Background: With the declaration of the new coronavirus (COVID †19) pandemic, which was detected in the Wuhan region of China and later seen in many countries of the world, education and training were significantly affected in all countries, and distance education started to be used in all areas of education. To this end, students can exhibit cyberloafing behaviors during distance education for various reasons. Thus, this study aims to determine the levels of cyberloafing and the factors affecting these behaviors of students studying in health programs during distance education. Methods: In this descriptive study, 405 students studying in the health programs of various private and public universities in Turkey and met the criteria for inclusion in the study formed the research sample. Results: When the students’ tools to access distance education during the pandemic process were compared, it was found that students using computers had higher levels of cyberloafing activities than those using other tools (p<0,05). Conclusions: Distance education keeps students connected to technological tools, increases the risk of engaging in activities irrelevant to the course, and thus leads them to exhibit cyberloafing behaviors. Keywords: Distance education; cyberloafing; COVID-19
High rates of presenteeism among the nurses decreases their performances, increases the patient safety risks, and causes negative results in healthcare institutions. Presenteeism is affected by individual and organizational factors. The study was carried out to determine the presenteeism situation of nurses and their relationship with perceived organizational support. The research was carried out at a hospital in Kayseri/Turkey. The hospital has 372 nurses work there. Research population and sample the population of the research consisted of all the nurses working in the hospital (N=372). Thus, the research was conducted on 330 nurses. The research was carried out between September 2019 and November 2019. In the study, the data were collected by using the information form which was prepared by the researcher, the presenteeism scale, and the perceived organizational support scale. The total mean score of the participants' presenteeism is 23.64 ± 2.56. The lowest possible score which was obtained from the scale is 11 and the highest is 28. When the average of the perceived organizational support scale is examined; the average of the score was medium and the average score was 122.76 ± 8.53. It was determined that there was a significant relationship between the absence of attentiondistraction, which is the sub-dimension of presenteeism scale, and the total score of perceived organizational support (p<0.05), there was no significant relationship with completion task and presenteeism total scale scores (p>0.05). The high rate of presenteeism in nurses, decrease in work efficiency and job satisfaction, causes absenteeism. These studies suggest that measures should be taken by institutions to prevent and avoid negative situations that are caused by presenteeism.
The rapid development of technology and information systems today enables innovation to be effective in nursing services. Using innovative products in nursing improves the quality of care, reduces workload, increases evidence-based practices and enables patient procedures to be done in less time. Recently, we encounter different innovative products and approaches in the world and in our country. This review aims to give information about various innovative products applied in the world and in our country.
Introduction: In order to maintain nursing care in the most effective and quality way in There lationship between patient and nurse and nurses to manage this dynamic process, problem solving skills must be developed. Individuals in the learning environment are people who are independent from each other and have different characteristics and share the same environment. Objectives: To determine the learning styles of individuals and to manage the education process. Method: This study was planned to determine There lationship between the learning styles and problem solving skills of the students who received nursing education. The universe of There search consisted of 130 students in İzmir Bakırçay University Faculty of Health Sciences Nursing Department. In the study, the data were collected between 1-29 February 2020. Results: It was determined that 26.9% of the students participating in the study were male and 73.1% were female. It was observed that 33.8% of the students had learning style that parses, 22.3% changes, 28.5% assimilates and 15.4% places. It was determined that the problem solving skills of the students were moderate according to the score they received from the problem solving inventory (X = 82,09). There was a significant relationship between participants' general problem solving approach levels and Kolb learning style groups (p = 0.04). Conclusion: It is thought that the education given to students' learning styles will support their problem solving skills and the success rate will increase.
