    Objective: To examine the relationship between the symptom experience of lung cancer patients and their illness perception of the disease. Methods: The descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted from April to September 2015 at the Chemotherapy Treatment Centre of the Medicine Chest Diseases Clinic at the Ege University, Izmir, Turkey, and comprised lung cancer patients of either gender aged >18 years. Data was collected using a predesigned Patient Questionnaire as well as the standard Lung Cancer Symptom Scale, Illness Perception Questionnaire and Karnofsky Performance Scale. The patients' sociodemographic characteristics and data on their illness, the symptoms they experienced and the numerical and percentage distribution of the items on the illness perception scale, mean and standard deviation values were examined. Pearson Correlation analysis was used to examine the correlation between illness perception and Karnofsky Performance Scale scores and other variables. Results: Of the 105 patients, 86(81.9%) were males, 86(81.9%) were married, 49(46.7%) were elementary school graduates, 101(96.2%) were unemployed, and 95(90.5%) were receiving chemotherapy. The overall mean age of the sample was 61.43 +/- 8.24 years, the period since diagnosis was 11.38 +/- 17.84 months, and the duration of chemotherapy was 4.28 +/- 2.37 months. The mean symptom burden score was 22.75 +/- 10.85 and the Lung Cancer Symptom Scale score was 22.75 +/- 10.85. The mean score of the type of illness domain was 5.53 +/- 2.12. The overall mean global quality of life score was 64.30 +/- 12.60. Conclusions: As the symptom burden experienced by the lung cancer patients increased, their perception of the illness became more negative, and the longer the cyclical periods and the period of diagnosis, the patients' control over their illness decreased.

    Aim. This study was aimed to investigate whether the practice of laughter yoga in nursing students who just started university can help them cope with stress. Design. An experimental randomized controlled study was conducted. Methods. The research was conducted with first-year students (n = 38) who were willing to participate in the study. The intervention group took part in six 45-50 minute laughter yoga sessions twice a week for three weeks. Results. The comparison of the mean and total scores obtained from the Coping Behavior Inventory and Physio-Psycho-Social Response Scale by the participants in the control and intervention groups before and after the implementation of the laughter yoga practices demonstrated that there was a statistically significant difference between the two tests in the intervention group and the difference was especially evident between the pre- and posttest scores obtained from the Coping Behavior Inventory. Conclusions. In this study, laughter yoga practice helped the participating nursing students who just started university to cope with stress. It can be recommended that laughter yoga should be integrated into the curriculum in schools where nursing education is provided as a way of coping with stress, that its use should be expanded, and that randomized controlled experimental studies in which its physiological and psychological effects in different groups are investigated with objective and subjective parameters should be conducted.

The study population was completed with eight people with pemphigus vulgaris who applied to the dermatology clinic of a university hospital in a metropolis between September 2019 and March 2020. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using phenomenological methods. Three main themes emerged and nine supporting sub-themes were identified. The main themes are (a) the physical problems they are experiencing now, (b) the psychological difficulties they are feeling now, and (c) intense future anxiety about the process and the future. This study will increase the understanding of the lived experiences of pemphigus vulgaris patients, increase the awareness of each nurse about these patients and will be able to provide better quality care to individuals with pemphigus vulgaris.
