Osteoporosis is an important public health issue that may result in a high fracture risk in the elderly population. There is general consensus that physical exercise decreases the risk of osteoporotic fractures by reducing the risk of falls and increasing bone strength. Although long-term high-intensity exercise programs have been shown to be successful in early post-menopausal women, a high-intensity exercise program appears to be less attractive to older post-menopausal women and may cause a lack of compliance in the long term and result in injury. Some studies have described falls and fractures as side effects of exercise.Whole-body vibration (WBV) therapy is an easy-to-apply alternative therapy for those who do not wish to initiate or continue pharmacological treatments and cannot perform high-impact exercises and is associated with high patient compliance. WBV therapy is among the promising new interventions for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and is defined as mechanical vibration applied in a standing or supine position without any restrictions on frequency (hertz), amplitude (millimeters), magnitude (vibration acceleration due to gravity, g) and cumulative WBV dose. The evidence obtained from animal studies have shown that WBV can be an effective method for increasing bone mass and improving bone structure and strength. Some human studies have shown that WBV can positively affect BMD and improve neuromuscular parameters associated with falls in post-menopausal women.Small changes in posture can have a significant effect on the extent to which a plantar-based mechanical stimulus is actually transmitted to the spine or hip; the stimulus is likely to be weakened by the inevitable changes in posture, which occur due to aging and osteoporosis. For these reasons, we aimed to examine the effect of high frequency and low-magnitude horizontal vibration therapy in post-menopausal women without being affected by posture in the present study.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of manual therapy and sacroiliac joint injections in patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction
The question remains whether the patients in whom USG-guided regional anesthesia and analgesia techniques are applied have a better recovery score than subarachnoid morphine administration, which is considered the gold standard. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the quality of recovery score using the Obstetric Recovery Quality Score-ObsQoR-10 questionnaire experienced by the patients who underwent elective cesarean section and compare the results of different regional anesthesia techniques with subarachnoid morphine.
This study aims to develop a web-based education program based on family centered empowerment model for parents of children with oncological problems and to evaluate the effect of the program on parents' self-efficacy, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress level and care abilities.

ADAPTATION HF is a prospective, observational, cross-sectional, multicenter, survey-based study. Patients who applied to the cardiology outpatient clinic with a preliminary diagnosis of HF or were hospitalized for HF and had a diagnosis of HF for at least 6 months will be included in the study.
Menopause is a natural phenomenon and physiological process in middle-aged women. It is noted that women most often complain of vasomotor symptoms and sleep disorders during the menopausal period, and therefore their quality of daily life is negatively affected. Reduce symptoms and improve quality of life for menopausal women they are applying for medical approaches due to the side effects of the method compared to music, yoga, aromatherapy, therapeutic massage, physical exercise, sleep hygiene education, therapeutic touch, acupressure, acupuncture and cognitive behavioral therapy as a non pharmacological methods, it is observed that they resort to such methods. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of therapeutic touch and music listening on sleep quality, menopausal symptoms and quality of life in menopausal women. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of therapeutic touch and music listening on sleep quality, menopausal symptoms and quality of life in menopausal women.
This study aimed to reduce the pain and increase comfort during the orogastric tube insertion (OGT) procedure, which is routinely applied to feed these babies at 32-34 weeks of age, in preterm newborns with a sucking reflex.In addition, this study also aimed to develop an atraumatic OGT attachment protocol by combining wrapping, fetal position, breast milk and oral sucrose combined therapy. It was planned as a randomized double-blind and controlled experimental study to evaluate the efficacy of using In addition, this study also planned to develop the atraumatic OGT insertion procedure through combined therapy of wrapping, fetal position, breast milk, and oral sucrose. The population of the research consists of preterm babies who are treated in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Selcuk University Hospital. Babies to be sampled are preterm babies who are between 32 and 34 weeks of gestation. Preterm newborns will be randomly divided into five groups; - Group 1: Control - Group 2: Wrapping + breast milk (2 ml) - Group 3: Wrapping + oral sucrose (0.2 ml/kg 20% sucrose) - Group 4: Fetal position + breast milk (2 ml) - Group 5: Fetal position + oral sucrose (0.2 ml/kg 20% sucrose) In the NICU, OGT insertion will be performed by the clinical nurse as part of the treatment for preterm newborns, which the clinic physician deems necessary. The clinical nurse and clinician will be responsible for OGT insertion in preterm newborns. In this study, only wrapping, fetal positioning, oral breast milk and sucrose delivery methods will be applied to preterm newborns by the researcher. In this context, the responsibility of the researcher in the study will be to apply non-pharmacological methods to preterm newborns only before OGT insertion and to evaluate the pain symptoms in preterm newborns during and after OGT insertion. The obtained data will be evaluated in SPSS-21 package program in computer environment. Normality tests, chi-square, t test, Anova, and advanced analysis will be used when necessary in the analysis of the data. The relationship between the mean score of the scale and other variables will be evaluated by correlation regression analysis. Significance will be accepted as p<0.05.
Levels of pain and anxiety experienced during labor are important factors affecting maternal and infant health. One indicator affecting these factors is labor-specific hormone levels in the uterus. Therapeutic touch practice is a CAT (Complementary and Alternative Therapies) method, and its effect on these factors will be a guide for future practice. The study participants will be women who are accepted to the delivery room of Adana Seyhan Public Hospital affiliated to Adana City Health Administrative of T.R. Ministry of Health between 01th of January 2022 and 01th of January 2023. The sample size of the study was calculated using G*power 3.1.9.6 program. Data obtained from the study conducted by Türkmen and Tuna Orhan (2021) were utilized for the effect size to be used for the calculation of the sample size. With d=0.86 effect size, 5% margin of error (α=0.05), 80% power (1-β=0.80), the sample size was calculated as 23 for the experimental group and 23 for the control group. Considering potential losses in the process, the sample size in both groups was increased by 10% and 25 pregnant women in each group were decided to be included in the study. An average of 15-minute therapeutic touch will be administered in the experimental group. As for the control group, they will be administered fake therapeutic touch for 15 minutes. Data will be collected using the pre and post-therapeutic touch hormone levels, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Childbirth Comfort Scale (CCS), and spit sample. Maternal Perception of Labor Scale (MPLS) data will be collected after the administration is finished. Data will be analyzed using Social Sciences Statistical Package Program 20.0. Very few studies have been conducted on whether labor pain can be decreased effectively using therapeutic touch. However, there are no placebo-controlled and single-blind experimental studies that investigated the effect of therapeutic touch practice during labor on labor pain, labor perception, childbirth comfort, endorphin, oxytocin, and cortisol hormone levels. Therefore, this study will be conducted as a randomized-controlled study to investigate the effect of therapeutic touch on labor pain, labor perception, childbirth comfort, endorphin, oxytocin, and cortisol hormone levels.
