Preventing this exposure requires protective equipment and radiation safety. This study examined anesthesia students' using fluoroscopy and preventive knowledge. Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study included 139 Vocational High School Anesthesia students. The "Healthcare Professional Knowledge of Radiation Protection" scale and a 13-question survey collected data. The scale was designed with a Likert scale and three sub-factors. If the total and sub-dimension item average score of the scale is below 5, it indicates that the level of knowledge of radiation protection among medical personnel is low, and if it is above 5, it indicates that the level of knowledge is high. Results: More than half of the students (59.8%) heard the radiation from the fluoroscopy device, the vast majority (82.7%) did not receive radiation protection training, 58.3% stayed away from the device while it was operating, and 70.5% stated that it is crucial to stay away from the device while it was operating. It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) in the "Radiation Physics, Biology, and Radiation Usage Principles" sub-dimension of students who were male, in their second year of education, received radiation protection training, and offered reliable answers to a number of questions measuring their level of radiation knowledge. In addition, the research revealed a positive and highly significant correlation between the scale and its subdimensions. Conclusion: Although the scale scores of the students who received radiation protection training and had a high level of radiation knowledge were substantially higher than those of the other students, the average score of the students was less than 5. This indicates that students have an inadequate understanding of radiation protection. To prevent the negative biological effects of radiation on the human body, it is necessary to conduct epidemiological research, educate health care professionals and anesthesiology students about the effects and processes of this radiation on human cells, and provide frequent training. Radiation, radiation's biological effects, and radiation protection should be included in health students' curricula.

Methods: Although there are few studies evaluating nurses' insomnia, it is an important issue worldwide. The research was conducted with a cross-sectional and descriptive design with 149 nurses working in the Intensive Care Units of a university hospital. The data were collected with Data Collection Form and Insomnia Severity Index with face-to-face interview method. Descriptive methods and Chi-Square Test were used for statistical analyses, and p<0.05 value was considered to be statistically significant. Results: It was determined that the mean age of the participants was 31.04±5.93, 54.4% worked at surgical Intensive Care Units, many of them had a weekly working duration of 40-48 hours, and 62.4% worked in shifts. It was also determined that 75.2% of the nurses experienced insomnia. The difference between gender, weekly working duration, working style, sleep onset latency, sleeping duration and insomnia severity status was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). No statistically significant differences were detected between nurses' smoking status, drinking alcohol status, drinking coffee status, daytime coffee consumption, evening coffee consumption, tea drinking status, daytime tea consumption, evening tea consumption, sports and doing sports frequency, and insomnia severity (p>0.05). Conclusions: It can be argued that the majority of nurses who participated in the study experienced insomnia and moderate insomnia, and this result may pose a threat for nursing care in Intensive Care Units.

The phenomenon of violence is a social reality that exists in Turkey, similar to that in other societies. When people think of violence against women, they often think of physical violence. However, both national (Turkish) and international platforms indicate that violence can be physical, sexual, psychological, and economic as well. Economic violence is one of the types of violence that women are exposed to. The economic violence refers to the use of money and economic resources on women as a means of sanction, power, and threat which impoverishes women and makes them dependent on individuals. The fact that economic violence, which is accepted as one of major barriers to economic and social development and development of countries, is accepted by a gr...

This skill becomes more important in critical settings such as intensive care units. The present study was conducted in a descriptive design to evaluate the communication skills of intensive care nurses. The study was conducted between January-March 2018 with 260 nurses who worked at the intensive care units of four hospitals in the Southeastern Anatolia Region. The Nurse Descriptive Characteristics Form and The Communication Skills Evaluation Scale were used to collect the study data. It was found that 68.1% of the participants had undergraduate or higher educational status, and 56.2% received training on communication skills in the last year. The communication skills of the nurses who had undergraduate and higher educational status were better than those with high school degrees. It was also found that the communication skills of the nurses who received communication training in the last year were higher than those who did not. In line with the results obtained in the present study, it is recommended to organize and sustain in-service training programs to improve communication skills of nurses, to evaluate communication skills at regular intervals, to identify communication difficulties in intensive care units, and to take measures regarding this aspect.

Araştırma Gaziantep ilinde yer alan bir vakıf üniversitesinin Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi Hemşirelik Bölümü'nde öğrenim gören 330 öğrenciden 268 öğrenciye uygulandı. Araştırma verileri 31 sorudan oluşan soru formuyla, Şubat-Mart 2019 tarihlerinde toplandı. Öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 22.07±2.44 (19-39)'dir. Afet denilince ilk akla gelenin %81.0 gibi en yüksek oranda deprem olduğu belirtildi. Öğrencilerin %92.2 gibi büyük bir oranda kendilerinin ve çevresinin afete hazırlıklı olmadığını, %86.6'sının afet acil durum çantasının olmadığını ve %75.4'ü afet durumunda yaşadıkları yerde alternatif barınma imkanlarının olmadığını belirtti. Birinci, ikinci, üçüncü ve dördüncü sınıfta olan öğrencilerin en yüksek oranda afetin tanımını "Gerek doğal kaynaklı olsun gerekse insan kaynaklı olsun afet bireyleri, kurumları, eşyaları ve doğayı etkilemekte, hatta yıkımlara yol açmaktadır" belirttikleri tespit edildi. Öğrencilerin afet ve/veya olağan dışı durumlarla ilgili bir tatbikatta görev almak istedikleri saptandı (p=0.895). Son sınıftaki öğrencilerin %82.7 oranında diğer sınıflardaki öğrencilere göre afet hakkında eğitimli oldukları bulundu (p=0.000). Çalışmamızda hemşirelik öğrencilerinin afet konusunda bilgili oldukları görüldü. Ancak yüksek bir oranda kendilerinin ve çevresinin afetlere hazırlıklı olmamasına, yaşanılan yerde afet acil durum çantasının olmamasına ve alternatif barınma imkanlarının olmamasına bağlı olarak öğrencilerin bilinç düzeylerinin yetersiz olduğu görüldü. Afetlere karşı oluşturulacak ulusal bilincin ilköğretim çağındaki çocuklardan başlanarak toplumun bütün yaş kademelerine verilmesi düşüncesindeyiz.

This descriptive study was conducted with 206 nurses in Şahinbey Education Research and Application Hospital. Data were collected using the questionnaire prepared by the researchers, and the '' Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire '' (T-TAQ). Number, percentage, mean ± standard deviation and Chi-square, t-test, and ANOVA analysis were performed as descriptive statistics. 72.8% of the nurses are female, and 27.2% are male. The mean age of the nurses was 29.8 ± 4.8 years. 73.3% of the nurses were trained on the subject during primary education, 55.3% of them were trained on the subject after graduation, and 58.3% of them stated that teamwork was carried out in the unit they were working in. The mean score of the Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire was 107.96 ± 23.21. Despite receiving the lowest score from the mutual support sub-dimension, this score is above the mean. The highest mean score was taken from the leadership sub-dimension. It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the team structure and the mutual support sub-dimension in the comparison of the gender and teamwork attitudes scores of the nurses (p <0.05). It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference in all sub-dimension and total mean scores except the communication in the comparison of the mean scores of the nurses' education status and teamwork attitudes (p <0.05). When we compare the situation of nurses' definition of health team according to educational status, we found that there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p> 0.05). As a result of the study, it is seen that the nurses are trained in teamwork and acted effectively in the health team.

The "Healthcare Professional Knowledge of Radiation Protection" scale and a 13-question survey collected data. The scale was designed with a Likert scale and three sub-factors. If the total and sub-dimension item average score of the scale is below 5, it indicates that the level of knowledge of radiation protection among medical personnel is low, and if it is above 5, it indicates that the level of knowledge is high. Results: More than half of the students (59.8%) heard the radiation from the fluoroscopy device, the vast majority (82.7%) did not receive radiation protection training, 58.3% stayed away from the device while it was operating, and 70.5% stated that it is crucial to stay away from the device while it was operating. It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) in the "Radiation Physics, Biology, and Radiation Usage Principles" sub-dimension of students who were male, in their second year of education, received radiation protection training, and offered reliable answers to a number of questions measuring their level of radiation knowledge. In addition, the research revealed a positive and highly significant correlation between the scale and its subdimensions. Conclusion: Although the scale scores of the students who received radiation protection training and had a high level of radiation knowledge were substantially higher than those of the other students, the average score of the students was less than 5. This indicates that students have an inadequate understanding of radiation protection. To prevent the negative biological effects of radiation on the human body, it is necessary to conduct epidemiological research, educate health care professionals and anesthesiology students about the effects and processes of this radiation on human cells, and provide frequent training. Radiation, radiation's biological effects, and radiation protection should be included in health students' curricula.

The phenomenon of violence is a social reality that exists in Turkey, similar to that in other societies. When people think of violence against women, they often think of physical violence. However, both national (Turkish) and international platforms indicate that violence can be physical, sexual, psychological, and economic as well. Economic violence is one of the types of violence that women are exposed to. The economic violence refers to the use of money and economic resources on women as a means of sanction, power, and threat which impoverishes women and makes them dependent on individuals. The fact that economic violence, which is accepted as one of major barriers to economic and social development and development of countries, is accepted by a gr...

This skill becomes more important in critical settings such as intensive care units. The present study was conducted in a descriptive design to evaluate the communication skills of intensive care nurses. The study was conducted between January-March 2018 with 260 nurses who worked at the intensive care units of four hospitals in the Southeastern Anatolia Region. The Nurse Descriptive Characteristics Form and The Communication Skills Evaluation Scale were used to collect the study data. It was found that 68.1% of the participants had undergraduate or higher educational status, and 56.2% received training on communication skills in the last year. The communication skills of the nurses who had undergraduate and higher educational status were better than those with high school degrees. It was also found that the communication skills of the nurses who received communication training in the last year were higher than those who did not. In line with the results obtained in the present study, it is recommended to organize and sustain in-service training programs to improve communication skills of nurses, to evaluate communication skills at regular intervals, to identify communication difficulties in intensive care units, and to take measures regarding this aspect.

Araştırma Gaziantep ilinde yer alan bir vakıf üniversitesinin Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi Hemşirelik Bölümü'nde öğrenim gören 330 öğrenciden 268 öğrenciye uygulandı. Araştırma verileri 31 sorudan oluşan soru formuyla, Şubat-Mart 2019 tarihlerinde toplandı. Öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 22.07±2.44 (19-39)'dir. Afet denilince ilk akla gelenin %81.0 gibi en yüksek oranda deprem olduğu belirtildi. Öğrencilerin %92.2 gibi büyük bir oranda kendilerinin ve çevresinin afete hazırlıklı olmadığını, %86.6'sının afet acil durum çantasının olmadığını ve %75.4'ü afet durumunda yaşadıkları yerde alternatif barınma imkanlarının olmadığını belirtti. Birinci, ikinci, üçüncü ve dördüncü sınıfta olan öğrencilerin en yüksek oranda afetin tanımını "Gerek doğal kaynaklı olsun gerekse insan kaynaklı olsun afet bireyleri, kurumları, eşyaları ve doğayı etkilemekte, hatta yıkımlara yol açmaktadır" belirttikleri tespit edildi. Öğrencilerin afet ve/veya olağan dışı durumlarla ilgili bir tatbikatta görev almak istedikleri saptandı (p=0.895). Son sınıftaki öğrencilerin %82.7 oranında diğer sınıflardaki öğrencilere göre afet hakkında eğitimli oldukları bulundu (p=0.000). Çalışmamızda hemşirelik öğrencilerinin afet konusunda bilgili oldukları görüldü. Ancak yüksek bir oranda kendilerinin ve çevresinin afetlere hazırlıklı olmamasına, yaşanılan yerde afet acil durum çantasının olmamasına ve alternatif barınma imkanlarının olmamasına bağlı olarak öğrencilerin bilinç düzeylerinin yetersiz olduğu görüldü. Afetlere karşı oluşturulacak ulusal bilincin ilköğretim çağındaki çocuklardan başlanarak toplumun bütün yaş kademelerine verilmesi düşüncesindeyiz.

This descriptive study was conducted with 206 nurses in Şahinbey Education Research and Application Hospital. Data were collected using the questionnaire prepared by the researchers, and the '' Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire '' (T-TAQ). Number, percentage, mean ± standard deviation and Chi-square, t-test, and ANOVA analysis were performed as descriptive statistics. 72.8% of the nurses are female, and 27.2% are male. The mean age of the nurses was 29.8 ± 4.8 years. 73.3% of the nurses were trained on the subject during primary education, 55.3% of them were trained on the subject after graduation, and 58.3% of them stated that teamwork was carried out in the unit they were working in. The mean score of the Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire was 107.96 ± 23.21. Despite receiving the lowest score from the mutual support sub-dimension, this score is above the mean. The highest mean score was taken from the leadership sub-dimension. It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the team structure and the mutual support sub-dimension in the comparison of the gender and teamwork attitudes scores of the nurses (p <0.05). It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference in all sub-dimension and total mean scores except the communication in the comparison of the mean scores of the nurses' education status and teamwork attitudes (p <0.05). When we compare the situation of nurses' definition of health team according to educational status, we found that there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p> 0.05). As a result of the study, it is seen that the nurses are trained in teamwork and acted effectively in the health team.
