Adaptation of the TRIG to the Turkish included back-translation of the inventory and its lingual and content validity were established by 14 specialists. The 20 items were approved for baby loss. TRIG was applied with 154 parents through telephone calls three months after the death of their infants. The collected data were evaluated by confirmatory factor analysis, 27% extreme-group method, Pearson moments multiplication correlation analysis and Cronbach’s alpha analysis. Results: The results obtained by the confirmatory factor analysis showed the factor patterns for mother and fathers were in accordance with the original inventory. For internal consistency, Cronbach’s α was 0.85, item-total score reliability was 0.28 and 0.37 in two questions, and within the 0.44-0.66 range in others, item-subpart total score reliability ranged between 0.44-0.72 for the ‘past behaviors’ part I and between 0.39 and 0.74 for the ‘present emotional feeling’ part II. The correlation coefficient calculated for the scale-subpart was 0.82 for ‘past behaviors’ part I and 0.94 for ‘present emotional feeling’ part II. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the TRIG is a valid and reliable inventory to evaluate the intensity of grief reaction experienced after loss of a loved one.

Methods: A social skills development program based on Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theory was used. The data were collected using the Social Skills Assessment Scale (SSAS), a Chart to Monitor Verbal and Behavioral Violence in Children, the Parental Attitude Scale and the Parent Interview Form. This quasi-experimental study that included a pretest, posttest, and control group had a sample comprising 67 children and parents, with 36 in the experimental group, and 31 in the control group. Results: Over a six-month period, while the social skill scores of the children in the experimental and control groups increased, their violent behaviors decreased (p<.050). Increase in social skill scores and decrease in violent behaviors were higher in the experimental than in the control group children (p<.050). The parents in the experimental group stated that they had started to empathize with their children, using "I" language, and applied rules more consistently after the program. Conclusion: This program was successful in preventing violent behaviors in children through the development of social skills. Hence, it can be effectively implemented through a teacher/nurse collaboration.

The rehospitalization rate of preterm infants is between 22 and 52% within the first year after discharge. The purpose of this study was to investigate the rehospitalization of preterm infants within 2 months following discharge, considering the level of risks originating from the infant, parents, and the social factors. Design and Methods. The sample was composed of 238 preterm infants and their parents. The data were collected with a Descriptive Information Form, the Post-Discharge Infant Follow-up Form, and the Neonatal Discharge Assessment Tool (N-DAT). Before discharge, the preterm infants were evaluated in terms of risky discharge via N-DAT consisting of the subscales Medical, Competencies, Risk factors, Resources, and Parenting. Discharge was determined as low, moderate, and high risk according to N-DAT total score. Two months after the discharge, rehospitalization of the infants was assessed. The data were evaluated via chi-square, Mann-Whitney U-test, and Fisher's exact test. Results. In the study, 39.9% of the preterm infants were rehospitalized within the 8 weeks following the discharge, with medical and/or surgical reasons. Medical problems such as pneumonia and acute bronchiolitis were ranked as the first cause for rehospitalization. As expected, according to the N-DAT scores, the rates of rehospitalization of infants who had been discharged with intermediate and high risk levels were found to be higher (p < .001) than the rates of those with low risk levels. Also, N-DAT Medical, Competencies, Risk factors, Resources, and Parenting subscale scores of the infants who were rehospitalized with medical problems were found to be higher at a statistically significant level than infants who were not rehospitalized (p < .001). Practice Implications. Nurses can help to minimize rehospitalization of infants by parental education, telephonic counseling, frequent observation, and home care support. Search terms Discharge risk level, preterm infant, rehospitalization.

The sample was composed of 238 high-risk preterm infants, born at gestational age of 24 to 37 weeks, and their parents. High scores on the N-DAT indicated higher risk for discharge of preterm infants and their parents. Psychometric analyses of the N-DAT included content validity, internal consistency reliability, and construct validity. Content validity of the N-DAT items was supported by experts (content validity index = .98). Internal consistency reliability was supported by a Cronbach&amp;amp;#39;s alpha for the total instrument of .94. N-DAT total and subscale score correlations ranged from .42 to .89. Known-groups analysis indicated that infants born at &amp;amp;lt;31 weeks&amp;amp;#39; gestation and infants who were rehospitalized during 8 weeks after discharge had significantly higher N-DAT total and subscale scores than infants born at ≥31 weeks or not rehospitalized. Also, mothers who reported experiencing problems with infant care at home had significantly higher N-DAT Competencies subscale scores than mothers who did not report problems. The N-DAT is a reliable and valid instrument to evaluate the risks related to discharge of preterm infants so that nurses can provide parents with the necessary knowledge, skills, and resources they need prior to discharge.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: The sample consisted of 120 children and their parents. Data were collected during, at the beginning, and at the end of the 3-month monitoring period using four forms and a quality of life scale. After an initial evaluation, approaches to control symptoms and asthma triggers and measures that might be taken for them were taught to the children and parents. The children recorded the conditions of trigger exposure, experience of disease symptoms, their effects on daily activities, and therapeutic implementations on a daily basis. RESULTS: During the 3-month monitoring period, the number of days when the children were exposed to triggers (p=0.000) and experienced disease symptoms decreased to a statistically significant level (p=0.006). Majority of domestic triggers disappeared, but those stemming from the structure of the house and non-domestic triggers indicated no change (p>0.05). Moreover, 30.8% of the children applied to a physician/hospital/emergency service, 4.2% of the children were hospitalized, and 30% of them could not go to school. The number of times when the children applied to a physician/hospital/emergency (p=0.013), the number of times they used medicines (p=0.050), and the number of days they could not go to school (p=0.002) decreased at a statistically significant level, and their quality of life increased (p=0.001). CONCLUSION: Asthma training and monitoring program decreased children's rate of experiencing asthma symptoms and implementations of therapeutic purposes and increased their life quality.

Method: A descriptive study with a research sample composed of 103 families of children with neuromuscular diseases. The questionnaire form was developed by the researcher and used to collect data, including questions about physical and psycho-social problems; home care needs of children and the family burden at home care. Data was collected within 8 months. For analyzing the data, percentage distributions and Chi-square (Pearson, Fisher) tests were used. Results: Among the children, 17.5% were unable to use lower extremities and 68.9% were unable to use lower and upper limbs; 48 (46.6%) used wheelchairs and/or orthesis; 68% did not practice physical exercise; 18.4% of them were receiving respiration therapy. Almost all of the children had some depressive symptoms. Among the relatives, 87.6% had depressive symptoms, 85.4% presented physical problems and 70.8% referred social isolation. Half of them had problems with their spouses and other children; 51.5% of the participants did not have any emotional support source. Conclusion: In Turkey, there is not an effective home care system, rehabilitation and polyclinic services which include emotional and social support. However, findings of this study demonstrate the needs of families and children for such services and how they are important for increasing their quality of life.

Methods: A social skills development program based on Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theory was used. The data were collected using the Social Skills Assessment Scale (SSAS), a Chart to Monitor Verbal and Behavioral Violence in Children, the Parental Attitude Scale and the Parent Interview Form. This quasi-experimental study that included a pretest, posttest, and control group had a sample comprising 67 children and parents, with 36 in the experimental group, and 31 in the control group. Results: Over a six-month period, while the social skill scores of the children in the experimental and control groups increased, their violent behaviors decreased (p<.050). Increase in social skill scores and decrease in violent behaviors were higher in the experimental than in the control group children (p<.050). The parents in the experimental group stated that they had started to empathize with their children, using "I" language, and applied rules more consistently after the program. Conclusion: This program was successful in preventing violent behaviors in children through the development of social skills. Hence, it can be effectively implemented through a teacher/nurse collaboration.

The rehospitalization rate of preterm infants is between 22 and 52% within the first year after discharge. The purpose of this study was to investigate the rehospitalization of preterm infants within 2 months following discharge, considering the level of risks originating from the infant, parents, and the social factors. Design and Methods. The sample was composed of 238 preterm infants and their parents. The data were collected with a Descriptive Information Form, the Post-Discharge Infant Follow-up Form, and the Neonatal Discharge Assessment Tool (N-DAT). Before discharge, the preterm infants were evaluated in terms of risky discharge via N-DAT consisting of the subscales Medical, Competencies, Risk factors, Resources, and Parenting. Discharge was determined as low, moderate, and high risk according to N-DAT total score. Two months after the discharge, rehospitalization of the infants was assessed. The data were evaluated via chi-square, Mann-Whitney U-test, and Fisher's exact test. Results. In the study, 39.9% of the preterm infants were rehospitalized within the 8 weeks following the discharge, with medical and/or surgical reasons. Medical problems such as pneumonia and acute bronchiolitis were ranked as the first cause for rehospitalization. As expected, according to the N-DAT scores, the rates of rehospitalization of infants who had been discharged with intermediate and high risk levels were found to be higher (p < .001) than the rates of those with low risk levels. Also, N-DAT Medical, Competencies, Risk factors, Resources, and Parenting subscale scores of the infants who were rehospitalized with medical problems were found to be higher at a statistically significant level than infants who were not rehospitalized (p < .001). Practice Implications. Nurses can help to minimize rehospitalization of infants by parental education, telephonic counseling, frequent observation, and home care support. Search terms Discharge risk level, preterm infant, rehospitalization.

The sample was composed of 238 high-risk preterm infants, born at gestational age of 24 to 37 weeks, and their parents. High scores on the N-DAT indicated higher risk for discharge of preterm infants and their parents. Psychometric analyses of the N-DAT included content validity, internal consistency reliability, and construct validity. Content validity of the N-DAT items was supported by experts (content validity index = .98). Internal consistency reliability was supported by a Cronbach&amp;amp;#39;s alpha for the total instrument of .94. N-DAT total and subscale score correlations ranged from .42 to .89. Known-groups analysis indicated that infants born at &amp;amp;lt;31 weeks&amp;amp;#39; gestation and infants who were rehospitalized during 8 weeks after discharge had significantly higher N-DAT total and subscale scores than infants born at ≥31 weeks or not rehospitalized. Also, mothers who reported experiencing problems with infant care at home had significantly higher N-DAT Competencies subscale scores than mothers who did not report problems. The N-DAT is a reliable and valid instrument to evaluate the risks related to discharge of preterm infants so that nurses can provide parents with the necessary knowledge, skills, and resources they need prior to discharge.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: The sample consisted of 120 children and their parents. Data were collected during, at the beginning, and at the end of the 3-month monitoring period using four forms and a quality of life scale. After an initial evaluation, approaches to control symptoms and asthma triggers and measures that might be taken for them were taught to the children and parents. The children recorded the conditions of trigger exposure, experience of disease symptoms, their effects on daily activities, and therapeutic implementations on a daily basis. RESULTS: During the 3-month monitoring period, the number of days when the children were exposed to triggers (p=0.000) and experienced disease symptoms decreased to a statistically significant level (p=0.006). Majority of domestic triggers disappeared, but those stemming from the structure of the house and non-domestic triggers indicated no change (p>0.05). Moreover, 30.8% of the children applied to a physician/hospital/emergency service, 4.2% of the children were hospitalized, and 30% of them could not go to school. The number of times when the children applied to a physician/hospital/emergency (p=0.013), the number of times they used medicines (p=0.050), and the number of days they could not go to school (p=0.002) decreased at a statistically significant level, and their quality of life increased (p=0.001). CONCLUSION: Asthma training and monitoring program decreased children's rate of experiencing asthma symptoms and implementations of therapeutic purposes and increased their life quality.

Method: A descriptive study with a research sample composed of 103 families of children with neuromuscular diseases. The questionnaire form was developed by the researcher and used to collect data, including questions about physical and psycho-social problems; home care needs of children and the family burden at home care. Data was collected within 8 months. For analyzing the data, percentage distributions and Chi-square (Pearson, Fisher) tests were used. Results: Among the children, 17.5% were unable to use lower extremities and 68.9% were unable to use lower and upper limbs; 48 (46.6%) used wheelchairs and/or orthesis; 68% did not practice physical exercise; 18.4% of them were receiving respiration therapy. Almost all of the children had some depressive symptoms. Among the relatives, 87.6% had depressive symptoms, 85.4% presented physical problems and 70.8% referred social isolation. Half of them had problems with their spouses and other children; 51.5% of the participants did not have any emotional support source. Conclusion: In Turkey, there is not an effective home care system, rehabilitation and polyclinic services which include emotional and social support. However, findings of this study demonstrate the needs of families and children for such services and how they are important for increasing their quality of life.
