Publication The effect of using a reminder diabetic foot mirror on foot checking frequency and development of diabetic foot in people with diabetes(Springer, 2021-07-10) Doğan, Derya Akça; Enç, Nuray; AKÇA DOĞAN, DERYA; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/İç Hastalıkları Hemşireliği Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-7040-2732; AAI-6539-2021Purpose Diabetic foot is a serious and preventable complication. Foot self-inspection is one of the most important foot care behaviors to prevent diabetic foot. This experimental study aimed to assess the effect of using a reminder diabetic foot mirror on foot checking frequency and development of diabetic foot. Methods This research was carried out between May 2019 and February 2020 at a university hospital in Istanbul. In this study, 133 people with diabetes were included and assigned to groups randomly. A reminder diabetic foot mirror was given to the experimental group 1, while the diabetic foot mirror was given to the experimental group 2. Diabetic foot examinations were performed at the beginning of the study and every 3 months. For 9 months, foot examination frequency data were recorded by interviewing the participants at the end of each month. Results At the beginning of the study, the participants in all the groups had similar characteristics. However, at the end, it was found that the frequency of foot checking was higher in people with diabetes who used a reminder diabetic foot mirror when compared with those who did not, and this difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). While none of the participants developed diabetic foot, it was found that the use of a reminder diabetic foot mirror led to positive changes in temperature, hydration, edema, and interdigital assessments in foot examination. Conclusion Using a reminder diabetic foot mirror is an effective approach to increase the frequency of foot checking in people with diabetes.Publication Individual hygiene behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic(Univ Sao Paolo, 2022-01-01) Aydın, Ayla İrem; Doğan, Derya Akça; Serpici, Ayşe; Atak, Meryem; AYDIN, AYLA İREM; AKÇA DOĞAN, DERYA; ATAK, MERYEM; SERPİCİ, AYŞE; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Hemşireliği Bölümü.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/Hemşirelik Bölümü.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/Cerrahi Hemşireliği Bölümü.; 0000-0001-7040-2732; 0000-0002-9402-9861; 0000-0002-6789-5027; 0000-0002-8387-9959; AAE-2648-2019; AAI-6539-2021; AAG-2640-2021; HLR-3740-2023Objective: To investigate the hygiene behaviors of individuals during the Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.Method: During the pandemic (April 2021- September 2021), 439 adults were surveyed online via Google Forms, which assessed the individuals' introductory information and hygiene behaviors as determined by the COVID-19 Hygiene Scale.Results: Out of the participants, 71.3% were female and 68.3% were 18-33 years old. The mean COVID-19 Hygiene Scale score of the participants was 94.62 +/- 26.56. Individuals belonging to the 18-33 years age group had significantly higher hand hygiene scores than the other age groups (p < 0.05). Women showed a higher mean total and subdomain scores in the COVID-19 Hygiene Scale than men. A significant difference between the social distance and mask use and hand hygiene subdomains was observed (p < 0.05).Conclusion: The hand hygiene scores of the individuals varied by age and gender, whereas the social distance and mask use scores varied by only gender. Based on the above mentioned results, the nurses should focus on the individuals' development of effective hygiene behaviors, and schedule and implement trainings according to the sociodemographic differences among the individuals.Publication Diabetic foot care training and the presence of nurses in Turkish youtube videos(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2022-05-18) Doğan, Derya Akça; AKÇA DOĞAN, DERYA; Pehlivan, Seda; PEHLİVAN, SEDA; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/Hemşirelik Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-7040-2732; 0000-0002-1670-0672; ABG-1164-2020; AAI-6539-2021Objective: In this study, the content of Turkish YouTube videos as a source of information on diabetic foot care training and the presence of nurses in these videos were examined.Methods: A search was performed in the video sharing platform YouTube with the keyword "diabetic foot care on 09.12.2020. From 200 videos, 87 were included in the study, and they were independently evaluated by two investigators for their usefulness, reliability, and quality.Results: Of the videos, 8% were categorized as very useful, 33.3% moderately useful, 51.7% somewhat useful, and 6.9% not useful, while 4.6% contained misleading information. It was also found that the instructor was a nurse in only 12.6% of these videos.Conclusion: There is useful information about diabetic foot care on YouTube; however, there are also videos with misleading information. In addition, it has been observed that very few of these videos were prepared by nurses. In order to improve the foot care behaviors of individuals with diabetes, it may be suggested that professional groups, especially nurses who are primarily responsible for training and care, should create original, detailed, and interesting videos on appropriate diabetic foot care.Publication Nursing students' fear of negative evaluation and perceptions of clinical decision-making(Slack, 2023-06-01) Doğan, Derya Akça; Serpici, Ayşe; AKÇA DOĞAN, DERYA; SERPİCİ, AYŞE; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi; 0000-0001-7040-2732; AAI-6539-2021; AAI-8437-2021Background: Nursing is a profession based on theo-retical knowledge and practice, and the clinical decision -making process is important. Many factors affect the fear of negative evaluation, and fear of a negative evaluation is a potential variable that can affect clinical decision-making. Method: This descriptive cross-sectional study included undergraduate nursing students (n = 283). Results: Nursing students'fear of a negative evaluation and clinical decision -making scale scores were 31.92 & PLUSMN; 08.51 and 149.18 & PLUSMN; 13.67, respectively. No significant relationship was identified be-tween the scores (p > .05). Conclusion: The fear of a nega-tive evaluation was not associated with nursing students' perceptions of clinical decision-making. To reduce nurs-ing students' fear of a negative evaluation and improve their clinical decision-making ability, appropriate train-ing programs should be developed and implemented by nursing educators and administrators.

Diabetic foot knowledge and foot self-care behaviors of persons with T2DM were below a medium level, and there was a significant difference between ablution behavior and the presence of diabetic foot ulcers (x(2) =6.646, p<.05).Discussion: Culturally congruent interventions that acknowledge and understand the cultural practices and beliefs of Muslims with T2DM may be recommended to enhance their knowledge levels and promote positive behavior changes.
