    Effectiveness Of Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy Compared To Wet-Dry Dressing In Pressure Injuries
    (2022) Sahin, Ezgi; Rizalar, Selda; Ozker, Emre; 35022147
    This study aims to compare the effects of Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) and wet-to-dry dressing on Stages 3 and 4 pressure injuries (PI), This study is a randomized controlled trial. A total of 30 patients with Stages 3 and 4 pressure injuries were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups: NPWT group and the wet-to-dry dressing group. All patients received 3 rounds of treatment. Data were collected with a Patient Identification Form, Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing (PUSH) Tool and the findings of the Three-Dimensional Wound Measurement (3DWM) device. We found that granulation tissue formation was more significant in the experimental group (p < .05), and that there was more significant wound shrinkage (p < .05) with a more significant decrease in the PUSH Tool scores (p < .05). The wounds were assessed with the tool and the 3DWM system. Device measurements were found to be correlated with PUSH Tool findings (p < .05). There was a significant correlation between device-measured granulation findings and PUSH Tool score results of the experimental group's third measurements (p < .05). We conclude that NPWT is an effective treatment method for pressure injuries, and 3DWM device is a useable wound assessment tool.

    (2019) Gezginci, Elif; Kosucu, Sibel Nargiz; Goktas, Sonay; Sahin, Ezgi; 31402254
    Background. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between depression and healthy lifestyle behaviors of patients with a history of transplant. Methods. This was a descriptive study. The study was conducted on 110 patients who received organ transplant and attended a university hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. Data were collected using a patient information form, the Beck Depression Inventory, and the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale-II. Results. The mean age of the patients in years +/- SD was 45.8 +/- 12.35; 60.9% of them were men; and the mean body mass index (kg/m(2)) was 26.9 +/- 4.84. There was a statistically significant difference between nutrition subscale and body mass index. A statistically significant difference was found between the total score of healthy lifestyle behaviors, nutrition, and interpersonal relationships subdimension with education status. There was a statistically significant difference between health responsibility, nutrition, and interpersonal relationships subdimension with marital status. There was a statistically significant difference between health responsibility subdimension and income status. A statistically significant difference was found between nutrition, spiritual growth, interpersonal relationships, stress management subdimension with living alone or living with someone. There was a statistically significant difference between depression scores and elapsed time after transplantation. There was a significant moderate negative correlation between depression and healthy lifestyle behaviors scores. Conclusion. According to results of this study, healthy lifestyle behaviors of patients with a history of organ transplant were affected by factors such as body mass index, education status, income status, and marital status. Depression levels decreased as healthy lifestyle behaviors improved for the patients of organ of the transplant.
