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.
The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the efficiencies of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), concentrated growth factor (CGF) and autologous bone graft (ABG) in the treatment of patients who have intrabony pockets clinically and to assess the alveolar bone gain (AB gain) radiographically ((Panoramic X-ray and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) X-ray)).
This study, which was planned to examine the effects of cognitive behavioral approach-based psychoeducation on addiction profiles, self-efficacy levels and addiction courses in patients with substance use disorders, was carried out as a randomized controlled experimental study.
This study; This is a randomized controlled experimental type study designed to improve the intercultural sensitivity levels of nursing students.
The relationship of developing metabolic acidosis with antiepleptic drugs in craniotomy operations
Surgical patients, and especially bariatric patients, are high-risk patients who may develop thirst due to intubation, blood loss, osmotic imbalance, and prolonged fasting. Nurses often have the perception that when the patient's oral intake is turned off, nothing can be done to prevent thirst and dry mouth. Thirst is one of the main stress factors that reduces the comfort of intensive care patients. So far, no assessment has been routinely used to assess thirst and dry mouth. However, thirst is a mitigable symptom that should be evaluated by the nurse.
After a stroke, most patients have poor ankle control and difficulty walking. Considering that proper foot placement will provide a more balanced and controlled gait, the aim of this study was to investigate the immediate effect of non-elastic ankle taping providing eversion support on gait balance in stroke patients.
In obese patients, adequate pain relief in the postoperative period is an important parameter that affects patient comfort and hospital stay. Increasing patient comfort and recovery quality can be achieved by avoiding undesirable effects such as nausea, vomiting, and analgesia. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Bilateral External Oblique Intercostal Block (EOIB) and Perichondrial Modified Thoracoabdominal Nerve Block (M-TAPA) on postoperative acute pain scores (0-24 hours) and 24-hour opioid consumption in patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
Family-Centered Care (FCC) is a care approach based on mutual respect, knowledge sharing, and collaboration among children, families, and healthcare professionals during the planning, implementation, and evaluation of healthcare. Nurses' supportive attitudes may positively influence their care practices and behaviors towards FCC. In this regard, educational training related to FCC may affect nurses' attitudes and behaviors. In the literature, it's evident that there is a need for studies examining how both the attitudes of nurses towards FCC a key determinant of their behavioral predispositions, and the parental satisfaction with healthcare services change in response to the provision of educational training. This study aims to determine the impact of the FCC educational training administered to nurses in pediatric clinics, primarily on nurses' attitudes towards FCC, and secondarily on parental satisfaction with healthcare. With this in mind, this study aims to determine the primary impact of the nurse centered FCC educational training, provided to nurses in pediatric clinics, on nurses' attitudes towards FCC, and its secondary impact on parental satisfaction with healthcare.
The importance of lifestyle changes to control risk factors in the prevention, treatment and management of coronary heart disease (CHD), a major health problem, has been emphasised. In addition, physical, social, psychological and occupational limitations arising from the disease negatively affect the quality of life and self-efficacy perceptions of individuals, making it difficult to comply with treatment and disease management. There are general self-efficacy and self-management scales for which Turkish validity and reliability studies have been conducted previously. However, these scales are not specific to coronary heart disease patients and evaluate either only self-efficacy or only self-management. The aim of this study was to adapt the Heart Health Self-efficacy and Self-Management Scale (HH-SESM) into Turkish and to investigate its validity and reliability in patients with coronary heart disease. The study is conducted in Cardiology outpatient clinics of Karaman Training and Research Hospital. Before the study, the purpose and content of the study will be explained to the participants and an informed consent form will be obtained from the participants. Since the sample size in validity and reliability studies should be at least 10 times the total number of scale items, at least 120 individuals will be included in the study as the number of items x number of options (12 x 10 = 120). Detailed medical history and sociodemographic information (age, gender, height, weight, body mass index, disease duration (months), occupation, daily working hours, educational status, sports/exercise habits) will be recorded. In order to measure self-management and self-efficacy levels, patients will be administered the HH-SESM, Self-care management in chronic diseases scale- Self-care subgroup questions and General self-efficacy scales.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate cardiac and vascular health status of pediatric cancer survivors.
