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.
Background: The primary purpose of our study was to understand the damage in the peripheral nerves of patients with diabetes and to determine the change in patients' reaction rates and perceptions by the age groups, duration of diabetes, fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c values, and compare these with those of the healthy individuals. Methods: This study was carried out at the Baskent University Hospital Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases Outpatient Clinic. A total of 64 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and 64 healthy controls were included in the study. Finger tapping, visual, and auditory reaction time tests were performed on the subjects, respectively. The subjects' fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c levels, and the duration of their diabetes were recorded. Analyses were performed using the SPSS version 25. Differences were considered statistically significant when the p-value is <0.05.
Objectives: Research on the effect of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) applied to postpartum mothers on the mother's mood and mother-infant interaction is a new and promising feld of research. However, the evidence on whether MBCT reduces stress and postpartum blues and improves mother-infant attachment and breastfeeding is inconclusive. The present study addresses this research question. Design: A two-arm randomized controlled trial was conducted in 90 postpartum mothers.
The aim of the randomized controlled study is to examine the effects of ShotBlocker, finger puppet and balloon inflation methods applied during intramuscular injection procedure on children's pain and fear level.
This study is aimed to carry out the Turkish version validity and reliability of the Premenstrual Syndrome Impact Questionnaire (PMS-IQ).
Diabetes is a broad-spectrum metabolic disorder that causes a defect in the organism's carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism processes due to insulin deficiency or impaired insulin effect. Diabetes requires continuous medical care and causes chronic, severe mortality and morbidity. More than 90% of all people with diabetes worldwide suffer from Type 2 DM. Diabetes self-management includes self-monitoring of blood glucose levels, knowing and managing the symptoms of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, adherence to diet, physical exercise, and diabetic foot care. Considering the high prevalent and undesirable consequences of diabetes in the world, it is necessary to benefit from new educational technologies and tools. One of these technologies is gamification, which increases the quality of education as an effective educational tool, creates motivation and enthusiasm, and develops a sense of competition in the target audience. This study plans to develop a game that will include virtual coaching to increase the self-management and glycemic control of patients with type 2 diabetes.
The aim of the study is to determine the effect of peer education on stem cell donation in nursing students on their knowledge and attitudes towards being a stem cell donor. This study is a randomized-controlled experimental design study. The dependent variable of the study is the knowledge and attitudes of nursing students towards being a stem cell donor. The independent variable is peer education on stem cell donation. The research will be carried out with nursing students studying at the Nursing Department of a university located in Istanbul. The universe of the research will be all students (N= 320) studying in the Department of Nursing in the 2022-2023 academic year. The sample of the research will consist of our friends from the nursing department who volunteered to participate in the research. In the power analysis to calculate the sample size, the sample size of the study was calculated as at least 88 for each group, with an effect size of 0.50, a margin of error of 5%, and a power of 95%. However, it was aimed to reach 100 students for each group, in case the participants were withdrawn from the study during the research and education process and the sample size could not be reached. Introductory Information Form and Stem Cell Transplant Information Form will be used to collect data. The data in the research will be collected in two stages. In the first stage, peer educators will be trained and evaluated by our consultant, who is a project internal medicine nursing specialist. In the second stage, peer educators will train and evaluate peer students. After our students studying in the nursing department who meet the sampling criteria are informed about the study, informed consent forms will be signed by face-to-face interview. Peer students will be randomly assigned to the intervention (100 people) and control (100 people) groups according to the randomization list prepared in advance. Peer educators will train nursing students in the intervention group with the peer education model. No application will be made to the control group. Pre-test data will be obtained by applying the measurement tools to both groups at the beginning of the study. After the intervention group is trained, the Stem Cell Transplant Information Form will be filled in at the first follow-up at the 3rd month and at the second follow-up at the 6th month. The follow-up of the students in the control group will be done in a similar way. The results will be analyzed with the SPSS program. In the analysis of socio-demographic data, number, percentage, mean, median (median), standard deviation will be used. In the data showing normal distribution, Independent Samples T test will be used for comparisons between two groups, one of the parametric tests, and One Way ANOVA test will be used if there are 3 or more groups. For data that does not show normal distribution, the Mann-Whitney U test will be used for comparisons between two groups, one of the non-parametric tests, and the Kruskall Wallis test if there are 3 or more groups. As a result of this study, the effect of peer education and training on the stem cell donation knowledge levels of nursing students and their attitudes towards stem cell donation will be evaluated.
In this study, it is aimed to compare the effects of short-term mindfulness meditation based on Human Caring Theory and virtual reality on patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
