Studies have shown that Pilates exercises are one of the exercises that can improve breathing capacity, coordination, balance, flexibility, and muscular endurance. Pilates exercises improve walking and balance, reduce back pain and prevent further pain or injury. These are all common problems for people who have undergone lower extremity amputation. The aim of our study is to improve the pelvis-trunk coordination, gait symmetry, and balance on individuals who have undergone amputation and also to increase body awareness.
Parents of children with gastrostomy have problems with the selection and preparation of nutritional products and catheter care during home care. Parents express that they want to receive practical training in the process of home care of the child with gastrostomy, they want to communicate more with the team and they need continuous monitoring to solve the problems encountered effectively. In this context, it is aimed to establish an appropriate training programme for the care of children with gastrostomy, to provide counselling and follow-up. Digital health technologies are divided into different sub-branches. Mobile health applications constitute one of these structures. Mobile health applications are used in elective surgical interventions in pediatric surgery (tonsillectomy, hernia repair, circumcision, etc.) and in the home care process after organ transplantation. In pediatric surgery, many mobile health applications have been developed to support pain management, symptom monitoring, medication adherence, support care processes, postoperative follow-up and self-management processes. In mobile health applications, no mobile application has been found for the use of parents of children with gastrostomy. In Turkey, there is no known nursing study for the use of parents of children with gastrostomy. The aim of this study is to develop a mobile application for the care of children with gastrostomy and to determine the effect of the application on gastrostomy complications, care burden of parents, self-efficacy and anxiety level.

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of live lullaby from mother voice, and breast milk smell on pyhsiological parameters, comfort and maternal attachment levels of preterm newborns who are between 35-37 weeks of gestation at the time of the study and the level of pospartum depression of mothers. The main hypothesis are: H0: The live lullaby from mother voice and breast milk smell have no effects on pyhsiological parameters, comfort and maternal attachment levels of preterm newborns H1: The live lullaby from mother voice has effects on pyhsiological parameters, comfort and maternal attachment levels of preterm newborns H2: The breast milk smell has effects on pyhsiological parameters, comfort and maternal attachment levels of preterm newborns H3: There is differences between the live lullaby from mother voice and the breast milk smell interventions in terms of preterm newborns' physiological parameters, comfort and maternal attachment levels. H4: The postpartum depression level of mothers in experimental groups (lullaby group and breast milk group) is lower than the control group. Participants will be in three groups according to the interventions. The preterm newborns who are going to listen a live lullaby from their mothers' voice will be the first group (Lullaby group). The preterms in the second group (Breast milk group) are going to smell their mothers' breast milk. The preterms in the third group (Control group) are going to recieve rutin nursing care interventions.

Game-based learning is gaining increasing attention to meet the evolving needs of today's nursing students and the demand for 21st century skills in modern healthcare. After the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for innovative learning methods has increased in the process of transferring the theoretical knowledge of nursing students into practice. It can improve learning outcomes while enhancing learning experiences by encouraging participation and motivation. Different teaching methods are used during the teaching of the course they take to nursing students. Game-based learning, which is one of them, is used to increase the motivation of students and to contribute to the acquisition and evaluation of knowledge and skills. Escape room is one of the methods used in this area. The integration of innovative strategies into teaching and learning in higher education, such as escape room games as a learning method, has been reported to increase the acquisition of key professional competences, including communication, teamwork, and critical thinking. Within the scope of the innovative learning method, it is aimed that nursing students correctly evaluate the preoperative steps of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocol in the escape room so that they can use the theoretical knowledge they have received in this study in practice.

This research is an experimental study with a randomized pre-test-post-test control group to evaluate the effect of the cognitive behavioral approach-based stress coping skills training program carried out by tele-nursing on the palliative care nurses' perception of stress, resilience and compassion fatigue. The main questions it aims to answer are: Question 1. Will the cognitive behavioral approach-based stress coping skills training program to be carried out through tele-nursing have an effect on the increase in the stress coping score of the palliative care nurses in the intervention group? Question 2. Will the cognitive behavioral approach-based stress coping skills training program to be carried out through tele-nursing have an effect on the reduction of stress perception among palliative care nurses in the intervention group? Question 3. Will the cognitive behavioral approach-based stress coping skills training program to be carried out through tele-nursing have an impact on the increase in resilience of palliative care nurses in the intervention group? Question 4. Will the cognitive behavioral approach-based stress coping skills training program to be carried out through tele-nursing have an effect on the reduction of compassion fatigue in palliative care nurses in the intervention group? The research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental design with the required ethics committee and institution permissions, a three-month announcement and initiation period, and an eight-week intervention period. Data will be collected twice at baseline and after intervention (Week 9). Personal information form, Perceived Stress Scale, Coping with Stress Scale, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Quality of Life Scale for Employees will be used in the pre-test phase of data collection. Participants meeting the inclusion criteria will be assigned to the intervention and control groups by randomization. In order to support nurses in the intervention group to gain awareness of stress and anxiety and develop positive coping skills with stress, a total of 8 sessions of 40 minutes are planned, including interaction steps based on education and cognitive approach. Individuals will be given homework from the second week and they will be asked to deliver these homeworks to the researcher 2 days before the next interview, and it is planned to send reminder messages from the WastApp group created. Participants who do not deliver the assignments given in this study to the researcher on time will be excluded from the research even if they participate in online training.
