    (Gulhane Military Medical Academy, 2011) Yildirim G.; Kadioǧlu S.; Alan S.; Altiparmak S.
    AIM: The objective is to determine which of the two texts giving information about the same issue and one of which id short and one of which is long is more effective in enlightening readers having no pre-knowledge of medical science and whether there is coherence between the scores obtained from the texts. METHOD: The sampling of the research planned as experimental is constituted by 66 volunteer female students who are 1st year students at the faculty of agriculture. The group was randomly divided into two and the first group was given the short text and the other one the long text. Then the question from was applied in order to find out how much of the information in the form they learnt. Each true answer given to the questions was scored as 1, and each wrong answer was secored as 0; therefore a total grade was obtained. For data analysis, Mann Whitney-U and t Tests analysis methods have been used. Score averages have been compared using Chi-square statistics and calculated using Odds ratio (OR). Consistency between the average scores of the answers given to short and long forms were evaluated through kapa statistics. RESULTS: 100% of the answers obtained using the long form was above the average, 20% of the answers obtained using the short form was above the average and 80% was below the average. Kappa between the answers in the long and short from was found as 81%. The results obtained from the long form were determined to be seven times better than the short one (OR:7,0). The non-random alignment between responses to the long and short form was found to be 81% (Cohen Kappa: 0,814). When the score average scores obtained from the answers given according to the demographic qualities of the participants, no meaningful relation was found. CONCLUSION: The long version of the context of informed was found more effective than the short one.

    Purpose: To determine the effects of information given before cesarean section on women's anxiety levels and their knowledge about informed consent regarding it. Materials and Methods: Sixty women who elected to undergo cesarean section were included in the study. The data were collected using the pregnancy-related clinical information form, informed consent form, cesarean information form, and State and Trait Anxiety Inventory. Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test and Pearson correlation were used as statistical methods. Results: The women's knowledge scores before and after they were informed about cesarean section were 14.8 ± 5.5 and 29.8 ± 2.6, respectively (p < 0.05). Their state anxiety scores before and after they were informed about cesarean section were 28.4 ± 6.6 and 28.0 ± 5.9, respectively (p > 0.05). Conclusion: It was determined that the participants' pre-training knowledge scores about cesarean section increased significantly after they were informed, and that their state and trait anxiety scores decreased very little after they were informed.

    (Turkish Society of Algology, 2015) Yildirim G.; Ertekin Pinar Ş.; Düger C.; Altiparmak S.; Gürsoy S.; Mimaroǧlu C.
    Objectives: The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of perceived pain on quality of sleep and life in patients hospitalized in a pain clinic. Methods: Population of the present descriptive study composed of patients (>18 years old) treated as inpatients in the algology clinic of a university located at the city center of Sivas, who consented to participate in the study (122 patients). Data were collected through Personal Information Form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Short Form 36. Data were analyzed using independent t-test, Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis test and Pearson correlation test. Statistical significance level was set at p<0.05. Results: A moderate negative correlation was found between VAS and three dimensions of SF-36, namely Physical Functioning, Role-Physical and Role-Emotional. VA S was weakly and negatively correlated to Vitality and Mental Health. There was a good linear correlation between VA S and quality of life (QoL), pain score while there was a moderate linear correlation between VAS and the total sleep score. It was found that quality of life was not statistically significantly correlated to General Health and Social Functioning. Conclusion: There is a relationship between pain, sleep quality and quality of life. Quality of sleep and life was found to decrease as the level of pain increased, and quality of life was affected negatively when the quality of sleep was poor. Applications towards resolving pain would have a positive effect on the quality of sleep and life.

Results: The mean age of study participants was 45.6 ± 16.1 (20-85). years. Spearman correlation coefficient of the scale for testretest reliability was 0.853 and the Cronbach Alpha coefficient was 0.95. According to fit indexes of confirmatory factor analysis [x2/ SD= 481.38/230= 2.09; RMSEA= 0.087; GFI= 0.776; CFI= 0.776; NNFI= 0.875] it was found that one factors were appropriate for the scale.
