Kesitsel türde olan çalışmanın verileri 15.11.2019-15.03.2020 tarihleri arsında bireysel bilgilerin yer aldığı kişisel tanıtım formu, Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği, Doğum Sonu Konfor Ölçeği ile yüz yüze 544 loğusadan toplanmıştır. İstatistiksel değerlendirmede tanımlayıcı istatistiklerle birlikte Pearson korelasyon analizi kullanıldı. Çalışmaya katılan loğusaların %37.5'i 30 yaş üstü ve % 52'si üçten fazla gebeliğe sahipti. Çalışmamızda, loğusaların Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği toplam ve Doğum Sonu Konfor Ölçeği toplam puanı arasında anlamlı pozitif yönlü düşük düzeyde bir ilişki olduğu saptanmıştır (r=0,140). Çalışma sonucunda loğusaların gebelik döneminde algıladıkları sosyal destek düzeyi arttıkça doğum sonu konfor düzeyinin arttığı saptandı. Sosyal desteğin önemli bir parçası olan ebeler, gebelik doğum ve doğum sonu dönem boyunca gebenin destek düzeyini saptamalı kadınlara eğitim, danışmanlık gibi kadının konforunu arttıracak her türlü konuda destek ve bilgiyi sağlamalıdır.

The sample of this descriptive cross-sectional study consists of 665 students studying in the midwifery and nursing department of a state university in Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey and agreeing to participate in the study as volunteers. Data of the study were collected using "Descriptive Characteristics Form for Students", "Communication Skills Assessment Scale (CSAS)" and "Emphatic Tendency Scale". Obtained data were assessed by using number, percent, mean and standard deviation as well as Mann-Whitney U Test, Kruskal-Wallis Test, t test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation test. The average age of students participating in the study was 20.81 ± 1.80 years, and 53.8% of them expressed that the society they lived in had a restrictive perspective on the concept of sexuality. A great majority of students think that cultural structure and religious beliefs are significant factors in the formation of sexual taboos. The study found out that 64% of the students could not ask the questions in the reproductive pattern section of the care plan, most of them did not want to be asked it themselves, and 70.5% of them were uncomfortable with asking these questions due to privacy. Approximately fifty-six percent (56.1%) of students thought that the concept of sexuality did not fall within a nurse's responsibilities. Approximately fiftysix percent (56.1%) of them did not want to focus on the subject more during courses. Average total score of students on CSAS was 98.74 ± 13.05, average total score on the emphatic tendency scale was 67.31 ± 7.98 and a positive correlation was found between both scores. In this study, it was detected that students left the sexuality/reproductive pattern section in the care plan empty, therefore they did not/could not handle a patient's potential problems related to sexuality/reproductive pattern.

Method This study was designed as a descriptive cross-sectional study. The study was conducted at a hospital's chest diseases clinic located in the western of Turkey. The sample comprises 62 female patients hospitalized with diagnosis of COPD. A questionnaire form, the Medical Research Council Scale (MRCS), the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) and the Sexual Quality of Life-Female (SQOL-F) applied to the women with COPD. Frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Kruskal Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U Test, correlation and regression analysis, were used for the data analysis process. Findings The decrease in the education level of the participants who have any accompanying chronic disease, and experience symptoms during sexual intercourse negatively affects their quality of sexual life. The quality of sexual life decreases as age, duration of marriage and duration of illness increase (p < 0.05). The results of the linear regression analysis carried out to predict the quality of sexual life of women with COPD shown that the increase in mMRC and CAT significantly decreased the quality of sexual life. These variables explain 58% of the variance. Conclusions The result of the study shown the sexual quality of life of women with COPD was impaired and COPD symptoms affect them.

Data were collected before discharge with a questionnaire composed of 32 questions. Percentage distributions and Chi-square test were used in the evaluation of the data. Results: There was a significant relationship between fear of anesthesia and number of pregnancies (p=0.007) and between death during surgery and number of pregnancies in the preoperative period (p=0.027). The relationship between knowing type of surgery and knowing when sutures would be removed was also significant in post-operative period (p=0.045). In addition, there was a significant relationship between women's living only with their husbands and worrying about not having children anymore (p=0.032). Conclusion: The women's information needs were high and women's self-perceptions had been affected negatively after hysterectomy.It is recommended that nurses, primarily health professionals should have adequate knowledge on comprehensive care and psychosocial support after hysterectomy.

Breast self-examination knowledge evaluation forms developed by Maurer (1997) were used in the research and were evaluated on a 100 point scale. Paired t-test and McNemar's Test statistics were employed. The participants scored an average of 46.5 (14.0%) on knowledge on breast self-examination before training, but 77.4 (11.0%) one month after education and 76.7 (9.52%) after six months. There was a clear significant difference between these knowledge levels (p<0.05). Similarly, while the rate for systematic practice of breast self-examination among women was 30.8% before training it increased to 47.8% afterwards. Again the difference was significant (p<0.05). Online education is an effective method for teaching breast self-examination to women.
