Article Evaluation of Dietary Habits and Related Parameters in a Group of Inpatients With Mental Disorders(Kare Publ, 2025) Dikec, Gul; Ata, Elvan Emıne; Özer, Duygu; Çalışkan, Mahinur Betül; Taliskan, Mahinur BetulObjectives: This study aimed to examine the dietary habits and related parameters of individuals with mental disorders. Methods: This study was descriptive and cross-sectional. The sample consisted of 94 individuals hospitalized in the psychiatric clinic of a hospital between June and December 2021. Data were collected using an information form cre- ated by the researchers. Results: Of the participants, 83% were male, and 25.5% had a chronic physical illness. The patients had a diagnosis of mental disorder for an average of 6.07 years. The most common side effect was an increase in appetite (36.4%). Additionally, 76.6% ate within 15 minutes, 93.6% consumed fish once a week or never, and 56.4% never exercised. In- dividuals who consumed home-cooked meals had lower BMI averages than those who consumed fast food. A weakly significant positive correlation was found between BMI and waist circumference averages and the duration of medica- tion use. Individuals with anxiety disorders had lower waist circumference, glucose, and LDL values compared to those with mood disorders. In contrast, individuals with psychotic disorders had significantly lower LDL levels than those diagnosed with mood disorders. Conclusion: Individuals with mental disorders were found to have inadequate and unbalanced nutrition, consuming diets rich in carbohydrates and low in protein, which negatively affected their parameters. Psychiatric nurses should evaluate the dietary habits of patients and provide counseling about healthy nutrition.Article Life and Stigma Experiences of Individuals with Substance Use Disorder: A Qualitative Study(Turkish Green Crescent Soc, 2025) Dikec, Gul; Umut, Gokhan; Albal, EsraThis study aimed to determine the life and stigma experiences of individuals with substance use disorder who received inpatient treatment in an adult detoxification center. Data for this qualitative phenomenological study were collected in Istanbul between April and December 2023. The data were analyzed using Colazzi steps. A total of 26 individuals with substance use disorder were interviewed. The content analysis identified three main themes. The initial topic discussed was the effect of substance use on individuals’ lives. The sec- ond theme discussed was stigmatization. The final theme addressed coping with stigmatization. The study revealed that participants experienced negative emotions, including regret, guilt, and shame, due to stigma- tization, exclusion, and discrimination. Substance use treatment should not only focus on pharmacotherapy but also the psychological and social needs of the individual. Furthermore, to address negative attitudes in society, mental health professionals could inform families and disseminate anti-stigma programs.Article The Challenges Experienced by International Nursing Students in Nursing Education: a Qualitative Study(Ataturk Univ, 2024) Elmali Simsek, Hulya; Karali, Ece; Arslan, Gunay; Elmalı, Hülya; Özoğul, EceObjective: The study aimed to determine the challenges experienced by international nursing undergraduate students during their education period. Methods: A phenomenological research design was used. The study was conducted with 20 international nursing students enrolled in a foundation university in T & uuml;rkiye. Colaizzi's phenomenological data analysis method was employed in the study. Results: Based on the study's results, three main themes, 'Learning in a different environment', 'Challenges', 'Solution-Non Solution' and 'System difference, Language problems in clinical practice, Broad nursing curriculum, Facilitators, Language barrier, Feeling homesick, Racism and discrimination, Housing difficulties, Lack of funding, Instant solution, Failing to find a solution sub-themes themes were created. Conclusion: It has been observed that students experience different environments, uncertainties, and various challenges, and that these situations directly affect their education and success. To that end, both the institutions they receive education and the academicians must support the students in various ways.Conference Object Safe Drug Administration in Pediatric Nursing Education: A Quasi- Experimental Design Study(Atatürk Univ, 2023) Kan Onturk, Zehra; Sanci, Yagmur; Öntürk, Zehra KanObjective: This study was carried out to determine the correlation between the performance of students who received simulation-based pediatric nursing education and their self-confidence regarding safe drug administrations during simulation. Methods: The study was conducted in pretest and posttest quasi-experimental design and carried out on a sample group (n = 39) based on criteria established at the Nursing Department of a foundation university. Students were subjected to a simulation of "Drug Management in Children" within the scope of the pediatric nursing course. The researchers collected data through a checklist, a self-confidence scale, and tests (pretest and posttest) used in the simulation application on "Drug Management in Children." Results: The students obtained a mean score of 129.00 +/- 14.36 on the self-confidence scale. The posttest scores of the students were statistically significantly higher than the pretest scores (P = .011). The performance mean score of the students from the simulation checklist for safe drug administrations was 36.28 +/- 6.65. There was no statistically significant correlation between the scores from the self-confidence scale, the pretest, the posttest, and the checklist scores (P > .05). Conclusion: This study underlines the importance of having a suitable level of self-confidence for students' educational gains and also indicated that there was no correlation between self-confidence and performance.Article Nursing Student's Perceptions of the Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision and Nurse Teacher: a Cross-Sectional Study(Ataturk Univ, 2024) Karaca, Anita; Kizilkaya Beji, Nezihe; Kaya, Gizem; Beji, Nezihe KızılkayaObjective: This study aimed to determine nursing students' perceptions of the clinical learning environment, supervision and nurse teacher, and its affecting factors. Methods: This cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted with 205 students using the Student Information Form and the Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision and Nurse Teacher Evaluation Scale. The study included 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th year nursing students studying in the spring semester of 2020-2021. Data were collected by online method. Descriptive statistics (means, frequencies and percentages), Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis analyses were used to analyze the data. Results: The students of 59.5% stated their opinions were not taken during clinical practice placement, whereas 71.2% of them were placed in the compatible clinical environment. The students did not experience any problems during their clinical practice (77.6%) and they evaluated their satisfaction as "good" (37.6%). The lowest and highest sub-dimension scores from the scale were the "Pedagogical Atmosphere on the Ward (3.71 +/- 1.15)" and the "Premises of Nursing on the Ward (3.93 +/- 1.13)", respectively. The sub-dimension mean scores of the scale were significantly different from satisfaction with clinical practice, problems encountered during clinical practice, and placement in the compatible clinical environment (P<.001). Conclusion: Nursing students had a good perception of the supervision, learning environment, and nurse teacher. A positive clinical environment for nursing students that allows them to take an active role in patient care and nursing practice should be developed and maintained.
