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.
Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP); It is a disease of premature and low birth weight infants, characterized by incomplete vascularization of the retina, etiology and pathogenesis of which is unknown, and causes vision loss. There is an increase in the incidence and severity of ROP development in direct proportion to the decrease in birth week and birth weight. While ROP is a problem below 32 weeks of gestation in developed countries, it is reported to develop severely up to 34 weeks of gestation in developing countries. In a multicenter study conducted by the Turkish Neonatology Society in our country, the frequency of ROP in very low birth weight preterm infants was found to be 42%, and the frequency of advanced ROP was 11%. The incidence of ROP in babies with a gestational age of 33-35 weeks was 6.1%, and advanced ROP was 6 per thousand. The frequency of ROP was found to be 10.3% in babies with a birth weight of 1500-2000 grams, and severe ROP was reported in 19 of these babies. ROP examination is a procedure that causes pain, deterioration in comfort and physiological changes in preterm newborns. After this examination, an increase in blood pressure and heart rate and a decrease in oxygen saturation are observed. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological (non-pharmacological) methods are used to reduce the pain and increase the comfort level of the premature newborn. As a pharmacological method, there is no other routine method used to reduce pain other than the administration of local anesthetic drops before the examination. Because of this situation, nurses apply various non-pharmacological methods to alleviate pain. These methods are; breast milk, sucrose use, oral dextrose use, non-nutritive sucking, positioning, listening to music and mother's voice. In the literature, no specific study was found in which music was used to reduce pain and increase the comfort level during the ROP examination. Therefore, this research will be carried out to determine the effect of different music played on the pain and comfort level of premature babies during the retinopathy examination.
Cancer is one of the major health problems facing Turkey and the world. One of the methods used to treat cancer is chemotherapy. During this treatment period, some side effects may develop in patients. These developing symptoms can be managed with effective nursing interventions, which in turn can increase the patient's quality of life. Managing these symptoms is among the responsibilities of the nurse. The nurses' ability to effectively manage the side effects of chemotherapy depends on gaining specific knowledge, attitudes, and skills during their vocational training and the development of problem-solving and critical thinking. The research was carried out to examine the effect of chemotherapy symptom management education based on the online flipped learning model on the achievement, critical thinking, and self-directed learning of nursing students.
Among the various types of video laryngoscopes, the McGrath MAC video laryngoscopy (VL) has become popular because it is lightweight and can be quickly and hygienically prepared by changing the blade. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of two different methods (direct and indirect) for epiglottis removal during visualization of the glottis using the McGrath MAC VL.
In this study, it was aimed to determine the awareness levels and attitudes of the students with the sexual counseling training conducted in line with the PLISSIT model. This experimental (randomized-controlled) study was conducted with midwifery students who agreed to participate in the study and met the inclusion criteria at a state university in western Turkey. As a result of the randomization, there were 38 students in the intervention group and 36 students in the control group. While training based on the PLISSIT framework was given to the intervention group, no training was given to the control group. Data were collected through the Introductory Information Form, the Gynecological Cancer Awareness Scale (GCPS), and the Sexual Attitudes and Beliefs Scale (CTİÖ) before the training and after the completion of the 3 trainings.
Transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) is used in clinical practice to diagnose or treat a diverse range of medical conditions for over a century. Although the benefits of TES are well known, its potential side effects on the heart have not been convincingly clarified. This study will test whether TES has any effect on the sinoatrial node (SAN).
This intervention study was planned to investigate the effects of Sensory Integration Therapy that added to the conventional therapy program on spasticity, balance, motor function and functional independency levels of children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy
Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (SSS) is one of the most common shoulder problems. The core region is considered a kinetic link that facilitates the transfer of torque and angular momentum between the upper and lower extremities during body movements. The decrease in core stabilization affects both trunk control and the quality of extremity movements depending on the kinetic chain in the body. The improvement in core stabilization balances the load transfer between the trunk and the extremities and reduces the asymmetry between the extremities. Core stabilization training should be included in rehabilitation programs as core stabilization is adversely affected in patients with CNS. For this reason, this study was planned to examine the effects of core stabilization training applied in addition to conventional treatment in patients with CNS on pain, range of motion, upper extremity function and core stability.
It is a randomized controlled experimental and single-blind study with a pretest-posttest control group design, planned to examine the effect of repeated simulation (standard patient simulation) on improving nursing students' social justice advocacy attitudes and skills.
The goal of this Randomized, Double-Blind, Clinical Trial is to investigate the effects of scapulothoracic exercises on postural stability, muscle strength, muscular endurance, mandibular functions and proprioception in sedentary individuals aged 18-45 years with head forward posture and temporomandibular joint dysfunction (Cranio-Cervico-Mandibular Malalignment). The main questions it aims to answer are: • Do Scapulothoracic exercises given in addition to cervical posture exercises have an effect on postural stability, proprioception, muscle strength, muscular endurance and mandibular functions in individuals with Cranio-Cervico-Mandibular malalignment? Researchers will compare conventional neck exercises (control group) and scapulothoracic exercises applied in addition to conventional neck exercises (treatment group) to see the effects of scapulothoracic exercises on the neck and jaw area.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the joint position sense of individuals diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis and who have undergone unilateral total knee arthroplasty surgery, and to examine the effect of joint position sense on parameters related to balance, physical performance, reaction time, kinesiophobia, pain and stiffness.
