Hospitalized children can have various fantasies about hospital, health staff, and related tools and equipment. They need to develop new coping strategies for compliance with hospitalization.This study aimed to investigate the perception of nurses by children with acute and chronic illness through their drawings. The study was carried out using a descriptive research model. “Nurses through the eyes of sick children data collection form” was used in data collection procedure. The instruction “draw a picture of a nurse, please” was used to get the children to draw a picture. The majority of the children portrayed nurses as a smiling face. The children with chronic diseases featured nurses more in their drawings and they mentioned more nurse duties. The most important sign of the progression of nursing is that the mentioning of the modern roles of nursing by the children in their drawings and expressions. As children are influenced by their emotions, thoughts, observations, and experiences while drawing pictures, nurses can determine their thoughts about the disease, hospitals, physicians, and nurses by having sick children draw pictures.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate several socio-demographic and long-term clinical outcomes in a cohort of women living with a restrictive eating disorder. Methods: Patients were asked to fill in a general data collection form aiming to investigate their current conditions and to attend the outpatient unit for a 10-year follow-up clinical and laboratory evaluation. Results: Forty-four patients completed the follow-up general data collection form and 20 agreed to attend the outpatient unit for the 10 year-follow-up evaluation. In total, 52% of patients were single, 55% had achieved a university degree, and 55% had steady employment. After 10 years, there was a clear improvement in biochemical markers, but cholesterol levels were still slightly high. The prevalence of osteopenia in the whole sample was 70% when measured on the lumbar column and 20% on the total body, while osteoporosis was found in 10% of patients and only on the lumbar column. Conclusion: According to the collected data, women with a history of restrictive eating disorders appear to re-adapt well to social life by obtaining the level of their unaffected peers in terms of education and employment.

The purpose of finding out the opinions of pregnancy on the education given in their antenatal periods, their post-education experiences and contributions. This research was conducted retrospectively. The study was completed with 40 pregnant women who took part in the pregnancy school program and  met the study criteria. The research data were collected using a data collection form developed by the investigators. 95% of the women stated that the education that they received was helpful during their pregnancy and 72.5% stated in the process of delivery and all of them stated during their postpartum periods. 52.5% of the woman stated that they lived labour fear and all of them explained they defeated fear using education given by pregnancy school program. 70% woman found the education satisfactory, the others proposed that some topics should be detailed especially coping accidents during pregnancy and also wished husbands should participate this education. We found in the research that the pregnancy school program had contributions during pregnancy and delivery and in the postpartum period and we think that it has an important role in solving the obstetric problems.  Pregnancy school program will increase the women’s adaptation to pregnancy and decrease the workload of healthcare professionals. ÖzetAraştırma, gebelerin antenatal dönemde verilen eğitim hakkındaki görüşlerini, eğitim sonrası deneyimlerini ve katkılarını belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Retrospektif olarak yürütülen araştırma gebe okulu programına katılan ve çalışma kriterlerine uyan 40 gebe ile tamamlanmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen veri toplama formu ile toplanmıştır. Kadınların %95’i gebe okulunda aldıkları eğitimin gebelik döneminde, %72.5’i ise doğum sürecinde fayda sağladığını ifade etmiştir. Kadınların %52.5’i gebeliğinde doğum korkusu yaşadığını, korku yaşadığını ifade edenlerin tamamına yakını ise gebe okulundan aldığı bilgilerle bu korkuları ile baş edebildiğini belirtmiştir.  Kadınların %70’i eğitimi yeterli bulurken, diğerleri ise bazı konuların daha detaylı verilmesini, gebelikte görülen kazalar ve baş etme konusunun programa eklemesini, eşlerinde bu eğitime katılmalarını önermişlerdir. Araştırmada gebe okulu programının; gebelik, doğum ve doğum sonrası dönemde önemli katkıları olduğu belirlenmiş olup obstetrik problemlerin çözümünde önemli bir yere sahip olduğu düşünülmektedir. Gebe okulu programı kadınların gebeliğe adaptasyonunu arttıracak ve sağlık bakım profesyonellerinin iş yükünü azaltacaktır.

In-service education was conducted with regards to applying intramuscular injection to the ventrogluteal site. In the content of the planned education, the transmission of theoretical information on the subject, the demonstration on the manikin and video were included. Then, the nurses carried out the intramuscular injection implementation on the manikin under the supervision of the researchers.
