Amaç: Topuk kanı alınması işlemi; yenidoğanların hastanede kaldığı sürede en sık uygulanan ağrılı girişimlerdendir. Mekanik vibrasyon yenidoğan ağrı kontrolünde tercih edilebilecek invaziv olmayan, ucuz ve kolay uygulanabilir bir yöntemdir. Çalışmamız yenidoğanlarda topuk delme işlemi sırasında oluşabilecek ağrı hissini engellenmek için mekanik vibrasyon uygulamasının etkinliğini test etmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırma randomize kontrollü, tek merkezli prospektif bir çalışma olarak Medeniyet Üniversitesi Göztepe Eğitim Araştırma Hastanesi'nde, 37-42 GH' nda doğan sağlıklı term 60 yenidoğanda, Eylül 2012-Mart 2013 tarihleri arasında yapılmıştır. Çalışma alınma kriterlerini karşılayan yenidoğanların ebeveynlerinden onam alınmıştır. Topuk delme işlemi her yenidoğana yapılan fenilketonüri testi sırasında uygulanmıştır. Hastaların tamamının demografik özellikleri, işlem sürecindeki KTA, SPO2, vücut ısısı ölçümleri kaydedilmiştir. Tüm uygulamalar kameraya kaydedilmiş, sonrasında görüntüler izlenerek araştırmacı tarafından NIPS skorlaması yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada NIPS puanlama sisteminin Cronbach's alpha katsayısı işlem sırası için .85, işlem sonrası için .87 olarak bulunmuştur. Bulgular: Deney grubunun NIPS puan ortalaması işlem sırası ve işlem sonrası için (0,967±1,771) ve (1,733±2,050), kontrol grubunda ise sırası ile (3,567±1,775) ve (4,533±1,907) olarak belirlenmiştir (p<0,05). Her iki gruptaki yenidoğanların işlem sonrası NIPS puan sonuçları işlem sırasındakilerden istatistiksel olarak anlamlı yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Sonuç: Yenidoğanlarda ağrı algısının azaltılmasında ve ağrı kontrolünde mekanik vibrasyon yöntemi etkili bulunmuştur. AbstractObjective: One of the most frequently observed painful procedures during newborn hospitalization is the neonatal heel prick. The use of vibration therapy in newborn pain control can be a preferred method for its non-invasive, cheap, and easy applicability. This study aimed to evaluate effectiveness of mechanical vibration application to avoid pain sensation during heel puncture in newborns. Methods: This was a prospective single-center, placebo-controlled,, prospective randomized study. The study sample composed of healthy neonates born between 37 and 42 weeks of gestation in Medeniyet University Göztepe Training and Research Hospital. Sixty healthy neonates born in the study hospital between September 2012 and March 2013 and who matched the inclusion criteria after parental consent was obtained were included in the study. Heel puncture was applied to the infants during routine testing for phenylketonuria. It was recorded that all of the newborns demographic characteristics, heart rate,oxygen saturation and body tempature measurement at the process. All applications was saved to video camera, then displayed followed and the NIPS was scored by the investigator. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the NIPS scoring system was 0.85 during the procedure and 0.87 after the procedure in this study. Results: Before procedure and during procedure the NIPS point average...

Background:Wellbeing is one’s evaluation and judgment of one’s life. It consists of 3 dimensions: positive affectivity, negative affectivity, and life satisfaction.Objectives:This study aimed to compare the subjective wellbeing and positive future expectations between working and nonworking adolescents.Patients and Methods:The study was designed as descriptive and comparative. The study sample consisted of 420 working and 482 nonworking adolescents (n = 902) aged 15 - 20 years, who were randomly recruited from two occupational education centers in Istanbul, Turkey and two high schools (formal educations) in the same district.Results:Adolescent subjective wellbeing scale (ASWS) total mean (SD) scores for working adolescents and nonworking adolescents were 48.76 (9.50) and 49.72 (8.01), respectively. In addition, positive future expectations scale (PFES) total mean (SD) scores for working adolescents and nonworking adolescents were 18.71 (4.50) and 19.06 (3.49), respectively. In this study, no significant difference was found between the general wellbeing (scale total median score) scores of the working and nonworking adolescent groups (Z = 1.01, P = 0.315). However, significant differences were found in the family relations satisfaction (Z = 3.23, P = 0.002) and relations with significant others (Z = 2.85, P = 0.004) subscales of the ASWS.Conclusions:A positive relationship was found between adolescent subjective wellbeing and positive future expectations. It was found that nonworking adolescents scored higher on the dimensions of “family relations” and “relations with significant others” of subjective wellbeing compared to those dimensions in working adolescents.
