Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Symptoms Experienced at Home and Self-Care Requisites of Patients After Heart Transplantation: a Retrospective Study(Sage Publications inc, 2024) Aksut, Rabia Saglam; Yavuz, Busra; Aksut, Mehmet; Gunay, Deniz; Kirali, Mehmet Kaan; Saglam Aksut, RabiaHeart transplantation is the most important treatment option in end-stage heart failure, and heart transplant recipients should be monitored at home by healthcare professionals in terms of symptoms and self-care requisites. The aim of this study is to examine symptoms and self-care requisites of patients with heart transplantation after discharge. Symptoms and self-care requisites of 81 patients who had heart transplantation between 2015 and 2020 were evaluated retrospectively in this study. Survey data were collected using the telephone interview method. It was determined that 77.8% of the patients were male and their mean age was 41.87 +/- 2.51 years. Fatigue (91.4%), pain in the back, neck, and joints (86.4%), restlessness/agitation (81.5%), weight gain (71.6%), and edema in the lower extremities (71.6%) were the first 5 common symptoms experienced at home after heart transplantation. It was also found that the vast majority of patients (80.2%) answered negatively to the question of eliminating the lack of knowledge about the disease, and some of the patients were found not to pay attention to some important issues (e.g., regular blood pressure check, quitting smoking, etc.). Findings revealed that patients with heart transplantation experience a series of symptoms, and their self-care requisites were mostly focused on education and information specific to the disease after discharge. As a part of public health nursing practices, home care concentrating on symptoms and learning needs of patients should be planned and organized with a multidisciplinary approach to decrease rehospitalization and contribute to cost-effectiveness after heart transplantation.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Informal Adult Learning: Advertisements in Women's Magazines in Turkey(Sage Publications inc, 2021) Gur, Faik; Seggie, Fatma Nevra; Basgurboga, Gulsah KisabacakThis study examines the visual and verbal content of advertisements in women's magazines published between 1980 and 1990 in Turkey. Based on content analysis, we established the categories of products and services, age, body parts, women's roles, clothes, and locations. We determined the five most frequent words employed in all grammatical or lexical forms: beautiful (guzel), to live (yasamak), new (yeni), skin (cilt), and young (genc). By examining the data through informal learning, the study looks at how consumer-oriented values were taught informally to women readers during a period when Turkey underwent integration with the neoliberal global economy. We argue that the advertisements in women's magazines were effective both in terms of disseminating the dominant values of the era and in causing women to informally internalize the consumer-oriented values required for the development of the desired female subjectivities of an emerging neoliberal society.Article Citation - WoS: 5Occupational Competence and Activities of Daily Living Performance in Bronchial Asthma Competence professionnelle et activites de la vie quotidienne Performance dans l'asthme bronchique(Sage Publications inc, 2021) Guzel, Husna; Saglam, Melda; Pekcetin, Serkan; Yagli, Naciye Vardar; Boyaci, HasimBackground. Activity restriction is one of the most common symptoms reported by people living with bronchial asthma. Purpose. The study aimed to determine occupational competence and values in people living with bronchial asthma and compare with the occupational competence and activities of daily living (ADL) of healthy controls. Methods. Twenty individuals with asthma and 20 healthy controls were enrolled. Occupational competence and values were assessed using the Occupational Self-Assessment (OSA) questionnaire. Restriction of ADL was determined using the London Chest ADL Scale. Findings. Occupational competence was lower, and all London Chest ADL scores were significantly higher in asthma individuals compared to controls (p < .05). The most affected parameters reported by asthma individuals on the OSA were the ability to concentrate, perform physical tasks, work toward goals, and use abilities effectively. Implications. Evaluating occupational competence in people living with bronchial asthma is important to identify their occupational problem areas and provide appropriate interventions.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5The Validity and Reliability of the Thanatophobia Scale-Turkish Form: a Psychometric Study Among Nurses(Sage Publications inc, 2024) Cifcioglu, Zulfiye Yildiz; Seren, Arzu K. Harmanci; Yildiz Çifçioğlu, Zülfiye; Harmanci Seren, Arzu K.Purpose: To examine the validity and reliability of the Thanatophobia Scale-Turkish Form among nurses. Design and methods: This methodological study included 154 nurses. Content and construct validity, item analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and internal consistency were used to evaluate the data. Findings: The content validity index of the scale was 0.91. Item-total score correlation values varied between 0.453 and 0.718. As a result of the confirmatory factor analyses, one factor was confirmed. Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient was 0.854. Practice Implications: Thanatophobia Scale-Turkish Form is a valid and reliable tool used to evaluate the fear of death among nurses.
