Öğe Determining the organizational silence behavior of nursing faculty members and affecting factors(sağlık ve hemşirelik yönetimi dergisi, 2022) Yalçın, Begüm; Ayan, GüzinAim: The purpose of this study was to determine the organizational silence behaviors of nursing faculty members and the factors that influence them. Method: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted using an online survey of 127 nursing faculty members working in Turkey. The data were gathered using the Organizational Silence Behavior Scale and a 14-item survey for sociodemographic and job-related information and preferences for speaking up. Results: The participants obtained the highest mean score from “acquiescence silence” (3.33±.89), and the result of the multiple regression analysis revealed that “remaining silent because academic career would be negatively affected” had the greatest influence on the subscales of the Organization Silence Behavior Scale. Conclusion: Nursing faculty play an important role in empowering future nurses. To make valuable contributions to nursing, all faculty members should work in an environment without fear and inhibit organizational silence. To improve the nursing profession, deans/directors and policymakers in nursing should support open communication.Öğe Does being cancer patient or family caregiver of cancer patient effect bone marrow donation awareness?(Oxford Univ Press, 2018) Bağçivan, G.; Özen, Nurten; Bayrak, D.; Çınar, F. I.Extensive literature from Turkey and around the world have described factors associated with donating bone marrow and knowledge about bone marrow donation. However to the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that focused on awareness of cancer and non-cancer patients and their family caregivers as well bone marrow donation and transplantation. The aim of this study was to determine if there are any differences between cancer and non-cancer patients and their family caregivers’ awareness of bone marrow donation and transplantationÖğe Initial psychometric evaluation of the physical health attitude scale and a survey of mental health nurses(Wiley, 2020) Özaslan, Zeynep; Bilgin, Hülya; Uysal Yalçın, Suna; Haddad, MarkAccessible summaryWhat is known on the subject? A clear association exists between serious mental illness (SMI) and poor physical health. Individuals with SMI have markedly higher risks for mortality and morbidity. Mental health nurses play an important role in enhancing service users' mental and physical well-being. The attitudes of mental health nurses towards physical health care have been explored in the western part of the world. However, cross-country differences should be determined to reveal the importance of this global issue. What the paper adds to existing knowledge? This study adds new data to the literature on the Physical Health Attitude Scale's (PHASe) validity and nurses' attitudes when working in acute mental health services in different cultures. Nurses in acute mental health wards mostly focus on the basic physiological indicators of patients' existing physical health problems, so health promotion practices such as sexual health and eye/dental examinations are neglected for individuals with SMI. Nurses' higher level of confidence about their delivery of physical health care is due to their familiarity with basic nursing practices (e.g. monitoring blood pressure and checking blood glucose levels). Differences that exist between countries in relation to smoking habits are probably due to different regulations. What are the implications for practice? To improve patients' physical healthcare outcomes, nurses should be provided with additional training and supervision to strengthen their skills and confidence. Nurses' perceived need for additional training reflects the importance of physical health care in mental health settings, in which training could substantially improve patient outcomes. Authors believe that standard protocols must be established in acute psychiatric care to eliminate obstacles to holistic patient care. Training needs of mental health nurses on health promotion practices should be considered by administrators of mental health settings. Nurses play an important role in improving the physical health of individuals with serious mental illnesses. The literature on the attitudes of mental health nurses towards physical health care provides a small amount of data. Assessing trends in nurses' attitudes through suitable surveys is important to ensure holistic care. This study sought to examine the Turkish version of the Physical Health Attitude Scale's (PHASe) validity and reliability and to survey Turkish mental health nurses' attitudes towards physical health care. The sample consisted of 174 nurses working in acute psychiatric wards. Firstly, the psychometric properties of the scale were analysed using factor analysis and measures of internal consistency and reliability. Then, the survey results of the attitudes of mental health nurses towards the physical health of patients with serious mental illnesses were determined using the Physical Health Attitude Scale (PHASe). The translated PHASe functioned best as a 24-item version and 4-factor solution that explains 51.3% of the variance. The internal consistency value was 0.83. The respondents' attitudes were generally positive about their role. There was less agreement for the involvement of nurses in practices of health promotion, such as sexual health, eye and/or dental examinations. The nurses surveyed also tended to use smoking for therapeutic purposes. Mental health nurses' knowledge and attitudes should be enhanced by additional training in the ways of meeting patients' biopsychosocial needs. Obstacles to physical health care can be removed by implementing standard protocols nationwide. IntroductionAim/QuestionMethodResultsImplications for practiceÖğe Evaluation of operating room staff's attitudes related to patient safety: A questionnaire study(Elsevier Inc, 2019) Önler, Ebru; Akyolcu, NerimanPurpose: This research was performed in order to evaluate the safety attitudes of operating room staff according to some personal and professional characteristics and their inter-professional relationships which can affect safety attitudes. Method: Data were collected from 290 operating room staff including nurses, anesthetists, and surgeons at the two university hospitals in Turkey. A Turkish translation of SAQ-OR and employee information form were used to collect data. Results: The following factors significantly contributed to an increase in safety attitudes among operating room staff: having worked 11 years or more, working only in the day time, and working in operating rooms that have 2–5 surgery per day. Also, operating room staff exhibit a higher level of team collaboration and communication with their colleagues and nurses than other operating room staff. Conclusion: Patient safety culture and teamwork between OR staff should be improved. © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
