Nurses’ attitudes toward spiritual care and death are influenced by their personal belief systems and world-views. The aim of this study is to reveal the attitudes of nursing students toward spiritual orientation and principles of dying with dignity. The study was conducted with the participation of 478 nursing students. As a result of the study, it was found that the average score of the students’ spiritual orientation scale was high and the average score of the assessment scale of attitudes toward the principles of dying with dignity was found to be moderate.

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of different simulation modalities on knowledge, skill, stress, satisfaction, and self-confidence levels of students receiving undergraduate education in three nursing schools. This was an experimental study. Students applied the scenario of “Respiratory Sounds Assessment” which was prepared according to three different simulation modalities. In the study, the standardized patient, high-fidelity simulation, and partial task trainer were used as simulation modalities. An increase was observed in postpractice knowledge levels of the three groups which had similar knowledge levels before the practice. Virtual Analog Scale stress levels of the students in the standardized patient group were higher than those of others. The students’ mean scores of satisfaction in learning were higher in the standardized patient group. The students in the partial task trainer group had lower scores of self-confidence in learning. Skill scores of the students were lower in the standardized patient practice than those in others. Simulation-based experiences give students the opportunity of experiencing situations they may experience in the actual practice beforehand. Therefore, this may increase their performance in real practices, as reality increases in the standardized patient group.

Aims This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Regret Intensity Scale, which assesses the regret experienced by nurses during the care process. Methods This methodological study was conducted with 402 nurses. Data were collected using the Nurse Information Form, Regret Intensity Scale and Elements of Regret Scale. Language and content validity were assessed using the Content Validity Index. Construct validity was examined through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, item-total score correlation, and Pearson correlation coefficient were used to assess reliability. Results Exploratory factor analysis ( n  = 193) showed a KMO value of 0.890 and a Bartlett’s test value of 1466.942 ( p  < 0.001). Factor loadings of the single-factor structure ranged from 0.737 to 0.865. Confirmatory factor analysis ( n  = 209) indicated good model fit (χ2/df = 2.338, RMSEA = 0.079, GFI = 0.95). The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.932 and all items ranged from 0.927 to 0.934. A statistically significant correlation was found with the Elements of Regret Scale ( r  = 0.490; p  < 0.001). Conclusion The Turkish version of the Regret Intensity Scale is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring the regret experienced by nurses in care processes. It is a practical tool for use in clinical practice and research to assess care-related regret in Turkish-speaking healthcare professionals.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate nursing students’ perceptions regarding nursing diagnoses and clinical decision-making skills level and to examine how these perceptions differ according to which nursing model was followed.Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, comparative study was conducted. The study was carried out in one nursing department in Istanbul province and one nursing high school in Çanakkale province, Turkey. A total sample of 257 students participated. A Structured Information Form, Perception of Nursing Diagnoses Survey and Clinical Decision Making in Nursing Scale were used to collect data.Results: 77.1% of the participants were women, with an average age of 19.09, and their average grade from the Fundamentals of Nursing course was 74.23 ± 9.41. The total of the PND score for the ADLs group was 2.45 ± 0.55, in the FHP group it was 2.31 ± 0.27. This difference in the incidence of value was not significant. The total of the CDMNS score means of the ADLs group was 147.44 ± 12.95, and the mean of the FHP group was 154.3 ± 12.29. A statistically significant difference was detected between the groups for the CDMNS score (p = 0.00). Conclusion: From the results, it can be concluded that the use of nursing diagnoses is positively perceived by nursing students and their clinical decision-making perceptions are in the process of development. Nursing models that are used in nursing education may affect clinical decision making.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of applying cold band treatment to migraineurs on the duration and severity of migraine headaches, and on migraine-specific life quality.Methods: Patients referred to neurology clinic and diagnosed with migraine by a neurologist were examined prospectively. A self-controlled research design was applied to minimize individual differences. The sample group participating in the study were monitored over the course of four migraine attacks: two before and two during application period.Results: Comparison of the mean values of pain duration for pre-application and application periods revealed no statistically significant difference (p>0.05). However, there was found to be a significant difference between mean pain intensity total scores (p<0.05). At 30th and 60th- minute points, it was noted that the mean value of the total pain scores for the application period decreased significantly (p<0.05). Also, it was recognized that the 24-hour Migraine Quality of Life Scale showed statistically significant increase in total score and in subscale scores when compared to pre-application period (p=0.0001).Conclusions: The application of a cold band to forehead was found to have a positive effect in reducing pain severity and also improving quality of life. 

Background Nursing students’ mindful attention awareness and empathic tendencies are essential for the sustainability of individualized care. Aim To investigate the mediating effect of empathic tendencies on the relationship between mindful attention awareness and perception of individualized care among nursing students. Methods This cross-sectional study involved 546 nursing students from two nursing faculties in Türkiye. Participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Individualized Care Scale, the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, and the Empathic Tendency Scale between September 2023 and June 2024. Correlation and mediation analyses were applied to investigate the meditating role of empathic tendencies in the correlations between mindful attention awareness and perception of individualized care. Results Mindful attention awareness had a significant effect on empathic tendencies ( β  = 1.516, p  = 0.001) and perception of individualized care ( β  = 4.601, p  = 0.002). Empathic tendencies positively affected the perception of individualized care ( β  = 0.627, p  = 0.001). Empathic tendencies played a mediating role between mindful attention awareness and perception of individualized care ( β  = 4.245, 95% confidence interval 0.002, 0.014). Conclusions The study adds evidence on the mechanisms of action between mindful attention awareness and perception of individualized care among nursing students and empathic tendency. This study’s results showed that empathic tendency mediates the relationship between mindful attention awareness and perception of individualized care. Clinical trial number Not applicable.

The growing number of people living with, through and beyond cancer poses a new challenge for sustainable survivorship care solutions. Digital health solutions which incorporate various information and communication technologies are reshaping healthcare; offering huge potential to facilitate health promotion, support healthcare efficiencies, improve access to healthcare and positively impact health outcomes. Digital health solutions include websites and mobile applications, health information technologies, telehealth solutions, wearable devices, AI-supported chatbots and other technologically assisted provision of health information, communication and services. The breadth and scope of digital health solutions necessitate a synthesis of evidence on their use in supportive care in cancer. This umbrella review will identify, synthesise, and compare systematic reviews which have evaluated the efficacy or effectiveness of digital solutions for adult cancer survivorship care with a particular focus on surveillance and management of physical effects, psychosocial effects, new cancer/ recurring cancers and supporting health promotion and disease prevention. An umbrella review of published systematic reviews will be undertaken to explore the types of digital health solutions used, their efficacy or effectiveness as a form of supportive care, and the barriers and enablers associated with their implementation. The umbrella review will be reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Overviews of Reviews (PRIOR) checklist. A search will be conducted across key databases. Records will be assessed independently by two review authors for eligibility against predefined criteria and will undergo two stage title, abstract and full text screening. All systematic reviews that meet the inclusion criteria will be assessed for quality using the AMSTAR 2 checklist with quality assessment and data extraction by two reviewers. The degree of publication overlap of primary studies across the included reviews will also be calculated and a mapping of the evidence will also be presented. As this research proposes using systematic reviews that are already published, ethical approval is not required. Results from this umbrella review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal where any significant deviations from the protocol will be justified.

Aim: This study was carried out in a descriptive and relation-seeking way in order to determine the physical activities and healthy lifestyle behaviors of the School of Health students and to examine relationship between those. Method: Target population of the study was formed with the School of Health students of a public university studying during 2016-2017 academic year. No sample was selected in the study. The sample consisted of students who were at university during the specified date range and who volunteered to participate in the study. The data were collected by using the \"Information Form\" developed by the researchers in the direction of the literature as well as the \"Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale\" (HLBS) and the \"International Physical Activity Questionnaire\" (IPAQ). Ethical permits required for the study were taken. Data obtained from the study were evaluated using SPSS 19 statistical package program. The data were assessed using descriptive statistical methods such as frequency, percent, mean and standard deviation, as well as Student t test and ANOVA test. Findings from the study were assessed at the level of p <0.05 significance and 95% confidence interval. Results: It was determined that 55% of the students who participated in the research belonged to Nursing, 24% Emergency Aid and Disaster Management (EADM) and 21% Midwifery departments. Although health responsibility and interpersonal relations subscales of HLBS showed a significant difference in favor of female students, it was found that physical activity subscale showed a significant difference in favor of male students. When the physical activity levels and HLBS score averages were compared, the scores of healthy lifestyle behaviors and physical activity subscale scores of the subjects with severe physical activity were found to be statistically significant. Conclusion: It was observed that the total score of healthy lifestyle behaviors and physical activity subscale scores of the School of Health students with severe physical activity were significant. It is believed that students' being aware of healthy lifestyle behaviors might contribute to their developing positive healthy lifestyle behaviors and observing the effects of healthy lifestyle behaviors in the individuals they provide care.
