Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 19Medical Device-Related Pressure Injuries: Knowledge Levels of Nurses and Factors Affecting These(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2022) Sonmez, Munevver; Sönmez, Münevver; Bahar, Arzu; Sönmez, Münevver; Nursing; NursingAim: The knowledge level of nurses plays a key role in preventing medical device-related pressure injuries. This research aimed to investigate the knowledge levels of nurses with regard to medical device-related pressure injuries and the factors affecting these. Materials and methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 355 nurses between December 15, 2020 and March 31, 2021. Data were collected using the Nurse Information Form and the Medical Device-Related Pressure Injuries Knowledge Questionnaire. Results: The mean score of the nurses for the Medical Device-Related Pressure Injuries Knowledge Questionnaire was 22.11 +/- 5.79. The nurses obtained the highest score from the "Description" sub-dimension of the test, whereas the lowest scores pertained to the "Staging" sub-dimension. Only 23.1% of the nurses stated that they had general knowledge about medical device-related pressure injuries. A significant difference was determined between the mean scores that the nurses got from the Medical Device-Related Pressure Injuries Knowledge Questionnaire and their gender, work experience in the intensive care unit, frequency of encountering a medical device-related pressure injuries and their previous training on such injuries. In addition, a positive relationship was determined between the level of knowledge about medical device-related pressure injuries and age and seniority. Results: It was concluded that the level of knowledge of nurses about medical device-related pressure injuries was insufficient. We therefore recommend that a regular training program be provided to nurses on medical device-related pressure injuries in order to reduce the incidence of these injuries and to provide a quality and safe care service to patients.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10The Effect of Knowledge Levels of Intensive Care Nurses About Pressure Injuries on Their Attitude Toward Preventing Pressure Injuries(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Korkmaz, Serap; Sönmez, Münevver; Sonmez, Munevver; Kisacik, Oznur Gurlek; Sönmez, Münevver; Nursing; NursingABS T R A C T Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the current knowledge levels of intensive care nurses about pressure injuries and their attitudes toward preventing pressure injuries, and to reveal the relationship between these variables. Materials and methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 152 nurses, working in the Adult Intensive Care Units of a Training and Research Hospital. Data were collected between 10.08.2021 and 31.11.2021 with the Patient Information Form, Modified Pieper Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test and Attitude toward Pressure Injury Prevention Scale. Frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, multiple logistic regression analysis and the structural equation modeling technique were used in the analysis of the study data. Results: The mean age of the nurses was 25.82 & PLUSMN; 3.42 years, 86.2% of them were female and 67.1% of them had a bachelor's degree. Total mean score of the Modified Pieper Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test of the intensive care nurses was found to be 32.58 & PLUSMN; 6.58. The knowledge score of 113 out of 152 nurses was & GE;60% or above. The total mean score of the Attitude toward Pressure Injury Prevention Scale was 42.00 & PLUSMN; 5.70 and a total of 76.97% (117 participants) of them were found to score 75% or above on the scale. The results of the regression analysis showed that educational degree, and status of having training about pressure injuries did not affect the total mean score of the Knowledge Test and the Attitude Scale. However, it revealed that the frequency of encoun-tering a patient with pressure injuries in the unit where they work has affected the total mean score of the scales significantly (p < 0.05). As per the results of the structural equation model, the Modified Pieper Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test scores of the nurses were found to have a statistically significant effect on the scores of the Attitude toward Pressure Injury Prevention Scale (p < 0.05). Conclusion: This study revealed that intensive care unit nurses had a positive attitude toward Pressure Injury Prevention and their knowledge was sufficient and that as the Modified Pieper Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test scores increase, their positive attitude toward Pressure Injury Prevention also increases.Article Hemodiyaliz Tedavisi Alan Hastalarda Öz-aşkınlık Durumu ve Yaşam Kalitesi(2023) Eraydın, Canan; Sönmez, Münevver; Erdoğan, ZeynepAmaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, hemodiyaliz tedavisi alan hastalarda kendini aşma durumunu ve yaşam kalitesinin değerlendirilmesidir. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel bir çalışmadır. Araştırmanın evrenini Zonguldak il merkezinde bulunan diyaliz merkezlerinde hemodiyaliz tedavisi gören tüm hastalar (n=380) oluşturmuştur. Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında “Kişisel Bilgi Formu”, “Reed’in öz-aşkınlık ölçeği” ve ‘’ EUROHIS-QOL (Avrupa Sağlık Etki Ölçeği) kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Bulgular: Reed’in öz-aşkınlık ölçeği ile Avrupa Sağlık Etki Ölçeği arasında oldukça pozitif bir ilişki saptandı (p, 0,000, r = 0.605). Ayrıca, bu çalışmada hemodiyaliz hastalarının yaşı ve gelir düzeyinin yaşam kalitesini ve kendini aşmayı etkilediği bulundu. Sonuç: Yaşam kalitesini ve kendini aşmayı artırmak için daha büyük örneklemlerde yapılacak deneysel ve randomize kontrollü çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak hemodializ hastalarında 60-74 yaş grubu ve gelir düzeyi düşük olan hastaların öz-aşkınlık durumunun kötü olduğu, 75 yaş ve üstü, düşük gelir düzeyine sahip ve çalışmayan hastaların ise yaşam kalitelerinin kötü olduğu saptanmıştır.
