AimThe authors aimed to give brief information to the international nursing community about the situation related to earthquakes in the aspects of nurses. ConclusionThese earthquakes caused traumatic processes in the affected regions. Many people, including nurses and other healthcare professionals, died or were injured. The results demonstrated that the required preparedness had not been applied. Nurses went to these areas voluntarily or on assignment and cared for individuals with injured. The universities in the country passed to distance education because of the shortage of safe places for victims. This situation also negatively influenced nursing education and clinical practice by interrupting in-person education one more time after the COVID-19 pandemic. Implications for nursing and nursing policySince the outcomes show a need for well-organized health and nursing care, policymakers may consider getting nurses' contributions to the disaster preparedness and management policy-making processes.Article Citation - WoS: 25I'm a Hero, but Horizontal Ellipsis : an Evaluation of Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Levels of Frontline Healthcare Professionals During Covid-19 Pandemic in Turkey(Wiley, 2021) Harmancı Seren, Arzu Kader; Eskin Bacaksiz, Feride; Tiryaki Sen, Hanife; Taskiran Eskici, Gulcan; Gumus, Emel; Harmanci Seren, Arzu K.; Hemşirelik BölümüPurpose It was aimed to evaluate depression, anxiety, stress symptoms of health professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic and to reveal the risk factors.

This descriptive and cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the homophobia among medical, nursing, pharmacy, and healthcare sciences students and examine the related factors. The study included 2,531 students from medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and other health sciences (midwifery, nutrition and dietetics, physiotherapy, management of healthcare facilities) disciplines. Homophobia was measured with the Hudson and Ricketts Homophobia Scale. After getting ethical and institutional approvals, data were collected and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tests. Medical students had the lowest homophobia score, and their mean score was significantly lower than other students. There was a significant difference between students' scores according to years of study, age, sex, acquaintance with LGBTI individuals, providing healthcare services to an LGBTI person, and opinions on providing care. Although homophobia scores of nursing, pharmacy, and other health sciences students were lower than the medical students', policies and expansive content regarding LGBTI should be in place in all health science educational institutes, including medical schools, to prevent students from holding homophobic and prejudicial attitudes against LGBTI individuals.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 8The Turkish Version of the Patient Safety Competency Self-Evaluation Tool: a Validity and Reliability Study(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021) Harmancı Seren, Arzu Kader; Kanig, Merve; Ugur, Esra; Seren, Arzu Kader Harmanci; Hemşirelik BölümüAim: To test the validity and reliability of the Patient Safety Competency Self-Evaluation Tool in Turkish, which was developed to evaluate the patient safety competencies of nursing students. Background: In nursing education, it is crucial to provide students with the necessary professional knowledge and skills as well as appropriate attitudes in certain subjects. It is essential to address frequently encountered problems, to train nurses who can be aware of patient safety and improve the quality of nursing education. A valid and reliable measurement tool is needed to evaluate nursing students' current patient safety knowledge, skills and attitudes and review the curriculum and learning objectives in this context. Design: This is a validation study with a cross-sectional design. Methods: The study sample consisted of 417 third and fourth-grade nursing students studying at two universities in Istanbul and volunteered to participate in the research. The study used the Turkish version of the Patient Safety Competency Self-Evaluation Tool was used for data collection. Content validity, construct validity, stability and reliability tests were performed. Data were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS programs. Ethics committee approval and permission from the institutions were obtained. Results: Nursing students' mean age was 21.98 (SD = 1.17). The Scope Validity Index of the scale was calculated as 0.97. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis performed in the original structure consisting of three dimensions, 12 factors and 41 items, it was found that all items were in the sub-dimensions of the original scale and factor loads were between 0.168 and 0.918. Four models were tested in confirmatory factor analysis and Model 4 had the best-fit indices. They were calculated as: chi(2)/df = 2.38, RMSEA = 0.06 and CFI = 0.91 for Model 4. Cronbach's alpha value of the total scale was 0.941 and ranged between 0.642 and 0.932 in its sub-dimensions. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the Patient Safety Competency Self-Evaluation Tool is valid and reliable to measure nursing students' patient safety competencies.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Evaluation of Psychosocial Outcomes of Living Liver Donors in Liver Transplantation(Aves, 2022) Harmancı Seren, Arzu Kader; Seren, Arzu Kader Harmanci; Karayurt, Ozgul; Kul, Gulay Aksu; Kilic, Murat; Bozoklar, Cemal Ata; Tokat, Yaman; Hemşirelik BölümüBackground: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk factors affecting psychosocial outcomes of living liver donors after liver transplantations. Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of living liver donors followed by 2 liver transplantation centers in 2 private hospitals in 2 different provinces, between August 2017 and October 2019. All the living liver donors were contacted without a time frame after donation and all the participants were evaluated once. The Beck Depression Scale, SF-36, General Self-Efficacy Scale, and Perceived Available Support Scale were used to collect data. The t-test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U-test, and Pearson correlation analysis were used for data analysis. Results: The mean age of the patients was 34.31 +/- 8.22 years. There was a positive, weak correlation between age and physical function. Gender, marital status, financial status, and education levels significantly affected physical components, social function, vitality, depression, and self-efficacy scores. High depression levels negatively affected the physical component, self-efficacy, and social support scores of the living liver donors. High self-efficacy positively affected social support. Conclusion: The study revealed that gender, marital status, employment status, and education levels were associated with psychosocial outcomes. The financial status was the main factor affecting each psychosocial variable. Financial status needs to be assessed in detail before and after the operation.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3The Validity and Reliability of the Thanatophobia Scale-Turkish Form: a Psychometric Study Among Nurses(Sage Publications inc, 2024) Harmancı Seren, Arzu Kader; Seren, Arzu K.

Background Because 'change' is an inevitable fact of today's health care environments, developing change management competencies at all levels is a must to survive and compete for the organisations and professionals in the health care systems. Methods A descriptive qualitative approach was used. The sample consisted of 18 nurses reached by using snowball sampling. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed using the Colaizzi method in the NVivo12 program. Results The results of the study were collected under three main themes: 'general approaches and initial responses to change', 'factors affecting attitudes toward change' and 'strategic mistakes made by managers during the change process'. Conclusion The study showed that nurses show different reactions to change. Their attitudes towards change could be affected positively and negatively by the relevant factors. Nurses thought that managers were making strategic mistakes during the change process. Implications for nursing management Recognizing the approaches of nurses and managers towards change and increasing awareness of the mistakes during the change process may contribute to the achievement of the change processes in health care settings.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Critical Thinking Among Clinical Nurses and Related Factors: a Survey Study in Public Hospitals(Wiley, 2022) Harmancı Seren, Arzu Kader; Zuriguel-Perez, Esperanza; Seren, Arzu Kader Harmanci; Hemşirelik BölümüAims and objectives The study investigated clinical nurses' critical thinking levels in public hospitals and related factors. Background Since health care environments have become more complex, the critical thinking skills of clinical nurses are more important in daily problem-solving and decision-making processes. However, little research was conducted on this topic among clinical nurses. Methods It was a cross-sectional study at five public hospitals between December 2018 and January 2019. The study followed the STROBE guideline. Data were collected from 559 nurses by a survey consisted of a data form and the Turkish version of the Nursing Critical Thinking in Clinical Practice Questionnaire. Results Nurses' mean critical thinking scores were moderate level. Total critical thinking scores of the clinical nurses significantly differed according to education, hospital type, shift work, professional category and role. There was a significant effect on the total critical thinking scores of the clinical nurses according to variables. Conclusion This study found that critical thinking levels of nurses' working in clinical settings in public hospitals were moderate level. Hospital type, shift work, professional and educational level and role were significantly associated with clinical nurses' critical thinking levels. Relevance to clinical practice This study provides evidence related to the levels of critical thinking of clinical nurses working in public hospitals. Since the critical thinking scores of the manager nurses, daytime working nurses' and nurses with bachelor's and master's degree education are higher, hospital managers may benefit from the study to implement effective strategies to improve the competence of critical thinking levels of nurses.
