    (Univ Chile, Centro Interdisciplinario Estudios Bioetica, 2014) Ertug, Nurcan; Aktas, Demet; Faydali, Saide; Yalcin, Osman
    The purpose of the study is to determine the level of ethical sensitivity and related factors of nurses working in the hospital settings. This descriptive study was conducted at a public hospital and a university hospital in Ankara, Turkey between April-July 2012. A total of 111 nurses participated in the study. The data were collected using a data collection tool consisting of two parts. The first part consisted of questions that determined the nurses' personal and socio-demographic characteristics. The second part comprised of Byrd's Nurses Ethical Sensitivity Test. The data were evaluated by using frequency, percentage, t-test and one-way ANOVA. Of the 111 nurses, 39,7% had a work experience of 1-3 years, 51,4% was married and 38,7% did not have ethics education. Education levels of most of the nurses (62,2%) were bachelor's degree. The mean ethical sensitivity score of nurses was 21,12 +/- 2,85. It was determined that ethical sensitivity of nurses was found to be higher in those that had ethics education, older age group, and had bachelor's degree than others (p< 0,05). The mean ethical sensitivity score of nurses was of medium level. It is concluded that ethical sensitivity was influenced by ethics education, age groups, and educational background.

    The effect of clothes on blood pressure measurement
    (Professional Medical Publications, 2017) Ertug, Nurcan; Cakal, Tugba; Ozturk, Syeda Busra; Verim, Muhammet
    Objective: To determine the effect of clothes on blood pressure measurement. Methods: One group pretest-posttest design was used in this study. The study consisted of 162 undergraduate students studying nursing and physiotherapy at a university in Ankara, Turkey. Blood pressure was measured over the sleeve and below a rolled-up sleeve with a mercury-filled column sphygmomanometer. All blood pressure measurements were performed on the right arm during morning hours by the same nurse. Each participant's height, weight and clothing thickness were measured. Results: The mean age of the participants was 20.71. The median systolic blood pressure values were 110.07 mmHg over the sleeve and 110.37 mmHg below the rolled-up sleeve. There were no statistically significant differences between measurements taken over the sleeve and below a rolled-up sleeve (p=0.222). The median diastolic blood pressure values were 69.56 mmHg over the sleeve and 69.59 mmHg below the rolled-up sleeve. There were no statistically significant differences between measurements taken over the sleeve and below a rolled-up sleeve (p=0.572). Conclusion: It was found that clothes have no statistically significant effect on systolic/diastolic blood pressure measurements. Measuring blood pressure over a sleeve may save time.
