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.
Touch is an essential element in the healthy growth and development of the baby. Infant massage is the best way to touch babies. In line with the literature review on the subject, it has been reported that infant massage supports growth and development in infants, improves attachment between mothers and babies and decreases the level of depression and anxiety in mothers. With the coronavirus pandemic, quarantine decisions have been implemented all over the world. In addition to the stress brought on by their new roles, new mothers have to cope with the anxiety and stress of being a parent and babysitting during the pandemic period. During the pandemic process, it is seen that depression and anxiety levels increase in mothers who have given birth, and maternal attachment is negatively affected. Depression and anxiety in mothers negatively affect the cognitive, physical, social and emotional development of babies. It is very important to encourage practices that increase mother-infant interaction, such as infant massage, during the pandemic period. The universe of the research will consist of mothers and their babies who were followed up in İzmir Karşıyaka No. 8 Gülay Kaymak Family Health Center and Karşıyaka No. 4 Bostanlı-2 Family Health Center between May 2021 and May 2022. The sample of the study is 38-42. It is planned to create babies born in the 4th week of pregnancy, with a birth weight of over 2500 grams and who have completed their fourth week (one month old) (n:60).
This study aims to provide strong A-level evidence to the literature by supporting the maternal and fetal results of continuous midwife support together with saliva cortisol level measurements. As a result of this study, it is expected that women who receive intrapartum continuous midwife support and their babies have lower saliva cortisol levels than women in the control group, women who receive intrapartum continuous midwife support experience less fear, and women who receive intrapartum uninterrupted midwife support are expected to have lower intervention rates in their births. If the existing hypotheses are accepted, it is aimed to expand the practice of intrapartum continuous midwife support. Although pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum period are a physiological process, it is an important source of stress brought on by physical and hormonal changes for women's life. Uninterrupted midwife support in women who will give birth is associated with more vaginal births and fewer negative birth experiences. Uninterrupted midwife care also has higher female satisfaction, less intervention and lower maintenance costs. Therefore, evidence-based practices are needed to reduce the stress level of the woman during the intraparty period. In the study, the pregnancy diagnosis form will be applied by the researcher to the pregnant women in the experimental and control group between the 28th and 36th weeks of the outpatient clinic. Visual Analog Scale will be applied to determine the Wijma Birth Expectation/Experience (W-DEQ A) Scale and birth fear in order to determine the birth fears of pregnant women in the 28th-36th week. During outpatient checks, the first saliva cortisol samples will be taken by the scholar Meserret Aslan between 8:30 and 09:00 in the morning. By Bursiyer Meserret Aslan, six hours of online pregnancy training will be given to the pregnant women in the experimental group and uninterrupted midwife support will be provided during the intrapartum period. After birth, mother and newborn saliva cortisol samples will be repeated by the scholar Meserret Aslan within the first half hour of the postpartum from the experimental and control groups. Before postpartum discharge procedures take place between 24th and 72nd hours, a sample of mother and newborn saliva cortisol will be taken and stored under appropriate conditions (Refrigerator (2-8 °C) 4 Days) by Meserret Aslan, a scholar from the experimental and control groups. The Birth Experience Scale and the wijma birth expectancy/birth experience (W-DEQ B) scale will also be applied before discharge. The world health organization's maximum acceptable cesarean section rate is 53.1%. Turkey has the highest cesarean section rate among OECD countries. There are studies that show that continuous midwife support in childbirth is useful in reducing the rate of cesarean sections. In addition, it is foreseen that reducing the stress levels of women and their babies who are offered uninterrupted midwife support will contribute to the prevention of mental illness in the postpartum period, which is one of the most fragile periods for women's mental health. Intrapartum continuous midwife support, which will facilitate adaptation to the role of mother in the postpartum period, will also contribute to the mother and baby bonding that form the basis of mental health in the future life of the baby. This study is expected to contribute to improving maternal and infant health, as well as improving public mental health. Evidence-based information will be provided to investigate saliva cortisol levels and to demonstrate the importance of intrapartum continuous midwife support in reducing stress levels of women and their babies.
Low back pain is a health problem that causes clinical, social and economic losses all over the world and affects the majority of the population. More than 80% of adults in the general population experience low back pain at least once in their lifetime. Although the incidence of chronic low back pain is so high, 85% of these pains do not have a pathoanatomical cause and these pains are defined as non-specific chronic low back pain. Exercise therapy is the key to the conservative management of nonspecific chronic low back pain. Lumbar stabilization exercises based on the principle of motor control of core muscles have also become popular in rehabilitation programs for low back pain in recent years.The core region is the lumbopelvic region of the body. The aim of the stabilization exercises is to teach to use the neutral position of the lumbar region and to keep the load on the dynamic and static structures at the lowest level. Core stabilization training begins with teaching the contraction of the transversus abdominus, deep spinal and multifidus muscle.Then, these exercises are planned specifically for the person from immobile positions to movements positions, from simple movements to combined movements, from gross patterns to fine motor patterns, from symmetrical movements to asymmetric movements. These exercises can be developed specifically for the region and pathology with the functions of the muscles in the region of the pathology. The lumbar multifidus muscle is known to be an important stabilizer of the lumbar region. In addition, the cross-sectional area of the lumbar multifidus muscle has short, thick, dense muscle fibers compared to other lumbar region muscles.These dense muscle fibers are compressed in a small space and have a high mass.This morphology allows the lumbar multifidus muscle to produce great force in a small working area and makes the muscle ideal for stability. In addition, the position of the lumbar multifidus muscle between the vertebrae increases its importance for stability. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of core stabilization exercises on the cross-sectional area (CSA) and amount of adipose tissue of the lumbar multifidus muscle in adults with chronic low back pain using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and also to examine the effects of these exercises on pain, functionality and lumbopelvic stability.
This study was planned to investigate whether the wetness of surgical drapes (disposable and resusable drapes) used in the intraoperative period causes hypothermia.
The aim of this study is to reduce dental anxiety in children by using virtual reality glasses (VRG) with a special content and innovative interactive methods, to determine the level of stress experienced by patients during dental treatment and to ease the workload of dentists. Within the scope of the study, the participants being examined are in a controlled manner from the practice environment. They are attached a VRG and headphones throughout the treatment. With the help of VRG, it is ensured that participants are ready for the treatment. During the treatment, the participant's focus is on various contents in terms of spectacles. Contents include visual (video surveillance) and auditory stimuli (listening to music). They also provide information about treatment to the patient with the help of avatars (characters) and environmental elements that are placed into the VRG application. In addition, dental anxiety is reduced by the fun contents. The goal is to increase the rate of dental treatment success in child patients. The effectiveness of virtual reality system is tested by comparing evaluation metrics of three groups of children. In the first group, the dentist carries out the treatment alone. In the second group participants watch cartoons on a screen mounted dental unit during the treatment. In the third group, dental treatment is carried out with VRG. In the course of these experiments, the effects of VRG on dental treatment (vital pulpotomy and dental filling) that require local anesthesia is examined in order to measure the effects of VRG on the level of stress on dental treatment. Corresponding measures are; (1) the child's anxiety; (2) the child's pain perception during local anaesthesia and treatment; (3) the child's cooperation and general behaviour. The outcomes of the child's anxiety, pain perception, cooperation and general behaviour for three groups were evaluated by statistical analysis.
Sixty patients with stroke were applied a-24-item ICF Core Set for Stroke, Standardized Mini-Mental State Examination(SMMSE), Stroke Impact Scale Version(SIS), Rivermead Mobility Index(RMI) and Home Safety Checklist(HSCL). Spearman and Pearson correlation analysis was used to show the relation between the items of the scales and the ICF Core Set for Stroke items.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of dance therapy on balance, falling, body awareness and functionality parameters in patients with chronic low back pain. As a result of our study, it is thought that dance therapy will positively affect balance, falling, body awareness and functionality in patients with chronic low back pain compared to conventional therapy. H 1: Dance therapy improves balance in women with chronic low back pain. H 2: Dance therapy reduces the risk of falling in women with chronic low back pain. H 3: Dance therapy increases body awareness in women with chronic low back pain. H 4: Dance therapy increases functionality in women with chronic low back pain. H 5: Dance therapy provides more improvement in the parameters investigated compared to conventional therapy in women with chronic low back pain.
Many medical interventions, including dressing change of central venous catheters, can cause anxiety and pain in children with cancer. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of cartoon watching technique on anxiety and pain during central venous catheter dressing changes in children with cancer.
This research was planned to examine how unpredictable movements on the support surface will affect muscle activation and kinematic parameters in individuals with transtibial and transfemoral amputations. Individuals aged between 18-45 years, using prostheses for at least 1 year, able to stand and walk independently without a walking aid, and volunteered to participate in the study with unilateral transtibial and unilateral transfemoral amputation, and healthy individuals similar to these individuals in terms of age and gender will be included in the study.
This study aimed to determine the effects of laughter yoga on the psychological resilience and sleep quality of active nurses during the pandemic period. Initial stage of labor on randomized controlled birth outcomes and maternal satisfaction. A total of 100 nurses, determined by power analysis, were recruited into the randomized controlled, single-blind clinical study. The study included 2 groups (group A nurses who had active contact with patients diagnosed with or at risk of covid-19, group B: nurses who had active contact with patients diagnosed or at risk of covid-19 and participated in laughter yoga practice. Laughter yoga; immune system It has been proven by experimental studies that there is a connection between antibodies and endorphins, that it has a healing effect, that it accelerates the circulatory system as an adverse effect to stress, and that it has a vasodilation effect in the vessels.
