(W B Saunders Co-elsevier inc, 2022) Karadas, Canan; Topal, Cansu Akdag; Ozbay, Sevil cinar; Kanbay, Yalcin; Ay, Ayse; Nursing
Objective: This study aimed to investigate nursing students' levels of mindfulness and its effect on developing preventive health behaviors, and to examine the mediating role of COVID-19 risk perception on this effect. Design and measures: This study used a descriptive and correlational study design. Results: The level of mindfulness, accompanied by COVID-19 risk perception caused a.104-unit increase in developing preventive health behavior. Conclusions: The findings revealed that the indirect effect of the level of mindfulness on developing preventive health behavior was at a significant level; therefore, it is concluded that COVID-19 risk perception mediates the correlation between level of mindfulness. Practice implications: The present study is important to investigate nursing students' levels of mindfulness and the effect of these on developing preventive health behaviors.

Nursing Students' Views on Trauma-Informed Pediatric Nursing Care and Family-Centered Care
(W B Saunders Co-elsevier inc, 2023) Ozbay, Sevil Cinar; Boztepe, Handan; Boztepe, Handan; Kanbay, Yalcin; Boztepe, Handan; Nursing; Nursing
Purpose: We studied the views of nursing students on family-centered care (FCC) and their knowledge, opinions, self-rated competence, current practice, and perceived implementation barriers with regard to trauma-informed pediatric nursing care.Methods: This survey was a descriptive correlational study. The sample consisted of 261 nursing students, 3rd and 4th years, who had completed the Child Health and Diseases Nursing Course. The data were obtained using the "Student Information Form," "Family-Centered Care Attitude Scale," and "trauma-informed care (TIC) Provider Survey."Results: Nursing students were knowledgeable and held favorable opinions about TIC. The survey showed that students with higher levels and those with a hospitalization experience during childhood had higher scores regarding TIC. A positive relationship was found between the students' TIC to mean score and FCC attitude mean score.Conclusions: Nursing students are not competent to practice TIC, especially with pediatric patients. Therefore, they need to develop relevant skills for helping pediatric patients. Practice implications: Efforts to improve nursing students' trauma-informed pediatric care should highlight spe-cific skills related to helping pediatric patients manage emotional responses to difficult medical experiences. By integrating TIC into the baccalaureate curricula, nursing educators can provide the students with appropriate skills and facilities so that they can provide holistic and highly effective care to highly vulnerable patients.
The Pediatric Provider Communication Skills Assessment Scale
(Wiley, 2023) Boztepe, Handan; Ozbay, Sevil Cinar; Akcam, Aysun; Kanbay, Yalcin; Nursing
ProblemBuilding rapport and trust between healthcare professional and patient/parents would improve satisfaction of patient/parents. The purpose of this study was to develop "The Pediatric Provider Communication Skills Assessment Scale" in this study. MethodsA trial form, with linguistic and psychometric validation and consisting of 44 statements, was administered to a sample of 325 individuals. Data were collected between January 20 and October 22, 2021. The validity of the scale was concluded after examining its construct validity and internal validity. "Exploratory factor analysis" was used for determining construct validity, and "comparison of lower-upper groups" for internal validity. "Cronbach's & alpha; reliability coefficient" and "split half test consistency coefficient" were calculated for testing the reliability of the scale. FindingsThe Pediatric Provider Communication Skills Assessment Scale that we developed consists of one dimension and 20 items, and the variance it can explain was calculated as 62.3%. The Cronbach & alpha; reliability coefficient of the scale was calculated as 0.90, indicating high reliability. ConclusionsAccording to the findings, "The Pediatric Provider Communication Skills Assessment Scale" is a scale with features that can measure in a valid and reliable way, with high variance and a low number of items. The study aims to develop the "The Pediatric Provider Communication Skills Assessment Scale," and present it to the literature as a validated and reliable new objective measurement tool. This study will enable us to understand more about the complex communication processes involved in pediatric care and how these may influence care delivery.

Validity and Reliability of the Family Empowerment Scale for Parents of Children With Cleft Lip And/Or Palate
(Wiley, 2022) Boztepe, Handan; Cinar, Sevil; Kanbay, Yalcin; Acimis, Burcu; Ozgur, Figen; Terzioglu, Fusun; Nursing
Background Empowerment is recognized as a crucial concept in strengthening the position of parents in healthcare services. This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish Family Empowerment Scale (FES). Methods This methodological study was conducted between January and March 2021, with 348 family members actively caring for their children in the age group of 0-18 years with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P). The English FES was translated into Turkish using back translation and modified so that it is generic and convenient for all families. The construct validity, internal validity, internal consistency, and split-half test reliability and responsiveness of the Turkish FES were examined. Results The original FES structure with three factors (family, health services provided to the child and community participation) and 34 items was verified in Turkish culture. This obtained structure can explain 66% of the variance of the relevant concept. Scores of parents ranged between 34 and 170 points. Increasing scores indicated a positive significance regarding family empowerment. The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of the scale was calculated as 0.976. Conclusion The study findings and the goodness-of-fit values indicated that the FES and its Turkish version are a valid and reliable measurement instrument to be used in Turkish culture.
