Purpose: To determine the relationship between the anxiety states and knowledge levels of female midwifery students about COVID-19 during the outbreak. Design and Methods: This cross-sectional study carried out with online participation of 972 female midwifery students. Findings: The anxiety levels of the female midwifery students were high among those visiting the hospital during the pandemic and having parents or relatives who had chronic diseases. Female midwifery students had a high level of knowledge regarding COVID-19. Practice Implications: Female midwives of the future will take part in primary health care services in the protection and promotion of health as an important occupational group in the public health system. To determine mental health and psychological needs of them during the outbreak will greatly contribute to the pandemic management process.

Anne sütü yenidoğanın gelişimini destekleyecek özelliklere sahip en önemli besindir. Emzirmenin yenidoğanın gelişimi ve anne sağlığı üzerine olumlu etkilerinin yanında, anne-bebek-aile için bir etkileşim aracı olduğu da kabul edilmiştir. Son yıllarda, Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (WHO) ve Birleşmiş Milletler Çocuklara Yardım Fonu (UNICEF) bebeklerin, ilk 6 ay içerisinde sadece anne sütü ile beslenmeleri, tam emzirmenin sağlanması gerektiğini vurgulamıştır. Fakat emzirmenin erken devrede başlatılmasını ve sürdürülmesini engelleyici faktörler bulunmaktadır. Bunlar, emzirmede başarısızlık, doğumun şekli, yenidoğanın durumu, meme başı çatlakları gibi anne ve yenidoğana ait faktörler olabildiği gibi, çalışma hayatı, ten tene temasın sağlanamaması, ilaç kullanımı, alkol ve sigara kullanımı, uyku, babanın rolü, sağlık personelinin ilgisizliği, diyabet, HIV, tüberküloz, meme kanseri gibi hastalıklar da emzirme davranışını olumsuz etkilemektedir.Bu derlemede, başarılı emzirmenin başlatılmasını ve sürdürülmesi etkileyen faktörlere ilişkin çalışmalar incelenecektir. Emzirmenin sürdürülmesinde ve desteklenmesinde hemşirelerin liderlik, bakım verme ve eğitimci rolleri literatür doğrultusunda irdelenecektir.
BackgroundDuring the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic period, most university courses in Turkey have been taught via distance education. Beyond knowledge of digital technologies, self-efficacy is known to affect the learning motivation and learning goals of students.PurposeThis study was conducted to determine the relationship between eHealth literacy and self-efficacy levels in midwifery students receiving distance education during the current COVID-19 pandemic. The research data were collected using a literature-based questionnaire developed by the researchers, the eHealth Literacy Scale for Adolescents, and the Online Technologies Self-Efficacy Scale. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0, with values of p < .05 considered to be significant.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was carried out during the COVID-19 pandemic on a sample of 578 female midwifery students. Snowball sampling method was used for data collection using an online questionnaire.ResultsOn the basis of the results, eHealth literacy and self-efficacy levels were relatively low in students who were 20 years old or below, who were in their first year, who were from low-income families, who spent less than an hour a day on the Internet, who had a low level of satisfaction with distance education, and who wanted to continue taking theoretical courses via distance education. In addition, self-efficacy related to online technologies was shown to be relatively low in students who found Internet services to be expensive, who had Internet connection problems, and who preferred asynchronous courses. Furthermore, a significant relationship was found between eHealth literacy and self-efficacy levels for online education.Conclusions/Implications for PracticeIn the context of distance education, integrating the teaching/promotion of self-efficacy with regard to eHealth literacy and online technologies into midwifery education curriculum should better enable midwives to increase the quality of healthcare they provide and improve patient safety.
Aim: The present study aims to investigate the knowledge and attitudes of the nursing students concerning Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. Method: This cross-sectional study was carried out over 810 undergraduate students studying in the departments of nursing at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University (n=404) and Trakya University (n=406) between November 2017 and March 2018. The data were collected with an information form developed by the researchers based on the available literature. They were analyzed with descriptive statistics and Chi-square test by using SPSS 21.0, a statistical software program.Findings: The results concerning the knowledge of the nursing students on HPV vaccine showed that 65.8% heard of HPV vaccine, 51.6% had no prior knowledge on HPV vaccine, 93.7% wished to be informed about HPV vaccine, 40.4% thought that HPV vaccine should be administered to any person with an active sexual life, 68.6% and 73.1% thought that HPV vaccine was effective in the prevention of genital warts and cervical cancer, respectively. The results on the participants’ attitudes towards HPV vaccine revealed that 96.5% of the participants did not receive HPV vaccine while 60.1% wished to receive it.Conclusion: Most of the nursing students had no knowledge of HPV vaccine and very few received it.

ÖzetAmaç: Bu çalışmada, hemşirelik bölümü öğrencilerinin HPV aşısına yönelik bilgi ve tutumlarını incelemek amaçlanmıştır.Yöntem: Kesitsel tipteki bu çalışma, Kasım 2017-Mart 2018 tarihleri arasında Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart (n=404) ve Trakya (n=406) Üniversitesi hemşirelik bölümünde eğitim alan n=810 öğrenci ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırma verileri araştırmacılar tarafından literatür incelenerek hazırlanan bir bilgi formu ile toplanmıştır. Veriler tanımlayıcı istatistik ve Ki-kare testi yöntemleri ile SPSS 21.0 istatistiksel paket programı kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir.Bulgular: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin HPV aşısı ile ilgili bilgi durumlarına bakıldığında; %65.8’inin HPV aşısını duyduğu, %51.6’sının HPV aşısı hakkında daha önce bilgi almadığı, %93.7’sinin HPV aşısı hakkında bilgi almak istediği, %40.4’ü HPV aşısının cinsel aktif olan herkese yapılması gerektiğini düşündüğü, %68.6’sının HPV aşısının genital siğilleri ve %73.1’inin serviks kanserini önlemede etkili olduğunu düşündüğü belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin HPV aşısı ile ilgili tutumları incelendiğinde; %96.5’inin HPV aşısını yaptırmadığı, %60.1’inin HPV aşısı yaptırmak istediği saptanmıştır.Sonuç: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin çoğunluğu HPV aşısı hakkında bilgi almamış olup çok az sayıda öğrenci HPV aşısını yaptırmıştır.
