The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve block, fascia iliaca compartment block, and femoral block on the quality of recovery as part of multimodal analgesia before hip surgery under spinal anesthesia.
Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is an endoscopic procedure performed to investigate conditions affecting the stomach, liver, and bile ducts, as well as for therapeutic interventions. The complexity of EUS can vary significantly, with increased complexity affecting procedure duration, technical success, and the occurrence of adverse events. For the comfort of patients and the success of the procedure, these interventions are typically performed under anesthesia with procedural sedation. To enhance the success rate of the procedure, reduce the risk of side effects, and maximize patient comfort, EUS is generally performed under sedation according to the recommendations of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA). During sedation, the aim is for the patient to be more relaxed and comfortable while maintaining spontaneous respiratory function. Preserving spontaneous respiratory parameters is crucial for procedural safety.
Natural disasters can have adverse impacts on both physical and mental health. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and sleep disorders are among the most common problems seen after natural disasters. Exercise may represent a safe, cost-effective, accessible, non-pharmacological method for treating PTSD and sleep problems. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of exercise interventions on PTSD and sleep quality in young individuals affected by the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes in Türkiye.
Summary: Background One of the most important roles of psychiatric nurses, who help individuals, families and society in promoting health, preventing diseases and coping with problems, is their educational role. With its educational role, the nurse can help the patient and their family function at the best level in biopsychosocial integrity in preventing and coping with diseases through psychoeducation. Goals This research was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of psychoeducational training given to nurses working in a psychiatric clinic. Design This research is a randomized controlled experimental study. Participants Participants were determined using simple randomization. The sample of the study consisted of 78 nurses (intervention = 39; control = 39) working in a psychiatric clinic in a city hospital in Turkey. Methods Groups were determined using the simple randomization method. Psychoeducational training was given to the intervention group, nurses working in the Psychiatry clinic, for a total of 4 sessions, with two sessions of 50 minutes each. The data of the research were collected with the ;Personal Information Form; Form for evaluating the knowledge level of nurses working in the psychiatry clinic regarding psychoeducation and Perception of Adequacy Scale in Psychoeducation Program Development and Implementation. Data were analyzed using independent samples t test and two-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA).
One of the nonpharmacologic interventions included in the NIC-Nursing Interventions Classification is the use of stress balls. Stress balls are one of the cognitive distraction methods used especially in reducing pain and increasing the comfort level of patients. On the other hand, there are studies showing that stress balls have a positive effect not only on pain but also on vital signs, anxiety and comfort level of the patient.
This randomised controlled study evaluates the effect of a training programme based on the Health Promotion Model developed for parents of children diagnosed with epilepsy on parents' level of knowledge about epilepsy, parents' general self-efficacy level, parents' health promoting and protective behaviours and the number of hospital admissions of their children. The hypothesis of this study is that education has an effect on these.
In this retrospective study, we aimed to detect of effects of ERCP on outcomes of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Patients underwent elective cholecystectomy surgery with a diagnosis of symptomatic cholelithiasis were identified and divided into two main groups regarding to have a ERCP procedure prior to surgery or not. To eliminate possible differences in baseline characteristics, patients in ERCP and non-ERCP groups were propensity score-matched 1:1 using nearest-neighbor matching without replacement based on age, sex and ASA score. Following propensity score matching (PSM), the ERCP and non-ERCP groups were first compared to detect effects of the ERCP procedure itself. After comparison of two main groups, subgroup analyzes performed for the ERCP group to detect effect of ERCP-related variables (indication for ERCP procedure, time between last ERCP procedure and surgery, number of preoperative ERCPs, stone extractions, and biliary stent use)
This study was conducted in a randomized controlled experimental type to determine the effect of maternal voice during care on pain and comfort level in term newborns receiving mechanical ventilation. The sample of the study was consisted of 60 term newborns receiving mechanical ventilation who were hospitalized in the 7-bed Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a private hospital in Istanbul in accordance with the selection criteria. Introductory Information Form, Vital Signs Follow-up Form, Neonatal Comfort Behavior Scale and Neonatal Pain Scale (NPASS) forms prepared by the researchers were used as data collection tools.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of using peanut balls during labor on labor memory, labor satisfaction, labor length, and neonatal APGAR scores.
