Akeren, Zahide
Purpose: The current study aimed compare short and long-term metformin users according to sociodemographic characteristics and to examine the relationships between fatigue, tachycardia and psychological well-being. Materials and Methods: In cross-sectional study were reached 92 patients, 46 short-term and 46 long-term metformin users. It was measured fatigue with the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Treatment Fatigue Scale (FACIT-F), tachycardia with saturation device, well-being with the World Health Organization Well-Being Index (WHO-5). Results: For the group using short-term metformin, the mean; year of metformin use was 1.82 +/- 0.77 and pulse rate was 82.48 +/- 8.80, FACIT-F score was 20.37 +/- 7.25, and WHO-5 score was 15.70 +/- 3.23. The group using long-term metformin mean year of metformin use was 5.93 +/- 2.68, pulse rate was 84.57 +/- 9.64, FACIT-F score was 25.33 +/- 5.65 and WHO-5 score was 12.63 +/- 3.70. Well-being negatively correlated with the year of diabetes, year of metformin use, pulse rate and fatigue. FACIT-F, metformin year and pulse rate explain a total of 41.9% of the variance in well-being. FACIT-F ((3=-.51, t=-5.82, p= .000) and the year of metformin use ((3=-.19, t=-2.12, p= .037) significantly decrease well-being, while pulse rate does not have a significant effect on well-being. Conclusions: Long-term use of metformin has been found cause fatigue and negative psychological well-being. Fatigue, year of metformin use and pulse rate number are important predictors of psychological well-being in Type II diabetes patients using metformin.

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.
