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: 1Safety and Efficacy of Depatuxizumab Mafodotin Monotherapy or in Combination With Temozolomide in Patients With/Without EGFR-Amplified Recurrent Glioblastoma: A Systematic Review(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2025) Moghib, Khaled; Hassan, Malak A.; Eljadid, Ghaith Y.; Salomon, Izere; Algazar, Mansour A.; Abu Arafeh, Muhannad Wael; Ibrahim, Ismail A.This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of depatuxizumab mafodotin as a monotherapy or in combination with temozolomide in patients with recurrent epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-amplified glioblastoma multiforme, focusing on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus databases up to August 2024. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies were included, comparing depatuxizumab mafodotin alone or with temozolomide in patients with and without EGFR amplification. Data extraction encompassed participant demographics, treatment regimens, and clinical outcomes. Of 102 screened publications, 10 RCTs and cohort studies involving 1431 patients met the inclusion criteria. The included studies examined depatuxizumab mafodotin as a standalone therapy and in combination with other agents, revealing OS ranging from 5 to 14 months and considerable variability in PFS. While depatuxizumab mafodotin shows the potential to improve survival outcomes, the heterogeneity in results highlights the need for further research. Future studies should refine patient selection criteria and explore alternative therapeutic combinations, such as depatuxizumab mafodotin with gemcitabine or cisplatin, to optimize treatment strategies.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.Article Citation - WoS: 3Need To Address the Gender Disparities in Neurosurgery in India(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2024) Anand, Ayush; Ibrahim, Ismail A.; Kathayat, Priyangi; Ansari, Ayesha; Aggarwal, Yash; Wahi, Riddhpreet Kaur; Rustagi, Sarvesh[No Abstract Available]Article Citation - WoS: 3Nipah Virus Transmission: a Persistent Threat To Public Health Demanding Rapid Diagnosis, Innovative Therapeutics, Vigilance, and Research Progress(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2024) Islam, Md. Aminul; Ibrahim, Ismail A.; Hemo, Mizbahul Karim[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.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 9The Relationship Between Perceived Quality of Care and the Patient Safety Culture of Turkish Nurses(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2022) Karaca, Anita; Akin, Semiha; Harmanci Seren, Arzu KaderBackground Evaluating nurses' perceived quality of care and safety culture is an essential part of the nursing practice and critical to improving the quality of nursing care. Purpose This study aimed to examine the relationship between perceived quality of care and Turkish nurses' patient safety culture. Methods This was a descriptive cross-sectional study. The data were collected from a foundation university hospital in Istanbul. The sample consisted of 116 nurses, and data were collected using the Caring Behaviors Inventory-24 and Patient Safety Culture Scale. The nurses were asked to complete the questionnaires. Results The mean age of participating nurses was 25.95 (SD = 6.72) years. The mean duration of professional experience of the participants was 6.37 (SD = 6.05) years. Most (72.4%) of the participants were women who had graduated from vocational high schools (52.6%) and were working in the neonatal intensive care unit (37.9%). The highest mean subdimension score on the Caring Behaviors Inventory-24 was 5.78 (SD = 0.43) for the knowledge and skills subdimension. The highest mean subdimension score on the Patient Safety Culture Scale was 3.55 (SD = 0.48) for the unexpected event and error reporting subdimension. Statistically significant correlations were found between Caring Behaviors Inventory-24 and Patient Safety Culture Scale scores (r = .553, p < .01), with the lowest correlation found between the employee behavior and knowledge and skills dimensions (r = .305, p = .001). The highest statistically significant correlation coefficients that were found were between the Patient Safety Culture Scale total scores and the connectedness dimension of the Caring Behaviors Inventory-24 (r = .58, p < .001). Conclusions/Implications for Practice Nurses perceive patient care positively and have a positive perception of safety culture. Evaluating the perceived quality of care and patient safety culture perceptions will help prevent adverse events related to patient care and improve the quality of care.
