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.
There are many factors that affect uroflowmetry parameters. One of these is the urination position. Research has mostly focused on standing and sitting urination positions. However, those who prefer the standing position as a habit can urinate by opening the zipper or lowering the trousers. Although the effect of these two applications on uroflowmetry parameters in healthy men has been investigated in only one study, their effect on patients with lower urinary tract symptoms has not been examined.
In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of diabetes complications training on endocrine system diseases and nursing care in the Internal Medicine Nursing course on the knowledge level of nursing students.
Today, rapidly developing technology and changing treatment and care conditions increase the tendency towards ethical values both as an intellectual concept and as a moral guide. The nursing profession, which focuses on people in ethical terms, is also performed by people. This situation brings with it many ethical dilemmas in areas where health care services are provided. In ICUs, long and critical treatments of patients, differences of opinion between the medical team and the institution, non-compliance with patient rights, difficulties in terminal patient care, procedures performed without the patient's consent, distribution of limited medical resources, unethical attitudes and attitudes of nurse colleagues, Many issues such as long-term exposure to stressors and constant alarm sounds can cause mental distress and negative emotions in intensive care nurses. One of the effective ways to increase the quality of care provided by nurses is humanistic practice ability. The presence of humanistic practice ability provides more realistic, human-centered nursing care, improves the quality of life of patients, and also positively affects health expenditures.
This study aimed to examine the effect of core endurance levels on upper extremity function, muscle strength and reaction time in healthy young adults. The "core" region functions as a connection point between the upper and lower extremities and enables the transfer of force from this region to the extremities. This region is a basic structure where the force required for all movements is generated and transmitted from the proximal segments to the distal segments. "Core" stabilization has a significant impact on limb functionality, and stabilization of the proximal segments is necessary to maintain the mobility and function of the distal segments. To establish a stable base during functional activities, the "core" muscles are activated before the upper and lower extremity muscles. This ensures force production and transfer of resulting forces, thus supporting the mobility of the distal segments. Increasing core stabilization increases force production in the extremities, and control of core strength, balance and movement maximizes upper and lower extremity functions. Any impairment in core stabilization reduces the quality of movement and increases the risk of injury to the upper extremity. Therefore, it has been stated that "core" stabilization has a significant effect on athletic performance and upper extremity functions. There are not enough studies in the literature investigating this effect in healthy young adults. Most existing studies focus on the role of core endurance on athlete performance. The aim of this study is not only to investigate core endurance levels in healthy young adults but also to examine the effect of core endurance levels on upper extremity function, muscle strength and reaction time.
Although the use of wetting solutions during high-volume liposuction is a standard approach, it is unclear how to optimize wetting solutions and components and their effect on postoperative complications.. Since the super-wet technique (aspiration of 1 cc per 1 cc of infiltrate) was introduced in 1986, it has become one of the most frequently applied techniques worldwide . Adrenaline and lidocaine are often added to WS due to their hemostatic and analgesic effects One of the major advantages of super-wet technique is that blood loss is quite low. However, potential cardiovascular side effects of WS and the amounts of epinephrine and lidocaine they contain, such as volume overload, local anesthetic toxicity, hypertension, arrhythmia, and tachycardia, are still a scoop of investigation. In this study, we examined the WS and the medications it contains from a different perspective to understand the possible cause of these adverse outcomes. Despite the most suitable candidates for liposuction are patients with a BMI<30 kg/m2 and low comorbidity and age, the patient group undergoing liposuction is often obese, and overweight individuals require that obesity-related pathophysiological changes be taken into consideration. Therefore, we analyzed the patients by dividing them into two groups according to the amount of WS applied according to their IBW (WS/IBW≤90ml/kg: group I and WS/IBW>90ml/kg: group I). In this study we aimed to evaluate the effect of wetting solutions and components calculated according to ideal body weight (IBW) on postoperative complications
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of listening to the voice recordings of relatives of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who were treated in the coronary intensive care unit on chest pain, anxiety and depression parameters of the patients. Methods In the study, which was conducted as a randomised, controlled, experimental study, voice recordings of the family members of the patients were created and played to the patients through a music pillow. The study was carried out with 60 patients, 30 experimental and 30 control groups. Three tests were applied to the patients 15 minutes before, 15 and 30 minutes after the application. The data of the study were collected using the "Patient Introduction Form", "Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale", "Visual Analogue Scale" and "Patient Follow-up Form".
Nurses are important members of the team in the provision of health services, which determine and help the health needs of the individual, family and society, while working towards the protection and development of health, as well as taking responsibility in therapeutic services. Nurses, who are permanent members of the professional health team, need to be trained with certain skills for effective nursing care while they are still in the education process. These skills are essential skills in practice, such as critical thinking, clinical decision making, communication, creativity, coping with stress, and problem solving. The education process consists of two parts, theoretical and practical, in order to develop these skills. Clinical practical training is the cornerstone of nursing education. Clinical practice helps to provide effective and quality care by increasing the psycho-motor skills, analysis ability and clinical decision-making skills of the student. In studies conducted with nursing students, it is seen that clinical practices are among the most important sources of stress. Considering the reasons for the stress they experience in practice; practice for the first time, fear of making mistakes, harming the patient, difficulty in making clinical decisions, communication with nurses, lecturers and friends, lack of information, and self-confidence problems. It is seen in the results of studies that students who experience stress in clinical practice have difficulty in decision making, decrease in their performance and self-confidence, decrease in professional career motivation, and a high tendency to make medical mistakes. Strategies for coping with stress are important when experiencing and managing stress. There are two types of coping strategies: problem-based and emotion-based. While problem-based coping aims to change the stressful event, the aim of emotion-based coping is to suppress and manage the emotions related to the stressful event. Stress mechanism and levels do not show effective results through problem-based coping alone. Emotion-based coping processes are also important. Orientation programs, simulation trainings, and laboratory practices with nursing students focus only on the knowledge level of clinical stress.There is also a need for studies on the emotional aspect of stress in the application areas. Being able to cope with stress effectively is important for students to benefit from the theoretical and clinical education they receive in a quality manner, to create a good experience and professional identity, and to develop effective coping behaviors.
This study was conducted to determine the effects of actively warming the patient and using warmed intravenous (IV) fluid during cesarean section on maternal and infant well-being
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of bruxism on mandibular movement capacity, cervical proprioception, posture and quality of life in adolescents diagnosed with nocturnal bruxism (clenching and grinding teeth while sleeping) between the ages of 13-18 and to compare them with healthy adolescents. Method: A total of 40 adolescents, 20 with nocturnal bruxism and 20 healthy, will be included in the study. Mandibular movement capacity will be evaluated with a caliper and ruler, cervical proprioception with a CROM device, posture with the New York Posture Scale, and quality of life with the PedsQL 13-18 age scale. Hypotheses: H1: Nocturnal bruxism reduces the movement capacity of the mandible in adolescents. H2: Nocturnal bruxism reduces cervical proprioception in adolescents. H3: Posture disorder increases in adolescents with nocturnal bruxism. H4: Nocturnal bruxism affects the level of daily life quality in adolescents.
Objective: To assess color and fluorescence changes in white spot lesions (WSLs) using different surface conditioning methods prior to resin infiltration: 24-months follow-up Methods: Thirty patients with each at minimum four WSLs after bracket debonding were included. After baseline fluorescence and color measurements, the lesions were randomly divided into four groups (n = 30): G1 (control): regular brushing, G2: 15% HCl gel (Icon Etch), G3: 37% H3PO4 gel (Scotchbond Etchant), G4: Er:YAG laser (Fotona AT Fidelis III). The lesions were desiccated with Icon Dry and then Icon Infiltrant (DMG) was applied. In the treatment groups, color and fluorescence were examined at baseline (T0), just after the resin infiltration treatment (T1), and after 6 (T2) and 24 months (T3). In the control group, the examinations were performed at baseline (T0) and after 6 (T2) and 24 months (T3).
