Öğe Development and psychometric evaluation of the paternal support scale of breastfeeding(Elsevier Science Inc, 2024) Sezer, Hilal Kurt; Ceran, Merve Askin; Demirsoz, Mert; Kucukoglu, SibelBackground: Social support positively affects the adaptation process of the woman to the maternal role during pregnancy and the postpartum period and increases her sensitivity to her baby. It is known that the support pro-vided by fathers to their wives during this process positively affects their decision to breastfeed and continue. Purpose: The aim of this study is to contribute to the literature by the Paternal Support Scale of Breastfeeding, testing its validity, reliability and psychometric properties. Methods: The study, which included 203 fathers with babies 0-6 months of age who were actively breastfed be-tween January and June 2022, was completed in a Medical Faculty Hospital at Konya in Turkey. The psychometric properties of the scale were evaluated with exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. In addi-tion, number/percentage, t-test for dependent and independent groups and correlation analysis were used in the evaluation of the data. Results: Total item correlation coefficient of this scale was found to vary between 0.63 and 0.81. According to the confirmatory factor analysis results the goodness-of-fit index values of the scale indicated that the model has an acceptable fitness, and the 21-item one-dimensional scale has confirmed validity. Conclusion: Our findings showed that this scale is a good reliable measurement tool that can be used to evaluate levels of paternal support in breastfeeding. The scale can be adapted to different cultures, and cross-cultural comparisons can be planned in future studies. Practice implications. Spouse and family support increases breastfeeding success. Due to their active role in the decisions made within the family, fathers positively influence mothers' breastfeeding decisions and increase mothers' motivation to continue breastfeeding. This measurement tool, developed to measure partner support in breastfeeding, helps nurses, to determine fathers' support levels in breastfeeding. In this way, nurses can contribute to increasing the duration of breastfeeding by making effective interventions for the solution of partner support problems related to breastfeeding.

Methods: The study used a single-blind, parallel-group randomised controlled experimental design. It was carried out in the neonatal intensive care unit of a hospital in Nigde/Turkey between February 2022 and January 2023. A total of 45 preterm infants, who met the study criteria and whose sample size was determined according to power analysis, were randomly divided into three groups. As an intervention, the facilitated tucking position was applied to the first group, and Reiki was applied to the second group during OGT insertion. Routine application continued in the control group. The Infant Introductory Information Form, Physiological Parameter Follow-up Chart, Infant Stress Scale (ISS) and Premature Infant Pain Profile Scale-Revised (PIPP-R) were used for data collection. Significance was accepted as P < 0.05 in the statistical analysis. Results: It was determined that the infants were homogeneously distributed between the experimental and control groups (P > 0.05). Infants who received the facilitated tucking position and Reiki intervention had better physiological stability compared to the control group (P < 0.05). The group with the lowest average stress (1.53 +/- 0.99) and pain scores (4.06 +/- 1.22) during OGT insertion was the facilitated tucking group (P < 0.001). After the procedure, stress and pain scores in both the facilitated tucking group and the Reiki group were found to be significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The results of the study showed that the facilitated tucking position during OGT insertion was especially effective in reducing the pain and stress of infants. Both the facilitated tucking position and Reiki were determined to be effective interventions in reducing the pain and stress of infants more quickly after the procedure. The results of study contribute to the recommendation that NICU nurses should include non-pharmacological methods to decrease the pain of preterm infants during procedural pain.Öğe Evaluation of the effectiveness of a health literacy education program during the pandemic(Marmara Univ, Fac Medicine, 2022) Kurt Sezer, Hilal; Yorulmaz, Deniz Sumeyye; Kucukoglu, SibelObjectives: This study investigated the effectiveness of a health literacy education program on first and emergency aid students during the pandemic. Materials and Methods: This study adopted a single group pre-test-post-test quasi-experimental design. The study population consisted of 135 students of the First and Emergency Aid Program of a private university in Konya, Turkey No sampling was performed because we could reach the entire study population. Therefore, the sample consisted of 114 students. Participants attended a health literacy education program (intervention). Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a personal information form and the Health Literacy Scale (HLS). Number, percentage, and Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze the data. The study adhered to all ethical principles. Results: Participants had a significantly higher mean post-test HLS score (117 +/- 5.03) than the pre-test score (105 +/- 11.50) (p <0.05). Participants with a high income had a significantly higher mean post-test HLS score than those with a low income (p <0.05). Participants covered by insurance had a significantly higher mean post-test HLS score than those who were not (p <0.05). Participants who did regular exercise had a significantly higher mean post-test HLS score than those who did not (p <0.05). Participants who knew about health literacy before the intervention had a significantly higher mean post-test HLS score than those who did not (p <0.05). Conclusion: The education program helped participants learn more about health literacy. Therefore, universities should integrate it into their curricula.Öğe The development of The Epileptic Seizure Parental Burden Scale: A validity and reliability study(Elsevier Science Inc, 2023) Yorulmaz, Deniz Sumeyye; Sezer, Hilal Kurt; Kucukoglu, SibelObjective: It is common for parents to shoulder the burden of care for their children with chronic diseases. However, there are no robust scales to measure the burden of care of parents of children with epilepsy. This study aimed to develop the Epileptic Seizure Parental Burden Scale (ESPBS) and evaluate its psychometric properties.Materials and methods: This was a methodological study. The sample consisted of 333 voluntary parents of children with epilepsy. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS v. 25) at a significance level of p < .05. Content validity, item-total correlation, explanatory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), the upper- and lower-27 percent rule, Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and the split-half reliability method were used for psychometric analysis.Results: The scale consisted of 15 items and two subscales. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) was 0. 961, for which Bartlett's test of sphericity was significant (X-2 = 5079.527, p < .001), indicating sampling adequacy and correlation between the items for factor analysis. The scale had item-total item correlations of 0.311 to 0.741. The Explanatory Factor Analysis (EFA) revealed a two-factor structure. According to the confirmatory factor analysis, x2/df, GFI, AGFI, CFI, and RMSEA were 2.012, 0.93, 0.91, 0.97, and 0.055, respectively. These values were very close to a good fit. The items had factor loadings of 0.508 to 0.890. The total scale explained 60.432% of the total variance. The scale had a Cronbach's alpha of 0.93. The split-half reliability indicated a significant (p < .001) and high (r = 0.890) correlation.Conclusion: The Epileptic Seizure Parental Burden Scale (ESPBS) has high psychometric properties. It is a valid and reliable instrument that can measure the epileptic seizure burden of parents of children with epilepsy.(c) 2022 Elsevier Inc.

Purpose: The study investigated whether the education program affected adolescents' attitudes toward epilepsy, seizure self-efficacy, quality of life, and their parents' perceived nurse-support levels. Methods: The study is a single-blind, randomized, controlled trial. The study was conducted in the pediatric neurology outpatient clinic of a medical hospital between January 2021 and April 2022 in Konya. The sample consisted of adolescents with epilepsy (n = 36) and their parents (n = 36). The intervention group attended the education program in three main sessions, two weeks apart. The control group received routine education. Data were collected using a Child Demographics Form (CDF), a Parent Demographics Form (PDF), the Child Attitude Toward Illness Scale (CATIS), the Self-Efficacy Scale for Children with Epilepsy (SSES-C), the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL), and the Nurse Parents Support Tool (NPST). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's chi-square test, Fisher's Exact test, independent samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Mixed design ANOVA analysis, Cohen's d, and 95 % confidence interval. This study adhered to CONSORT research guidelines. Results: The intervention group adolescents had a significantly higher mean of all scale scores than the control group adolescents. The intervention group parents had a significantly higher mean NPST score than the control group parents. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals should organize theory-based online education programs for adolescents and their parents at regular intervals for the self-management of epilepsy in special situations, such as pandemics, where face-to-face education is impossible. Practice implications: The study revealed that, unlike existing cues that highlight the effectiveness of face-to-face education, online interventions will strengthen epilepsy self-management of children with epilepsy and their parents. In extreme situations where face-to-face education has to be postponed for a long time and in routine education interventions, it is recommended to plan and implement online education so that children with chronic diseases can maintain their self-management.

Method: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted between November 2021 and June 2022. The sample consisted of 218 parents of children aged 3-18 living in XX. The sample was divided into two: 110 parents of children with autism and 108 parents of healthy children. Results: Parents of children with autism had a mean age of 36.15 +/- 6.142, while parents of healthy children had a mean age of 36.65 +/- 7.057. More than half of the parents of children with autism stated that they worried about their children's future and had difficulty taking care of other children of theirs, making time for themselves, and maintaining daily life. On the other hand, only a quarter of the parents of healthy children stated that they worried about their children's future and had difficulty taking care of other children of theirs, making time for themselves, and maintaining daily life. Parents of children with autism had a significantly higher mean anxiety, depression and hostility subscale score than parents of healthy children (p<0.05).Conclusions: Parents of children with autism experience more difficulties and present with more symptoms of anxiety, depression, and hostility than parents of healthy children. Parents of children with special needs need to be psychologically reassured and supported.Öğe Validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the paternal breastfeeding self-efficacy scale- Short form for fathers(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Kucukoglu, Sibel; Sezer, Hilal Kurt; Dennis, Cindy-LeeBackground: Women supported by their partners are more likely to initiate and maintain breastfeeding and overcome related challenges. Therefore, reliable measurement tools are needed to determine whether fathers can provide this support.Aim: This study aimed to (1) examine the psychometric properties of the Paternal Breastfeeding Self -Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF) in Turkish fathers, including internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, construct validity using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA); and (2) assess the relationship between the BSES-SF and paternal demographic factors.Methods: A methodologically study was conducted between December 26-2018 and June 26-2019 at the pediatrics clinics of two research hospitals of medical schools in Konya, Turkey. The sample consisted of 221 fathers of infants aged 2 to 6 weeks who visited the clinics for routine examinations. Data were collected using a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Turkish version of the Paternal BSES-SF. Af-ter evaluating the language equivalence and content validity of the scale, test-retest reliability, internal consistency and construct validity were examined. In evaluation of the data frequency/percentage, mean, standard deviation, independent groups t test, ANOVA Analysis, Bartlett's Test of Sphericity, Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Pearson Product-Moment correlation and Cronbach alpha analysis were used. The study was approved by Interventional Clinical Research Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Health Sciences of Selcuk University in Turkey.Results: The translated Paternal BSES-SF had a Cronbach's alpha of 0.93 and a test-retest reliability co-efficient of 0.96. The factor loadings ranged from 0.42 to 0.76. The Paternal BSES-SF had a one-factor structure similar to the original scale. Fathers who were unemployed, had lower economic status, and unplanned pregnancy had significantly lower mean Paternal BSES-SF scores. Paternal education regarding breastfeeding increased mean Paternal BSES-SF retest scores (p < 0.05).Conclusions: The Paternal BSES-SF was a valid and reliable measure to assess fathers' confidence in their ability to assist mothers with breastfeeding in Turkey. Turkish researchers and health workers can use this instrument as a reference for promoting exclusive breastfeeding.(c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
