This research is a randomized controlled study conducted to examine the effect of standard patient simulation training in providing nursing students with the ability to care for individuals with dementia. The population of the research consisted of 100 students who were enrolled in the Nursing Faculty and took the "Psychiatric Nursing" course in 2020-2021 academic year. 84 students who were in the universe and completed the pre-test were randomly assigned to the experimental groups that received simulation training and the control groups that did not receive simulation training. The study was completed with 36 students in the experimental group and 35 students in the control group. Research data were collected with "Personal Coding System and Scale Cover Document", "Structured Student Information Form", "Dementia Information Test", "Case Study Form for Individuals Diagnosed with Dementia", "Standardized Mini Mental Examination", "Communication Skills Evaluation Form", Nursing Diagnosis Detection Skill Form" and "Modified-Simulation Effectiveness Tool".
Today, one of the frequently used scales in the evaluation of foot problems is the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Association Scale. AOFAS has been prepared with the American society in mind and its original version is in English. This limits the application of AOFAS to non-English speaking patients. The aim of study is to investigate the cross-cultural adaptation, reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the AOFAS Midfoot Scale.
Gynecological cancers negatively affect women's sexuality, fertility, body image, and self-perception, resulting in deterioration in their psychological health. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of logotherapy on traumatic stress symptoms, post-traumatic growth, finding meaning in life, and spiritual well-being in gynecological cancer patients. No research has yet been found that examines logotherapy's symptoms of post-traumatic stress, post-traumatic growth, the meaning of life, and the spiritual well-being of gynecological cancer patients. The study was conducted in a single-blind randomized controlled trial with 68 women with gynecological cancer. The study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov NCT… While logotherapy interviews including seven sessions were made in the experimental group, only routine nursing care was given to the control group. The data were collected using the Personal Information Form (PIF), the Traumatic Stress Symptom Scale (TSSS), the Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ), and the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS). To analyze the data, descriptive statistics and parametric-nonparametric tests were used in the analysis of the data.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is associated with hyperandrogenism, hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance starting in the perimenarchal period. Insulin resistance also increases the risk of developing glucose intolerance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disorders. Studies on adult women with PCOS show that their aerobic capacity is affected. Therefore, in this study; it was aimed to compare the physical and cardiovascular fitness levels of adolescent PCOS patients with healthy adolescents.
There are currently no standard criteria for evaluating the risk of recurrent disk herniation following surgical repair. This study investigated the predictive values of five presurgical imaging parameters, paraspinal muscle quality, annular tear size, Modic changes, modified Pfirrmann's disc degeneration grade, and presence of sacralization or fusion. Clinical status and MRI findings were evaluated before surgery and 4, 12, and 24 months post-surgery using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and Short Form 36 (SF36).
Aim: This study was conducted to determine the effect of nursing care practices on the Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) levels of premature infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Materials and Method: This is a cross-sectional, analytical study. It was conducted over the period March 1 - April 26, 2019 in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Eskişehir Osmangazi University (ESOGU) Health Practices and Research Hospital. We did not calculate sample size, but included in the study, after the parents had been informed about the research, the entire universe of neonates in the NICU who matched the inclusion criteria during the period March 1 - April 26, 2019. The study was completed with 40 neonates. Data collection was performed with a "Descriptive Data Form," and a "Procedures Performed Chart." The data were evaluated with the IBM SPSS 24 package program.
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction stabilizes the knee joint biomechanically and returns the patients back to the sportive activities. Numerous techniques exist to perform an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery. Remnant- preserving reconstruction technique is performed to increase surgery success rates and to accelerate the post-surgical return to sport process. In general, there is no consensus regarding the clinical outcomes of remnant-preserving anterior ligament reconstruction over standart procedure. The purpose of this study is to compare the patients who had remnant-preserving anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with healthy controls in terms of muscle strength and proprioception.
This randomized controlled study evaluate the effect of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program on the state-trait anxiety, hopelessness, self-compassion and care burden of the families of psychotic patients. The hypothesis of this study is that the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program improves the state-trait anxiety, hopelessness, self-compassion and care burden of the families of psychotic patients.
This study which was planned to investigate the factors affecting m. erector spinae (ES), m. multifidus (MF), m. psoas major (PM) and m. quadratus lumborum (QL), which stabilize the lumbar region in the case of disc herniation. In this study, the effects of disc herniation, herniation severity, age, and spinal biomechanics were investigated.
