The term "developmental risk" is used as a general term for developmental delays observed in infancy and early childhood. Developmental delay refers to the delay in children reaching developmental milestones compared to their peers. The DIR/Floortime™ therapy program is an approach that uses play as a therapeutic tool, emphasising the importance of interaction involving affect and excitement in a child's development. DIR/Floortime™ therapy program aims to support the child's development with a family-centred perspective by evaluating the child and the family together. DIR/Floortime™ therapy program is known to contribute to the functional and emotional development of children and the development of parenting skills of caregivers. The Social-Communication Area Developmental Screening Test for Infants and Young Children (SCASI) is a parent-reported developmental screening test that aims to identify 'delays' in the social communication area skills of infants and children. The SCASI training program is a training program for children and parents developed on the basis of this screening test, which includes targeted activities to support the development process according to the child's developmental level. To the best of our knowledge, there is no study investigating the effect of the SCASI training program applied in addition to the DIR/Floortime™ therapy program in children with risky development. The aim of the study is to examine the effect of the SCASI training program applied in addition to the DIR/Floortime™ therapy program in children with risky development. A total of 34 children with developmental risk between the ages of 1 and 3 will included in the study. Participants will randomly divided into two groups: control group (n=17) in which the DIR/Floortime™ therapy program will be applied and intervention group (n=17) in which the SCASI training program will be applied in addition to the DIR/Floortime™ therapy program. The DIR/Floortime™ therapy program will be applied by the therapist in the clinic for 50 minutes, 2 days a week for 12 weeks, and the SCASI training program will be applied by the parents at home, 2 days a week, for an average of 30 minutes a day, for 12 weeks. Demographic and clinic informations, SCASI test, Age and Stages Questionnarie (ASQ), Age and Stages Questionnaires: Social-Emotional (ASQ-SE) and Brief Infant and Toddler Social Emotional Assessment (BITSEA) will be used as outcome measures in the study.
Musculoskeletal problems related to instrument playing or performance are frequently seen in musicians. Different interventions such as strength training, endurance training and yoga have been used in the management of these problems. The first specific exercise program for professional orchestra musicians was developed by Chan et al. However, it has been stated that it is difficult to encourage musicians' participation in exercise due to their constantly changing work schedules, and at this point, the use of digital media such as DVDs, USBs, and educational exercise videos may have a potential role. On the other hand, it has been stated that smart wearable devices with mobile applications (such as smart watches, smart band) as digital health interventions are an interesting, interactive and efficient psychological strategy to promote physical activity and can be used as an intervention to promote a healthy lifestyle. Based on the literature, in our study, the exercise program developed by Chan et al., will be done online via "Google Meet" and symptoms can be evaluated with objective evaluation methods. Unlike other studies using digital media, exercises will be performed synchronously and feedback will be given to the musicians simultaneously, as in face-to-face exercises. In addition, all participants will be given a smart band, they will be encouraged to use it until the end of the study, and the change in their physical activity levels will be evaluated.
This study was planned to determine the effect of kinesio taping (KT) applied to the abdominal area after surgery on pain and gas output in children aged 6-12 years who had open appendicitis surgery.
Objective: This study was conducted to determine the effect of breastfeeding education given through gamification on breastfeeding self-efficacy and infant feeding attitudes of pregnant women. Method: This study is a randomized controlled pretest-posttest parallel group experimental study, and 28 women included in the experimental group and 28 women in the control group. In the study, "Sociodemographic Information Form", "Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form-Antenatal Form (BSES-SF), ", "Infant Nutrition Attitude Scale (IOWA)" Form was used. The data analyzed in SPSS program. Breastfeeding education content integrated into the game program designed with the gamification technique. A training program was applied to the women in the experimental group in the last trimester. Women in the control group received the standard breastfeeding training in the hospital. Measurement tools was applied to all participants before and after the training. Conclusion and Suggestions: In this planned study, it was aimed to teach women about breastfeeding in a digital environment in a fun way. In this study, it is found that breastfeeding education given through gamification have a positive effect on breastfeeding self-efficacy and infant feeding attitudes of pregnant women.
More than 3 billion of the worlds population are young people under the age of 25. According to WHO data, one million girls under the age of 15 give birth each year, mostly in low- and middle-income countries, and 3 million adolescent girls between the ages of 15 and 19 are exposed to unsafe abortions. Failure to meet the family planning needs of young people in a timely, adequate and appropriate manner can have significant public health impacts. According to World Health Statistics, the global birth rate for girls between 15 and 19 years of age is 49 out of 1000, and early pregnancy and childbirth can lead to serious health and social problems. In addition, this age group does not have sufficient information about pregnancy and its complications, and their access to and utilization of health services is low. Inadequacies in the education of adolescents on sexual issues and sociocultural differences further increase the sexual and reproductive health risks of young people in the university period. Information and services that will enable individuals to understand their sexuality and help them protect themselves from sexual risks should be provided specifically for that age. Therefore, it is important for young people to know family planning methods. In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of family planning education to be given with gamification method, which is different from the classical method in the literature, on the knowledge and attitudes of university students.
This study will be conducted to compare maternal and neonatal outcomes of pregnant women who applied to the delivery room in the early (latent) and late (active) phase. The population of the research will consist of participants who applied to Darıca Farabi Training and Research Hospital for birth. To determine the sample size of the study, first, those who meet the inclusion criteria and are admitted to the delivery room in the latent phase and those who are accepted in the active phase will be numbered and recruited sequentially. When the number of participants in the 100 latent and 100 active acceptance groups is reached, the effect size will be calculated using the STAI score averages and the G*Power program, and the exact sample number will be determined, taking into account possible data losses. If necessary, data collection will continue until the target number is reached. Randomization will not be applied in the study. Data will be collected with the maternal and neonatal information form, State and Trait Anxiety Scale (STAI), Fear of Birth Scale, Neonatal Pain and Stress Assessment Scale (ALPS-Neo) and Visual analog scale for birth satisfaction. Data will be collected by the assistant researcher. Statistical analysis will be performed using IBM SPSS Statistic. Descriptive statistical methods will be used to evaluate socio-demographic data, and parametric/nonparametric tests will be used for comparative analyses.

Swimming is one of the sports branches that includes many factors such as aerobic and anaerobic endurance, strength, flexibility, speed, quickness, rhythm, coordination as well as sportive performance and technical skills. Athletes must have a high level of fitness, strength, coordination, agility, speed and motor control to perform at an elite level with minimal injury risk. Repetitive upper extremity movements imposed by freestyle swimming may lead to changes in muscle length and tension by paving the way for postural misalignment in adolescent swimmers. As can be seen in the studies, young swimmers who are preparing for the competition have postural disorders and injuries related to use, such as decreased posture, shoulder joint range of motion and subacromial distance. Pectoralis minor stretching exercise to be performed in swimmers is aimed to improve swimming performance and prevent possible postural disorders by contributing to the increase of maximal shoulder muscle strength as well as correcting the incorrectly developed posture in children.
