Data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0. Analyses included Kendall's W test, Cronbach's alpha, Kaiser Meyer Olkin (KMO) Test, Bartlett's Test, and Exploratory Factor analysis (Principal component analysis). Results: Analysis results showed that the 5-point Likert scale consisted of 34 items and five factors. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated as 0.974. Item analysis results revealed that the item-total and item-remainder correlations were significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: The Birth Health Belief Scale was determined to be a valid and reliable measurement tool.Öğe Effect of an educational program based on cognitive behavioral techniques on fear of childbirth and the birth process(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2019) Ucar, Tuba; Golbasi, ZehraObjective: This study determined the effect of an educational program based on cognitive behavioral techniques (CBT) provided for pregnant women to address their fear of childbirth.Methods: This study was conducted experimentally using pretest-posttest and a control group. A total of 111 Turkish pregnant women were recruited with 52 in the intervention group and 59 in the control group. The intervention group attended the educational program on coping with childbirth fears based on CBT, which took 3weeks over six sessions. The Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire, version-A (W-DEQ-A) was administered to both groups as the posttest. The researchers monitored the pregnant women's labor and delivery and the State Anxiety Inventory (SAI), Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and Birth Process Evaluation Form were completed.Results: The post-education W-DEQ-A score was 63.5 in the control group and 39.4 in the intervention group (p<.001). Their labor pain was lower, the second stage of labor was shorter and birth was more satisfactory for the intervention group than for the control group (p<.05). The CBT-based educational program and pain severity during childbirth were the significant predictors of satisfaction with childbirth (=0.354; =-0.324, respectively; p<.05 for all).Conclusions: The CBT-based educational program on coping with childbirth fears reduced pregnant women's fear of childbirth and positively affected their birth experience.Öğe The effect of peer education model on sexual myths of Turkish university students: An interventional study(WILEY, 2019) Evcili, Funda; Golbasi, ZehraPurpose The research was conducted to determine the effects of peer education model on sexual myths of Turkish university students.

Material and Methods: The research included 591 married women who presented to three primary public health care units randomly chosen among nineteen. Data were collected by "Personal Inquiry Form", "Domestic Violence Questionnaires" and "General Health Questionnaire (GHQ)". Data were analyzed by the Student's t-test, variance analysis and correlations test. Results: Overall, 64% of women were exposed to spouse violence. The average score for the general health of women was 5.16 +/- 5.09 and 48.1% of women were psychologically at risk. The average score for the general health of women who were exposed to spouse violence was remarkably higher (6.14 +/- 5.50) than those who never experienced spouse violence (3.40 +/- 3.67). The average score for GHQ for women who were exposed to all of four violence types (psychological, psychological/verbal, economic and sexual) was highest with 11.43 +/- 5.85 and for women who were exposed to only one violence type was the lowest with 4.11 +/- 3.85. A significant positive correlation was found between the number of violence types and average scores on GHQ (r=0.22, p<0.001). Conclusion: Spouse violence in the vicinities of primary public health care units is a major health problem and the mental health of women who are exposed to spouse violence is at risk more than those who are not exposed to spouse violence.Öğe Effects of the web-based birth preparation programme and motivational interviews on primigravida women: Randomized-controlled study(Wiley, 2024) Yesildag, Birnur; Golbasi, ZehraAimThis study aimed to identify the effects of a web-based birth preparation programme based on the Health Belief Model and supported by motivational interviews on fear of childbirth, self-efficacy and the labour process in primigravida women.MethodsThe study was conducted in a single-blind, randomized controlled design with 73 pregnant women. The Birth Health Belief Scale, the Wijma Delivery Expectation/Experience Questionnaire A-B, the Childbirth Self-efficacy Scale and the Labour Process Assessment forms were used to collect data. Five sessions of motivational interviews were held with the pregnant women in the experimental group, while those in the control group were administered placebo education.ResultsFear of birth was lower, and the birth self-efficacy total score was higher in the experimental group. None of the groups indicated significant differences in terms of their mode of delivery.ConclusionHealth Belief Model-based web-based birth preparation programme and motivational interviews were found to reduce the fear of birth, increase self-efficacy and positively affect the birth process in primigravida women. What is already known about this topic?Caesarean delivery is an important health problem that is common all over the world.Fear of childbirth and low self-efficacy are two important reasons for the increase in the frequency of caesarean section rates.Nurses can make important contributions to the prevention of optional caesarean birth by providing women with health education.What this paper adds?The web-based birth preparation programme based on the Health Belief Model and motivational interview decreased fear of birth and improved attitudes and behaviours towards vaginal delivery by increasing health beliefs and birth self-efficacy.The implications of this paper:This study brings a new perspective, indicating that a birth preparation programme based on the Health Belief Model and supported by motivational interviews with primigravida women is an effective method of preventing elective caesarean delivery.It is recommended that nurses use web-based training tools and conduct cognitive behavioural strategies in antenatal classes.Öğe Knowledge and Opinions of Turkish University Students About Contraceptive Methods and Emergency Contraception(SPRINGER, 2012) Golbasi, Zehra; Erenel, Ayten Senturk; Tugut, NiluferThis study was carried out to determine the knowledge and opinions of university students about contraceptive methods and emergency contraception (EC).

This cross-sectional population-based study was conducted in 19 primary health care centers from urban areas of Sivas in Turkey. Two hundred fifty-eight eligible pregnant women were interviewed at their home to gather the study data. A questionnaire was used to determine the socio-demographics and obstetric characteristics of the study sample. The Turkish version of the Edinburg Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was used to estimate the prevalence of depression. The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) was used to determine the social support of pregnant women. We found that with the cutoff of 13, of 258 pregnant women, 71 (27.5%) had prenatal depression. Mean EPDS score of the study population was 9.5 +/- A 5.2. We found a significant positive mild-moderate correlation between the EPDS score and maternal age (r = 0.30; P = 0.000). Significant positive mild correlations were found between the EPDS score and gravidity (r = 0.26; P = 0.000) and number of living children (r = 0.15; P = 0.042). There was a significant negative moderate correlation between the EPDS score and perceived social support score (r = -0.43; P = 0.000). The EPDS score of multiparas was significantly higher than that of primiparas (P = 0.000). EPDS scores of women with unplanned pregnancy were higher than those of women with planned pregnancies (P = 0.006). EPDS scores of women with a history of stillbirth were higher than those of women with no history of stillbirth (P = 0.044). Depression is a major public concern that needs to be at the forefront of antenatal assessments in Turkey as in other countries. Health professionals, especially nurses in prenatal settings, are in a unique position to detect antenatal depression. Nurses need to monitor pregnant women for depressive symptoms, especially those who are at increased risk of developing depression.Öğe Problem-Solving Abilities of The Nursing Students Studying in Integrated Education: A Follow-up Study(Istanbul Univ, Fac Nursing, 2011) Kelleci, Meral; Golbasi, Zehra; Dogan, Selma; Tugut, NilferPurpose: This research has been done to evaluate the year by year progress of nursing students studying in Integrated Education.

The population of the research consisits of 58 nursing students who started their education in this academic year by filling an annual form completely. The data has been collected with Personel Information Form and Problem Solving Inventory. The scale has three sub-dimensions as trust in problem solving ability, being volunteer/avoidant and self-control. They score minimal 32 and maximum 192 points. High score on the scale shows that students perceive problem solving insufficiently. Results: Average scores of Problem Solving Scale among the students are: 92.46 +/- 20.91 in the first measurement, 80.56 +/- 22.79 in the second measurement, 78.05 +/- 26.00 in the third measurement and 80.75 +/- 28.39 in the fourth measurement. The difference among the measurements has been found statistically significant(F=4.425, p=0.005). When the difference between the average points with respect to sub-dimensions of the scale was examined carefully, a year by year progress was observed in volunteer/avoidant (F=4.89, p=0.003) and in self-control (F=4.63, p=0.005), but a statistically-significant difference was not observed among the averages of the subdimension-trust in problem solving ability (p>0.05). Conclusion: According to the findings from the research, students' problem-solving skills, especially in the first three years can be said to show an improvement.Öğe Quality of Sexual Life and Changes Occurring in Sexual Life of Women With High-Risk Pregnancy(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2017) Tugut, Nilufer; Golbasi, Zehra; Bulbul, TulayThis study was aimed at determining the quality of sexual life and changes occurring in the sexual life of women with high-risk pregnancy.
