(Rzeszów University Press, 2025-03) Aydın, Bahise; Bektaş, Murat
Introduction and aim. Pain is a common symptom in children. Studies indicate that nurses and student nurses lack knowledge about pediatric pain. This study was designed to determine the level of knowledge of pediatric pain management for nursing students and to evaluate the effectiveness of the web-based pediatric pain management education (PPME) program. Material and methods. This study used a pre/post-test quasi-experimental design before/after the test. It was carried out with 84 pediatric nursing internship students (39 control, 45 intervention) in a nursing school. The control group received routine training, and the intervention group received web-based modules. Data were collected using the questionnaire developed by the researchers and evaluated using the paired sample t-test, independent samples t-test, Spearman’s correlation and regression analysis. A structural equation model (SEM) was used. Results. The level of knowledge of the intervention group was significantly higher than that of the control group in terms of the total score and sub-dimension scores of awareness, physiopathology and ‘control’ (p<0.05). A moderate, positive and significant correlation was observed between PPME and knowledge levels. Web-based education accounted for 56.6% of the in crease in knowledge level, resulting in an improvement of 11.062 points. A notable positive correlation was observed between PPME and control scores in SEM. Conclusion. The conclusion drawn is that the web-based PPME effectively increased student knowledge scores.

Introduction and aim. Gifted children are defined as extraordinary children due to their high level of intelligence and specific skills. This study aimed to examine gifted children and their peers perceived parental attitudes, quality of life (QoL), and psychosocial problems. Material and methods. The study sample consisted of two groups: (1) gifted children (study group) and their parents and (2) peers (control group) and their parents. Data were collected using a descriptive characteristics form, the parental attitude scale (PAS), the pictorial pediatric symptom checklist (PPSC) and the pediatric quality of life inventory (PedsQL). Results. Both groups were similar in terms of age, gender and grade level. It was mostly the mothers who completed the data collection forms. The study and control groups had a mean PAS score of 94.18±0.738 and 99.31±0.798, respectively and a mean PPSC score of 16.11±0.475 and 16.76±0.480, respectively. The study and control groups had a mean QLS score of 83.19±0.70 and 80.28±0.83, respectively. There was a weak positive correlation between the PAS and PPSC scores (r=0.92; p<0.166). Conclusion. It is recommended that parental attitudes and their effects on children’s psychosocial status and QoL be monitored and that parents be supported. Parental attitudes and a child’s psychosocial and behavioral problems and QoL levels should be assessed to by health professionals be able to improve the well-being of both children and their parents.

(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2022) Topan, Aysel; Kurt, Aylin; Yanik, Merve; Tatoğlu, Nilüfer; Özsavran, Musa
Introduction and aim. The use of pacifier is a very common practice in the early childhood period in the world. In recent years, the harms of pacifiers have been discussed rather than their benefits. We aimed to determine the knowledge and behaviors of mothers with children aged 0–3 about the use of pacifiers. Material and methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 363 mothers between January 10th and November 31st, 2020 in Zonguldak, Turkey. The data were collected with a web-based questionnaire. This article was prepared following STROBE guidelines. Results. The mothers started using the pacifier for the first time when their children were at an average of 2.86±3.31 months old, and they used it for at an average of 12.06±9.13 months. Of the mothers, 36.4% were found to clean the pacifier every month and 30.6% to have the behavior of dipping the pacifier into a product such as sugar, honey, molasses, and jam. The mothers with undergraduate degrees had the behavior of cleaning pacifiers more than those with postgraduate degrees (p<0.001). Conclusion. Mothers preferred to give pacifiers to babies at a high rate and had misinformation about the use of pacifiers that may harm their children’s health.
