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 was to examine the Turkish validity of the Pain Behavior Scale in a population with chronic non-specific low back pain and to examine both intra-rater and inter-rater reliability. In addition, since this test package includes a series of functional activities, it is aimed to assess pain behaviors during functional movement in this population and to verify the test-retest reliability of physical performance tests.
Most people experience low back pain at some point in their lives, and most low back pain is classified as nonspecific because the factor causing the pain cannot be identified. Current guidelines recommend self-management interventions for the management of nonspecific low back pain. The most commonly used assessment measures measure pain, disability, and quality of life. However, it is important to evaluate patients' ability to manage their nonspecific LBP-specific disease. In 1997, Howie and colleagues introduced the concept of enablement, which represents patients' enablement, understanding of, and ability to cope with their health and illness. They developed the "The Patient Enablement Instrument" to measure patient competence based on the theory that if patients' competence increases, other important outcomes will improve. The Patient Enablement Instrument has since been translated into many languages and has generally demonstrated moderate to good validity and reliability. However, there are limitations to using the Patient Enablement Instrument as an outcome measure. Inspired by the Patient Enablement Instrument, researchers from Denmark and Sweden developed the Patient Enablement Instrument for Back Pain , which could potentially be used as an outcome measure for interventions aimed at improving self-management in people seeking treatment for low back pain. In 2021, Nielsen et al. The validity and reliability of the scale was determined by and its use was recommended in the population experiencing low back pain. The aim of our study is to culturally adapt the Patient Enablement Instrument for Back Pain into Turkish and to examine its validity and reliability.
When the field of neurorehabilitation is examined, most of the current physiotherapy and rehabilitation approaches are based on real movements to stimulate damaged motor neural connections through neuroplasticity. However, since studies have shown that similar brain regions are activated during real movement with motor imagery, which is defined as imagining movement without actually revealing the movement, the findings of these studies suggest that motor functions can be improved through neuroplasticity, just like real movement. When the literature especially in the pediatric population is examined; The effectiveness of motor imagery training with children with cerebral palsy was examined and positive results were found. However, there are no such studies on children with DMD. In addition, telerehabilitation-based motor imagery training is a very rare treatment modality that requires further research. Therefore, the aim of the study is to investigate the effect of telerehabilitation-based motor imagery training on motor imagery ability, motor function and physical performance in children with DMD. The secondary aim of the study is to investigate the effects of telerehabilitation-based motor imagery training on psychosocial factors including fatigue and quality of life in children with DMD.
Smartphones are the technological devices of our age that are constantly evolving and whose use is becoming more widespread day by day. Smartphones, which are preferred by almost everyone for reasons such as being easily portable, providing quick access to transactions, providing ease of use and sometimes as a status indicator, can pose a risk of addiction when used uncontrolled. Since young people are more intertwined with technology and use smartphones more, they are at greater risk of addiction and the problems that addiction can cause. Poor sleep quality is an important problem that can occur with smartphone addiction and negatively affects both daily life and the health of the individual. Smartphone addiction and the problems it causes are an important public health problem that threatens the whole society, especially young people. In solving this problem, it is among the duties of nurses to teach individuals healthy lifestyle behaviors instead of problematic behaviors. A road map is needed to facilitate the behavior change process. Transtheoretical Model (TTM) is widely used today to improve the behavior change process in the individual and to achieve the most effective health behavior change. TTM, which targets interventions appropriate to the individual's stage of change, is used as a guide that facilitates behavioral change. TTM is a model that contributes to change, accelerates it, and supports individuals considering change. In addition to TTM, another method that is more frequently used and contributes to change, especially in addicted individuals, is the "motivational interviewing" method. Motivational interviewing is very effective in gaining positive health behaviors and changing negative health behaviors and aims to reveal the individual's internal motivation. It is thought that the university years, which are an important period in terms of developing and maintaining health-protective and preventive behaviors, will both increase students' health responsibility and protect them from health-threatening behaviors with the healthy lifestyle behaviors acquired during this period. In line with all this information, this study was planned to determine the effect of the Transtheoretical model and motivational interview-based online intervention program on smartphone addiction and sleep quality levels in nursing students who are in the smartphone addiction risk group.
The goal of this [type of study: randomized controlled clinical trial] is to [determine the effect of applying the scent of premature newborns who cannot be breastfed to the mother on the mother's milk amount, salivary cortisol level and mother-infant attachment.] in [mothers of premature babies]. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - [Hypothesis 1: There is a difference in the amount of milk of the mother.] - [Hypothesis 2: There is a difference in the level of cortisol in the mother's saliva.] - [Hypothesis 3: There is a difference in terms of mother-baby attachment level.] Participants will [Participants will express milk and record the amount of milk.]. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare [control and experimental groups] to see if [difference in amount of milk, cortisol level, baby attachment].
SUBJECT: The Effect of Virtual Reality Based Interactive Therapeutic Dementia Patient Education Program on the Levels of Knowledge, Attitudes and Empathy towards Dementia OBJECTİVE: The research was planned to determine the effect of virtual reality-based interactive therapeutic dementia patient education program on the knowledge, attitude and empathy levels of nursing undergraduate students. DESIGN: Pretest and posttest randomized controlled trial BACKGROUD:It is inevitable to strengthen and enrich nursing education with innovative teaching approaches in understanding the needs of individuals with dementia and informal caregivers and providing qualified nursing care for dementia, which is more difficult and intangible to understand compared to chronic diseases.From this point of view, it is expected that the virtual reality-based interactive therapeutic dementia patient education program to be implemented in this study will have positive ethics in the knowledge, attitude and empathy levels of nursing undergraduate students. METHODS: The research will be carried out between 16.10.2023 and 16.10.2024 with 50 second year nursing students from the faculty of nursing. Students will be divided into control and intervention groups of 25 people in the form of block randomization.Students in the intervention group will implement a virtual reality-based interactive therapeutic dementia patient education program.Students in the control group will not be given any program other than the routine education program.Both groups will be asked to fill simultaneously the dementia knowledge assessment scale, the dementia attitude scale, and the Jefferson empathy scale for nursing students before and after administration.Statistical analysis of the data will be made.
The more effective use of ultrasound in regional anaesthesia techniques has made different block applications possible. Lumbar plexus block is also used for post-operative analgesia and surgical anaesthesia. Currently, in-plane ultrasound-guided LPB is widely used in short-axis imaging and Shamrock imaging.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a psychotherapeutic intervention model in nursing on the nursing diagnosis ineffective coping. For this purpose, validity and reliability studies of the assessment tools will be carried out initially, and then a randomized controlled study will be conducted.
In our study, the effect of infant massage applied in the intensive care unit on motor performance and stress hormones in premature babies will be examined. The number of patients to participate in the study was determined as 30. Appropriate babies will be determined and divided into 2 groups by drawing lots. After recording the demographic information of the babies who meet the inclusion criteria, the Baby Motor Performance Test (TIMP) and the baby's motor performance evaluation consisting of postural control and selective extremity movements, and the stress level of the babies will be evaluated by looking at cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) hormones. In addition, Field baby massage will be given to the application group. It is seen that there are limited studies in the literature on the effect of infant massage applied in the intensive care unit on motor performance and stress hormones in premature infants. The results of this research will provide useful information for premature babies hospitalized in intensive care.
