Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the internet addiction and fear of missing out (FoMO) among nursing students.Design and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted with 511 nursing students who consent to participate.Results: It was found that 3.8% (14 students) of the students participating in the research were "pathological internet users." There was a positive correlation between internet addiction and FoMO (r = .332; P = .000).Practice Implications: The finding that addiction increases with the increase in the use of social media show us that the excessive use of social media is another risk that threatens the mental health of persons.

A descriptive questionnaire, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and Sexual Quality of Life Questionnaire were used to collect the data. Findings: Participants had a moderate level of self-esteem. The mean scores of the participants were 50.45 + 10.23 for Sexual Quality of Life Questionnaire. A positive correlation was found between self-esteem and sexual quality of life. Practice Implications: High self-esteem is positively correlated with quality of sexual life in obese woman. Physical activity increases self-esteem and sexual quality of life. Obesity impairs sexual quality of life among obese women. K E Y W O R D S obesity, self-esteem, sexual quality of life 1 | INTRODUCTION Obesity is one of the most serious health issues that have emerged as a result of a changing social, economic, cultural, and physical environment. 1 It may cause many physiological disorders such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cancers, and coronary artery diseases. 2 Obesity does not cause only adverse physiological effects on the human body. There are also psychological effects. Being criticized and socially excluded due to obesity-related reasons may lead to a decrease in the self-esteem of individuals. 3 Studies have stated that obese individuals have low self-esteem, 4 and self-esteem decreases with increasing body mass index (BMI). 5 It has been still discussed whether low self-esteem experienced by an obese individual is a reason or a cause of obesity.Sexuality is a part of human life and enhances the quality of life of individuals. According to the studies, obesity has a negative effect on sexual quality of life. 6,7 The prevalence of sexual dysfunction is also increasing among chronic diseases caused by obesity. 8 The prevalence of obesity is higher in women in Turkey. 9 Lifestyle changes and medical treatments are used for the treatment of obesity. It is required to know the mood of the individuals to develop positive lifestyle changes and keep obesity under control. Nurses are healthcare professionals in the medical team who spend time with patients most frequently and for a long time. For this reason, nurses have a significant role in evaluating the psychological parameters for obese women such as self-esteem and sexual quality of life. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the sexual quality of life and self-esteem of obese women. | MATERIALS AND METHODS | Study design and sampleThis is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. The population of the study consisted of women with obesity who applied to the dietician department of a university hospital. The study sample was calculated as 90 women using n = t 2 •p•q /d 2 , the formula that is used when the population is unknown. The study conducted between September 2019 and December 2019.The inclusion criteria for the women were determined as follows: being at the age ...

PurposeThis research was planned and applied as a descriptive study in order to determine the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors about testicular cancer (TC) and testicular self-examination (TSE) of male students who receiving health education.Design/methodology/approachThis descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted between May and August 2019 with male students. Early diagnosis of TC is quite important in terms of prognosis of the disease. The data were collected by using the questionnaire prepared by the researchers in accordance with the literature and the Turkish version of health belief model scale (HBMS) for TSE. The data were analyzed by number, percentage, mean and standard deviation and t test.FindingsTSE HBMS, it was observed that the mean score of susceptibility subscale was 11.23 ± 3.73, the mean score of seriousness subscale was 28.20 ± 7.66, the mean score of benefit subscale was 21.57 ± 5.90, the mean score of the barriers subscale was 22.74 ± 5.16, the mean score of self-efficacy subscale was 9.91 ± 3.13 and the mean score of the health motivation subscale was 8.92 ± 2.84.Originality/valueThere was a statistically significant relationship between having heard of TC and health motivation (p < 0.05). There was a statistically significant relationship between the knowledge of TC and self-efficacy and health motivation (p < 0.05). There was a significant relationship between self-efficacy and TSE performing status (p < 0.05). There was also a significant relationship between the desire to obtain information about TSE and seriousness, barriers, self-efficacy and health motivation (p < 0.05). It was determined that majority of university students did not have any information about TC and TSE.

This research was carried out to identify the relationship between the spiritual well-being and caregiver burden in caregivers of patients with breast cancer. The study was conducted with family caregivers of patients with breast cancer who presented to the oncology clinic of a university hospital for treatment. The study sample included a total of 138 family caregivers who met the criteria for participation and agreed to participate in the study. The data were collected using a participant information form, caregiver burden scale and three-dimensional spiritual well-being scale. The caregivers have a moderate level of caregiver burden and their spiritual well-being was quite high. The caregiver burden of female caregivers was found to be significantly higher than that of male caregivers ( p = 0.040). There is a negatively significant relationship between caregiver burden and spiritual well-being ( p = 0.000, r =  − 0.357). The caregiver burden is significantly higher among the 24-h caregivers compared to that among the 3-h and 4–6-h caregivers ( p = 0.003). The spiritual well-being of the caregivers who provide care between 3 h and 4–6 h a day was significantly higher than that of those who provide 24-h care ( p = 0.001). Increasing spiritual well-being may help to reduce caregiver burden in caregivers of those with breast cancer.

This study determined the relationship between death anxiety and COVID-19 related fear and anxiety in women with breast cancer. This is a descriptive correlation-seeking study. The research included 140 women with breast cancer who visit the day treatment unit of the oncology department of a state university hospital. Personal Information Form, Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S), Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS), and Death Anxiety Scale (DAS) were used to collect data. A significant difference was found between the DAS score and body mass index (p = .019) and between FCV-19S score and COVID-19 vaccination status (p = .007). As the fear of COVID-19 and coronavirus anxiety of women with breast cancer increase, death anxiety also increases. In conclusion, death anxiety should be taken into consideration for this patient group while maintaining the continuity of care for these patients now and in future pandemics.
