Cerebral palsy (CP) is a movement and posture disorder accompanied by sensory, perception, cognition, communication and behavioral disorders that cause activity limitations by causing various non-progressive disorders of the fetal or infant brain. Spastic CP, according to the affected area in the body; It is classified as hemiparetic, diparetic and is observed most frequently. Diparetic CP, on the other hand, is characterized by significant spasticity in the pelvis and lower extremities, mild hypertonus or spasticity in the upper extremities, and incoordination, mostly involving the lower extremities and some upper extremities.Although lower extremity involvement is observed in different degrees in children with diparetic CP, studies showing how upper extremity and hand functions are affected are insufficient.The aim of this study is to compare the effect of upper extremity functional skills on quality of life and participation levels in children with diparetic CP with their healthy peers.
Simulation education has become one of the innovative educational approaches that are widely used in providing nursing students with knowledge, skills, and attitudes towards vocational courses. Simulation education provides students with the opportunity to combine their knowledge and skills and provide nursing care in a high-reality environment. However, the fact that simulation training is a method that requires the student to recognize a clinical event, make a clinical decision, and intervene with the patient in line with this decision may cause students to experience anxiety and affect their learning. Although there are limited studies conducted on nursing students, it is stated that new approaches such as laughter yoga are effective in reducing anxiety and stress levels. In this direction, this research; In this study, it was planned to investigate the effectiveness of laughter yoga in terms of reducing the anxiety experienced by nursing students during simulation training and increasing their learning satisfaction. The universe of the research will be the second-year students of Hacettepe University Faculty of Nursing. As a result of the power analysis, it is aimed to reach 54 people. The study was planned in a randomized controlled design. Research data will be collected through Personal Information Form, State Anxiety Scale, Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale, Perceived Stress Scale for Nursing Students, and Students' Vital Findings Evaluation Form. With this study, it is predicted that laughter yoga to be applied to nursing students before simulation training will have a positive effect on state anxiety, student satisfaction, and perceived stress level.
Pre-hospital emergency health workers, who are on the front line among healthcare workers, are at greater risk in epidemic situations, as they are the first team to come into contact with the patient and are responsible for making necessary interventions by staying in close contact with the patient during the transfer process (1, 2). Health workers need to improve their knowledge, attitudes and skills during the pandemic process; on the other hand, they experience mental and communicative problems more strikingly. It is essential to increase the continuity of development, mental resilience, and communication of healthcare professionals(3). A randomised controlled study was planned to prepare a training program to improve pre-hospital emergency health workers' knowledge, attitudes, and skills about pandemic preparations and evaluate its effectiveness. The intervention study was conducted among pre-hospital emergency health workers in Eskişehir between July 2020 and December 2021. Ethics committee approval and administrative permissions were obtained. In the study, when the type 1 (α) error was 5%, and the type 2 error (1-β) was 95%, the effect size was accepted as 0.5, and it was calculated with the G*Power 3.1 statistical program that there should be at least 47 people in the groups. The study population consists of paramedics and emergency medical technicians(EMT) (N=420) in Eskişehir city, Turkey. Each participant in the study population was given a score by propensity score matching analysis according to age, gender, occupational group (paramedic and EMT), working time (year) variables. The study list was arranged according to the initials of their surnames, and the drawing method was used while assigning those with similar scores to four groups (experimental 1, experimental 2, control 1, control 2). Four groups, two interventions and two controls, were included in the study. The work consisted of five stages: 1. Determining the needs in education, 2. Development of educational materials, 3. Making pre-training measurements, 4. Implementation of the training program, 5. Performing post-training measurements. As a result of the evaluation, the subjects that healthcare professionals need to train were determined as knowledge, attitude, skills, infection control measures, communication skills, psychological resilience and attitudes of healthcare professionals to the patient in a simulated case and pandemic. The appropriate data collection form was chosen after the training program's content was determined. Before the intervention, the first measurements were taken via the COVID-19 knowledge, attitude, skills, and perceived barriers to infection control questionnaire, the communication competence scale, the psychological resilience scale, and the data collection form, including the simulated case approach. After the training program's content was determined, training was given to the intervention group with a video screening and the control group with the classical training method. After the training program, a post-test was applied after a four-week follow-up.
Aims and objectives: The aims of this study is to determine the effect of incentive spirometry on arterial blood gas and venous oxygen saturation and vital signs, in addition to pulmonary rehabilitation care before and after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The objectives; were to accelerate the healing process by reducing pulmonary complications. Background: Nurses, who carry much of the responsibility for the basic care of patients surgery play a highly important role. As a result of strong care, the recovery process of the patients will be accelerated, the hospitalization period will be shortened and morbidity and mortality will be prevented. Design and Methods: Included in this randomized controlled study were 32 patients who underwent coronary arterial bypass graft surgery (16 in experimental group; 16 in control group) in a university hospital. Incentive spirometry is applied in the study along with an identified inspiration technique and an expiration technique that has not been previously encountered in literature. The preoperative measured values of the patients were compared with the arterial blood gas and venous oxygen saturation values and vital signs on the first, second and third postoperative days. In this study, the CONSORT checklist was followed.

It was planned to include 45 individuals in the study. Participants will be randomly divided into 3 groups. Horizontal jumping distance, T-Drill test and balance assessment will be done for all participants. After the evaluation, percussion massage therapy will be given to the 1st group, dynamic stretching exercises to the 2nd group, and static stretching exercises to the 3rd group. All measurements will be repeated after the intervention.
The experimentally planned research was carried out between the dates of 01.06.2021-10.11.2021 with the students of ……………. Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nursing. The students, whose informed consent form was obtained beforehand, were provided to fill in the Participant Diagnosis Form and the Basic Life Support Information Evaluation Form questioning their demographic characteristics before the education. Afterward, with the e-learning method (Perculus 3 Virtual Classroom), the students have given Basic Life Support training in accordance with the AHA 2020 guidelines through a Powerpoint presentation. After the training, the information evaluation form was filled in again by the students in an electronic environment. Afterward, the students were shown how to make a Basic Life Support manikin with a pillow and plastic pet bottle, and the CPR performance was explained with the manikin. The students who made the performance in the home environment made a video recording and uploaded the videos they took to the system within 1 day. Two researchers who are experts in their fields made the video evaluations according to the basic life support performance evaluation form. Later, in the online debriefing session, the pros and cons of the training were discussed with the students, and after 1 month, knowledge and skills were evaluated again and the level of permanence on the subject was measured.
