    Empathy And Lgbti Perspectives Among University Nursing Students In Turkiye
    (ARCHIVES OF PSYCHIATRIC NURSING, 2024-12) Topal, Cansu Akdag; Ucgun, Tugce; Gurel, Reyyan
    Objective: The research aims to understand the factors influencing nursing students' attitudes towards the LGBTI community, given the importance of culturally competent and inclusive care in healthcare. Method: A descriptive and relationship-seeking design was used. The study was completed by 386 nursing students. Data were collected with "Personal Information Form, LGBTI Attitude Scale (LGBTI-AS) and Toronto Empathy Scale (TEQ)". Hierarchical regression analysis was used to identify predictors of attitudes towards LGBTI individuals among nursing students. Results: The total mean score of the Awareness to LGBTI Attitude Scale was 2.47 +/- 1.0 (moderate attitudes). The findings revealed that female students and senior nursing students exhibited more positive attitudes, while those with friendships with LGBTI individuals and higher empathy levels showed greater acceptance and understanding towards the LGBTI community (p p < 0.001). The results showed that 22 % of the total variance in the LGBTI attitude could be explained in model 3 (F = 27.43, R2 variation = 0.224, p = 0.001). Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of integrating LGBTI-related content into nursing curricula and promoting empathy-building activities. These findings underscore the significance of empathy in shaping positive attitudes and emphasize the need for comprehensive educational strategies to promote inclusivity in healthcare.

    Cross-Cultural Adaptation, Reliability and Validity of the Turkish Version of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire
    (2016) Gunaydin, Gurkan; Kanik, Zeynep Hazar; Karabicak, Gul Oznur; Sozlu, Ugur; Pala, Omer Osman; Alkan, Zeynep Beyza; Basar, Selda; Citaker, Seyit; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3248-0638; 26898339; E-3771-2014
    Background: Low back pain is among the most common musculoskeletal system disorders. Outcome measures are needed for the measurement of function, to establish a treatment program, and for monitoring the improvement in low back pain. There exist several questionnaires enquiring about function in low back pain. One of these is Japanese Orthopaedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire, whose reliability and validity were previously established. Other than the original version of the questionnaire, only its Persian version exists. The present study aims to investigate the cross-cultural adaptation, reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire. Methods: The study included 103 patients with low back pain. For reliability assessment of the questionnaire, test retest and internal consistency analyses were performed. The results of test retest analysis were assessed by Intraclass Correlation Coefficient method. For internal consistency, Cronbach Alpha value was used. Validity analyses of the questionnaire were performed by construct validity. For construct validity, convergent validity was tested. Convergent validity of the questionnaire was calculated via its correlation with suitable subscales of the Short Form-36 and the total score of the Oswestry Disability Index by using Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results: Intraclass Correlation Coefficient values for test retest reliability were found to be in the range of 0.765-0.924, which indicate a sufficient level of test retest reliability. Cronbach's Alpha value was found to be 0.804 indicating a high internal consistency. Pearson's correlation coefficient between Japanese Orthopaedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire to Short Form-36 and Oswestry Disability Index values were ranged between 0.424 and 0.810, indicating a good correlation. Conclusions: Considering all these data, it was concluded that the Turkish version of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire is valid and reliable.
