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.
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of using double gloves on perforation in orthopedic surgery. Materials and Method: The randomized controlled experimental study was conducted between 30.11.2021 and 31.03.2022 in the Orthopedics and Traumatology operating room of a university hospital in western Turkey. The gloves used in the surgery were randomly divided into two groups (intervention: double glove group = 780 gloves, control: single glove group = 390). The presence of holes was checked by performing a water tightness test with the EN455-1 method on all gloves collected after the surgery by the researcher. Data were evaluated with descriptive statistics, Chi-square Test, Fisher Exact Test, and linear model regression analysis (GLM for the Binomial Family Regression). Statistical significance was accepted as 0.05.

Before the application, both groups will be given 2 hours of theoretical information on the evaluation and management of postpartum hemorrhage. 41 students assigned to the intervention group will be given a high-fidelity simulator, and 41 students assigned to the control group will be given practical training accompanied by an adult standard patient care model. "Descriptive Information Form", "Evaluation of Simulation-Based Learning Scale", "Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale", "Self-Efficacy Scale" and "Early Postpartum Hemorrhage Management Skill Evaluation Form" will be applied to the students participating in the research.
The aim of Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) is to explain to patients the biological and physiological processes involved in a pain experience and, more importantly, defocus the issues associated with the anatomical structures. PNE provides compelling evidence in reducing pain, disability, pain catastrophization, and limited physical movement in musculoskeletal problems. Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a very common painful musculoskeletal problem, especially in people over 50 years old, and lead to decrease in knee range of motion. Despite costly arthroscopic surgeries and long-term physiotherapy treatments, poor outcomes are common. The lack of satisfactory results suggests that some practices should be revised. Although PNE could be useful as an intervention, to our knowledge, there is no randomized controlled trial in the literature investigating the effects of PNE in patients with a KOA. Therefore, we aimed to examine the effectiveness of PNE on clinical outcomes in patients with KOA.
Pregnancy and childbirth are a natural life event for women, as well as a process in which physical, biological and psychosocial changes are experienced. This process causes women to perceive childbirth as an unknown and unpredictable situation, resulting in the fear of childbirth. Due to the fear of childbirth, the daily routines, professional lives, social activities and relationships of pregnant women are significantly affected. This study was planned to evaluate the effect of mobile education given in line with the "Guide to Coping with Fear of Birth" on fear of birth, birth preference and maternal satisfaction at birth. Research; It will be carried out at the T. C. Ministry of Health Gaziantep Cengiz Gökçek Gynecology and Pediatrics Hospital. Data; The first one is 28-30th of pregnancy. week, the second is 36-38. It will meet in three meetings in total, the third of which will be within 12-24 hours postpartum. Data, Personal Information Form (Annex-1), Wijma Birth Expectation/Experience Scale (W-DEQ) Version A (Annex-2), Wijma Birth Expectation/Experience Scale Version B (Annex-3) and Birth Experience Scale ( Annex-4) and Postpartum Questionnaire (Annex-5). The obtained data will be analyzed with the SPSS 22.0 program. In this study, it is thought that the training given to women with a high level of birth fear can reduce their fear of childbirth and increase maternal satisfaction at birth.
Patients will be recruited from the Outpatient Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Kestel State Hospital, who have been diagnosed with mechanical LBP for the past 3 weeks (physical examination, neurological examination, spinal radiography and laboratory tests and other causes of LBP were excluded) and who have agreed to participate in the study. Sociodemographic data of patients who gave written informed consent will be recorded to ensure anonymity. Although no consensus has been reached on the cross-cultural adaptation of the questionnaires into different languages, this study will use the guidelines for self-report measurement provided by Beaton et al. Following the formation of the expert committee, the scale will be translated and the pre-form back-translated. Comparisons will be made with the translated versions and the final version of the scale will be created by taking into account the opinions of the preliminary group of participants. The reliability, test-retest reliability, face validity and content validity of the scale will be assessed by the expert committee. In order to assess the concurrent validity of this scale, all participants will also complete the 'Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire' and the 'Quebec Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire', which have been previously validated and reliable in Turkish. The Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire consists of 10 items that assess activities of daily living. These are pain intensity, personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, social life, travelling and degree of change in pain. Each item has 6 options ranging from 0 to 5 points (12). The Quebec Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire consists of 20 items assessing activities of daily living. Each item has 6 options ranging from 0-5 points. The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability and the Turkish version of the Low Back Activity Confidence Scale (Lobacs).
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that affects the median nerve that usually cause numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness in the hand and fingers. While definitive diagnosis is made with nerve conduction studies, the patient's history and physical examination findings lead the clinician to the diagnosis of CTS. Using factor analysis and item response theory methodology, Atroshi et al. developed a short 6-item version of the symptom severity scale to ease respondent burden while maintaining the psychometric properties of the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire. It has been demonstrated that the 6-item CTS Symptom Scale has good reliability, validity and responsiveness. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and construct validity of the Turkish version of the 6-item CTS symptoms scale for CTS.
Aim Physiological changes in intraocular pressure as well as in the cornea and macula may occur during pregnancy. In the literature, there are limited data on ocular findings in hyperemesis gravidarum. Therefore, we have decided to investigate the effect of hyperemesis gravidarum on macular thickness, corneal thickness and intraocular pressure (IOP).
102 patients who have suspicious ALNs were included in our prospective study, which was approved by a tertiary health care facility ethics committee. Each suspicious lymph nodes (LNs) were examined with PDUS and SMI in terms of distribution, appearance and number of vascular structures and the still images were stored. Subsequently, imaging findings were re-evaluated after histopathological or follow-up results and were compared between benign and malign groups. In addition, we revealed the diagnostic perfomance of using the each possible combination of these features in PDUS and SMI. Finally, two radiologists with 22 years and 4 years of experience analyzed the images and interobserver agreement was assessed
