This study aimed to create a measurement tool for the determination of university students' health beliefs about testicular cancer (TC) and self-examination. This is a methodological and cross-sectional study. The study sample included 425 university students. Consents and approvals were obtained from the relevant institutions and the ethics committee prior to the research. The data were collected using an interview form that included questions about descriptive characteristics, family history of TC, and knowledge, beliefs, and practice of self-examination. The health belief model including 41 questions about self-examination and the interview form were administered to the students in their classrooms at a suitable time. Principal components analysis and varimax rotation were used for the examination of the structures of the factors. Accordingly, factor patterns, self-values, and the variance percentages they explained were evaluated. The average age of the participants is 22.2 ± 2.3 (min = 17; max = 40). Of them, 98.8% of the participants are single ( n = 420). Of them, 56.2% have heard about TC before, and 18.4% said they were informed about TC. Factor loading of the items in the first factor was 0.64 to 0.89, while it was 0.48 to 0.75 for the items in the second factor, 0.50 to 0.87 for the items in the third factor, 0.37 to 0.68 for the items in the fourth factor, 0.51 to 0.68 for the items in the fifth factor, and 0.65 to 0.79 for the items in the sixth factor. The health belief model scale may be used in TC screenings for males to measure susceptibility, seriousness, health motivation, barriers, benefits, and self-efficacy.

Providing effective care to patients and making the right decisions in difficult working environments depend on moral sensitivity. Emotional intelligence and ethical sensitivity affect nursing care. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between nursing students' emotional intelligence and ethical sensitivity levels. The research employed a descriptive-correlational design, 201 nursing students studying at a university in the Central Anatolia region, Turkey, participated in the study. Students' ethical sensitivity was found to be significant. The nursing students received the highest score in the "Interpersonal Orientation" sub-dimension of the Moral Sensitivity Scale, while their lowest score was observed in the "Experiencing ethical dilemma" sub-dimension. The SSREIT and MMSQSN total scores of the students who willingly chose the nursing department and loved their field were found to be higher. It was found that the ethical sensitivity of nursing students was at a significant level and gender, family type, having sibling(s) and perception of economic status affected the level of ethical sensitivity.

Bu ar aştır manın amacı; hemşir elik öğr encilerinde uyku kalitesi ile akademik başarı arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Materyal ve Metot: Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu ar aştır ma; Şubat 2020-Haziran 2020 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma; bir üniversitenin Hemşirelik Fakültesinde okuyan 280 öğrenci ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırma verileri Covid-19 salgını nedeniyle online formlar kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Araştırmada öğrencilerin özelliklerini değerlendirmeye yönelik bilgi formu ve Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi (PUKİ) kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Ar aştır maya katılanlar ın PUKİ puan or talaması 6,36±2,54'tür. Öğrencilerin %58,2'si PUKİ' ye göre kötü uyku kalitesine sahiptir. Araştırmada sigara kullananların PUKİ puan ortalaması 7,68±2,56; yatmadan önce kafeinli içecek tüketenlerin PUKİ puan ortalaması 7,16±2,59; ders dinlerken uyuklayan öğrencilerin PUKİ puan ortalaması ise 6,55±2,63'tür. Sigara kullanan, yatmadan önce kafeinli içecek tüketen ve ders dinlerken uyuklayan öğrencilerin PUKİ'ye göre uyku kalitelerinin daha kötü olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmaya katılanların PUKİ puan ortalamaları ile akademik puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur (r<0,20, p<0,05). Sonuç: Hemşir elik öğr enciler inin genel olar ak uyku kalitelerinin kötü olduğu; uyku kalitesi PUKİ puanına göre kötü olanların akademik puan ortalamalarının daha düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir. Gelecekte profesyonel sağlık hizmetlerinin sunumunda yer alacak olan hemşirelik öğrencilerinin uyku kalitesinin önemi konusunda bilinçlendirilmesi için uygun danışmanlık hizmetleri verilebilir.
