(Journal of Inonu University Health Services Vocational School, 2021) Yıldız, Ayşegül; Gemici Metin, Zeynep Elif; Güzel Gör, Kansu
The purpose of this study is to determine the attitudes of vocational school students who go to hospital application on occupational health and safety. This descriptive study has been performed with 249 students in the Vocational School of a Cappadocia University between 24 September and 30 October 2019. "Question Form" created by the researchers through literature review have been used in the collection of data. Data has been analyzed using descriptive statistics, number, percentage, median, min, max, mean and standard deviation. The mean age of the participants is 20.22 ±21.45 years and 68.5 % (n=168) of them are female. 68.2% (n=167) of the students defined the work accident as "the accident occurred while the insured was at work". 37.8% (n = 91) of the students went to the occupational health and safety unit of the hospital when they had an occupational accident, 24.1% (n = 58) to the head of the unit they worked in the hospital, 20.3% (n = 49) 14.5% (n = 35) of the infection control nurse stated that they reported the internship to the responsible teacher. Although students receive education, they are exposed to occupational accidents and apply to different units when a work accident occurs. The students' knowledge on the definition and scope of occupational accidents is insufficient. Students should be informed more effectively by health institutions about occupational health, risks and unit orientation, and should be supported in the use of personal protective equipment.

(Int. J. of Health Serv. Res. and Policy, 2020) Şahan, Seda; Yıldız, Ayşegül
Abstract: High rates of presenteeism among the nurses decreases their performances, increases the patient safety risks, and causes negative results in healthcare institutions. Presenteeism is affected by individual and organizational factors. The study was carried out to determine the presenteeism situation of nurses and their relationship with perceived organizational support. The research was carried out at a hospital in Kayseri/Turkey. The hospital has 372 nurses work there. Research population and sample the population of the research consisted of all the nurses working in the hospital (N=372). Thus, the research was conducted on 330 nurses. The research was carried out between September 2019 and November 2019. In the study, the data were collected by using the information form which was prepared by the researcher, the presenteeism scale, and the perceived organizational support scale. The total mean score of the participants’ presenteeism is 23.64 ± 2.56. The lowest possible score which was obtained from the scale is 11 and the highest is 28. When the average of the perceived organizational support scale is examined; the average of the score was medium and the average score was 122.76 ± 8.53. It was determined that there was a significant relationship between the absence of attentiondistraction, which is the sub-dimension of presenteeism scale, and the total score of perceived organizational support (p<0.05), there was no significant relationship with completion task and presenteeism total scale scores (p>0.05). The high rate of presenteeism in nurses, decrease in work efficiency and job satisfaction, causes absenteeism. These studies suggest that measures should be taken by institutions to prevent and avoid negative situations that are caused by presenteeism. Keywords: Nursing, Preseenteism, Perceived organizational support.

Periton diyalizi, son dönem böbrek yetmezliği olan çocukların, böbrek fonksiyonlarını sürdürebilmeleri amacıyla dünya çapında kullanımı giderek artan ve hastaların tedavisinde olumlu sonuçlar alınmasını sağlayan bir yöntemdir. Periton diyalizi işlemi aile ve çocuk için konforlu ve yaşam aktivitelerini ciddi ölçüde etkilemeyen bir tedavi yöntemidir. Buna rağmen periton diyalizi işlemindeki temel kurallara uyulmadığı takdirde ise ciddi sorunlar meydana gelebilmektedir. Periton diyalizi işleminde peritonit, kateter giriş-çıkış yeri enfeksiyonu, kateter tünel enfeksiyonu, karın ağrısı, kateterin tıkanması, protein yetersizliği, diyaliz sıvısıyla birlikte kan gelmesi gibi komplikasyonlar meydana gelebilmektedir. Bu komplikasyonlar değerlendirildiğinde ise en önemli komplikasyon olarak enfeksiyonlar karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada periton diyalizi tedavisi alan çocuk hastalarda sık görülen enfeksiyonları önlemek amacıyla alınabilecek önlemlerin tanımlanması amaçlanmıştır.

Hemodiyaliz Hastalarında Yeterli Diyaliz En Doğru Nasıl Değerlendirilir?
(Nefroloji Hemşireliği Dergisi, 2019) Yıldız, Ayşegül; Çağlar, Mefaret
Kronik böbrek yetmezliği, bireylerde glomerüler filtrasyon hızının azalması sonucunda, böbreğin sıvı-solüt dengesini ayarlama mekanizması ve aynı zamanda metabolik-endokrin fonksiyonlarının kronik ve ilerleyici bir şekilde bozulması olarak tanımlanmaktadır (1). Son dönem böbrek yetmezliği ise endojen renal fonksiyonların geriye dönüşsüz kaybı ile karakterize yaşamı tehdit eden üremiden korunmak için hastaya sürekli renal replasman tedavilerinin uygulandığı klinik bir tablodur (2). Son dönem böbrek yetmezliği tanısı, her yaş grubunda görülebilen, tanı koyulması sonrasında ise bireylerin yaşam kalitelerini önemli derecede etkileyen bir hastalıktır (3). Son dönem böbrek yetmezliği tanısı alan hastalar için uygulanan hemodiyaliz tedavisi hastaların yaşamında önemli değişiklikler yapmasını zorunlu hale getirmektedir. Bireyler aldıkları tedavi ve bakım ile sağlık kuruluşuna, hemodiyaliz makinesine ve sağlık personeline bağımlı hale gelmektedir. Haftanın belirli gün ve saatlerinde sağlık kurumuna gitme zorunluluğu aile, iş ve sosyal hayatında aksaklıklar yaşanmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu aksaklıklar hastanın yaşam kalitesini olumsuz etkilemektedir(4). Günümüzde son dönem böbrek yetmezliği tedavisinde amaç sadece kandaki metabolik atıkların uzaklaştırılması değil bu tedavinin daha kaliteli hale getirilmesi yani yeterli diyaliz yapmak, hastaların yaşam kalitesini yükseltmek haline gelmiştir(5). Son dönem böbrek yetmezliği ve hemodiyalize eşlik eden morbidite ve mortalite oranlarının azaltılabilmesi, hastanın fiziksel, ruhsal ve biyokimyasal anlamda tam bir iyilik halinin sağlanması ve bunun sonucunda yaşam kalitesinin arttırılması ile mümkün olabilecektir(5,6).
