This study aimed to assess the level of nurses' knowledge about bariatric surgery and to find the relationship between Nurses' knowledge about bariatric surgery and their demographic characteristics (age, gender, level of education, and years of experience). A descriptive-analytic study was conducted on nurses' knowledge toward bariatric surgery at surgical wards at Al-Sader Teaching Hospital, Al-Faiha Teaching Hospital, and Al-Mawani Teaching Hospital in Al-Basra City. The period of the study was extended from the 15 th of November 2020 to the fifth of April 2021. Purposive (non-probability) sample covers (100) nurses who work in the surgical wards, a questionnaire was designed to investigate nurses' demographics, knowledge toward obesity, bariatric surgery, complications of bariatric surgery, and postoperative nursing care and patient education. The results of this study showed that 85% of studied nurses had poor knowledge about bariatric surgery, 14% of nurses had moderate knowledge and only 1% of nurses had good knowledge.

“…Bu bağlamda çalışmamızda yoğun bakım hemşirelerinin büyük çoğunluğunun obez hastalara karşı önyargılı ve önyargıya eğilimli olması literatür ile benzerlik göstermektedir. Literatürde sağlık çalışanlarının obeziteye karşı olumlu tutu-ma sahip olduğunu bildiren çalışmalar da bulunmaktadır (20)(21)(22)(23). Obeziteye karşı olumlu tutum bakımın kalitesini ve hasta memnuniyetini olumlu yönde etkilerken olumsuz tutum ve davranışlar ise bakımın kalitesini olumsuz yönde…”

Amaç: Araştırmanın amacı yoğun bakım hemşirelerinin obez hastalara karşı tutumları ile bakım verme davranışları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı nitelikte olan bu çalışma Ekim 2022-Şubat 2023 tarihinde bir şehir hastanesinin yoğun bakım ünitelerinde görev yapan 204 hemşire ile gerçekleştirildi. Veriler tanıtıcı bilgi formu, Obezite Önyargı Ölçeği ve Bakım Davranışları Ölçeği kullanılarak çevrimiçi anket (Google Forms) uygulaması ile toplandı. Veriler tanımlayıcı istatistiklerin yanı sıra bağımsız gruplarda t-test, One Way Anova ve Pearson korelasyon ile analiz edildi. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin yaş ortalaması 26,17±2,35 yıl olup, %95,1’i lisans mezunu idi. Yoğun bakım deneyim süresi 2,39±1,88 yıl idi. Hemşirelerin %81,9’u mesleğini severek yaptığını, %62,7’sinin obez hastaya bakım vermek istemediğini, %52,9’u obezite konusunda eğitim almadığını ve %94,1’i obez hastaya bakım verirken zorlandığını belirtti. Hemşirelerin Obezite Önyargı Ölçeği puan ortalaması 86,37±8,53 olup %38,2’sinin ön yargıya eğilimli, %59,8’inin ön yargılı olduğu saptandı. Obezite Önyargı Ölçeği toplam puanı ile yaş arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı negatif yönlü bir ilişki bulundu (p= 0,045). Bakım Davranışları Ölçeği puan ortalaması 5,38±0,56 olup hemşirelerin bakım kalitesine ilişkin algılarının yüksek olduğu belirlendi. Araştırmada hemşirelerin Bakım Davranışları Ölçeği ile Obezite Önyargı Ölçeği arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı (p= 0,240). Sonuç: Yoğun bakım hemşirelerinin tamamına yakınının obez hastalara karşı önyargılı ve önyargıya eğilimli olduğu, bakım kalitesine ilişkin algılarının ise yüksek olduğu bulundu. Obezite önyargı düzeylerinin bakım davranışları üzerine etkili olmadığı saptandı. Bu durum hemşirelerin obez hastalara karşı bakım davranışlarında ön yargılarından ziyade mesleki değerlerin etkili olduğunu düşündürmektedir.

“…That is, the BI of the patients they will care for may be affected by the patient' s illness or treatment, and their negative attitudes toward BI promotes avoidance of patients, resulting in the contradicting the nursing profession mission (Goad et al, 2018;Duarte et al, 2021). More importantly, when nurses place their personal prejudice on patients, their willingness to provide support maybe negatively affected (Ak et al, 2021). Additionally, patients' uncomfortable experiences of nursing care often lead to decrease willingness to search for medical services, resulting in producing unsatisfied treatment outcomes (Ak et al, 2021).…”

Additionally, patients' uncomfortable experiences of nursing care often lead to decrease willingness to search for medical services, resulting in producing unsatisfied treatment outcomes (Ak et al, 2021). Incorporating BA within the nursing may help nurses and nursing students appreciate, respect, and accept their BI and enable them to form positive attitudes toward the patients' BI and their nursing care (Goad et al, 2018).…”

BackgroundNowadays, the effect of body image (BI) on negative affect among nursing college students has been ignored. This study used person-centered methods to evaluate the profiles of body appreciation (BA) among Chinese nursing students. We explored the predictive factors of these profiles and examined the difference in negative affect among the profiles.MethodsA cross-sectional survey study was conducted in a university in Anhui province, China. Five hundred and forty-one Chinese nursing students from a nursing college of a larger university completed this survey. Participants completed the Sociodemographic Characteristics Questionnaire, the Self-concept Clarity Scale, the Body Appreciation Scale-2, and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale. Latent profile analysis was employed to classify the BA profiles, and multinomial logistic regression analysis were conducted using the three-step regression and Bolck-Croon- Hagenaars method to test the relationship between the latent profiles of BA, several covariates (including gender, age, year of schooling, residence, academic achievement level, interpersonal relationship status, whether the student is an only child, duration of use of social media platforms, body mass index (BMI), and self-concept clarity (SCC)), and negative affect.ResultsAnalysis resulted in a four-profile model that included a “low BA” group (14.42%), an “upper medium BA” group (36.41%), a “lower medium BA” group (36.97%), and a “high BA” group (12.20%). SCC, years of schooling, interpersonal relationship status, and BMI were found to be the predictive factors of BA profiles. The four profiles differed in levels of stress, depression, and anxiety.ConclusionOur study showed that more than half of nursing students were dissatisfied with their BI and the predictive factors evaluated and negative affect were associated with the profiles of BA. Nursing faculties should take measures to help students develop a more appropriate awareness of nursing aesthetics, a healthier lifestyle, a better interpersonal relationship with family members and peers, and a clearer self-concept to promote body appreciation and reduce negative affect related to BI.
