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.

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.

Kırbaş, Zila Özlem
Aim: This study investigated the relationship between children's hospital perceptions, their fear of medical procedures, and the role of emotional intelligence as a potential mediator. Material and Method: The population of the research consists of 4th grade students (10-year-old students) studying in primary schools in the 2023-2024 academic year. The study included 343 students and employed a relational-cross-sectional-descriptive design. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Medical Procedure Fear Scale, Hospital Perception Scale for Healthy Children, and Ten-Year-Old Emotional Intelligence Scale. Data were analyzed with IBM SPSS V23 and IBM AMOS V24. Compliance with normal distribution was examined with the assumption of skewness, kurtosis, and multiple normality. Path analysis was used to test the mediator model, and Maximum Likelihood (ML) was used as the calculation method. Analysis results were presented as frequency (percentage) for categorical variables, mean±standard deviation, and median (minimum–maximum) for quantitative variables. The significance level was taken as p<0.05. Results: The study found that children's hospital perceptions predicted their fear of medical procedures. Specifically, there was a statistically significant positive relationship between hospital perception and fear of medical procedures (β=0.565; p<0.05). According to the mediated structural model analysis results, hospital perception had a statistically significant negative effect on the mediator variable emotional intelligence (β=-0.327; p<0.05). By including the mediator variable emotional intelligence in the model, the path coefficient between hospital perception and fear of medical procedures was statistically significant (β=0.554; p<0.05). Conclusion: In the study, it was found that emotional intelligence, the mediator variable, played a role in the relationship between hospital perception and fear of medical procedures.

This study aimed to investigate the association between perceptions of family-to-family support and the general well-being and psychological resilience of mothers raising children with special needs. Employing a descriptive correlational research design, the study included mothers of children aged 0-18 residing in a city center in northeastern Türkiye. Data collection was conducted through face-to-face interviews using the Personal Information Form, Brief Psychological Resilience Scale, General Well-Being Scale Short Form, and Family-to-Family Support Perception Scale for Families of Disabled Children. The results revealed a positive and significant relationship between mothers' perceived level of family-to-family support and their psychological resilience (β=0.437, p<0.01). Furthermore, a positive relationship was observed between mothers' general well-being levels and perceived support (β=0.315, p<0.05). However, no significant relationship was found between general well-being levels and psychological resilience (β=0.189, p>0.05). These findings underscore the significant connections between perceived family-to-family support, general well-being, and psychological resilience among mothers of children with special needs. They suggest a critical need for developing enhanced social and psychological support mechanisms to alleviate the stress and difficulties experienced by these mothers.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the nutrition of school-age children and the influence of their parents. Method: The study involved 259 school-age children aged 9-12 and their volunteering parents from a province in Türkiye. A questionnaire was administered to the children questioning sociodemographic data and basic nutritional information, anthropometric measurements were taken, and the Parent Mealtime Action Scale was applied to their parents. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS 26 program. Results: It was found that the snack consumption status of children was related to the income status of the family's daily fruit and vegetable consumption (p<0.01). It has been found that animal fat restricted diet is associated with growth status in children (p<0.01). It has been determined that the children's eating situation is related to the persistent behavior of parents (p<0.05). It has been found that children who do not consume chips at all are also fed restricted animal fats in their daily diet. It was determined that bagel/cereal consumption was also excessive in children in whom rewarding was applied excessively (p<0.05). Conclusion: As a result, it was determined that school-age children's own preferences in food choices, as well as the parent's behavior and educational status, and the family's income level also have a significant impact. It is thought that it will be beneficial to provide nutrition education to parents and children in order to develop the right eating habits in school-age children and to increase the level of nutrition knowledge.

Kırbaş, Zila Özlem; Bayraktar, Bülent; Odabaşı Aktaş, Elif
Purpose: Little is known about the relationship between apelin and serotonin in emotion regulation. This study aimed to examine children’s emotional regulation skills and salivary apelin and serotonin levels. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study performed in Türkiye. The research was completed with the participation of 146 children, 8–10 years old, from the general population. Emotion Regulation Skills Scale for Children (CERS) was used to assess children’s levels of emotion regulation skills. Apelin and serotonin levels were examined by ELISA technique in saliva samples obtained from children. Results: A statistically significant correlation was found between the mean total score of the CERS and the mean apelin and serotonin levels (p ˂.01). We found that females had higher emotion regulation skills compared to males, older higher than younger ones (p ˂.01). The regression analysis results show that age and gender together explain 50.5% of the variance in CERS scores, while apelin and serotonin together explain 35.8% of the variance. When all four variables (age, gender, apelin, and serotonin) are included in the model, they explain 51.3% of the variance in CERS scores. Conclusion: Older age and female gender explained most of emotion regulations skills.Key points It was determined that the average salivary apelin and serotonin levels increased with increased age, and with increased age ERS also increased. More research is needed as this is the first time that the relationship between emotion regulation skills and serotonin and apelin levels has been examined.
