Introduction: Technological developments have increased the usage of mobile equipment. Using a smartphone became a part of life and accentuated its usage day after day especially in adolescent groups. Aim: The study was aimed to examine the relationship between sleep quality and smartphone addiction of adolescents. Method: This cross-sectional study was carried out with 1192 high school students between March and June 2019. Data were collected with the Personal Information Form, Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index, Smartphone Addiction Scale. The data were evaluated through percentile distributions, means, independent samples t-test, Kruskal-Wallis test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation analyses. Results: The mean age of adolescents was determined to be 15.79 ± 0.96, with the mean total score of the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index was 6.05 ± 3.04 and the Smartphone Addiction Scale was 36.01 ± 10.82. Statistically significant differences were observed among adolescents concerning gender, grade, daily smartphone usage duration, internet accessibility, and the use of smartphones before bedtime, impacting both sleep quality and smartphone addiction (p < 0.05). A positive and meaningful correlation was found between sleep quality and smartphone addiction in adolescents (p < 0.05). Conclusion: As the smartphone addiction increases, sleep quality decreases. Adequate sleep is crucial during the growth spurt period. It is evaluated that early diagnosis and prevention of smartphone addiction in adolescents could make a significant contribution to the protection and promotion of adolescent health.

The study was conducted to reveal the cultural practices used in neonatal care as well as revealing the intergenerational transmission of these practices. This comparative and descriptive study was conducted between December 2015 and June 2016. The study sample consisted of 210 mothers, including 130 grandmothers and 80 mothers. Data was collected by the researchers with the face-to-face interviews with the mothers and analyzed by percentile and frequency. It was observed that 77.0% of the grandmothers cover the baby's face with yellow cloth for treating jaundice, 86.2% of them use olive oil for the infantile seborrhoeic dermatitis, 57.8% use breast's milk for thrush, 50.8% use powder to treat diaper rash, and 36.5% use fine-textured soil (höllük) for the treatment of diaper rash. 70.4% of the mothers were covering the baby's face with yellow cloth for treating jaundice, 77.8% were using olive oil for the dandruff (infantile seborrhoeic dermatitis) treatment, 37.8% were using breast's milk for thrush, and 57.7% were using medical cream for the treatment of diaper rash. According to the results of the study, even though the use of non-rational cultural health practices in neonatal care decreases, it is observed that their importance still remains.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of therapeutic clowning on handwashing technique and microbial colonization in preschool children. Design: This randomized controlled trial was conducted using pre-test and post-test experimental and control groups. Methods: The study was conducted between March and June 2016 in two kindergartens in eastern Turkey. The study was completed with a total of 195 students, including 90 students in the experimental group and 105 students in the control group. A questionnaire was used for data collection. This questionnaire included sections about the subjects’ descriptive characteristics and the results of the bacterial cultures of their hand swabs. For the collection of these swabs, the subjects were informed in advance, and samples were collected at predetermined times. The swabs were analyzed to determine the bacterial colonization of the subjects’ hands. Clowns and video activities were used as intervention tools in the study. Findings: In the post-test, the microbial growth was ≤103 in 68.9% and >103 in 31.1% of the subjects in the experimental group. In contrast, the growth was ≤103 in 34.3% and >103 in 65.7% of the control group subjects. The difference in the post-test microbial growths of the two groups was statistically significant (p <.000). Conclusions: The hygienic handwashing technique taught in the therapeutic clowning and videos reduced the bacterial colonization on the preschool children's hands by 50%. Moreover, this method was effective in reducing the growth rate of coliform bacteria that indicate undesirable, poor hygiene of the hands. Clinical Relevance: Considering these results, we recommend that pediatric healthcare professionals use entertaining methods such as those involving clowns to teach and guide children regarding hygienic handwashing techniques.

Amaç: Bu araştırmada hastanede çocuğu yatan ebeveynlerin hastaneye ve sağlık bakımınayönelik memnuniyet düzeylerini belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntemler: Araştırma, kurumlardan gerekli izinler alındıktan sonra bir üniversite hastanesinde tanımlayıcı nitelikte yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini Nisan-Haziran 2012 aylarında çocuğu hastanede yatan ulaşılabilen tüm ebeveynler oluşturmuş, herhangi bir örneklem yöntemine gidilmeden, belirtilen tarihlerde hastanede olan ve araştırmaya katılmakisteyen 171 ebeveyn araştırma kapsamına alınmıştır. Veri toplamada, kişisel bilgi formu ilePedsQL Sağlık Bakımı Memnuniyet Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Veriler yüzdelik dağılım, ortalama, standart sapma, t testi, ANOVA, Kruskal Wallis, Mann Whitney U testi ve alfa katsayıhesaplaması kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir.Bulgular: Çocuğun hastanede yatış süresi arttıkça genel memnuniyet ortalaması azalmakta(p<0.05), hastanede kendi gereksinimini karşılayamayan ebeveynlerin, teknik beceri veduygusal gereksinim memnuniyeti alt boyutları ortalamalarının azaldığı (p<0.05), kalacakyeri olmayanların duygusal gereksinim memnuniyeti alt boyut ortalamasının azaldığı(p<0.05), evde başka çocuğu olanların duygusal gereksinim memnuniyetinin düşük olduğu(p<0.05), çocuğun hastalığının aileye maddi yük getirenlerin aile katılımı ve genel memnuniyetinin daha düşük olduğu (p<0.05) belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Ebeveynlerin aldıkları hizmetlerden memnuniyet düzeylerinin düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda hemşirelerin çocuğu hastanede yatan ailelerin çocuklarıyla ilgiliişlemlere karar verilmesinde söz sahibi olmasına ve işlemler sırasında çocuğunun yanındaolmasına izin vermeleri ve çocuğa yapılacak işlemler konusunda aileleri bilgilendirmeleriönerilebilir.
