The aim of this study is to determine the problems faced by individuals living with cancer (ILCs) in accessing health services during the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey. This qualitative study’s sample consisted of 18 volunteer interviewees from 10 cancer-related patient associations in Turkey. Research data were collected by semi-structured interview method. Data collection and analysis were carried out simultaneously. In the sessions where all researchers participated together, the data were coded with a common view, and main and sub-themes were determined. In the analysis of the data the inductive thematic analysis method was applied. Information was gathered under two main themes: compliance with the measures taken and access to health services. Lack of information about nutrition, physical activity, psychological problems, caused by the lockdown and social distance measures taken within the scope of the pandemic should be accepted as problems within the scope of the right of individuals to access health, and additional programs should be prepared to minimize these. Cancer types should be considered in delaying diagnosis, treatment, and controls related to cancer, so that patients are not harmed at least or at all. It is important to ensure that patients do not hesitate to attend diagnosis, treatment, and controls with the anxiety of being infected with COVID-19, both in transportation to health facilities and in terms of preventing transmission in health facilities. © 2022, Universidad de Chile - Centro Interdisciplinario de Estudios en Bioetica.

Harlequin ichthyosis is the severest form of non-bullous ichthyosis, which is quite uncommon in newborns, and is usually characterized by fatal extreme keratinization of the skin. Because of the facial appearance of newborn, which resembles clown, the disease is called as harlequin -one of the comic characters of Italian street theatre. The present case report concerning a newborn with harlequin ichthyosis, which is an uncommon condition requiring intensive care, aimed to guide the care process by discussing the experiences over the nursing care period. Within the scope of nursing process, the data were collected, the diagnoses were identified, interventions were planned and implemented, and the outcomes of these implementations were evaluated. The nursing diagnoses were made based on the diagnosis list established by the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association. Nursing process was performed within the scope of the activities of daily living. Life expectancy of the patient, who was expected to die within a few days after birth, was extended by efficient and preventive nursing care, but these implementations have not been sufficient to prolong survival. Specific to this case, we can say that death could be postponed by nursing care. Palliative and preventive care is recommended when harlequin ichthyosis is encountered

PubMedID: 28342627 Aim The aim of the study is to provide usage of subcutaneous tissue of lateral calf area (region of M. Gastrocnemius) in addition to the existing injection regions and to compare tissue thicknesses of the lateral upper arm, anterior and lateral thigh, anterior abdomen regions and calf regions. Background Subcutaneous injection (SC) is an application of 0.5 cc drug with an injection (No. 25 and 8–15–18 mm long) to the connective tissue under the skin. Individuals to which SC injection is frequently applied, should rotate the injection areas. Methods This research uses the descriptive method. One hundred and sixty-one students (aged; 20.09 ± 2.268) were used as test subjects. Demographic data was obtained from the students who agreed to participate in the research. Body Mass Index (BMI) was calculated. Skin thickness measured using the Holtain Skinfold Caliper. SPSS 20 package software was used for statistical analysis of the data. For comparison of the tissue thicknesses between genders, the t-test was used for independent groups. In order to determine the interactions between anthropometric measurements within each other and other numerical measurements (age, length. BMI, etc.). Pearson Correlation coefficient and related P value was performed. Statistical P value is taken as 0.05. Results Consideration of subcutaneous injection applicability of the calf region depended on the injector lengths: 8 mm, 15 mm and 18 mm, 86.3%, 59.6% and 47.8% of the population, respectively were found applicable for this region. Conclusions The calf region could be recommended as SC injection region with an 8 mm injector. According to the findings it can be said that the calf region of female genders is more applicable than male genders for SC injection. Calf region could be proposed as anticoagulation treatment. © 2017 Elsevier Inc.

Organ transplantation is a method of solution for the problems in situations that severely impair the maintenance of life in an individual, because of functional disorders in a tissue or organ. Organ transplantations are no longer operations that carry risks, but they are safe and successful surgical interventions that maintain long-lasting recovery periods, increase quality of life, and are more commonly applied in a gradually increasing manner. Besides its medical aspects, organ transplantation has an extremely wide range of social, legal and ethical features. Validation of the moment of death, permission of donor, and cash benefit from organ transplantation are the matters of debate all over the world, regarding the ethical considerations. Regulation of all these issues by laws does not mean that the procedures are proper for ethical norms, but since compliance with laws has been maintained, limits of the criminal or legal liabilities are also defined. The National Coordination System is the most fair regulation in the organ allocation. The organs controlled by the Turkey Organ Control System are legally provided for the proper patient who is medically the most urgent and in a great need, according to the order of priority in the list. The aim of this study is to evaluate the problems associated with the organ and tissue transplantations, by considering the legal and ethical aspects that are specific for Turkey.

Yöntem ve Araç: Tanımlayıcı tipte olan araştırma bir üniversitede Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi Hemşirelik Bölümünde 2015-2016 eğitim yılında Klinik Etik dersini alan ve çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 9 yüksek lisans öğrencisi ile yapılmıştır. Veriler öğrencilerin demografik özelliklerini içeren bir veri toplama formu ve Hemşirelik Etik İkilem Testi kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistiksel analizler kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 31± 8.689 (min:23, max:45), tamamı kadın, lisans mezunu, ikisi araştırma görevlisi, 7 si klinik hemşiresi olarak çalışmaktadır. Çalışma yılları ortalaması 9.67± 9,220 dir. Katılımcıların %66,7 si lisans eğitimleri sırasında etik dersi almış olduğunu belirtmiştir. Tüm katılımcıların ilkesel düşünme puan ortalaması 42,33±3.54 (min:36-max:50), pratik düşünme puan ortalaması 21,67±4,79(min:15-max:30) olduğu saptanmıştır. Benzer durumlara aşinalık puanları ise 14,89±1,691 (min:13-max:18) olarak belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Hemşirelik eğitiminde verilen etik derslerinin öğrencilerin etik karar verme düzeylerini geliştirdiği düşünülmektedir. Mesleki deneyiminde etik karar vermeyi etkilediği ve aşinalık yarattığını söylemek olanaklıdır.
