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.
Although the incidence of delirium after cardiac surgery is high, it is not sufficiently recognized. The long-term effects of delirium are likely to be underestimated. In this study, the investigators aimed to examine the relationship between optic nerve sheath diameter and postoperative delirium in open hearth surgery.
This study was planned to determine the effect of laughter yoga on the secondary traumatic stress and depression levels experienced by midwifery students due to the use of social media after the earthquake. The universe of the research will be the third year students of Health Sciences University Hamidiye Health Sciences Faculty Midwifery Department (N:84). A total of 8 sessions of laughter yoga, 2 sessions per week, will be applied to midwifery students in the intervention group of the research. It will be determined as intervention (n:42) and control (n:42) groups. "Descriptive Information Form", "Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale for Social Media Users" and "Beck Depression Inventory" will be applied to both groups.
The increase in the prevalence of diabetes and the loss of various organs and functions in the individual as a result of complications caused by diabetes affect the life expectancy and quality of individuals, and cause social and economic losses affecting the whole society. For this reason, the individual management of the diabetic patient is important in terms of ensuring effective participation and compliance in treatment and care. Patients must have knowledge, skills and positive attitudes in order to successfully comply with diabetes treatment. Patients are in compliance with diabetes treatment; they encounter some barriers such as medication barriers, barriers to self-monitoring, knowledge and belief barriers, barriers to diagnosis, barriers in relations with health professionals, barriers to lifestyle change, barriers to coping with diabetes, and barriers to getting advice and support. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) states that self-monitoring of blood sugar is important in ensuring glycemic control and preventing hyperglycemia and asymptomatic hypoglycemia. Reiki is applied as an alternative and complementary treatment method. Reiki application, when used together with pharmacological methods, chronic fatigue, diabetic neuropathy, pain caused by surgery, cancer treatment, symptoms of cardiovascular diseases, emotional disorders such as anxiety, depression, acute or chronic pain, infertility-related problems, neurodegenerative disorders, AIDS, autism and developmental disorders, Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, traumatic brain injury and has been shown to improve health problems such as fatigue. In the literature, the effects of reiki have been examined in patient groups with different chronic diseases, but no study has been found on obese individuals with Type 2 diabetes. Therefore, reikinin in obese individuals with Type 2 diabetes; This study is planned to determine whether it has an effect on compliance with diabetes treatment, eating behaviors, anxiety levels and changes in metabolic values.
Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS); is a complex syndrome characterized by many symptoms such as chronic widespread pain, fatigue and sleep disorders, cognitive dysfunctions and psychiatric disorders. It has been stated that there is an urgent need for studies examining the clinicimetric and psychometric properties of the pain phenotype criteria in terms of patients receiving the most appropriate treatment, clinicians deciding on the appropriate treatment, and contributing to the research of scientists. Despite all this, no study has yet been found that describes the pain phenotypes in fibromyalgia syndrome and how different types of pain affect patients. The primary aim of this study is to determine the chronic pain phenotypes in individuals with FMS. The secondary aim of this study to determine the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of the algorithm used in the determination of pain phenotypes and to assessment the clinical effects of different pain phenotypes on individuals with FMS in terms of pain severity, disease severity, quality of life and catastrophe.
The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the efficiencies of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), concentrated growth factor (CGF) and autologous bone graft (ABG) in the treatment of patients who have intrabony pockets clinically and to assess the alveolar bone gain (AB gain) radiographically ((Panoramic X-ray and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) X-ray)).
This study, which was planned to examine the effects of cognitive behavioral approach-based psychoeducation on addiction profiles, self-efficacy levels and addiction courses in patients with substance use disorders, was carried out as a randomized controlled experimental study.
Haemodialysis (HD) is the most commonly used method among renal replacement therapy options in patients with End Stage Renal Failure. Although one of the most important factors affecting the success of this treatment is compliance with fluid restriction, the rates of non-compliance with fluid control vary between 10-74%. It is understood from the literature that fluid restriction is one of the most difficult areas in compliance with HD treatment. Interdialytic weight gain is the most widely accepted method to assess compliance with fluid control by measuring the amount of fluid accumulated in the body. Thus, studies on this subject have shown that excessive interdialytic weight gain is a common problem in HD patients. It is known that excessive interdialytic weight gain increases the risk of morbidity and mortality in HD patients. The main factors causing interdialytic weight gain are fluid and salt intake between two HD sessions is appears to be. Therefore, it is stated that the easiest solution to control excessive interdialytic weight gain is to reduce fluid and salt intake. However, studies have reported that HD patients have difficulty in adapting to a salt-restricted diet, and in this case, they increase their fluid consumption. Therefore, it is of vital importance that public health nurses carry out interventions to ensure HD patients' compliance with fluid and salt control. In the literature review conducted with this perspective, studies were encountered in which results were obtained that m-health interventions provided a decrease in interdialytic weight gain averages and sodium intake. In this direction, a HafifMod programme based on the use of mobile health technologies was created. The aim of the study is to examine the effect of the LightMod programme for fluid and salt control guided by the Health Belief Model on interdialytic weight gain in routine haemodialysis patients.
This study; This is a randomized controlled experimental type study designed to improve the intercultural sensitivity levels of nursing students.
The relationship of developing metabolic acidosis with antiepleptic drugs in craniotomy operations
Surgical patients, and especially bariatric patients, are high-risk patients who may develop thirst due to intubation, blood loss, osmotic imbalance, and prolonged fasting. Nurses often have the perception that when the patient's oral intake is turned off, nothing can be done to prevent thirst and dry mouth. Thirst is one of the main stress factors that reduces the comfort of intensive care patients. So far, no assessment has been routinely used to assess thirst and dry mouth. However, thirst is a mitigable symptom that should be evaluated by the nurse.
