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.
This research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental type to determine the effect of playing with a toy nebulizer and watching cartoons on children's fear and physiological parameters in 3-6 year old children who were administered inhaler medication. The population of the study, planned as a randomized controlled experimental study, will consist of 4-6 year old children who apply to Tarsus State Hospital pediatric services and receive inhaler treatment. According to the power analysis performed for the sample size, the power of the sample was calculated with the G*Power 3.1 program, in line with the literature (Durak 2019; Özsamuri 2020). While the amount of Type I error was 0.05 and the power of the test was 0.95 (α= 0.05, 1-β= 0.95), the minimal sample size was calculated as 105 children (35 children in each group). Considering the possible losses from the sample for any reason during the study period, it was planned to increase the number of samples by 10% and include 38 children in the study and control groups. Child Information Form, Fear Assessment Scale and Child Anxiety Scale-State Scale will be used to collect data.
The research will be conducted with children hospitalized in Tarsus State Hospital Children's Clinics and who meet the sampling criteria. The population of the study, which is planned as a randomized controlled experimental study, will consist of children aged 4-10 years old who are admitted to the pediatric surgery service of Tarsus State Hospital and will undergo outpatient surgical intervention. In collecting research data; the Introductory Information Form, Child Anxiety Scale, Child Fear Scale, Wong-Baker Pain Scale and Vital Signs Follow-up Form will be used.
The study will take place at SBÜ Ankara Atatürk Sanatorium Training and Research Hospital and will include 100 patients over the age of 40 who are scheduled for lung malignancy surgery after 01 April 2024. Informed consent will be obtained from all patients, who will be assigned a number from 1 to 100. For patients over 40 years of age who are scheduled to undergo lung malignancy resection surgery, demographic data including age, gender, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), diagnosis, comorbidities, and ASA (American Society of Anaesthesiologist) score will be recorded. In addition, hand grip strength measurement, pulmonary function test, and modified frailty index (a scoring system that includes 11 parameters) will be recorded prior to surgery. Intraoperative and postoperative complications will be documented. The duration of the patient's stay in the intensive care unit, chest tube removal, length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications will also be recorded. A follow-up call will be made to the patient by the responsible researcher 90 days after the operation to inquire about any complications that may have developed within that time frame. The study aims to investigate the relationship between preoperative hand grip strength measurement, pulmonary function test analysis (PFT), and modified frailty index with the duration of intensive care unit stay, chest tube withdrawal time, hospital stay, and postoperative complications in patients undergoing lung resection due to malignancy.
The research was planned to measure pain, ecchymosis, hematoma and patient satisfaction with ice massage applied to the fistula before the arteriovenous fistula procedure in hemodialysis patients. Patients who agree to participate in the study will be given ice massage before the procedure and the relevant parameters will be measured.
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Square Stepping Exercise and aerobic exercise on cognitive function and physical fitness in young adults. Participants aged 18-30 with low physical activity levels will be randomly assigned to either the Square Stepping Exercise Group or Aerobic Exercise Group. Both interventions will be supervised by a physiotherapist, performed twice a week for 40 minutes over 4 weeks. Cognitive function will be assessed using various tests, including attention, short-term memory, and executive function evaluations. Physical fitness will be evaluated through jump tests and balance assessments. Blinded assessors will conduct evaluations at baseline and post-intervention in both groups to determine the impact of square stepping exercise and aerobic exercise on cognitive and physical health in young adults.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of three different applications (Manual therapy, electrotherapy and home program) on long-term pain, joint range of motion and, secondarily, the functional level of the knee.
In our study, university students who coded the course from various faculties and departments within the scope of a university-wide free elective course, after regular physical activity; It was aimed to examine the effects on lifelong learning, physical activity, fatigue, sleepiness, depression, anxiety and stress levels, quality of life and walking distances and physiological expenditure indices.
Our aim in this study is to evaluate the effects of lymphedema on exercise capacity, body composition, functional level and quality of life in lymphedema patients with primary lower extremity involvement.
In the study, movement observation training, Modified Graded Motor Imaging Training, which includes upper extremity functional exercises, and Graded Motor Imaging Training, where the standard protocol is applied, will be used in stroke patients to improve their upper extremity motor functions and daily lives. It is aimed to present it on an evidence-based basis by investigating its effects on Daily Living Activity, quality of life, upper extremity-specific right/left lateralization performance, mental stopwatch performance and motor imagery skills.
Oxygen therapy is the most common treatment modality for patients with hypoxemia, but target values for normoxemia are not clearly defined. Therefore, iatrogenic hyperoxemia is a very common situation. Even though there are many side effects reported related to hyperoxemia and hyperoxemia is shown to be related to worse outcome than expected; clinicians still observe hyperoxemia frequently. Oxygen reserve index (ORi™) (Masimo Corp., Irvine, USA) can guide clinicians in detection of hyperoxia. ORi is a parameter which can evaluate partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) rating from 0 to 1. There are growing evidences in ORi that it might be helpful to reduce hyperoxia in general anesthesia. Continuous ORi monitoring can be used for detecting and preventing hyperoxia. The ability to perform FiO2 titration with ORi may be an appropriate monitoring management to prevent the harmful effects of hyperoxia.In this study, in patients who underwent major abdominal surgery; It was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of ORi-guided FiO2 titration in preventing hyperoxia.
