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.
Gastrointestinal bleeding is a condition that frequently presents to emergency departments and can be fatal if diagnosis and treatment are delayed. The working mechanism of end tidal capnography is simply to detect the respiratory carbon dioxide level. In our study, the investigators aimed to determine the severity of gastrointestinal bleeding by using the Glaskow Blachford Score and AIMS65 score in cases presenting with gastrointestinal bleeding, to determine the end tidal carbon dioxide value by capnography in these cases and to determine its effectiveness in evaluating mortality and morbidity in gastrointestinal bleeding.
Within the scope of this research, a single session of Wearable Technological Device (Exopulse Molli-Suit) will be applied to patients with chronic back and neck pain. The results will be evaluated acutely, after 24 hours, after 1 week and after 1 month.
92 patients with a diagnosis of primary knee pain of unknown cause followed at the family medicine outpatient clinic and who met our exclusion criteria were invited to the study. When creating patient list, the examination of patients, interviews with patients, as well as their medical records and examinations were used. Patients were divided into two groups: prolotherapy (n=46) and control group (n=46) by simple randomization method. However, when the study started, 32 people in the prolotherapy group and 33 people in the control group of these patients participated in the study. Prior to the research, detailed information was provided about the research in the experimental and control groups and signed consent was obtained from all participants that they volunteered to participate in the research. 5% dectrose was applied to the prolotherapy group by injection method to the pain area. In the control group, existing medical treatments were continued and no injection procedure was performed. Before the research, all participants were evaluated with Case Report Form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Quality of Life Scale Short Form (SF-36). The cases in the experimental and control groups were re-evaluated with the VAS and SF-36 scales at the first month.
This study was planned to determine the effect of kinesio taping (KT) applied to the abdominal area after surgery on pain and gas output in children aged 6-12 years who had open appendicitis surgery.
Objective: This study was conducted to determine the effect of breastfeeding education given through gamification on breastfeeding self-efficacy and infant feeding attitudes of pregnant women. Method: This study is a randomized controlled pretest-posttest parallel group experimental study, and 28 women included in the experimental group and 28 women in the control group. In the study, "Sociodemographic Information Form", "Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form-Antenatal Form (BSES-SF), ", "Infant Nutrition Attitude Scale (IOWA)" Form was used. The data analyzed in SPSS program. Breastfeeding education content integrated into the game program designed with the gamification technique. A training program was applied to the women in the experimental group in the last trimester. Women in the control group received the standard breastfeeding training in the hospital. Measurement tools was applied to all participants before and after the training. Conclusion and Suggestions: In this planned study, it was aimed to teach women about breastfeeding in a digital environment in a fun way. In this study, it is found that breastfeeding education given through gamification have a positive effect on breastfeeding self-efficacy and infant feeding attitudes of pregnant women.
The presence of high mental symptoms among nursing students in Turkey highlights the need to develop various support strategies in nursing education to preserve and ensure the continuity of the nursing workforce. This study aims to compare the effects of brief cognitive-behavioral group psychotherapy and laughter yoga on mental symptoms in nursing students with mental symptoms.
Swimming is one of the sports branches that includes many factors such as aerobic and anaerobic endurance, strength, flexibility, speed, quickness, rhythm, coordination as well as sportive performance and technical skills. Athletes must have a high level of fitness, strength, coordination, agility, speed and motor control to perform at an elite level with minimal injury risk. Repetitive upper extremity movements imposed by freestyle swimming may lead to changes in muscle length and tension by paving the way for postural misalignment in adolescent swimmers. As can be seen in the studies, young swimmers who are preparing for the competition have postural disorders and injuries related to use, such as decreased posture, shoulder joint range of motion and subacromial distance. Pectoralis minor stretching exercise to be performed in swimmers is aimed to improve swimming performance and prevent possible postural disorders by contributing to the increase of maximal shoulder muscle strength as well as correcting the incorrectly developed posture in children.
The goal of this is randomized controlled study to examine the effect of early mobilization on sleep, physiological parameters, and length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU). The hypothesis are: Hypothesis I: Early mobilization positively affects the sleep quality of patients. Hypothesis II: Early mobilization positively affects the physiological parameters of patients (respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, pain). Hypothesis III: Early mobilization shortens the length of stay of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Early mobilization will begin in the experimental group after sedation is discontinued within the first 12 hours and its effects disappear. In early mobilization, in the evaluation of in-bed mobilization, physiological parameters (respiratory rate, sPO 2, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, pain) will be evaluated and recorded in the supine, semi-fowler position. In out-of-bed mobilization, the patient's physiological parameters (respiratory rate, sPO 2, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, pain) will be determined and recorded before mobilization and when the head is in a 45˚ upward position. Surgical wounds and dressing areas, if any, are protected, drains are identified, care is taken not to remove equipment such as urinary catheters or nasogastric tubes, when the patient is seated on the edge of the bed with the help of a nurse, when he/she is stood up next to the bed with the support of the nurse, when he/she is made to sit in a chair next to the bed and when he/she is in a chair. While sitting, 1st minute, 5th minute, 10th minute respiratory rate, sPO2, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature values and pain levels will be recorded and these data will be evaluated on their own. During mobilization, if the patient develops chest pain, arrhythmia, hypertension (systolic pressure>160 mmHg), or hypotension (systolic pressure<90 mmHg), tachypnea, or hypoxia, a break will be taken and the physician will be consulted. The same procedures will be repeated during the mobilization of the patient in the first 24-36 hours and the necessary records will be made by the researcher. Control Group: After admission to the Cardiovascular Surgery ICU, the type, purpose and implementation process of the study will be explained to the patients, and a routine/standard postoperative mobilization procedure will be applied to the patients in the control group. Accordingly, patients will be mobilized in the first 24 hours after surgery, and in the evaluation of in-bed mobilization, their physiological parameters (respiratory rate, sPO 2, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, pain) will be evaluated and recorded in the supine, semi-fowler position. In out-of-bed mobilization, the patient's physiological parameters (respiratory rate, sPO 2, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, pain) will be determined and recorded before mobilization and when the head is in a 45˚ upward position. Again, arterial blood gas monitoring of the patients in the control group will be performed at maximum 4-hour intervals, and respiratory parameters will be frequently evaluated and recorded.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of minimal enteral nutrition (MEN) on mesenteric blood flow and oxygenation with Doppler USG and Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) during therapeutic hypo¬thermia (TH) in babies with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. The main question it aims to answer is: 1- How do the mesenteric blood flow and oxygenation get affected with MEN during TH? Participants will be either fed with MEN during TH or given placebo.
Range of motion (ROM) is a term used to describe the amount of motion in each joint in our body. Every joint in the body has a normal range of motion. Maintaining the normal opening of the joints is achieved through movement. ROM exercises reduce contractures and are very important in terms of helping to preserve muscle movements. ROM exercises are an inexpensive method that can be applied in any environment, either as a group or individually, covering all muscle-joint groups. Individuals with disabilities can perform ROM exercises individually or receive support from healthcare professionals. It provides support to venous return by increasing muscle strength in patients who are immobilized for a long time. Based on this information, the aim of our study is to investigate the effect of lower extremity ROM exercises during hemodialysis on hypotension, fatigue and hemodialysis comfort. The patients will be divided into the intervention group (n=32) in which 20 minutes of ROM exercise was applied and the control group (n=32) in which routine nursing care was given. For the sample calculation of the study, G power analysis was performed, type 1 error was 0.05; type 2 error 0.20; With a power of 0.80, a minimum sample size of 64 people for the experimental and control groups. The case group will be given lower extremity ROM exercises for a total of two weeks. Each individual in the case group will have lower extremity ROM exercises, each of which will last 20 minutes, at the beginning of the session and at the beginning of the hour until the end of the session. "Piper's Fatigue Scale" and Hemodialysis Comfort Scale" in the data collection form will be applied again at the end of the 1st and 2nd weeks after the sessions have started. The vital signs of the individual will be followed and recorded at each session.
