Efficacy of facilitated tucking position and Reiki given to preterm infants during orogastric tube insertion: A randomised controlled trial.

Aim: This research was conducted to evaluate the effects of Reiki and facilitated tucking position on pain, stress and physiologic parameters in preterm infants during orogastric tube (OGT) insertion.

Methods: The study used a single-blind, parallel-group randomised controlled experimental design. It was carried out in the neonatal intensive care unit of a hospital in Niğde/Turkey between February 2022 and January 2023.

The effectiveness of an individual and family self-management theory-based education program given for adolescents with epilepsy and parents: Randomized controlled trial.

Background: This study focused on an online education program based on Individual and Family Self-Management Theory.

Purpose: The study investigated whether the education program affected adolescents' attitudes toward epilepsy, seizure self-efficacy, quality of life, and their parents' perceived nurse-support levels.

Methods: The study is a single-blind, randomized, controlled trial.

Development and psychometric evaluation of the paternal support scale of breastfeeding.

Background: Social support positively affects the adaptation process of the woman to the maternal role during pregnancy and the postpartum period and increases her sensitivity to her baby. It is known that the support provided by fathers to their wives during this process positively affects their decision to breastfeed and continue.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to contribute to the literature by the Paternal Support Scale of Breastfeeding, testing its validity, reliability and psychometric properties.

The development of The Epileptic Seizure Parental Burden Scale: A validity and reliability study.

Objective: It is common for parents to shoulder the burden of care for their children with chronic diseases. However, there are no robust scales to measure the burden of care of parents of children with epilepsy. This study aimed to develop the "Epileptic Seizure Parental Burden Scale (ESPBS)" and evaluate its psychometric properties.

Validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the paternal breastfeeding self-efficacy scale - Short form for fathers.

Background: Women supported by their partners are more likely to initiate and maintain breastfeeding and overcome related challenges. Therefore, reliable measurement tools are needed to determine whether fathers can provide this support.

Aim: This study aimed to (1) examine the psychometric properties of the Paternal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF) in Turkish fathers, including internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, construct validity using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA); and (2) assess the relationship between the BSES-SF and paternal demographic factors.
