Findings:The average Cyberloafing Scale (CLS) total score of the students was 87.71 ± 18.55, while the average Social Media Addiction Scale (SMAS) total score was 71.30 ± 19.85. A positive and moderately significant relationship was found between the CLS and SMAS scores (p < 0.01).Practical Implications: The cyberloafing and social media addiction levels of nursing students were found to be high. It was also found that the cyberloafing levels of the students increased as their social media addiction levels increased.

Amaç: Bu çalışma, kanser hastalarında umutsuzluğun ve manevi bakım algısının değerlendirilmesi amacıyla tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel olarak yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmanın evrenini, Haziran-Eylül 2019 tarihleri arasında bir üniversite hastanesinin onkoloji servisinde tedavi gören tüm kanser hastaları oluşturdu. Araştırmanın örneklemini ise, kanser hastalığı olup araştırmaya katılmayı engelleyebilecek fiziksel ve zihinsel bir problemi bulunmayan, araştırmaya katılmayı gönüllü olarak kabul eden, soruları yanıtlayabilecek bilişsel yeterliliği sahip, 18 yaş ve üzerinde olan 125 hasta oluşturdu. Veriler araştırmacılar tarafından yüz yüze görüşme tekniği ile "Kişisel Bilgi Formu", " BECK Umutsuzluk Ölçeği" ve "Maneviyat ve Manevi Bakım Dereceleme Ölçeği" kullanılarak toplandı Bulgular: Hastaların BECK Umutsuzluk Ölçeği puan ortalaması 11,63±5,34, maneviyat ve manevi bakım ölçeği puan ortalaması 66,54±4,90 olarak saptandı. Hastaların yaşı ile gelecek ile ilgili duygular puanı arasında anlamlı, pozitif bir ilişki olduğu görüldü (r=0,183 ve p=0,041). Bekar hastalarla farklı bir kronik hastalığı olanların BUÖ toplam puan ortalamasının, gelecek ile ilgili duygular puan ortalamasının ve gelecek ile ilgili beklentiler puan ortalamasının daha yüksek olduğu saptandı. Katılımcılardan bekar olan, ailesinde başka kanser hastası olan ve farklı bir kronik hastalığı olan hastaların maneviyat ve manevi bakım dereceleme ölçeğitoplam puan ortalaması daha yüksek bulundu (p<0,05). Ayrıca araştırmaya dahil edilen hastaların maneviyat ve manevi bakım algılarıyla umutsuzluk düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve doğrusal bir ilişki olmadığı sonucuna varıldı (p>0,05). Sonuç: Kanser hastaların orta düzeyde umutsuzluğa sahip olduğu belirlendi. Hastaların maneviyat ve manevi bakım algıların yüksek düzeyde olduğu bulundu. Anahtar Kelimeler: Kanser, manevi bakım, umutsuzluk Aims: This study was conducted descriptively and cross-sectionally to evaluate hopelessness and spiritual care perceptions of cancer patients Material and Method: The population of this study consisted of all cancer patients treated in an oncology department of a university hospital between June and September 2019. The sample of the study consisted of 125 patients who were 18 years or older, who had cancer and had no physical and mental problems that could prevent participation in the study, voluntarily accepted to participate in the study, and had cognitive competence to answer the questions. Data were collected by researchers using the "Personal Information Form", "BECK Hopelessness Scale" and "Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale" by face to face interview technique. Results: Patients' BECK Hopelessness Scale score average was determined to be 11.63±5.34 and spirituality and spiritual care scale score average was 66.54±4.90. There was a positive relation between patients' age and their emotions about the future score (r=0.183 and p=0.041). Beck hopelessness total score average, emotions about the future score average and expectations about the future s...

Objective: This study was conducted to find out the pain management status and life satisfaction of elderly individuals living in a nursing home and to determine the relationship between these.Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in a nursing home in Turkey in November 2019. The data were collected by the researchers with face-to-face interview technique by using "Personal Information Form", "Geriatric Pain Measure (GPM)", "Pain Management Inventory (PMI)" and "Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS)".Results: GPM total score was 48.95±11.24, and average LSS was 14.37±6.85. There is a positive statistically significant association between GPM and PMI (r=0.385; p<0.01), while there is a negative statistically significant association between GPM and LSS (r=-0.369; p<0.01). There is a negative statistically significant association between PMI and LSS (r=-0.344; p<0.01). Conclusion:It was found that elderly individuals had moderate level of pain and poor life satisfaction. It was found that as level of pain increased, elderly individuals' life satisfaction decreased.
