This study was planned as a randomized controlled study to test the effect of multimedia supported patient education reinforced with the "teach back" method in the preoperative period on postoperative mobilization in women who underwent gynecological oncology surgery.
Low back pain is one of the most common reasons for applying to health institutions. Low back pain seriously affects the lives of patients and causes great financial losses. Surgical treatments have an important place in the treatment of pain due to lumbar spine pathologies. Although success in lumbar spine surgery depends on many factors, it has been reported that one of the most important of these factors is patient expectations. In order for patients and doctors to have the same priorities and meet the same realistic goals, it is necessary to understand what patients expect. Many studies have attempted to measure patients' expectations for lumbar spine treatment; however, most of them are unapproved, valid and unreliable scales. Lumbar spine surgery expectations scale was created by Mancuso et al. in 2013 to learn the expectations of patients in lumbar spine surgery. It has been found that the scale has high validity and reliability values and it has been observed that it is frequently used in clinics and researches. In our country, there is no valid and reliable scale that questions the expectations of patients from lumbar surgery. As a result of this study, it is planned to introduce a valid and reliable scale adapted into Turkish, which can question the expectations of patients from a lumbar surgery.
This research was planned to examine the effects of diabetes education given by motivational interviews on adherence to the disease, perception of diabetes self-efficacy and metabolic parameters in diabetes patients. The research sample will consist of 78 individuals with type 2 diabetes (39 intervention group - 39 control group). Diabetes education will be given to the participants in the intervention (experimental) group of the research with the motivational interview method based on the Transtheoretic Model. The interviews will be completed at the end of 2 months, with a total of 6 sessions in the first month (4 sessions per month) and once every 15 days in the 2nd month (2 sessions per month). Participants in the control group will be given standard diabetes education. Participants in the intervention (experimental) and control groups will be asked to follow the habit of exercising regularly and blood sugar.
The study was designed in a randomized controlled experimental design type to determine the effect of a 2% chlorhexidine bath applied in the pediatric intensive care unit on protecting skin integrity and preventing hospital-acquired infection. Research data were collected from pediatric patients aged 2 months to 18 years old, who were treated in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of a tertiary education and research hospital between September 2022 and September 2023. In data collection; "Child Follow-up Form", "Skin Integrity and Nosocomial Infection Follow-up Form", and "Northampton Pediatric Skin Evaluation Scale (CCRS)" were used. The data were evaluated with appropriate statistical methods in SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows 24.0 package program.
The aim of our study is to determine the severity of the disease in people with Meniere's Disease; physical conditions such as balance, posture, pain, physical activity level, neck joint range of motion, proprioception; to examine psychosocial conditions such as depression, anxiety, sleep quality, fatigue, and quality of life and to make a comprehensive evaluation by comparing it with healthy volunteers.
The aim of this study is to assess the effect of nasal injury prevention interventions (NIPI) (hydrocolloid tape and facial massage) on nasal septum injury, stress and comfort of premature neonates (28-35 weeks gestation) receiving non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) support.
In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of pain management education in individuals with knee osteoarthritis with chronic pain.
This study was planned to examine the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency, insulin resistance, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and their relationship with each other and the nutritional status of individuals with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in reproductive age, by evaluating anthropometric, biochemical, and ultrasonographic findings and food consumption frequency data.
The aim of this study is to develop a tool that can measure the iron, folate, and vitamin B12 content of a diet through a literature review, database search, and a pilot study using a food consumption record. This tool will be used to accurately evaluate the iron, folate, and vitamin B12 content of the diet in non-pregnant women of reproductive age who are not currently pregnant. The research will be conducted on 350 women between the ages of 18 and 50 who are of reproductive age (menstruating). A questionnaire will be administered to the volunteer participants, which will consist of sections on general information, dietary habits, frequency of food consumption, and a 24-hour dietary recall.
The aim of the study is to see whether the hypotension that develops during spinal anesthesia in cesarean section patients causes a decrease in the postoperative cognitive functions of the patient. If the results show a decrease in functions due to the effect of hypotension, it will be necessary to carry out aggressive prevention/treatment of hypotension in cesarean section patients.
