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 the research was to examine the effect of oral care bundle application on oral health, salivary pH (power of hydrogen), dry mouth and ventilator associated pneumonia in intubated patients compared to standard oral care.
Moral Distress (MD), also known as moral distress, was first defined by Jameton in 1984 as "the distress experienced by a person in situations where it is almost impossible to follow the correct course of action due to institutional constraints, despite knowing the correct action to take." Like all health professionals, nursing students can observe conflicts, ethical dilemmas, ethical and moral problems at the individual, clinical and managerial levels during clinical practice, and can even be directly involved in these problems. This study aimed to investigate the effect of MD on attitudes towards clinical practices in nursing students who have started to provide clinical experience. The study will be conducted with 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students studying in the nursing department of a university.
Objective: Rezūm vapor ablation is a minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) that uses injections of sterile water vapor directly into the prostate for tissue ablation. Although Rezūm is currently indicated for use in men with prostate sizes ≥30 and ≤80 ml, it is unclear how effective Rezūm is for men in urinary retention. The investigators sought to determine whether Rezūm is effective in the treatment of catheter-dependent urinary retention secondary to BPH.
Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of post-discharge training given via tele-nursing to elderly patients operated for hip fracture on the quality of life and functional independence levels of the patients.
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of breastfeeding training given with virtual reality (VR) to postpartum primiparous mothers on breastfeeding success and breastfeeding self-efficacy. Method: The research was designed as a prospective randomized controlled study. In total, 66 women were included in the study, with 31 in the control group and 35 in the intervention group. The intervention group watched a breastfeeding video with VR in the 4th and 24th hours after cesarean. Research data were collected with the sociodemographic information form, LATCH Breastfeeding Charting System and Documentation Tool and the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale. The study included mothers who gave birth with cesarean section, received breastfeeding counseling during pregnancy, with no vision or hearing disabilities and without any neurological disorder.
Interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome is a collection of symptoms that includes urinary urgency, urge incontinence, nocturia, and painful urination. Various treatment modalities are utilized in the management of the disease. Superior hypogastric plexus block, which is used in the treatment of chronic pelvic pain, is one of these treatment methods. Additionally, tibial nerve stimulation is used in the treatment of urinary symptoms. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of superior hypogastric plexus pulsed radiofrequency and adjunctive transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation in the treatment of patients with interstitial cystitis
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to examine the effectiveness of immersive virtual reality (IVR) and music on children's anxiety, fear, and pain levels during circumcision surgery. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: 1. Are immersive virtual reality and music interventions effective in reducing children's anxiety and fear levels during circumcision surgery? 2. Are immersive virtual reality and music interventions effective in reducing children's pain levels during circumcision surgery? There were three groups in the study: control group (n:24), immersive virtual reality group (n:24), and music group (n:24). The control group did not undergo any intervention and only the routine procedure of the clinic was performed. The participants in the immersive virtual reality group played an interactive video game. The participants in the music group listened to music of their preference.
The present study aimed to determine the effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment on serum and salivary SIRT-1, MMP-9, and T-SOD levels in periodontitis stage III grade B (P-III-B) and C (P-III-C) patients. 17 periodontally healthy, 16 P-III-B and 16 P-III-C subjects were enrolled. At baseline, serum and saliva samples were collected and the whole mouth clinical periodontal parameters were recorded. Periodontitis patients received non-surgical periodontal treatment. Clinical parameters were re-measured and samples were re-collected at 3 months after treatment. Serum and salivary SIRT-1, MMP-9, and T-SOD levels were analyzed by ELISA. Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate body composition, fatigue, mobility level, functional status in with stroke individuals. The main questions it aims to answer are: How is body composition affected in individuals with stroke? How is the level of fatigue affected in individuals with stroke? How is the mobility level affected in individuals with stroke? How is functional status affected in individuals with stroke? In this study, we included 21 patients with stroke and 21 healthy controls. The body composition of the participants was evaluated by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), fatigue level by Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), mobility level by Rivermead Mobility Index (RMI), and functional status by Functional Independence Scale (FIM).
Objectives: To compare the cast index and three-point index measurements obtained using computed tomography (CT) with those acquired using conventional methods for treating distal radius fractures Design: A retrospective cohort study Setting: Level 1 trauma center Patients: One hundred and thirteen (45 men and 68 women) patients with distal radius fractures Interventions: Patients with distal radius fractures were retrospectively analyzed and received either conservative cast treatment or surgical intervention through open reduction and internal fixation between 2016 and 2022. Main outcome measurements: The study evaluated the cast index and three-point index in the cast-treated group and their effectiveness using the Sarmiento index. Furthermore, radial height, volar tilt, and radial inclination were compared between the surgically treated and cast-treated groups.
