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.
Urinary retention is also a frequent complication after percutaneous coronary intervention applied via the femoral artery. The inability to manage this situation effectively leads to serious complications in the long term, prolonging the length of hospital stay and increasing the cost, as well as impairing the participants's comfort. In the investigators's country, no study has been found in which the effectiveness of an appropriate and effective lying position in performing urinary drainage in the bed in order to ensure urinary emptying and to minimize possible complications in participants undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention has been found. One study states that the modified supine position is an effective intervention on the amount of urine output in participants. In another study, it was determined that different degrees of bed height and position changes would be safe and effective in reducing regional pain and vascular complications (hematoma, bleeding, thrombosis, bruising, etc.). In this context, the aim of the study is to reveal the effect of the modified supine position on providing effective urinary drainage (hourly and 24-hour urine output) and preventing possible complications (urinary retention) in participants undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
Nurses should provide health care services to healthy/sick individuals, families and society with a holistic and holistic approach. Nurses, who are holistic care providers, see the individual/patient as a whole within his own environment and know that he consists of body, mind and spirit. In general, holistic care addresses people's physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs, enabling them to cope with their illnesses and improve their lives. The helpful and supportive nature of the nursing profession is always at the forefront. Empathy in nursing care is one of the basic components of the relationship established with the nurse and the person being cared for. In a holistic and humanistic approach, nurses need to approach individuals with an empathetic attitude in order to understand their needs correctly and achieve more positive results. However, the nursing profession has difficulty in establishing empathy due to many negative factors in the work environment and cannot exhibit a humanistic approach. Based on this, it was aimed to determine the effect of video-based empathy training on nurses' empathy skill level and holistic nursing competence.
The goal of this study is to determine the effect of the simulation-based Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) Simulation Training applied to senior nursing students studying at a foundation university on students' perceptions and knowledge levels about ECT. The research hypotheses are as follows; H0: There is no significant difference between students' perception and knowledge levels about ECT before and after simulation-based ECT training to be applied to nursing students. H1: There is a significant difference between students' perception and knowledge levels about ECT before and after the simulation-based ECT training to be applied to nursing students. Type of study: This study was planned in a single group pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design. Participants: The study population will consist of fourth-year students (n=72) of Fenerbahçe University Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nursing, Turkish Nursing Program. Intervention: The study will collect data before the students start clinical practice and before the theoretical course on Electroconvulsive Therapy. Then, a one-hour theoretical training on electroconvulsive therapy will be given. This training includes ECT, its history, use areas, nursing care before, during and after ECT and patient education. After the theoretical lecture, a simulation scenario will be distributed to the students, and they will be asked to come prepared on the simulation day. Students will be divided into groups of 15 people, and the groups will be met in the Simulation Laboratory at the determined group hours. Control Group: There is no control group. Outcome: Perceptions and knowledge levels about ECT.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) has three main types, pre-capillary PH, post-capillary PH, and combined pre-capillary and post-capillary PH, and it is based on mean pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) > 20 mmHg measured with a right heart catheterization (RHC). Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is mainly defined as a pre-capillary PH and classed as a Group IV PH. It was reported that 0.1-9.1% of individuals with pulmonary embolism develop CTEPH within two years after the initial diagnosis, and CTEPH is the only PH category that has a chance of being cured, mainly by pulmonary endarterectomy. Sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD) are defined as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) disorders, central sleep apnea (CSA) syndromes, sleep-related hypoventilation disorders, and sleep-related hypoxemia. An SRBD may also lead to an increase in PAP primarily during sleep and cause nocturnal hypoxemia. Although SRBDs were reported in patients with pre-capillary PH, most of the studies included patients with idiopathic PAH. Although the cause-and-effect relationship between pre-capillary PH and SRBDs is uncertain, it is known that mPAP may increase during sleep in patients with OSA . Less is known regarding the occurrence of SRBDs in CTEPH. Previously a few study showed relationship between SRBDs an CTEPH as the main type was OSA. Most of the studies evaluated preoperative occurance and incidance of SRBDs in CTEPH. Only one study performed post operative SRBD on a cardiorespiratory device was conducted the night before and one month after elective pulmonary endarterectomy. In our previous study we showed that severe nocturnal hypoxemia (NH) is highly prevelant in preoperative CTEPH patients and the most common two types of SRBD are OSA and isolated sleep related hypoxemia (ISRH) and age, mPAP and AHI are independent determinants of severe NH. (J. Clin. Med. 2023, 12, 4639 https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm12144639) In this present study we aimed to investigate occurrence of SRBDs and mortality 5 years after pulmonary endarterectomy operation.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of art therapy applied to individuals with substance use who are subject to probation on difficulty in emotion regulation, self-esteem and hopelessness. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: [Is art therapy effective on the level of emotion regulation difficulties of individuals with substance use who are subject to probation?] [Is art therapy effective on the self-esteem level of individuals with substance use who are subject to probation?][Is art therapy effective on the hopelessness level of individuals with substance use who are subject to probation?] Data will be collected through scale forms and art therapy sessions. Within the scope of the pre-test application, data will be collected from all participants in the sample group using the "Personal Information Form", "Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-Brief Form (DERS-16)", "Coopersmith Self-Esteem Scale", "Beck Hopelessness Scale". Art therapy will be applied face to face to the participants in the intervention group, in groups of 4-12 people, in the group guide room, on a common day and time determined by the group members and the researchers. Researchers will compare the experimental group and the control group to see whether art therapy applied to individuals with substance use who are subject to probation has an effect on emotion regulation difficulties, self-esteem and hopelessness.
The goal of this clinical trial is to obtain more consistent results with the use of repetitive neural networks in gait models and classification approaches in individuals applying forensic sciences. It was aimed to develop a decision support system for determining the walking imitations of individuals with explainable machine learning approaches on disability compensation in the field of Forensic Medicine. Participants will be assessed regarding kinematic and temporospatial gait parameters, pain severity, and fatigue level. Comparison group: Researchers will compare the patients applying to the forensic medicine department to those applying to the orthopedic department, and their healthy counterparts.
This observational study seeks to explore the potential association between thoracolumbar fascia characteristics and low back pain in individuals diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis.
In the literature, music plays an energizing, soothing, stimulating and awakening role for the newborn, and at the same time, music has the potential to wake up a lethargic and withdrawn baby and calm a crying, restless baby. In addition, it is stated that relaxing music in the early postpartum period supports breastfeeding behaviors of mother and baby. It is stated that lullabies positively affect the newborn's relaxation, falling asleep, and mother-baby communication. however, it facilitates sleep due to its monotonous, emotional and repetitive melody structure, slow tempo and relaxing effect. The sound called white noise is a humming, monotonous and constantly used sound that suppresses the disturbing sounds coming from the environment and has a calming feature. In the literature, it has been found that white noise played to infants with colic reduces crying. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of lullabies and white noise music played during breastfeeding of the newborn on newborn stress, breastfeeding success and mother's comfort. This study was planned as a randomized controlled trial with term newborns 24 hours after birth.
