Article Citation - Scopus: 1Determination of the Knowledge Levels of Nurses Regarding Central Venous Catheter Care(Galenos Publ House, 2022) Turkkan, Hicran; Ayyildiz, Tulay Kuzlu; Sonmez, MunevverIntroduction: It is important that pediatric nurses have sufficient knowledge in the prevention of central catheter-related blood circulation infections. This study was carried out to determine knowledge levels of the nurses, who were working in pediatric clinics, regarding central venous catheter care.Methods: The universe of the study was composed of 118 nurses, who were working in pediatric clinic of a public hospital (n=50) and a training hospital (n=68) between May-June 2019. No sample was selected; and 88 nurses, who were eligible for the sample and study criteria and approved to participate during the dates of data collection (May-June 2019) were included in the study. 75% of the universe was reached. Personal information form for the identification of demographic characteristics and working lives of the nurses and the form for the knowledge levels of the nurses regarding central venous catheter care were used to collect data.Results: At the end of statistical assessment, central venous catheter care mean score of nurses was found to be 8.35+2.36 (0-12). In addition, it was determined that no significant differences were found between central venous catheter scores of the nurses based on age, sex, marital status, working institution, working department, working year and their states of providing central venous catheter care (p>0.05). A significant difference was detected between nurses' states of having knowledge and education regarding central venous catheter and their central venous catheter scores (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was found that the knowledge points of the nurses for central venous catheter care were insufficient. It is recommended to increase in-service training in line with the protocol/procedure/ instructions regarding central venous catheter care.Article Citation - WoS: 2Perceptions of Turkish Nursing Students on Nursing Diagnoses(Marmara Univ, inst Health Sciences, 2022) Sonmez, Munevver; Kisacik, Oznur GurlekObjective: This study aimed to determine how Turkish nursing students' perceived nursing diagnosis. Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out with 655 nursing students in the Departments of Nursing in the Health Sciences Faculties of two universities, in the Aegean and western Black Sea Region, between 15 February and 5 April 2020. The Students Information Form and Perceptions of Nursing Diagnosis Scale were used for data collection. The independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA test, and the Mann-Whitney U-test with Bonferroni-correction were used to determine the differences between the groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the effects of independent variables Results: The mean age of the nursing students was 21.12 +/- 1.39; 76.6% of them were female and 36.8% were in the second-year. 53.7% of the nursing students reported that they had difficulty in making nursing diagnoses. The overall Perceptions of Nursing Diagnosis Survey score of the nursing students was found to be 2.46 +/- 051. Statistically significant difference was found between Perceptions of Nursing Diagnosis Survey scores in terms of gender (p=0.012), the necessity of nursing diagnosis (p<0.001), and having sufficient knowledge about nursing diagnosis (p=0.019). Conclusions: The findings of this study have revealed that Turkish nursing students' perceptions of nursing diagnoses are positive. It is important that use effective teaching methods in teaching nursing diagnoses in fundamental nursing education, to give more importance to nursing diagnoses. It is recommended to plan qualitative studies to in-depth examine students' perceptions with randomized controlled studies involving innovative educational interventions in the future.
