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.
It is important for pediatric nurses to apply atraumatic care while providing care to children and their families. Pediatric nurses should use methods appropriate for the child's age and developmental period within the scope of atraumatic care.
It will be determined whether the application of whole body vibration has an immediate effect on upper extremity reaction speed and proprioception.
The research will be conducted experimentally in the form of randomized controlled studies to determine the effect of safe swaddling of newborns after bathing on stress and comfort. The population of the research consists of newborns receiving treatment and care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a State Hospital located in the north of Turkey, and the sample consists of 72 babies who meet the sample selection criteria. Descriptive Characteristics Form, Newborn Stress Scale and Newborn Comfort Behavior Scale were used to collect data. Babies will be bathed in the bathtub and then swaddled. The baby will be placed in the incubator and kept for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, the swaddle will be opened quietly and slowly, without disturbing the body posture. Stress and comfort scores will be given by two observers by video recording the babies before bathing, before swaddling and after swaddling.
Tuberculosis is a chronic, necrotic infectious disease with very different clinical appearances, caused by a group of mycobacteria defined as M. tuberculosis complex. Although there is a vaccine and can be treated with combined medications, this health problem remains important all over the world, especially in poor countries. Generally, respiratory symptoms that occur in a person with tuberculosis include cough, phlegm, hemoptysis, chest pain, and shortness of breath for more than three weeks. If there is a partial obstruction in the bronchi due to the compression of enlarged lymph nodes, it causes a whezing sound accompanied by shortness of breath. In tuberculosis, contagion is brought under control with effective treatment by regular use of drugs. In addition, the symptoms of the patients are relieved until they recover. However, the fatigue of the patients may continue. The disease may continue. In addition to having an effect, fatigue may also occur due to the side effects of many tuberculosis drugs. Therefore, patients experiencing fatigue while taking tuberculosis drugs may cause them to become uncooperative in drug use, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, serious complications and higher treatment costs. Another method used in addition to the treatment of chronic respiratory system diseases such as tuberculosis is pulmonary rehabilitation.Pulmonary rehabilitation consists of patient education, psychosocial support, aerobic and strengthening breathing exercises and physical training programs. Among the breathing exercises that are considered to be one of the important components of pulmonary rehabilitation, pursed-lip breathing and diaphragmatic breathing exercises are frequently used in chronic respiratory system diseases. However, no study has been found examining the effects of pursed-lip breathing and diaphragmatic breathing exercises on fatigue in tuberculosis patients. Pursed-lip breathing technique ensures maximum emptying of the alveoli by providing controlled expiration, thus helping to reduce the respiratory rate by increasing the activity of the inspiratory and expiratory muscles, increasing gas exchange and tidal volume. During diaphragmatic breathing exercise, since the diaphragm muscle is used instead of accessory muscles, the respiratory load decreases, thus the ventilation level of the lungs increases and breathing is supported. It has been reported in the literature that the deep breathing technique is effective in controlling the emotional states of tuberculosis patients, and that deep breathing exercises applied to pulmonary TB patients are effective in reducing the respiratory rate. However, since no study was found in the literature review that evaluated the effect of breathing exercise applied to TB patients on fatigue, this study was planned to examine the effect of breathing exercise applied to patients diagnosed with TB on fatigue.
In this study, the effects of 4-week Cherry seed pillow application on pain and quality of life in individuals diagnosed with fibromyalgia will be examined.
Vital signs are concepts that first-year nursing students learn for the first time. Students are afraid of making mistakes in the concepts they are trying to learn for the first time. Learning and measuring vital signs are among the duties, powers and responsibilities of the nurse. Therefore, it is important for students to understand and learn correctly. At this point, puzzles are of great importance as they make learning easier and entertaining. The entertaining education of puzzles reduces students' fear of mistakes regarding concepts. This study aimed to investigate the effect of puzzles on nursing students' learning concepts related to vital signs.
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of the adjustable lower extremity abduction apparatus developed after total hip arthroplasty (TKP) surgeries on preventing dislocation and walking.The study is of randomized controlled type. It was held on the inpatient floor of a Training and Research Hospital in Istanbul, between November 2021 and October 16, 2023, with patients undergoing femoral neck fracture surgery. All patients who were admitted to this clinic for surgical intervention constituted the population of the study. In the research, 30 patients between the ages of 50-80 were included in the experimental group in which the "Adjustable lower extremity abduction apparatus" developed within the scope of the thesis was used, and 30 patients in which this apparatus was not used were included in the control group. As data collection tools in the study, "Patient Introduction Form", "Standardized Mini Mental State Test", "Patient Mobility Scale", "Modified Barthel Activities of Daily Living Index", "Apparatus Quality and Comfort Assessment Form" " and "Harris Hip Score Form" were used. Data were evaluated using IBM SPPS 27.0 statistical package program.
Ultrasound-guided Supra-inguinal Fascia Iliaca compartment Block (SIFCB) and Pericapsular Nerve Group Block (PENG) are increasingly being used for postoperative analgesia for hip surgery. The postoperative analgesic efficacy of SIFCB added to PENG block in elderly hip fracture patients will be evaluated. Postoperative opioid consumption and quality of recovery will also be evaluated.
This study is conducted to examine the effect of climate change and global warming-based education given to nursing students on their environmental attitudes. The research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental. According to the posthoc power analysis, it was determined that the type one error amount was 0.05 with a medium effect size and the power of the study was 94% when 110 participants were taken. The data were included from the 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades of a nursing faculty in eastern Turkey. Assignments were made to experimental and control groups by randomization. Personal information form and environmental attitude scale were used to collect data.
This clinical trial aims to look at the influence of wrist Mulligan mobilizations on hand reaction time in healthy people. The main question it aims to answer is: 1-Do hand mobilizations reduce reaction time?
