(W B Saunders Co-elsevier inc, 2024) Serpici, Ayse; Dogan, Derya Akca; Ayik, Derya Bicak
Background: Violence against nursing students is a growing concern in nursing education, clinical practice, and professional development and needs to be managed. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between nursing students' personality traits and competence in workplace violence management. Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive-correlational study was conducted with 321 nursing students between 23 May 2022 and 14 June 2022. Results: A total of 20.9 % of the nursing students were exposed to violence in clinical practice areas. The personality traits of nursing students and their competence in workplace violence management showed a strong correlation. Increase in personality traits such as extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness resulted in an increase in competency in workplace violence management (p < 0.05). However, a negative correlation was observed between neuroticism and competency in workplace violence management (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Collaboration between academic institutions and healthcare organizations should be established to increase nursing students' competency in workplace violence management. The personality traits of the students should be evaluated by nurse educators, and education and counseling should be offered on managing violence, especially for students with high neuroticism levels.

The effect of frailty levels of older individuals on their mental well-being and depression levels
(Wiley, 2024) Ayik, Derya Bicak; Bıçak Ayık, Derya; Cengiz, Zeliha; Isik, Kevser; Department of Midwifery/ Ebelik Bölümü
Background: Frailty has become an important public health issue. This study was conducted to determine the effect of frailty levels of older individuals on their mental well-being and depression levels. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with a total of 325 older individuals aged 60 years and over. A demographic questionnaire form, the FRAIL Frailty Scale, the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale, and the Geriatric Depression Scale-Short Form were used to collect data. Data were evaluated using the SPSS 25.0 package program. Number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Chi-square, correlation, and multiple regression analyses were used. Results: The mean age of the older individuals was 69.56 +/- 7.75 years, and the variables of age, education level, income status, the person they were living with, regular medication use, forgetting to take medication, urinary incontinence, hospitalisation, and accidents were found to affect both frailty and depression (P < 0.05). There was a positive correlation between frailty and depression (r: 0.460, P < 0.001) and a negative correlation between mental frailty and well-being (r: -0.391, P < 0.001). Socio-demographic variables, depression, and mental well-being had a 40% effect on frailty (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Depression status and mental well-being level are related to frailty, so negativity in one of them negatively affects the other. In line with these results, it is recommended to determine the level of depression and mental well-being of older individuals with high risk of frailty, and according to the results of the research, to provide care and support regarding the predictors affecting frailty.
