Filter by:The SMART app is a mobile application based psychosocial parenting intervention containing educational materials (articles, videos, audios, podcasts) on parenting, an integrated peer support chat function with experienced mothers and an integrated forum for interaction with other mother participants. The goal of this interventional study is to test the effectiveness of a mobile-app health based intervention, SMART, mothers in the perinatal period. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. What is the effect of a mobile-based health intervention, SMART, on maternal outcomes? 2. What is the effect of a mobile-based health intervention, SMART, on infant outcomes? 3. What is the cost-effectiveness of using SMART as compared to standard routine care? Researchers will compare results with a control group that will undergo standard routine care.
The aim of this research would be to determine the efficacy and effects of preoxygenation when performed by the patient (mask held by the patient). This is the concept of "self-preoxygenation".
The goal of this study is to assess if excessive use of smartphone apps of social media can impact a person's mental health. The study is aimed at improving the usage of smartphones which might help improve the mental health of patients. The goal is not to discourage the use of smartphones but instead to utilize smartphones in a way that they do not impact lives.
Aim: This study was conducted to determine the efficacy of finger puppets, distraction cards and kaleidoscope for reducing anxiety in children undergoing day surgery. Methods: The study was conducted using the "pre-post test unmatched group model", one of the quasi-experimental methods. The study was conducted between April 2023 and January 2024 with children aged 6-12 years who were admitted to the pediatric clinic of a hospital for day surgery. A total of 85 children (including 20 children in the control group, 22 children in the finger puppet intervention group, 21 children in the distraction cards intervention group, and 22 children in the kaleidoscope intervention group) who were hospitalized in the pediatric clinic between April 2023 and January 2024 and who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Descriptive statistics, Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis and regression analysis were used in the evaluation of the data.
It is known that posture is affected by various factors such as somatosensation, visual perception and cognition. In addition, it is also thought to affect conditions such as stress and anxiety through receptors. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between postural changes such as thoracic kyphosis, musculoskeletal problems, trunk position sense and anxiety in young individuals who were asymptomatic in terms of musculoskeletal problems.
This study tests a suite of single-session intervention (SSI) targeting risk factors for depression and eating disorders among adolescents and young adults. Youth ages 13-25 who screen positive for depression or anxiety as a part of routine care will be offered one of three digital SSIs. Participants will complete questionnaires before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and 3-months after completing the intervention so that the study team can investigate if Project YES leads to reductions in depression, anxiety and eating disorder symptoms.
The goal of this clinical trial is to measure the effects of Group Cognitive Evolutionary Therapy on mental health, especially on depressive symptoms and anxiety. Participants will be allocated in one of two conditions: (1) Group Cognitive Evolutionary Therapy (intervention) or (2) Waitlist. The intervention will consist of two 8-hour sessions of Group Cognitive Therapy, in two consecutive days. The Group Cognitive Evolutionary Therapy group will be compared to the waitlist group to test the efficacy of the intervention.
It is an experimental study conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of cold application to the LI4 point of the hand to reduce/eliminate pain, nausea and anxiety in postoperative patients. The population of the study consisted of 116 individuals who underwent abdominal surgery with the open surgery method in a state hospital between February 2022 and November 2022 and were followed up in the inpatient ward. The study was completed with 80 individuals constituting the experimental group (n=40) and the control group (n=40). Patient information form, Mcgill Melzack short pain form, Visual Analog Scale, STAI - TX and Cold Application Evaluation Form were used to collect data. Patients in the experimental group underwent cold application with ice cubes for a total of 20 minutes as 2 minutes of cold application and 15 seconds of waiting 4-6 hours after the patient was admitted to the clinic after surgical intervention. Follow-up was performed before cold application, immediately after cold application, 30 minutes after the end of cold application, 1 hour and 2 hours after the end of cold application.
Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABC) is a commonly performed surgical procedure for the treatment of blockages in the heart vessels. This surgical intervention aims to improve the blood circulation of the patients' heart muscle. However, after CABC, patients may experience symptoms arising from the effect of the operation. These symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, sleep problems and a general feeling of restlessness. These symptoms occur as a result of the operation and can limit patients' daily activities, negatively affect their quality of life, and make the rehabilitation process difficult. Diaphragmatic breathing exercise can be an effective strategy for managing symptoms after CABC. This exercise involves deep and controlled breathing and aims to strengthen respiratory muscles, increase lung capacity and improve respiratory efficiency. Diaphragmatic breathing exercise helps breathing occur more efficiently by reducing the movement of the chest wall and can reduce patients' breathing difficulties. Diaphragmatic breathing exercise provides relaxation in the body by calming the sympathetic nervous system and can reduce stress during the sleep process. In this way, patients can experience a deeper and more restful sleep and feel more energetic when they wake up. At the same time, diaphragmatic breathing exercise improves mental state and reduces the effects of stress by providing focus and mental relaxation. This thesis study aims to investigate the effect of diaphragmatic breathing exercise applied to patients undergoing CABC on symptom severity, sleep quality and anxiety. The importance of this study is that it has great potential for managing symptoms after CABC and improving patients' quality of life. Diaphragmatic breathing exercise is expected to be effective in reducing symptoms after CABC, allowing patients to improve their respiratory functions and general health status. Additionally, investigating the effects of this exercise on patients' sleep quality and anxiety may help nurses adopt a more holistic approach in healthcare delivery.
This study investigates whether television viewing or music listening can reduce pre-operative anxiety and improve surgical outcomes for patients undergoing cataract surgery. It aims to determine the effectiveness of these interventions compared to a control group and assess their impact on physiological markers of anxiety as well as the incidence of intra-operative hypertensive events. The key questions that are to be answered are: 1. Does watching television before cataract surgery decrease intraoperative hypertensive events and/or pre-operative anxiety in patients? 2. Does listening to music before cataract surgery decrease intraoperative hypertensive events and/or pre-operative anxiety in patients?
