    (Oncology Nursing Soc, 2022) Celik, Aysegul; Cinar, Derya; Akca, Nazan Kilic; Bahceli, Pinar Zorba; Ozturk, Aslihan
    OBJECTIVES: To examine the relationship between levels of anxiety about COVID-19 and attitudes toward colorectal cancer screening in adult men in Turkey.SAMPLE & SETTING: The participants in this study were 188 adult men, aged 50-70 years, who were not diagnosed with cancer, and who could use social media. The researchers shared the link to the study forms through social media, and data were collected between February 2021 and May 2021.METHODS & VARIABLES: A personal information form, the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale, and the Attitude Scale for Cancer Screening were used to collect descriptive research data.RESULTS: Participants had mean scores of 1.04 (SD = 2.12) for the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale and 95.28 (SD = 16.91) for the Attitude Scale for Cancer Screening. There was no significant correlation between the scores (p > 0.05). Family structure and the reasons for applying for colorectal cancer screening were significantly related to participation in colorectal cancer screening programs (p < 0.05).IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Individualized screening models can be used to prevent the deferral of cancer screenings. To ensure early diagnosis of colorectal cancer, nurses should be encouraged to use telehealth applications and help individuals perform immunochemical tests at home.

    The effect of prolonged use of surgical masks during face-to-face teaching on cognitive and physiological parameters of nursing students: A cross-sectional and descriptive study
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Sezer, Hale; Cinar, Derya; Akca, Nazan Kilic
    Aims: This study was conducted to examine the effects of using surgical masks on nursing students' cognitive and physiological parameters during full-time face-to-face teaching during the pandemic.Background: It is known that the use of surgical masks has effects on health professionals' physiological parameters.Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study with a pretest-posttest design was conducted. The study was carried out at a state university.Methods: Sixty-one nursing students taking Internal Medicine Nursing course in the fall semester during the COVID-19 pandemic were included in the study. Study data were collected by using a Descriptive Information Form, the Cognitive Fatigue Scale, the One-way Dyspnea Scale and the Cognitive Reaction Time application in a theoretical course that took 310 min on 15 November 2021. Students' physiological parameters were measured by using a thermometer and pulse oximetry.Results: It was found that students' cognitive fatigue levels (p < 0.001) and body temperature increased (p < 0.001) and that cognitive reaction rates (p = 0.05) and pulse rates decreased (p < 0.001). It was determined that after the lesson, there was a weak positive correlation between nursing students' level of dyspnea and body temperature and their cognitive fatigue levels (p < 0.05).Conclusions: It was determined that the use of surgical masks during full-time face-to-face teaching increased students' cognitive fatigue and decreased their cognitive reaction rates. The research will have an impact on redesigning the curriculum for face-to-face teaching. Lecturers should revise their teaching by taking these findings into account.

    The effect of hand massage on fatigue in women with cancer receiving brachytherapy: randomized clinical trial
    (Springer, 2025) Arslan, Dilek Efe; Akca, Nazan Kilic; Aslan, Dicle
    Purpose This randomized controlled study was conducted to analyze the effect of hand massage on the fatigue level of the women receiving brachytherapy. Methods It was determined that 12 patients were included in each group (control and hand massage group), so 24 women with gynecologic cancer were included in the study. The application was performed on each hand for 5 min, a total of 10 min in hand massage group. Hand massage was applied before each brachytherapy (at the first, second, and third sessions, a total of three times) every other day for 1 week in the hand massage group. No intervention was performed to the control group during the study. The data were collected using the Patient Information Form and Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI). Results At the end of the brachytherapy, the fatigue severity score and impact of fatigue on activities of daily living scores of the group that applied hand massage were determined to be lower than the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion It was determined that hand massage effectively controlled fatigue and the impact of fatigue on activities of daily living. Hand massage is a safe and economical method that can be performed by certified nurses. Trial registration This clinical trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06056713-09/21/2023).

    The effect of music on fistula needle insertion-related pain intensity and pain distress: A single-centre, single-blind, randomised controlled trial
    (Wiley, 2025) Baykan, Sultan; Akca, Nazan Kilic
    BackgroundPatients feel pain and distress when a needle is inserted into the fistula. This affects the comfort of patients. One of the nonpharmacological methods used to decrease pain and stress is music intervention.ObjectiveThis study was conducted to assess the effect of Turkish classical music in makams, which the patients preferred, via headphones on fistula needle insertion-related pain intensity and pain distress.DesignIt was single-blind randomised controlled study.ParticipantsThis study was conducted with 54 patients between March and June 2023.MeasurementsThe patient data were collected through a patient information form, visual analogue scale and distress thermometer. The intervention group was played music for 10 min, starting 5 min before the needle was inserted into the fistula. The music intervention was made in accordance with the established music protocol. The control group received only routine treatment.ResultsPatients in the intervention group were found to have a significant decrease in fistula needle insertion-related pain intensity and pain distress.ConclusionAccording to the results obtained from the research, music listening to patients is a reliable, effective and low-cost way of a nursing intervention to reduce levels of fistula needle insertion-related pain intensity and pain distress. Additionally, the results will provide evidence-based guidance to dialysis nurses for pain and distress management.
