    Background Diarrhoea still ranks among the top causes of the deaths of children under five years old in the world. In solving this important health problem, it is necessary and imperative to know the health-related knowledge levels of mothers who take care of the child individually and the traditional practices they perform when their children are sick, in order to provide effective health education. Aim This study aims to examine the knowledge levels and traditional practices of mothers with children younger than 5 years old regarding diarrhoea in relation to their education levels. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional web-based survey. The population of this cross-sectional study consisted of mothers with children under the age of 5 who lived in the metropolitan city Bursa in the South Marmara Region of Turkey. The survey was applied among the mothers of children under the age of 5 using the snowball sampling method via mobile platforms. The data were collected via Google Forms using a "Socio-Demographic Data Collection Form", an "Information Form on Measuring the Knowledge Level of Mothers on Diarrhoea" and a "Form on Main Traditional Practices Used When Children Have Diarrhoea in Turkey" prepared by the researchers after a review of the relevant literature. Results In the study, the mean total diarrhoea knowledge score of the participating mothers was found to be 22.01 +/- 3.72 (high). Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between the total diarrhoea knowledge scores of the participants and other variables. The difference in the knowledge scores based on education levels was statistically significant (p < .001). The most prevalently preferred traditional practice in the case of children's diarrhoea was "feeding the child banana" (92.5%). Conclusion Maternal education level is determined to be a significant variable that positively affects diarrhoea knowledge levels. KEY MESSAGES Diarrhoea continues to be among the top five preventable causes of death in the world and Turkey among children under the age of 5. The knowledge level of mothers about diarrhoea plays an important role in diarrhoea management. The level of knowledge about diarrhoea differs according to the education level of mothers. Traditional practices have an important place in the management of diarrhoea by mothers.

    (Churchill Livingstone, 2023-08-30) Kaçan, Cevriye Yüksel; YÜKSEL KAÇAN, CEVRİYE; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/Hemşirelik Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-1316-8617
    Background: It is an important competence for nurses to develop compassion emotions during their education. Studies emphasize compassion as one of the most important components of spiritual care, suggesting that spiritual care begins with compassionate relationships. However, there is no study about the relationship between these two concepts in nursing students.Objective: To determine the level of perceived compassion and perceived spiritual care in nursing students and to reveal the effect of compassion on perceived spiritual care.Design: Cross-sectional study.Setting: The faculty of health sciences of a state university in Turkey.Participants: Nursing students at the faculty where the study was conducted in the fall academic semester of the 2022-2023 academic year.Methods: The population of the study consisted of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade nursing students at the faculty of health sciences of a state university in the fall academic year of the 2022-2023 academic year (N = 720). The study was completed with a total of 440 nursing students. Data were collected online using a sociodemographic information form, the Compassion Scale and the Spiritual Care-Giving Scale between October 10 and November 20, 2022 via Google Forms.Results: The students scored 98.72 +/- 12.16 (high) on the Compassion Scale and 146.47 +/- 28.92 (high) on the Spiritual Care Giving Scale. There was a significant positive correlation between their perceived compassion and spiritual care giving mean scores (r = 0.440; p < 0.01). The explanatory power of the regression model was 0.292, suggesting that 29.2 % of the variance of spiritual care-giving can be explained by compassion.Conclusion: The students reported high levels of perceived compassion and perceived spiritual care. Compassion is an important component in the formation of perceived spiritual care in nursing students. Further studies in diverse populations will be useful for the comparisons of relevant results.
