Professional self-competence and self-efficacy of paramedics who first interfere to emergency events are important. An important ratio of deaths in emergency intervention are due to emergencies that require cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and also emergency labor is frequently seen in rural areas. In this research, CPR and labor simulation training’s effect on professional self-competence and relevance of self-efficacy in paramedic students has been investigated. The pre-test and post-test experimental research was carried out with 68 pregraduate paramedic students. Following the pre-questionnaire, all students were given simulation training about CPR and labor, and students were evaluated two times with a weak interval by making one-to-one simulation applications. Afterwards a post-questionnaire was applied, Sherer’s General Self-Efficacy Scale (SGSES) was used to determine self-efficacy levels. Professional self-competence perception level and evaluation scores of the students increased significantly in pre and post-questionnaire comparison. The statistically significant difference between professional self-competence perception and graduated high-school in pre-questionnaire was not obtained in post-questionnaire. While SGSES scores were higher in the students who felt more professional self-competence, SGSES scores and professional self-competence scores did not statistically differ among pre and post-questionnaires. Simulation trainings in the education process of paramedic students has significant impact on professional self-competence., Acil durumlara ilk müdahale eden sağlık görevlilerinin mesleki öz-yeterlikleri ve öz-etkililikleri önemlidir. Acil müdahaledeki ölümlerin önemli bir oranı, kardiyopulmoner resüsitasyon (KPR) gerektiren acil durumlardan kaynaklanmaktadır ve ayrıca kırsal alanlarda acil doğum sıklıkla görülmektedir. Bu araştırmada, KPR ve doğum simülasyonu eğitiminin paramedik öğrencilerinde profesyonel öz-yeterlik üzerine etkisi ve öz-etkililik ile ilişkisi araştırıldı. Ön-test ve son-test yarı-deneysel araştırma, 68 paramedik ön lisans öğrencisi ile gerçekleştirildi. Ön-anket sonrasında tüm öğrencilere KPR ve doğum ile ilgili simülasyon eğitimi verildi ve öğrenciler birebir simülasyon uygulamaları yapılarak bir haftalık aralıkla iki kere değerlendirildi. Ardından son-anket uygulandı, öz-etkililik düzeylerini belirlemek için Sherer'in Genel Öz-Yeterlik-Etkililik Ölçeği (SGÖEÖ) kullanıldı. Öğrencilerin mesleki öz-yeterlik algı düzeyleri ve değerlendirme puanları anket öncesi ve sonrası karşılaştırmada anlamlı olarak arttı. Ön anketteki mesleki öz-yeterlik algısı ile mezun olunan lise arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark, son ankette elde edilmedi. Daha yüksek mesleki öz-yeterlik hisseden öğrencilerin SGÖEÖ puanları daha yüksek iken, SGÖEÖ puanları ve mesleki öz-yeterlik puanları anket öncesi ve sonrası arasında istatistiksel olarak farklılık oluşturmamıştır. Paramedik öğrencilerin eğitim süreçlerindeki simülasyon eğitimlerinin mesleki öz-yeterlik üzerinde önemli etkisi vardır.

This study was carried out to assess the effect of the perceived social support by chronic diseased students on their school success. This cross-sectional and descriptive research was conducted with hospitalised chronic diseased children aged between 10-16 years. Data of the study was collected by using Perceived Social Support Scale. The research has been conducted with a questionnaire method. School life of children with diagnosed chronic disease is interrupted by; frequent hospitalizations, controls, treatment approaches and medicational side effects. The children who participated the survey were determined to fall behind in their lessons and had decreased school success when compared to peers. While these factors affect children’s school adaptation and success, social support has been shown have positive effects on these topics. While chronic diseases were detected to have negative effects on children's school success, perceived social support has been determined to have positive effects. Besides, children stated that existence of a school nurse would not only help in their treatment and make them feel safer at school but also would prevent absenteeism. Social support and existence of a school nurse are important factors in the school success of chronic diseased children.

This research has been conducted to determine the effect of music on pain and anxiety levels of patients receiving chemotherapy during COVID-19.The research has been carried out in a real trial model with 92 adult patients (45 in the experimental group who received chemotherapy and 47 in the control group). The data have been collected by the researcher with Google Forms (using State and Trait Anxiety Inventory [STAI] and visual analogue scale [VAS]) through the links sent to the phones of participants on the day they received chemotherapy, between March 2020 and July 2020.The mean scores obtained from the post-test STAI (53.11 ± 4.77) and VAS (3.44 ± 2.53) in the experimental group have been determined to statistically significantly decrease when compared to the pre-test measurement data (STAI: 54.26 ± 4.26; VAS: 4.22 ± 2.41) (p 0.05). No statistically significant difference has been determined between pre-test and post-test mean scores of the patients in the control group.It has been observed that music applications reduce the pain and anxiety levels of patients receiving chemotherapy during the COVID-19 process. It can be recommended to use music applications in the management of pain and anxiety symptoms.

Bu araştırma kronik hastalığı olan öğrencilerin algıladıkları sosyal desteğin okul başarılarına etkisini değerlendirmek amacıyla yapıldı. Bu kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı araştırma, 10-16 yaşları arasında hastanede yatan kronik hastalıklı çocuklarla yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Araştırma anket uygulama yöntemiyle gerçekleştirildi. Kronik hastalığı olan çocukların okul yaşamları; sık hastaneye yatışlar, kontroller, tedavi yaklaşımları ve ilaç yan etkileri nedeniyle kesintiye uğramaktadır. Ankete katılan çocukların akranlarına göre derslerinde geri kaldıkları ve okul başarılarının azaldığı belirlendi. Bu faktörler çocukların okula uyumunu ve başarısını etkilerken, sosyal desteğin bu konularda olumlu etkileri olduğu gösterilmiştir. Kronik hastalıkların çocukların okul başarısı üzerinde olumsuz etkileri olduğu tespit edilirken, algılanan sosyal desteğin olumlu etkileri olduğu saptanmıştır. Ayrıca çocuklar, bir okul hemşiresinin varlığının sadece tedavilerine yardımcı olacağını ve kendilerini okulda daha güvende hissettireceğini değil, aynı zamanda devamsızlığı da önleyeceğini belirtmişlerdir. Sosyal destek ve bir okul hemşiresinin varlığı, kronik hastalığı olan çocukların okul başarısında önemli faktörlerdir., This study was carried out to assess the effect of the perceived social support by chronic diseased students on their school success.
