The level of nursing students' self-regulated learning and academic locus of control predicting self-confidence and anxiety in clinical decision-making
(Churchill Livingstone, 2025) Bektaş, İlknur; Kudubes, Asli Akdeniz; Ayar, Dijle; Bektas, Murat
Aim: This study examined the extent to which nursing students' self-regulated learning and academic locus of control predict self-confidence and anxiety in clinical decision-making. Design: This study was a cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational study. Methods: The study sample was 627 undergraduate nursing students. Data were collected with the Student Introductory Information Form, Self-Regulated Learning Scale for Clinical Nursing Practice, Academic Locus of Control Scale, and Nursing Anxiety and Self-Confidence with Clinical Decision-Making Scale (NASC-CDM). Multiple linear regression analysis evaluated the predictive level of the variables on the self-confidence and anxiety scale subscale scores in clinical decision-making. Results: The external locus of control and learning strategies significantly explain all sub-dimensions of the selfconfidence scale in clinical decision-making. The internal locus of control and learning strategies meaningfully explain the sub-dimensions of the anxiety scale in clinical decision-making using resources to obtain information, fully listening, and knowing and taking action. Conclusion: Self-regulated learning levels of nursing students affect clinical decision-making. It was determined that students with an internal locus of control had higher self-confidence in clinical decision-making and lower anxiety levels.

(Elsevier Science Inc, 2024) Gerceker, Guelcin Ozalp; Bektaş, İlknur; Yardimci, Figen
Background: Virtual reality (VR) and stress balls can be used during phlebotomy in school-age children. Objectives: This randomized controlled study was conducted to evaluate the effect of distraction methods using VR and stress balls on the emotional behavior, pain, fear, and anxiety associated with phlebotomy in children aged 7-12. Methods: A parallel trial with a three-arm design approach was adopted for this randomized controlled trial, guided by the CONSORT checklist. The study sample (n = 150) was divided into VR, stress ball, and control group using stratified randomization. The mean scores obtained from the Children's Emotional Manifestation Scale, Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale, Child Anxiety Scale-State, and Child Fear Scale were compared between the groups. Linear regression analysis and correlation analysis were performed. Results: Significant differences were found in phlebotomy-related pain, fear, and anxiety. While there was no difference in emotional behavior before the phlebotomy, a significant difference was found after the phlebotomy. Being in the virtual reality group explained 30.8 % of the difference between the before and after phlebotomyrelated-emotional behavior scores. A strong, positive, and significant relationship was found between emotional behavior scores after phlebotomy and phlebotomy-related fear, pain, and anxiety scores (p < .01). Conclusion: Virtual reality and stress ball distraction were found to be effective in reducing pain, fear, and anxiety during phlebotomy. Virtual reality distraction is effective in reducing negative emotional behaviors. Application to practice: The VR distraction can be used in the pediatric population in pain, fear, anxiety, and emotional behavior management during phlebotomy.

(Elsevier Science Inc, 2024) Guler, Sevil; Şahan, Seda; Ozturk, Selcuk
Background: Peripheral intravenous catheter (PIC) implementation is among the most frequent and highly invasive nursing initiatives. PIC leads to anxiety with procedural pain, causing individuals to reject these procedures or negatively affecting the process's success. Aim: The study was conducted to determine the effect of virtual reality glasses (VRG) on pain, anxiety, and patient satisfaction during the peripheral intravenous catheter (PIC) process in adults. Design: An experimental study. Settings: An emergency department of a university hospital. Methods: Individuals who were admitted to the emergency unit of the university hospital were recruited between the data collection dates. Data from individuals' Patient Information Form, Visual Pain Scale, Visual Anxiety Scale, and Visual Satisfaction Scale were collected. VR-Box 3D Glasses was used as virtual reality glasses. Results: In our study, when the pain point averages with VAS were compared during the PIC process, the pain score average of the patients in the control group was 5.78 +/- 1.23 visual anxiety scale 5.89 +/- 1.23 and patient satisfaction scale 3.86 +/- 2.48, The visual pain score average of patients in the VRG group is 4.12 +/- 2.16, visual anxiety scale 3.14 +/- 1.76 and visual patient satisfaction scale 7.64 +/- 3.26. In short, it has been detected that the pain, anxiety, and patient satisfaction score averages of patients in the VRG group are statistically significant compared to the pain score averages of patients in the control group (p < .005). Our study unearthed a statistically significant relationship at an average level of negative direction between PIC post-treatment pain, anxiety, and patient satisfaction (r = - 0.476). Conclusion: Utilization of VRG has been detected to reduce pain and anxiety felt during the PIC process in adult patients and increase process satisfaction. VRG, a non-pharmacological, non-invasive, inexpensive, and feasible nursing initiative, may be recommended for use in pain and anxiety control in patients undergoing PIC treatment.

(Wiley, 2025) İsmailoğlu, Elif Günay; Aygün, Hakan; Şahan, Seda; Ergin, Eda; Geçtan, Eliz
RationaleNoninvasive 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.
