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.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy(eswt) applied in addition to conventional physical therapy on pain, mobility, functional ability, sleep quality and activities of daily living in patients with adhesive capsulitis compared to low-level laser therapy and to investigate whether they are superior to the control group.
Objective: It is thought that the puzzle technique and teaching method will be useful in teaching psychiatric nursing in order to facilitate the learning of psychiatric symptoms and findings and to increase awareness in mental state examination. For this reason, the research was planned to examine the effectiveness of the puzzle technique in learning psychiatric symptoms and findings in psychiatric nursing students. Design: This study was planned in a randomized controlled experimental design. Method Place and Time The research is planned to be carried out between November and January 2022 at a foundation university. Population and Sample of the Research The population of the research will be 108 students enrolled in the nursing program of a foundation university and taking the "Psychiatric Nursing" course in the fall semester of the 2022-2023 academic year. In the study, it is aimed to reach the entire universe, not selecting the sample. The students in the universe, who accepted to participate in the study and completed the pre-test, will be assigned to the intervention and control groups by randomization with the help of a generator on the www.random.org website by being numbered according to their order in the student list. Hypothesis: Students who use puzzle method in teaching psychiatric nursing have higher knowledge levels than students who do not.
The research was carried out as a randomized controlled experimental study in order to examine the effects of the child's pain, fear and parent's satisfaction before and after vascular access with a musical toy-xylophone, which is used as a distraction technique for the preparation of the 3-6 year old child hospitalized in the pediatric clinic.
Different non-pharmacological methods such as virtual reality glasses and music can be applied by nurses within the scope of care interventions for the management of pain and anxiety in burn patients during dressing changes and debridement. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of virtual reality and music on pain, anxiety and pain anxiety in burn patient care.
The aim of this study is to determine patient opinions and experiences about threshold electrical stimulation treatment applied to stroke patients.
Caudal block (CB) has been the method used for years to achieve adequate postoperative analgesia in pediatric patients, which is one of the main responsibilities of an anesthetist. CB, which has been proven to provide effective analgesia for many different indications, is the most commonly performed neuraxial block technique for postoperative pain control in urogenital surgeries. However, in the following years, truncal nerve blocks are recommended for postoperative analgesia by the literature both for more effective analgesia and for preventing complications of CB that may prevent early mobilization and prolong hospital discharge
This observational study was planned to determine the relationship between dietary antioxidant intake and thiol disulfide homeostasis of individuals with type 2 diabetes. One of the current approaches in medical nutrition therapy of diabetes is to increase the consumption of foods with high antioxidant content in order to strengthen antioxidant defense. Increased dietary antioxidant intake may have both protective and therapeutic effects by reducing the risk of diabetes and preventing complications that may occur. It is known that dynamic thiol disulfide balance can be a good indicator of antioxidant defense in individuals with diabetes, and there are limited studies on this subject.
It has been shown in previous studies that burst suppression has an effect on the development of postoperative delirium (POD) and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). With the development of technology, EEG-based anesthesia management is getting more and more attention. In particular, methods that reduce anesthetic drug consumption are expected to prevent POD and POCD by reducing burst suppression. There are studies that show that epidural analgesia applications reduce general anesthesia drug consumption in patients receiving general anesthesia. In this study, investigators want to investigate the effect of epidural analgesia combined with general anesthesia on burst suppression. POD and POCD development in these patients will be examined as secondary objectives.
The aim of this study, therefore, is to determine the effect of problem-solving training on the interpersonal problem-solving skills of mothers with special needs children. This study was a parallel randomized controlled trial. The mothers were sorted into control and experimental groups (40 experimental and 40 control groups). A personal information form and the Interpersonal Problem Solving Inventory (IPSI) were used to collect data in this research. The participants in the experimental group gived to problem solving training program while the control group was not exposed to any intervention.The data in the control and experimental groups were homogeneously distributed. There was no significant difference in the pre-training test scores for any of the dimensions , but the post-training test scores were significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group. Intragroup analysis with the Wilcoxon sign-rank test showed that there were significant differences between the pre-training and post-training test scores in the experimental group. Interpersonal problem-solving skills can be improved by providing problem-solving training to the mothers of children with special needs. Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that psychiatric nurses provide training to protect and improve the well-being of children with special needs and their families.
Chemotherapy is a treatment that uses natural or synthetic chemicals and biological agents to kill rapidly proliferating cells. As chemotherapeutic drugs prevent the growth and proliferation of cancer cells, they also inhibit the growth of normal cells such as intestinal and oral mucosal epithelium, bone marrow cells, and hair follicle cells. During chemotherapy treatment, which is widely used in the treatment of cancer cases and considered one of the most effective methods of cancer treatment, individuals; may experience side effects such as nausea-vomiting, loss of appetite, mouth ulcers, pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and changes in their skin and nails. There are several factors that can trigger anxiety in cancer patients: fear of cancer and its treatment-related side effects, fear of relapse after treatment, uncertainty, concerns about changing roles and relationships, and fear of death. Treatment methods are available for a variety of side effects and negative effects experienced by cancer patients. These methods include pharmacological and nonpharmacological approaches. For example, benzodiazepines are frequently used to treat anxiety in cancer patients. If benzodiazepines are not adequate, low-dose antipsychotics can be used. However, benzodiazepines and their derivatives may reduce respiratory function, induce sedation, and cause confusion. Music is an example of non-pharmacological cognitive-behavioral treatment that is used to control negative symptoms in many fields. The use of music for healing is easy, has no side effects, and is beneficial for physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Anxiety and fear can be reduced by therapeutic music, which increases endorphin secretion and positive emotions. Treatment of serious illnesses such as cancer requires a holistic approach that includes psychological, social, and spiritual support in addition to pharmacological treatment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine how different types of music affect cancer patients' anxiety and satisfaction during chemotherapy.
