Atılım University Department of Nursing opened in 2018. The department is among the few in our Turkey with a program that is 100% in English. In this aspect, the department is also the first and the only one in Ankara. Nurses are some of the key players among healthcare professionals protecting the health of individuals, families and the public, and offering care in line with the principles of holistic and family-based healthcare. Prepared with respect to the changes in Turkey and the world, as well as the developments in the global health sector, course content is presented through technological and innovative methods in education. Hybrid and simulation laboratories armed with cutting-edge equipment are used for skill training as an important portion of the education for nursing. As the field most in demand by nursing and midwifery schools in Turkey, our thesis graduate program for the field Obstetrics and Gynecology shall start in 2020. Holding pedagogical formation certificates and qualifications accredited nationally, and internationally, our academic staff not only offers training in professional skills (cognitive and psychomotor skills) and foreign languages to students, but also prepares students as health professionals for the future, making use of programs such as those on social responsibility, as well as student network activities and international exchange projects.

Abstract

PURPOSE: Evaluate the efficiency of the nursing care plan, applied with the use of NANDA-I, NOC, and NIC (NNN) linkages, for elderly women with incontinence who live in nursing homes. METHODS: A randomized controlled experimental design was applied. NNN linkages were prepared and applied for 12 weeks in an experimental group. NOC scales were evaluated again for two groups. RESULTS: A 0.5 NOC point change targeted in all elderly in the experimental group were provided between pretest-posttest scores. The experimental group had higher life quality and lower incontinence severity/symptoms than the control group. CONCLUSION: It is important that NNN linkages effective for solving the problems are used in different groups and with larger samples to create further evidence linking NNN.
