Chronic renal failure is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world and in our country. Hemodialysis is the most commonly used treatment method in the treatment of chronic renal failure. In addition to its important benefits, hemodialysis treatment causes many problems such as fatigue, bone and joint pain, insomnia, mood disorders, sexual problems, paresthesia and nausea. In addition, patient comfort is adversely affected due to physical, psychosocial and environmental problems in hemodialysis patients. Elimination of symptoms in hemodialysis patients and ensuring patient comfort are important components of quality nursing care. For this purpose, it is reported that non-pharmacological evidence-based approaches such as listening to music, yoga, and exercise are used in the literature. Although there are studies examining the effectiveness of listening to music, the number of studies examining the effectiveness of nature-based sounds in hemodialysis patients is quite limited. It is known that sounds such as bird, ocean, water, wind sound have beneficial effects on human health in terms of physiological and psychosocial aspects. This project is to determine the effect of listening to nature sounds during hemodialysis treatment on fatigue and patient comfort. Type of Study: The project was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study. Population and Sample: The population of the study consists of patients who are treated in the Hemodialysis Unit of Bartin State Hospital. The sample was taken as d=0.80 power=0.90, α=0.05 and β=0.20, taking into account the data obtained from a similar study, and it was calculated as 30 patients in the intervention group and 30 patients in the control group, in total 60 patients. Inclusion criteria for the study: - To be receiving hemodialysis treatment for at least 6 months, - Being over 18 years old, - Not having a hearing and speaking disability, - Not have a cognitive disability. Exclusion criteria from the study: - Receiving hemodialysis treatment for less than 6 months, - Do not listen to the nature-based audio application for 30 minutes - Being under the age of 18, - Hearing and speech impairment, - Having a cognitive disability.
Objective: Sleep and behavioral problems are common in infants at risk of autism. This study aims to examine the effect of Snoezelen-Based Occupational Therapy intervention on sleep and behavioral problems in infants at risk of autism. Design: Twenty-four infants (15 boys, 9 girls) at risk for autism were randomized to the intervention group (n = 12; 28.33 ± 6.52 months) and the control group (n = 9; 30.11 ± 5.20 years). The intervention group received Snoezelen-Based Occupational Therapy intervention in addition to the conventional 8-week sensory integration intervention, while the control group received only the conventional sensory integration intervention. Both groups assessed sleep and behavioral problems using the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BİSQ) and the Vineland Social-Emotional Early Childhood Scale (VSEES) pre and post eight weeks of intervention.
In this study, the investigators aims to evaluate whether antenatal corticosteroid administration to women likely to give birth in the late preterm period will reduce early and late neonatal complications and contribute to the literature in this sense.
The main aim of the investigator study is the success of predictivity cervical consistency index (CCI), anterior uterocervical angle (aUCA) and posterior uterocervical angle (pUCA) in second trimester terminations.
ABSTRACT Aim: Our study aimed to determine the approaches of our physicians to the smoking habits of their patients other than those with pulmonary diseases. Method: Patients examined in different outpatient clinics of our hospital will be asked 7 questions about the doctor's approach to smoking habits. 1) Do you have information about smoking cessation clinic? 2) Has your doctor asked if you smoke? 3) Did he suggest you stop using it? 4) Did he inform you about the relationship between smoking and your disease? 5) Did he provide information about smoking cessation outpatient clinic services? 6) Have you ever thought about quitting smoking after your doctor's briefing? 7) Did you quit smoking after your doctor's briefing?
As individuals with special needs take more roles in social life and become more visible, the importance of social acceptance of individuals with special needs has increased.Especially being accepted by their peers with normal development and developing as a part of the society will reduce the burden of care in the society and enable children with special needs to lead a life worthy of human dignity.With this study, it is aimed to support children with normal development to form positive attitudes with awareness training. Qualitative and quantitative data will be used together and the attitude before and after the training will be examined descriptively.
Background: Vasopressors are life-saving agents that increase mean arterial pressure. The pharmacodynamic features of these agents and previous studies suggest that vasopressors may be an essential risk factor in developing pressure injuries. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effect of vasopressors in medical-surgical intensive care patients on pressure injury development. Design and Settings: This retrospective and correlational study was conducted between March 2021- May 2022. The electronic patient data were obtained from 148 surgical and medical patients treated with vasopressor agents in the intensive care unit. Data on patients' demographic and clinical characteristics were evaluated using descriptive statistical methods (number, percentage, mean, standard deviation). A logistic regression model was established to estimate the dependent variable (development of pressure injury) with the independent variables.
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effect of acupressure on reducing the pain of blood collection in children with Thalassemia. The hypothesis of this study is that acupressure application reduces acute pain.
Space maintainers are frequently used to prevent malocclusion problems in early primary tooth loss. Oral health literacy is defined as the capacity of individuals to learn, understand and evaluate basic oral health information. It is considered that parents' awareness of space maintainers may be affected by various factors such as their demographic characteristics and oral health literacy. The aim was to evaluate the relationship between variables by determining parents' awareness of space maintainers and their oral health literacy.
