    Effect of women's menopausal complaints and social appearance anxiety on their level of depression, stress, and anxiety: A cross-sectional study
    (Slack, 2023-07-01) Buran, Gonca; Çankaya, Seyhan; BURAN, GONCA; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri/Doğum ve Jinekoloji Hemşireliği Bölümü; 0000-0001-9082-553X; AAH-6269-2021
    Menopause is a significant time in the life of women, and they may experience social appearance anxiety in addition to their menopausal complaints during this period. This study aimed to determine the effect of women's menopausal complaints and social appearance anxieties on their level of depression, stress, and anxiety. The sample of this cross-sectional study included women (n = 305) who applied to the gynecology polyclinic, were between 40 and 65 years old, and had not been menstruating at least for a year. Study data were collected using the following tools: the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS), Social Appearance Anxiety Scale (SAAS), and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). One unit of increase in the women's total MRS and SAAS scale scores caused 0.597 points of increase in the depression subscale of the DASS-21 scale (R2 = 0.135, F (3;304) = 150.962; P < 0.001). As the menopausal complaints and social appearance concerns of women increase during menopause, their stress, anxiety, and depression levels also increase. [Psychiatr Ann. 2023;53(7):325-332.]

    The effect of postpartum sleep quality on the perception of insufficient milk and attitude to breastfeeding: A cross-sectional study
    (Taylor, 2022-12-28) Buran, Gonca; BURAN, GONCA; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum Hemşireliği Anabilim Dalı; 0000-0001-9082-553X; AAH-6269-2021
    The aim of this study was to determine the effect of sleep quality of postpartum women on perception of insufficient milk and attitude to breastfeeding. The research was designed as a cross-sectional study. It was carried out with 347 mothers in a university hospital between December 2021 and July 2022. Data was collected via a personal informational form, the Postpartum Sleep Quality Scale (PSQS), the Perception of Insufficient Milk (PIM) Questionnaire and the Breastfeeding Attitude Rating Scale (BAAS). According to the results of the correlation analysis, there was a statistically significant negative relationship between the total mean score of the Postpartum Sleep Quality Scale and the mean total score of both the Perception of Insufficient Milk and the Breastfeeding Attitude Assessment Scale (r = -.340, p = .000 and r = -.153, p = .002 respectively). Examining the variables relating to the PIM score, a statistically significant correlation was found between age, PSQS, education level (bachelor's graduates and above), mode of birth (general anesthesia and cesarean) and breastfeeding experience (previously having given birth or having breastfed a baby) [(R = .448; R-2 = ,200; F(5.341) = 17,096; p < .001)]. Mothers often need support to improve their sleep quality, as inadequate milk perception develops due to inadequate milk perception in the early postpartum period and changes their breastfeeding attitudes.

    Impact of the awareness and fear of COVID-19 on menstrual symptoms in women: A cross-sectional study
    (Taylor, 2021-11-09) Buran, Gonca; Öter, Emine Gerçek; BURAN, GONCA; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/Hemşirelik Bölümü; 0000-0001-9082-553X; AAH-6269-2021
    The researchers' aim was to determine the impact of the awareness and fear of COVID-19 on menstrual symptoms. We conducted the cross-sectional study with 125 women and collected using the Visual Analog Scale, the Menstruation Symptom Scale, the Awareness of COVID-19 Scale and the Fear of COVID-19 Scale. While 39% of the women reported that there was no change in the menstrual pattern during the pandemic process, 22.4% reported an increase in menstrual pain and 25.6% reported deterioration in the menstrual pattern. A one-unit increase in the women's fear of COVID-19 scale score increases the Menstrual Symptom Scale total score by 1016 points (p < .001). However, the awareness of COVID-19 had no impact on menstrual symptoms. As fear of COVID-19 increases menstrual symptoms, when providing nursing care, nurses should be aware that women need more support to cope with this condition.

    The effects of dyadic coping strategies and dyadic conflict resolution styles on postpartum depression of mothers in heterosexual marriages in Turkey
    (Guilford Publications Inc, 2023-12-01) Çankaya, Seyhan; Buran, Gonca; BURAN, GONCA; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi.; 0000-0003-0433-2515; ADD-6461-2022
    The authors of this study aimed to determine the effects of coping strategies and conflict resolution styles on postpartum depression in heterosexual mothers in the postpartum period in Turkey. A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 369 mothers with babies aged 1-12 months. The study was carried out between October 1, 2021, and December 1, 2021, in the pediatric outpatient clinic of the Medical Faculty Hospital of a province in the Central Anatolian Region of Turkey. Seventy-four (20.1%) mothers had scores above the depression scale cu-off point (>13). Having problems in marriage, getting a low score on the spouse's self-perception scale of dyadic coping with stress, and having negative, nonsubmissive, and retreating conflict resolution styles were found to be important factors associated with postpartum depression (p <.05). The incidence of postpartum depression was found to be associated with having problems in the marriage, not having good dyadic coping strategies, and having negative conflict resolution styles.

    Effect of hypnobirthing training on fear, pain, satisfaction related to birth, and birth outcomes: A randomized controlled trial
    (Sage Publications, 2022-01-27) Buran, Gonca; Aksu, Hilmiye; BURAN, GONCA; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/Hemşirelik Bölümü; 0000-0001-9082-553X; AAH-6269-2021
    We aimed to determine the effect of Hypnobirthing training on fear of childbirth (FOC), birth pain, birth satisfaction and birth outcomes. This randomized controlled trial study was conducted with 80 nulliparous pregnant who were divided into two groups (experimental group n = 40 and control n = 40) in a maternity hospital. The couples received the training in groups(4 weeks, once a week, 3-hour, group session). The mean score of hypnobirthing group for the whole Wijma Birth Expectancy/Experience Scale was significantly lower than that of the routine care group (p < .001).In the latent, active, and transitional phases of labor, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS)scores of the experimental groups were found to be significantly lower than those of the control group (p < .001).The experimental group's rates of birth intervention were significantly lower and their deliveries period were shorter, than those that of the routine control group (p < .001).In addition, the vaginal delivery rates (p = .037)and the scores for the Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R) were also found to be higher than those of the control group (p < .001).

    Evaluation of breastfeeding success and self-efficacy in mothers giving birth via vaginal delivery or cesarean section: A cross-sectional study
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022-11-21) Buran, Gonca; BURAN, GONCA; ÖZYAZICIOĞLU, NURCAN; Atak, Meryem; ATAK, MERYEM; Aydın, Ayla İrem; AYDIN, AYLA İREM; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/Hemşirelik Bölümü.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-9082-553X; 0000-0001-9645-7221; AAH-6269-2021; AAE-2648-2019
    This cross-sectional observational study was conducted to compare breastfeeding success and breastfeeding self-efficacy levels of mothers who gave birth via vaginal delivery (spontaneous or via epidural analgesia) or cesarean section (under general or spinal anesthesia). The study was conducted between September 2019 and February 2020 in the obstetric clinic. Data were collected using a Data Collection Form, the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF), and the LATCH Breastfeeding Evaluation Tool. Throughout the study, we followed the STROBE Checklist. Mothers who gave birth via spontaneous vaginal delivery had a statistically higher mean Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy score (54.92 +/- 7.72; p < .001) than those who gave birth under spinal anesthesia (43.21 +/- 10.04; p < .001) and then those who gave birth via cesarean section under general anesthesia (37.39 +/- 10.64; p < .001). The difference between the delivery modes in terms of breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding success scores was statistically significant (respectively, KW = 40.168, p < .001 and KW = 52.420, p < .001). In order to increase the breastfeeding success of mothers who give birth via cesarean section under general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia, lactation nurses need to strengthen the perception of breastfeeding self-efficacy and provide more breastfeeding support to them compared to mothers who give birth via SVD.
