    Determining Self-Efficacy of Nurses Who Graduated From Distance Education Because of the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study
    Baysal, E; Çetin, SP; Demirkol, H; Erol, A
    Background: The current literature states that distance education has caused a lack of professional skills, regression of existing professional skills (Kaya & Akin Isik, 2021; Kurtuncu & Kurt, 2020), a lack of self-confidence, and feelings of inadequacy among nursing students (George et al., 2020). The current study examined the professional self-efficacy of nurses who graduated from distance education because of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Method: This multicenter crosssectional study was conducted between November 2020 and June 2022 with 164 nurses who graduated from distance education in 2020-2021 from three faculties of health sciences. Results: Professional self -efficacy of the nurses was found to be above average. Male nurses and nurses who believed distance education had a negative impact on their professional skills had significantly higher professional self-efficacy. Some nurses reported that their professional theoretical knowledge was insufficient and defined the effect of distance education on their professional skills as relatively negative. Conclusion: Most of the nurses expressed that distance education had a negative effect on their professional self-efficacy and working life.

    Effects of the Neuro-Linguistic Programing Technique Used in the Education Given to Nurses about Central Venous Applications and Blood Culture Collection on Their Knowledge Level
    Çevik, K; Çetin, SP; Eroglu, S
    Objective: The present study was conducted as an experimental study and aimed at determining the effectiveness of the neuro-linguistic programing (NLP) technique used in the education given to nurses about central venous catheter (CVC) applications and blood culture collection on their knowledge level. Methods: This present study was conducted with 65 nurses in two state hospitals in the Manisa Province, Turkey, between April 2015 and May 2015. Data were collected using three questionnaires prepared by the researchers in accordance with the relevant literature: Nurses' Sociodemographic Characteristics Questionnaire, Nurses' Perceptions of CVC Care and Blood Culture Collection Questionnaire, and Nurses' Knowledge of CVC Care and Blood Culture Collection Questionnaire. Randomization was not performed in the experimental and control groups. The training with NLP techniques lasts longer than standard training. Because of the working conditions of the hospitals, some nurses had to leave early in training. The nurses who continued training formed the experimental group and those who had to leave early in training formed the control group. Results: The mean scores obtained from the Nurses' Knowledge of CVC Care and Blood Culture Collection Questionnaire were 0.62 +/- 0.13 in the control group and 0.63 +/- 0.08 in the experimental group before the training and 0.66 +/- 0.12 in the control group and 0.74 +/- 0.09 in the experimental group after the training. While there was no significant difference between the two groups (control and experimental) before the education (p>0.05), there was a significant difference between them after the education (p<0.05). Conclusion: In line with the study findings, it can be said that NLP techniques used in the training were effective.

    Effects of Vibration and Cold Application on Pain and Anxiety During Intravenous Catheterization
    Çetin, SP; Çevik, K
    Purpose: To determine the effects of vibration and cold gel pack application on pain and anxiety levels of patients undergoing intravenous (IV) catheterization. Design: A randomized controlled, pretest and post-test experimental study. Methods: Catheterization was performed 60 seconds before the IV catheterization procedure was started by applying vibration and cold gel pack to patients in the experimental group. Patients in the control group underwent catheterization using standard procedures. Findings: The mean pain scores of patients in the experimental group were lower than those of the patients in the control group. Intragroup analysis demonstrated that the mean scores obtained from the state anxiety and trait anxiety inventories after the study were not significantly different from those obtained before the study. Conclusions: Vibration and cold gel pack application is suggested to relive pain during IV catheterization in adults.
