Purpose: The objective of the study was to determine COVID-19 fear and depression in pregnant women and new mothers. Methods: The study sample consisted of pregnant women and new mothers, who gave birth in the last 1 year, aged 18 years or older, living in a province in the Eastern Black Sea region (n = 259). Data werecollected through a personal-information form, COVID-19 Fear Scale, and PHQ-9. Results: Women's COVID-19 Fear Scalescore mean was 15.28±6.42 and their PHQ-9 mean score was 9.27±5.31. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the variables of PHQ-9 (p=0.000), educational background (p=0.029), occupational status (p=0.0015) and socioeconomic status (p=0.012) were statistically significant predictors of COVID-19 fear. All variables were found to explain the variance in COVID-19 Fear Scale scores to 16% (R2= 0.164). Conclusion: The women in this study appeared to have a moderate level of COVID-19 fear. PHQ-9, educational background, occupational status, and socioeconomic status were predictors of women's COVID-19 fear. The pandemic period, which is a public health emergency, affects not only the physical health but also the psychological health of pregnant and post-partum women, a particularly vulnerable group. It is very important for midwives and nurses to effectively screen pregnant and post-partum women, particularly vulnerable group, for symptoms of depression and fear, and to provide them with accurate and up-to-date information to protect and improve their health.

Background: The escalating prevalence of risky behaviors during adolescence has emerged as a grave threat to public health, posing one of the most significant psychological, social, and health-related challenges globally. These behaviors impact the individual and have negative consequences on families and society. As a pressing concern for communities, healthcare organizations, and social policymakers, identifying factors leading adolescents toward risky behaviors is paramount and urgent. Methods: This descriptive correlational study was conducted in Ardabil, Iran, in 2024. Using convenience sampling, 200 s-year high school girls with an average age of 17 were selected. Participants were asked to complete three questionnaires: the Dark Triad Personality Test, the Revised Family Communication Patterns Scale (RFCP), and the Questionnaire of Risky Behaviors (QRB). The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis, utilizing SPSS version 20. Results: The findings revealed a significant positive correlation (p < 0.01) between machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy, and the conformity interaction pattern with a tendency toward risky behaviors in adolescents. Additionally, there was a significant negative correlation (p < 0.01) between the conversation interaction pattern and risky behaviors. The results further indicated that 30.4% (p < 0.01) of the variance in risky behavior tendencies in adolescent girls could be explained by the Dark Triad personality traits. In comparison, the interaction patterns of conversation and parental conformity could account for 37% (p < 0.01). Conclusions: This study suggests that the Dark Triad personality traits and parental interaction patterns can effectively predict adolescent girls’ tendencies toward risky behaviors. These results underscore the need for effective management strategies addressing these variables in school programs to provide early interventions that may prevent the escalation of risky behaviors among adolescents.

Amaç: Bu çalışma transparan elektronik kalça maketiyle uygulanan eğitimin öğrencilerin intramüsküler enjeksiyon uygulama becerilerine ve kaygı düzeylerine etkisini belirlemek amacı ile yapıldı. Yöntem: Nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden tek gruplu ön test-son test deseninde tasarlanan bu çalışma yarı deneyseldir. Çalışma 01 Kasım - 01 Aralık 2023 tarihleri arasında bir devlet üniversitesinde öğrenim gören 53 hemşirelik öğrencisiyle gerçekleştirildi. Veriler Öğrenci Tanıtım Formu, İntramüsküler Enjeksiyon Uygulama Beceri Değerlendirme Formu ve Durumluk Kaygı Ölçeği ile toplandı. Tanımlayıcı istatistikler için sayı ve yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma, minimum, maksimum değerler kullanıldı. Verilerin analizi Wilcoxon işaretli - sıralar testi ve bağımlı gruplar t - testi ile yapıldı. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 19,05 ± 1,04 olup, %67,9’u kızdır. Öğrencilerin %90,6’sı yurtta yaşamakta olup, %69,8’inin gelirinin gidere denk olduğu, %71,7’sinin Anadolu lisesi mezunu olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin eğitim öncesinde ve sonrasında aldıkları puanlar karşılaştırıldığında, eğitim sonrası intramüsküler enjeksiyon uygulama becerisi puan ortalamalarının eğitim öncesinden istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu görüldü (p < 0,001). Öğrencilerin eğitim öncesi ve sonrası durumluk kaygı puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak bir farklılık saptanmadı (p > 0,05). Sonuç: Öğrencilerin durumluk kaygı düzeyleri orta düzeydedir. Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin klinik uygulama öncesinde tekrarlı intramüsküler enjeksiyon uygulamalarını simülasyon maketleri üzerinde yapmaları önerilmektedir.

Kırbaş, Zila Özlem; Bayraktar, Bülent; Aktaş, Elif Odabaşı
This study aimed to determine salivary cardiac troponin I and cortisol hormone levels in primary school students to evaluate the cardiac response depending on age and gender variables. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 180 children, including boys and girls aged 8, 9, and 10 years old. The ELISA technique determined cTnI and cortisol hormone levels in saliva samples taken from the children included in the study. There was a significant difference between the salivary cTnI levels and the age levels of the children in the groups (p<0.001). A significant difference was found between the mean level of salivary cortisol hormone and the gender and age variables of the child (p<0.001). As a result of the study, a positive, weak, and statistically significant correlation was found between salivary cTnI and cortisol hormone levels (p<0.05). In the model created for the dependent variable of saliva cTnI, it was found that 7.5% of the variance was explained by the independent variables (R2 adjusted=.075), and the age variable was a statistically significant positive predictor (p<0.001). In the model created for the dependent variable of cortisol hormone, it was found that 48.4% of the variance was explained by the independent variables (R2 adjusted=.484), and age and gender were positive statistically significant predictors (p<0.001). Within the scope of the data obtained in our current study, it was determined that cortisol hormone levels were also high in children with high salivary cardiac troponin I levels. It is thought that examining and monitoring cardiac troponin I and cortisol hormone levels may be useful parameters in the nursing care and practice of children with heart disease risk and disease.
