Empathic approach to reducing the negative attitudes of nursing undergraduate students towards cancer
(Churchill Livingstone, 2021) Sürücü, Hamdiye Arda; Topdemir, Esra Anuş; Baksi, Altun; Besen, Dilek Büyükkaya
Background: In cases where even professional nurses have difficulty in giving care to cancer patients, student nurses may not be able to provide adequate care and sometimes develop a negative behavior or attitude towards this patient group. Objectives: The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between the attitudes of nursing undergraduate students towards cancer and the empathic approach. Design: The study was carried out using the cross-sectional research design. Settings: A university located in the southeast of Turkey between November-December 2020. Participants: Nursing students from one Turkey nursing school. Methods: The research data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Questionnaire for Measuring Attitudes towards Cancer (Cancer Stigma) (QMAC) - Community Version, and Jefferson's Empathy Scale for Nursing Students (JESNS). Results: 240 students volunteered to participate in the study, and the rate of the students' response to the questionnaires was 52%. Of all the nursing students, 66.2% of them were female; 45.4% had a moderate perception of their economic status; 94.2% had no chronic disease; 90.4% had no family history regarding cancer; 67.9% had never been in an oncology clinic, and 59.2 of them had received training on empathy. When nursing students' attitudes towards cancer were examined, it was seen that empathic approach (13 = -0.291; p < .01) and chronic disease treatment received (13 = 0.174; p = .005) were found to be significant predictors. Conclusions: The results revealed that the nursing undergraduate students' negative perception of cancer decreased as their empathic skills increased. In addition, the students' receiving treatment for chronic diseases increased their negative perception of cancer. In order to reduce the negative attitudes of nursing students towards cancer, more trainings, lectures and seminars or clinical skills training regarding the development of empathic skills could be included in the undergraduate nursing curriculum.

(2022) Kiracı, Kasım; Asker, Veysi; Güngör, H. Yusuf
The Covid-19 pandemic has caused many industries, especially the air transport industry, to experience a crisis. It is important to analyze the change in the financial performance of global aircraft leasing companies, one of the most important stakeholders of the airline industry during this crisis period. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the financial performance of global aircraft leasing companies in the period from Q1 2018 to Q4 2020. In the study, we analyzed the financial data of 6 global aircraft leasing companies using the CRITIC-based CODAS method. Our findings indicate that some aircraft leasing companies have been ahead of the competition due to the Covid-19 pandemic, while others have fallen behind in the financial performance rankings. Therefore, our results prove that aircraft leasing companies are affected by the covid-19 pandemic. Our analysis on a sectoral basis indicates the relationship between the debt repayment capacity of airlines and the performance of leasing companies.

(Elsevier Science INC., 2021) Aydın, Leyla Zengin; Yiğitalp, Gülhan
Introduction: Physiological and psychological changes are observed during the postmenopausal period. In nursing practice reflexology has been used to cope with changes during this period. This study was conducted to determine whether reflexology could improve sleep quality and decrease fatigue in postmenopausal women. Methods: This randomized controlled study was carried out between April and December 2018. The study sample consisted of 72 postmenopausal women (36 in the intervention group and 36 in the control group). Reflexology was applied in a total of 12 sessions by the researcher on the postmenopausal women in the intervention group. The data were collected using an Introductory Information Form, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS). Results: After applying reflexology, the intervention group exhibited a decrease in mean PSQI posttest total score which was significantly different to the control group (Cohen's d = 3.07, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0,612- 4,268) (p 0.001). However, the differences between the control group and the intervention group scores were not statistically significant for the subjective sleep quality, sleep latency or sleep disorder components (p 0.05). After reflexology application, the mean total FSS score of the women in the intervention group decreased, and the difference between the two scores was significant (Cohen's d = 1.83, 95 % CI:-9,819-4,042) (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Post-menopausal women benefited after the application of reflexology as sleep quality increased and fatigue decreased. Reflexology could be used as a non-pharmacological therapeutic option offered in nursing care.

(Sage Publications INC., 2021) Baksi, Altun; Sürücü, Hamdiye Arda; Damar, Hale Turhan; Sungur, Meltem
This study aimed to examine the relationship between older adults' readiness for discharge after surgery and satisfaction with nursing care and effects factors, using a descriptive, cross-sectional design that included 204 older adults. Examining the state of readiness for the discharge of older adults who underwent surgery in terms of the expected support sub-dimension of patients revealed that the presence of someone to support home care, the existence of health insurance, living with someone, undergoing emergency surgery, and being illiterate were statistically significant predictors. Thought of improvement in terms of nursing care between prior hospitalization and the latest hospitalization, use of intensive care unit, male, nursing care satisfaction, and the existence of health insurance were statistically significant predictors of the readiness for discharge in older adults after surgery in terms of personal status sub-dimension. Accordingly, an individual approach that takes these characteristics/variables into account is recommended when planning discharge.

Psychological hardiness and spirituality in patients with primary brain tumors: A Comparative study
(Springer, 2021) Baksi, Altun; Sürücü, Hamdiye Arda; Genç, Hasan
The purpose of this research was to compare healthy individuals with patients having primary brain tumors (PBTs) with respect to their psychological hardiness and spirituality. In this study, a comparative and descriptive research design was employed. The research sample included 122 individuals: 61 patients with PBTs and 61 healthy individuals. When healthy individuals were compared with patients with PBTs, it was found that the patients with PBTs had significantly lower mean scores for spirituality and psychological hardiness. The study revealed that spirituality (beta = .661) and age (beta = - .270) were statistically significant predictors of psychological hardiness (p < .001). These variables explained 53% of the total variance. To decrease the negative effects of PBTs on psychological hardiness, nurses and other health staffs should focus on strategies that strengthen patients' spirituality.

(Cambridge University Press, 2021) Duman, Mesude; Ozan, Yeter Durgun; Yüksekol, Özlem Doğan
Objective This study was conducted to determine the relationship between religious attitudes of Muslim women with gynecologic cancer and mental adjustment to cancer. Methods Designed as a descriptive relational study, this study was conducted with 123 patients with gynecologic cancer. A personal information form, prepared in accordance with the literature, the Religious Attitude Scale (RAS), and the Mental Adjustment to Cancer Scale (MACS) were used as data collection tools. The data were assessed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation analysis, and linear regression analysis. Results A positive correlation was determined between the RAS score and the fighting spirit subscale of the MACS (r = 0.65, p < 0.001). A negative correlation was found between the helplessness/hopelessness and anxious preoccupation subscales of the MACS and the RAS score (r = -0.40, p < 0.001; r = -0.30, p < 0.001, respectively). Significance of results The present results are helpful in understanding the influence of religious attitudes on the mental adjustment to gynecologic cancer patients. The results can serve as a reference for nursing education and clinical healthcare practice. Palliative healthcare providers can participate in improved care by recognizing spiritual needs and by advocating for attention to spiritual needs as a routine part of cancer care
