Background: It is important to determine the relationship between the quality of sleep, which is the basic requirement, and job satisfaction, which has an important place in the working life of nurses. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between sleep quality and job satisfaction of nurses working in the pediatric surgery clinic during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and Methods:This study is of descriptive type. The sample of the study consists of 94 pediatric surgery nurses who are members of the Association of Pediatric Surgery Nurses. Nurse Descriptive Information Form, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Nurse Job Satisfaction Scale (NJSS) were used to collect the data. Descriptive statistics, Shapiro-Wilk, Kruskall Wallis, Mann-Whitney-U test and Pearson Correlation analysis were used in the evaluation of the data. Results: The mean age of the pediatric surgical nurses was 32.82±7.85 years. It was determined that the sleep index and job satisfaction of pediatric surgery nurses were low. There was a negative and moderate correlation between the scores the pediatric surgery nursing obtained from the Nurse Job Satisfaction Scale and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. It was determined that as the sleep quality of the pediatric surgery nurses decreased, the job satisfaction decreased. Conclusions:As a result of the study, the sleep quality of pediatric surgery nurses in the COVID-19 pandemic decreased their job satisfaction. It is thought that these results may play a key role in increasing the job satisfaction and regulating working conditions of pediatric surgery nurses working at the forefront of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ezilme sendromu sıklıkla doğal ve insan kaynaklı deprem, maden göçükleri, bina yıkılması, toprak kayması gibi afetler sonucunda meydana gelmektedir. Özellikle son yaşanan deprem felaketleri ile birlikte ülkemizin bir deprem bölgesi olduğu gerçeği tekrar bilimsel bir gerçek olarak karşımıza çıkmıştır. Ezilme sendromu özellikle erken dönemde yüksek mortaliteye sahip olup acil bir durumdur. Ezilme sendromunun tedavi bakımı depremzedenin kurtarılma anı ile başlar ve uzun süren bir rehabilitasyon dönemi ile sonuçlanır. Bu derleme depreme bağlı sıklıkla gelişen ezilme sendromuna dair güncel bilgileri derleyerek ve hemşirelik bakımı hakkında güncel bilgilendirmeyi sağlamak amacıyla yazılmıştır.

In this study, it was aimed to examine the quality and quantity of postgraduate theses on the effect of massage applied in the postoperative period on pain. The literature search was conducted on 5-10 March 2022 in the National Thesis Center database of the Council of Higher Education without any year limitation. The keywords "surgery" and "massage" and "pain" were used while scanning. Theses that meet the eligibility criteria are included in the review. The theses reached were evaluated according to their titles, and the theses that were not related to the subject were removed. Eight theses from master's and doctoral theses in the field of nursing were examined. In the search, 18 theses were reached. The five theses reached were excluded from the study because they were not related to the subject. Of the remaining 13 studies, two were excluded because they were specializations in medicine, one was physiotherapy and rehabilitation, and one was family medicine. Since the full text of one of the theses could not be reached, it was excluded from the study. Eight theses were included in the study as a result of examining the studies determined to make the selection according to the inclusion criteria. Three of the theses were master's theses, and the remaining five studies were carried out as doctoral theses. The time of publication of theses varies between 2009-2019. When the types of theses are examined, three studies are quasi-experimental, four studies are randomized controlled studies, and one study is a study with a pretest-posttest control group. The research group of one of the theses consists of pediatric patients. Various types of massage were compared in the studies evaluated. It has been seen that hand massage and foot massage are mostly used. It has been concluded that hand massage or foot massage applied in the postoperative period is effective in reducing pain. In line with these results, it is recommended to use massage, which is one of the non-pharmacological methods, in pediatric and adult patients to reduce pain in the postoperative period.
