    Determining the Relationship Between Perceptions of the Nursing Profession and Attitudes Towards Career Future of Nursing Senior Students: An Observational Study
    (Memorial Univ Newfoundland, 2024) Sozen, Kezban Koras; Aydemir, Tugba
    This investigation aimed to explore the correlation between the perceptions of nursing senior students regarding the nursing profession and their outlook on their future career prospects. The study sample for this descriptive and relationship -seeking research comprised 143 senior students enrolled in the nursing department of a university. The research was finalized with the participation of 105 students who satisfied the inclusion criteria and provided their consent. It was ascertained that Career Future Inventory (CFI) scores exhibited notable variations based on the students' gender, preparedness for the nursing profession, and their post -graduate employment status. The research revealed a substantial positive correlation among the CFI scale's overall score, the sub -dimensions of career adaptability and career optimism, and the total score of the Nursing Profession Perception Scale (PNPS). Furthermore, the sub -dimensions of age, gender, post -graduation work plan, and PNPS were identified as the contributing factors explaining 53.7% of the variation in the students' career plans. The study revealed that the students' perceptions of the status and the quality of the nursing profession were significant factors influencing their career plans. Consequently, it is essential to focus on fostering a positive professional perception among students by incorporating professional values and ethics into nursing education. By doing so, we can positively influence their attitudes towards the nursing profession and, in turn, enhance their career aspirations.

    The effect of acupressure on constipation symptoms and quality of life among older people: a mixed-methods study
    (Springer, 2023) Aydemir, Tugba; Tasci, Sultan; Bayraktar, Muhammet; Saz, Ali
    PurposeThis study aims to evaluate the effect of acupressure on constipation symptoms and quality of life in older people.MethodsThe study was a double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled, qualitative and quantitative mixed-method study. Individuals in the acupressure group received acupressure for 21 min per day for a total of 12 sessions. The other group received sham acupressure for the same duration. Constipation Assessment Scale (CAS), Constipation Quality of Life Scale (PAC-QOL), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and individual follow-up form were used to evaluate quantitative data, and semi-structured interview form was used to evaluate qualitative data.ResultsA total of 81 participants were randomized to acupressure (n = 41, mean age: 70.56 & PLUSMN; 4.76, 70.7% female) or sham acupressure (n = 40, mean age: 71.17 & PLUSMN; 5.19, 67.5% female). Repeated measurements of the participants showed that CAS scores differed significantly between acupressure applications (p < 0.001). There were also statistically significant differences between the two groups in PAC-QOL and VAS after the application, number of defecations and laxative use (p < 0.001). Compared to the placebo group, the acupressure group had significantly lower mean post-test scores in all constipation rating scales. Qualitative findings from the study also support the quantitative findings.ConclusionFor older people seeking evidence-based alternative therapy, acupressure may be a solution to reduce the constipation symptoms. Future studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm our study findings. Key summary pointsAimThis study aims to evaluate the effect of acupressure on constipation symptoms and quality of life in older people.FindingsIt was observed that the constipation score of the acupressure group were significantly decreased and the difference between the two groups was significant.MessageAcupressure is an effective non-pharmacological approach for the treatment of constipation.
