Publication Efficacy of buzzy(r)on pain and anxiety during catheterization in children(Wiley, 2020-09-09) Duygulu, Şengül; Demirtaş, Zeliha; Yılmaz, Dilek; YILMAZ, DİLEK; Özyazıcıoğlu, Nurcan; ÖZYAZICIOĞLU, NURCAN; Çıtak Tunç, Gülseren; ÇITAK TUNÇ, GÜLSEREN; Aydın, Ayla İrem; AYDIN, AYLA İREM; Atak, Meryem; ATAK, MERYEM; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Meslek Yüksek Okulu.; 0000-0001-7269-8493; 0000-0001-9645-7221; AAE-2648-2019; HJZ-4896-2023; AAG-2640-2021; ADO-4343-2022; AAI-6835-2021Background: The use of a peripheral intravenous cannula is a common clinical practice, and it is known to be a major source of pain and anxiety in children. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of the use of the Buzzy(R)on pain and anxiety in children during peripheral cannula application.Methods: The research sample consisted of 60 children between the ages of 8 and 16. For children in the experimental group, external cold and vibration were applied by means of the Buzzy(R)device. Before and during the peripheral intravenous cannula procedure, the levels of fear and anxiety relating to the procedure of the child patients in both the experimental and control groups were assessed by the children themselves and by an independent observer. Immediately after the vein entry procedure had been carried out, the level of pain felt by the children was determined.Results: The results of the statistical analysis showed no statistically significant difference between the anxiety levels of the groups before and after the procedure (P> 0.05). The results of the statistical analysis also showed no statistically significant difference between the postprocedural mean pain scores of the children as reported by the children themselves and by the observer (P> 0.05).Conclusions: In this study, unlike most studies in the literature, the conclusion was reached that the use of the Buzzy(R)to reduce pain and anxiety during the application of a peripheral intravenous cannula in children was not effective.Publication Hand dermatitis in nursing students(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2020-04-01) Özyazıcıoglu, Nurcan; ÖZYAZICIOĞLU, NURCAN; Surenler, Semra; SÜRENLER, SEMRA; Aydin, Ayla Irem; AYDIN, AYLA İREM; Atak, Meryem; ATAK, MERYEM; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/Hemşirelik Meslek Yüksek Okulu.; 0000-0001-9645-7221; HJZ-4896-2023; AAI-6835-2021; AAG-2640-2021; AAE-2648-2019OBJECTIVETo determine the frequency of self-reported hand dermatitis and the factors influencing its prevalence among nursing students.METHODSResearchers collected demographic data and used a self-assessment form to identify dermatologic symptoms. The questionnaires were distributed to the students and collected again after the students completed the forms.RESULTSHand dermatitis was present in 20.9% of nursing students. The most common symptoms were irritation/pruritus, redness/cracking, flaking/rash, swelling, and vesicles in hands. The grade of the student, the presence of allergy complaints, and medication used to treat dermatitis were statistically significantly associated with dermatitis prevalence. The use of gloves and cleansing agents used in handwashing were factors linked to hand dermatitis.CONCLUSIONSHand dermatitis increases in parallel with the increase of clinical practice hours among nursing students. Familial and environmental factors also increase the risk of hand dermatitis.Publication Infantile colic in infants aged one-six months and the practices of mothers for colic(Galenos Yayincilik, 2020-09-01) Didisen, Nurdan Akcay; Yavuz, Betul; Gerceker, Gulcin Ozalp; Albayrak, Tugba; Basbakkal, Didar Zumrut; Atak, Meryem; ATAK, MERYEM; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/Hemşirelik Meslek Yüksek Okulu.; 0000-0002-8387-9959; AAG-2640-2021Aim: The aims of this study were to explore the infantile colic in infants from 1-6 months of age, and the mother's practices to eliminate colic and the relationships between infantile colic scores and sample characteristics.Materials and Methods: This descriptive study included 232 mothers of infants who were admitted to the hospital for child monitoring at two university hospitals in the Aegean region. Information on demographics, colic characteristics, and practices of mothers to eliminate colic was collected.Results: According to reports of the mothers, 67.2% of the infants had colic, and 28.5% of the infants met all of the Wessel criteria. The average scale score of infantile colic was 65.2 +/- 12.6. To eliminate the colic, 67.6% of the mothers held their infants on their lap, 68.7% rocked them, 63.2% changed the position of their infants, 57.4% massaged the infants' bellies, and 37.1% stated that they used a warm application.Conclusion: One out of every three-four babies in the study met the diagnosis of infantile colic according to Wessel criteria's. The average score obtained from the infantile colic scale is quite high. Mothers usually use behavioral methods to prevent and reduce colic symptoms, they also use pharmacological and traditional methods in this study.Publication The effect of different audio distraction methods on children's postoperative pain and anxiety(Elsevier, 2021-01-29) Atak, Meryem; Özyazıcıoğlu, Nurcan; ATAK, MERYEM; ÖZYAZICIOĞLU, NURCAN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Hemşireliği Bölümü; 0000-0001-9645-7221; 0000-0002-8387-9959; HJZ-4896-2023; AAG-2640-2021; AAI-6835-2021Purpose: The aim of the study was to determine the effect of different auditory methods of attention distraction on postoperative pain and anxiety in children. Design: The study was conducted as a pretest-posttest experimental study to determine the effect of classical music, Turkish music, and audiobook on the reduction of postoperative pain and anxiety in children. Methods: The patient population of the study comprised children who had undergone a surgical operation in the pediatric surgery clinics. A total of 90 children were included in the sample of the study. The data were collected using the Visual Analog Scale, the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for children, in addition to the sociodemographic data form of the child and the parent. Findings: Classical music, Turkish music, and audiobook methods played an effective role in decreasing postoperative pain and the anxiety state in children. Classical music listening was the most effective method in reducing the pain in children in the postoperative period in the three groups in the study. Conclusions: We demonstrated that different auditory attention distraction methods had a decreasing effect on postoperative pain and anxiety in children. ? 2020 American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses.
