The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of rocuronium and sugammadex on progesterone (P4) levels in pregnant rabbits under general anesthesia. Twenty-one pregnant New Zealand rabbits were used in the study. After the rabbits were divided into three groups of three (Control, Group I and Group II), each animal was given 0.5 mg/kg midazolam and 6 mg/kg propofol and then put under general anesthesia with sevoflurane on the 21 st day of pregnancy. No procedure was performed on the control group apart from anesthesia. Rocuronium was administered to GI at the onset of anesthesia, and in GII, sugammadex was administered 60 min after general anesthesia + rocuronium. All of the rabbits were monitored during the anesthesia procedure. A sample of venous blood was taken and biochemically analyzed to test P4 levels. The administration of rocuronium was determined to have caused an increase in the serum progesterone level in all recorded min. Sugammadex was found to cause a quantitative decrease in the level of progesterone. In conclusion, it was found out that rocuronium and sugammadex administration did not have a negative effect on progesterone levels in pregnant rabbits receiving general anesthesia.

AIM The aim of this study was to determine the experiences and views of married women about the topic of domestic violence. METHODS This research was planned as a mixed methods study with an in-depth interview and descriptive approach. The study was conducted between November 2011 and December 2012 with 24 married women living in Ankara, Turkey. Two main data-collection tools were used in the study: the "Personal Information Form" and the "In-depth Interview Questionnaire." Data of this study were evaluated by content analysis. RESULTS A majority of the participants (83.3%) stated that they had been exposed to domestic violence that had been committed primarily by their husbands. The actual reasons for the violence were reported to be such factors as "financial problems and lack of education and love and respect between the couples." It was determined that as the victims became more desperate, they turned to reading of the Koran, prayer, and smoking. CONCLUSION Domestic violence adversely affects the physical and mental health of individuals, families, and the entire community. Therefore, it will take a community effort to address the causes of domestic violence and to create viable solutions that will improve the health of everyone.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the effect of anxiety and depression scores of couples who underwent Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART) on pregnancy outcomes. METHOD This study was conducted as a prospective and comparative study with 217 couples. The study data was collected by using a semi-structured questionnaire and the Turkish version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The questionnaire, STAI and BDI were applied to couples who initiated ART treatment. Couples' state anxiety scores were re-evaluated after embryo transfer (ET). RESULTS A significant relationship was found between the depression score of women and pregnancy outcome (p < 0.05). It was determined that anxiety scores for both men and women were higher before the ART procedure, but their anxiety scores decreased after ET (p < 0.05). Spouses of women with a negative pregnancy outcome had higher trait and state anxiety mean scores (p > 0.05) and lower depression scores (p <0.05) than spouses of women with a positive pregnancy outcome. CONCLUSION Study results indicated that the anxiety and depression scores of couples who had achieved a positive pregnancy result were lower than for couples with a negative result. The results of this study will contribute to the health professionals especially to the nurses who spend the most time with couples in providing consulting services and supporting psychological status of couples during ART process in Turkey.

BACKGROUND/AIM This study determined the effects of cotinine concentrations in follicular fluid (FF) and seminal plasma (SP) on the pregnancy outcome of couples using assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs). MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was conducted as a case-control study. A total of 217 couples were included in the study. Among these couples, there were nonsmokers (66 women and 40 men), passive smokers (106 women and 54 men), and active smokers (45 women and 123 men). Demographic and smoking data were collected by questionnaire at the onset of treatment. FF and SP samples were obtained from the couples on the day of oocyte retrieval. RESULTS The cotinine concentrations in the FF and SP of nonsmokers were significantly lower than they were in the other groups (P = 0.001). The difference in cotinine concentrations detected in FF between women with positive pregnancy test results and women with negative pregnancy test results was statistically insignificant. It was also determined that the percentage of clinical pregnancy was lower in nonsmoker women than in passive smoker or smoker women (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Although we found there was no significant difference in the pregnancy outcome between nonsmoker and passive smoker or smoker women, smoking cessation should be an integral part of ARTs.

Although the lactational amenorrhea method (LAM) is commonly used for contraception, it frequently fails and pregnancy ensues. This descriptive study was conducted to determine the status of the use of breastfeeding as a method of family planning and the influential factors that may have contributed to the success or failure of LAM. The research sample was comprised of 188 women with 6-month-old infants in eastern Turkey. A semistructured interview form was used for data collection in face-to-face meetings with the women during visits in their homes. In this study, 34% of the women used LAM to prevent pregnancy after childbirth. However, it was observed that only 17.2% of women using LAM fulfilled the LAM criteria with success, and 82.8% did not fulfill one or more of the LAM criteria. The pregnancy rate of women using this method was 32.8%. Two of the three basic criteria necessary for LAM to be effective were not met by the women: having menses (43.8%) and starting supplemental feeding (70.3%). Prenatal and postnatal counseling services need to be integrated and include information and education about the criteria that are necessary for LAM to be used effectively. These services should be given to women who choose to use LAM for contraception.
Identification of the problems and Anxiety levels of the women who had elective or therapeutic abortion

Journal of Perinatal Medicine, 2009
This study is descriptively carried out with the aim of identifying the problems and anxiety levels of the women who had elective or therapeutic abortion. The sample of the study consists of 200 women who applied to the Women's Hospital. The data is collected by using Questionnaire Form and Beck Anxiety Inventory. In the study, 79.0% of women who had elective abortion (EA) and 52.0% of women who had therapeutic abortion (TA) stated that they had difficulty during decision-making period for abortion. It has been detected that the major problem in this period was the fear for the procedure (85.3% (TA); 25.3% (EA)). It has been specified that the problems mainly faced after the abortion were the pain (25.5% (EA); 45.3% (TA)) and the sadness due to the loss of the baby. Beck anxiety average point's being fewer than 21 is evaluated as mild anxiety. In this study, it has been determined that both women who had elective abortion and those who had therapeutic abortion suffer from mild anxiety. It has been indicated that the pre-abortion anxiety point medians of women having had elective abortion or therapeutic abortion are higher than post-abortion anxiety point medians (p<0.05). Consequently, women having had abortion have problems such as fear and pain as they are not informed sufficiently for the procedure. Therefore, it is thought that nurses' providing women who would have abortion with information and consultancy service before, during and after the procedure will enable them to cope effectively with this process.
