    Baş, Kazım; Gürarslan Baş, Nazan

    The aims of this study were to investigate parents’ COVID-19 fear and anxiety levels and determine the relationship between parents’ COVID-19 fear and anxiety levels and their attitudes and behaviors toward having themselves and their children vaccinated. This descriptive and cross-sectional type of research was conducted with 950 parents with 12–18 years old children. Having a chronic disease, being vaccinated, intention to vaccinate their children, and the children’s age and school year were found to increase parents’ COVID-19 fear and anxiety (p < 0.005). A statistically significant correlation was found between the parents’ perceived levels of COVID-19 fear and anxiety and their intentions to vaccinate their children (p < 0.005). According to the study’s findings, the age of the child, the parents’ vaccination, and the parents’ intentions to vaccinate their children were predictors of COVID-19 fear and anxiety.

    Karatay, Gülnaz; Gürarslan Baş, Nazan; Yüksekol, Aslı

    Objective: This study was conducted to examine the effect of being diagnosed with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) during pregnancy on postpartum depressive symptoms and infant-mother bonding. Method: This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in a city in southeastern Turkey. Using the purposeful sampling method, 210 postpartum women (106 had COVID during pregnancy, 104 did not) constituted the sample of the study. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews between 15 March and 30 May 2022. Data were collected using the mother introductory information form, mother-infant bonding scale, and Edinburgh postnatal depression scale. The obtained data were analyzed using percentages, means, t-test, chi-square, Mann-Whitney U, and regression analysis. Results: According to the findings of the study, a significant relationship has been observed between contracting COVID-19 and both the birth weight of the baby and the week of birth. Moreover, having COVID-19 negatively affected infant-mother bonding and increased postpartum depressive symptoms. Conclusion: According to the findings of the study: it was observed that the babies of mothers who had COVID-19 had lower birth weight, were born before the full term, mother-baby bonding was lower, and postpartum depression was higher in mothers.

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.

    The Effect of Therapeutic Clowning on Handwashing Technique and Microbial Colonization in Preschool Children

    Arıkan, Duygu; Gürarslan Baş, Nazan; Kurudirek, Fatma; Baştopcu, Ayşe; Uslu, Hakan

    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.

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.

    Yoksulluğun 1-4 yaş grubu çocuklarda hastalanma sıklığı üzerine etkileri

    Karataş, Belkıs; Gürarslan Baş, Nazan

    Amaç: Araştırma, Yoksulluğun 1-4 yaş grubu çocukların hastalanma sıklığı üzerine etkilerini incelemek amacıyla tanımlayıcı olarak yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırmanın evrenini, Muş ili sınırları içinde sosyoekonomik düzeyi en düşük olan Yeşilyurt Mahallesi ve sosyoekonomik düzeyi en iyi olan Kültür-2 Mahallesinde ikamet eden 1-4 yaş grubu çocuklar oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemini, sosyo-ekonomik düzeyi yüksek ve düşük olan mahalleler arasında hastalanma sıklığı bakımından %30’luk bir fark olacağı kabul edilerek, formülle hesaplanmış 260 çocuk oluşturmuştur. Anket formları 1-4 yaş grubu çocuğu olan annelere ev ziyareti yapılarak, yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi kullanılarak doldurulmuştur. Elde edilen veriler bilgisayar ortamında değerlendirilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde, sayı, yüzde ve ki-kare testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Yeşilyurt mahallesindeki çocukların %16.9’unun yılda 3 kez kulak enfeksiyonu, %20.9’unun 5 kez ve daha sık ishal-kusma, %19.5’inin 5 kez ve daha sık idrar yolu enfeksiyonu geçirdiği, Kültür-2 mahallesindeki çocukların ise, %89.3’ünün yılda 1 kez kulak enfeksiyonu, %62.9’unun 1-2 kez ishal-kusma, %90.0’nının ise yılda 1-2 kez idrar yolu enfeksiyonu geçirdikleri tespit edilmiştir (p<0.05). Sonuç: Sosyo-ekonomik düzeyi düşük mahallede yaşayan çocukların, daha fazla ve daha sık hastalandıkları tespit edildiğinden, ebe/hemşirelerin özellikle sosyo-ekonomik düzeyi düşük olan bölgelerde yaşayan çocukları belirleyerek sık takip etmeleri önerilmektedir.
