    (Elsevier, 2025) Aktura, Seher Cevik; Saritas, Seyhan Citlik
    Objective: This study aims to examine the effects of virtual reality and ice application on pain and anxiety levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Methods: This study was conducted as a randomized controlled clinical trial. The sample of the study consisted of 159 patients with Type 2 Diabetes in two experimental (virtual reality and ice group) and one control group (53 patients in each group). Participant Introduction Form, State Anxiety Scale and Visual Analogue Scale were used to collect the data. Results: The findings of this study showed that the patients in the virtual reality and ice group had significantly lower post-application pain levels, compared to the control group (p < 0.001). Also, the anxiety levels of the virtual reality group participants were found significantly lower than the ice and control group (p < 0.001). Conclusions: As a result of the study, it was found that the use of virtual reality reduced anxiety and pain levels, while the use of ice reduced pain levels.

Method: The descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted on 986 nursing students from the nursing faculty of a state university in eastern T & uuml;rkiye. Data were collected using a sociodemographic information form, the Epilepsy Knowledge Scale, and the Epilepsy Attitudes Scale. internal consistency coefficient were used for data analysis. Results: The average age of participants was 21.18 +/- 1.79 years, with 67.2% being female, 27.5% 4th-year students, and 89.5% did not have a family member with epilepsy. The mean scores for the Epilepsy Knowledge Scale and the Epilepsy Attitudes Scale were 9.65 +/- 4.04 and 57.16 +/- 7.85, respectively. Gender, academic year, source of information, personal experience witnessing an epileptic seizure, providing care to an epilepsy patient, and the location of witnessing a seizure were significant predictors of epilepsy-related knowledge. Gender and knowledge about epilepsy were significant predictors of attitudes towards epilepsy. Conclusion: The study revealed that nursing students had moderate levels of knowledge about epilepsy and positive attitudes towards the condition.

    Fear of Death and Sleep Quality in the Aftermath of an Earthquake
    (Slack Inc, 2025) Aktura, Seher Cevik; Celik, Hanife; Saritas, Seyhan Citlik; Ozden, Gurkan
    PURPOSE: To examine fear of death and disruption in sleep patterns in individuals who have experienced an earthquake. METHOD: A descriptive and relationship-oriented study was performed with 322 individuals who experienced the February 6, 2023, earthquake in Turkey. Data were collected between February 20 and May 15, 2023. A personal information form, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Death Anxiety Scale (DAS) were used for data collection. RESULTS: Participants'mean DAS score was 7.96 (SD = 1.05), and mean PSQI score was 8.74 (SD = 4.06). Statistically significant relationships were found between sex, marital status, and mean DAS score, and these variables accounted for 11.7% of the total variance. Similarly, statistically significant relationships were found among economic status, relationship to person trapped under the rubble, financial loss from the earthquake, and mean PSQI score, accounting for 11.3% of the total variance. Women and married people had greater fear of death, and those with good economic status, whose family members were buried under rubble, and who experienced financial loss as a result of the earthquake had lower sleep quality. CONCLUSION:The earthquake led to moderate fear of death and poor sleep quality among participants. Findings highlight the need for targeted support for vulnerable groups following disasters.

    (Sage Publications Inc, 2025) Aktura, Seher Cevik; Saritas, Seyhan Citlik; Karakas, Nese
    This research aims to examine the perception of the good death and religious coping styles of student nurses. The research is a correlational descriptive study. The research was conducted with 358 nursing students at a state university in the east of Turkey. It was found in the study that students had a good perception of death (58.83 +/- 6.12) and mostly used positive religious coping styles (positive/24.55 +/- 3.71, negative/13.31 +/- 4.21). As a result of the correlation analysis, a weakly significant positive relationship was determined between good death perception and positive religious coping (p < .001).This study observed that students' perceptions of good death increased along with their positive religious coping styles.

    The effect of nurses' attitudes towards evidence-based nursing on the level of compliance with isolation measures in nurses caring for liver transplant patients
    (Wiley, 2025) Gurkan, Kapikiran; Okutan, Serafettin; Aktura, Seher Cevik; Cici, Remziye
    ObjectiveLiver transplant recipients are at a high risk of infection during the first month. Therefore, it is crucial to implement isolation measures correctly to prevent the spread of nosocomial infections. Evidence-based practices and proper implementation of isolation measures can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality. The study aimed to investigate the impact of nurses' attitudes towards evidence-based nursing on their compliance with isolation measures.MethodsThis is a descriptive study conducted between October 2023 and January 2024, with the participation of 137 nurses working in the organ transplant clinics of a university hospital in Turkey. Data was collected using a participant introduction form, the attitudes towards evidence-based nursing scale, and the compliance with isolation measures scale.ResultsThe mean total score for the scale of attitudes towards evidence-based nursing among nurses was 55.95 +/- 10.43 (15-75). Similarly, the mean total score for the scale of compliance with isolation measures was 71.44 +/- 13.53 (18-90). Both scores were above the middle level. The study found a moderately significant positive correlation between attitudes towards evidence-based nursing and compliance with isolation measures (r: 0.670, p: 0.000). The regression model showed that the attitude towards evidence-based nursing explained 44.9% of the positivity towards isolation measures (R2 = 0.449).ConclusionsThe study found a positive correlation between nurses' positive attitudes towards evidence-based nursing and their compliance with isolation precautions when caring for liver transplant patients. This highlights the significance of evidence-based nursing in patient care and the importance of adhering to isolation measures to prevent nosocomial infections.
