    Empowering caregivers in the radiotherapy process: the results of a randomized controlled trial
    (Springer, 2021) Uysal, Nese; Bagcivan, Gulcan; Ozkaraman, Ayse; Karaaslan Eser, Akile; Cetin, Ferhan; Caliskan, Behice Belkis; Eloz, Aygul
    Purpose The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile-assisted empowerment program developed specifically for caregivers of cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. Methods In this study, seventy-four individuals who gave care for cancer patients that received radiotherapy between September 2019 and May 2020 were randomized to receive a mobile-assisted empowerment program or standard care. The mobile-assisted empowerment program comprised of education and information related to the radiotherapy process, videos, activities, and question-and-answer modules to support caregivers during the radiotherapy process. Outcome measures were collected at baseline (day 1 of radiotherapy) and on day 21 and included caregiver demographics, distress, quality of life, and coping style using validated questionnaires. Results Compared with baseline, individuals' mean scores of distress were lower in the empowerment group than the control group (p< 0.001). General quality of life and sub-dimension mean scores were higher in the empowerment group than the control group (p <= 0.05). There was no difference in the coping style average scores (p >= 0.05) between the two groups. Conclusions This study supports the findings that a mobile-supported empowerment program reduced the level of caregiver distress and increased quality of life during their loved one's treatment with radiotherapy.

    'I Was too Tired to Show Compassion': A Phenomenological Qualitative Study on the Lived Compassion Fatigue Experiences of Nurses Working in Acute Inpatient Psychiatric Units
    (Wiley, 2024) Saribudak, Tugba Pehlivan; Caliskan, Behice Belkis
    Introduction: Psychiatric nurses are at risk of experiencing compassion fatigue. Despite the economic, emotional and physical effects of compassion fatigue, it has not been sufficiently investigated in the field of psychiatric nursing, and the lived experiences of compassion fatigue, in particular, require further investigation using qualitative methods. Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the lived compassion fatigue experiences of nurses working in psychiatric clinics using a phenomenological approach. Method: The study was conducted between December 2023 and February 2024 with 22 psychiatric nurses working in acute psychiatric clinics. Data were collected through individual, in-depth interviews, and analysed using Collaizi's seven-step descriptive analysis approach. Results: Data analysis revealed four main themes and eight subthemes: (1) being a psychiatric nurse (multifaceted role and benefits), (2) tiredness (from traumatic effects to depersonalisation and emotional isolation), (3) causes of compassion fatigue (patient derived, system and working environment derived) and (4) coping methods (individual and expectations). Discussion: Due to difficult patient profiles and adverse working conditions, psychiatric nurses experience compassion fatigue and may become desensitised to patient needs over time. Implications for Practice: Institutional support in the form of training for nurses on recognising and coping with compassion fatigue, as well as a safe and workload-balanced working environment, is essential.

    It was the first time someone had died before my eyes...: A qualitative study on the first death experiences of nursing students
    (Churchill Livingstone, 2024) Cekic, Yasemin; Caliskan, Behice Belkis; Ozturk, Guelhan Kucuk; Meral, Deniz Kaya; Bag, Beyhan
    Background: Accompanying a person at their death is a common experience in nurse education. In addition to all death experiences that are a meaningful part of the nursing profession, the first death experience is very important. However, there is limited understanding of nursing students' first death experiences. Objectives: This study aimed to explore nursing students' experiences of the death of a person for the first time during clinical practice. Design: This study was conducted as a qualitative study using a phenomenological design. Participants: A total of 17 nursing students participated in this study. Methods: Data were collected through online individual in-depth interviews and were analyzed using content analysis. Results: Four main themes and eleven sub-themes emerged. The themes were meaning of death (first death, a part of life), process management (death information, physical environment, bad news), after death (empty bed, questioning, death with dignity) and education (curriculum, support, professional perception). Conclusions: While the first experience of death provides an opportunity for students to learn, this experience reveals various negative emotions and the need for support.

    The effect of conscious mindfulness-based program (MBP) applied to emergency nurses on their anxiety and quality of life: A randomized controlled study
    (Kare Publ, 2024) Caliskan, Behice Belkis; Gunes, Aysegul; Tekin, Yasemin Eda; Ayvaz, Meryem Yildiz; Kizil, Hamiyet
    Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of a mindfulness-based program applied to nurses working in the emergency department on their anxiety and professional quality of life. Methods: The study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study with 50 nurses working in the emergency department. Data were collected with a sociodemographic information form, state-trait anxiety & imath;nventory (STAI), and quality of life scale for employees (ProQOL-30). Mindfulness-Based Program (FTP), which lasted for 8 weeks and was an application of 2.5 h/week, was applied to the experimental group. A pre-test before the application and a post-test after the application (1 week after the application was completed) were administered to the experimental and control groups. In evaluating the data, number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Kurtosis, Skewness, Chi-Square, and Fisher's exact tests were used. Results: It was found that the STAI state and trait anxiety pre-test mean scores of emergency nurses were not significantly different between the experimental and control groups (p>0.05), but the STAI state anxiety post-test mean score was significantly lower in the experimental group (t=-3.527, p=0.01). In addition, no significant difference was detected between the ProQOL-30 scale general and all subscale pre-test scores of the experimental and control groups (p>0.05). In addition, while there was no significant difference between the ProQOL-30 scale general and sub-dimension pre-test and post-test scores of the control group (p>0.05), it was found that the ProQOL-30 general score average increased significantly after the application (t=-2.113). Conclusion: It was concluded that the mindfulness-based program is a program that reduces the anxiety levels of emergency room nurses and increases their work-life satisfaction levels.

    Worry and hope levels of nursing students about climate change: A cross-sectional study
    (Kare Publ, 2024) Mat, Seda Tugba Baykara; Caliskan, Behice Belkis; Bastarcan, Cisem
    Objectives: Mitigating the health effects of climate change and ensuring social adaptation are considered among the new professional roles of nurses. It would be possible for nurses to manage the psychological reactions experienced in society toward the consequences of climate change only if they can direct their emotions to the right resources. This study aimed to determine nursing students' worry and hope levels about climate change. Methods:This cross-sectional design study was conducted with 260 nursing students in Istanbul. Personal Information Form, Climate Change Hope Scale and Climate Change Worry Scale were applied to the participants. Results: About 46.5% of the students participating in the study know global climate change, 58.5% know the effects of climate change on health, 70% follow the effects of climate change on health on the internet, and 68.1% of the students have no information about the institutions working on the effects of climate change on health. It was found that the participants had a mean of the hope scale score of 42.67 +/- 6.09 and a mean score of the worry scale of 33.72 +/- 7.83. Those who know climate change and its health effects, those who follow its effects on health, and those who know the institution working in this field have higher scores. A slightly significant correlation was found between the scale scores. Conclusion: The findings indicate that the students who know climate change and its effects on health have higher worry and hope scores. The data can guide nursing students in coping with negative emotions and will contribute to the empowerment of future nurses by helping universities develop nursing curricula in this area.
