(Springer, 2021-02) Ak, Bedriye; Tanrıkulu, Fatma; Gündoğdu, Handenur; Öner, Özge; Ziyai, Nasibe Yağmur; Erol, Funda; Dikmen, Yurdanur; Yılmaz, Dilek; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/Hemşirelik Bölümü; 0000-0001-7269-8493; GXI-1202-2022; 58371658500
The purpose of this study was to determine the feelings, thoughts, perceptions and cultural standpoint of nursing students concerning patient privacy. This study was conducted as a qualitative descriptive design. The homogeneous sampling method, purposive sampling method for qualitative research samples, was used to determine the study group. Data were collected from 17 nursing students at a state university in Turkey. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted, and content analysis was used to analyze data. Three main themes emerged from the data: perception of privacy, factors affecting patient privacy and suggested solutions. Four sub-categories emerged: religion, gender, culture and reassuring communication. The perceptions of many of the students relating to the concept of privacy coincided with the concepts of confidentiality and all kinds of information concerning the patient. It was seen that the most effective intervention among the students' solution proposals to ensure privacy was the necessity to make physical improvements in hospitals.

(Saudi Med J, 2016-01-23) Dikmen, Yurdanur; Köktürk, Fürüzan; Dedeoğlu, Yasemin; Yılmaz, Dilek K.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Yüksekokulu/Hemşirelik Bölümü.; 0000-0001-7269-8493; V-6292-2018; 57188753630
Objectives: To investigate the effects of air-lock technique (ALT) on pain of intramuscular (IM) injection delivered to the ventrogluteal and dorsogluteal site (DS). Methods: A randomized controlled trial design was used to assess the pain intensity associated with IM injections administered using 2 different methods and injection sites. Recruitment of patients was carried out between April and August 2013 at the Department of Brain Surgery, Cekirge State Hospital, Bursa, Turkey. The sample comprised 60 patients who developed no complications at the IM site, and had no illness that could affect their perception of pain. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups of 30 patients. Patients in the first group received injections in the ventrogluteal site (VS), while the DS was used for injections in the second group. Patients in each group received 2 injections, one using ALT and one not using the technique. After each injection, the pain felt by patients during the injection was immediately assessed using a visual analog scale. Results: The mean pain score after injections to the DS by the ALT was 3.30 +/- 2.70, while the mean pain score after injections to the VS using the same technique was 2.53 +/- 2.52. Conclusion: Although the difference between groups was not significant, the results of the study supported the idea that injections delivered to the VS by ALT are less painful than those delivered to the DS.

(Carbone Editore, 2018) Dikmen, Yurdanur; Yılmaz, Dilek; Türker, Gürkan; Öztürk, Aliye; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/Hemşirelik Bölümü.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Anesteziyoloji ve Reanimasyon Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Algoloji Kliniği.; 0000-0002-3019-581X; 0000-0001-7269-8493; AAI-6642-2021; V-6292-2018; 58371658500; 7003400116; 57204454454
Introduction: The aim of this study is to determine the threshold levels of pressure pain in individuals with chronic pain and to investigate the correlation between the different variables. Materials and methods: The research sample consisted of 60 adult patients who were attending the algology outpatients' clinic, and who had complaints of chronic pain with a duration of at least six months relating to the musculoskeletal system. Before measuring the patients' pressure pain thresholds, they were asked to mark their severity of pain, taking into account their general pain when in motion. Later, an algometer was used to take measurements of the pressure pain threshold in the mid deltoid, mid ulna, hypothenar eminence, mid tibia, and quadriceps,femoris regions. Results: Results of statistical analysis showed no significant difference between the mean regional pressure pain thresholds of patients according to illness group (P > 0.05), but did show a significant difference between the mean regional pressure pain thresholds of male and female patients (P < 0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded in this study that there was no difference between groups of patients with complaints of chronic pain relating to different musculoskeletal diseases and regional pressure pain threshold levels, that the factor of gender affected the regional pressure pain threshold level.

Objective: This descriptive study aimed to investigate the association between social support and submissive behavior in nursing students.Methods: The sample included 520 students studying in the nursing department of a government university in Turkey in the academic year 2014-2015. Data collection was achieved using demographics, the Submissive Behaviour Scale (SBS), and the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale (MDPSSS). For evaluating research data, frequency, percentages, means and standard deviations, Student's t-test, One way variance analysis, and Pearson correlation analysis were used.Results: The mean age of the participating students was 22.04 +/- 1.31 years, 67.7% were females, 43.8% were in their first year of study, and 83.7% required economic support. The total mean MDPSSS score of the students was 64.65 +/- 14.52, and the total mean SBS score was 36.15 +/- 9.63. The total mean MDPSSS scores of female students were significantly higher than those of male students (p<0.05); however, the mean SBS scores of male students were significantly higher than those of female students (p<0.05). A significant negative correlation was established between the students' mean SBS scores and total MDPSSS scores (p<0.05).Conclusion: In conclusion, the support of family and friends is important throughout the education of student nurses and that the support affected submissive behavior.

(Assoc Medica Brasileira, 2019-03-01) Karaman, Dilek; Erol, Funda; Yılmaz, Dilek; Dikmen, Yurdanur; YILMAZ, DİLEK; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/Hemşirelik Bölümü; 0000-0001-7269-8493; V-6292-2018
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the effect of virtual reality application on experimental ischemic pain created with a blood pressure instrument in healthy volunteers.METHODS: The research sample consisted of 172 volunteer adult students who conformed to the inclusion criteria. These individuals were assigned into an experimental (n=86) and a control group (n=86) by a simple randomization method. All individuals in the experimental and control groups wereexperimentally subjected to pain for two minutes by applying 260 mmHg of pressure 3-4 cm above the antecubital region of the left arm with an aneroid adult-type blood pressure instrument. During the procedure, the volunteers in the experimental group watched virtual reality images, while those in the control group received no intervention. Immediately after the procedure, the pain levels of the individuals in both groups were assessed with a Visual Analog Scale (VAS).RESULTS: We found that the mean pain score of the individuals in the experimental group was 2.62 +/- 1.82, and that of individuals in the control group was 5.75 +/- 1.65. Results of the statistical analysis showed a statistically significant difference between the mean pain scores of the individuals in the experimental and control groups (p<0.001).CONCLUSION: This study found that the use of virtual reality was effective in reducing the level of pain in healthy individuals. This method used a smartphone with widespread availability and ease of transportation, which can be used by health professionals as a non-pharmacological method in the management of pain.

(Ivano-frankivsk Natl Medical Univ, 2022-03-01) Gündoğdu, Handenur; Tanrıkulu, Fatma; Erol, Funda; Koç, Ferhat; Yılmaz, Dilek; Dikmen, Yurdanur; YILMAZ, DİLEK; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/Hemşirelik Bölümü; V-6292-2018
The aim of this study was to determine the satisfaction with nursing care among patients diagnosed with Covid-19 and related factors.Materials and Methods. The study was conducted between June and July 2020. The population of the study consisted of 102 patients treated in the Covid-19 clinics of the University Teaching and Research Hospital. The data were collected using the Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Care Scale with a total of 19 items, and the Patient Description Form designed to record the sociodemographic characteristics and medical histories. The data were evaluated using the program package IBM SPSS 20.0. To test the significance of the difference between two independent groups, the Student's t-test was used, and the one-way ANOVA was used to test the significance of the difference between more than two groups.Results. The results showed that most patients were satisfied with nursing care. A higher level of satisfaction was seen in patients treated in the Covid-19 intensive care units, those with chronic conditions, and those who received information about their health state from nurses. Patients' family type, sharing fears and worries with nurses, getting information from nurses and the quality of nursing care were the variables significantly associated with patient satisfaction with nursing care.Conclusions. Satisfaction with nursing care among Covid-19 patients was moderate. When nurses use effective communication skills to meet patients' care needs, provide patients with adequate information, allow them to express their feelings, and keep them safe, this will further enhance patient satisfaction.

(Wiley, 2020-02-05) Yılmaz, Dilek; Düzgün, Fatma; Durmaz, Havva; Çınar, Hava Gökdere; Dikmen, Yurdanur; Kara, Habibe; YILMAZ, DİLEK; Düzgün, Fatma; Durmaz, Havva; GÖKDERE ÇİNAR, HAVA; Kara, Habibe; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/Hemşirelik Bölümü.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi.; 0000-0001-7269-8493; 0000-0002-3122-5099; 0000-0002-5792-5958; AAI-7933-2021; V-6292-2018; EUT-2267-2022; ICN-9303-2023; FDS-4879-2022
Aim The aim of this study was to determine the effect on pain and bruising of pressure applied for different durations after subcutaneous heparin injection.Methods This research was a quasi-experimental study. The research was performed with 60 patients. Two different injection techniques were applied at an interval of 24 hr to each patient taking part in the study. Method A: after the low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) injection, pressure was applied with dry cotton for 10 s directly after the needle was withdrawn. Method B: after the LMWH injection, pressure was applied with dry cotton for 60 s directly after the needle was withdrawn. After the injection process was completed, the dimension of the bruising formed were evaluated. Also, after the injection process was completed, the patients were asked to show on a visual analog scale the severity of pain felt during the injection. Statistical analysis of the research data was performed with the statistics package IBM SPSS 22.0. The Wilcoxon signed rank test and the Mann-Whitney U test were used in the analysis of the data.Results The results of the statistical analysis showed no statistically significant difference between the mean size of bruising and pain level according to the duration of pressure applied to the injection area (p > .05).Conclusions It was concluded in this study that the duration of pressure applied to the injection site after subcutaneous LMWH injection did not affect the size of bruising or the severity of pain, and, unlike in the literature, that 60 s of applied pressure did not have a positive effect. Also, it was found that gender had an effect on the formation of bruising and the severity of pain, and body mass index had an effect on pain severity. Ten seconds of pressure applied to the injection site after subcutaneous LMWH injection may be enough to reduce complications.
