The purpose of this study was to determine sexuality assessment knowledge, attitude, and skill of student nurses before and after sexuality training.

This study was conducted experimentally in a model with a pretest to posttest control group.

In the measurements made after training, it was observed that mean scores of Sexuality Assessment Information Test, Sexual Attitude and Beliefs Scale, and Sexuality Assessment Skills Check List in the experimental group were significantly higher than mean scores of students in the control group (p < .05).

It was determined that sexuality assessment skills training has a positive effect on the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of nursing students.

Sexuality assessment skills training can provide nurses with a guide for discussing the topic of sexual health with their patients.

To determine the frequency of the Nursing Intervention Classification Dying Care activities performed by nurses with end-of-life (EOL) patients.

A cross-sectional, descriptive study using a structured questionnaire to determine the frequencies of Dying Care activities performed by 201 Czech nurses.

Nurses reported more frequent use of activities focused on the physical comfort of EOL patients. Significant relationships were found between frequencies in some activities and the nurses’ education level, length of work experience, and the department type.

Nurses reported infrequent use of communication activities with patients and relatives, which is related to the length of practice.

It is necessary to focus on communication and psychosocial needs of EOL patients in both pregradual and lifelong nursing education.

Zjistit frekvenci aktivit NIC intervence Péče o umírající mezi českými sestry u pacientů v závěru života.

Průřezová deskriptivní studie využívající strukturovaného dotazníku pro určení frekvence aktivit Péče o umírající prováděné 201 sestrou.

Sestry u pacientů v závěru života častější využívají aktivity zaměřené na fyzický komfort. Významné vztahy byly nalezeny mezi frekvencí některých aktivit a úrovní vzdělání sester, délkou praxe a typem pracoviště.

Sestry uváděly nepříliš časté používání komunikačních aktivit s pacienty a příbuznými, což souvisí s délkou jejich praxe.

Je třeba se zaměřit na komunikaci a psychosociální potřeby pacientů v závěru života jak v pregraduálním tak celoživotním vzdělávání sester.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of nursing care based on comfort theory on women's postpartum comfort levels after C-sections.

A quasi-experimental design was used. The sample comprised 100 women who had C-sections (50 experimental, 50 control).

A total of 27 nursing diagnoses were determined. The physical (p = .000), psychospiritual (p = .249), and sociocultural (p = .001) subdimension mean scores on the Postpartum Comfort Scale were higher in the experimental group than they were in the control group. The mean total scores on the Postpartum Comfort Scale were 138.70 ± 8.79 in the experimental group and 131.06 ± 9.30 in the control group (p = .000).

Nursing care based on comfort theory for women having C-sections met their comfort needs and increased their postpartum comfort levels.

It is recommended that nursing care outcomes be compared using different nursing models.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, sezaryen ile doğum yapan loğusalara konfor kuramına göre verilen hemşirelik bakımının doğum sonu konfor düzeyine etkisini belirlemektir.

Yarı deneysel çalışma modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini sezaryen ile doğum yapan 100 loğusa (50 deney, 50 kontrol) oluşturmuştur.

Toplamda 27 hemşirelik tanısı saptanmıştır. Deney grubunda yer alan loğusaların Doğum Sonu Konfor Ölçeği fiziksel (p = .000), psikospritüel (p = .249) ve sosyokültürel (p = .001) alt boyut puan ortalamalarının kontrol grubuna oranla daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Doğum Sonu Konfor Ölçeği toplam puan ortalamasının deney grubunda 138.70 ± 8.79, kontrol grubunda 131.06 ± 9.30 olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p = .000).

Sezaryen ile doğum yapan loğusalara konfor kuramı doğrultusunda verilen hemşirelik bakımının konfor gereksinimlerini karşılayarak doğum sonu konfor düzeyini yükselttiği belirlenmiştir.

Farklı hemşirelik modelleri kullanılarak bakım sonuçlarının karşılaştırılması önerilmektedir.

To evaluate the psychometric properties of the D-Catch instrument.

A cross-sectional methodological study. Validity and reliability were estimated with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and internal consistency and inter-rater reliability, respectively.

A sample of 250 nursing documentations was selected. CFA showed the adequacy of a 1-factor model (chronologically descriptive accuracy) with an outlier item (nursing diagnosis accuracy). Internal consistency and inter-rater reliability were adequate.

The D-Catch is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring the accuracy of nursing documentation. Caution is needed when measuring diagnostic accuracy since only one item measures this dimension.

The D-Catch can be used as an indicator of the accuracy of nursing documentation and the quality of nursing care.

This article describes the concept of self-care from Islamic texts.

Rodgers' evolutionary model of concept analysis was used in this study.

Self-care is a series of responsible activities to God for health promotion, preventive disease and remedy. It encompasses physical, mental, spiritual, and social dimensions.

A comprehensive definition of the concept of self-care ensued from a review of Islamic literature.

Since the nurses instruct and assist individuals as they engage in self-care, using a comprehensive definition of self-care based on Islamic sources would provide an anchor linking for them as they interact with Muslim patients.
