There are about 14601 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 prospective and four-arm randomized controlled study was conducted on n = 136 (34 = control, 34 = kegel, 34 = core, 34 = kegel+ core group) menopausal women at Trakya University Health Research and Application Center Urology Polyclinic between Oct 2023 and June 2024. In the first interview, the researcher will apply an information form to all four groups, asking about personal information, habits, bladder irritants and fluid intake-related features, obstetric, gynecological and systemic disease-related features, and stress urinary incontinence-related features. This form will only be filled at the beginning. In addition, the "Pelvic Floor Distress Scale (PFDI)" and "Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ)" will be applied and will be repeated by the executive researcher at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd controls. It will be terminated at the 3rd follow-up. Descriptive statistics, Pearson, Spearman's correlation, and regression analyzes will be used in the analysis of research data.
Home use of the NIV device, which is used to manage respiratory failure, one of the most disturbing symptoms due to COPD, will continue to increase. There is a need for studies evaluating the effectiveness of the use of WEB-based training programs in making patients and their families independent in the use of this device. This study will produce evidence for this effect and contribute to the awareness of healthcare professionals working in this field. The WEB-based training module to be developed aims to increase compliance with NIV in patients using NIV at home for a long time and to manage symptoms such as insomnia that may develop due to NIV.
The aim of this observational study is to investigate relationship between cervical, thoracic, lumbar and thoracolumbar spine posture, spine movement, isometric and eccentric shoulder strength, scapular dyskinesis and core muscle endurance in healthy competitive young swimmers in comparison with healthy recreational swimmers. The main question is whether spine posture affects spine movement, shoulder strength, scapular dyskinesia and core endurance. Participants will asked to complete a warm up period, after that spine posture, spine movement, scapular dyskinesia, shoulder strength and core endurance will be assessed by examiner. Researchers will compare competitive swimmer group and recreational swimmer group. Additionally correlation between spine posture, spine movement, scapular dyskinesia, shoulder strength and core muscle endurance will be investigated in competitive swimmer group. Aim of the study is to determine whether posture have any effect upon these parameters.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about functional bladder problems in children. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does bladder symptoms in children have an effect on core muscles? - How do core muscles change based on an increase or decrease in these symptoms?
Lung ultrasonography has become frequently used in neonatal intensive care units because it is a diagnostic, useful, harmless, radiation-free, bedside, reproducible and practical method. (1, 2) In our clinic, lung ultrasonography imaging is performed in infants hospitalized with respiratory distress. Lung ultrasonography is widely used especially in conditions that mainly cause respiratory distress such as respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), pneumonia, neonatal transient tachypnea (NTRT), congenital pneumonia, meconium aspiration syndrome and pneumothorax. (1, 2) The reliability and specificity of AUS imaging especially in the diagnosis of NTRT have been proven in many studies. AUS imaging has become an objective value by scoring today. Images will be obtained using the linear probe of the device to be used for lung ultrasound and transferred to a cell phone, both lungs will be evaluated as three areas on the right and left (anterior upper, anterior lower and lateral) and scored separately. Anteriorly, the region between the anterior axillary line and the parasternal line is divided into two by the line passing through the nipple. Above is considered as the upper anterior region and below as the lower anterior region. The area in the middle of the anterior and posterior axillary line is evaluated as the lateral region. Each area is scored from 0 to 3 points. If A lines are present, 0 points are given, if there are more than 3 B lines in an area, 1 point is given, if B lines are very dense and there are no A lines, it is considered as white lung and 2 points are given. If there is a consolidation image on AUS, 3 points were given. The maximum total score was 18 (8,9) (Figure 1). In this study, both AUS imaging and scoring will be performed in the delivery room within the first 30 minutes and AUS score evaluation will be performed at postnatal 2nd, 6th and 24th hours in the intensive care unit for inpatients and in the maternal ward for maternal patients. The hypothesis of this study is that newborns with high AUS scores will have high rates of respiratory morbidities and respiratory support in the neonatal unit. The primary aim of the study was to determine the role and importance of AUS scores measured in the delivery room in predicting respiratory morbidities of infants. The secondary aim was to investigate the value of the course of AUS scores at postnatal 2, 6 and 24 hours in predicting the respiratory prognosis of the newborn infant.
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFS) is a musculoskeletal problem characterized by pain felt in the front of the knee or behind the patella, commonly affecting individuals in adolescence or young adulthood, especially those engaged in sports such as cycling and running. It is one of the most encountered knee injuries and can have a poor prognosis. The intensity of knee pain increases during functional activities such as stair climbing, squatting, running, and jumping due to the increased patellofemoral joint reaction force. A disturbance in postural stability is observed in individuals with PFS due to pain during functional activities. Studies examining changes in foot posture, plantar pressure, and postural balance in individuals with PFS are quite limited and controversial. Moreover, research that simultaneously investigates these parameters and interprets the results is scarce. Some studies have utilized detailed technical systems such as medical imaging or motion analysis, while practical methods incorporating foot posture and plantar pressure analyses are available and easy to use in clinical settings. There is a lack of literature on the easy assessment and interpretation of plantar pressure, postural balance, and functional activities in individuals with PFS. Within the scope of this project, the plan is to assess plantar pressure, postural balance, and functional activities in individuals with PFS. The aim is to quickly interpret the biomechanical changes occurring in these individuals and guide rehabilitation programs based on the obtained data. The use of practical and fast assessment methods in planning treatments for PFS is crucial for early rehabilitation planning. Practical methods such as foot posture, plantar pressure, and postural balance assessments, which can be used in clinical settings, may provide benefits in shaping rehabilitation goals related to lower extremity alignment in individuals with PFS. The objective of this study is to compare the foot posture, plantar pressure, and postural stability of individuals with PFS with healthy individuals. Additionally, the investigators aim to investigate the relationship between foot posture, plantar pressure parameters, postural balance, and functional level in individuals with PFS. Through these objectives, it will be possible to identify potential parameters that could be effective in rehabilitation processes and contribute to determining treatment programs by revealing biomechanical changes in individuals with PFS.
Purpose: This project aimed to examine the effects of laughter yoga, which is accepted as an international nursing initiative, on loneliness, anger and salivary cortisol levels in visually impaired individuals. When the national and international literature was examined, no project was found that measured the results of laughter yoga as an intervention for visually impaired individuals. For this reason, planning an original project in this field aims to contribute to the literature. Thanks to the evidence obtained, laughter yoga, an innovative approach, can be disseminated in institutions and organizations serving visually impaired individuals as an evidence-based practice that can improve the social skills of individuals. Scope and Target Audience: The project will be carried out with visually impaired individuals receiving services in the Disabled Persons Department within the Atatürk Provincial Public Library located in Konak district of Izmir. In this section, services are provided to 250 members who actively use the library and to visually impaired people from all over Turkey. Method and Expected Result: The project was planned in a randomized controlled, pre-test post-test, single-blind follow-up consultancy design. With this initiative, a social rehabilitation environment will be provided for visually impaired individuals by taking an approach based on respect, understanding and awareness. Laughter yoga is expected to reduce the level of anger and loneliness in visually impaired individuals. At the same time, laughter yoga is expected to reduce cortisol levels, which are known to increase when faced with stress factors, and increase serotonin, which is associated with happiness and vitality, and endorphine, known as the body's natural painkiller. With laughter yoga sessions, a social environment will be created where visually impaired individuals will have an active and independent experience. Thanks to the expected evidence, laughter yoga can be popularized both in visually impaired individuals and in individuals with other disabilities. Within the scope of protecting and improving health, laughter yoga can be planned to be carried out as a routine nursing practice in disabled centers. Thus, by creating an environment where visually impaired individuals and nurses come together, a more accessible health service will be provided to individuals with special needs.

Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) will be used in the research.
In this study; The effect of the nursing intervention program (education enriched with web 2.0 tools based on the Health Belief Model) on problematic internet use, loneliness and family harmony in adolescents who use the internet with problems will be determined.
Thanks to tele-assessment methods, it may be possible to evaluate DMD patients without traveling to clinical centers. In recent years, the applicability of remote assessment methods in DMD patients, as in many populations, is being investigated. However, studies have generally focused on a single evaluation parameter such as physical function, a special evaluation method or a special evaluation tool. The aim of this study is to investigate whether remote assessment of functional performance and quality of life in DMD patients is valid and reliable. If a valid and reliable tele-evaluation method that includes functional performance and quality of life parameters is found to be valid and reliable, the travel burden on patients and caregivers can be eased, patients' stress and anxiety related to travel can be reduced, caregivers can save time and energy and provide patients with the best possible treatment.
