Aims To determine whether nurses respect or violate patient privacy by comparing nurses’ and patients’ opinions. Background Although nurses want to respect patient privacy, they can sometimes violate patient privacy or not pay enough attention. Method This comparative and cross‐sectional study was conducted with 357 patients and 305 nurses in 12 public hospitals in Trabzon, Turkey. Data were collected with an information form and the Patient Privacy Scale. Reporting is consistent with the STROBE checklist for cross‐sectional studies. Results The total mean score of the patient privacy scale was 4.6 ± 0.39 for nurses and 4.5 ± 0.41 for patients, and no significant difference was found between their scores (U = 52999.0; p = .554). Further, the nurses (U = 14358.0; p = .000) and the patients (U = 13272.5; p = .006) in the public hospitals had statistically significantly higher overall privacy scores than those in the training and research hospitals. The overall privacy scale scores were higher and more statistically significant in the patients hospitalised in surgical clinics than those hospitalised in clinics for internal diseases (U = 8514.0; p = .005) and in single compared to married patients (U = 12364.5; p = .034). Conclusion Nurses respected patient privacy highly according to both nurses and patients, and there was no significant difference between their views. However, nurses working in training and research hospitals and internal diseases clinics need to improve their approaches to patient privacy. Relevance to clinical practice The results of this study could be used to reduce patient privacy vulnerabilities in complex hospitals and clinics such as training and research hospitals and to improve institutional policies and activities regarding patient privacy. By comparing the results of patients and nurses, the study provided more consistent and accurate data about patient privacy.
Introduction:This study aimed to determine how mothers with overweight and obese child perceived their child's weight and how they approached his/her weight problem. Materials and Methods:The study was carried out between April and December 2017 with 212 mothers who agreed to participate voluntarily in the study at a university hospital and a public hospital. The data that were collected using a questionnaire prepared by the researchers were gathered by face-to-face interview method. The questionnaire consists of four parts including demographic information about the mother and the child, mothers' perceptions of their child's weight, mothers' applications for his/her weight and the methods used by mothers and the attitude they had in applying these methods respectively. Results: The mean age of the mothers was 35.75±5.56. 50% of them had secondary school or below education level. 52.4% of overweight or obese children were girls, and the mean age of the children was 7.94±2.91. Besides, 47.6% of mothers were at a normal weight, 39.2% were overweight and 12.3% were obese. 54.7% of mothers perceived their child's weight inaccurately. Conclusions:The study demonstrated that the majority of the mothers perceived the weight of their overweight and obese child inaccurately and considered him/ her at a normal weight. Mothers who were aware of the fact that their child was overweight or obese performed various applications to solve the child's weight problem Öz Giriş: Bu araştırma, fazla kilolu ve obez çocuğa sahip annelerin çocuklarının kilolarını nasıl algıladıklarını ve annelerin çocuklarının kilo problemlerine nasıl bir yaklaşımda bulunduklarını belirmek amacıyla yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma, üniversite hastanesinde ve bir devlet hastanesinde çalışmaya gönüllü olarak katılmayı kabul eden 212 anne ile Nisan-Aralık 2017 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirildi. Araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan anket formu ile veriler yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile toplandı. Anket, sırasıyla anne ve çocuğa ilişkin demografik bilgiler, annelerin çocuklarının kilosuna ilişkin algıları, annelerin kilosuna yönelik başvuruları ve annelerin kullandıkları yöntemler ve bu yöntemleri uygularken sahip oldukları tutumlar olmak üzere dört bölümden oluşmaktadır. Bulgular: Annelerin yaş ortalaması 35,75 ± 5,56 idi. Annelerin %50'si ortaokul ve altında eğitim seviyesindeydi. Fazla kilolu veya obez çocukların %52,4'ü kız olup, çocukların yaş ortalaması 7,94±2,91'di. Ayrıca annelerin %47,6'sı normal kilolu, %39,2'si fazla kilolu ve %12,3'ü obezdi. Annelerin %54,7'si çocuklarının kilosunu yanlış algıladı.
ÖzAkıllı telefonlar, online oyunlar, e-posta, mesajlaşma ve çeşitli sosyal ağ siteleri gibi elektronik iletişim araçları 21. yüzyılda ergenlerin hatta çocukların hayatlarında önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Çocuk ve ergenlerin teknolojiye bağlı bu yaşam tarzları onları birçok çevrimiçi risk ile karşı karşıya getirmektedir. Zorbalığın yeni yüzü olan ve siber zorbalık olarak adlandırılan bu durumda çocuklar mağdur ya da fail konumundadırlar. Her iki durumda da davranışsal sorunlarla ilişkili olan siber zorbalık, çocukları fiziksel, ruhsal ve zihinsel olarak olumsuz etkilemektedir. Bu doğrultuda hem toplum hem de çocuk sağlığı açısından oldukça önemli bir problemdir. Çocuk ile çalışan tüm meslek grupları gibi sağlık profesyonellerinin de çocuklardaki uyarı işaretleri ve en uygun müdahale stratejilerinin farkında olmaları gerekmektedir. Bu derlemenin amacı, çocuklarda görülen siber zorbalığı ve hemşirelik yaklaşımlarını incelemek aynı zamanda hemşirelerin siber zorbalık ile ilgili farkındalıklarını arttırmaktır.
