    (Kare Publ, 2024) Çelik, Aysegül; Çınar, Derya; Gundogan, Secil; Komurcuoglu, Berna
    OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the application of a hand fan to the face on comfort level, dyspnea severity, and changes in physiological parameters in the management of dyspnea in patients with lung cancer. METHODS This study was conducted in a randomized controlled experimental design. 56 lung cancer patients were randomly assigned to the intervention group (n:27) receiving fan therapy and the control group (n:29) receiving routine therapy. The intervention group had a hand fan applied to the face for five minutes twice a day for five days. The Cancer Dyspnea Scale, General Comfort Scale-Short Form, and Vital Signs Monitoring Form were completed before and after the intervention. RESULTS There was no significant difference between the Cancer Dyspnea Scale and the General Comfort Scale-Short Form scores of patients in the intervention and control groups before and after the application (p>0.05). The intervention group had a significantly lower mean heart rate compared to the control group (p<0.05). CONCLUSION The study found that using a handheld fan for five minutes twice a day for five days did not affect the patients' dyspnea or comfort level. However, it did result in a reduction in heart rate from physiological parameters.

    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2022) Çınar, Derya; Çelik, Aysegül; Öztürk, Aslıhan; Bahçeli, Pınar Zorba; Akça, Nazan Kılıç
    Background In the COVID-19 pandemic, fear of coronavirus infection has caused individuals to hesitate to access medical services and postpone their participation in diagnostic and screening programs. With this research, it was aimed to examine the relationship between women's wellness awareness and attitudes towards breast cancer screening during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods The descriptive cross-sectional type research was conducted between 30 January 2021 and 30 July 2021. The sample of the study consisted of 396 women between the ages of 40 and 69 who were in the breast cancer screening population under national cancer screening standards and met the criteria for inclusion. The data of the study were collected using a web-based and self-reported questionnaire, Personal Information Form, Healthy Life Awareness Scale and Cancer Screening Attitude Scale. Results It was determined that more than half of women postponed breast cancer screening during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the reasons for the postponement were often fear of contamination. It was determined that there was a relationship between the participants' awareness of healthy living and their attitudes towards cancer screening (P < 0.05). Conclusion It was found that approximately two out of every three women in the screening population during the pandemic did not have screening or postponed it due to fear of contamination. It was determined that women who had awareness of healthy living and had breast cancer screening before the pandemic had a positive attitude towards cancer screening during the COVID-19 pandemic period.
