PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the relationships among body perception, life satisfaction, and attitude toward seeking psychological help in patients with a tracheostomy after discharge. METHODS The data were collected between November 2019 and January 2020. The sample consisted of 60 patients with a tracheostomy who agreed to participate in the study voluntarily, were discharged with a tracheostomy, and continued home care for at least 1 month (maximum 3 months) after discharge. Thirty-three (33) of these patients (55%) were older than 65 years of age, and 45 patients (75%) were female. The Sociodemographic Characteristics Form, the Body Cathexis Scale, the Satisfaction With Life Scale, and the Attitude Scale toward Seeking Psychological Help were used in data collection. Data were collected via face-to-face interviews between patients and researchers using paper-and-pencil questionnaires and were analyzed. Descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze the data; P < .05 was accepted as the level of significance. RESULTS The mean Body Cathexis Scale score of all 60 patients was 127.03 ± 29.02 (minimum 40; maximum 200), their mean score on the the Satisfaction With Life scale was 16.20 ± 6.55 (minimum 5; maximum 35), and the mean score on the Attitude Scale toward Seeking Psychological Help was 55.21 ± 12.19 (minimum 18; maximum 90). Statistically significant correlations were found between body perceptions and life satisfaction (r = 0.419, P <.001), body perceptions and attitude toward seeking psychological help (r = 0.530, P < .001), and life satisfaction and attitude toward seeking psychological help (r = 0.448, P < .001). CONCLUSION In this study, patients with a tracheostomy who had a good body perception and higher life satisfaction had a more positive attitude toward seeking psychological help. Additional studies are needed to confirm these results and explore the effects of correlations to improve the well-being of persons with a tracheostomy.

Methods: The study was carried out in the pediatric service of a maternity and children diseases hospital between October-November 2019. A total of 92 children (43 in the cartoon group and 49 in the control group) were included in the study. The results of the study were obtained using Socio-Demographic Characteristics Form, Children's State Anxiety Scale, and Children's Fear Scale. The children in the cartoon group watched their favourite cartoon during treatment. No distracting method was applied to the children in the control group during their routine treatment. Anxiety and fear levels in children in the cartoon and control groups were evaluated before and during intravenous treatment. Gender variable was compared using the Chi-square test; whereas age, anxiety and fear variables were compared using the independent sample t test between groups and paired sample t test within group. Significance was evaluated at the level of p< .05. Results: It was found that there was a statistically significant difference between anxiety mean scores of both groups during the IV treatment (p= .001). In all evaluations (children, parent and researcher), it was determined that mean scores of fear during the IV treatment were higher in children in the control group compared to children in the cartoon group (p= .001). Watching cartoon during IV treatment is effective on reducing anxiety and fear in children. Conclusion: Fear and anxiety levels in children can be reduced through watching cartoon during medical procedures. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04127097.

PURPOSE The purpose of this descriptive study was to determine health care practices and the burden on family caregivers for patients with a tracheostomy living at home. METHODS The research population included 50 caregivers (average age 55.60 ± 1.39 years; 25 [50%] female) who provided care to 50 patients (average age 63.50 ± 1.72 years; 35 [70%] male) who were discharged from the otorhinolaryngology clinic of an education and research hospital in Turkey. Patient and caregiver characteristic data and tracheostomy care practices were collected via face-to-face interviews between caregivers and researchers using paper-and-pencil questionnaires. The 18-item Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview also was completed; responses to statements are rated on a scale of 0-4, where 0 = never, 1 = rarely, 2 = sometimes, 3 = often, and 4 = almost always. Total scale scores range from 0 to 88; higher scores indicate greater burden. Data were transferred into a statistical analysis program. RESULTS The mean score for the Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale was 42.44 ± 1.93, inferring caregivers were moderately burdened. Caregiver burden scores were significantly higher among female caregivers, caregivers without health insurance, caregivers requiring help, caregivers with chronic illness, more daily care time (hours), and duration of total care (months). Patient burden scores were significantly higher among persons requiring provision of daily nebulization and oxygen therapy, external cannula cleaning, and daily patient care. CONCLUSION This study illuminates the burdens faced by lay/family caregivers of patients with a tracheostomy and identifies for community health clinicians the challenges, care requirements at home, and burden of family caregivers that must be addressed.

PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the relationships among body perception, life satisfaction, and attitude toward seeking psychological help in patients with a tracheostomy after discharge. METHODS The data were collected between November 2019 and January 2020. The sample consisted of 60 patients with a tracheostomy who agreed to participate in the study voluntarily, were discharged with a tracheostomy, and continued home care for at least 1 month (maximum 3 months) after discharge. Thirty-three (33) of these patients (55%) were older than 65 years of age, and 45 patients (75%) were female. The Sociodemographic Characteristics Form, the Body Cathexis Scale, the Satisfaction With Life Scale, and the Attitude Scale toward Seeking Psychological Help were used in data collection. Data were collected via face-to-face interviews between patients and researchers using paper-and-pencil questionnaires and were analyzed. Descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze the data; P < .05 was accepted as the level of significance. RESULTS The mean Body Cathexis Scale score of all 60 patients was 127.03 ± 29.02 (minimum 40; maximum 200), their mean score on the the Satisfaction With Life scale was 16.20 ± 6.55 (minimum 5; maximum 35), and the mean score on the Attitude Scale toward Seeking Psychological Help was 55.21 ± 12.19 (minimum 18; maximum 90). Statistically significant correlations were found between body perceptions and life satisfaction (r = 0.419, P <.001), body perceptions and attitude toward seeking psychological help (r = 0.530, P < .001), and life satisfaction and attitude toward seeking psychological help (r = 0.448, P < .001). CONCLUSION In this study, patients with a tracheostomy who had a good body perception and higher life satisfaction had a more positive attitude toward seeking psychological help. Additional studies are needed to confirm these results and explore the effects of correlations to improve the well-being of persons with a tracheostomy.

Methods: The study was carried out in the pediatric service of a maternity and children diseases hospital between October-November 2019. A total of 92 children (43 in the cartoon group and 49 in the control group) were included in the study. The results of the study were obtained using Socio-Demographic Characteristics Form, Children's State Anxiety Scale, and Children's Fear Scale. The children in the cartoon group watched their favourite cartoon during treatment. No distracting method was applied to the children in the control group during their routine treatment. Anxiety and fear levels in children in the cartoon and control groups were evaluated before and during intravenous treatment. Gender variable was compared using the Chi-square test; whereas age, anxiety and fear variables were compared using the independent sample t test between groups and paired sample t test within group. Significance was evaluated at the level of p< .05. Results: It was found that there was a statistically significant difference between anxiety mean scores of both groups during the IV treatment (p= .001). In all evaluations (children, parent and researcher), it was determined that mean scores of fear during the IV treatment were higher in children in the control group compared to children in the cartoon group (p= .001). Watching cartoon during IV treatment is effective on reducing anxiety and fear in children. Conclusion: Fear and anxiety levels in children can be reduced through watching cartoon during medical procedures. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04127097.

PURPOSE The purpose of this descriptive study was to determine health care practices and the burden on family caregivers for patients with a tracheostomy living at home. METHODS The research population included 50 caregivers (average age 55.60 ± 1.39 years; 25 [50%] female) who provided care to 50 patients (average age 63.50 ± 1.72 years; 35 [70%] male) who were discharged from the otorhinolaryngology clinic of an education and research hospital in Turkey. Patient and caregiver characteristic data and tracheostomy care practices were collected via face-to-face interviews between caregivers and researchers using paper-and-pencil questionnaires. The 18-item Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview also was completed; responses to statements are rated on a scale of 0-4, where 0 = never, 1 = rarely, 2 = sometimes, 3 = often, and 4 = almost always. Total scale scores range from 0 to 88; higher scores indicate greater burden. Data were transferred into a statistical analysis program. RESULTS The mean score for the Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale was 42.44 ± 1.93, inferring caregivers were moderately burdened. Caregiver burden scores were significantly higher among female caregivers, caregivers without health insurance, caregivers requiring help, caregivers with chronic illness, more daily care time (hours), and duration of total care (months). Patient burden scores were significantly higher among persons requiring provision of daily nebulization and oxygen therapy, external cannula cleaning, and daily patient care. CONCLUSION This study illuminates the burdens faced by lay/family caregivers of patients with a tracheostomy and identifies for community health clinicians the challenges, care requirements at home, and burden of family caregivers that must be addressed.
