Item Dysmenorrhea Characteristics of Female Students of Health School and Affecting Factors and Their Knowledge and Use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine MethodsMidilli, TS; Yasar, E; Baysal, EThe purpose of this study was to examine the menstruation and dysmenorrhea characteristics and the factors affecting dysmenorrhea of health school students, and the knowledge and use of the methods of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) on the part of those students with dysmenorrhea. This is a descriptive study. A descriptive analysis was made by calculating the number, percentage, mean, Pearson chi(2), and logistic regression analysis. A total of 488 female students participated in the research and 87.7% (n = 428) of all students experienced dysmenorrhea. It was detected that a family history of dysmenorrhea and regular menstrual cycles of the students were dysmenorrhea-affecting factors (P < .05). Seven of 10 students with dysmenorrhea used CAM methods. Heat application of CAM methods for dysmenorrhea management was the most commonly used and also known by the students. The students who experienced severe pain used analgesics (P < .05) and CAM methods (P < .05).Item No Association between the Methyleletetrahydrofolate Reductase A1298C Variants and Atrial Fibrillation with Ischemic Stroke in Turkish PopulationIçli, A; Erten, N; Arslan, A; Yücel, H; Akçay, S; Yasar, E; Uysal, BA; Bas, HA; Aksoy, F; Sütçü, RItem Prothrombin Gene Mutation (G20210A) is Not Associated with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation with Ischemic Stroke in Turkish PopulationIçli, A; Erten, N; Akçay, S; Sütçü, R; Arslan, A; Yasar, EItem Evaluation of the Apolipoprotein B R3500Q Gene Mutation in Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation with Ischemic Stroke in Turkish PopulationIcli, A; Erten, N; Sütcü, R; Akcay, S; Yasar, E; Yücel, H; Aksoy, F; Arslan, AItem Investigation of Turkish nurses frequency and knowledge of administration of intramuscular injections to the ventrogluteal site: Results from questionnairesSari, D; Sahin, M; Yasar, E; Taskiran, N; Telli, SBackground: Intramuscular injection is important in the administration of parenteral medication and is a frequently-performed nursing responsibility. Objective: The objective of this study was to identify the frequency of use of the ventrogluteal site and the level of nurses' knowledge of administering an intramuscular injection to this site. Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted of nurses working in four hospitals (n = 362). Data collection tools included a 12 item sociodemographic questionnaire and a 24 item questionnaire on knowledge of the ventrogluteal site for intramuscular injection. Findings: 17.1% of participants reported using the VG site frequently in intramuscular injections. On the other hand, 35.9% reported that they do not use the VG site in intramuscular injections just because they are not used to giving injections on this site. Level of knowledge of ventrogluteal site was also limited with the mean score of correct answers from 24 questions being 14.37. Conclusion: It was found in the study that nurses' knowledge of the ventrogluteal site was limited, and they are not preferentially using the ventrogluteal site for intramuscular injections to adults even though it is recommended in recent nursing literature.
