This study aimed to determine participation in colorectal cancer screening programs and health beliefs related to protection from colorectal cancer among patients aged 40-70 years and evaluate factors affecting their participation in such screening programs. This descriptive study was conducted in a state hospital in Türkiye between May 2021 and December 2021 with the participation of 1,016 patients. Study data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a questionnaire consisting of an \"Introductory Information Form\" and the \"Health Belief Model Scale for Prevention of Colorectal Cancer.\" Signed voluntary consent was obtained from all participants, as well as ethics committee approval and institutional permission from the hospital. The mean age of the participants was 50.12 ± 9.29 years, 54% were 40-50 years old, 55.5% were female, 87.3% were married, 6.8% had a primary education or below, and 39.3% were employed. The internal consistency was low for the health motivation subscale and relatively high for other subscales of the Health Belief Model Scale for Prevention of Colorectal Cancer.</p>","PeriodicalId":12666,"journal":{"name":"Gastroenterology Nursing","volume":"48 1","pages":"39-50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143058778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study is based on semi-structured interviews with 17 patients who received elective laparoscopic hernia repair for a large paraesophageal hernia. The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis, resulting in three main themes: \"Experiences of health,\" \"Being unable to leave the disease behind,\" and \"Still feeling unwell\" and seven subthemes: \"Escaping suffering\"; \"Learning to interpret bodily signals\"; \"Looking to the future with confidence\"; \"Finding oneself in a vicious circle of worry\"; \"The fear of relapse as a constant companion\"; \"Lingering disabling symptoms,\" and \"New and frightening symptoms.\" Our study demonstrates large individual variations in the way patients experience their life and health after laparoscopic hernia repair. Central to the patients' descriptions is that simply feeling physically healthy is insufficient for achieving overall health. Health care personnel can benefit from learning about patients' experiences of health and suffering after surgery.</p>","PeriodicalId":12666,"journal":{"name":"Gastroenterology Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"447-454"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142072557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Applicable professional organizations have provided statements supporting NAPS by a trained and competent nurse under the direction of an appropriately credentialed proceduralist. Research demonstrates the safety of NAPS in comparison to procedural sedation provided by anesthesia personnel or administration of midazolam and fentanyl by a nurse. Research shows that patients, providers, and health care organizations can see procedural and financial benefit of implementing a NAPS program.

This randomized controlled experimental study was conducted with an intervention group ( n = 30) and a control group ( n = 31) in the nursing home of a government institution. A 15-minute abdominal massage was applied to the intervention group once a day, 5 days a week for 1 month. The control group received only routine treatment. The data were collected with a questionnaire, the Constipation Severity Instrument, the Visual Analogue Scale, the Bristol Stool Scale, and the defecation diary. It was determined that the Constipation Severity Instrument mean score, which was 40.6 ± 10.0 before the massage in the intervention group, decreased to 16.0 ± 11.6 after the application. The Visual Analogue Scale total score of the intervention and control groups, which was 40.2 ± 8.4 and 33.2 ± 5.9 before the massage, decreased to 18.7 ± 9.3 and 29.1 ± 6.58, respectively, at the end of the fourth week; the decrease was higher in the intervention group, and this difference between the groups was significant ( p < .05).
