  KAHRIMAN, Ilknur; AKSOY, Bahar; KANDAZ, Ufuk; BORAN, Serpil; GÖGER, Berrin; KIRBAŞ, Zila Özlem

  Objectives This study investigated the effect of the puppet-assisted House-Tree-Person Test (HTP-T) on fear and anxiety levels in children undergoing chemotherapy treatment and the factors influencing these outcomes. Methods The study employed a one-group pretest–posttest quasi-experimental design combined with HTP-T analysis. The study was conducted with 29 children aged 5–12 years receiving chemotherapy at the pediatric hematology-oncology outpatient clinics of a university hospital in the Eastern Black Sea Region of Türkiye during the 2022–2024 years. Data were collected using “the Demographic Information Form for Children and Parents, the Children's State Anxiety Scale (CSA), the Children's Fear Scale (CFS), and HTP-T". Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, repeated measures ANOVA, and HTP-T analysis. Results Statistically significant differences were observed in children's mean CSA (F = 3.898, p = 0.026, η2 = 0.122) and CFS (F = 5.313, p = 0.008, η2 = 0.159) scores across the pre-treatment, during-treatment, and post-treatment measurements. The HTP-T analysis revealed that children had difficulty regulating anxiety and fear, expressed concerns about family and environmental events, reported feelings of loneliness, and exhibited strong emotional attachment to their families. Conclusion The study demonstrated that incorporating puppet-assisted HTP-T during chemotherapy contributed to reducing children's fear and anxiety and offered a useful approach for identifying influencing factors. Implications for nursing practice HTP-T, a therapeutic play technique incorporating puppetry and projective methods, may be effective in reducing fear and anxiety among children undergoing chemotherapy.

  Kırbaş, Zila Özlem; Sönmez Sarı, Ebru; Aktaş, Elif Odabaşı; Işık, Hafsa Kübra

  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; Odabaşi Aktaş, Elif

  Background: Hormones are molecules that contribute significantly to mental and physical health due to their role in emotion regulation (ER) processes. However, the role and effect of hormones on the ER has not yet been fully elucidated. In this study, it was aimed to examine the salivary Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and cortisol hormone response to support ERS in primary school students depending on some parameters. Method: This cross-sectional and correlational study was conducted in the Eastern Black Sea Region of Türkiye between April 2023 and June 2023. In the sample selection, after the number of students was determined in proportional stratification, the sample selection method was made by simple random selection from each class list, first according to the school and then the grade level of each school. A total of 177 healthy students between the ages of 8 and 10 who attended these schools, were allowed to participate in the research by their families, and were volunteers, were included in the study. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form and the Emotion Regulation Scale for Children and saliva collection cups. Human-specific Brain-derived neurotrophic factor ELISA Kit (BT LAB, Cat.No E1302Hu, CHINA) for measuring BDNF levels in saliva; In measuring the level of cortisol hormone in saliva, Human Cortisol ELISA Kit (BT LAB, Cat.No E 1 003Hu, CHINA) was used in accordance with the procedure specified in the manufacturer’s catalogue. Data were evaluated using the SPSS 26.0 for Windows (SPSS, Chicago, Il, USA) package program. Independent Samples Test and One-Way ANOVA test, correlation and Multiple Linear Regression analysis were used to evaluate the data. P <.01 and p <.05 significance levels were used as statistical significance values. Results: A statistically significant correlation was found between the mean total score of the Emotion Regulation Skills Scale for Children and the mean level of salivary BDNF, and a negative correlation between the mean level of salivary cortisol (p˂0.01). Conclusions: Within the scope of the data obtained in our current study, BDNF levels were found to be high and cortisol hormone levels to be low in children with high ERS.

  Investigation of the relationship of cardiac troponin I and cortisol hormone levels with some variables in children: Relational screening model

  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.

  Mediating Role of Emotional Intelligence in the Relationship between Hospital Perception and Fear of Medical Procedures in Children

  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.

  Relationship between perceptions of family-to-family support, general well-being, and psychological resilience of mothers with children with special needs

  Kırbaş, Zila Özlem; Şahin, Emel

  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.

  Effects of Procedural Information, Buzzy, and Multiple Interventions on Pain in Children Undergoing Venipuncture: A Randomized Controlled Trial

  Kahriman, Ilknur; Meral, Buket; Colak, Bahar; Bektas, Meral; Kirbas, Zila Özlem; Arici, Yeliz Kasko

  Background Needle-related procedures are commonly performed in childhood and lead to considerable pain. Purpose This randomized controlled study was conducted to compare the effects on venipuncture pain of the Buzzy, an informational animated video, multiple interventions, and standard care in children aged 6-12 years. Methods One hundred eighty children were assigned to the groups using a computerized randomization program. Pain level was evaluated by the children, parents, and their nurses using the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale. The level of agreement among the nurse, parents, and children's pain reports was evaluated. Multivariable regression analysis was performed to identify the factors significantly associated with pain score. Results The participants in the Buzzy, video watching, and multiple intervention groups reported lower mean pain scores (child: KW = 28.24, p <.001; parent: KW = 18.51, p <.001; nurse: KW = 44.4, p <.001) than their peers in the control group. Moreover, age was identified as a risk factor affecting pain level (OR = 1.375, 95% CI [1.086, 1.740]; p =.008). Conclusions Buzzy and informational videos are potentially effective methods to facilitate venipuncture-related pain management in children. The use of pain management methods during venipuncture is recommended, especially in children younger than 10 years old.
