Öğe Features of Pressure Ulcers in Hospitalized Older Adults(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2014) Aygor, Hulya Eskiizmirli; Sahin, Sevnaz; Sozen, Emine; Baydal, Basak; Aykar, Fisun Senuzun; Akcicek, FehmiBACKGROUND: The objectives of this study were to examine the prevalence and risk of pressure ulcers (PrUs) among hospitalized patients 65 years or older in a university hospital setting and to assess the potential for prevention and healing in that population. METHODS: The retrospective study conducted at the general medicine departments of Ege University Hospital in Izmir, Turkey, included 209 patients (115 females, 94 males) 65 years or older, who had been admitted to the hospital for a variety of reasons between April 1, 2011, and October 1, 2011. The following tools were used to collect data: a data collection form to identify the sociodemographic and medical characteristics of the patients, the Braden Risk Assessment Scale to assess the risk of PrUs, and a form to monitor PrUs, which included the site of the PrU, the category, and the PUSH (Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing) score, a tool for tracking changes in PrUs status applied at weekly intervals. RESULTS: The mean patient age was 73 (6.4) years. The prevalence of PrUs was 5.8% during the hospital stay. Pressure ulcers appeared most frequently in the ischeal tuberosity area (40%), and 45.2% of all PrUs observed were category II. The comorbidities of the patients who had PrUs were as follows: rheumatoid arthritis, 40% (n = 5); acute renal failure, 24% (n = 3); multiple myeloma, 8% (n = 1); chronic renal failure, 8% (n = 1); pneumonia, 8% (n = 1); and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, 8% (n = 1). CONCLUSIONS: Pressure ulcers are a common healthcare complication in the older adult population, with potentially severe consequences. The most important intervention that healthcare professionals can make to reduce PrUs is to determine and address risk factors.Öğe THE INFLUENCE OF SELECTED PERSONALITY AND WORKPLACE FEATURES ON BURNOUT AMONG NURSE ACADEMICS(Turkish Online Journal Educational Tech-Tojet, 2012) Kizilci, Sevgi; Erdogan, Vesile; Sozen, EmineThis study aimed to determine the influence of selected individual and situational features on burnout among nurse academics. The Maslach Burnout Inventory was used to assess the burnout levels of academics. The sample population comprised 94 female participant. The emotion exhaustion (EE) score of the nurse academics was 16.43 +/- 5.97, the depersonalization (DP) score was 4.83 +/- 3.62, and the personal achievement (PA) score was 22.27 +/- 4.27. Thirty years and below of the academics reported a lower level of PA than 31 and above of academics (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in EE and DP according to age. Single academicians indicated a higher level of DP than married (p < 0.05). However, no significant differences were observed for EE and PA scores according the marital status. Professors and research assistans reported a lower level of PA than instructors (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in EE and DP scores according to the academic position of nurse academics. There were no significant differences in three dimensions of burnout scores according to the weekly work hours and education model of nurse academicians (p > 0.05). Future studies should investigate the relationship between roles of the nurse academics and burnout.Öğe Symptom Incidence and Defining the Symptom Clusters in the Patients with Heart Failure(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012) Ozer, Serap; Sozen, Emine; Aykar, Fisun Senuzun; Fadiloglu, CicekÖğe Turkish Adaptation of The European Heart Failure Self-Care Behaviour Scale(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012) Ozer, Serap; Sozen, Emine; Aykar, Fisun Senuzun; Fadiloglu, Cicek
