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.
Background: Reducing the perception of labour pain is important to reduce the negative consequences of labour pain and to increase women's satisfaction with the birth experience. Two-dimensional (2D) images (Stereogram) that create the three-dimensional (3D) perception in the mind may be effective in reducing the perception of labour pain. Objectives: This study is conducted for purpose of determining the effect of focus on the birth-specific stereogram cards (BSSC), on perception of labour pain. Methods: This research is an experimental prospective randomized controlled clinical study. The research was conducted at the delivery room of a state hospital in Istanbul. Pregnant women, who agreed to participate in the study and met the study criteria, were included in the study, as 30 ones were in the experimental group (BSSC group) and 30 ones were in the control group. The Pregnancy Data Form, State Anxiety Scale, BSSC, • PRS Review Comments Visual Analog Scale(VAS), Postpartum Data Form were used as data collection tools. The BSSC in birth are designed by researchers and are created using the stereogram creator program. BSSC's 10 cards set with different patterns and silhouettes on the background. The analyses were performed, using SPSS software version 20. KEY WORDS: Birth, Labour pain, Birth-specific stereogram cards, Stereogram card, Focus on birth.
The research is a pre-post-test observation study without a control group, aiming to determine the effect of the training given to nurses on the knowledge and practices of brachial artery blood pressure measurement.
This research, a quasi-experimental study based on the comparison of the pre-test and post-test results of individuals in a single group is conducted to raise awareness about cervical cancer in women aged 18-65 years. The questionnaire includes 32 questions about the individual's socio-demographic characteristics, pregnancy, and sexual life information, cervical cancer, pap-smear test, and HPV vaccine information, as well as a 27-item 3-point likert type to measure cervical cancer risk factors, symptoms, and prevention. A survey form consisting of 61 questions, consisting of 2 questions and 2 guestions for evaluating the animated training video, and an informative animated training video of 4 minutes and 33 seconds constituted the data collection tools. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the study has completed with 433 people who participated voluntarily by directing the participants via online platforms (WhatsApp / Instagram / E-mail) using the snowball sampling method of survey applications. The women who participated in the research completed the first part by watching the informative animated training video at the end of the questionnaire form.
Novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus, was first reported in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The disease has spread to many countries in a few weeks and has become a global public health problem. By 2022, the virus has infected more than 500 million people worldwide and caused more than 6 million deaths. Case fatality rates (CFR) are an important index that helps to understand the epidemiological characteristics of an epidemic. In the data coming in 2020, COVID-19 CFR values were generally reported in the range of 0.001-0.706. However, from 2019 to 2022, there were 2 major changes that could affect the CFR of the disease. The first of these is vaccine applications, and the second is the new variants of SARS-CoV-2, which appeared first. From 2019 to 2022, it is likely that there will be a change in the mortality of COVID-19 in relation to both the vaccines administered and the new variants emerging. However, the data on this subject are not clear yet and more studies are needed. The aim of this study is to determine whether there is a change in the mortality of COVID-19 from 2019, when it first appeared, to 2022.
The aim of our study was to compare the effectiveness of active and passive practices in patients with CVI.
This prospective observational study aimed to investigate whether there is a relationship between weight, height, BMI, abdominal circumference (AC), hip circumference (HC), and AC-to-hip ratio with the incidence of hypotension in patients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the progression-free survival (PFS) between sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (SG) versus treatment of physician's choice (TPC) in participants with previously untreated, locally advanced, inoperable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer whose tumors do not express programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) or in participants previously treated with anti-programmed cell death (ligand or protein) 1 (Anti-PD-(L)1) Agents in the early setting whose tumors do express PD-L1.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the progression-free survival (PFS) between sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (SG) and pembrolizumab versus treatment of physician's choice (TPC) and pembrolizumab in participants with previously untreated, locally advanced inoperable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, whose tumors express programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1).
In our study, it is aimed to evaluate the cardiac rhythms of patients who are decided to receive inpatient treatment in the physical therapy and rehabilitation clinic due to any neuromusculoskeletal diseases with 24 hour rhythm holter follow up on the day of hospitalization and three weeks after hospitalization and to determine the factors that may affect this result if a significant change is observed between the two measurements.The present results will guide the determination of the exercise duration, intensity, type and severity of the exercises to be created within the scope of the treatment programs of the patients and will lead to similar studies.
Trunk rotation and distortion of the rib cage, which are common in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, result in abnormal configuration of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles. This reduces the capacity of the respiratory muscles to produce force, and results in respiratory muscle weakness. The diaphragm, which is the major respiratory muscle, is also a component of the core muscles responsible for postural stability. Therefore, diaphragm muscle weakness results in deterioration of postural stability. Our aim in this study is to investigate the effect of inspiratory muscle training added to the routine scoliosis exercise program on postural stability and posture perception.
