Resilience is defined as generating coping strategies for the problems and situations that individuals face throughout their lives and developing these strategies in each new situation. While some individuals become helpless in the face of difficulties and give up the struggle, other individuals recover quickly in the face of difficulties and use coping methods well. Accordingly, these individuals have higher levels of crisis management and coping with stress.
Our aim in the study is; Comparison of blood flow restrictive exercises and isokinetic exercises in female football players. 30 female football players between the ages of 18-30 who came to DOIT Health & Sports clinic to receive rehabilitation will be included in the study. Participants will be randomized into 2 groups. Resistant exercise with blood flow restrictive exercise (BFR-RE) will be applied to one group, and resistant exercise with isokinetic device (ID-RE) will be applied to the other group. An 8-week exercise protocol will be created for both groups and exercise training will be given twice a week. Demographic data form, Kineo Intelligent Load Isokinetic Device to measure muscle strength, tape measure to measure circumference, universal goniometer for joint range of motion, Illinois Agility Test for agility and quality of life; World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale-Short Form Turkish Version will be administered before exercise, at the 4th week and at the 8th week. The effectiveness of the applications for female football players and their advantages over each other will be examined. The 4-week and 8-week effects of 2 types of exercise will be examined.
It is to examine the effect of virtual reality and ice application on the pain level due to femoral sheath extraction.
Together with individual predisposition to form vascular clots and clinical conditions that further increase this risk, venous thromboembolism (VTE) poses a significant additional morbidity and mortality risk for the majority of the world's population. Although VTE causes serious disability and death when undiagnosed, it is a medical condition that can be prevented when diagnosed early. Although all hospitalized patients are at risk of DVT, studies have shown that 75% of hospitalized patients are hospitalized in internal clinics.As a result of this observational study, it was aimed to determine the VTE risk levels of the patients from the time of hospitalization and to determine preventive nursing care for VTE.
This clinical study aims to examine the effectiveness of a 12-week modified ketogenic diet (MKD) intervention, especially on cognitive functions, in individuals diagnosed with amnestic-mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and to compare the effects of control groups (passive or active). Accordingly, a sample of 36 older adults aged 65-80 years diagnosed with aMCI will be randomized into 3 different groups: passive control (without any intervention), active control (MIND: Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay diet) or intervention (MKD). They will be monitored according to targeted criteria throughout the 12-week study protocol. The main questions this study aims to answer are: - Does a 12-week MKD intervention improve cognitive functions in aMCI? - Does the effectiveness of the 12-week MKD intervention in aMCI (i.e., in terms of cognitive function, physical and functional measures, or metabolic/inflammatory biomarkers) differ from control groups? Expected from participants during the study protocol: - Participants assigned to the passive control arm are expected to come to the research center at the beginning (week 0) and end (week 12) of the protocol and participate in evaluations. - Participants assigned to the active control (MIND diet) or intervention (MKD) arm are expected to adhere to assigned dietary therapy, keep a weekly food diary, and have weekly phone calls or online meetings with the dietitian to follow up on the diet. These participants assigned to the diet groups are expected to come to the research center at weeks 0, 4, 8, and 12 to participate in the evaluations.
Background: Rapid developments in the field of artificial intelligence have begun to necessitate changes and transformations in nursing education. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of an artificial intelligence-supported case created in the in-class case analysis lecture for nursing students on students' case management performance and satisfaction. Design: This study was a randomized controlled trial. Method: The study involved 188 third-year nursing students who were randomly assigned to either the AI group (n=94) and control group (n=94). An information form, case evaluation form, knowledge test, and Mentimeter application were used to assess the students' case management performance and nursing diagnoses. The level of satisfaction with the case analysis lecture was evaluated using the VAS scale.
This observational prospective double-blind study aims to compare the analgesic effectiveness of the pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) group and the suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block(SFICB) group to be applied to relieve postoperative pain in participants over the age of 18 who will be treated under spinal anesthesia with intertrochanteric femur fracture. The main question it aims to answer is: * Demonstration of whether PENG block or SFICB is more effective for postoperative analgesia in patients who have undergone intertrochanteric femur fracture surgery, based on pain scores, opioid consumption and patient satisfaction. ıntertrochanteric femur fractures cause severe pain with movement. Postoperatively, participants' movements are severely restricted, increasing the likelihood of complications. In this study, participants' pain status, VAS score, opioid consumption through patient-controlled analgesia, and satisfaction will be measured with a survey at the end of the 24th hour.
It is aimed to compare dental plaque area measured on images obtained in the clinic by using dental photography and intraoral scanner and to evaluate the correlation of this area with clinical plaque scores. Clinical dental plaque scoring was measured according to the "Turesky Modified Quigley Hein Plaque Index" after applying a plaque staining agent (Tri Plaque ID Gel, GC Corp., Tokyo, Japan) to evaluate the oral hygiene of 20 patients who applied to the university clinic. Following clinical scoring, intraoral photographs of the patients were taken using dental photography equipment of the same standards (EOS700D, Canon; 100mm lens, Canon; twin flash, Yong Nuo) and scan images were taken with an intraoral scanner (iTero Element Flex, Align Tech., USA). In the data obtained, dental plaque area on the buccal surface of 66 lower and upper jaw anterior teeth were measured with Image J (National Institute for Health, Bethesda, USA) software, and the ratio of dental plaque area to the visible surface area of the tooth was measured.
Breastfeeding is the safest and healthiest method of feeding an infant and positively affects the health of both the mother and the baby in the short and long term. Breastfeeding self-efficacy refers to the mother's perceived ability and self-confidence to breastfeed her baby.
