Article Being Pregnant in the Covid-19 Pandemic: Has the Pandemıc Increased Physical and Mental Symptoms(2024) Ozturk, Senay; Sağlam, RabiaAim: This descriptive-cross-sectional study aims to determine whether the Covid-19 pandemic affected pregnant women's physical and mental symptoms. Methods: The study was conducted between December 2020 and December 2021 with 352 pregnant women. The data of the study were collected using the Personal Information Form, Pregnancy Symptom Inventory-PSI, Brief Symptom Inventory-BSI, and Visual Analog Scale-VAS. Results: The participants’ PSI and BSI mean scores were 28.69± 14.46, 0.68 ± 0.47 respectively. It was found that the highest scores were obtained from the anxiety (0.72 ± 0.63) and depression (0.95 ± 0.71) sub-dimensions of the BSI. It was found that women who received support from their husbands and had good relationships with their husbands had statistically significantly lower mental and physical symptoms (p˂0.05). Conclusions: Although it was found that pregnant women experienced mild mental and physical symptoms during the pandemic, anxiety, and depression symptoms were high among mental symptoms. Especially those who received support from their husbands and had good relationships with their husbands had lower mental and physical symptoms. According to our conclusion that spouse support is especially important, spouse support should be taken into consideration when identifying risky groups and making appropriate interventions.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Effect of Home Care After Cardiac Surgery(Managed Care & Healthcare Communications Llc, 2023) Aksut, Rabia Saglam; Kilic, DilekOBJECTIVES: Home care that maintains continuity of health care services after cardiac surgery is considered a complementary component of clinical care. We estimated that effective home care given with a multidisciplinary approach would contribute to decreasing symptoms and readmissions to the hospital after cardiac surgery.STUDY DESIGN: This experimental study with a 6-week follow-up period and a 2-group repeated measures design with pretest, posttest, and interval tests was conducted in a public hospital in Turkey in 2016.METHODS: We identified the self-efficacy levels, symptoms, and readmissions to the hospital of 60 patients (30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group) throughout the data collection process, and we estimated the effect of home care on self-efficacy, symptom management, and hospital readmissions by comparing the data of patients in the experimental and control groups. Each patient in the experimental group received 7 home visits along with 24/7 telephone counseling services throughout the first 6 weeks after discharge, and patients were provided physical care, training, and counseling services during these home visits with the collaboration of their physician.RESULTS: Home care resulted in better self-efficacy and fewer symptoms in the experimental group (P < .05), and it also reduced readmissions to the hospital in the experimental group (23.3%) compared with the control group (46.7%).CONCLUSIONS: This study's findings suggest that home care, with a focus on continuity of care, decreases symptoms and readmissions to the hospital and improves the self-efficacy of patients after cardiac surgery.Article Kalp Cerrahisi Semptom Envanterinin Türk Dilinde Geçerlik ve Güvenirliği(2023) Altınok, Dilara; Sağlam, RabiaBu araştırma, Kalp Cerrahisi Semptom Envanterinin (KCSE) geçerlik ve güvenirliğini değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Metodolojik türdeki bu araştırma Aralık 2017-Eylül 2018 tarihleri arasında bir devlet ve bir vakıf üniversitesi hastanesinde KABG ameliyatı olan 312 hasta ile yürütülmüştür. Veriler, Hasta Bilgi Formu ve KCSE kullanılarak toplanmıştır. KCSE’nin dil geçerliği, çeviri-geri çeviri yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Kapsam geçerliğinde ise Davis tekniği kullanılmıştır. Envanterin güvenirliği için Cronbach α katsayısı ve madde toplam korelasyonları incelenmiştir. Örneklem yeterliliği ve verilerin faktör analizine uygunluğunu değerlendirmek için Kaiser-Mayer-Olkin (KMO) ve Bartlett testleri uygulanmıştır. Envanterin KMO değeri 0,867 olarak bulunmuştur ve bu değer temel bileşenler analizi için uygunluğu göstermektedir. Benzer şekilde Bartlett testi sonuçları da $(x^2=22733,809; p=0,000)$ verinin birbiri ile ilişki gösterdiğini ve faktör analizi için uygun olduğunu göstermektedir. Envanterin Kapsam Geçerlilik İndeksi (KGİ) 0,84 olarak bulunmuştur. Tek alt boyut olarak incelenen 35 maddelik KCSE’nin faktör yükleri 333 ile 858 arasında değişmektedir ve açıklanan varyans %44,922’dir. Envanterin toplam Cronbach α katsayısı 0,961 olup, tüm maddeler için toplam madde korelasyonları pozitiftir. Sonuç olarak, tek alt boyutlu ve 35 maddeli KCSE’nin Türk dilinde geçerli ve güvenilir bir envanter olduğu ve kalp cerrahisi sonrası hastaların semptomlarını değerlendirmede kullanılabileceği bulunmuştur.Article Validity and Reliability of the Symptom-Management Self- Efficacy Scale for Breast Cancer Related To Chemotherapy(Galenos Publ House, 2022) Semiz, Demet; Saglam Aksut, Rabia; Sağlam, RabiaObjective: Since breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common cancer types among women, it is very important for nurses to assess symptom-management and self-efficacy of patients during chemotherapy treatment. This study was carried out to examine the validity and reliability of the symptom-management self-efficacy scale for BC related to chemotherapy. Methods: The study sample of this methodological research consisted of 248 women receiving chemotherapy treatment due to breast cancer in a public hospital in Istanbul between November 2017 ans March 2018. Translation-back translation method was used to assess the language validity of the scale. Kaiser-Mayer-Olkin and Bartlett's tests were applied to evaluate the sampling adequacy and the suitability of the data for factor analysis. Results: The content validity of the Turkish form was 0.912; Cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.905. The factor loads of all the items belonging to the scale were above 0.40, and explained variance for the scale was as follows; 16,284 for the problem-solving sub-dimension; 13,517 for the sub-dimension of managing problems in emotional and interpersonal relationships, and total explained variance of the scale was found to be 46,944. For this reason, no items were removed from the scale and the scale was accepted as having 3 sub-dimensions as it was in the original. Conclusion: Findings obtained from this study showed that the Turkish version of the scale was valid and reliable and could be used in research and clinical practice in Turkey.Article Development and Psychometric Properties of the Self-Efficacy Scale for Symptom Management and Self-Care in Patients with Cardiac Surgery(Springer Publishing Co, 2025) Aksut, Rabia Saglam; Capik, Canturk; Elmas, Tugce BozkurtBackground and Purpose: Evaluating self-efficacy for symptom management and self-care is crucial for ensuring follow-up care after cardiac surgery. As there is not yet a validated measurement tool for this evaluation, the aim of this study was to develop the Self-Efficacy Scale for Symptom Management and Self-Care (SESMSC: Cardiac Surgery) in patients with cardiac surgery and to examine its psychometric properties. Methods: The Symptom Management Theory and Bandura's Self-Efficacy Theory were used as the theoretical background for scale development. A multiphase design was utilized. The initial development phase consisted of item generation and expert panel review. The second phase comprised a three-step validation process: (a) face and content analysis (CFA) for construct validity, and (c) Cronbach's alpha, test-retest, and item- total correlation analysis to assess internal consistency reliability. The sample (n = 401) was randomly divided into two subsamples for EFA and CFA (EFA group: n = 201; CFA group: n = 200). Results: EFA suggested a 20-item, two-factor structure with factor loadings of .342-.782. The two subscales of the scale were labeled symptom management self-efficacy and self-efficacy for ch's alpha, test-retest, and item-total correlation results demonstrated acceptable internal consistency reliability. Implications for Practice: The SESMSC: Cardiac Surgery may be a useful tool to evaluate self-efficacy for symptom management and self-care after cardiac surgery. Further evaluation in independent samples is needed to investigate its psychometric properties and usefulness in clinical practice.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: 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: 2Citation - Scopus: 1Evaluation of Telemedicine for Contraceptive Counseling Given To Pregnant Women During the Covid-19 Pandemic: a Randomized Controlled Trial(Taylor & Francis inc, 2024) Aksut, Rabia Saglam; Inam, Ozen; Saglam Aksut, RabiaIn this study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of telemedicine for contraceptive counseling on knowledge levels and satisfaction with Family Planning Services. We collected data from 77 third-trimester pregnant women using a personal information form, Family Planning Knowledge Questionnaire, and the Satisfaction with Family Planning Services Scale and compared the data using chi-square test, Fisher's exact chi-square test, t-test for independent and dependent groups and Mann-Whitney U analysis. The experimental group participants (n = 37) received two informative video visits for contraceptive counseling, while the women in the control group (n = 40) received routine face-to-face Family Planning Services at their primary health care center. Participants in the experimental group showed a greater increase in knowledge levels and higher satisfaction with Family Planning Services than those in the control group (p < 0.05). In conclusion, we determined that telemedicine for contraceptive counseling is a promising option even beyond the pandemic.
