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.
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women. Reasons such as diagnosing breast cancer at an early stage increases the chances of treatment and survival, and the fact that the masses are largely noticed by the individual themselves, point to the importance of breast self-examination (BSE) . BSE skill is among the nursing skills. When the literature was examined, it was seen that the web-based education method was frequently used for cognitive skills during nursing education, but its use was limited for psychomotor skills training. It was determined that in BSE training, in addition to traditional education, methods such as concept maps and peer-supported education were used, but web-based education methods were not used. It is thought that the study will contribute to the literature in these aspects.
Objective: This study aimed to estimate the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes among pregnant patients with intermittently absent (iAEDF) and persistently absent end-diastolic umbilical artery flow (pAEDF). The fetal risks associated with persistently absent end-diastolic flow have been described. However, the risks associated with intermittent absent end-diastolic flow are not well-known. Study design: We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with the iAEDF or pAEDF at our institution from 2020 to 2023. Fetuses were classified under two categories: iAEDF group and pAEDF group.Neonatal outcomes, demographic information, pregnancy outcomes and pregnancy complications were compared between patients with iAEDF and those with pAEDF.
The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental research with the purpose of determining the effect of distraction by using vacutainers of three different animal characters.
Cholecystectomy is the most common major abdominal surgical procedure in western countries. Patients may experience fear and anxiety before surgery. Stress ball, one of the distraction methods, is an effective method in providing cognitive focus. It is seen that the stress ball method is used to reduce patients' anxiety and pain. Squeezing the stress ball during the surgical procedure allows patients to have direct control over the object, increasing their sense of empowerment. In this way, it has a positive effect on anxiety and patient satisfaction without interfering with the surgical procedure. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative use of stress ball on patients' fear, stress and comfort in order to determine the effect of stress ball applied before cholecystectomy surgery on patients' surgical fear, stress and comfort. It is thought that the data obtained as a result of the research will provide evidence for the effect of the stress ball, which is a non-pharmacological method used before the procedure, on fear, stress and comfort.
It was aimed to determine the effect of parental participation on newborn comfort during diaper care practice in preterm infants. H1: Parental participation during infant diaper care practice in preterm infants has an effect on newborn comfort. H2: There is a difference in the effect of parent diaper care practice and the participation of the mother or father on newborn comfort in preterm infants. H3: There is a difference between the stress levels of parents before the application of infant diaper care in preterm infants.
Gastrointestinal bleeding is a condition that frequently presents to emergency departments and can be fatal if diagnosis and treatment are delayed. The working mechanism of end tidal capnography is simply to detect the respiratory carbon dioxide level. In our study, the investigators aimed to determine the severity of gastrointestinal bleeding by using the Glaskow Blachford Score and AIMS65 score in cases presenting with gastrointestinal bleeding, to determine the end tidal carbon dioxide value by capnography in these cases and to determine its effectiveness in evaluating mortality and morbidity in gastrointestinal bleeding.
Within the scope of this research, a single session of Wearable Technological Device (Exopulse Molli-Suit) will be applied to patients with chronic back and neck pain. The results will be evaluated acutely, after 24 hours, after 1 week and after 1 month.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the repeated greater occipital nerve(GON) blokcs with GON pulse radiofreaquency (PRF)
To evaluate the inflammatory response of participants who will undergo unilateral inguinal hernia surgery at two different times of the day (08.00-12.00 during the day and 18.00-22.00 at night). The main question it aims to answer is; Is the inflammation response higher in participants who undergo surgery later in the day? Serum inflammatory parameters will be measured in both groups at the preoperative 1st hour and the postoperative 24th hour.
92 patients with a diagnosis of primary knee pain of unknown cause followed at the family medicine outpatient clinic and who met our exclusion criteria were invited to the study. When creating patient list, the examination of patients, interviews with patients, as well as their medical records and examinations were used. Patients were divided into two groups: prolotherapy (n=46) and control group (n=46) by simple randomization method. However, when the study started, 32 people in the prolotherapy group and 33 people in the control group of these patients participated in the study. Prior to the research, detailed information was provided about the research in the experimental and control groups and signed consent was obtained from all participants that they volunteered to participate in the research. 5% dectrose was applied to the prolotherapy group by injection method to the pain area. In the control group, existing medical treatments were continued and no injection procedure was performed. Before the research, all participants were evaluated with Case Report Form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Quality of Life Scale Short Form (SF-36). The cases in the experimental and control groups were re-evaluated with the VAS and SF-36 scales at the first month.
