Filter by:The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of lavender aromatherapy in reducing pre-operative anxiety in patients undergoing surgical procedures under spinal anesthesia. This was a prospective double blinded randomized controlled trial. After patient's approval, the anxiety level was assessed preoperativetively with Visual Analogue scale-anxiety and APAIS scale. To rule out any lavender sensitivity, all subjects were given a skin patch test. This was accomplished by applying a drop of lavender oil to the back of the hand and covering it with a Tegaderm dressing to prevent inhalation and spread of the oil. After randomisation and allocation, the investigators prooceeded with the intervention preoperatively. In the operating room, the acte under spinal anethesia was performed. Then we collect data postoperatively.
This study investigates the short-term effects of the MindEase app on anxiety levels.
Aim and objectives:The aim of this study is to examine the effect of foot massage on reducing pain and anxiety and increasing the comfort level in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Design:The study is a randomized controlled experimental study with a pretest posttest control group. Methods:This study will be carried out in Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University Training and Research Hospital General Surgery Clinic. Participants were divided into massage group and control group. Vital signs of the massage group will be taken 2 hours before the operation and Surgical Anxiety Scale will be applied to adult patients (n=40). At this stage, the patient's both feet will be massaged for a total of 20 minutes, 10 minutes each. Vital signs and anxiety status of the patients will be evaluated 30 minutes after the procedure. Postoperative vital signs, pain severity, anxiety and comfort level will be evaluated and after the evaluation, a foot massage will be applied to both feet of the patient for 10 minutes, for a total of 20 minutes. Vital signs and pain levels of the patients will be evaluated at the 5th, 30th, 60th, 90th and 120th minutes after the massage, and their comfort and anxiety levels will be evaluated at the 30th minute. The same data will be collected from patients in the control group (n=40) without foot massage. Data will be collected from Patient Descriptive Information Form, Vital Signs Follow-up Form, Surgical Anxiety Scale for Adult Patients, Perianesthesia Comfort Scale, Numerical Pain Scale.will be used.
A pre-post, single-group, quasi-experimental design will be used to determine the acceptability, feasibility, and appropriateness of a theory-based, 8-week/16-session virtual Tai Chi Easy (vTCE) intervention for adults with OUD, anxiety, and chronic pain. This dissertation has three Aims: 1) Determine the feasibility of an 8-week/16-session, vTCE intervention for adults with OUD, CP, and anxiety; 2) Determine the perceptions of the vTCE intervention participants by conducting a focus group interview post-vTCE; 3) Explore within-subject changes in generalized anxiety, chronic pain intensity, opioid use, opioid cravings, and basic psychological needs post-vTCE.
In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate the relationship between disease severity, quality of life, anxiety and pain level in patients diagnosed with Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) with the parameters according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 2016 diagnostic criteria. According to the 2016 ACR diagnostic criteria, there are 2 separate scales: Widespread Pain Index (WPI) and Symptom Severity (SS) . The relationship between these 2 parameters and the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, the World Health Organization Short Quality of Life Questionnaire, and the McGill Melzack Pain Questionnaire and Beck Anxiety Questionnaire will be examined.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two psychological treatments for Generalized Anxiety Disorder. The main questions it aims to answer are: How well do these treatments work compared to earlier studies? Is one of the treatments more effective than the other? Are the treatments working the way that we think they do? Specifically, do changes in the variables that these treatments aim to target predict changes in anxiety symptoms? Participants will be randomized to two different internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) programs: Intolerance of uncertainty-based ICBT and metacognition-based ICBT. Both programs consist of 8 treatment modules and run for 10 weeks. A psychologist will respond to the participants assignments and exercises and will respond to messages.
The word palliative comes from the Latin word "pallium" meaning "cover". The aim of palliative care is not to eliminate the cause of the disease; to alleviate the negative effects of the disease. Mandala painting, which is one of the non-pharmacological applications, is an art therapy technique that can provide psychological support and healing. Mandala painting is a safe and accessible activity that requires no special skills and can be used as a complementary strategy to support mental health. In the literature, it is stated that coloring mandala improves psychological symptoms and relieves the person. The artistic view of nursing is to understand the needs of the individual, the sources of anxiety, anxiety and stress, and then to develop practices that will increase his/her self-confidence and resilience by increasing his/her ability and competence level. Therefore, this study was planned to examine the effect of mandala painting applied to caregivers caring for palliative care patients on perceived stress, anxiety level and quality of life. This research, which is planned as a randomized experimental study with pretest-posttest control group, will be a study for informal caregivers who have patients in the palliative service of fethi sekin city hospital between May 2023 and December 2023. The sample will consist of 80 (40 experimental, 40 control) caregivers who accepted the research that met the research criteria. Experimental group will be composed of caregivers who will paint mandalas. In addition to verbal and written information, the Patient Description Form, Perceived Stress Scale (PSÖ), State-Trait Anxiety Scale (WHO) and Short Form (SF-36) Quality of Life Scale have been applied to the 1st Stage. measurement will be obtained. The program will be implemented for 4 weeks, 4 days a week. 16 pre-selected mandala drawings will be printed separately on A4 papers and a new drawing will be given to caregivers every week. Mandala coloring papers and 12 colored felt-tip crayons will be given to each participant by the researcher. After the end of the sessions, the second measurements will be obtained by applying the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), State-Trait Anxiety Scale (DSQ) and Short Form-36 (SF-36) Quality of Life Scale.
Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed and reliable surgeries among eye diseases. While cataract surgeries were performed under general or local anesthesia in previous years, they are now performed topically. Despite providing conscious sedation with agents such as benzodiazepines and opioids before and during surgery, patients experience pain, anxiety, and discomfort during the surgical procedure. One of the non-pharmacological methods used to relieve acute pain during surgical intervention is stress ball. It is also used to reduce pain and anxiety and increase patient comfort. The stress ball suppresses most of the nerves and muscles directly connected to the brain around the wrist and hand, stimulating nerve and muscle activity. This mechanism reduces the release of stress hormones, regulates blood pressure by providing relaxation and relief, and helps reduce anxiety and acute stress. When literature is examined, it is seen that stress ball application is effective on patients' pain, anxiety, and vital signs; however, no randomized controlled study has been found in which stress ball application was performed during cataract surgery. This study was planned to investigate the effect of stress ball application during cataract surgery on patients' anxiety, pain, and vital signs.
In this study, it was aimed to determine the anxiety levels and comfort levels of the patients using stress ball in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. This study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial. The universe of the study consisted of 156 patients receiving HD treatment at a special hemodialysis center. The study was completed with a total of 63 patients, including 31 people in the intervention group and 32 people in the control group, who met the criteria for inclusion in the study between 27.02.2023 and 27.03.2023. The individual demonstration form was used to collect data, the Visual Analog scale (VAS) for stress level and the hemodialysis comfort scale.
