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.
This study was planned within the scope of the call titled "Non-communicable diseases risk reduction in adolescence and youth (Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases - GACD)" with identity number HORIZON-HLTH-2022-DISEASE-07-03. The purpose of this project; is to determine the effect of the Metaverse-Based Healthy Life Program to be developed in the project to support youths in decreasing future risks of developing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and in gaining healthy lifestyle behaviors (HLBs).
Cancer treatments usually include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, and/or a combination of these methods. These treatments cause many physical and psychological effects that interfere with functional independence, performing activities of daily living, and healthy quality of life. Mostly, depending on cancer and its treatment; Cognitive function, sleep pattern, functional capacity, pain state and bone mineral density are affected. Exercise compliance is the degree to which an individual's behavior is consistent with the health care provider's advice and treatment plan. According to the World Health Organization, compliance is "a measure of a person's behavior (such as following a recommended exercise program, monitoring drug intake, etc.). ) as a response to complying with recommendations deemed appropriate by health care professionals''. In the field of rehabilitation too, compliance is increasingly used in relation to the self-management of patients' health. It has been stated in the studies that the level of compliance with the recommended home exercise is generally low, which limits the benefits of exercise programs.
Our research is to evaluate the effect and applicability of the adolescent health promotion program, which includes multiple behavioral interventions, on physical activity, nutrition and mental health of hearing impaired adolescents living in the community.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of myofascial release techniques applied on the superficial anterior myofascial chain of the body on pain, functional status, posture, biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of myofascial tissues in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome. There will be two groups in this study. Each group will consist of 30 patients aged 25-50 years with patellofemoral pain syndrome. A total of 60 participants will take part in the study. Conventional physiotherapy will be applied to the control group, while myofascial release techniques will be applied to the experimental group in addition to conventional physiotherapy. Treatment programs will be applied to both groups 2 days a week for 6 weeks. Postural problems that can be seen in the superficial anterior myofascial chain line will be evaluated. These problems: forward head, q-angle, genu varum, genu valgum, foot postural problems and pelvic tilt. In addition to all these assessments, knee pain, lower extremity functionality and biomechanical properties of the anterior myofascial tissue will be evaluated.
Cerebral Palsy (CP) defines a group of permanent disorders in the development of movement and posture, which occur in the developing fetal and newborn brain, due to non-progressive disorders, leading to activity limitations. In addition to the traditional rehabilitation interventions used in upper extremity rehabilitation, a new treatment method, Action Observation Therapy (AOT), has been added recently with the discovery of the Mirror Neuron System. AOT; By watching the videos prepared, mirror neurons are activated and these activities are learned through imitation. Activation of mirror neurons strengthens voluntary motor movement by strengthening the affected nerve pathways or by creating alternative pathways. AOT is an easily applicable method as telerehabilitation because it is based on watching and replaying video recordings. Virtual Rehabilitation (VR); It is another treatment approach applied to improve the motor functions of children with CP and created with the contribution of developing technology. It has been reported that activities have a positive effect on motor learning due to their intense, task-oriented, active participation and high motivation. Within the scope of this thesis, the effect of AOT and VR to be applied at home, which has been on the agenda for upper extremity, on the trunk and upper extremity will be examined in detail and a contribution will be made to the literature.
If the bone mineral density of a patient with a diagnosis of osteopenia falls further, he develops osteoporosis.Menopause causes many changes in women's bodies in the form of vasomotor, sleep disorders, fatigue, aches and pains, altered cognitive functions, as well as genitourinary problems such as vaginal dryness, irritation, recurrent urinary tract infections. In the long term, inevitable changes occur in the musculoskeletal system. Osteoporosis, sarcopenia, postural dysfunction, regression in gait cycle, Loss of balance control and instability and increased risk of falling are the changes reported during this period. These mentioned effects negatively affect the quality of life of women. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship of bone mineral density with respiratory functions and exercise capacity in postmenopausal women.The second aim is to compare the respiratory functions and exercise capacities of postmenopausal women with osteopenia and osteoporosis.
The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation on respiratory tests and quality of life in patients with early and locally advanced NSCLC who received chemotherapy regardless of whether the investigators had undergone surgical treatment.
The feet, which are support surfaces, are adapted to the physiological relaxation and biomechanical changes that occur during pregnancy. In this adaptation, it has not been objectively clarified how the plantar fascia, which plays a very important role in maintaining the height of the plantar arch, undergoes a change. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the normative values of trimester-specific biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of the plantar fascia, which adapts to changes in foot structure during pregnancy.
Backround: Positive psychotherapy (PPT) divides conflicts into three. One of these conflicts is the key conflicts that occur frequently in daily life and arise from the unbalanced use of courtesy and honesty. Avoiding key conflicts depends on the balanced use of courtesy and honesty. Nursing students' balance of courtesy and honesty while communicating will reduce key conflicts and increase the level of effective communication skills. This is important in terms of making a significant contribution to the quality of nursing care. Objectives: This research was conducted to determine the effect of PPT-based kindness and honesty psychoeducation on the level of effective communication skills of nursing students. Design: The study is a randomized controlled, pretest-posttest design, and a single-blind study. Settings and participants: This research will conduct with 64 undergraduate nursing students who took a psychiatric nursing course. Methods: Students will divid into intervention and control groups by simple randomization method. "Personal information form and effective communication skills scale" will apply to the intervention and control groups. After the pre-measurements will apply, the intervention group received courtesy and honesty key (KMCI) psychoeducation for 5 weeks, and no intervention will apply to the control group. Afterwards, a post-test will apply to both groups. Key words: Positive psychotherapy, effective communication skills, nursing students, psychoeducation, courtesy and honesty.
Drugs with anticholinergic properties are widely prescribed in the elderly population, despite increasing evidence in the literature regarding side effects and adverse outcomes. As is known, many drugs have anticholinergic activity, which means that they block the binding of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to the muscarinic receptor. In this case, the occurrence of anticholinergic side effects becomes inevitable. Central effects such as cognitive impairment, dizziness, sedation, confusion or delirium, and peripheral effects such as dry mouth, dry eyes, constipation, urinary retention, and tachycardia begin to be seen in patients. Anticholinergic load refers to the cumulative effect of taking one or more drugs with anticholinergic activity. This cumulative effect is a strong indicator of cognitive and physical deterioration, especially in the elderly population. It is also associated with adverse outcomes such as falls, impaired functioning, and higher rates of hospitalization and death. Anticholinergic load scales include scales that facilitate the work of physicians used in clinical practice to predict anticholinergic side effects in humans. Although there are many different scales used at this point, one of the scales with the highest validity and reliability in recent studies are Anticholinergic cognitive burden scale (ACB) and Anticholinergic risk scale (ARS). To the best of our knowledge, we could not find any study on postoperative complications, length of hospital stay and mortality after cardiac surgery with these scales. Therefore, we aimed to examine the relationship between possible complications after cardiac surgery and anticholinergic load scales showing the cumulative effect of preoperative drugs.
