There are about 14773 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.
Background: Hemiplegic shoulder pain is one of the most common complications after a stroke. There are many treatment strategies for this complication. High-intensity laser therapy (HILT) is a new treatment option, and we aimed to compare the effectiveness of conventional electrotherapy agents and HILT in this study. Patients and methods: Participants (N = 42) were randomized into the HILT (n = 21) and TENS+US (n = 21) groups. Group 1 received 3 sessions of HILT per week for 3 weeks in addition to a therapeutic exercise program that performed 5 sessions per week for 3 weeks. Group 2 received conventional physical therapy and a therapeutic exercise program for HSP of 5 sessions per week for 3 weeks. Patients were assessed before and after treatment on the on the 6th week for radiological evaluation with ultrasonography and for clinical parameters with VAS, AMAT, MRS, and FIQ scores.
Objective: This study was designed to evaluate the accuracy of Pleth Variability Index (PVI), Perfusion Index (PI) and Regional Oxygen Saturation (rSO2) in both ventilation modes in patients undergoing septorhinoplasty operation under general anaesthesia. Materials and Methods: After anaesthesia induction, ventilation was provided with volume control for 20 minutes. Heart Rate (HR), PI, PVI, Oxygen Saturation (SpO2), Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) and rSO2 values were recorded every 5 minutes. At the 20th minute of the surgical procedure, the ventilation mode was set as the pressure-controlled mode. After switching to pressure-controlled mode, HR, PI, PVI, SpO2, NIBP and rSO2 values were recorded every 5 minutes for 20 minutes.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of in-situ simulation and moulage to improve nursing students' pressure injury classification and assessment skills. A randomized controlled model with a pretest-posttest control group was used in this study. The population of the study consists of a faculty of nursing at a state university. The sample consisted of 84 nursing students. The control group received simulation-based training using a pressure injury simulator on a standardised patient in the simulation laboratory, the in-laboratory simulation group received simulation-based training using moulage on a standardised patient in the simulation laboratory, and the in-situ simulation group received simulation-based training using moulage on a standardised patient in the clinic of a university hospital. The research data were collected by Descriptive Characteristics Form, Pressure Injury Knowledge Test, Pressure Injury Assessment Form, Performance Checklist, Students' Satisfaction and Self-Confidence Scale and Student Feedback Form.
After birth, the umbilical cord is usually clamped and separated from the placenta within the first 30 seconds. Although the exact time to clamp the umbilical cord is unknown, allowing placental transfusion after birth has many benefits for the newborn. Increased bleeding control, which is reported as a maternal complication, has not been found in studies. Approximately 28ml/kg additional blood volume is transferred to the baby with placental transfusion. The hemodynamics of the newborn are positively affected as the blood volume increases the right ventricular volume and the pulmonary pressure begins to decrease with the first breath. In addition, due to this additional blood volume, stem cells and erythrocytes pass through more. There are studies showing that it reduces iron deficiency that occurs in infants at the 4th month. In our study, we aimed to examine the effect of allowing placental transfusion until cord pulsation stopped and the effect of delayed cord clamping on iron deficiency at the 4th month in babies.
Although the concepts of telemedicine and tele-rehabilitation have been frequently emphasized in recent years, the evaluation part remains inadequate. There is no study investigating remote technology-based balance, mobility and strength assessments in patients with low back pain. Therefore, the aim of the study is; It is the examination of face-to-face and technology-based remote balance, mobility and strength assessment in patients with low back pain.
This study aimed to examine the effect of yoga on mindfulness and perceived stress levels in nursing students. A randomized controlled study was conducted in a nursing department in western Turkey between September 2019 and January 2020. The required institutional permission and ethics committee approval was received. The study participants were 56 nursing students with (intervention group (n:29), control group (n:27). The intervention group received the yoga program for 15 weeks delivered once a week. The control group did not practice yoga.
Objective: This research was conducted to evaluate the effect of web-based education on psychomotor skills teaching and information levels in nursing students. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted as a randomized controlled clinical trial. The universe of the research consisted of first-year students of the nursing department of a university. The sample of the study consisted of 90 students, experimental and control group. At the beginning of the study, the drug administration course was explained theoretically to all students. Psychomotor skill teaching was demonstrated to both groups in the laboratory with demonstration technique. Then, pre-test data were collected. Students in the experimental group were given a link to the web page where they could watch the clinical knowledge and skills teaching video and a user profile was created. The students had the opportunity to watch and repeat the training videos and lecture notes as much as they wanted for two weeks. In the last stage, the knowledge and skill level of both groups was measured again and post-test data were collected. In order to collect data, intravenous-intramuscular injection skill checklists and drug administration knowledge tests created by the researchers were used.
The goal of this clinical study is to adapt mindfulness-based nursing interventions to hemodialysis patients and to investigate their effects on their psychosocial adjustment. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Do consciously applied nursing interventions increase the psychosocial adjustment to the disease in hemodialysis patients? Do mindfulness-based nursing interventions increase body and mind awareness in hemodialysis patients? Researchers will compare the experimental and control groups to see if mindfulness-based interventions have an effect on the psycho-social adjustment of hemodialysis patients.
ABSTRACT This study was conducted to determine the effect of hand hygiene training given to home patient care students with different methods on their hand hygiene beliefs, practices and skills. This study was a randomized controlled trial. The population of the study consisted of 123 students. After the removals, the study was completed with 75 students in the video, paint and control groups. In the intervention of the study, lecture, discussion, question and answer, demonstration, coloring and video methods were used.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedure is frequently encountered in non-operating room anesthesia applications (NORA). It is a procedure that requires deep sedation and analgesia in terms of gastroenterologist and patient comfort. Dexmedetomidine, which is increasingly used in NORA applications, comes to the fore because it does not cause respiratory depression, reduces the stress response, and provides hemodynamic stability. This study aims to compare the effects of dexmedetomidine-propofol (DP) and remifentanil-propofol (RP) combinations on hemodynamic stability, rapid recovery, and patient comfort in patients who underwent ERCP.
