This research was conducted descriptively and relationally to determine the effect of dialysis symptoms on exercise perception in hemodialysis patients. Methods: The study was conducted with 120 hemodialysis patients, who have been treated at the Organ Transplantation and Dialysis Hospital of a university, met the inclusion criteria, and agreed to participate in the study. Questionnaire form, Dialysis Symptom Index, and Dialysis Patient-Perceived Exercise Benefits and Barriers Scale were used to collect data. Results: In the study, the mean Dialysis Symptom Index score of hemodialysis patients was 77 +/- 23.5, and the most common symptom was fatigue. The mean Dialysis Patient-Perceived Exercise Benefits and Barriers Scale score of the patients was 61.8 +/- 14, and the most stated that the perception of exercise benefit was improving appetite and perception of exercise barrier was fatigue. In the study, there was a moderately significant positive correlation between Dialysis Symptom Index and Dialysis Patient-Perceived Exercise Benefits and Barriers Scale (P =.01). Moreover, 21.3% of the patients' Dialysis Patient-Perceived Exercise Benefits and Barriers Scale scores are explained by Dialysis Symptom Index. Conclusion: It was found that the dialysis-related symptoms of the hemodialysis patients included in the study were frequent and the effects were intense. Most of them did not exercise regularly, and their positive perception of exercise was moderate.Öğe Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on health-promoting lifestyle behaviors: A cross-sectional study(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2023) Tekin, Cigdem Samanci; Kilic, ZuleyhaObjective: To explore health-improving behaviors during COVID-19 pandemic and to reveal the impact of the risk perception of COVID-19 on these behaviors.Methods: We recruited a total of 510 participants for this crosssectional study. The data were collected online using a questionnaire booklet covering a form inquiring about the participants' demographic, physical, and mental characteristics, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 Scale, and the COVID-19 Perceived Risk Scale.Results: The mean age of the participants was (28.7 +/- 10.1) years, and 76.1% were females. Of the participants, 31.8% were overweight and obese. While 35.1% experienced negative alterations in their dietary patterns, 23.9% reported positive changes to their diet during the pandemic. Besides, 47.8% reported their sleep to be negatively affected during the pandemic. While the rate of those with extended screen time was 72.5%, it was 44.3% for the participants engaging in regular exercise. More than one-third of the participants (35.9%) had high and severe anxiety. We also found increased risk perception of COVID-19 among females, obese, those with disturbed eating and sleep quality, healthcare workers, and those with severe anxiety. Conclusions: Overall, the pandemic has appeared to have brought both positive and negative impacts on maintaining and improving eating, sleep, physical activity, and mental health.Öğe Relationship Between Nurses' Compassion Level and Emotional Intelligence During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Case of City Hospitals(Sage Publications Inc, 2023) Kilic, Zuleyha; Aydinli, Ayse; Gunaydin, Yurdagul; Aydin, Tulay Aytekin; Gunaydin, UmitPurpose: The purpose of this descriptive study is to determine the relationship between nurses' compassion level and emotional intelligence during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used to collect data from a sample of 218 nurses who volunteered to participate. Data were collected using the descriptive information form, the compassion scale (CS), and the revised Schutte emotional intelligence scale (RSEIS). Findings: The nurses' total CS score was 97.51 +/- 1, and their total RSEIS score was 152.1 +/- 14.8. In our study, a moderate, positive, and significant relationship was found between nurses' compassion level and emotional intelligence levels. Conclusions: It was determined that nurses within the scope of the study had a high level of compassion and a medium-high level of emotional intelligence during the C OVID-19 pandemic process. Initiatives should be planned to develop emotional intelligence, which helps to minimize the negative effects of the pandemic on nurses and prevent negative emotions.Öğe The effect of cognitive flexibility in nurses on attitudes to professional autonomy(Sage Publications Ltd, 2024) Kilic, Zuleyha; Uzdil, Nurcan; Gunaydin, YurdagulBackground: Professional autonomy, which directly affects the quality of professional nursing in patient care, and cognitive flexibility, which is an important factor for adaptation to change and developing nursing roles, are important concepts for nursing. Research objectives: This research was carried out to determine the effect of cognitive flexibility on attitudes towards professional autonomy in nurses. Research design: This was a descriptive study. Participants and research context: The research was conducted with 415 nurses working in a city hospital of a province, meeting the inclusion criteria and agreeing to participate in the study. A questionnaire form, The Cognitive Flexibility Inventory (CFI), and the Attitude Toward Professional Autonomy Scale for Nurses (APASN) were used to collect data. Ethical considerations Ethical approval was obtained from the university ethics committee before starting the study. Institutional permission was obtained from the city hospital where the study was conducted. Electronic informed consent was obtained from the nurses included in the study. Findings: In the study, the mean CFI score was 80.62 +/- 11.55 and the mean APASN score was 70.42 +/- 18.79. There was a weak positive correlation (r = 0.270; p < 0.05) between CFI and APASN scores. Moreover, the effect of the CFI mean score on the APASN mean score was found to be statistically significant (beta = 0.278; p < 0.001). Furthermore, CFI explains 7.7% of APASN. Conclusion: In the study, nurses' attitudes towards professional autonomy and cognitive flexibility scores were found to be at a good level. Cognitive flexibility has a positive effect on attitudes towards professional autonomy. Interventional studies that will increase the level of cognitive flexibility are recommended in the development of nurses' attitudes towards professional autonomy.Öğe The Effect of Dyspnea and Fatigue on Sexual Life and Marital Satisfaction in Individuals With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(Springer, 2022) Gunaydin, Yurdagul; Kilic, Zuleyha; Zincir, Handan; Tutar, NuriThe present study determines the effects of dyspnea and fatigue on the sex life and marital adjustment of patients with COPD. The study sample of this descriptive research included individuals hospitalized in the Pulmonary Diseases Clinic of a university hospital in Turkey who voluntarily accepted to participate in the study. The data for the research were collected using a question form, the Modified British Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (mMRC), the Arizona Sexual Experience Scale-Female Form, the Arizona Sexual Experience Scale-Male Form, the Marriage Adjustment Test, the COPD and Asthma Fatigue Scale, and the COPD Assessment Test (CAT). The data, in the form of numbers, percentages means and standard deviations, were assessed with Mann-Whitney U-tests, Kruskal-Wallis tests, One Way Analyses of Variance and t tests. Of the participants with COPD, 83.3% reported that the disease affected their sex life; 83.6% reported that they had not consulted a physician about sexual problems due to believed the disease ends sexual desire, as one of the obstacles preventing help being sought in this matter; 95.8% reported using no methods other than medical ones to resolve their sexual problems; 90.3% reported encountering problems during sexual intercourse; and 58.3% stated that the symptom with the greatest effect on their sex life was dyspnea. COPD was reported to affect marital adjustment in 54.2, and 55.8% reported that the disease had led to the development of good relations between the partners, and thus better adjustment. It was found in the present study that dyspnea had a negative effect on the patients' sex life, but no effect on the marital adjustment of individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease; while fatigue negatively affected the patients' sex life, but positively affected marital adjustment.Öğe The Effect of Progressive Relaxation Exercises on Dyspnea and Anxiety Levels in Individuals With COPD A Randomized Controlled Trial(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2023) Kilic, Zuleyha; Karadag, Songul; Tutar, NuriDyspnea is a common symptom and anxiety is a common comorbidity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). They affect individuals with COPD in a multifaceted way, causing many disabilities. Progressive relaxation exercises (PREs) are an important intervention in reducing symptoms and comorbidity. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of PREs on dyspnea and anxiety levels in individuals with COPD. A pretest-posttest randomized controlled trial was conducted at the chest diseases clinic of a university hospital in Turkey. Forty-four patients with COPD who met the inclusion criteria for participation in the study were assigned either to an intervention or a control group, with 22 patients in each group. In the intervention group, the patients performed PREs once a day for 4 weeks in addition to the standard treatment. The patients in the control group received the standard treatment. In the data collection stage of the study, questionnaire forms, namely, the Modified Borg Scale (MBS), Modified British Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale, COPD Assessment Test (CAT), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), were used. Data were collected before (the first follow-up) and after the intervention (the second follow-up). In the second follow-up, the MBS, BAI, and CAT scores decreased significantly in the intervention group (P < .05) but showed no significant changes in the control group (P > .05). This study demonstrates that PREs can reduce dyspnea and anxiety levels in individuals with COPD.
