Article Development and Validation of a Self-Efficacy Scale for Patients With Colorectal Cancer Surgery(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2026) Sağlam Aksüt, Rabia; Çakır, YaseminSelf-efficacy in coping with cancer surgery is a key concept for planning and organizing nursing care. However, there is no validated measurement tool that can be used to assess self-efficacy in patients with colorectal cancer surgery. This cross-sectional study, with a multi-phase design, was conducted with 170 patients to describe the development and validation of the Self-Efficacy Scale for Patients with Colorectal Cancer Surgery (SES-CRCS). Phase 1 addressed the development procedures of the scale. In Phase 2, a 3-step validation process was conducted: (a) assessing the content validity, (b) evaluating construct validity with exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and (c) assessing internal consistency reliability with Cronbach's alpha coefficient, test-retest, and item-total correlation methods. Exploratory factor analysis suggested a 16-item single-factor structure. The factor loadings of the 16 items were above .40, and various indices used to examine the consistency of the scale indicated a good model fit. The Cronbach's alpha value was .838, the item-total correlations for all items were positive, and there was a strong correlation between the test-retest measurements (r = .933; p < .05). As a result, the SES-CRCS was found to be a valid and reliable measurement tool in assessing self-efficacy among patients with colorectal cancer surgery.Article Citation - WoS: 1Technical Approaches for Preservation of the Temporalis Muscle in Neurosurgery: A Systematic Review(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2025) Azab, Mohammed A.; Sarhan, Khalid; Atallah, Oday; Hernandez-Hernandez, Alan; Ibrahim, Ismail A.; Shama, Mohsen Nabih; Kammoun, BrahimBackground:The temporalis muscle is commonly dissected and mobilized during craniotomy. Cosmetic and functional complications may arise from the improper handling of this muscle. Surgery for recurrent pathologies may be challenging due to adhesions and muscle damage.Material and methods:A systematic review following PRISMA guidelines was conducted to consolidate literature on the potential techniques used for preserving the temporalis muscle during neurosurgical interventions. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were systematically searched using predefined criteria from inception to 2025. A qualitative synthesis was done summarizing the primary cranial pathology, type of surgical approach, the technical clue for temporalis muscle preservation, follow up and complications.Results:We included 27 eligible articles with a total number of 811 patients. About 508 (62.6%) of patients underwent pterional approach, while 150 (18.4%) patients had decompressive craniotomies. Aneurysm clipping was the surgical indication in 172 (21.2%) patients, while decompressive surgery was done for traumatic brain injuries in about 48 (5.9%) patients. Osteoplastic temporalis muscle flap was used in 178 (21.9%) patients, while some authors sutured the temporalis muscle to the cranioplasty plate in 79 (9.7%) patients. Fixation of the temporalis muscle to the bone using sutures through small holes was done in 100 (12.33%) patients. No chewing problems were recorded among all the patients analyzed. Temporalis muscle atrophy was observed in only 13 (1.6%) patients.Conclusion:Proper manipulation of the temporalis muscle during surgery is crucial for the vitality of its fibers and to prevent postoperative functional or cosmetic drawbacks.Conference Object A Review on Investigating the Effect of Consent Systems on Organ Donation Rates(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2024) Seren, Arzu Harmanci[No Abstract Available]Conference Object Psychometrics of Floden Attitudes Toward Organ Donor Advocacy Instrument in Turkish: a Scale Adaptation Study Among Intensive Care Unit Nurses.(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2024) Floden, Anne Charlotte; Utku, Tughan; Kiraner, Ebru; Yayik, Aycan Kelez; Seren, Arzu Kader Harmanci[No Abstract Available]Conference Object A Review on Investigating the Effect of Consent Systems on Organ Donation Rates(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2024) Seren, Arzu Harmanci[No Abstract Available]Conference Object Psychometrics of Flodén Attitudes Toward Organ Donor Advocacy Instrument in Turkish: a Scale Adaptation Study Among Intensive Care Unit Nurses(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2024) Floden, Anne Charlotte; Utku, Tughan; Kiraner, Ebru; Yayik, Aycan Kelez; Seren, Arzu Kader Harmanci[No Abstract Available]Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Evaluation of the Use of Diverse Mental Health Simulation in Nursing Students' Learning Experience <i>an International Multisite Study</I>(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2021) Ozkara, Eda; Dikec, Gul; Ata, Elvan Emine; Sendir, Merdiye; Ozkara San, EdaBackground: Simulated patients (SPs) in mental health nursing education provide a unique approach to assist student development in complex assessment skills. Purpose: The purpose of this international multisite study was to evaluate the use of two diverse mental health SP simulation scenarios on nursing students' satisfaction and self-confidence in learning to care for patients with mental health disorders in the United States (n = 70) and Turkey (n = 90). Methods: A multisite cross-sectional study design was used. Outcome measures included the Student Satisfaction and Self-confidence in Learning Scale and the adapted Simulation Effectiveness Tool Modified. Results were analyzed using independent I tests. Results: While students in the United States reported higher perceived self-confidence and satisfaction in learning, both student populations found the intervention effective to their learning (P<.05). Conclusion: Using SPs in mental health education allow students to practice their assessment skills learned in classroom and transfer them to the clinical area.
