This study was designed as a prospective randomized controlled study in order to evaluate the effect of end-of-life care awareness training to be given to intensive care nurses on the knowledge levels, attitudes, and behaviors of nurses. The study was conducted between May and July 2023 with 76 nurses working in the Anesthesia and Reanimation Intensive Care Unit, General Intensive Care Unit, and Cardiovascular Surgery Intensive Care Unit of Van Training and Research Hospital, who met the inclusion criteria. The hypotheses of this research: H1: End-of-life care awareness training increases the knowledge level of intensive care nurses about end-of-life care. H2: End-of-life care awareness training positively affects intensive care nurses' attitudes toward end-of-life care. H3: End-of-life care awareness training positively affects the behaviors of intensive care nurses towards end-of-life care. Nurses who completed their undergraduate education worked in intensive care for at least one year, actively continued their profession (no annual leave, report, etc.), and were willing and voluntary to participate in the study were included in the study. Nurses who had a palliative care nursing certificate, had received training on end-of-life care by participating in a training program such as ELNEC, and had not participated in the training program of the study for more than two sessions were not included in the study. At the beginning of the research, the pre-test forms/scales "Nurse Information Form", "End-of-Life Care Knowledge Test" and "Intensive Care Nurses' Attitudes and Behaviors Towards End-of-Life Care Scale" were administered to all nurses. After the pre-test application, the nurses were randomly included in the training and control groups. A randomization list generated by a computer-based random number sequence was used to determine which group the intensive care nurses would be in. - The "End-of-Life Care Education Program in Intensive Care" prepared by the researchers in line with the End-of-Life Nursing Education-Intensive Care program was applied to the intensive care nurses in the training group. The training program was implemented online for 45-60 minutes one day a week for 4 weeks. The same forms/scales were repeated 4 weeks after the training. - Intensive care nurses in the control group did not receive any intervention during the study. Similar to the training group, the same forms/scales were repeated 4 weeks after the training. After the study is completed, the same training program will be applied to the nurses in the control group.

The hypothesis of the research H1: The therapeutic communication skill level scores of the nursing students in the intervention group participating in the virtual reality simulation will increase compared to the nursing students in the control group.
The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) states that physical activity is very important for healthy adults as it provides many health and psychological benefits. Physical activity is any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that increases energy expenditure. physical activity; It is an important health behavior that can have a positive impact on physical, cognitive, and social well-being. In the population of athletes who qualify as physically active, the focus is not on adapting to exercise or improving physical activity. However, the inability of athletes to maintain their lifelong physical activity levels after retirement can cause health problems. Because physical activity behavior patterns are lifelong, it is important to understand the factors that contribute to physical activity. Conscious awareness; It is defined as a mindset in the form of being aware of the present moment with the features that do not judge, accept and avoid. Mindfulness is often said to require both purposeful attention and an accepting attitude. Intention is also considered an important part of awareness. There is increasing interest in the role of mindfulness in the emergence of positive health outcomes. One possible benefit of mindful practice is that it can lead to intrinsic motivation. Until recently, there was no good way to measure the specific experience of mindfulness during physical activity to support this recommendation. A new scale called the State Mindfulness Scale for Physical Activity has been developed to help researchers better understand how people feel about their physical activity. The State Mindfulness Scale for Physical Activity is a 12-item scale to measure mindfulness during a specific physical activity. The scale is based on the Situational Conscious Awareness Scale, which measures objects (mental and physical) and the quality of situational conscious awareness. The original scale was not comprehensive enough to capture the full spectrum of physical experiences. The State Mindfulness Scale for Physical Activity was developed to assess different aspects of mindfulness (mental and physical) during physical activity to better understand the physical activity experience. There are six items that use awareness of objects of mental experience and six items that use awareness of objects of physical or physical experience. State Mindfulness Scale for Physical Activity has been successfully adapted to Spanish, Italian and Brazilian. Despite the increase in Turkish assessment tools in the field of physical activity in recent years, psychological assessment tools are very few. The aim of this study is to translate, culturally adapt and validate the Turkish version of the State Mindfulness Scale for Physical Activity.
It was aimed to examine the effect of telerehabilitation on clinical stress level and stress responses in nursing students.
ARDS management is quite complex, and mortality is high. PEEP titration is very important in mechanical ventilation. However, the most appropriate approach for PEEP titration has yet to be determined. Currently, the emphasis is on focused PEEP implementation. The present study aimed to evaluate the volume gain at different PEEP levels over the pressure-volume curve, the changes in EELV measured by the modified multiple nitrogen wash-out/wash-in technique, and the compliance with respiratory mechanics. 14 adult ARDS patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation were included in the study. According to the Berlin Criteria, There were two mild, seven moderates, and five severe ARDS patients. FRC and EELV with decreased PEEP titration estimates (5 cmH2O) were measured by the multiple nitrogen wash-out/washin technique. Gain and compliance values were measured over the dynamic pressure-volume curves created by the intracheal pressure sensor.
There is insufficient evidence of inspiratory muscle training on venous function, clinical severity, symptoms and functional capacity and quality of life in CVI patients. Therefore, in the study, the investigators aimed to determine the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle training in individuals with chronic venous insufficiency.
The study included 15 geriatric individuals over the age of 65 staying in Kızılay Zeynep Nedim Oyvar Nursing Home and Elderly Nursing Home. Participants in the study were rehabilitated by playing exergame games with Xbox 360 KinectTM for 30 minutes once a week for 8 weeks. Before starting the application, the participants were given a demographic information form, Tampa kinesiophobia scale for kinesiophobia, Nintendo Wii balance platform and basic balance game for balance measurement, geriatric depression scale-short form for depression, cognitive functions, and mini-mental state test for the lower extremities. functional strength and risk of falling. The shuttle test was applied 5 times. These tests will be repeated at the end of 8 sessions and before and after values were measured. As a result of the analysis, the effects of Xbox 360 KinectTM games on kinesiophobia, balance, lower extremity muscle strength, depression, and cognitive functions in geriatric individuals with kinesiophobia were investigated.
The effect of hippotherapy, which will be applied to children with special needs in a single session, on sitting balance and walking speed under the supervision of a physiotherapist was investigated. 30 randomly selected children with special needs between the ages of 3-18 who were referred to the Gebze Equestrian Training Center were included in the study. The children were randomly divided into 3 groups: 10 in the saddle, 10 naked (direct contact with the horse), and 10 in the hippotherapy group, in which a cloth of different texture was placed on the horse. Each group did a 30-minute hippotherapy session in the manege area. Before the application, the sitting balance of the children was evaluated by playing the Nintendo Wii Balance Platform and the Basic Balance Game. In addition, 10 m walking test was applied for walking speed. These assessments were repeated after the 30-minute session. It was checked whether the application had an effect on balance and walking speed. Comparisons between the groups were made and it was examined which application was more effective on balance and walking speed.
Depending on the YASAM project which was established to home-visit evaluate community-dwelling older adults (80 years of age and over), we aimed to determine the prevalence (prevalence) of geriatric syndromes (dependence, frailty, malnutrition, depression, dementia, comorbidity burden, polypharmacy) in these individuals and to determine possible changes in the follow-up of the patients during the 2-year follow-up period.
