There are about 14639 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.
One of the leading elements in providing safe healthcare is to maintain employee health and safety. Hazards in the working environments of healthcare professionals threaten employee safety and cause errors in patient care. In this case, healthcare professionals working in a safe environment means that patients receive service in a safe environment. Safety climate is the perception of employees of the policies, procedures and practices that exist to ensure safety in the workplace and is an important element for the formation of a safety culture in the workplace. There are many factors that determine the perception of safety climate. These factors can be listed as the type and size of the organization, the occupational risks that employees are exposed to at work, the way occupational safety is managed, the gender, seniority of employees, and their position in the organization.
Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is one of the most important complications of neuraxial blocks and lumbar interventions for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination. It occurs due to tear in the dura mater and loss of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) after intrathecal or epidural interventions.The incidence of PDPH depends on the thickness of the needle used and the type of tip. Headaches are more common with thick needles than with thin needles.In our study, postdural puncture headache in patients whose surgery was planned and spinal anesthesia was applied at Süleyman Demirel University faculty of medicine;frequency, predisposing factors, treatment intended to examine.
The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of caudal epidural steroid injection and caudal epidural pulsed radiofrequency stimulation in the relief of symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis. This evaluation used the numerical rating scale (NRS) to assess pain relief and the Medication Quantification Scale III (MQS III) to assess the effectiveness of the interventions on medication consumption. The rates of adverse events related to the interventions were also compared.
Materials to be used as permanent filling materials in Class II restorations are still an essential field of study. This study aims to evaluate the 5-year clinical performance of Class II restorations performed with different bulk-fill restorative materials. The study was planned as an observational clinical trial. In the study, Class II restorations performed with Tetric Bulk Fill (TBF) and Filtek Bulk Fill (FBF) composites and Equia Forte Fil (EF) will be evaluated. Fifty-one patients and 119 restorations will be included in the study. Restorations will be assessed in terms of modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria during the 5th year. Cochran Q, Pearson chi-square, and Fisher-Freeman-Halton tests will be used for statistical analysis.
Pulmonary embolism (PE) presents notable risks of morbidity and mortality, underscoring the need for customized anticoagulant treatment. There is a scarcity of research examining drug-related issues (DRPs) in PE. This research endeavor seeks to assess how addressing DRPs affects the clinical outcomes of PE patients receiving outpatient care, offering valuable insights to bolster patient safety measures. This study will conduct a randomized controlled trial on PE patients in Istanbul, Turkey, from January 15, 2022, to January 15, 2023. The intervention group (IG) will receive clinical pharmacist (CP) recommendations for DRPs, while the control group (CG) will undergo observation only. Evaluations will occur at 90- and 180-days post-discharge, focusing on DRPs, CP interventions, and patient outcomes. Data will be systematically recorded and analyzed, adhering to ethical standards and employing the PCNE v9.1 classification system.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of watching musical cartoons on anxiety and vital signs in children undergoing rectal irrigation. This study was a randomized controlled experimental trial. The study sample consisted of 40 children, 20 of whom were assigned to the experimental group and 20 to the control group. Data Collection Form, Vital Signs Evaluation Form, and Child Anxiety Scale-Stateness were used as data collection tools. Data collection tools were used in both groups before, during, and after the procedure. In addition, the experimental group was shown musical cartoons during the procedure.
The aim of this study was to investigate the balance characteristics of patients with Frozen Shoulder.
The study was conducted to investigate the effects of Otago Exercise Training and Square Stepping Exercise Training on balance and fear of falling in geriarthric individuals and the superiority of the two exercise training for these parameters. The volunteer individuals participating in the study were randomly divided into 3 groups as otago exercise group, square stepping exercise group and control group with equal number of men and women. The individuals who participated in study had a homogeneous distribution in terms of age, gender, BMI, height, weight and occupational status in all three groups. However, the number of female individuals was higher in all three groups. In the study, individuals in the exercise training groups received square stepping and otago exercise training 3 days a week for 6 weeks, while individuals in the control group did not receive any training. All three groups were evaluated before and six weeks after the training.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting is one of the most common complications after laparoscopic surgeries. The investigators aimed to evaluate the effects of intraoperative high fraction of inspired oxygen in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting according to Apfel score in laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients.
This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between diastolic notching on uterine artery Doppler and serum apelin-13 and 36 concentrations between 11 and 14 weeks of gestation.
