Öğe Artificial intelligence and robot nurses: From nurse managers' perspective: A descriptive cross-sectional study(Wiley, 2022) Ergin, Eda; Karaarslan, Duygu; Şahan, Seda; Yücel, Şebnem ÇınarAim This research was planned to identify nurse managers' opinions on artificial intelligence and robot nurses. Background As the concepts of artificial intelligence and robot nurses are becoming widespread in Turkey, nurse managers are expected to guide and cooperate with nurses in the future in regard to these technologies. Methods The sample of the study consisted of 326 manager nurses, who were reached via the online questionnaire during the period of September to November 2021. A Nurse Managers Information Form and a Question Form on Artificial Intelligence and Robot Nurses were used to collect data. Data in this cross-sectional descriptive study were collected between September 2021 and November 2021 by the online survey method. The descriptive statistics of the data were analysed with numbers and percentages. The difference between the knowledge of artificial intelligence and robot nurses and demographic characteristics was analysed with the chi-square test. Results According to the findings, 66.9% of the nurse managers reported having heard the concepts of artificial intelligence and robot nurses previously. 67.2% stated that they thought that robot nurses would benefit the nursing profession, but 86.2% voiced disbelief that robots would replace nurses. Conclusions The majority of the participating nurse managers reported that artificial intelligence and robot nurses would not replace nurses but would be beneficial for nurses and would reduce their workload. Implications for Nursing Management It should be ensured that the nurse managers plan the areas in the hospital where artificial intelligence and robot nurses will be used and determine the possible risks. Awareness should be increased with in-service trainings, and patient safety and ethical problems regarding the use of artificial intelligence and robot nurses should be identified.Öğe Can artificial intelligence and robotic nurses replace operating room nurses? The quasi-experimental research(Springernature, 2023) Ergin, Eda; Karaarslan, Duygu; Sahan, Seda; Bingol, UmranOperating room nurses, who have an important place in the professional healthcare team, should be able to use technology effectively and adapt to innovations. This study is expected to shed light on how effective the development of robotic technologies and artificial intelligence and their integration into operating room nursing will be in fulfilling the requirements of contemporary nursing philosophy. This study was designed as a single group pre- and post-test quasi-experimental study. The quasi-experimental (pretest-posttest) research design was utilized to conduct the study in a Training and Research Hospital in Western Turkey. The nurses (n = 35) working in the operating room of the aforementioned hospital were included in the study. In this study, we aimed to determine whether operating room nurses experienced anxiety due to the use of artificial intelligence and robotic nurses, and the effectiveness of the training given to them in order to raise their awareness. The following three tools were used for data collection: The Nurses' Descriptive Characteristics Form, Artificial Intelligence Knowledge Questionnaire, and Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Scale. Data extraction and analysis were performed in a narrative and tabular way. According to this study, the training given to the operating room nurses significantly increased their knowledge levels about artificial intelligence and robotic nurses, and increased their artificial intelligence- and robotic nurse-related anxiety significantly (p < 0.05). The participating operating room nurses experienced limitations regarding current information, training programs and learning opportunities on robotic surgery. We recommend that the operating room nurses should be provided with trainings on artificial intelligence technologies and robotic nurses, and that they should be enabled to use these information technologies regarding future technologies actively.Öğe Comparison of forearm and intra-arterial blood pressure measurements according to body and arm positions in obese patients(Wiley, 2025) Ismailoglu, Elif Gunay; Aygun, Hakan; Sahan, Seda; Ergin, Eda; Gectan, ElizRationaleNoninvasive blood pressure (BP) monitoring is very important also difficult for accurate diagnosis and monitor of obese patients.AimsThe study aimed to assess the agreement between forearm arm BP and intra-arterial BP values in a different body and arm positions in obese patients.MethodsThe descriptive study was carried out on 60 intensive care patients with a body mass index above 30 kg/m2 who were monitored with invasive radial BP in the general and surgical intensive care units. BP values obtained from the upper arm and forearm with different arm and body positions were compared with intra-arterial BP results. Bland-Altman analysis and correlation coefficient were used for the accuracy of upper and forearm noninvasive BP reading in different positions.ResultsThe best agreement was found between the forearm systolic BP in the supine and half-sitting position with the arm down and intra-arterial BP values. Also, the best agreement in diastolic BP was found between the half-sitting and half-sitting position with the arm down and intra-arterial BP.ConclusionsForearm systolic BP measurement, especially in the supine and half-sitting position with the arm below the heart level position, was best agreement with intra-arterial measurement, regarded as the gold standard. For this reason, it is more appropriate to use forearm BP measurement in obese patients monitored in intensive care to obtain accurate results.Öğe Determining Alarm Fatigue Among Nurses in Paediatric and Adult Intensive Care Units: A Cross-Sectional Study(2023) Ergin, Eda; Yaz, Şeyda Binay; Atay, AyşenurObjective: This study was conducted to determine the alarm fatigue of nurses working in pediatric and adult intensive care clinics. Material and Methods: The sample of the descriptive and cross-sectional study consisted of 166 nurses. The STrengthening the Reporting of OBservational Studies in Epidemiology checklist was used in the study. Data were collected by contacting nurses and shar- ing the link to the Google Survey via e-mail and WhatsApp groups be- tween February-April 2021. It took the participants 5-10 minutes to fill in the data collection tools. Nurses’ Introductory Information Form pre- pared by the researchers and the Nurses' Alarm Fatigue Scale was used to collect the data. Results: The mean score of the Nurses' Alarm Fa- tigue Scale was 18.02±5.94 which was moderate. The analysis also demonstrated that the length of service in the profession, the length of service in the intensive care unit (ICU), the ICU worked in, and the work shifts variables did not statistically significantly affect the mean scores obtained by the participants. However, the weekly working hours variable statistically significantly affected the mean scores obtained by the participants (p=0.019). Finally, the variable of the presence of a noise meter in the ICUs where the nurses involved in the study worked statistically significantly affected the mean scores obtained by the par- ticipants (p=0.009). Conclusion: The nurses experienced alarm fatigue moderately and their sociodemographic characteristics did not affect the level of alarm fatigue. It was concluded that increased weekly work- ing hours and lack of noise meters in the ICUs increased the nurses’ alarm fatigue levels.Öğe Determining the Spiritual Care and Comfort Needs of Patients Having Undergone Open-Heart Surgery: Cross-Sectional Descriptive Study in Turkey(Springer, 2024) Zaman, Fatma; Ergin, EdaThis study was aimed at determining the spiritual care and comfort needs of patients having undergone open-heart surgery. This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with 147 patients in the Cardiovascular Surgery Intensive Care Unit of a training and research hospital in Izmir, a province in western Turkey, between May 1, 2022 and November 1, 2022. The comfort level of the patients who had undergone open-heart surgery was moderate, and the levels of their spiritual care needs were high. A statistically significant relationship was found between the patients' Perianesthesia Comfort Scale total score and the Spiritual Care Needs Inventory (p < 0.05). We concluded that the patients' comfort levels decreased as their spiritual care needs increased. We recommend authors to conduct studies in the future which should include different sample groups and compare the data obtained before and after the surgery.Öğe Does preclinical first-time simulation-based arterial blood pressure training increase psychomotor skills in nursing students?(Addis Ababa Univ, Dept Community Health, 2022) Ergin, Eda; Yucel, Sebnem Cinar; Yilmaz, Hulya; Orkun, Nilya; Khorshtd, LeylaBackground: Blood pressure (BP) measurement, which is frequently used in clinical practice and is known to have a significant place in determining the patient's clinical picture, is performed by nurses.Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of providing arterial BP instruction via simulation on the nursing students' psychomotor skill levels.Methods: The quasi-experimental study was conducted with a single-group pretest-posttest design between September and December 2019 at the Faculty of Nursing of a university to examine the effect of teaching with a simulator on students' psychomotor skill levels, self-esteem and satisfaction. After signing the informed consent form, students who agreed to participate in the study were asked to fill in the Individual Information Form and Arterial BP Academic Achievement Test. The Arterial BP Academic Achievement Test (pretest) and Arterial BP Measurement Skill Performance Test (pretest) were administered to students after traditional BP training. After the initial demonstration, students were allowed to repeat this procedure on the virtual simulator for 21 days. After 21 days, students were evaluated using the Arterial BP Academic Achievement Test (posttest), Arterial BP Measurement Skill Performance Test (posttest) and Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale.Results: No statistically significant difference was found between the pretest and posttest scores of the Arterial BP Measurement Achievement Test (p > 0.005); however, the mean posttest score of the Arterial BP Measurement Skill Performance Test was found to be statistically significantly higher than the mean pretest score (p < 0.001). A significant difference was found in students' self-confidence and satisfaction mean score regarding using simulators (Z = -0.720, p = 0.472).Conclusion: Simulation-based arterial blood pressure training is recommended for nursing students to gain psychomotor skills in preclinical blood pressure teaching for the first time.

A randomized controlled trial(Churchill Livingstone, 2022) Yılmaz Hülya; Yucel, Sebnem Çınar; Ergin, Eda; Bağcı, Hazel; Khorshid, LeylaBackground: PIVC is one of the essential procedures of modern medicine, and is one of the most widely used and important treatments in the clinical setting. Nevertheless, it is one of the most difficult skills to teach in nursing education, and it is the skill which causes the most anxiety in nursing students. Objectives: The aim of the study was to examine the effect of the teaching method using infrared technology on PIVC success, duration, and the level of psychomotor skills and knowledge in the acquisition of PIVC skills in nursing students. Methods: This was a pre-test post-test randomized experimental study with a control group. The research was conducted in the Skills and Simulation Laboratory of a Nursing Faculty of a university between December 2019 and February 2020 to examine the effects of teaching PIVC measurement via infrared light on students' success rate. A theory lesson on PIVC followed 15 days later by laboratory practical was carried out with all of the students included in the study. The PIVC Knowledge Evaluation Form as a pre-test. The researchers completed the PIVC Skills Performance Test from observation during the application of the checklist. Immediately after the procedure, the PIVC Knowledge Evaluation Form was applied as a post-test. Results: The procedure success rate of the experimental group was 90%, and that of the control group was 46%. Comparing PIVC skill scores between the groups, the difference was found to be statistically significant (Z = -2.741; p < 0.05). The groups' PIVC knowledge levels increased in a similar way. Conclusion: Teaching with infrared technology contributes more to students' success in PIVC skills than does standard teaching. Both methods were effective in developing knowledge of PIVC.Öğe The Effect of White Noise and Brahms' Lullaby on Pain in Infants during Intravenous Blood Draw: A Randomized Controlled Study(Innovision Professional Media, 2023) Midilli, Tulay Sagkal; Ergin, EdaObjective .

The perception of future explains time as a psychological phenomenon rather than a physical one. This study aimed to determine nurses' thoughts of the metaverse and their perceptions of future.Methods The study in which the cross-sectional descriptive design was used was conducted with nurses working in a hospital in Trkiye from September 2022 to December 2022. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with 374 nurses who were chosen using the convenience sampling method. Personal Identification Form, Metaverse Scale (MS) and Future Time Perspective Scale (FTPS) were used to collect data. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows 25.0 program was used to analyse the data.Results The findings revealed that 81.6% of the nurses believed that they could provide patient education using the metaverse in the future, whereas 46% believed that they could do virtual nursing. The mean scores obtained from the FTPS and MS by the nurses were 3.45 (SD = 0.37) and 3.74 (SD = 0.56), respectively. There was a weak positive relationship between perception of future, and knowledge of, attitudes towards and awareness of the metaverse (r = 0.157, p = 0.002), and a weak, positive relationship between internet use duration and MS (r = 0.169, p = 0.001).Conclusions This study underscores the potential of the metaverse in nursing, revealing that nurses are optimistic about its application in patient education and virtual care. We recommend the development of specialized training programs to equip nurses with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively utilize the metaverse in healthcare settings.Öğe Nurses' Use of Holistic, Complementary and Alternative Medicine Methods Against COVID-19 Anxiety(Innovision Professional Media, 2023) Ergin, Eda; Ozbolat, GulizContext . Health professionals have been experiencing physical and mental fatigue, affective disorders, and sleep problems due to the stress experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. As in most outbreaks and pandemics, nurses are at the forefront of the fight against the coronavirus and have experienced high anxiety levels. People can resort to many methods of coping with stressful situations, including complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Objective . The study intended to assess nurses' anxiety levels about COVID-19 during the peak period of its second wave in Turkey and to examine the methods that they used to cope with that anxiety as well as their attitudes toward CAM. Design . The research team designed a descriptive and cross-sectional study Setting . The study was conducted in a training and research hospital in the Aegean region of Turkey between February 2021 and May 2021, during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants . Participants were 168 nurses working in the hospital. Outcome Measures . Data were collected with the Sociodemographic Information Form, Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS), and Holistic Complementary and Alternative Health Questionnaire (HCAMQ), which has two subdimensions, CAM and Holistic Health (HH). Results . A significant relationship was found between the unit where the nurses worked and their scores on the CAM subdimension (P <.037). A significant relationship was also found between the nurses' anxiety about the COVID-19 epidemic and the scores on the holistic health (HH) subdimension (P <.001) and the HCAMQ (P <.016). To cope with anxiety, the nurses who experienced anxiety used the following complementary methods: (1) saying prayers and worshipping (56.6%), (2) taking hot and cold showers (54.6%), and (3) drinking herbal teas and infusions (49.3%). A weak correlation was found between the CAS, CAM, and HCAMQ scores (P <.05). Conclusions . The current study found that it could be beneficial for nurses to apply complementary methods to reduce their anxiety, because it's not known how long the COVID-19 pandemic will continue. In line with these results, it's extremely important to determine the psychological symptoms and to determine the priorities for solving these problems in nurses. Therefore, it's recommended that nurses should identify their anxieties about COVID-19 and that they should use complementary methods to manage their anxieties.Öğe NURSING STUDENTS’ AWARENESS OF INNOVATION AND LEVELS OF INNOVATION(İzmir Demokrasi Üniversitesi, 2022) Ergin, Eda; Yücel, Şebnem ÇınarThis research was planned to identify nursing students’ awareness of innovation and innovation levels and to raise awareness on this topic.The sample of the descriptive study was collected online during the period of April-July 2021 from 331 voluntary nursing students studying at the nursing faculty of a state university.

Saunders, 2025) Karakuş Selçuk, Aslı; Karaarslan, Duygu; Ergin, Eda; Salğin, EminePurpose: The study was aimed at determining the effect of exposure to white noise and recorded lullaby during breastfeeding on newborn stress, mother's breastfeeding success, and comfort. Design and methods: This single-blinded and three-parallel group randomized controlled study consisted of mothers who had given birth and whose newborns were at a hospital in Turkey. Seventy-five participants completed the study. They were assigned to white noise, lullaby, and control groups in equal numbers. Each group included 25 women. The questionnaires included descriptive characteristics of mothers, the LATCH Breastfeeding Assessment Tool, the Newborn Stress Scale, and the Visual Analog Scale. During the breastfeeding process, the newborn and mother listened to white noise and lullaby for approximately 15 min. The newborn stress and mothers' level of comfort were assessed before and after the interventions. The breastfeeding success of the mother assessed with the LATCH was completed within the first 15 min of breastfeeding. Results: The mean scores obtained from the Newborn Stress Scale by the mothers in the lullaby group and white noise group decreased significantly after the intervention. A significant difference was also observed in the control group. There were also significant differences between the changes in the mothers' comfort level of all groups.
