There are about 15072 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Turkey. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
In the web-based cross-sectional study 180 participants were included. Half of them (n = 90) were patients (laypeople) of the university clinic and the remaining half were restorative dentists and prosthodontists with similar levels of clinical experience (at least 3 years of academic training). A frontal view full-face portrait image of a 25-year-old female was selected as a model for the study, with a smile exhibiting good dental alignment, a quite good midline position, and tooth size symmetry. The original image was digitally modified by a single restorative instructor using Photoshop CC (Adobe, USA) software program. The modifications were divided into three parts. The first part was the generation of midline discrepancy at different levels. The midline was digitally moved to the right side of the patient 1 - 4 millimeters, gradually. The midline movement was performed together with the whole maxillary arch. The second part was the generation of individual crown width disproportions. Accordingly, the mesiodistal width of the left central, lateral, and canine was digitally decreased one by one, gradually, while the width of the symmetrical teeth on the right side was simultaneously increased. The third part was the generation of distributed crown width disproportions. Accordingly, the total mesiodistal width of the left central, lateral, and canine was equally decreased, gradually, while the total width of the symmetrical teeth on the right side was simultaneously increased. In total, 15 images were displayed in random order to the participants including the original image. An online survey was generated to quantitatively evaluate the level of esthetic perception. Subsequently, the participants were asked to evaluate the level of smile esthetics of the presented random images, without being informed about the digital manipulations of the images. The participants were even not informed about the original image. They were expected to answer the question "How esthetic do you consider this smile?" The evaluation of each image was performed via a Visual analog scale VAS, ranging from point 0 (extremely not esthetic) to point 100 (extremely esthetic).
This study was administered to 22 female and 8 male patients. Patients with impacted wisdom teeth on both sides of the mandible were selected. After impacted tooth extraction, the patient used mefenamic acid on one side and dexketoprofen on the other side for postoperative pain relief. The effects of these two materials on patient comfort were investigated.
The aim of the study is to determine the effect of first aid training for injuries given to secondary school students through serious game simulation and comic books on knowledge, skills and motivation. Hypotheses: H1: First aid training given through simulation applications affects the level of knowledge. H2: First aid training given through simulation applications affects the skill level. H3: First aid training given with simulation application affects motivation. H4: First aid training given with comics affects the level of knowledge. H5: First aid training given with comic books affects the skill level. H6: First aid training given with comics affects motivation. METHOD: The research will be conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with children studying in the 5th and 6th grades of schools in the central district of Aksaray. One group will be given first aid training for injuries prepared with serious games, the other group will be given first aid training for injuries prepared with comic books. No intervention will be made to the control group. Serious game scenario software prepared based on the literature will be integrated into the computer. Appropriate statistics will be made after the research by applying the prepared data collection tools. With this research, the gap in the literature will be filled, children's first aid knowledge and skills in injuries will be increased, and school health nurses will be provided with up-to-date teaching material.
This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of pelvic floor muscle exercises during pregnancy on sexual function, lower urinary tract symptoms and birth process. The research was conducted with pregnant women who applied to the Pregnancy Outpatient Clinic of Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa Cerrahpasa Faculty of Medicine Hospital. Power analysis was performed to determine the number of samples to be included in the study. It was determined that 29 pregnant women should be included in each group (experimental and control). Considering the possibility of data loss, 50 pregnant women were included in each group. As a result of the exclusion of 8 women who withdrew from participating in the study, 5 women due to risky pregnancies (bleeding, preeclampsia and gestational diabetes) and 17 women due to cesarean delivery, the data of 35 pregnant women in the experimental group and 35 pregnant women in the control group were obtained. Pregnant women in the experimental group were gestational aged 18-20. Two sessions of training were given on female reproductive and urinary system anatomy, physiological changes during pregnancy and their effects on sexual life, and pelvic floor muscle exercises, using the "Pelvic Floor Health & Sexual Life Training Booklet during Pregnancy" and the pelvic floor muscle exercise training video developed by the researcher between the weeks of pregnancy. Pregnant women were asked to perform pelvic floor muscle exercises, 3 sets a day, 3 days a week, for 12 weeks, starting from the 20th week of pregnancy, and record them in the Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercise Follow-up Form created by the researcher. Pregnant women in the control group were not given any training and were routinely monitored in the outpatient clinic. Pregnant women who apply to the outpatient clinic are examined by nurses, with their vital signs taken and anamnesis taken by the physician. Recommendations are made regarding the complaints of pregnant women. Non-stress tests are routinely applied to pregnant women who are at the 36th week of pregnancy and above.
In this study, the investigators will evaluate the advanced airway methods applied in the anesthesiology and reanimation clinic of the hospital to patients who met the criteria for awake intubation specified in the ASA 2022 difficult airway management guideline or who could not be intubated after induction of anesthesia in another center. The advanced airway method applied to the difficult airway patient expected in the operating room, the duration, success and complications of the method will be observed and recorded.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of the stabilization exercise program applied after cervical laminoplasty surgery compared to standard exercise on pain, dysfunction, normal joint movement, proprioception, balance, muscle endurance, postural alignment and related factors (kinesiophobia, awareness, quality of life, disability, physical activity level). The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Does the exercise program applied after cervical laminoplasty surgery have an effect on pain, dysfunction, normal joint movement, proprioception, balance, muscle endurance, postural alignment and related factors (kinesiophobia, awareness, quality of life, disability, physical activity level)? - Does the stabilization exercise program applied after cervical laminoplasty surgery have an effect on pain, dysfunction, normal joint movement, proprioception, balance, muscle endurance, postural alignment and related factors (kinesiophobia, awareness, quality of life, disability, physical activity level)? Patients will start their first exercise session on the day they will be discharged from the hospital. Patients in both exercise groups will be provided with cervical normal joint movement (ROM), posture and patient education on the day of discharge. They will be asked to do posture exercises and neck exercises under the guidance of a physiotherapist. Patients in the stabilization exercise group (experiment) will undergo stabilization exercises under the supervision of a physiotherapist, in addition to the practices in the standard exercise group. Both groups will do a warm-up program before exercise and a cool-down program afterwards. Patients will be asked to do the exercises face to face with a physiotherapist 3 days a week. The first evaluations will be made on the day they come to the outpatient clinic for examination before surgery. Post-surgical evaluations will be made routinely after the exercise program is completed, when they are called by the physician for a check-up (6th week). Researchers will compare the standard exercise group with the stabilization exercise group to see if pain, dysfunction, normal joint movement, proprioception, balance, muscular endurance, postural alignment and related factors (kinesiophobia, awareness, quality of life, disability, physical activity level) are different.
It can cause physiological and behavioral changes in infants such as pain, tachycardia, hypoxemia, increased blood pressure, grimacing, prolonged crying, and irritability. Vaccination is an important part of neonatal nursing care. Newborns express their pain nonverbally and behaviorally. Therefore, any pain assessment is based on the ability of others to recognize pain symptoms. This randomized controlled trial was planned to evaluate the effect of heart sound and white noise on pain and physiological parameters during intramuscular injection of hepatitis B vaccine in newborns. This randomized controlled study used parallel trial design.
Aim: This study was planned to determine the effect of therapeutic touch applied to nursing students on test anxiety. Method: Students who met the inclusion criteria were divided into therapeutic touch and control groups using the randomization method. After the groups were determined, the students filled out the Introductory Information Form and the State Exam Anxiety Scale. 30 minutes before the exam, therapeutic touch was applied to each of the students, who were divided into groups, for 20 minutes. No application was made to the control group, and they were told to wait in the classroom where the group was waiting as they wished.Immediately after the application was completed, the scale was re-applied to both groups.
According to the most up-to-date knowledge, there is no Turkish comprehensive and validated instrument to assess stroke survivors' unmet needs in the longer term. So, this study aims to translate and adapt the LUNS into Turkish and examine its psychometric properties in survivors living at home after a stroke. Our hypothesis in this study is: - The Turkish Longer-term Unmet Needs after Stroke Questionnaire (T-LUNS) is a valid tool for assessing the unmet needs of stroke patients in the Turkish population.
For the evaluation of the lower urinary tract after laparoscopic hysterectomy, routine standard saline cystoscopy and carbon dioxide cystoscopy will be compared.
