    Karakurt, Papatya; Kasimoğlu, Necla; Bahçeli, Aybike; Atalikoğlu Başkan, Sebahat; Ağdemir, Burcu

    Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally, and nurses have a crucial role in informing cardiovascular disease patients about their diseases. The aim of the present study was to identify the effect of activities of daily living on the self-care agency of patients in a cardiovascular surgery clinic. This descriptive study was conducted between June 2014 and January 2015 with 180 patients hospitalized in the cardiovascular surgery clinic of a university hospital in the province of Erzincan in the Eastern region of Turkey. The data of the study were gathered using a descriptive form designed by the authors, Katz index of activities of daily living scale (ADLS), Lawton-Brody instrumental activities of daily living scale (IADLS), and self-care agency scale (SCAS). The data were processed using computer software and assessed using percentages, means, t test for independent groups, one-way analysis of variance, and correlation analysis tests. It was found that 50.6% of the patients were ≥65 years, 66.1% were male, 46.1% perceived their health status as moderate, and 35.6% had previously had heart attacks. The patients’ mean ADLS score was 16.39 ± 2.30, their mean IADLS score was 19.23 ± 4.16, and their mean SCAS score was 92.11 ± 18.81. The patients’ education level and perceived health were found to affect their mean SCAS scores. In addition, there was a positive correlation between the patients’ ADLS and IADLS scores and their SCAS score. It was also noted that patients were more independent on the ADL and IADL, and that their self-care agency was higher.

    Aşılar, Rabia Hacıhasanoğlu; İnandı, Tacettin; Yıldırım, Arzu; Karakurt, Papatya; Sağlam, Rabia

    RESULTS: The overall hypertension frequency was 67.0% (69.6% in women and 63% in men). In the study sample, 77.4% of individuals were aware of their hypertension, all were receiving anti-hypertensive drugs, and 33.9% of patients had their blood pressure under control. Among all hypertensive individuals, the percentage of controlled hypertension (HT) was 26.2%. The frequency of hypertension was associated with age, body mass index (BMI), smoking, level of education, the use of salt, and diabetes.; AIM: The aim of this study is to determine the frequency, awareness, treatment and control of hypertension in population over 40 years of age who came to the 5 primary health care centers in Erzincan for any reason.; METHODS: This cross-sectional study was completed with 1570 people aged 40 and older, who received care at health care centers between January and May 2009. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews, and blood pressures were measured twice. Participants were considered as hypertensive if their average systolic blood pressure was ≥140 mmHg, or their average diastolic blood pressure was ≥90 mmHg, or if they were taking antihypertensive medication. The awareness, treatment and control status of the individuals were also assessed.; CONCLUSION: These results indicate that the frequency of HT was high, and it was inadequately managed in individuals who came to the primary healthcare centers for any reason and received treatment. Many of the individuals were not aware of their illness. Therefore, it becomes very important and necessary to ensure early diagnosis and control of hypertension and to develop strategies to increase awareness.

    Yildirim, Arzu; Hacihasanoǧlu Aşilar, Rabia; Karakurt, Papatya

    Aims and objectives: This study was conducted to examine the effect of psychosocial education provided to mothers with intellectually disabled children on the risk of depression and perception of family functioning in those mothers. Background: Families with intellectually disabled children need encouragement, support and training to more actively participate in their children's education and to positively affect their children's growth and development. Design: Randomised controlled study. Methods: The study included the mothers of 75 intellectually disabled children (40 intervention, 35 control). The mothers in the intervention group who participated in a routine program at private education and rehabilitation centres attended four different psychosocial educational sessions. Sessions were conducted once a week for four weeks and lasted 120 minutes. The control group attended only the routine program of the private education and rehabilitation centre. Results: Our study results showed that after completion of the educational program, there was a greater decrease in the risk for depression in the intervention group when compared to the control group, and the former perceived their family functions better. These differences were statistically significant (p < 0·001). Conclusions: The education given by nurses to mothers who have children with intellectual disabilities may be effective in reducing the risk for depression and in increasing the perception of healthy family functioning. Relevance to clinical practice: Psychosocial nursing education program can contribute to the use of evidence-based education strategies in nursing practice to improve the mental health for mothers with intellectually disabled children.

    Karakurt, Papatya; Kaşikçi, Maĝfiret

    The aim of this study descriptive study was to evaluate concordance with medication and those factors that affect the use of medicine in patients with hypertension. Data were collected using a questionnaire completed by 750 patients with hypertension between December 25, 2003, and April 30, 2004, in an outpatient hypertension clinic in Erzincan, Turkey. It was found that 57.9% of the patients did not use their medicines as prescribed. Forgetfulness, aloneness, and negligence were ranked as the top three reasons for this non-concordance, accounting for almost half (49.3%) of all patients with hypertension studied; price (expensive medicines) accounted for another quarter (26.5%). A statistically significant relationship with non-concordance was found for age, education level and profession. Patients' lack of knowledge related to the complications of hypertension was also found to have a statistically significant relationship with not taking medicines as prescribed. Gender, location of residence and salary were not found to be statistically related to concordance. These results indicate the need to educate patients with hypertension on how to use their medicine regularly and indicate also the target populations for this.

    Introduction: The aim of this research was to determine the level of knowledge of the elderly on using prescribed drugs, and to examine the effects of providing a drug education program, with a pretest-posttest and semi experiment model. Materials and Method: The study sample consisted of 40 elderly individuals aged 65 or over who presented to the primary healthcare centers number 1 and 3 located in the city center of Erzincan between February and May 2008 with one or more chronic diseases and who were using medications continuously. Data were collected using a descriptive form for the elderly, and a form for determination and assessment of level of knowledge on drugs. For each elderly person, an individualized drug education card was prepared with a computer. The cards contained information on name, dosage, purpose of use, side effects, and storage conditions of the drug and how to use it. Drug education was provided by the researchers on a face to face basis. The knowledge levels of patients were evaluated before and after the education program. Results: Post-test scores were statistically significantly higher than the pre-test scores in terms of a number of items including knowing the name, side effects, duration of usage, of the medicine, etc (p<0.001). Conclusion: We suggest that individualized nurse-directed drug education programs will be very helpful for the elderly to ensure successful drug management.
