    Serin, Emine Kaplan; Dal, Nursel Alp; İkde Öner, Özlem

    The objective of this study is to explore the midwifery and nursing students’ attitudes towards evidence-based nursing. The sample of this descriptive and cross-sectional study included 626 undergraduate students studying midwifery/nursing at a state university in the Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey. The data were collected using the “Descriptive Form for Students” and the “Evidence-Based Nursing Attitude Questionnaire (EBNAQ).” The mean total score of the students in EBNAQ was 55.46±9.92, their mean score in the subscale “Beliefs and Expectations About Evidence-Based Nursing” was 27.24±5.87, their mean score in the subscale “Evidence-Based Practice Intention” was 13.83±3.00, and their mean score in the subscale “Sentiments on Evidence-Based Nursing” was 14.38±4.01. A significant relationship was determined between gender, academic year of study, liking the profession, doing research, duration of internet usage and duration of medical information acquisition and the mean total scores in EBNAQ (p<0.05). The results demonstrated that the students had highly positive attitudes toward evidence-based practices. Determination of the attitudes of students regarding evidence-based practices will help development of strategies towards increasing evidence-based midwifery and nursing practices through education.

    The Communication Skills and Empathic Tendencies of Nursing and Midwifery Students to Reproductive Pattern Section of the Care Plan

    Kaplan Serin, Emine; Alp Dal, Nursel; İkde Öner, Özlem

    The objective of this study is to determine the communication skills and empathic tendencies of nursing and midwifery students to sexuality/reproductive pattern section of the care plan. The sample of this descriptive cross-sectional study consists of 665 students studying in the midwifery and nursing department of a state university in Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey and agreeing to participate in the study as volunteers. Data of the study were collected using “Descriptive Characteristics Form for Students”, “Communication Skills Assessment Scale (CSAS)” and “Emphatic Tendency Scale”. Obtained data were assessed by using number, percent, mean and standard deviation as well as Mann–Whitney U Test, Kruskal–Wallis Test, t test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation test. The average age of students participating in the study was 20.81 ± 1.80 years, and 53.8% of them expressed that the society they lived in had a restrictive perspective on the concept of sexuality. A great majority of students think that cultural structure and religious beliefs are significant factors in the formation of sexual taboos. The study found out that 64% of the students could not ask the questions in the reproductive pattern section of the care plan, most of them did not want to be asked it themselves, and 70.5% of them were uncomfortable with asking these questions due to privacy. Approximately fifty-six percent (56.1%) of students thought that the concept of sexuality did not fall within a nurse’s responsibilities. Approximately fifty-six percent (56.1%) of them did not want to focus on the subject more during courses. Average total score of students on CSAS was 98.74 ± 13.05, average total score on the emphatic tendency scale was 67.31 ± 7.98 and a positive correlation was found between both scores. In this study, it was detected that students left the sexuality/reproductive pattern section in the care plan empty, therefore they did not/could not handle a patient’s potential problems related to sexuality/reproductive pattern.
