This study aimed to evaluate the effects of lip numbness on the nutritional status and speech of patients who underwent inferior nerve lateralization for dental implant placement in the mandibular posterior region. For this purpose, observational follow-up of two groups of patients will be performed. The control group will include patients with standard implant placement in the mandibular posterior region. The test group will consist of patients with implant placement in the mandibular posterior region with inferior alveolar nerve lateralization. The patients will be evaluated before implant surgery and followed up for four months until the final prosthesis is placed. Changes in nutritional status, masticatory performance and speech abilities will be assessed during this process.
Objective: Migration status is one of the most important factors affecting perinatal mental health. National and international organizations emphasize the need to improve perinatal mental health. This research was planned as a pretest-posttest control group experimental model in order to determine the effect of midwifery education based on Pender's Health Promotion Model on the perinatal mental health of migrant women under the leadership of midwives. Materials and Methods: The population of this study, which will be conducted in randomized controlled experimental type, will be Syrian immigrant pregnant women living in Seyhan district. The number of samples will be calculated by G*power analysis, and 52 participants in the experimental group and 52 participants in the control group will be included. Single-blind random assignment and block randomization will be used to avoid selection bias. The research will be conducted in the form of pre-test and post-test. The pre-test will be applied during the pregnancy period before the education and the post-test will be applied in the postpartum period after the education. 3 modules of training on perinatal mental health will be given to the experimental group in order to eliminate the lack of knowledge of women and to raise awareness. The control group will be left to routine clinical care. Data; Introductory Information Form, Perinatal Mental Health Education Evaluation Form, Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale and Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale will be collected. Statistical Program for Social Science 22 will be used in data analysis. The independent variable of the research is perinatal mental health education based on Pender's Health Promotion Model. The dependent variable is the introductory characteristics of women, questions about perinatal mental health education, anxiety and depression levels. The data will be analyzed with appropriate analysis methods after performing normality tests.

Women participants with fibromyalgia randomized to an intervention or comparison group. Intervention group will exercise via telehealth system under supervision. Comparison group will exercise alone at home. Researchers will compare the effects of supervised telehealth exercise program and home exercise on pain, symptoms, and cardiopulmonary fitness level of patients with fibromyalgia.
This study evaluates the effect of a web-based mobile health application for patients with liver cirrhosis (ReLiver-N App) developed for enhancing patients' activation on the level of patient activation, self-efficacy, and quality of life. To manage liver cirrhosis after discharge, patients must continue to do some interventions at home like weight measurement, edema evaluation, and taking medications. To achieve this, the patient's activation level should be enhanced and that can contribute to hepatic rehabilitation. It would be beneficial to develop a web-based mobile health application for patients with liver cirrhosis that can enhance patient activation levels. The investigators developed the ReLiver-N App based ADDIE which is instructional design framework and created its contents of it. Our content includes about us, patient education information about liver cirrhosis, patient activity skills and measuring tools. Ten experts evaluated the quality of the content and the investigators conducted a feasibility test with three patients to assess the usability of the ReLiver-N App. A single-blind randomized controlled trial design will be applied. Patients with liver cirrhosis will be pretested and randomized (intervention (ReLiver-N App): 26, active control: 26) to the ReLiver-N App group and active control group. Both the ReLiver-N App group and active control group will use the ReLiver-N App for three months. While participants in the ReLiver-N group can reach all content of the ReLiver-N App. Participants in the active control group will have access to "about us", "patient activity skills", and "measuring tools" in the ReLiver-N App. Patient education information about liver cirrhosis will be encrypted.
This study is an interventional type three-group randomized controlled non-drug clinical trial aimed at targeting the acute pain content and anxiety level of aromatherapy arm treatment with a sesame oil and sesame lavender oil mixture performed with Simple Mastectomy (BM) / Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM). It constitutes a total of 66 patients with the power to represent the universe. However, considering the losses that may occur during the study process, it was decided that it would be appropriate to include 90 patients, 36% more than the sample. Individuals receiving arm massage with sesame oil (Group I), individuals performing arm massage with sesame-lavender oil mixture (Group II), and individuals performing arm massage with paraffin oil (Group III) constitute the research groups. After obtaining the informed written consent of the participants who agreed to participate in the study, the randomization list created from the computer-based random numbers table will be used with the block randomization method to assign an equal number of people to all three groups. In the preoperative period, patients will be given an allergic sensitivity (patch) test of the oils to be used in the study to Groups 1 and 2, massage training will be given to all groups with the show-and-have method in the pre-operative period, a massage application brochure and video will be given, and information will be given on how to fill out the follow-up forms. H1: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with sesame oil reduces the severity of acute arm pain compared to massage with paraffin oil.H2: After simple mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces the severity of acute arm pain compared to massage with paraffin oil.H3: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with sesame oil reduces anxiety levels compared to massage with paraffin oil.H4: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces anxiety levels compared to massage with paraffin oil.H5: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces the severity of acute arm pain compared to massage with sesame oil.H6: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces anxiety levels compared to massage with sesame oil.
Transient tachypnea of newborn (TTN) causes 42.5%-60% of non-infectious respiratory distress cases in newborns, it is seen in only 1% of all newborns. In the etiology of TTN, it results from the inability to effectively clear the fetal lung fluid immediately after birth. The most known risk factors of TTN are; prematurity, malpresentation, abnormal birth, premature rupture of the membrane, meconium aspiration, fetal distress, multiple pregnancy, male gender, and low Apgar score. TTN; It typically occurs in term and late preterm newborns within the first two hours of life. For the diagnosis of TTN, respiratory rate >60/min in the first 6-12 hours shows signs of groaning and retraction and improve spontaneously within a few days with 40% or less supportive oxygen therapy. However, in some rare cases, prolongation of symptoms, noninvasive mechanical ventilation support [nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP), nonsynchronized nasal intermittent mandatory ventilation (NIMV)] and in some cases invasive (intubated) mechanical ventilation may be required. Reducing pain and stress in mechanically ventilated infants is important for the prevention of complications that may occur in the future-early period and for recover process. While providing standard health care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), sources of pain and stress should be identified and controlled. It is necessary to minimize the interventions that will cause pain and stress and to ensure that the newborn copes with the pain. In order to relieve pain and stress, various pharmacological (opioid, non-opioid analgesics) and non-pharmacological (breast milk, pacifier, kangaroo care, flexion posture, swaddling etc.) within the framework of family-centered care and individualized developmental care methods should be used. Pain control is a priority in neonatal nursing care, and it is the nurses; responsibility to select and implement a non-pharmacological intervention to reduce the level of pain. A limited number of studies have been found examining the effects of therapeutic touch and mothers voice on pain and comfort level in newborns, as a behavioral intervention, on relieving stress of body positioning in premature newborns who underwent nCPAP. There was no study found that the swaddling method applied during the procedure in patients followed up on nCPAP had an effect on reducing the stress level of newborns.
Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of half swaddle and kangaroo care practices initiated in the early period in preterm infants on breastfeeding, mother-infant attachment, maternal sleep quality and postpartum depression. Design: The prospective, randomized controlled study
