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.
There are limited studies in the literature on the peer-led facilitator involved in each stage of the simulation in simulation-based experience in nursing education. The purpose of this research is to examine the effect of having a competent senior nursing undergraduate student with simulation knowledge and experience as a facilitator at every stage of the simulation, on the effectiveness of the simulation (Simulation Effectiveness Tool), and on the participants' satisfaction and self-confidence in learning. Method: This research is a prospective, randomized, crossover-designed experimental type of research. Structured Student Information Form, Modified Simulation Effectiveness Tool, Student Satisfaction, and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale will be used to collect data. The population of the research consists of all students enrolled in the first year of the Hamidiye Faculty of Nursing at the University of Health Sciences. Since voluntary participation in the research is based, students who want to participate will constitute the sample. Students will be divided into two groups of eight and will undergo two simulations for two consecutive days. Students in the first arm completed the simulation under the leadership of a peer facilitator on the first day, and under the leadership of an instructor facilitator on the second day; Students in the second arm will receive simulation training under the leadership of an instructor facilitator on the first day, and under the leadership of a peer facilitator on the second day.
There are very few studies in the literature examining the frailty levels of diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD) patients and its effect on their functional status despite the high prevalance of frailty in patients with DPLD This observational study aims to learn about the relationship between frailty and functional capacity and balance in DPLD patients compared to healthy subjects.
This study aims to investigate the relationship between hand and finger lengths, hand width, and dexterity. The main question it aims to answer is: 1-Is there a relationship between anthropometric measurements of the hand and manual dexterity?
This research aims to experimentally explore the effect of the mobile earthquake education application developed for high school students on the earthquake knowledge level and earthquake risk perception of high school students.
The study is a randomized controlled study planned to determine the effect of the VRBaby-Pump application applied to mothers who gave birth preterm, on the mother's breast milk expression experience, transition process, and milk amount. In the study, the effectiveness of the VRBaby-Pump application will be evaluated based on evidence using the Breastfeeding Experience and Transition to Motherhood Scale. Stratified and block randomization methods will be used in the study. The study data will be collected from mothers who gave birth preterm at the Perinatology clinic of Health Sciences University (SBU) Antalya Training and Research Hospital between September and December 2023.
This study is designed to explore the validity and reliability of the two-minute walk test as an assessment method for functional capacity in patients diagnosed with traumatic meniscal tear. The objective is to determine the effectiveness of this test in accurately measuring the functional abilities of individuals with traumatic meniscus tears. By focusing on patients who have been diagnosed with such injuries and employing the two-minute walk test, the study aims to provide valuable insights into the suitability of this evaluation tool for assessing functional capacity in this specific patient population. The findings of this research have the potential to contribute significantly to the clinical understanding and management of traumatic meniscal tears, offering clinicians a reliable and valid method for evaluating the functional capabilities of affected individuals.
Emotional freedom technique will be applied to menopausal women. Emotional freedom technique group, sham emotional freedom technique group and control groups each consisted of 35 menopausal women.
The evaluation of human gait is a crucial component of the clinical assessment and decision-making process. The gold standard in gait analysis is computerized gait analysis, which allows for three-dimensional digital data acquisition through computers (3D Computerized Gait Analysis). However, this technology is not readily accessible in routine analyses, as it proves to be a time-consuming and expensive endeavor in terms of infrastructure and human resources. The utilization of smartphones in clinical applications is on the rise, facilitated by the increasing accessibility of low-cost or free "applications," thereby addressing the limitations associated with traditional gait analysis methods. The Gait-Analyzer application is among the mentioned applications. However, in the literature, no evidence has been found regarding the validity and reliability of Gait-Analyzer application compared to the gold standard 3D computerized gait analysis systems within the context of gait analyses. The aim of this study is to comparatively examine the effectiveness of the Gait-Analyzer smartphone application with established 3D Computerized Gait Analysis systems, which have proven validity and reliability in gait analyses. Through this research, the study intends to elucidate the validity and reliability of spatiotemporal parameters of walking within the Gait-Analyzer smartphone application.
The aim is to investigate the effects of supervised exercise program, telerehabilitation program and mobile application supported exercise program, applied in the acute period after breast cancer surgery, on upper extremity dysfunction.
Pressure sores are an important health problem that can be seen at any age and in any environment where care is provided, especially in intensive care units. It is a problem that can frequently develop, especially in people who are bedridden for long periods of time and who have acute or chronic diseases. While the incidence of pressure ulcers in hospitals is 10-23%, this rate has been reported to be 8.1%-41% in intensive care units. In Turkey, the incidence of pressure ulcers in patients receiving mechanical ventilation treatment for at least 24 hours was found to be 17% and 15.5% in intensive care units. It is an important problem that requires long-term care and treatment after the development of a pressure sore, prolongs the duration of hospitalization, has high treatment and care costs, and increases morbidity. In a systematic review, it was stated that pressure ulcer treatment, in addition to normal treatment, increased the per capita cost of care between € 2.65 and € 87.57 per day.The care provided due to developing pressure sores increases the burden on healthcare professionals and makes it difficult to achieve the desired quality of care.It also brings an extra financial burden to care institutions.Studies have found that pressure ulcer development increases the cost of nursing care. Pressure sores also cause pain, infection, etc. in patients. It leads to the development of serious problems, deterioration in comfort and a significant decrease in the quality of life. The use of complementary medicines, including medicinal plants, has long been recommended in this regard. The latest approaches in medicine recommend its use in the prevention and treatment of diseases due to its fewer side effects, and it is welcomed by patients. Assessment and care of the skin is important in preventing pressure sores. Pomegranate seed oil is very rich in conjugated fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic fatty acids). Although the effectiveness of pomegranate seed oil has been investigated in many subjects, there is no study examining its effectiveness in preventing and healing wound development. The aim of this study is to determine the application of topical pomegranate seed oil. To examine its effect on pressure sore development and progression. To determine the effect of topical pomegranate seed application on the prevention and progression of pressure sores. It will be conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study.
