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.
Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is an important public health problem in our country as well as all over the world. The physical, psychological, social and economic problems and mood disorders experienced by the parents of these children can negatively affect not only themselves, but also the effectiveness of the intervention and treatment programs applied to the children. Therefore, many mindfulness-based intervention programs aim to improve stress reduction, resilience and well-being in parents. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the effect of mindfulness-based self-compassion training given to parents of children with ASD on stress, resilience and well-being. The research will be carried out with the parents of children aged 7-12 years who applied to the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic of Atatürk University Health Research and Application Center located in Erzurum city center between December 2022 and October 2024 and diagnosed with ASD. The sample of the study was determined by G-power analysis. With the power analysis, it was calculated that at least 68 parents should be included in the sample, in the calculation made at the level of α=0.05, the effect size of 150, 153 (d=0.8) and the power of the study to be 90%. Therefore, the sample size of this study is planned to be 68. In the collection of research data, an introductory information form containing the socio-demographic data of the child with ASD and the parent, prepared by the researcher in line with the literature, Parental Stress Scale (SIDS), Psychological Resilience Scale for Adults, Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale, Self-Compassion Scale Short Form (SSS-F), Conscious Awareness Scale (CIFI) will be used.
Hemodialysis; It is the process of returning the liquid and solute content of the blood taken from the patient to the patient as a result of rearrangement by means of a membrane and with the help of a machine. A permanent vascular access that can be used for months or years is required for HD treatment to be sufficient for patients with end-stage renal disease to survive and improve their quality of life. For this reason, patients who will be treated for HD need to have an arterio-venous fistula (AVF), graft or catheter to ensure adequate blood flow. CRF patients treated with HD are exposed to 300-320 AVF cannulations per year on average. The size and length of the diameter of the fistula needles, the piercing process created in the skin, the advancement of the needles into the tissue during the procedure, the entry angle of the needles and the entry techniques cause the patients to experience pain during the procedure. Non-pharmacological methods frequently used in pain control include many applications such as distraction, massage, hot and cold application, aromatherapy. Distraction, which is one of the non-pharmacological methods, is a method that enables patients to focus their attention on a different point and to control and reduce the symptoms they experience. Methods such as listening to music, taking pictures, watching television, solving puzzles, daydreaming, deep breathing and coughing exercises, sphygmomanometer blowing, active listening, tapping, inflating balloons, distraction cards and using virtual reality glasses are used for this purpose. With the virtual reality glasses, the individual gets away from the environment with the glasses connected to the device worn on his head and the sounds coming from the headset, concentrates his attention on the image he watches and feels like he is in another world thanks to these five-dimensional glasses. The most basic feature that distinguishes virtual reality glasses from similar applications is that it gives people a real feeling. Virtual reality glasses, which are easy to apply and use, have no side effects, and can be effective in physical, psychological and social recovery, are an initiative that can be preferred in health applications. In this study, it is aimed to determine the effect of using virtual reality glasses on pain during fistula cannulation applied to hemodialysis patients. The hypotheses of the research; H₀: The use of virtual reality glasses is not effective in reducing the severity of pain. H1: The use of virtual reality glasses reduces the severity of pain.
Robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery has become an alternative to open or laparoscopic technique in various surgical fields. Robot assisted laparoscopic surgery is preferred by surgeons and patients due to easy accessibility, lower blood loss and lower transfusion rates. However, robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery can cause significant changes in cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic and cerebral physiology because it requires a deep trendy position. When long -lasting deep trendelenburg position is applied, the cerebral autoregulation is impaired. In the literature, the presence of cases with brain edema is shown. In recent years, many biomarkers have been used in the evaluation of brain damage. S100 Calcium Binding Protein (S100β), N Ron specific enolase (NSE), Glial Fibrils are among the biomarkers used to show acidic protein (GFAP) brain damage. The S100β is specific and is mainly produced by astrocytes and enters the bloodstream after neuron damage. Glial fibrils is an acidic protein (GFAP), a protein encoded by the GFAP gene in humans, an intermediate filament protein produced in the central nervous system. Neuron specific enolase (NSE) is one of the enzymes that increase brain damage encoded by Enolase 2 (ENO2) gene. Mini Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment will be performed to determine neurological changes developing in patients. The purpose of this study; Robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery is to examine the brain damage that may develop in patients due to deep trendelenburg position in patients with the said biomarkers and to evaluate the anesthesia methods applied in these surgery in line with the study results.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of plantar two-point discrimination on hip-knee-ankle position sense in children with toe walking.The main questions it aims to answer are: - Are two-point discrimination and light pressure sensation in the plantar region affected in children with idiopathic toe gait? - Does the two-point discrimination in the plantar in general and the heel in particular affect the position sense of the hip-knee and ankle?
This study was carried out as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of inhaled lavender and bergamot oil on anxiety and sleep quality in patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit who had undergone surgical intervention. The universe of the research; Patients who were hospitalized in an Intensive Care Unit in Istanbul between May 2021 and October 2021, and the sample consisted of patients who met the criteria for inclusion in the study. Fifty-four patients who agreed to participate in the study and met the inclusion criteria were included. Lavender oil or bergamot oil or distilled water was administered to the patients 2 evenings by inhalation.
Purpose: The present study was conducted to determine the effect of repositioning frequency during phototherapy on bilirubin level and neonates comfort. Design and methods: This was a single-centered, single-blind, 3-arm, pretest-posttest parallel-group randomized controlled trial conducted in a neonatal intensive care unit. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: Supine position group (n = 20), hourly position change group (n = 20), and control group (n = 20). The bilirubin level and comfort levels of the neonates were evaluated.
The primary aim of this study was to compare the acoustic sound quality of edentulous patients rehabilitated with two-implant overdentures or the all-on-4 concept. The secondary aims were to evaluate the effect of implant and prosthetic success on acoustics.
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) negatively affects the quality of life of millions of women. PMS is a common cyclic disorder characterized by somatic, cognitive, emotional and behavioral symptoms that usually occurs in young and middle-aged women, lasts during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and ends with the onset of menstruation.Studies have shown that women with high PMS symptoms are more inactive. Physical activity participation in women affects a wide spectrum of self-perceptions, including knowledge, social, and emotional self-perceptions. By determining which physical, emotional, social and academic/knowledge areas are affected by women, increasing their participation in physical activity can be achieved. The subject of the study is to determine the symptom severity of women with and without premenstrual syndrome and to examine how premenstrual syndrome affects physical activity self-worth.
Remarkably, the incidence of gastrointestinal cancer cases among cancer types is increasing. Gastrointestinal cancers are one of the 10 most common cancer types in the World. This increase worldwide is remarkable, especially due to the increase in urbanization, consumption of foods rich in animal fat, insufficient dietary fiber intake and lifestyle changes. Cytotoxic therapy, which is used in the treatment of malignant diseases, can cause serious complications in gastrointestinal cancer, distinguishing it from other types of cancer. In addition, patients experience symptoms such as nausea-vomiting, mucositis, diarrhea, and constipation much more severely due to the direct effects of these agents on the gastrointestinal system. For this reason, patients' compliance with the treatment process and their quality of life are seriously affected, and patients have difficulties especially in meeting their self-care needs.
Chronic neck pain is a common problem in our society. With the Neck Disability Index, we can classify the functional status of individuals with chronic neck pain as "no restriction, mildly limited, moderately limited, severely restricted, completely limited". In this study, the difference between cognitive functions, kinesiophobia and neck awareness between those who have a functional status according to the Neck Disability Index and those whose functional status is "slightly limited-moderately restricted" and those who are "severely limited-totally limited" will be investigated with questionnaires and evaluations. The study will provide information about whether there is a difference between individuals with chronic neck pain regarding cognitive functions, kinesiophobia and neck awareness according to their functional status. Thus, it will contribute to the literature to provide clinicians with awareness about the functionality levels in chronic neck pain and to consider individuals within this framework.
