Bu çalışmanın amacı; işbirlikli öğrenmede kullanılan Jigsaw tekniğinin hemşirelik öğrencilerinin aile planlaması yöntemlerini öğrenmelerine etkisini ve öğrencilerin tekniğe ilişkin görüşlerini belirlemektir. Ön test – son test yarı deneysel tipte çalışmadır. Örneklemi hemşirelik bölümü 3. sınıfından 68 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Öğrenciler Jigsaw tekniğine uygun olarak uzman gruplara ayrılarak akran çalışması yapmıştır. Araştırma verileri Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Aile Planlaması Yöntemleri Soru Formu ve Jigsaw Görüş Ölçeği ile sınıf ortamında çevrimiçi anket platformu kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Veriler SPSS 26.0 programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin %68,6’sı kız, katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 20,63±0,82 ve %82’9’u aile planlaması yöntemleri hakkında daha önce eğitim almamıştır. Aile Planlaması Yöntemleri Soru Formu son test puan ortalaması (95,47±5,73) ön test puan ortalamasından (61,23± 14,46) anlamlı olarak daha yüksektir (t=137,234; p

Bu çalışma kadınların yaşam dönemlerine göre dismenore şiddeti ve etkileyen faktörlerin incelenmesi amacıyla yapıldı. Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tasarımdaki bu araştırmanın evrenini doğum deneyimleyen kadınlar, örneklemini ise çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden kadınlar (n=305) oluşturdu. Veriler, araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan elektronik bir form ile toplandı. Formda kadınların yaşamları, evlenmeden/ilk cinsel ilişkiden önceki dönem, gebelik öncesi dönem ve doğum sonu 12. aydan sonraki dönem olarak 3’e ayrıldı ve her döneme özgü dismenore öyküleri sorgulandı. Dismenore şiddeti veri toplama formu içerisinde yer alan VAS ile değerlendirildi. Yaş ortalaması 38.00±6,32 olan kadınların yarıdan fazlası (%60,7) dismenorenin yaşam dönemlerini etkilediğini ifade etti (p>0,05). Kadınların yaşam dönemlerine göre dismenore şiddetleri incelendiğinde; dismenore şiddetinin evlilik öncesi dönemde 6,32±2,36, gebelik öncesi dönemde 5,59±2,40 ve doğum sonu dönemde 4,53±2,30 olduğu belirlendi (p=0.000). Doğum yapmış olma, kanama şiddeti, adetle ilgili stres yaşama kadının tüm yaşam dönemlerinde dismenore şiddetini etkileyen faktör iken, sigara kullanımı, küretaj deneyimleme ve üreme organlarındaki sorun ise sadece doğum sonu dönemdeki dismenore ile ilişkili bulundu (p

Data were collected by face-to-face interview method using a questionnaire and HLS. Results: In the study, the mean age of women with gynecological cancer is 60.81±11.18. The mean total score of the women's HLS is 94.38±13.91. The factors that are found to be significantly (p0.05).

Aim: This study aimed to analyze the content of Instagram posts on breastfeeding. Method: The data from this descriptive and cross-sectional study were collected by one researcher three times. At each data collection time, the most recent 50 posts were coded using the following hashtags #breastfeeding, #breastmilk, #breastfeeding, #breastmilk, #breastfeeding, and #breastmilk. Results: Of these posts, 62.7% were Turkish and 94.7% had visuals. The average number of likes for the posts was 815.70±1883.095 (Min:1-Max:10,531) and the average number of comments was 34.08±64.106 (Min:0-Max:391). Posts with higher likes were more likely to mention the benefits of breastfeeding to mothers (p= 0.030). Posts with a higher number of comments were more likely to mention the following: breastfeeding every time the infant was hungry (p=0.004), breastfeeding until the signs of satiety were observed (p=0.007), and the effect of breastfeeding on the infant's growth (p=0.013). Conclusion: Sharing of posts by health professionals was determined to be the reason for the increased likelihood of getting likes. Therefore, the use of new technologies by health professionals is crucial for achieving better results in health education.

The promotion of breast self-examination (BSE) in developing countries is the main strategy for reducing breast cancer-related mortality. For this reason, determining the barriers to perform BSE for nurses, who play a key role in the health education of the society, should be a priority step. This research was conducted to determine the barriers to perform BSE for nurses. The sample of this descriptive, cross-sectional study consisted of 276 nurses working in an education and research hospital, agreed to participate in the study. The data of the study, which was conducted between January and June 2020, were collected using face-to-face interview method via questionnaire form and Champion Health Belief Model Scale (CHBMS). Number and percentage distribution, One Way ANOVA, Student t-test, Kruskal-Wallis, MannWhitney U test, Spearman Correlation and Multi-directional Regression Analysis were used in data analysis. The mean age of the nurses participating in the study was 32.56±9.07. 52.9% of the nurses are single and the majority (75.7%) are university graduates. 73.9% of the nurses perform BSE. The rate of those who perform BSE at the right time is 40.5%. The difference between the disability, trust, and health motivation sub-dimension mean scores of nurses who perform BSE and those who do not are statistically significant. In this study, according to the health belief model used to determine the barriers to nurses' BSE performance, disability perception scores were high, the factors that most affect the perception of disability were marriage, having children, the clinic which they work, breast cancer risk, age, working year and sensitivity, severity. It was determined that they had benefit, sense of trust and health motivation.
