“…International Agency for Research on Cancer (GLOBOCAN) data show that 14.1 cancer cases have developed worldwide, and there have been 8.2 million cancer‐related deaths (Carter, ). World cancer report and Ministry of Health data indicate that cancer‐related deaths in Turkey are ranked second among all causes of death (Bağçivan et al, ; Coleman, ; Stewart & Wild, ; Turkish Statistical Institute, ).…”

Breast cancer and cervical cancer are important causes of cancer‐related mortality in women all over the world. The present study was conducted in order to investigate the distribution of cervical and breast cancer risk factors in women and their knowledge and behaviours about cancer screening methods. The study is cross‐sectional in nature. It was conducted with the participation of 1,886 women in Turkey. Data were collected through a questionnaire. The knowledge and behaviours of women aged 40 and over about breast cancer or cervical cancer screening methods were investigated according to the education level; results showed that the rates of those who knew and did breast self‐examination were significantly lower in illiterate women. Besides, the rates of women who did breast self‐examination were significantly lower in those who were aged 40 and over, and the rates of those who had clinical breast examination and Pap smear test were significantly lower in women aged 39 and below (p < 0.01). This study identified the most notable breast and cervical cancer risk factors as low education levels, high number of deliveries, short breastfeeding period, obesity and low socio‐economic level. For this reason, public health policies should be developed to minimise these risk factors.

“…They have to carry out their professional practices to this end in accordance with the laws and regulations and their own value systems, professional ethical norms, and codes. 6,7 In Turkey, Code of Ethics specified by International Council of Nurses (ICN) is accepted without any change. Previous studies showed that cultural values can influence individuals’ beliefs, ethical decisions, and professionalism.…”

Aim: This study was carried out in order to determine ethical decision-making levels of oncology nurses. Ethical Consideration: Research Ethics Committee's approval was obtained prior to the data collection. Permission to use the Turkish version of the Nursing Dilemma Test was received from Birgül Cerit. Written approval was taken from school administrators to conduct the study confirming that there were no invasive procedures planned for human beings during the study period. The study was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration. Verbal consent was obtained from each of the nurses who agreed to participate after they were informed about the study content. Method: The population of this study conducted in a descriptive way consisted of a total of 96 nurses working at the oncology units and outpatient chemotherapy units of four different hospitals between September 2017 and March 2018. The study sample included 60 nurses who responded to the question form. The data of the study were collected using “Nurses Information Questionnaire” and “Nursing Dilemma Test” developed by Crisham in 1981. Results: Oncology nurses’ mean scores in Principled Thinking (49.00 ± 6.46) and those in Practical Considerations (18.35 ± 4.47) were found to be above the moderate level. It was determined that the oncology nurses participated in the study were familiar with situations similar to the dilemmas included in the Nursing Dilemma Test (15.00 ± 4.20). Conclusion: It was concluded that oncology nurses try to take ethical principles into consideration but are also affected by environmental factors while making decisions concerning ethical dilemmas. The most frequently encountered ethical dilemmas by oncology nurses include the following: deciding not to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, telling the truth to the patient, studies being carried out without the patient’s content, and patient’s refusal of treatment. In order to improve oncology nurses’ critical thinking and ethical decision-making skills, it is important to determine ethical dilemmas encountered by oncology nurses, and nurses should be encouraged to be involved in ethical decision-making process through cooperation with the other healthcare personnel.

“…While evidence-based research is so important for professional nursing, nurses working in the clinic are more limited in this regard. Research conducted in the field of nursing is increasing in Turkey, but these studies are mostly conducted and published by academician nurses (6). In addition to academic nurses, nurses working in the clinic should be a part of the scientific research process concerning improving nursing care quality (7).…”

Objective: The present study aims to reveal the effects of the education program provided to nurses on their perceived obstacles to conducting scientific research and attitude for scientific research. Materials and Methods:This interventional study in the pre-test post-test model was carried out between February 2018 and August 2018. The universe of this study consisted of nurses working in three major public hospitals in Manisa (N= 1023). The sample was composed of nurses who worked in these hospitals and agreed to participate in this research (n= 106). The sociodemographic questionnaire, the nurse and presentation subscales of the barriers to research utilization scale and the attitude scale for scientific research were used in data collection. The scientific research skills education program was presented to the nurses participating in this research. Results:There was a significant difference between pre and post scores of the participants in the reluctance to help researchers, negative attitude towards research and positive attitude towards researchers subscales of attitude towards scientific research scale (p<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the pre and post scores of the participants in the subscales of the barriers to research utilization scale and positive attitude towards research subscale of attitude towards scientific research scale (p>0.05). Conclusion:After the educational program, the findings showed that the participants' reluctance to help the researchers and their negative attitudes towards research decreased, and a positive attitude towards researchers increased. As a result, while education intervention affected nurses' attitudes towards research, it had no effect on their perceptions of an obstacle to scientific research.
