The Effect Of Training According To Students' Learning Styles On Their Ability To Make Nursing Diagnoses: A Quasi-experimental Study;
(Ataturk Universitesi, 2024) Kurtgöz, A.; Keskin, H.; Keskin Kiziltepe, S.
Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of training according to students’ learning styles on their ability to make nursing diagnoses. Methods: The study was conducted as a one-group quasi-experimental study with pre and post-test design between April and September 2022. The research was carried out with 63 second-year students studying in the nursing department of a public university. The participants’ learning styles were identified using the VARK Learning Styles Inventory. The Case Diagnosis Form (pre-test) was applied to the participants and they were asked to determine the nursing diagnoses related to the case example. They were divided into groups according to their learning styles. They were trained on the nursing diagnoses and diagnosing process according to their learning styles. Three weeks after the training, the Case Diagnosis Form was applied to them again (post-test). Results: It was found that 71.4% of students had multiple learning styles, 74.6% had problems applying the nursing process, and 73% had problems determining nursing diagnoses. It was determined that the post-test mean scores of the participants increased significantly after the trainings compared to the pre-test mean scores (P<.001). There was no difference between pre and post-test mean scores according to the descriptive characteristics of the participants (P>.05). Conclusion: The training students according to their learning styles improved their ability to make nursing diagnoses. Taking into account the learning styles of students and using different teaching strategies in their education in line with this can help improve students' ability to make nursing diagnoses. © 2024, Ataturk Universitesi.

Intensive Care Nurses' Knowledge and Practices Regarding Medical Device-Related Pressure Injuries: a Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2024) Kurtgöz, A.; Kızıltepe, S.K.; Keskin, H.; Sönmez, M.; Aşatır, İ.
This study aims to determine the levels of knowledge and practices of intensive care nurses regarding medical device-related pressure injuries (MDRPIs). This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out between September 2023 and February 2024, involving 143 nurses working in intensive care units across three hospitals in Türkiye. The data were collected using the demographic form and the Medical Device-related Pressure Injuries Knowledge and Practice Assessment Tool (MDPI-ASSET). Of the nurses, 74.1% have encountered MDRPIs in their unit, 63.6% feel that their knowledge about MDRPIs is insufficient and 90.2% express a desire to receive training about MDRPIs. The participants' total mean MDPI-ASSET score was 11.12 (out of 21). The nurses achieved the highest mean score on the Aetiology/risk factors sub-scale and the lowest mean score on the Staging sub-scale. The analysis revealed significant differences in the mean MDPI-ASSET total scores among nurses based on the status of previous encounters with MDRPIs (t = 2.342; p = 0.021) and their feelings of responsibility for the development of MDRPIs (t = −2.746; p = 0.007). In this study, the knowledge and practices of intensive care nurses regarding medical device-induced pressure injuries were found to be inadequate. Given the frequent occurrence of MDRPIs in intensive care units, it is necessary to support nurses with continuous organizational-level training to improve the quality of care for critically ill patients. © 2024 The Author(s).

Liver disorders
(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2023) Unsar, S.; Ozdemir, O.; Keskin, H.; Tureyen, A.
Liver disease, including conditions such as hepatitis and cirrhosis, can result from damage or inflammation of liver cells and may be manifested by symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, ascites, and jaundice. The development of cirrhosis can lead to life-threatening complications. The treatment approach for liver disease depends on the underlying cause and includes a combination of lifestyle changes and medications, with nurses playing an active role in the management process. © 2023 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
