Article Citation - WoS: 1How Attitudes Towards E-Learning Affected the Academic Achievement During the Covid-19 Pandemic: an Example of a Nursing Skills Teaching(Anadolu Univ, 2023) Gurlek Kisacik, Oznur; Sonmez, Munevver; Ozdas, AzizeIt is known that the students' attitudes toward e-learning are an important factor in achieving the targeted learning achievement. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between attitudes toward e-learning and the academic achievements. This cross-sectional and correlational study was conducted with a total of 135 first-year nursing students. Data were collected via Student Information Form, General Attitudes toward E-Learning Scale, Vital Signs Skills Laboratory Practice Assessment Videos. Two-Way ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The total mean score of the first-year NSs' general attitude scale toward e-learning was found to be 52.58 +/- 15.93. A statistically negative correlation was found between the "avoidance of e-learning" factor and the NSs' vital signs skills general achievement scores (r= -0.185; p= .035). Gender (beta 1= 5.399, p= 0.001), receiving adequate counseling and help on using the e-learning platform (beta 1= 4.895, p= 0.022) and avoidance of e-learning (beta 1= -0.222 p= 0.046) explained 20.9% of the variance in vital signs overall achievement score. The results showed that negative attitudes and negative satisfaction with e-learning may lead to a decrease in e-learning academic achievement.Article Effects of Cold Therapy on Pain and Anxiety During Needle Removal From Implanted Ports(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2023) Bahar, Arzu; Aktas, Demet; Sonmez, MunevverThis study was conducted as a quasiexperimental, single-blind study to examine the effect of cold therapy on pain and anxiety during port needle removal. Patients in the experimental group received cold therapy 10 minutes before port needle removal. Patients in the control group received no intervention before port needle removal. Data were collected using the visual analog scale (VAS) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). After cold therapy was applied to the patients in the experimental group, the second and third VAS scores were found to be statistically significant and lower than those in the control group (P < .05). There was no statistically significant difference between the anxiety levels of the experimental group and the control group before cold therapy (P> .005). However, the STAI scores of the experimental group were found to be statistically and significantly lower than those of the control group after cold therapy (P < .05). This study determined that cold therapy before port needle removal reduces pain and anxiety. Cold therapy may be recommended as an effective nonpharmacological pain control method with ease of application to prevent pain induced by port needle removal.
