Diabetes is a broad-spectrum metabolic disorder that causes a defect in the organism's carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism processes due to insulin deficiency or impaired insulin effect. Diabetes requires continuous medical care and causes chronic, severe mortality and morbidity. More than 90% of all people with diabetes worldwide suffer from Type 2 DM. Diabetes self-management includes self-monitoring of blood glucose levels, knowing and managing the symptoms of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, adherence to diet, physical exercise, and diabetic foot care. Considering the high prevalent and undesirable consequences of diabetes in the world, it is necessary to benefit from new educational technologies and tools. One of these technologies is gamification, which increases the quality of education as an effective educational tool, creates motivation and enthusiasm, and develops a sense of competition in the target audience. This study plans to develop a game that will include virtual coaching to increase the self-management and glycemic control of patients with type 2 diabetes.
The aim of the study is to determine the effect of peer education on stem cell donation in nursing students on their knowledge and attitudes towards being a stem cell donor. This study is a randomized-controlled experimental design study. The dependent variable of the study is the knowledge and attitudes of nursing students towards being a stem cell donor. The independent variable is peer education on stem cell donation. The research will be carried out with nursing students studying at the Nursing Department of a university located in Istanbul. The universe of the research will be all students (N= 320) studying in the Department of Nursing in the 2022-2023 academic year. The sample of the research will consist of our friends from the nursing department who volunteered to participate in the research. In the power analysis to calculate the sample size, the sample size of the study was calculated as at least 88 for each group, with an effect size of 0.50, a margin of error of 5%, and a power of 95%. However, it was aimed to reach 100 students for each group, in case the participants were withdrawn from the study during the research and education process and the sample size could not be reached. Introductory Information Form and Stem Cell Transplant Information Form will be used to collect data. The data in the research will be collected in two stages. In the first stage, peer educators will be trained and evaluated by our consultant, who is a project internal medicine nursing specialist. In the second stage, peer educators will train and evaluate peer students. After our students studying in the nursing department who meet the sampling criteria are informed about the study, informed consent forms will be signed by face-to-face interview. Peer students will be randomly assigned to the intervention (100 people) and control (100 people) groups according to the randomization list prepared in advance. Peer educators will train nursing students in the intervention group with the peer education model. No application will be made to the control group. Pre-test data will be obtained by applying the measurement tools to both groups at the beginning of the study. After the intervention group is trained, the Stem Cell Transplant Information Form will be filled in at the first follow-up at the 3rd month and at the second follow-up at the 6th month. The follow-up of the students in the control group will be done in a similar way. The results will be analyzed with the SPSS program. In the analysis of socio-demographic data, number, percentage, mean, median (median), standard deviation will be used. In the data showing normal distribution, Independent Samples T test will be used for comparisons between two groups, one of the parametric tests, and One Way ANOVA test will be used if there are 3 or more groups. For data that does not show normal distribution, the Mann-Whitney U test will be used for comparisons between two groups, one of the non-parametric tests, and the Kruskall Wallis test if there are 3 or more groups. As a result of this study, the effect of peer education and training on the stem cell donation knowledge levels of nursing students and their attitudes towards stem cell donation will be evaluated.
This study aimed to detect hypoxia early with ıntegrated pulmonary index monitoring compared to saturation.

Hospitalization, medical interventions to be performed, and uncertainties specific to surgical intervention create a certain level of anxiety in the patient. It is known that being in the hospital negatively affects the coping mechanisms of the patient. In the pre-surgical period, the nurse's practices that will facilitate the patient's coping with the situation and managing his anxiety have a positive effect on anxiety during and after surgery and on anxiety-related symptoms. For these reasons, it is aimed to determine the effect of virtual reality on pre-surgical anxiety in this study.The hypothesis of the study is that watching videos with virtual glasses will reduce preoperative anxiety.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a very common neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood characterized by short attention span, impulsivity and hyperactivity. It is also known that sensory integration problems are seen together with the basic symptoms of ADHD. Studies indicate that children with ADHD have difficulties in perceiving and processing sensory stimuli, and in relation to this, they have difficulty in producing appropriate sensory responses at school, at home and in social environments. However, it was observed that the interventions related to ADHD did not focus on the sensory-motor dimension enough, and focused more on cognitive or social skills. Although current research indicates the presence of sensory integration disorder in children with ADHD, there are no studies showing the effectiveness of sensory integration intervention. Our study was planned to examine the effect of Ayres Sensory Integration intervention on sensory-motor, cognitive, behavioral skills and social participation in children with ADHD. Materials and Methods: After the evaluation, 90 children with ADHD will be included in the study by dividing them into intervention (n=45) and control (n=45) groups by simple randomization method. Ayres Sensory Integration Therapy intervention will be applied to the intervention group for 10 weeks, 3 times a week, with a session duration of 1 hour, while the control group will continue the drug treatment and after a waiting period of 10 weeks, Ayres Sensory Integration Therapy will be applied after the second evaluation. Participants, Sensory Profile (SP), Sensory Integration and Praxis Test (SIPT), Emotion Regulation Checklist (ERC), Stroop Test TBAG Form (Stroop TBAG), Childhood Executive Functions Inventory (CHEXI), Participation and Environment Scale for Children and Adolescents (PEM-CY), Conners Teacher Rating Scale (CTRS), Conners Parent Rating Scale (CPRS), Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test-2 (BOT-2) and Goal Achievement Scale (GAS) both before and before intervention. and post-group change as well as between-group differences will be evaluated.
