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.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes a highly contagious infection with the highest viral load in the upper respiratory secretions. Despite using personal protective equipment, SARS-CoV-2 contamination to the healthcare personnel is possible during the airway management of infected patients. Direct laryngoscopy remains as the most common method for endotracheal intubation. Our study aimed to compare the use of video laryngoscopy with direct laryngoscopy for tracheal intubation in adult patients receiving general anesthesia for elective surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Forty-four patients aged 4-10 years who applied to Aydın Adnan Menderes University Faculty of Dentistry for dental treatment under general anesthesia will be selected and divided into 2 groups by simple randomization. The group in which a direct laryngoscope was used for intubation, which is a part of the routine general anesthesia procedure, Group DL; The group in which the video laryngoscope is used will be called Group VL. Routine general anesthesia procedure and dental treatments will not differ between groups. The necessity of external laryngeal manipulation, intubation difficulty scale (IDS) will be evaluated and the difficulty level will be determined as easy, medium and difficult. All intubations will be confirmed by auscultation as part of the routine procedure.
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of muscular endurance of the trunk, upper extremities, and scapular region as well as cervical region, with pain, neck awareness, and kinesiophobia in patients with cervical disc herniation. Thirty-six patients between 18-65 years with a diagnosis of cervical disc herniation and having neck pain of 2 and above at rest according to the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were included in the study. After the evaluation of musculoskeletal system, endurance tests were performed for 9 muscles/muscle groups in the cervical and scapular regions, upper limb, and trunk. Pain severity was measured by VAS and Neck Disability Index (NDI), neck awareness with Fremantle Neck Awareness Questionnaire (FreNAQ), and fear of movement with Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS).
This is a global study to assess the effects of osimertinib in participants with EGFRm stage IA2-IA3 non-small cell lung cancer following complete tumour resection.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether spinal alignment and spinal mobility have an effect on upper extremity functions in Parkinson's patients. In the light of the data obtained as a result, we think that our study will also contribute to determining the factors that may cause upper limb dysfunctions seen in Parkinson's patients and will guide new treatment-oriented studies to be carried out in the future.
COVID -19 survivors need rehabilitatition for recovery. Our study aims to examine the effect of Whole Body Vibration Training in COVID-19 survivors
The aim of the study which was planned in a randomized controlled experimental design, it was aimed to determine the effect of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) application on pain level before mobilization in the postoperative period in children.
The research was conducted in experimental design with intervention-control group and pretest-posttest in order to examine the effectiveness of the Peer Bullying Consultancy Program (PBCP), is based on the Interpersonal Relations Model (IPM), on 11-12 years old children who are bullying. The sample group of the study consisted of children (intervention group/n=29; control group/n=32) were attending 5th and 6th grades in two different randomized designated secondary schools after stratified sampling, had high Peer Bullying Determination Scale Bully Behavior. The PBCP was implemented to the children in the intervention group in 2 face-to-face and 5 online individual interviews in 26 days. To increase the peer bullying cognition level, to develop empathy skills, to improve friendship relations, to increase anger control of children who are bullying in intervention group, content suitable for age characteristics was developed within the scope of PBCP various training techniques (brainstorming, educational game, demonstration, case study, video watching) used. The data were collected using Sociodemographic Information Form, the Bullying Related Cognitions Scale for Children (BRCSC), the Empathy Scale for Children and Adolescents (ESCA), Friendship Relations and Anger Control Assessment Form. Data collection tools were applied to the children in the intervention group at the beginning and at the end of the PBCP, and to the children in the control group with an interval of 26 days. In the study, children in the intervention group had lower scores on the BRCSC; had higher scores on the ESCA, Self-Reporting Happiness Level in Friendship Relations, Sample Behavior Knowledge Level for Happy Friendship, Understanding Level of Anger Symtoms, Knowledge Level of Anger Control and Self-Reporting Anger Control Level than the children in the control group (p<0.05). It has been determined the PBCP based on the IRM is effective for children aged 11-12 who are bullying. It is recommended nurses develop model-based, individual counseling and training program in which different educational techniques are used in accordance with the age characteristics in order to support the growth, development of children who are bullying within the framework of their roles such as advocate, consultant, leader.
It is known that the treatment of children with cancer has negative effects on cognition, muscle strength, balance, and gait. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of dual-task training, which is based on the principle of simultaneous performance of cognitive tasks and motor tasks, on muscle strength, balance, and gait.
"Empathy", one of the skills required by the nursing profession, has an important place in the patient-nurse relationship. Considered as the most basic motivation of altruistic behaviour, empathy requires recognizing the emotional states of others and understanding their needs. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of drama-supported "patient role" experience on nursing students' empathy and altruism levels. Method: This research was designed as a pretest-posttest regular parallel-group, randomized controlled experiments. The research will be carried out with students studying in Necmettin Erbakan University Faculty of Nursing, 2nd grade, without a history of hospitalization and chronic disease and who agreed to participate in the research. Data will be collected using the Datasheet, Altruism Scale, and Jefferson Empathy Scale for Nursing Students (JESNS). The data will be analyzed in the SPSS program.
