This study aims to evaluate acceptability and initial effectiveness of an internet-based self-help program utilizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy specifically for healthcare workers, intending to address burnout.
This study aims to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients undergoing anatomical single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with periosteal-patellar tendon-bone autograft and press-fit tibial fixation technique. The study also aims to compare these outcomes with other reconstruction techniques in the literature. The research investigates the results of a novel surgical technique, providing a minimally invasive and faster rehabilitation for patients undergoing surgery due to anterior cruciate ligament rupture. The technique does not use any screws or staples for tibial fixation, but it carries similar risks as existing techniques. The technique, similar to the well-known bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) autograft technique, creates minimal bone defect at the tibial tuberosity. Over time, the defect remodels and causes minimal clinical discomfort. Despite these limitations, the authors expect patients operated with the investigated new technique to experience less postoperative swelling, less pain, faster mobilization, and earlier rehabilitation.
Temporary tachypnea of the newborn can be improved with minimal respiratory support and nursing care given to babies within the first 72 hours of life. Nursing care practices; It includes pain management, aspiration, moistening and warming of the airways, skin care, nutrition, body temperature regulation, positioning and chest physiotherapy practices. Physiotherapy practices, when applied in accordance with the criteria, can reduce the newborn's respiratory problems and shorten the hospital stay. Although it has been reported that chest physiotherapy practices have a clinically positive effect on newborns, studies in this field are insufficient. Nowadays, the concept of care package is frequently used, especially in areas where nursing care is very important, such as intensive care. Implementation of care packages in patient care increases the quality of care by ensuring standardization in the clinic. It also contributes to observing improvements in health practices. The positive results of the use of care packages in their application areas and the lack of care package application in babies monitored with temporary tachypnea of the newborn when the literature was scanned have led to the necessity of conducting studies in this field. The study was planned as a semi-experimental (non-randomized) control group study to examine the effect of the care package applied to babies monitored with temporary tachypnea of the newborn in the neonatal intensive care unit on the duration of stay in noninvasive mechanical ventilation and physiological parameters.
Earthquakes in Türkiye cause survivors to develop serious and prolonged mental health issues and adapted versions of cognitive behavioral therapy has proven to be successful in addressing these concerns.The main goal of this pilot randomized control trial (RCT) is to test potential effectiveness of Culturally Adapted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CA-CBT) in reducing psychological distress and depressive symptoms and increasing well-being of earthquake survivors.
Hydrodissection injection method; It is a safe and effective injection method in peripheral nerve compression that aims to release the adhesions by separating the nerve from the surrounding connective tissues through the liquid given by injection. Perineural injection of 5% dextrose is analgesic in neuropathic pain, although the mechanism is not fully defined. USG-guided 5% dextrose injection using nerve hydrodissection method is promising in the treatment of CTS. In our study, we aimed to investigate the short-term (4 weeks) efficacy of 5% dextrose injection using USG-guided nerve hydrodissection method in combination with wrist splint treatment in patients with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and whether this treatment can provide additional benefit to wrist splint treatment.
Lateral epicondylitis (LE) is one of the most common causes of non-traumatic elbow pain, which develops as a result of repetitive stresses due to overuse of the forearm muscles, and is also called tennis elbow.Conservative treatment options include electrotherapy, exercises, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), steroid injections, platelet rich plasma, hyaluronic acid injections. As our knowledge this is the first study comparing the three different treatment modalities ESWT, Us and Iontophoresis on lateral epicondylitis The aim of our study; to evaluate the efficacy of ESWT, ultrasound and iontophoresis treatments in terms of pain, grip strength, functionality and quality of life in patients with lateral epicondylitis and to determine the superiority of the treatments against each other.
Urinary incontinence is a very common health problem that reduces the quality of life mostly in women. Behavioral therapy (lifestyle changes, abdominal-Kegel exercises) is recommended as the first choice in the treatment of the disease. It is known that surgical and medical treatment cannot give a definite result. The application of behavioral therapy with telemedicine has advantages such as reducing the cost and increasing the treatment rate. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the effect of telemedicine practices on compliance with multi-module behavioral therapy in women with stress urinary incontinence.
During the aging process, concrete changes such as loss of function in organs and systems resulting from biological, physiological and psychological negativities and difficulty in participating in daily life activities occur. Frailty, one of the geriatric syndromes, is a complex condition that increases vulnerability to stressors and causes a decrease in the physiological reserve necessary to maintain homeostasis in most organs. When examined pathophysiologically, it is thought that frailty is not only evaluated as physical, but psychological and social fragility may also contribute to this situation. It is thought that physical activity that includes strength training to maintain or improve muscle mass throughout aging may reduce muscle loss, an important risk factor for frailty. To treat physical frailty, supervised exercise is recommended as an effective strategy. Yoga; It is a holistic practice that encourages healing through breathing, movement, strength, flexibility and achieving integrity of spirit, body and mind. Being a meditative practice distinguishes yoga from other typical forms of physical exercise, despite having similar metabolic intensity. Regular yoga has the potential to improve flexibility, balance and muscle strength in older individuals. It is also known that yoga improves cognitive function in the elderly, helps manage chronic conditions, reduces pain due to osteoarthritis, improves sleep, increases subjective well-being and health-related quality of life. During the healthy aging process, people may need to be guided according to their individual and health characteristics. By supporting this situation with appropriate nursing care, losses can be reduced and optimum health can be maintained. One of the biggest advantages of yoga applied within the scope of nursing care is that the individual's progress is ensured in a controlled manner by preparing a flow in line with appropriate asana selections, taking into account the individual's health condition. Nursing, by its nature, requires a holistic approach to people. Similarly, the practice of yoga is considered a practice that integrates not only physical health but also the mind, body and soul. This study was planned as a randomized controlled, double-blind and experimental study to evaluate the effect of vinyasa yoga on frailty and anthropometric measurements in elderly individuals.
The study will be conducted on individuals with stoma followed in the stoma therapy outpatient clinic of a university hospital. Based on the f values of the methods to be studied in the literature review, the total sample size found using the GPOWER program with an effect size of 0.4 (Cohen), 90% power and 0.05% margin of error was found to be n = 44. The sample of the research was determined as 52 in this direction. "Informed Consent Form, State-Trait Anxiety Scale, Adaptation Scale for Individuals with Ostomies" will be filled out. Scales will be collected for both groups on postoperative day 1, day 15, and 1 month after surgery. The patients were called by phone on the 7th, 14th and 21st postoperative days and education and counseling services were provided. SPSS package program will be used to analyze the data.
