    Unexpected Event: Having an Infants With Cleft Lip And/Or Palate
    (Wiley, 2021) Cinar, Sevil; Ay, Ayse; Boztepe, Handan; Gurlen, Eda
    This study aimed to determine the difficulties that the mothers of infants with a cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) go through, the problems they encounter in this process, and how they perceive the support of healthcare professionals, families, and friends. The study used a phenomenological approach from qualitative research methods. The study sample included 18 mothers of 0 to 3-month-old infants with CL/P. The data were collected using socio-demographic information form and semi-structured interview form. The data obtained from the interviews were evaluated using content and thematic analysis approaches. On the basis of the interviews conducted with mothers of infants with CL/P, the following themes emerged: (a) "unexpected event: having an infant with CL/P," (b) "using social media," (c) "stigma," and (d) "uncertainty of long-term treatment." In this study, it was determined that mothers experienced shock, confusion, sadness, and disappointment in this process; therefore, they used social media to seek support from the families as well as conducted research on the disease that involved a lot of uncertainty due to long-term treatments. The present study can help healthcare professionals, who play a role in the care and treatment of infants with CL/P, to understand and know what mothers need in the preoperative period.

    Determining the Factors Affecting Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting in Children With Cancer
    (W.B. Saunders, 2023) Ay,A.; Boztepe,H.; Özbay,S.Ç.; Yılmaz,P.; Karadavut,B.; Burhanoğulları,D.; Akyüz,C.
    Purpose: We evaluated the factors affecting chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in children with cancer. Design and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 62 children aged 9 to 18 years old with a solid tumor who received chemotherapy for the first time, and their parents. Data were collected using a data collection form, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children, the Beck Anxiety Inventory, the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Baxter Retching Faces Scale. Data were analyzed using Spearman's correlation and logistic regression analyses. Results: Risk factors related to the child, treatment, and parent were examined. Child-related factors were determined as diagnosis (odds ratio [OR] = 5.5), time since diagnosis (OR = 1.9, OR = 4.7), pretreatment anxiety of the child (r = 0.439, r = 0.422), and past experience of nausea and vomiting before treatment (OR = 1.2). Treatment-related factors involved anti-emetic prophylaxis (OR = 4.9, OR = 9.2). Parent-related factors included pretreatment anxiety of the parent (r = 0.271, r = 0.287), accommodation (OR = 5.5), not eating (OR = 1.2, OR = 1.3), and bad smell (OR = 1.2), which were described amongst parents' as factors that trigger CINV. Conclusions: The occurrence of CINV is significantly affected by child-, treatment-, and parent-related risk factors. Practice implications: Pediatric nurses should create an environment for children and their parents to reduce their anxiety and provide basic knowledge and skills about the management of CINV. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.

    Anxiety and Depression After Cesarean: Non-Pharmacological Evidence Based Practices;
    (Dokuz Eylul University, 2022) Terzioğlu,F.; Gençbaş,D.; Boztepe,H.; Doğu,N.; Akdeniz,C.; Yüceer,B.
    The purpose of this review is to examine the non-pharmacological evidence-based practices of anxiety and depression after a cesarean section delivery. Postpartum anxiety and depression have increased in the last decade, the rates of postpartum depression are around 13% worldwide. In the postpartum period, women may experience anxiety and depression due to the operation they have undergone; such as being in an unfamiliar environment, facing new technological equipment and encounters with the medical teams, the post-operative pain, the new roles women undertake as mothers. One of the factors that increase anxiety and depression in the postpartum period is the type of delivery. In Turkey, the rate of cesarean delivery is comparatively high, which is approximately 52%. Anxiety and depression after cesarean section develop due to fear and concern such as the complications that may occur during and after the mother's anesthesia, the possibility delaying breastfeeding her baby, and experiencing pain. Non-pharmacological evidence-based applications such as reiki, acupressure, hand and foot massage, yoga, reflexology, aromatherapy, skin to skin care, nursing care protocols were found to be effective in studies conducted to reduce anxiety and depression after cesarean-section. Nurses who have critical roles and responsibilities in pre-and post-cesarean care practices are recommended to include these evidence-based non-pharmacological practices in routine care practices. © 2022, Dokuz Eylul University.

    (Wiley, 2023) Kudubes, Asli Akdeniz; Semerci, Remziye; Ozbay, Sevil Cinar; Ay, Ayse; Boztepe, Handan
    Background/objectivesIt is important to determine the educational needs of pediatric oncology nurses in order to maximize and implement nursing care interventions. Therefore, this study aims to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool to determine pediatric oncology nurses' educational needs and examine its psychometric properties. Design/methodsThis methodological study was conducted with 215 pediatric oncology nurses in Turkey between December 2021 and July 2022. Data were collected with the "Nurse Information Form" and "Pediatric Oncology Nurses' Educational Needs Scale." IBM SPSS 21.0 and IBM AMOS 25.0 software programs were used for data analysis, and descriptive statistics were used to analyze numeric variables. Exploration and confirmatory factor analyses were performed to determine the scale's factorial structure. ResultsThe factorial analysis was used to test the structural validity of the scale. A five-factor structure consisting of 42 items was developed. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for "Illness" was .978, "Chemotherapy and Side Effect" was .978, "Another Therapy and Side Effect" was .974, "Palliative Care" was .967, "Supportive Care" was .985, and the total score was .990. Fit indices resulting from the study were chi(2)/SD: 3.961, root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA): 0.072, goodness-of-fit index (GFI): 0.95, comparative-of-fit index (CFI): 0.96, and normed fit index (NFI): 0.95. ConclusionThe Pediatric Oncology Nurses' Educational Needs Scale is a valid and reliable scale for pediatric oncology nurses to determine their educational needs.

    Communication Experiences of Nursing Students With Children and Their Families: a Qualitative Study
    (2023) Boztepe, Handan; Çınar, Sevil; Özbay, Sevıl Çınar
    Background: The clinical setting is often a stressful and anxiety-provoking environment. In particular, caring for pediatric patients causes students to experience anxiety in the clinic. It is extremely important to learn how to communicate effectively with the child’s parents and family members in overcoming this difficulty and providing effective care. Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the communication experiences of students with children and their parents during the clinical education of pediatric nursing course. Methods: The phenomenological approach, which is a qualitative research method, was used in the study. The population of the study comprised fourth-year students from the Faculty of Nursing, who accomplished the pediatric nursing course. The study was con ducted with 15 students, who agreed to participate voluntarily, via in-depth interviews. Results: The themes emerging as a result of the interviews conducted with the students were “difficulties and facilitators,” “family-centered care experiences,” and “acquisitions.” In the study, most of the student nurses stated that they felt fear, restlessness, and anxiety when they first came to the service, and they had difficulty in communicating with the hos pitalized child and the family. The students stated that they had difficulties in communica tion especially due to the age and diagnosis of the children. Conclusion: The study revealed that it is necessary to develop students’ skills of commu nication with children and their families. Accordingly, it is necessary to increase the com munication skills of student nurses by organizing trainings. It is recommended to create interactive environments where student nurses can express their difficulties.

    Maternal Pain Management at Home in Children with Cancer: A Turkish Sample
    (Elsevier Science inc, 2020) Boztepe, Handan; Ay, Ayse; Akyuz, Canan
    Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to examine maternal pain management in children with cancer and the associated factors. Design and methods: The present work is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. Data for the study were obtained from mothers of children in the age group of 0 to 18 years undergoing treatment for solid tumors in Pediatric Oncology Service and Outpatient Clinics (n = 112 ). We used a questionnaire on parental pain management practices at home, the knowledge about pain and analgesic drugs, Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) to collect the data. Results: Several mothers taking part in the study reported various misconceptions about the assessment of children's pain, analgesic drugs, and usage of limited non-pharmacological methods for managing pain in children with cancer. No significant relationships were found between mothers' pain management practices, knowledge of pain assessment and analgesic drugs, and mothers' and children's sociodemographic characteristics or mothers' pain catastrophizing and anxiety about their own pain. Conclusions: The findings of the study revealed that the majority of mothers of children with cancer had misconceptions regarding knowledge of pain assessment and analgesic drugs; these misconceptions potentially lead to manage children's pain associated with cancer ineffectively. Findings indicate mothers' information and support needs for children's cancer pain management in the home settings. Practice implications: A further understanding of barriers to parental pain management in children with cancer in the home setting will contribute immensely in developing appropriate management practices.

    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
    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.

    Predictors of Parenting Stress in Parents of Children With Cancer
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021) cinar, Sevil; Boztepe, Handan; Ay, Ayse; Yilmaz, Pinar; Gullu, Hafize; Karadavut, Burcu; Akyuz, Canan
    Purpose: In the present study, we investigated the parenting stress experienced by parents of children with cancer and the influencing factors. Method: This was a cross-sectional and descriptive correlational study that consisted of parents of 136 children in the age group of 0-18 years who were followed up for cancer in the outpatient clinics and services of a university hospital in Turkey. Parenting Stress Index, Burden Interview, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Marital Life Satisfaction Scale, and Ways of Coping Questionnaire were used to collect the data. Results: No statistically significant difference was found between the parenting stress mean scores and gender of the parents of children with cancer (t = -0.350; P = 0.727). The results of the present study showed that the economic status (t = -4.16; P = 0.000), parents' physical (t = 3.606; P = 0.000) and mental health status after the child is diagnosed (t = 5.647; P = 0.000), accompanying mental health problems of the child (t = 2.567; P = 0.011), and diagnosis of children at a young age (t = -2.776; P = 0.006) increased the parenting stress of the parents. Conclusions: Nursing interventions can reduce parental stress by providing sufficient care and support during the disease process.
