Throughout the clinical learning process, nursing students' perception of aggression might have implications in terms of their future professional behavior toward patients. Using a descriptive cross-sectional design, we investigated the relationships between student nurses' perceptions of aggression and their personal characteristics, defense styles, and a convenience sample of 1539 experiences of aggressive behavior in clinical practice. Information about the students' personal features, their clinical practice, and experiences of aggressive behavior was obtained by questionnaire. The Turkish version of the Perception of Aggression Scale and Defense Styles Questionnaire-40 were also used. Students were frequently exposed to verbal aggression from patients and their relatives. And perceived patient aggression negatively, perception of aggression were associated with sex, defense styles, feelings of safety, and experiences of aggressions during clinical practice. Of interest is the reality that student nurses should be prepared for untoward events during their training.

Motor dürtüsellik alt ölçek puanları açısından morbid ve morbid olmayan obezite hastaları ile kontrol grubu arasında fark yoktu. Toplam dürtüsellik puanı ile dikkatsizlik ve plan yapmama alt ölçek puanları morbid obezite hastalarında sağlıklı kontrollerden yüksekti, ancak morbid olmayan obezite hastaları ile sağlıklı kontrol grubu arasında aynı puanlar açısından fark yoktu. Plan yapmama alt ölçek puanları morbid obezite hastalarında morbid olmayan obezite hastalarından daha yüksekti. Obezite hastalarında dürtüsellik ile benlik saygısı arasında negatif korelasyon saptandı. Tartışma: Yüksek dürtüsellik düzeyi morbid obezite gelişiminde önemli bir etken olabilir. Morbid obezite hastalarında dikkatsizlik, bilişsel düzensizlik ve o ana odaklı olma yani gelecek için plan yapmama gibi dürtüsel özelliklerle, benlik saygısı temel alınarak yapılacak psikoterapötik girişimler bu hastaların tıbbi ve cerrahi tedavisine yardımcı olabilir.

Furthermore, high harm avoidance, low self-directedness and low persistence may be significant personality characteristics in a process leading to morbid obesity. In addition, harm avoidance temperament and self-directedness personality characteristics may be correlated with body image dissatisfaction and self-esteem in obese individuals.
