Objective: The study aimed to determine nurses' self-efficacy levels for safe transfusion of blood and blood components.
Method: The design of this study is descriptive and cross-sectional. Before starting the study, ethics committee approval and institution approval was obtained. The participants were informed about the purpose of the study, and their written consent was obtained. The research was conducted between the dates 01 March 2022 and 01 May 2022, a private hospital in Turkey. The study sample consisted of 482 nurses. Data were collected using descriptive characteristics form and the Safe Blood and Blood Products Transfusion Self-Efficacy Scale (SBT-SES).
Results: The total SBT-SES scores of the nurses were high (202.7 ± 50.1), and the behavioral sub-factor self-efficacy scores were moderate (48.2 ± 19.5). When the SBT-SES scores were analyzed based on demographic characteristics, it was found that those who had received previous safe blood transfusion training scored higher than those who had not, and women scored higher than men (p < 0.05). In addition, no relationship was found between age, working time, number of weekly blood transfusions, and self-efficacy levels.
Discussion: As a result, nurses' self-efficacy levels towards blood transfusion are high. However, the behavioral sub-factor self-efficacy level is not sufficient.
Conclusion: Based on these results, in order to increase the behavioral self-efficacy levels of nurses, our recommendations are as follows: investigating appropriate training methods, considering the sex factor when choosing training methods and techniques, investigating the barriers to safe transfusion behaviors, and measuring self-efficacy levels at regular intervals.

Background/aim: Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is the standard strategy after induction therapy for newly diagnosed transplant-eligible multiple myeloma. High-dose melphalan (HDM) conditioning has been the recommended treatment regimen for a long time. No other conditioning regimen has been proven safer and more effective.

Purpose: To assess the surgical outcomes of Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Extravesical Ureteral Reimplantation (RALUR-EV) in infants under one year of age with primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) as compared to older children.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 48 children with VUR who underwent unilateral or bilateral RALUR-EV between June 2018 and December 2022. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A (25 infants under one year) and Group B (23 children over one year).
Lysozyme/Tracheal Antimicrobial Peptide-Based Tissue-Specific Expression Antimicrobial Plasmids Show Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Activities in the Treatment of Mastitis in Mice.

The use of antibiotics is the preferred therapy for bacterial diseases. However, overusing antibiotics has led to the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, which is now a major public health concern. Therefore, in this study, the performance of lysozyme (LYZ)/tracheal antimicrobial peptide (TAP)-based tissue-specific expression antimicrobial plasmids (TSEAP) have been evaluated in the treatment of mastitis in mice.

Background: Robotic surgery may have shown advantages over conventional laparoscopic surgery, but the da Vinci SP system, which utilizes a single incision, has had limited use in gastric cancer surgery. This study aims to evaluate the short-term outcomes of a novel hybrid technique, minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic surgery (MILAR), with the da Vinci SP system for gastric cancer.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study reviewed 23 consecutive patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer using the MILAR technique with the da Vinci SP system between May and October 2024.
