Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted between November 2016 and November 2017 in the polyclinic for children's health and common illnesses at a university hospital in eastern Turkey. One hundred eleven women who met the inclusion criteria constituted the sample of the study. The data were evaluated using the analyses of percentage, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, independent-samples t test, analysis of variance, and multiple linear regression. Results: In the study, the week of pregnancy period when the women quit smoking was 8.19 +/- 5.17, and the week of postpartum smoking relapse was 8.47 +/- 11.76. Furthermore, 72.1% of the women stated that they wanted to quit smoking permanently. The study determined that the status of wanting to quit smoking permanently, the status of smoking while breastfeeding, and gained weight during the last gestation are important predictors of postpartum smoking relapse. Originality and Value: Knowledge on the characteristics of the women who started smoking again in the postpartum period is important for helping women who have quitted smoking in pregnancy but who are prone to relapse as a risk group by health care personnel.Öğe A comparison of physical anxiety levels in adolescent and young women with polycystic ovary syndrome and in other healthy adolescent and young women in a university hospital, Turkey(Emerald Group Holdings Ltd., 2020) Duman, Mesude; Ozan, Yeter DurgunPurpose: This study was conducted to investigate the Social Physique Anxiety (SPA) level in adolescent and young women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of progressive muscle relaxation exercises on the pregnancy-related anxiety levels of pregnant women who have experienced a perinatal loss. Methods: One hundred and four pregnant women who had experienced a perinatal loss were randomly assigned to an intervention group (n = 31) or a control group (n = 33) and participated in a 12-week trial. The intervention group received training on progressive muscle relaxation exercises, while the control group was provided only with routine healthcare services. The Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Questionnaire-R2 was used to evaluate the level of pregnancy-related anxiety. Results: The intervention group showed improvement in comparison to the control group at the end of the intervention. After the intervention, the measured levels of "pregnancy related anxiety", "fear of giving birth", and "worries about bearing a handicapped child" significantly decreased in the intervention group compared to the pre-intervention levels and the control group, and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (p<0.001, p<0.001, and p<0.001, respectively). However, there were no significant differences in the levels of concern about own appearance between the groups after the intervention (p>0.05). Conclusion: According to the results of the study, progressive muscle relaxation led to a decrease in the pregnancy-related anxiety levels of the pregnant women who had experienced a perinatal loss.

Gebe hemşirelerin çalışma alanlarında karşılaşabilecekleri en büyük riskler, enfeksiyon ajanları, ilaçlar ve radyasyon gibi teratojenlerdir. Teratojenler hem anne sağlığını hem de bebek sağ- lığını tehdit etmektedir. Ayrıca gebe hemşireler, hemşirelik mesleğinin iş yükünün çok fazla olması ve şift usulü çalışan bir meslek olmasından kaynaklanan risklerle de karşı karşıya kalmaktadır. Bu riskler hem gebe hemşireyi hem de doğmamış fetüsün sağlığını tehdit eder. Çalışma alanındaki risklerden korunmada çeşitli çözüm önerileri mevcut olmakla birlikte, her bölümün kendi risklerini saptaması çalışan sağlığının korunmasında oldukça önemlidir. Bu nedenle bu yazıda hemşirelerin karşılaşabileceği olası risk faktörleri ve bunlara karşı alınabilecek önlemlere yer verilmiştir.Öğe İnfertilite Tedavi Sürecindeki Kadınların Fertilite Uyumları ile Öz-Yeterlikleri Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi(2018) Duman, Mesude; Ozan, Yeter DurgunGiriş: Bu çalışmanın amacı, infertilite tedavi sürecindeki kadınların fertiliteuyumları ile öz-yeterlik algısı arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma tanımlayıcı tipte kesitsel bir çalışmadır.Araştırma 1 Temmuz 2016-1 Ocak 2017 tarihleri arasında Türkiye’nindoğusunda bir Üniversite hastanesinin infertilite polikliniğindeyürütülmüştür.

The multicentre descriptive study included 2365 pregnant women who were in the twentieth gestational week and above. The data were collected using the pregnancy information form, prenatal distress questionnaire and spousal support scale. Descriptive statistics, Student’s t-test, ANOVA and logistic regression were used to evaluate the data. The results of this study demonstrated that pregnant women’s prenatal distress levels are affected by such factors as the region lived in, lack of spousal support and being a primary school graduate. Nurses should develop intervention strategies that involve the pregnant woman's spouse to reduce prenatal distress and the factors affecting prenatal distress.Impact statementWhat is already known on this subject? Prenatal distress can have significant effects on pregnancy, maternal health and human development across the lifespan. What the results of this study add? Spousal support could also have an effect on the psychological health of mothers. What the implications are of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Nurses and midwives monitor the pregnant women, and therefore, they should evaluate the prenatal distress levels in the prenatal period, plan intervention strategies for pregnant women with high stress levels and include the pregnant women’s spouses in these intervention strategies.Öğe The prevalence and associated factors of fear of childbirth among Turkish pregnant women(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd., 2022) İsbir, Gözde Gökçe; Serçekuş, Pınar; Yenal, Kerziban; Okumuş, Hülya; Ozan, Yeter Durgun; Karabulut, ÖzlemObjective This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of fear of childbirth and affecting factors in pregnant women in Turkey.
