Bal, Betul; Kaba, Nagihan Koroğlu
Purpose: This study was conducted to reveal the effect of mindfulness practices on nursing students’ stress-coping behaviors and positive thinking skills. Method: This was a two-group parallel nonrandomized study. Mindfulness practices were applied to the students in the experimental group. Data were collected using research tools (Personal Information Form, Positive Thinking Skills Scale, and Stress Coping Behaviors Scale for Nursing Students) as pre- and posttests. Findings: After the intervention, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the posttest scores of positive thinking skills (t = 0.624; p = .541) and stress coping behaviors of staying optimistic (t = −0.957; p = .345), transfer (t = −2.028; p = .050), problem-solving (t = −0.663; p = .512), and avoidance (U = 132; p = .230). Conclusions: Mindfulness practices are ineffective in improving earthquake survivor nursing students’ coping behaviors and positive thinking skills.

Koroglu Kaba, Nagihan; Ozturk, Havva
PURPOSE: This study aimed to determine the effects of laughter yoga and mindfulness on nurses' fatigue, attention levels, and work performance. METHODS: This was a 3-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled study. Data were collected using the Information Form containing questions about nurses' demographic and professional characteristics, the Chalder Fatigue Scale, the Computerized Sustained Attention Test, and the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire. Nurses completed the tools preintervention, midtest, and postintervention. RESULTS: The study included 101 nurses. At the end of the eight-week interventions, fatigue levels among nurses in the laughter yoga and mindfulness groups were lower compared with the control group (F = 8.805, P < .001). In terms of attention levels, there was no overall difference between the groups; however, in the fourth week only, the hard-level attention scores of the laughter yoga group were higher than those of the control group (F = 5.431, P < .05). Additionally, job performance scores were higher in both intervention groups compared with the control group (F = 9.879, P < .01). Moreover, laughter yoga was more effective than the mindfulness practice in reducing nurses' fatigue and improving their attention levels (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS: Laughter yoga and mindfulness were effective in reducing nurses' fatigue and improving their attention levels and work performance.

Bulbuloglu, Semra; Gunes, Hüseyin
Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on the adherence of liver transplant recipients to immunosuppressive therapy with a randomized controlled design. Method: This randomized controlled trial was performed with 120 liver transplant recipients hospitalized at the liver transplant department of a research and practice hospital (n = 120). While we administered no intervention to the patients in the control group (n = 60), we provided Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy to those in the experimental group (n = 60). We used the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale and the Immunosuppressant Therapy Adherence Scale to collect data. We utilized descriptive statistics, paired-samples t-tests, independent-samples t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, and chi-squared tests to analyze the data. Results: After the intervention, the immunosuppressive therapy adherence levels of the experimental group increased significantly (p < 0.01). On the other hand, the control group had significantly higher adherence to immunosuppressive therapy and significantly higher levels of mindfulness in the pretest phase than it did in the posttest phase (p < 0.01). Conclusions: Complete adherence to immunosuppressive therapy is imperative for the prevention of graft rejection in liver transplant recipients. In our study, the experimental group equipped with enhanced mindfulness had higher adherence to immunosuppressive therapy. Therefore, the use of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy in the promotion of adherence to immunosuppressive therapy is recommended.

Güngör Doğanay
Bu araştırmada sporcularda zihinsel dayanıklılık ile bilinçli farkındalık arasındaki ilişkinin ortaya koyulması amaçlanmıştır. İlişkisel tarama modeliyle yürütülen araştırmaya yaşları 18 ile 32 arasında değişen 167'si kadın 247'si erkek toplam 414 sporcu katılmıştır. Araştırmada veriler "Kişisel Bilgi Formu", "Zihinsel Dayanıklılık Ölçeği" ve "Sporda Bilinçli Farkındalık Ölçeği" kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde betimsel istatistikler, bağımsız gruplar t-testi, Pearson korelasyon ve Regresyon analizleri kullanılmıştır. Zihinsel dayanıklılık açısından elde edilen bulgular değerlendirildiğinde; sporcuların zihinsel dayanıklılık düzeylerinin cinsiyet, lisanslı olarak spor yapma ve milli sporcu olma durumu değişkenlerine göre farklılık göstermediği; yaş ve spor yılları ile anlamlı ilişki içinde olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Buna karşılık zihinsel dayanıklılık düzeyinin spor branşı değişkenine göre farklılık gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Bulgular bilinçli farkındalık açısından değerlendirildiğinde; sporcuların bilinçli farkındalık düzeylerinin cinsiyet, lisanslı olarak spor yapma, milli sporcu olma durumu ve spor branşı değişkenlerine göre anlamlı farklılık göstermediği; yaş ve spor yılları ile anlamlı ilişki içinde olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Bunun yanında sporcuların zihinsel dayanıklılık düzeyleri ile bilinçli farkındalık düzeyleri arasında anlamlı ilişkinin olduğu ve bilinçli farkındalığın zihinsel dayanıklılığı yordadığı tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak; sporcularda zihinsel dayanıklılığın artmasında bilinçli farkındalığın rolünün olduğu ortaya konulmuştur.
