    (Galenos Publ House, 2023) Cosar, Arife Albayrak; Kocak, Sibel Yucel; Turan, Filiz; Ozturk, Arzu; Yilmaz, Murvet
    Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the level of fear, anxiety, and obsession caused by the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, and to make a comparison with healthy individuals.Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted with 162 people (n=162) who were HD or PD patients or healthy individuals when lockdown measures were in force. Data were collected using a personal information form, the coronavirus anxiety scale (CAS), the obsession with COVID-19 scale (OCS), and the fear of COVID-19 scale.Results: The fear and OCS scores of the PD patients were significantly higher than those of the HD patients and healthy individuals (p<0.01). There was no difference between the groups with regard to the CAS scores. Positive correlations were found in the study between the COVID-19 Fear scale and the CAS and OCS (r=0.353; r=0.564 respectively; p<0.01). A positive correlation was also found between the COVID-19 anxiety scale and OCS (r=0.331; p<0.01).Conclusion: The fear, anxiety, and obsession levels of HD patients were similar to those of healthy individuals, but higher in PD patients. It is recommended that doctors and nurses should provide and maintain social and psychological support in extraordinary situations such as the pandemic, especially to patients with chronic illnesses such as PD patients who have to perform their own treatment at home, in order to reduce levels of fear, anxiety, and obsession.

    (Univ South Bohemia Ceske Budejovice, Fac Health Social Sciences, 2025) Duzalan, Ozlem Bulantekin; Cosar, Arife Albayrak; Sahin, Emre
    Background: Ethical decision making is a complex process in health and nursing care. Whenever nurses make ethical decisions, they also have to consider what benefits the patient. Some studies have shown that nurses' ethical perceptions and sensitivities directly affect quality of health care. Aim: This study aimed to assess the impact of internal medicine nurses' ethical perceptions and sensitivities on the quality of care. Methods: The sample of this analytical cross-sectional study consisted of two hundred nurses (n = 200) from internal medicine clinics of a university hospital (in Turkey). Data collection tools used to collect the data were a Nurse Information Form, the Caring Behaviors Inventory-24 (CBI-24), the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire (MSQ), and the Hospital Ethical Climate Survey (HECS). Data were analyzed with percentages, the Mann-Whitney U test, and correlation analysis. Results: A significant negative correlation was found between the total score of the CBI-24 (r = -0.152, p < 0.005) and the total score of the MSQ. A significant positive correlation (p < 0.05) was found between all subscale and total scores of the BDI-24 and all subscale and total scores of the HECS. There was no statistically significant correlation between HECS and MSQ (p > 0.05).
