Öğe A nation-wide study determining psychosocial care skill perceptions of Turkish nurses working with cancer patients(Wiley, 2018) Yildirim, Nazmiye Kocaman; Guner, Perihan; Inci, Figen; Hicdurmaz, Duygu; Fernandez, Ritin Santiago; Ozdemir, Sevgul; Ince, Aysegul[Abstract Not Available]Öğe A nation-wide study of Turkish oncology nurses' perceptions towards providing care for cancer patients(Wiley, 2018) Guner, Perihan; Inci, Figen; Hicdurmaz, Duygu; Yildirim, Nazmiye Kocaman; Fernandez, Ritin Santiago; Ozdemir, Sevgul; Ince, Aysegul[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Birth-related PTSD symptoms and related factors following preterm childbirth in Turkey(Springer, 2023) Isbir, Gozde Gokce; Inci, Figen; Akik, Burcu Komurcu; Abreu, Wilson; Thomson, GillObjective: To examine factors associated with birth-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among women who had preterm birth in their last pregnancy in Turkey.Methods: 304 women were asked to report sociodemographic factors, perinatal factors, birth-related factors, preterm birth/premature infant characteristics, and social support factors and PTSD symptoms. Data were collected using online surveys between November 2020 and February 2021. Hierarchical multiple linear regression was used. Results: The prevalence of birth-related PTSD symptoms following preterm birth was 71.1%. Older age, the woman being positively affected by her own mother's birth experience, not having traumatic experience in pregnancy and in the postnatal period, lower stress level after traumatic events experienced during birth, not feeling that their life/physical integrity was at risk during birth, having amniotomy, feeling psychologically well after childbirth, not being negatively affected by witnessing other parents' happy moments with their babies in friend/family groups, the absence of infant illness and mother's reporting higher positive interactions with healthcare team were associated with decreased likelihood of birth-related PTSD. Except for age and traumatic event in the postnatal period, all the variables explained 43% of the variance with a small effect size (f(2) = 0.04). Stress level after the traumatic events experienced during labor was the strongest predictor of birth-related PTSD symptoms (beta = 0.33). Conclusion: Wellbeing of mother and baby, facilitating interventions at labor, and positive communication with the healthcare team was associated with lower birth-related PTSD symptoms. The study findings highlighted on birth-related PTSD symptoms in mothers of preterm infants in Turkey.Öğe Demographic and professional predictors of professional quality of life among nurses working in the field of oncology: A nation-wide study from Turkey(Wiley, 2018) Guner, Perihan; Hicdurmaz, Duygu; Yildirim, Nazmiye Kocaman; Inci, Figen; Fernandez, Ritin Santiago; Ozdemir, Sevgul; Ince, Aysegul[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Determining the psychiatric symptoms of the first class students of health school(2010) Beşer, Nalân Gördeles; Inci, FigenPurpose: This research was made in the purpose of determining the psychiatric symptoms of Ni?de University Zübeyde Hanim Health School, Nursing and Midwife Departments. Method: The study consists of the 1. class students of Ni?de University Zübeyde Hanim Health School, Nursing and Midwife Departments (99). All of the 1. class students who accepted to join the research were included (87). For collection of data, an inquiry form created by the researchers and 'Symptom Check List' (SCL- 90-R), were used. For the analysis of data, t test, Kruskall Wallis and Mann Whitney U test were used. Findings: Main symptom average (1.03±0.47) of SCL-90-R shows that the students have psychological problems. For example; somatization, anxiety, anger, phobic anxiety, paranoid thoughts and psychotism, medium level trouble at the sub-dimensions (between 0.5-1 points), obsessive compulsive symptoms, interpersonal sensibility and psychological problems at depression sub-dimensions (more than 1.0) were seen. Besides, students of midwifery section had more psychological symptoms at sub-dimensions in comparison with nursing students (p<0.05). Gender of the students, places where they lived longest, their socioeconomic levels and the places where they live at present time didn't result in any difference in terms of psychiatric symptoms (p>0.05). Discussion: First grade students are likely to have significant mental and emotional problems about mental status. This result are consistent with the findings in literature. At the first years of school, university students have difficulties, because of the hardships that life brings like being in a new environment and being away from their parents. At the same time, also the probation practices beside the theoretical courses take place in Health High Schools and the unbearable issues at the practice area may put students under higher pressure. Research findings show that the students of Health High School are a high risk group in terms of psychological trouble. Therefore, it is important to determine the problems resulted from training environment within a short term and to interfere with these problems before they get deeper. Consequently, it is advised to support the student with orientation programs at the early years of training, and with advisory programs at advanced classes.Öğe Effects of death education on nurses' death anxiety, depression regarding death, and attitudes towards the dying patient(CUMHURIYET UNIV TIP FAK PSIKIYATRI ANABILIM DALI, 2009) Inci, Figen; Oz, FatmaObjective: The research was carried out as a pre-test, post-test patterned intervention research in one group in order to assess the effects of death education on death anxiety of nurses who are nursing patients in terminal phase, their death depression regarding death, and their attitudes towards the dying patient. Methods: The research was conducted with 45 nurses working in clinics wherein terminal phase patients were nursed and the intensive care units in Hacettepe University Oncology and Ihsan Dogramaci Children's Hospitals and who accepted to participate in the research. Each session of the training program which consisted of 7 total sessions once a week was given in the meeting halls of the Oncology and Children's Hospital within the framework of the session and in harmony with the determined aims for duration of 90 minutes. Data were collected with a data collection form by implementing Scales of Death Anxiety, Death Depression Scale, and the Attitude Scale about Euthanasia, Death, and Dying Patient. T-test, Wilcoxon, Mann Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used in data assessment. Results: At the end of the education, average of the scores which the nurses got on the scales of death anxiety, and death depression scale decreased at a statistically significant level (p<0.05). A statistically significant change was not determined in the attitude scale about of euthanasia, death, and dying patient between the pre-test and post-test average scores (p>0.05). Effect of the death education program didn't vary according to the age of the nurses, years they worked, manner of being affected from terminal phase patient nursing and meaning they attributed to death. Discussion: The results of study revealed that it is recommended to spread out death education in order for health professionals who are giving terminal phase patient care to provide qualified palliative care. (Anatolian Journal of Psychiatry 2009; 10: 253-260)Öğe Evaluation of cognitive insight, social functionality, and coping attitudes of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia being followed-up in a community mental health center(W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2023) Gulcuoglu, Merve; Inci, Figen; Ozcan, AysegulAim: This study was conducted to evaluate the cognitive insight, social functionality, and coping attitudes of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia being followed-up in a Community Mental Health Center (CMHC). Design and methods: The population of this descriptive and relationship-seeking study comprised 170 schizophrenia patients followed-up in the CMHC. Study data were collected using the Information Form, the Beck Cognitive Insight Scale (BCIS), the Social Functioning Assessment Scale (SFAS), and the Coping Orientation of Problem Experience (COPE). Findings: A moderately significant positive correlation between cognitive insight and social functionality was determined. It was found that participants with high cognitive insight and social functionality used more problem- and emotion-focused coping methods. Application implications: It is thought that practices that improve cognitive insight and social functionality will contribute to the rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenia by supporting their coping skills.Öğe Evaluation of Group Counseling for Women With Breast Cancer in Turkey(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2012) Oz, Fatma; Dil, Sati; Inci, Figen; Kamisli, SongulBackground: Breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers among women. Health services for breast cancer patients should give high priority to the social and psychological realities experienced by those dealing with the ramifications of their illness. Psychosocial interventions and group counseling for patients have been shown to be highly effective in the care of breast cancer patients. Objective: This study was conducted to determine the effects of group counseling on the adaptation of breast cancer patients to their illness. Methods: Sessions are made weekly, and each session lasted about 1.5 to 2 hours, and the researchers attended all sessions together. Pretests were administered to the patients at the first of the 10 group sessions, and posttests were administered at the last group session. Pretest/posttest pattern data were collected from 56 breast cancer patients using the Ways of Coping Inventory, the Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale-Self-report, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. These were evaluated using the SPSS 9.0 statistical package. Results: After group counseling, patients showed an increase in their positive perceptions of social support, psychosocial adaptation, and in their abilities to cope with breast cancer. Conclusions: The findings indicate that this group-counseling program positively affected patients' perceived social support and enhanced their abilities to effectively cope with stress. Implications for Practice: Cancer patients can have various problems in the adaptation process to cancer. Therefore, oncology nurses should be actively involved in working with patients to find solutions and ways of coping with the issues they face.Öğe Examining nurses' death anxiety and attitudes toward caring for dying patients: a cross-sectional study in Turkey(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Inci, Figen; Sozen, Kezban KorasDeath anxiety may reduce the interaction between nurses and patients, causing nurses to focus more on the physical care needs of patients and ignore their psychosocial and spiritual needs. This study was conducted to examine nurses' death anxiety and attitudes toward caring for dying patients. The data were collected using an information form, the Thorson-Powell Death Anxiety Scale (TPDAS), and the Frommelt Attitudes Toward the Care of the Dying Scale (FATCOD). The mean TPDAS and FATCOD scores were 46.71 (14.48) and 104.97 (13.55), respectively, and it was determined that they had moderate death anxiety and positive attitudes towards the care of dying patients. Those working in intensive care and internal medicine clinics had more positive attitudes toward caring for dying patients compared with those working in surgical clinics. Those who reported having a strong faith had lower death anxiety.Öğe Is COVID-19 loss more associated with prolonged grief disorder than other losses?(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Inci, Figen; Varol, Belgin; Kamisli, Songul; Terzioglu, Candan; Bagcaz, Arda; Kilic, CengizThe COVID-19 pandemic raised fears about a rise in prolonged grief rates. To determine if these fears are justified, we examined an online sample of 329 Turkish adults for their level of prolonged grief symptoms (as well as probable Prolonged Grief Disorder-PGD) and associated factors in relation to losses during the pandemic. Respondents completed measures of prolonged grief, post-traumatic stress disorder, and depression. Overall, 10% of participants reported symptoms indicating a probable PGD diagnosis. Surprisingly, loss due to COVID-19 or disruption of the natural mourning process did not relate to higher levels of prolonged grief. Our findings suggest that although levels of prolonged grief (and rates of PGD) may have increased during the pandemic, prolonged grief (or PGD) during this time is likely not linked to losses due to COVID-19 or to disruptions in the normal grieving process.Öğe Pain and Anxiety in Cataract Surgery: Comparison Between the First and Second Eye Surgeries(Galenos Publ House, 2021) Akoglu, Caner Ali; Celik, Gulden Kucukakca; Inci, FigenObjective: This study aimed to determine and compare the pain and anxiety levels in the perioperative period of patients undergoing cataract surgery on both eyes. Materials and Methods: The study used a descriptive design to assess 60 patients who had undergone cataract surgery on both eyes. The visual analog scale (VAS) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory were used to evaluate the subjective parameters of patients in the surgical process. Objective measurements in the perioperative process were recorded in the physiological parameters form. Results: The state anxiety levels of patients in the preoperative period of the first eye surgery were found to be higher compared with that of the second eye surgery (p=0.003). In addition, patients were determined to have more severe anxiety in the preoperative period of the first eye surgery (VAS: 4.510) and before (VAS: 4.483) and during the perioperative period (VAS: 4.150) of the second eye surgery. Patients had a higher pain score and a higher state of anxiety after clinic admission in the postoperative period of the second eye surgery compared with that of the first eye surgery (p<0.05). The diastolic blood pressure value before the operation and the pulse and respiratory rate during the operation were higher in the first eye surgery than in the second eye surgery (p=0.038; p=0.000; p=0.000, respectively). Conclusion: The results of the subjective and objective measurements revealed that the anxiety experienced in the first cataract surgery made the perceived anxiety and sensation of pain more sensitive in the second eye surgery.Öğe Psychiatric symptoms observed in the first class students of health school(2010) Beşer, Nalân Gördeles; Inci, FigenPurpose: This research was made in the purpose of determining the psychiatric symptoms of Ni?de University Zübeyde Hanim Health School, Nursing and Midwife Departments. Method: The study consists of the 1. class students of Ni?de University Zübeyde Hanim Health School, Nursing and Midwife Departments (n:99). Besides, sample was not selected; instead, all the 1. class students who accepted to join the research were included (n:87). For collection of data, an inquiry form created by the researchers and "Symptom Scanning List" (SCL-90-R), whose acceptability-reliability study was made by Da? (1991) was used. For the determining of data, t test, Kruskall Wallis and Mann Whitney U test were used. Findings: Main symptom average (1.03±0.47) of SCL-90-R shows that the students have psychological problems. For example; somatization, anxiety, anger, phobic anxiety, paranoid thoughts and pychotism, medium level trouble at the sub-dimensions (between 0.5-1 points), obsessive compulsive symptoms, interpersonal sensibility and psychological problems at depression sub-dimensions (more than 1.0) were seen. Besides, Tokology students had more psychological symptoms at subdimensions in comparison with nursing students (p<0.05). Gender of the students, places where they lived longest, their socioeconomic levels and the places where they live at time didn't make difference in terms of psychiatric symptoms (p>0.05). Discussion: It is possible to say students living problem about mental status. This result could be explained with knowledge in literature. At the first years of school, university students have difficulties, because of the hardships that life brings about in a new environment and being away from their parents. At the same time, also the probation practices beside the theoretic courses take place in Health High Schools and the unbearable issues at the practice area may put students under higher pressure. Conclusion: Research symptoms show that the students of Health High School are a risk group in terms of psychological trouble. Therefore, it is important to determine the problems resulted from training environment within a short term and to interfere with these problems before they get deeper. Consequently, it is advised to support the student with orientation programs at the early years of training, and with advisory programs at advanced classes.Öğe Psychometric Properties of a Turkish Version of The Psychosocial Needs Inventory; Sampling from Oncology Patients(Elsevier Science Inc, 2024) Guner, Perihan; Yildirim, Nazmiye Kocaman; Inci, Figen; Sanci, Kadriye; Semerci, RemziyeObjectives: This study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the Psychosocial Needs Inventory (PNI) among Turkish oncology patients. Methods: A methodological study was conducted with 1,547 oncology patients. This validation study was divided into two phases. Phase 1 included translation of the PNI according to World Health Organization recommendations, investigation of content validity by experts, and a pilot study involving 136 participants. Phase 2 included a validity and reliability analysis of the PNI. Data analysis comprised exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory factor analyses (CFA), Cronbach's alpha, test-retest reliability, Hotelling's T2 test and item-total score correlation, and the Content Validity Index (CVI). Results: For the phase 1, the CVI for items and scale were >.75 and .883, respectively. Cronbach's alpha values of the subdimensions ranged between 0.84 and 0.94. The test-retest analyses of the subdimensions showed correlation coefficients based on the pilot test (p < .001). For the phase 2, based on the fit indices in confirmatory factor analysis, the structures of the dimensions Importance and Satisfaction were acceptable. Cronbach's alpha values of the subdimensions ranged between 0.84 to 0.94 in the Importance dimension and 0.86 to 0.94 in the Satisfaction dimension. As a result of EFA, the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin, Bartlett's test (p < 0.001) and PNI Importance explained at 68.46% and PNI Satisfaction at 70.15% of the total variance by the six-factor structure. CFA showed that the indices and validity, including content validity, convergent validity were satisfactory. Conclusion: The PNI, which was found to be a valid and reliable measurement tool, can be used to determine the psychosocial needs of cancer patients. Implications for Nursing Practice: Health professionals need to use the PNI to measure their importance to cancer patients' psychosocial needs and assess their satisfaction with meeting them to improve holistic care and support.

Other aims to evaluate barriers to meeting patients' psychosocial needs and measure nurses' difficulty level of psychosocial assessment and intervention practices. Methods: This multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted with 1189 nurses providing direct care to adult cancer patients in 32 hospitals in 12 geographical regions of T & uuml;rkiye. The data were collected by a survey prepared in accordance with the aims of the study. Results: Three-quarters of the participants reported that their hospital has psychosocial support services while 67.7% stated that this service was provided by psychiatry consultation. Nearly half (49%) stated that all healthcare professionals are responsible for meeting patients' psychosocial needs, especially it is an integral part of their nursing duties. However, organizational conditions (48.2%-30.7%) are the most important barriers to meeting the psychosocial needs of the patients. Participants have difficulty mostly in assessing and intervening in psychosocial needs of patients mostly in sexual problems and rejection of treatment, and least in patients' reactions to illness. Also, the participants have more difficulty in assessing seven of the 19 psychosocial dimensions and intervening in five ( P< .05). Conclusion: This study may be contributed to better structuring of psychosocial services in T & uuml;rkiye. It can also guide the planning of psychosocial care training. Institutional barriers need to be overcome, especially the nurse-patient ratio, and the psychosocial care capacity of nurses should be improved.Öğe Risk factors associated with post-traumatic stress symptoms following childbirth in Turkey(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2016) Isbir, Gozde Gokce; Inci, Figen; Bektas, Murat; Yildiz, Pelin Dikmen; Ayers, SusanObjective: this study examined factors associated with symptoms of post-traumatic stress (PTS) following childbirth in women with normal, low-risk pregnancies in Nigde, Turkey. Design: a prospective longitudinal design where women completed questionnaire measures at 20+ weeks' gestation and 6-8 weeks after birth. Setting: eligible pregnant women were recruited from nine family healthcare centres in Nigde between September 2013 and July 2014. Participants: a total of 242 women completed questionnaires at both time points. Measures: PTS symptoms were measured using the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) 6-8 weeks after birth. Potential protective or risk factors of childbirth self-efficacy, fear of childbirth, adaptation to pregnancy/motherhood, and perceived social support were measured in pregnancy and after birth. Perceived support and control during birth was measured after birth. Demographic and obstetric information was collected in pregnancy using standard self-report questions. Findings: PTS symptoms were associated with being multiparous, having a planned pregnancy, poor psychological adaptation to pregnancy, higher outcome expectancy but lower efficacy expectancy during pregnancy, urinary catheterization during labour, less support and perceived control in birth, less satisfaction with hospital care, poor psychological adaptation to motherhood and increased fear of birth post partum. Regression analyses showed the strongest correlates of PTS symptoms were high outcome and low efficacy expectancies in pregnancy, urinary catheterization in labour, poor psychological adaptation to motherhood and increased fear of birth post partum. This model accounted for 29% of the variance in PTS symptoms. Conclusions: this study suggests women in this province in Turkey report PTS symptoms after birth and this is associated with childbirth self-efficacy in pregnancy, birth factors, and poor adaptation to motherhood and increased fear of birth post partum. Implications for practice: maternity care services in Turkey need to recognise the potential impact of birth experiences on women's mental health and adaptation after birth. The importance of self-efficacy in pregnancy suggests antenatal education or support may protect women against developing post partum PTS, but this needs to be examined further.

The sample consisted of 123 patient caregivers, all of whom were relatives. Data were collected using a survey, the Burden Interview, and the Caregiver Quality of Life Index Cancer Scale. Data evaluation was done using correlation analysis, Kruskall Wallis, and Mann-Whitney U tests. Factors that were significantly associated with quality of life and care burden perception included caring for an older patient, patient dependence for daily activities, and having low economic status.Öğe The death anxiety and resilience levels of nursing students and relevance between these levels(Istanbul Universitesi, 2012) Öz, Fatma; Inci, Figen; Bahadir-Yilmaz, EmelThe Death Anxiety and Resilience Levels of Nursing Students and Relevance Between These Levels Objective: The research is carried out as descriptive with the aim of examining relevance between death anxiety and resilience levels of nursing students who experince giving care to patient at dying in clinical practices. Method: The research population was composed by students of Nursing Department of Health Sciences Faculty, Hacettepe University, research sample was composed by 1st and 4th years students (n:181). Data was collected by questionairre form, Thorson-Powel Death Anxiety Scale and Resilience Scale and assessed by implementing t-Test, Two Way Correlation Analysis, Kruskal Wallis Test. Findings: Being higher resilience levels of 4th years students than 1st students in statistical significance (p<0.05), no significant relevance between death anxiety and resilience (p>0.05), but higher death anxiety of students having death experience than ones having not experience (p<0.05) were determined. Discussion and Conclusion: In line with literature, the resilience levels of students who are in first year of university is low. But the death anxiety levels of students having death experience are high on the contrary studies had been maked. Implementing of programs facilitating students to give effective care to patient at dying, decreasing students' death anxiety and improving their resilience levels were suggested.Öğe The effects of antenatal education on fear of childbirth, maternal self-efficacy and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms following childbirth: an experimental study(W B SAUNDERS CO-ELSEVIER INC, 2016) Isbir, Gozde Gokce; Inci, Figen; Onal, Hatice; Yildiz, Pelin DikmenBackground: Fear of birth and low childbirth self-efficacy is predictive of post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms following childbirth. The efficacy of antenatal education classes on fear of birth and childbirth self-efficacy has been supported; however, the effectiveness of antenatal classes on post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms after childbirth has received relatively little research attention. Purpose: This study examined the effects of antenatal education on fear of childbirth, maternal self-efficacy and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms following childbirth. Design: Quasi-experimental study. Methods: The study was conducted in a city located in the Middle Anatolia region of Turkey and data were collected between December 2013 and May 2015. Two groups of women were compared an antenatal education intervention group (n = 44), and a routine prenatal care control group (n = 46). The Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire, Version A and B, Childbirth Self-efficacy Inventory and Impact of Event Scale-Revised was used to assess fear of childbirth, maternal self-efficacy and PTSD symptoms following childbirth. Results: Compared to the control group, women who attended antenatal education had greater childbirth self efficacy, greater perceived support and control in birth, and less fear of birth and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms following childbirth (all comparisons, p < 0.05). Conclusions: Antenatal education appears to alleviate post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms after childbirth.

The aim of this study was to determine the psychosocial care skill levels of nurses and affecting factors. This multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted with 1,189 nurses providing direct care to adult cancer patients in 32 hospitals in 12 geographical regions of Turkey. A questionnaire, the Psychosocial Skills Form, and the Professional Quality of Life Scale were used to collect the data. Nurses' psychosocial skill level was in the range of 2.72 +/- 0.98 and 2.47 +/- 0.89 out of four points. Communication skills such as empathic response, active listening, and the ability to provide information were found to be at a higher level than skills such as the activation of social support systems, therapeutic touch, and development of coping methods. Approximately 40% of nurses had received psychosocial care training, and 87% were interested in receiving additional psychosocial training. Gender, educational status, previous training in psychosocial care, and work experience with cancer patients were shown to affect psychosocial skill levels. There was a positive relationship between the level of psychosocial skills and the level of compassion satisfaction, and a negative relationship between the level of psychosocial skills and the level of burnout and compassion fatigue (p < 0.05). Nurses perceive themselves as having a medium to high level of psychosocial skills yet desire additional training. The results of this study may contribute to the development of training programs according to the needs of nurses who care for cancer patients.Öğe The Turkish version of perceived support and control in birth scale(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2015) Inci, Figen; Isbir, Gozde Gokce; Tanhan, FuatObjective: This is a methodological study carried out to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Support and Control in Birth Scale (SCIB). Methods: This study included 339 post-partum women. The validity of the Turkish version of the scale was assessed in terms of content and construct validity. Reliability was evaluated using the internal consistency coefficient, the test-retest correlation coefficient and the item correlation between the subscales. Results: The internal consistency coefficient of the scale was 0.84 (p<0.01). There were significant correlations between sub-scales (rho = 0.122, 0.129, 0.263, p<0.05), and the test-retest correlation coefficient of the scale was also significant (rho = 0.86, alpha = 0.000). As in the original scale, a three-factor structure was examined, which explained 42.85% of the total variance. The model was verified by a confirmatory factor analysis. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the SCIB is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring the perceived support and control during birth among Turkish women.
