Purpose: The aim of this study, which is the first in this field in Turkey, is to determine the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients who have undergone transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in a psychiatry clinic.
Design And Methods: This study has a retrospective descriptive design. Data of 513 psychiatric patients who have undergone TMS between 2015 and 2018 in a university hospital were reviewed.
Findings: Significant differences were found between psychiatric diagnoses of the patients, based on their sex, marital status, and the number of courses of treatment with TMS (p < 0.05).
Practical Implications: It was suggested that nurses who would practice this procedure were required to be educated for TMS and nursing care to provide well and effective care.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a global public health emergency. Patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) are at increased risk for severe infections with multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms, although more data are needed on the relative burden of MDR Enterobacterales (MDR-E) in immunocompromised populations. In this study, we compare the prevalence of Enterobacterales resistance in cultures from patients undergoing HCT with that of non-HCT patients seeking care at a large healthcare system in North Carolina, USA.
