Öğe Assessment of erectile dysfunction prevalence and associated factors in hypertensive men(PEERJ INC, 341-345 OLD ST, THIRD FLR, LONDON EC1V 9LL, ENGLAND, 2024) Rashidi, Mahruk; Kıskaç, Neşe; Meral, Deniz Kaya; Çakmak, Sultan; Durusoy, Ebru; Nart, Aydın; Cengizli, Dilara; Özer, Esra; Aslan, Meltem; Kıskaç, MuharremBackground. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of erectile dysfunction and identify associated factors among male patients with hypertension. Methods. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted. Data were gathered from 223 individuals aged 18 and above, solely diagnosed with hypertension. Information was collected through face-to-face questionnaires, personal identification forms, and the 5-question version of the International Sexual Function Index Scale. Results. Among the participants, 81.6% exhibited erectile dysfunction, with a mean total score of 18.72 ± 3.60 on the 5-question version of the International Index of Erectile Function Questionnaire, indicating a mild level of dysfunction. Older age, smoking, lower educational attainment, and use of beta blockers were associated with higher levels of erectile dysfunction (p < 0.05). Discussion. To mitigate modifiable risk factors influencing erectile dysfunction severity in hypertensive males, promoting healthy lifestyle choices, including diet, exercise, physiotherapy, and psychosocial support, as well as educating patients and their partners, could prove beneficial as non-pharmacological interventions.Öğe Determination of the relationship between obesity prejudice status and eating behaviors of faculty of health sciences students(BMC, CAMPUS, 4 CRINAN ST, LONDON N1 9XW, ENGLAND, 2024) Kıskaç, Neşe; Kaya Meral, Deniz; Rashidi, Mahruk; Soydan, Ayşe Mücella; Aslan, Meltem; Nart, Aydın; Akdoğan, Bahar Nur; Çakmak, Sultan; Cengizli, Dilara; Akgöz, Hasan FatihBackground People living with obesity receive treatment services from health professionals for their weight or other health needs. In order for the students of the Faculty of Health Sciences, who will be a member of the health team in the future, to raise awareness of the society, it is necessary to first determine their obesity prejudices and eating habits. Methods The study is a cross-sectional and descriptive research. The study data were collected from 406 students studying at the Faculty of Health Sciences by online questionnaire method using a personal characteristics identification form, GAMS 27-Obesity Bias Scale and University Students Eating Behavior Scale (USEBS). The data were analyzed with SPSS 26 statistical software. Results In this study, all students were found to be prone to prejudice according to the mean total score of the Obesity Bias Scale and Obesity Bias Scale was higher in female students studying in perfusion department. In the sub-dimensions of the University Students Eating Behavior Scale, the enjoyment of food score was found to have the highest mean score. Conclusion According to the results of the study, there is a need to develop educational planning that will both increase the awareness of university students about the relationship between eating behaviors and obesity and eliminate obesity prejudice tendencies due to the fact that they are educated to provide services in the field of health. Highlights • It was determined that students were prone to prejudice against individuals with obesity. • It was found that the satiety sensitivity sub-dimension score of the students studying in the nutrition department was high. • The mean Obesity Bias Scale score of the students studying in the perfusion department was found to be high. • There was a negative relationship between age and food sensitivity, eating pleasure, emotional overnutrition, hunger and obesity bias, and a positive relationship between satiety sensitivity.Öğe The Effect of Listening to White Noise and Heart Sound on Pain During Sternum Dressing in Newborn: A Randomized Control Trial Study(Gümüşhane Üniversitesi, 2024) Aslan, Meltem; Pek, HaticeThe research was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of listening to white noise and heart sounds during the sternum dressing process on the pain felt by newborns who underwent congenital heart surgery. The research sample consisted of 48 (white noise:16, heart sound:16, control:16) newborns who underwent cardiac surgery in a training and research hospital in Istanbul and met the sample selection criteria. Newborn Pain Scale (NIPS) was used to assess pain. There was a significant difference in physiological parameter values between the groups during the sternum dressing (p<0.001). The NIPS pain scores during the sternum dressing procedure differed across groups (p<0.001). Newborns in the control group had significantly higher NIPS pain scale scores compared to those in the heart sound and white noise group, while the heart sound group scored similarly to the white noise group (p<0.001). These findings support the hypothesis that listening to white noise and heart sounds during sternum dressing in newborns is an effective methods for reducing pain.Öğe Effects of Non-Pharmacological Methods on the Pain Level Occurs Due to Heel Blood Collection: Randomized Controlled Trial(İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Yayınları / Istanbul Gelisim University Press, 2024) Aslan, Meltem; Aydın Ateş, NuranAim: Studies indicate that non-pharmacological methods applied during invasive procedures in newborns assist in managing pain and agitation. This randomized controlled trial aimed to determine the effect of nonpharmacological methods on pain associated with heel stick procedures in healthy newborns. Method: This study conducted in the neonatal unit of a private hospital included a total of 100 newborns aged 24-48 hours and divided them into experimental and control groups. While no non-pharmacological intervention was applied to the control group during the heel stick procedure, the experimental group received interventions such as providing a pacifier, administering oral sucrose, swaddling the baby in a flexion position, and warming the heel under a radiant warmer. Data were collected using the Procedure Follow-up Chart and the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) and analyzed using the SPSS 21.0 program. Results: There is a statistically significant difference between the mean score of the NIPS of the babies in the experimental group and the babies in the control group (p=0.000). It was determined that the control group had higher mean pain scores compared to the experimental group. Conclusion: This study revealed a significant difference in NIPS pain scores between the experimental and control groups and demonstrated that non-pharmacological methods effectively reduced pain levels.Öğe The Effect of Artificial Intelligence on Clinical Practice and Learning Processes in Nursing Education: A Qualitative Study(İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Yayınları / Istanbul Gelisim University Press, 2025) Aslan, Meltem; Nart, Aydın; Alpaydın, MusabAim: The study was planned and carried out in a qualitative (case study) type in order to determine the areas of artificial intelligence use in nursing education and its effect on the learning processes of students. Method: Demographic Data Form including the characteristics of nursing students and Semi-structured Interview Form were used as data collection tools. The data were collected with a voice recorder and transferred to a Microsoft Word file using a transcriber. The research data were evaluated by content analysis method and three expert opinions were obtained. MAXQDA program was used in the content analysis process. Results: According to the results of the research, students mostly stated that they benefited from artificial intelligence tools, especially chatgpt. It was stated that chatgpt made significant contributions to conducting research, learning languages, obtaining drug information and obtaining information about applications. The students emphasized that AI should be supported with more reliable and updated sources and pointed out that information pollution should be reduced. In addition, a suggestion was made that AI should only draw data from reliable academic sources. Conclusion: It was seen that AI makes significant contributions to the learning process, but some fundamental issues such as reliability and information pollution need to be addressed. Students offered several suggestions to make AI-supported education more reliable, simple and accessible.
