    (Wiley, 2020) Bragadottir, Helga; Burmeister, Elizabeth A.; Terzioglu, Fusun; Kalisch, Beatrice J.
    Aim To describe the association of missed nursing care and to identify the determinants of satisfaction with current position for direct-care nurses. Background Missed nursing care and job satisfaction are important issues regarding quality patient care and safety in health care, globally. Method This was a cross-sectional quantitative study usingMISSCARE Surveydata. Participants were 7,079 nursing staff providing direct patient care in hospitals in Australia, Iceland, Turkey and the USA. Multivariable nested models were used to identify the relationship between missed nursing care and nurses' satisfaction with current position. Results More missed nursing care was associated with less satisfaction with current position. Other determinants of job satisfaction included country, nursing experience, overtime worked, adequacy of staffing and the number of shifts missed during the previous 3 months. Conclusion(s) Internationally, more missed nursing care is associated with less nursing job satisfaction and is influenced by work experience, overtime worked, levels of staffing and absenteeism. Implications for Nursing Management This study identifies that the association between missed nursing care and satisfaction with nursing position is of global concern. Other factors requiring the attention of nurse managers are staffing levels, absenteeism and work experience.

    (Wiley, 2019) Topal, Cansu Akdag; Terzioglu, Fusun
    Purpose The purpose of this study is to determine the levels of anxiety, depression, social support, and nursing care needed by women undergoing therapeutic abortion. Designs and Methods Sixty women were administered a sociodemographic form, the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale and the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale. Results More than half of the women experienced anxiety (61.7%). Anxiety scores were high (10.8 +/- 3.7), and most of the women had depression (85.0%). Social support from family and friends of the women decreased the women's anxiety and depression levels significantly; social support from their partners also decreased the women's anxiety levels (P < 0.05). Practice Implications Support from family and friends after therapeutic abortion is a fundamental affective variable on anxiety scores.

    Nursing Students' Perceived Stress: Interaction With Emotional Intelligence and Self-Leadership
    (Wiley, 2022) Yildirim-Hamurcu, Sevda; Terzioglu, Fusun
    Purpose The aim of the current study was to determine how emotional intelligence and self-leadership levels could be related to perceived stress. Design and Methods A total of 341 nursing students were enrolled in this descriptive correlational study. Study measures included a sociodemographic form, Emotional Intelligence Evaluation Scale, Revised Self-Leadership Questionnaire, and Perceived Stress Scale for Nursing Students. Findings Results showed that ''assignments and workload'' as well as "taking care of patients" were the highest sources of stress in clinical training. The emotional intelligence and self-leadership levels had a significant negative correlation with the perceived stress. Practice Implications Perceived stress affects students' academic and social success negatively. Therefore, it is important to develop students' emotional intelligence levels, self-leadership perceptions.

    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.
