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.
The aim of this study is to determine the attitudes and stigmatization levels of nurses working in the intensive care and emergency departments towards suicidal behavior.
The effects of psychosocial support on the disease process have been studied with many different groups and diseases, and even the psychosocial support needed by the family of the child with a chronic disease has been the subject of research, but studies focusing directly on the needs of the child have been very limited. Although it is seen in the existing literature that studies such as art and play therapy or educational programs have been carried out to improve the attitudes of pediatric oncology patients towards their own diseases, no study has been found that investigated the effects of social/social support in pediatric oncology patients. In order to contribute to this limitation in the literature, this study aimed to examine the effects of community-provided psychosocial support videos on the attitudes and symptoms of pediatric oncology patients.
Stroke is one of the leading causes that negatively affects quality of life. The benefits of regular physical activity are well recognized. Physical activity after stroke may prevent disability and recurrence of stroke. Physical impairments seen after stroke may prevent exercise and limit subsequent recovery. According to a 2016 systematic review updated and published in the Cochrane Library, physical activity programs have positive effects on disability, physical abilities, quality of life, mood and cardiovascular. However, these effects tend to diminish unless the individual's physical activity level is maintained. Therefore, individuals who have had a stroke should be encouraged to exercise. However, it has been reported that most of the patients do not participate in exercise programs as recommended after stroke and there is a decrease in physical activity level. Previous studies have reported that approximately 77% of patients with stroke are sedentary or have low levels of physical activity and also reduced frequency of physical activity. This may be a consequence of the reduced movement speed seen due to severe motor impairments. Interestingly, even those with mild motor impairments, i.e. those walking at speeds above 0.8 m/s and able to participate in community-based exercises, were found to have low levels of physical activity. Therefore, environmental and personal factors can also be barriers to exercise. Research supports the use of the theoretical model of behavior change developed by Prochaska et al. in physical activity promotion. Individuals are thought to progress through the stages of change at different rates. The concepts of self-efficacy and decision balance (perceived benefits and barriers) are particularly salient for individuals in the pre-thinking and thinking stages. Therefore, identifying and understanding perceived barriers to engaging in physical activity is an important step in creating change in physical activity behaviors. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health defines functioning and disability as multidimensional concepts in which activity, especially physical activity, is influenced by organic and contextual factors. These dimensions often change after stroke and create multiple barriers that may prevent the patient from returning to a physically active lifestyle. Previous studies on barriers to physical activity in stroke survivors have used open-ended questionnaires. When we look at the scales examining exercise and physical activity barriers in the literature, it is seen that they were developed to measure physical activity barriers in the general population and in individuals with chronic conditions. Therefore, the Barriers to Physical Activity After Stroke (BAPAS) scale was developed by Drigny et al. in 2019 to help physicians and therapists identify potential targets for future interventions and optimize clinical follow-up in stroke patients and to assess barriers to physical activity after stroke. The original scale is in French and there is also an English version. Since the scale was recently developed, there is no Turkish version and no version in other languages.
It is aimed to determine the late cord clamping with early skin-to-skin contact in primiparous pregnant women who delivered vaginally, according to placental separation time, separation method, amount of postpartum bleeding and postpartum comfort.
The trunk is the key point of the body. Proximal trunk control is essential for distal extremity movements, balance and functional activities. The aim of the study is to examine the relationship of trunk control with balance, upper extremity and lower extremity functions in stroke patients.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of listening to fairy tales and watching cartoons on pain in the aspiration process in play-age children receiving palliative care.
İn this study, planned to compare the post-operative analgesic efficacy of Ilioinguinal iliohypogastric (II-IH) nerve block and Quadratus lumborum III Block in elective cesarean section operations. this study primary aim is; To compare and evaluate the first rescue analgesia requirement times after Quadratus lumborum III and II-IH Block for postoperative analgesia after elective cesarean section operations under spinal anesthesia. Our secondary aims are: 1. To compare the amount of total analgesic use in the first 24 hours in patients 2. To compare the NRS (Numering rating scale) values (resting and dynamic) at 2. 4. 8. 12 . 24. hours in the postoperative follow-up of the patients 3. Comparing the side effects such as postoperative nausea and vomiting
This is a retrospective, non-interventional study. Investigators from infectious diseases and gastroenterology departments will participate this study. Patients data will be collected from hospital medical records.
Introduction: Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) performed with open heart surgery technique is a successful operation in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Incision of the sternum region, saphenous vein graft, sternal retraction, presence of chest and mediastinal tubes cause pain. The pain experienced by the patients, the complications related to the disease they have, and the stress they experience cause an increase in sleep problems. In addition, the increase in sympathetic activity after surgery and nursing care interventions also affect sleep quality. The literature reports that sleep disorders affect the working physiology of the heart in patients with cardiac disease, adversely affect heart health and affect postoperative recovery. In addition, since sleep disorders are also associated with cardiovascular diseases, it is of great importance to improve the sleep quality of this group of patients. One of the non-pharmacological nursing interventions is the eye patch. The eye patch is an instrument made of fabric, with an elastic strap, aimed at pure darkness by diverting all light from the patient's eyes. The main physiological purpose of using an eye patch is to adjust the hormones melatonin and cortisol, which affect the circadian rhythm. As a result, it is thought that the eye patch will prevent patients from being exposed to excessive light in the hospital environment, the regulation of hormones and sleep quality will improve, and the pain will decrease. Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of eye patch applied to patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery on sleep quality and pain. Method: Individuals who have undergone coronary artery bypass graft surgery in accordance with the sampling inclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups by block randomization. After determining the groups, each patient in the experimental and control groups, whose written consent was obtained, will have the first researcher fill out the Descriptive Characteristics Form, Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire and Numerical Pain Scale on the morning of the first night they spent in the clinic. Patients in the experimental group will be given the "standard care" and "eye patch" application in the clinic on their 2nd and 3rd nights in the clinic. The patients in the control group will only be provided with the "standard care" in the clinic on their 2nd and 3rd nights in the clinic. Patients in both groups will be asked to fill out the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire and Numerical Pain Scale forms in the mornings of the 2nd and 3rd nights.
Children who continue to walk on their tiptoes after developing a heel-toe gait normally are diagnosed with idiopathic toe walking (ITW). The study's aim was to investigate the effects of serial casting and physical therapy on joint range of motion (ROM), toe walking severity, functional health and health-related quality of life, walking balance, and satisfaction from treatment in ITW, in comparison with the control group.
