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.
This study evaluates the effects of three different anesthetics on high dose rocuronium in laparoscopic cholecystectomy cases. Patients were randomly assigned to one of the propofol, desflurane, or sevoflurane groups. Train of four (TOF) and bispectral index (BIS) monitoring were used during surgery in all groups.Patients were followed until TOF and post tetanic count (PTC) values reached 1 and the time was recorded.The effect of three anesthetic drugs used on the duration of the muscle relaxant drug was investigated.
The adolescent's search for self-discovery and identity in physical, psychosocial, cognitive and emotional areas may become more complex with epilepsy disease management. The adolescent's burden of treatment compliance may lead to poor adherence to the disease and worsen short- and long-term health outcomes. Disease self-management in epilepsy represents the processes required for disease knowledge, seizure control, medication adherence, increasing social support and quality of life, and reducing the negative effects of the disease. Educational training implemented in this period have an effect that increases motivation to gain skills to adapt to the disease. This model argues that knowledge is a basis for behaviour change, but it is not sufficient alone. However, it is argued that people will have the necessary behavioural skills when they are well informed and motivated for effective action. It is aimed to find a statistically significant difference from the scales (Epilepsy Knowledge Test for Adolescents, Seizure Self-Efficacy Status Scale in Children with Epilepsy, Multidimensional Perceived Level of Social Support Scale, Child's Attitude Towards His/her Disease Scale) at the end of the training of adolescents who received an 8-week training program.
Objectives: To examine the effect of interactive online education given by peers or adults on anxiety, self-efficacy, quality of life, and disease knowledge and management in adolescents with allergic asthma in the 10-14 age group. Methods: The research was conducted as a randomized controlled study. The study sample consisted of 84 adolescents divided into experimental groups [receiving peer(n=28) or adult(n=28) education] and control(n=28) group. The adolescents in the peer or adults were given online interactive education concerning allergic asthma and the management thereof. The control group received only usual training.Data were collected using an Adolescent Personal Data Form, the State Anxiety Inventory for Children, the Self-Efficacy Scale for Children and Adolescents with Asthma, the Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire, and the Disease Knowledge and Management Questionnaire. Data were collected from the adolescents before (T0) and immediately after education (T1), and after one (T2) and three months (T3). This study is a non-blinded randomized controlled trial. . All screened adolescents with asthma were randomly assigned to one of the three groups: the peer or adults education groups that received a 6 weeks asthma education and a control group that received usual care. The three groups were then followed prospectively immediately, 1, and 3 months after training to evaluate the effectiveness of training compared with usual care.
Medical procedures can cause significant stress and anxiety for children and parents, impacting their overall hospital experience. Numerous studies have demonstrated that techniques aimed at diverting attention during procedures can effectively reduce pain and fear. Considering the rapid advancements in technology and the strong connection between Generation Z children and technology, this study aims to explore the use of hologram technology through a hologram fan and the traditional method of bubble blowing as interventions to assess their impact on pain and fear levels during intravenous blood collection in children. The study design will follow a randomized controlled trial approach. The sample will consist of patients between the ages of 3 and 12 who meet the sampling criteria and receive outpatient care at the pediatric stem cell outpatient treatment unit between April 2022 and February 2024. Data will be collected using a researcher-prepared form containing introductory information and child pain, fear, and emotional indicator scales for which appropriate permissions have been obtained. The blood collection process will be performed by the unit's nurse, and the observer nurse will complete the scales. Descriptive statistics, such as mean, standard deviation (median, minimum, maximum), frequency, and percentage values, will be used for data analysis. IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0 (IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 25.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.) will be employed for data analysis. A significance level of 0.05 will be used for all statistical analyses. Regenerate response Keywords: Fear, pain, pediatrics, hologram, bubble-blowing, invasive procedures
Preconceptional care is a very important preventive health service that gives couples the opportunity to prepare for a healthy pregnancy in a physically and psychologically healthy way, aims to identify and minimize the risks that may be present to the mother and fetus. Although preconceptional care is recommended for all couples of reproductive age, it is not at the desired level both in the world and in our country. In the literature, it is seen that the existing knowledge of individuals is insufficient, care is not provided for this period, and research revealing the knowledge and attitudes of individuals is very insufficient. It is thought that if the individuals in the society are informed about this issue and awareness is raised, the rate of benefiting from preconceptional care and counseling services will increase. One of the important components of preconceptional counseling is health education. Health education aims to increase the knowledge of individuals, to create awareness and thus to gain positive health behavior. The Health Promotion Model enables individuals to make behavioral changes to create a healthy lifestyle. Based on this, this research has been planned in order to determine the effect of web-based pregnancy preparation education structured according to the health improvement model in the preconceptional period on women's knowledge, attitudes and health behaviors.
Investigators will include in our study patients aged 60 and over who have been evaluated in the pre-anesthesia clinic for procedures such as endoscopy, colonoscopy, ERCP, PEG, EUS, and ESD, and who have received sedation by an anesthesiologist. Patients will be assessed for frailty prior to the procedure; during and after the procedure, respiratory monitoring (SpO2, capnography) will be closely observed, and they will be contacted by phone three days later. Primary goal of the study is to prospectively investigate the incidence of peri-procedural complications (desaturation, bradycardia, hypotension, etc.) in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal procedural sedation, and to assess its relationship with detected frailty using the FRAIL scale.Secondary goals of the study are to identify risk factors for adverse events, examine the relationship of these factors with 'ASA score - age and frailty scale', and determine their impact on the incidence of adverse events. Additionally, investigators aim to research the effects of capnography-based respiratory monitoring on adverse events.
The aim of this quasi-experimental control group study was to evaluate the effectiveness of testicular self-examination training given to male university students. Hypotheses; H1a: Immediately after the training and three months after the training, the experimental and control groups' Planned Behavior Theory scale intention sub-dimension scores related to Testicular Self-Examination will increase. H1b: Immediately after the training and three months after the training, the experimental and control groups' Planned Behavior Theory scale attitude sub-dimension scores related to Testicular Self-Examination will increase. H1c: Immediately after the training and three months after the training, the experimental and control groups' Planned Behavior Theory scale subjective norm sub-dimension scores on Testicular Self-Examination will increase. H1d: Immediately after the training and three months after the training, the experimental and control groups' Planned Behavior Theory scale perceived behavioral control sub-dimension scores will increase. H1e: Immediately after the training and three months after the training, the scores of the Planned Behavior Theory scale self-efficacy sub-dimension related to Testicular Self-Examination will increase in the experimental and control groups. H1f: Immediately after the training and three months after the training, the experimental and control group's Planned Behavior Theory scale total scores on Testicular Self-Examination will increase. A questionnaire will be administered to the participants before and after the training of male health promotion and testicular self-examination, and the retest will be filled after the reminders about the smallpox given for 3 months. The researcher will compare the intervention and control group to see if the behavior of performing testicular self-examination regularly occurs.
Stroke is defined as a neurological disorder resulting from acute focal damage to the central nervous system caused by vascular factors, which may include cerebral infarction, intracerebral haemorrhage and subarachnoid haemorrhage. Postural balance is a critical factor affecting walking and gait performance in the community after stroke. Gait disorders contribute significantly to functional disability in individuals after stroke. These impairments encompass a variety of changes, including muscle weakness in the affected lower limb, resulting in reduced weight bearing on that limb. This results in a slower and less safe gait. Given the impact on gait, functional mobility is also compromised, including daily activities such as sitting, standing, walking, turning and climbing or descending stairs. Proprioception is impaired in a large percentage of individuals following stroke. The presence of proprioception deficits has been identified as an important determinant of unfavourable functional outcomes after stroke, especially in terms of achieving independence in basic activities of daily living and length of hospital stay. In the literature, there are no studies investigating the relationship between ankle position sense and lower extremity functionality with balance and falls using Humac Norm Isokinetic Machine and Tecno Body Prokin Isokinetic Balance System simultaneously.
Tracheal tube cuff pressure in the range of 20 to 30 cmH2O is considered safe, but it is quite common to encounter cuff pressure outside this range in patients with tracheal intubation. Moreover, objective cuff pressure measurement and monitoring are not routinely applied, especially in general anesthesia practice. Overinflation of the cuff can potentially impair tracheal mucosal blood flow. This may lead to various tracheal injuries such as mucosal inflammation, mucosal ischemia, tracheal ulceration, tracheal stenosis, tracheoesophageal fistula, and tracheal rupture. Conversely, inadequate cuff inflation can lead to inadequate ventilation and microaspiration. The importance of routine cuff pressure measurement and pressure adjustment to keep the pressure in the desired range is emphasized in preventing such side effects in intubated patients. Despite this recommendation for routine intracuff pressure measurement, the methods used to measure and monitor cuff pressure vary from subjective estimation techniques to objective measurements, and there is a lack of specific protocols and documents in the current literature. For this purpose, in this study, it was aimed to perform continuous cuff pressure measurement monitoring using the transducer of the invasive pressure monitoring device, which is routinely used in arterial or central venous pressure monitoring, and to test the effectiveness of this method in reducing cuff-related complications including sore throat, hoarseness, and dysphagia compared to the intermittent monitoring method.
