Article The effect of ethnocentrism and moral sensitivity on intercultural sensitivity in nursing students, descriptive cross-sectional research study(Nurse Education Today, 2021) Yaşar, Beril Nisa; Kaya, Yunus; Arslan, Sevda; Erbaş, Atiye; Küçükkelepçe, Gürhan ErkuşBackground: Factors affecting intercultural sensitivity and care are becoming an increasingly important issue due to ethnic diversity. Nurses play a crucial role in care and therefore should keep up with this trend and improve their intercultural sensitivity. Objective and design: This descriptive cross-sectional study investigated the effects of ethnocentrism and moral sensitivity on intercultural sensitivity in nursing students. Methods and participants: Data were collected using a demographic characteristics questionnaire and the Intercultural Sensitivity Scale, Generalized Ethnocentrism Scale, and Moral Sensitivity Scale. The sample consisted of 1343 nursing students. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to determine correlations between scale scores. Multiple linear regression was used to determine the effects of ethnocentrism, moral sensitivity, and demographic characteristics on intercultural sensitivity. Results: Intercultural sensitivity was found to be negatively correlated with ethnocentrism and positively correlated with moral sensitivity. Ethnocentrism predicted intercultural sensitivity more than moral sensitivity. Ethnocentrism and moral sensitivity explained 16.8% of the total variance of intercultural sensitivity. However, ethnocentrism affected intercultural sensitivity more than moral sensitivity did (beta = −0.406). Conclusion: Nursing education should adopt strategies to reduce ethnocentrism by helping students develop cultural competence and intercultural sensitivity. Such education can equip nurses to provide higher quality care to patients of different cultural backgrounds.Conference Object Effects of Maternal Tobacco Smoke or Alpha Lipoic Acid on Puberty Onset, Estrous Cycle and Gonadotropin Levels in Female Rats(KARGER, 2018) Erdem Güzel, Elif; Yardimcı, Ahmet; Kaya, Nihat; Tektemur, Ahmet; Akkoç, Ramazan Fazıl; Erdem Güzel, Elif; Canpolat, Sinan; Ozan, EnverVarious environmental factors are known to affect puberty onset. However, there are few studies in literature about how maternal tobacco smoke (ts) or alpha lipoic acid (ala) affect the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis at peripheral or central levels in rats. This study aimed to investigate effects of maternal tobacco smoke or alpha lipoic acid on puberty onset, estrous cycle and serum gonadotropin levels in female rats. Adult female spraque-dawley rats were used. All animals were randomly divided into 4 groups (control, ts, ts+ala and ala) and each group consisted of 7 rats. All ts rats were exposed to ts (20 gram\day, for one hour twice a day) and all ala rats received daily oral ala (20 mg/kg) during 8 week. Afterwards all rats were impregnated, ts or ala treatments continued during pregnancy. All treatments ended with birth and later newborn female rats were selected for each group (n=7). Puberty onset was monitored by examination of vaginal opening in female rat pups. Subsequently, estrous cycle was conducted daily for 15 days and determined by examination of the vaginal smear cytology. Also, serum fsh and lh levels were measured using elisa method at the end of the experiment. There was significantly advanced on puberty onset day for ts group (p<0.05). There was a significantly increase in pubertal weight in ala group compared to control group (p<0.001). The mean total number of estrous cycles and average duration of metestrus, diestrus, proestrus or estrus phases were not significantly different in all treatments groups compared to control group. There was no any significant change in serum fsh levels, but serum lh levels were significantly increased in all treatment groups compared to control group (p<0.05). Present study showed that maternal tobacco smoke or alpha lipoic acid may affect hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis differently in rats.
