Kaplan Serin, Emine
Physical activity levels of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are low due to the symptoms of COPD. The patients diagnosed with COPD are headed for complementary and alternative treatments to reduce the COPD symptoms, facilitate the treatment, and increase their physical activity. One of these treatments is QiGong, which is not yet common in our country. QiGong is a type of exercise based on ancient Chinese medicine, and mainly consists of active and passive exercises. These exercises open energy channels in the body, and thus prevent and/or heal diseases by establishing energy balance in the body through meditation, breath control, and bodily exercises. According to a literature review abroad, there are a small number of scientific studies related the therapeutic effect of QiGong exercises on symptom control, anxiety, reduction of stress and depression, increase in physical activity and quality of life, and the development of lung function of patients with COPD. By considering the educative role of nurses, it is important that the nurse has adequate knowledge of the treatment and care of patients with COPD. Therefore, this review is compiled to be informative about the effects of QiGong in the treatment of COPD, and assistance to subsequent studies.

Kaplan Serin, Emine; Alp Dal, Nursel; Gümüşsoy, Süreyya
Objective: This study was conducted to assess the relationship between the symptoms experienced by women with COPD and the quality of their sexual life. Method: This study was designed as a descriptive cross-sectional study. The study was conducted at a hospital’s chest diseases clinic located in the western of Turkey. The sample comprises 62 female patients hospitalized with diagnosis of COPD. A questionnaire form, the Medical Research Council Scale (MRCS), the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) and the Sexual Quality of Life-Female (SQOL-F) applied to the women with COPD. Frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Kruskal Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U Test, correlation and regression analysis, were used for the data analysis process. Findings: The decrease in the education level of the participants who have any accompanying chronic disease, and experience symptoms during sexual intercourse negatively affects their quality of sexual life. The quality of sexual life decreases as age, duration of marriage and duration of illness increase (p < 0.05). The results of the linear regression analysis carried out to predict the quality of sexual life of women with COPD shown that the increase in mMRC and CAT significantly decreased the quality of sexual life. These variables explain 58% of the variance. Conclusions: The result of the study shown the sexual quality of life of women with COPD was impaired and COPD symptoms affect them.

Kaplan Serin, Emine; Citlik Saritas, Seyhan
This study aims to determine the effects of transtheoretical model-based walking exercise training and follow-up on improving exercise behavior and metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. This randomized controlled trial was conducted as a pre-test and post-test experimental model with 76 intervention and 76 control individuals. The intervention group received the transtheoretical model-based exercise training. Data were collected using patient identification form, transtheoretical model scales, pedometer and metabolic outcomes. Data were analyzed by Chi square, two-way ANOVA, Mauchly’s, Greenhouse-Geisser, Friedman, and McNamer test. The overall score means for the exercise change processes, decision-making balance and self-efficacy scales increased compared to the pre-test (p <.001). The mean HDL increased from 41.39 ± 10.35 to 49.18 ± 11.58, and average number of steps per day increased from 3264.31 ± 1933.03 to 5639.37 ± 2317.01. Consequently, this difference between the groups was significant (p <.05).

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.
