Researchers thought that the molecules Sfrp-5, Resistin and Netrin-4, which will be examine, they may have a significant effect on weight gain during pregnancy. Based on these foundations, researchers expect changes in the levels of these molecules in women who gain excessive weight during pregnancy. In this study, researchers aimed to examine the moderator relationship between the molecules will be examine and weight gain in women who gained weight above the normal limits determined during pregnancy. For this reason, 44 participant who gained excessive weight during pregnancy and 46 pregnant participant who gained normal weight were included in the study. The levels of Netrin-4, Sfrp-5 and Resistin molecules in the blood serum of the individuals in the study group were measured with a Commercial Elisa kit.
Methods: The study was carried out as a quasi-experimental study in the Pediatric Surgery Clinics of a university hospital using the "Pre-Test-Post-Test Model in a Single Group". The sample of the study consisted of all high-risk drugs administered by 24 nurses working in these clinics, taking part in medication and agreeing to take part in the study. Data were collected by the researcher using the Medication Observation Form. The Form was created based on the literature, and by making use of the "10 Correct Rules in Medication" and the Medication Skills Steps in the Double Eye Control Program. In the first step, medication error rates were determined through observation method. In the second step; the Web-Based Double-Eye Control Program, which is a standard drug dose calculation and medication program created by the researchers, was started to be implemented. Medication error rates were determined again through post-intervention observation method. Informed voluntary consent, ethics committee and hospital permissions were obtained for the implementation of the study.
Pediatric nurses have a key role in reducing pain related to interventions during the hospitalisation process. In this context, according to the type of invasive intervention, the nurse determines the appropriate non-pharmacological methods for the effective management of pain, taking into account the child's individuality, developmental stage and clinical presentation. For children during the hospitalisation process, the removal of a peripheral venous line is a painful and stressful experience, as is the insertion of a peripheral venous line. Children experience acute pain during the removal of hypoallergenic adhesives used for fixation of the peripheral venous line. The practice guideline recommends the use of alcohol-free silicone-based aerosol sprays for the removal of medical adhesive/ fixation materials (NICU Brain Sensitive Care Committee, 2015). In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of ball squeezing (active distraction) as a distraction method and the use of alcohol-free silicone-based aerosol adhesive remover spray on pain and fear in children aged 6-9 years during peripheral intravenous cannula removal.
Active and passive distraction methods are frequently used in the nursing management of procedural pain in children. There are no studies comparing the effects of watching cartoon (passive) and playing game (active) as distraction methods on pain and fear associated with peripheral intravenous cannula placement in children aged 6-9 years. This study aimed to compare the effects of playing game (active distraction) and watching cartoon (passive distraction) techniques on pain and fear during peripheral intravenous cannula placement in children aged 6-9 years.
The primary aim of this study is to investigate the effects of different types and durations of gastrocnemius stretching on the viscoelastic properties of the gastrocnemius muscle, Achilles tendon, and plantar fascia.In addition, pain threshold of the gastrocnemius muscle and plantar fascia, as well as on hamstring tightness will be measured.
According to a news published by the World Health Organization (WHO); More than 2.3 million cases of breast cancer occur each year, making it the most common cancer among adults. In 95% of all countries, breast cancer is the first or second cause of female cancer death. In 2020, 2.3 million women worldwide were diagnosed with breast cancer and 685,000 deaths occurred. In Turkey, breast cancer ranks first among the most common cancer types in women, and the number of breast cancer cases in women in 2020 was recorded as 74 638. As a result of this situation, WHO (2023) published the Global Breast Cancer Initiative Framework to save 2.5 million lives from breast cancer by 2040. This published framework includes health promotion for early detection, timely diagnosis and comprehensive management of breast cancer. One of the most effective ways to reduce breast cancer mortality and morbidity rate is early diagnosis. It is important to determine early diagnosis and signs and symptoms of cancer before they appear. Early diagnosis of breast cancer is possible with breast self-examination (BSE), clinical breast examination and mammography. Breast self-examination is an important examination method in terms of detecting changes in breast tissue and preventing subsequent complications. It is also an easy-to-apply, cheap and non-invasive method. In Turkey, it is recommended that women regularly perform breast self-examination every month after the age of 20, women between the ages of 20 and 40 should have a clinical breast examination every two years, and women between the ages of 40 and 69 should have a clinical breast examination every year and have a mammogram every two years. There are studies showing that fear of breast cancer has a positive and negative impact on early diagnosis behaviors. Champion et al. (2004) stated that women with moderate breast cancer fear had a high rate of early detection behavior, whereas low and high fear levels had a negative effect on behavior. In the study conducted by Yavan et al. (2010) on 188 women, 2% of the women. They found that 3 of them had regular BSE and 78.7% of them had never had a mammography. In addition, 85% of the women included in the study stated that they had a fear of breast cancer due to a family history of breast cancer, being diagnosed with breast cancer, and the presence of risk factors. Study results show that fear of breast cancer affects screening results. Therefore, aim in the study is; To determine the effect of breast cancer and BSE training given to women on breast cancer fear and BSE skills.
The European Code Against Cancer contains 12 recommendations to reduce the risk of cancer. It is estimated that about half of all cancers could be prevented if all recommendations are followed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Program of Health Behaviour Against Cancer (PHeBAC) applied to mothers of children with intellectual disabilities in increasing the participation of mothers and their children with intellectual disabilities in cancer screenings and their health behaviors against cancer. The goal is to improve the preventive health behaviors of children with intellectual disabilities and their mothers against cancer and to increase the rate of participation in cancer screenings. Specific targets are; not smoking and not being exposed to smoking, increasing physical activity, healthy nutrition, limiting alcohol consumption, protection from sunlight, HPV vaccination and increasing participation in breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screenings.
