Attitude, Knowledge and Donor Card Volunteering of Nursing Students Regarding Organ Donation
Objective:To shed light on the educational curriculum and determining the organ donation attitude, knowledge and donor card willingness of students who study nursing.Methods:This study is a descriptive and cross sectional. The study is a descriptive cross-sectional design. The research was carried out on 203 students studying in the nursing department of a private university. The data were collected with Organ Donation Attitude and Knowledge Scales, which were validated and reliable in Turkey. The significance value was accepted as p<0.05.Results:The students’ organ donation knowledge (9.95±2.14) and donor card volunteer scores (mean ± standard deviation) (2.94±0.89) were low. Although the students- organ donation positive attitude scores were 106.75±13.21, the rate of supporting being a cadaver donor was 73.8%. 91.6% of the students did not intend to donate their organs after death. The semester they study, place they live and the education level of their parents did not seem to have a significant effect on the point average of organ donation knowledge, attitude and donor card willingness (p>0.05).Conclusions:It can be stated that lack of knowledge had more effect on students’ fear on attitude points rather than religion. Planned training on subjects such as brain death and the grieving process in undergraduate education may affect the motivation of students about organ donation.
What is A Care Bundle?
The care bundle is an explicit tool with clear parameters. A care bundle usually consists of a group of between three and five evidence-based interventions. Institute for Healthcare Improvement developed the concept of -bundles- to help health care providers more reliably deliver the best possible care for patients undergoing treatments with risks. It is mostly used by intensive care units. Interventions of care bundle are related to a particular condition or event in patient care. Interventions of care bundle are all necessary and all sufficient. The power of the care bundle comes from the body of science behind it and the method of implementation: with complete consistency. The changes in the care bundle are all necessary and all sufficient. It resembles a checklist, but a bundle is more than that. The care bundle has specific elements that make it unique: such as number of items, the level of evidence items (level I or II), liability levels (an identified person or team owns it). There are three problems seen on the use of care bundle: don-t complete the care bundle as a whole, attempt addition to an enhanced care bundle, tendency to want to call everything a bundle. Finally, it is important that the care bundle is done as a whole for the expected outcomes.

Prevalence of Pressure Injuries and Risk Factors in Long-Term Surgical Procedures
Objective: To determine the risk factors and prevalence associated with intraoperative pressure injury (IPI) in surgical procedures lasting more than two hours, and to draw attention of surgical nurses to the prevention of IPI. Methods: This cross-descriptive study included 170 patients in whom major surgical procedures were planned in a private foundation university hospital's orthopedics and general surgery departments between February 2017 and May 2018. The study was approved by the ethics committee and informed written permission was obtained from the institutions and volunteers. Data were collected by using Braden Risk Assessment Tool (BRAT) and literature based patient diagnosis form. Results: The mean age of the participants was 47.72 +/- 22.20 years, 55.9% were female and 44.1% were male. Of the participants, 81.8% underwent surgery in the supine position, with a mean surgery duration of 246.707 +/- 145.3 minutes. Of the patients 24.1% developed stage 1 IPI. Forty-one (24.2%) patients with pressure injury had a lower BRAT score (18.434 +/- 6.621) than 129 (75.8%) patients without pressure injury (20.243 +/- 3.954), (p=0.035). According to multivariate analysis, both preoperative additional nutritional requirement and low albumin level increased the risk of IPI by 2.4 fold (p=0.038; 0.043, respectively). Each one hour of prolongation in duration of surgery increased the risk of IPI by 1.007 times (p=0.002). Conclusion: The risk of development of IPI is high in major surgical procedures. In determining the risk of IPI, the patient's nutritional deficiency, low albumin level, length of duration of surgery and BRAT score arc important.
