Purpose This study investigated nursing students' levels of internet addiction (IA) and time management (TM) skills. Design and Methods This cross‐sectional descriptive study was conducted with 400 nursing students of a university in Turkey. The data were collected using the Personal Information Form, IA Scale, and TM Inventory. Findings The IA scale and TM inventory mean scores were 40.83 ± 14.81 and 81.34 ± 11.91, respectively. A significantly negative relationship between students' level of IA and TM skills was found (p <0.05). Practice Implications The concept of effective time management should be used in interventions for promoting students' conscious internet use.

The aim of the current study was to examine the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and nutrition and physical activity behaviors using the Omaha System. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used with 227 women recruited from three vocational institutes. Measures included Omaha System Knowledge, Behavior, and Status ratings for nutrition and physical activity; sociodemographic information; and the ACE Questionnaire. Results demonstrated that more than one half of participants had a history of at least one ACE ( n = 132; 58.1%), and 33 (14.5%) had four or more. ACEs score was significantly associated with nutrition, but not physical activity behavior. Understanding the links between ACEs and health behaviors and including a brief screening for ACEs in primary care practice settings may help nurses holistically customize health promotion interventions and lead to better health outcomes. The Omaha System can efficiently measure health-related behaviors; examine their relationship to risk factors, such as ACEs; and capture individual and population-level changes.

Background: Frailty is a geriatric syndrome which is more higher among women. Limited evidence suggests a model-based intervention for preventing worsening frailty for women. Purpose: This protocol describes a single-blinded, two-armed randomized controlled study purposing to examine the effectiveness of Salutogenic Model-Based Frailty Prevention Program (SAFRAPP) for pre-frail women. Methods: Eighty-four eligible participants from vocational institutions of a municipality in Turkey is randomly allocated to either the SAFRAPP intervention or the control group. The SAFRAPP is a 6-week online nurse-led intervention program comprising of laughter yoga, health education and case management. The intervention is rooted in the Salutogenic Model, which focuses on strengthening individuals’ coping capacity to deal with stressors. The primary outcomes are the frailty and sence of coherence scores and the secondary outcomes are the well-being, quality of life and fear of fall scores, and number of falls and emergency admissions in the past three months. The study data for intervention and control group is obtained at four times: At baseline and at the 3-month, 6-month and 9-month follow-ups. Results: The protocol was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier number NCT04787432, registration date: 08/03/2021). Eligibility, baseline measurements, randomization, and intervention are completed. The follow-ups are ongoing. Implications for Practice: There is unsufficient evidence regarding the effectiveness of a model-based health promotion interventions for prevention of frailty. The SAFRAPP will provide evidence on prevention of frailty and improving sense of coherence of pre-frail women.
