    The effects of parents' vaccine hesitancy and COVID-19 vaccine literacy on attitudes toward vaccinating their children during the pandemic
    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2023) Bektas, Ilknur; Bektas, Murat
    Purpose: The study was conducted to examine the effects of parents' vaccine hesitancy and COVID-19 vaccine literacy on their attitudes toward vaccinating their children during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design and methods: The study was descriptive, cross-sectional, and comparative. The data were collected from 199 parents with children aged 0-18 using a Google Form on social media. In the study, the Parent Introductory Information Form, the Vaccine Hesitancy Scale in Pandemics, and the COVID-19 Vaccine Literacy Scale were used. In the analysis of the data, numbers, percentages, and means were calculated, and the significance test of the difference between the two means and the logistic regression analysis were used.Results: Parents' vaccination hesitancy scale sub-dimensions and COVID-19 vaccine literacy scale sub-dimensions together explain 25.4% of their attitudes toward having their children vaccinated against COVID-19. When the variables were examined individually, it was determined that the sub-dimensions of the Vaccine Hesitancy Scale in Pandemics alone significantly affected their attitudes during the pandemic period (p < 0.001).Conclusions: Parents are hesitant about getting their children vaccinated against COVID-19. Improving vaccine literacy can increase vaccination rates in special groups to overcome vaccine hesitancy.(c) 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    EFFECTS OF SPOUSAL SUPPORT IN THE EARLY POSTPARTUM PERIOD ON BREASTFEEDING MOTIVATION IN PATRIARCHAL SOCIETIES
    (Dokuz Eylul Univ Inst Health Sciences, 2023) Uludag, Elif; Ayar, Dijle; Bektas, Ilknur
    Purpose: Breastfeeding is important with regard to public health. Our aim was to examine effects of spousal support in the early postpartum period on breastfeeding motivation in patriarchal societies.Material and Methods: Study was descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational design. Study was conducted in a pediatrics outpatient clinic of University Hospital in Inland Anatolia Region in Turkey. It included primiparous (n=145) and multiparous (n=152) women. Data were collected by using Demographic Data Collection Form, The Scale of Perceived Spousal Support among Women in the Early Postpartum Period and The Breastfeeding Motivation Scale. Descriptive and Simple linear regression analyses were conducted in this study.Results: Analysis showed a significant positive, moderate relation between spousal support and breastfeeding motivation in the primiparous women; spousal support accounted for 23.8% of breastfeeding motivation of the women. There was a significant, positive weak relation between spousal support and breastfeeding motivation in the multiparous women; spousal support explained 8.2% of breastfeeding motivation in these women.Conclusion: Spousal support in the early postpartum period was found to have a positive influence on improvement of breastfeeding motivation. However, it could explain a small percentage of breastfeeding motivation. New strategies should be created to encourage spouses to get involved in breastfeeding.

    The predictive power of disease management of parents with children with cancer on fatigue and sleepiness levels
    (Springer, 2023) Akdeniz Kudubes, Asli; Bektas, Murat; Ayar, Dijle; Bektas, Ilknur
    This study was conducted as a descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional research to determine the predictive power of disease management of parents of children with cancer on fatigue and sleepiness levels. Study data were collected by using a Parent Information Form, the Chalder Fatigue Scale, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and the Family Management Measure. Mean scores, percentage calculations, Pearson correlation analysis, and linear regression analysis were used in the analysis of data. Three models were created according to the relationship between the variables in the multiple regression analysis. In Model 1, the first sub-dimension of the disease management scale explained 59.7% of the level of fatigue and sleepiness. In Model 2, the second sub-dimension of the disease management scale explained 69.4% of the level of fatigue and sleepiness. In Model 3, the third sub-dimension of the disease management scale explained 67.5% of the level of fatigue and sleepiness. Childhood cancer is a family disease that affects parents as well as children. This is an important study revealing the effect of chronic disease management on the fatigue and daytime sleepiness of parents with children with cancer. Considering the outcomes of this study, nurses should be aware of the possible effects of disease management on the level of fatigue and daytime sleepiness. Nurses should not forget that families who cannot manage chronic diseases effectively and successfully may have high levels of fatigue and sleepiness.

    Simulation for breastfeeding support during the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey: A quasi-experimental study
    (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2023) Gurkan, Kuebra Pinar; Bektas, Ilknur; Yucedag, Mehtap; Yilmaz, Ozgur
    We aimed to investigate the effect of simulation-supported breastfeeding program given to women in pregnancy during the COVID-19 pandemic period on breastfeeding success, breastfeeding self-efficacy, and mother-infant attachment. They carried out this study 73 pregnant women who presented to the obstetrics and gynecology clinic of a hospital and were selected by using the simple random sampling method. The researchers used a quasi-experimental design in this study. After the simulation-supported breastfeeding program, they found that breastfeeding success and breastfeeding self-efficacy were increased in the experimental group compared to the control group. The researchers were used the structural equation model, regression analysis, and independent samples t-test in the data analysis. The education given to pregnant women in this period when social interaction decreases becomes more important. Researchers are recommended that breastfeeding education should start in the antenatal period and continue in the postpartum period by using different education methods together. Simulation-supported breastfeeding program is a model that can be used to provide breastfeeding education for pregnant women in public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic. With this program, the number of visits to the hospital for breastfeeding education will decrease, and more remote counseling will be provided.
