    (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.

    Knowledge levels of oncology nurses regarding evidence-based practices in the assessment and management of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy
    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2024) Celik, Aysegul; Yesilbalkan, Oznur Usta
    Objective: The study aimed to determine the level of oncology nurses' knowledge of evidence-based practice for assessing and managing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Methods: This study employed a descriptive and cross-sectional research design. It was carried out with oncology nurses who were working at a university hospital in the Western Region of Turkey and who were members of the Oncology Nursing Association. The sample of the study consisted of 96 nurses who met the inclusion criteria. Results: The study sample comprised 94.8% female oncology nurses, 57.3% of whom held an undergraduate degree, and over half (58.5%) of whom were employed as clinical nurses. A majority of nurses (76.0%) indicated that they had not received any training in peripheral neuropathy. 35.4% of the nurses assessed patients receiving neurotoxic chemotherapy for peripheral neuropathy at each visit/each chemotherapy cycle. A total of 43.8% of nurses indicated that they frequently assessed patients for peripheral neuropathy at the conclusion of the treatment protocol. The oncology nurses assessed the patient-reported symptoms of motor neuropathy (58.3%), sensory neuropathy (56.3%), autonomic neuropathy (51.0%), neuropathic pain (55.2%), and co-occurring symptoms (52.1%) on a frequent basis. The nurses reported that they assessed muscle strength (56.3%), gait and balance (58.3%), and quality of life (52.1%) frequently. In contrast, they assessed deep tendon reflex (41.7%), neurological tests (36.5%), and social activities (46.8%) rarely. Conclusions: The study findings indicated that oncology nurses require further education and training in evidencebased practices for the assessment and management of CIPN.

    The Impact of Fan Application on the Comfort Levels of Patients with Lung Cancer in Managing Dyspnea: A Randomized Controlled Trial
    (Kare Publ, 2024) Celik, Aysegul; Cinar, 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.
