    OBJECTIVES This study aimed to examine the level of knowledge and practices of nurses responsible for the execution and management of cancer treatment in patients receiving biotherapy as related to the use of biological agents. METHODS This descriptive study was conducted with 40 nurses in oncology and hematology units of a university Medical Faculty hospital in which biological agents are frequently applied. RESULTS The majority of nurses (57.5%) were aged 23-27 years. It was determined that 35.5% of nurses obtained a patient history and 82.5% queried the allergic history of patients before biotherapy. According to the nurses' responses, 79.5% monitored the patients in terms of development of local complications, 85% informed the patients about complications, and 77.5% informed them about delayed infusion reactions. CONCLUSION Although the majority of nurses had not received a specific education about biotherapy, they were knowledgeable as related to the storage, preparation and administration of biological agents.

    This study was conducted as a definition in order to determine the effects of university students' cigarrette smoking habits on their quality of life. Samples were selected among students of Celal Bayar University Medicine Faculty, Science- Literature Faculty, Economy and Business Administration Faculty, Engineering Faculty and Gym Sports and Health Highschools and Health Services Career Highschool (N=5963). In determination of number of sample students for this study, the Certain Universe Sampling Selection Method was used (n=278). The number of students to be elected from various classes was however determined by the Categorial Sampling Method. Study data were gathered between the dates of 7th of February and 10th of March 2005. In this study, Social-Demographic Information Form and WHOQOL-BREF Quality of life Scale were used as data gathering means. In statistical evaluation, number-percentage dispersions, average and standard deviation values and t-test were used. Average students' age of starting to smoke was 17.03 +/- 2.23. It was established that there is a significant connection between university students' starting smoking age and quality of life psychology field (p<0.05). There is a meaningful relation among fields of quality of life such as physics, psychology and social fields and student smoking habits (p=0.00 <0.05). It is determined that among these students who smoke half a packet of cigarettes have a significant, meaningful relation between their quality of life and physics field (p<0.05). The results obtained show that students' smoking situations affect their quality of life.
