Objectives:To develop a valid and reliable measurement tool to determine the anxiety level of pregnant women in labor.Methods:This study is a methodological research for developing an Anxiety Assessment Scale for Pregnant Women in Labor (AASPWL) and descriptive research for determining the anxiety level of pregnant women in labor. This study included a total of 269 pregnant women from the delivery room of a training and research hospital between November 2016 and July 2017. The study consists of 2 stages: the first stage includes scale content, construct validity, and reliability; the second stage involves examination of the relationship and effects by establishing a model with the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI).Results:Construct validity was established using a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and an exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Cronbach’s alpha value was calculated to be 0.77 for the reliability of the developed AASPWL.Conclusion:The AASPWL is a reliable and valid scale that can be used to assess the anxiety level of women in labor.
Purpose: This study aims to examine the effects of activity groups using art activities on resilience and related factors in mothers with disabled children. Design and Methods: This randomized controlled experimental design study was conducted with 33 mothers (18 in the control and 15 in the intervention group). Findings: A statistically significant difference was found between the intervention group's pretest and posttest mean scores on the Resilience Scale for Adults, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, Zarit Burden Interview, and 12-item General Health Questionnaire scales. Implications for Nursing Practice: The psychological activity groups that used art activities were found to increase psychological well-being and satisfaction with life among the families of disabled children with various types of distress (physical, psychological, economic, and social), as well as reducing their mothers' perceived caregiving burden.
Aim: The object of the study is to determine the relationship of orthorexic tendencies with the eating attitude and obsessive symptoms.
ÖzPurpose: Infertility is a health problem that causes psychological, physiological and social problems such as hopelessness, loneliness, anxiety, depression, social withdrawal, marital maladjustment, divorce etc. This study aims at identifying the relationship between dyadic adjustment and hopelessness among infertile women.
A AB BS S TTR RA AC CT T O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : To evaluate the effects of situational anxiety, stress and depression on 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitorization (ABPM) in patients with hypertension. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : Three hundred twenty-six medically treated hypertensive patients were included in the study. According to their 24-hour ABPM results 162 patients were categorized as dipper hypertensives, 164 patients were categorized as non-dipper hypertensives. All patients completed self-report questionnaires which include General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), State-trait anxiety inventory (STAI) form TX-I and STAI form TX-II before ABPM. STAI FORM TX-I questionnaire was repeated after ABPM. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : GHQ and STAI FORM TX-I score of the non-dipper group were statistically significantly higher than the dipper group. Following ABPM, there was a statistically significant decrease in STAI FORM TX-I score in non-dipper group. A positive correlation was found between age and STAI FORM TX-I score (r=0.531, p=0.0001). There were significant differences in GHQ-12 and STAI FORM TX-I scores among groups according to education level (F=6.175, p=0.003 and F=5.877, p=0.003, respectively). Post hoc analysis revealed that the significance was due to the differences between group 3 (university level) and group 1 and 2 (elementary school and high school level). STAI FORM TX-I scores of the patients differed significantly in terms of their socioeconomic status (F=5.9701, p=0.003). Patients with higher socioeconomic status had lower STAI FORM TX-I scores compared to the middle and poor socioeconomic status. C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : Situational anxiety, especially in elderly, poor and lower-educated patients might be a factor for non-dipping phenomenon.

Çalışmamızda durumsal anksiyete ve depresyonun 24-saatlik ambulatuar kan basıncı monitorizasyonu üzerine (AKBM) etkilerini araştırmak istedik. G Ge er re eç ç v ve e Y Yö ön nt te em ml le er r: : Çalışmaya hipertansiyon tanısı ile izlenen 326 hasta alındı. Tüm hastalara 24-saatlik AKBM yapıldı. Sonuçlara göre 164 hasta non-dipper hipertansif, 162 hasta ise dipper hipertansif olarak gruplandırıldı. Tüm hastalara Genel Sağlık Anketi (GSA-12), Durumluluk-Süreklilik Kaygı Ölçeği (DSKÖ) form TX-1 ve TX-2 uygulandı. DSKÖ form TX-I AKBM sonrası tekarlandı. B Bu ul lg gu ul la ar r: : İki grup arasında DSKÖ form TX-2 puanları arasında fark gözlenmedi. GSA-12 ve DSKÖ form TX-1 puanları non-dipper grupta anlamlı olarak yüksek bulundu. AKBM sonrası non-dipper grupta DSKÖ form TX-1 puanında anlamlı düşüş gözlenirken, bu düşüş dipper grupta istatistiksel anlamlılığa ulaşmadı. DSKÖ form TX-1 puanı ile yaş arasında pozitif ilişki saptandı (r=0,531, p=0,0001). Eğitim seviyesine göre GSA-12 ve DSKÖ...
