Öğe Burnout levels in neonatal intensive care nurses and its effects on their quality of life(Australian Nursing Federation, 2013) Aytekin, Aynur; Yilmaz, Fatma; Kuguoglu, SemaObjective The purpose of this study was to investigate burnout levels of nurses working in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and the effects of burnout on their quality of life. Design This was a descriptive and correlational study. The researchers obtained data using a questionnaire to uncover the demographic and occupational characteristics of the nurses, and conducted face-to-face interviews via the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF). Setting The NICU of two state hospitals located in the north of Turkey. Subjects A total of 80 nurses. Main outcome measures Levels of burnout experienced. Results The score means of emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and personal accomplishment were 14.90 +/- 5.53, 3.87 +/- 2.77 and 11.43 +/- 4.63, respectively. The results showed the nurses had burnout at moderate levels with regard to emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment, and low levels of depersonalisation. In addition, the study showed a significant negative relationship in many sub-scales of the burnout and quality of life scale. Conclusion The nurses experienced moderate burnout in emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment. The study found that, as burnout level increased, the quality of life of the nurses decreased. It is suggested that several measures must be taken to prevent burnout in nurses.Öğe Evaluation of the Effect of Sociodemographic Characteristics on the Satisfaction of Mothers in Neonatal Intensive Care Units in Turkey(Mashhad Univ Med Sciences, 2016) Yilmaz, Fatma; Atay, Selma; Arikan, Duygu; Guler, Sedef TekeliBackground: Patient and parent satisfaction is a significant indicator for the evaluation of quality of care in healthcare systems. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of sociodemographic characteristics on the satisfaction of the parents of newborns admitted in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in maternity and infant disease hospitals. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 113 mothers with infants admitted in the NICU of a state hospital in Turkey during April 1-September 30, 2013. Data were collected using sociodemographic questionnaire and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) healthcare satisfaction scale. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics (mean and percentage), T-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: In this study, mean score of maternal satisfaction with NICU services was 65.66 +/- 20.01. No statistically significant differences were observed between maternal age, PedsQL satisfaction subscales, and total score of satisfaction. Moreover, statistically significant associations were observed between the following variables: maternal training and total satisfaction, employment status and subscales of PedsQL, technical skills and general satisfaction, and social security status and emotional support. However, no statistically significant differences were observed between the sociodemographic characteristics of newborns, total score of satisfaction, and mean scores of PedsQL satisfaction subscales in mothers. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, level of maternal satisfaction with NICU services was higher than the international average. Therefore, it is recommended that NICU nurses offer sufficient emotional support for both mothers and neonates in this unit and allow mothers to stay with their infants during hospitalization. Furthermore, it is suggested that training programs be implemented on effective communication skills between nurses and patients.Öğe Evaluation of the effect of sociodemographic characteristics on the satisfaction of mothers in neonatal intensive care units in Turkey(Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, 2016) Yilmaz, Fatma; Atay, Selma; Arikan, Duygu; Güler, Sedef TekeliBackground: Patient and parent satisfaction is a significant indicator for the evaluation of quality of care in healthcare systems.

BarisImmature rice grain is one of the underutilized by-products of paddy milling process. Despite its high potential of use as a food ingredient, it is mainly utilized as feed due to the rancidity problem. In the present study, the composition of immature rice grain, the potential of using infrared (IR) radiation for stabilization, and the effects of IR stabilization on color, fatty acid composition, tocopherol and gamma-oryzanol contents of the grain were investigated. The free fatty acid (FFA) value of the unprocessed immature rice grain was 5.49% and increased to 35.71% at the end of 3 months of storage at room temperature. However, FFA content of the grains stabilized with IR radiation at specific conditions remained unchanged throughout the storage period. Moreover, IR stabilization did not caused a negative effect on the noted components of the immature rice grain.Öğe The Effect of Kangaroo Mother Care, Provided in the Early Postpartum Period, on the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Level of Mothers and the Perceived Insufficient Milk Supply(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2020) Yilmaz, Fatma; Kucukoglu, Sibel; Ozdemir, Aynur Aytekin; Ogul, Tanju; Aski, NesrinThe aim of this study was to determine the effect of kangaroo mother care, provided in the early postpartum period, on the breastfeeding self-efficacy level and the perceived insufficient milk supply. This study was conducted as the quasi-experimental design. The population of the study consisted of the mothers and their infants, to whom they gave birth in a university hospitals located in either eastern or western Turkey, between December 2016 and June 2017. In this study, mothers and their infants were randomly assigned to the experimental group (kangaroo mother care, n = 30) and the control group (n = 30). This study included 2500 to 4000 g birth weight infants who had no serious health problems and no sucking problems. The Introductory Information Form, the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Perception of Insufficient Milk Questionnaire were used to collect the data. In this study, kangaroo mother care was provided as a nursing intervention for the mothers in the experimental group twice a day until they were discharged. Any other application was not performed in the control group's mothers apart from the routine application. Ethical principles were adhered in all stages of the study. The breastfeeding self-efficacy mean score (65.50 +/- 3.95) of the mothers who performed kangaroo mother care was higher than the mean score of the mothers who did not perform kangaroo mother care (55.50 +/- 7.00) (P < .001). In addition, mothers in the experimental group (46.60 +/- 3.40) perceived their milk more sufficiently than mothers in the control group (30.17 +/- 11.37) (P < .001). In the study, a statistically significant correlation was determined between breastfeeding self-efficacy levels of mothers in the experimental group and the perceived insufficient milk supply (P < .05). In the study, kangaroo mother care increased breastfeeding self-efficacy perception of the mothers and reduced the perceived insufficient milk supply. This shows that kangaroo mother care can potentially have an important effect on breastfeeding perceptions.
