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.
Introduction: Interpersonal Relational Role Analysis (IRRA) is a psychosocial group intervention that allows individuals to see the problems they experience in interpersonal relationships and interactions in the group environment and to be handled together with group members. Aim: The present study aims to investigate the effects of IRRA on nursing students' depressive symptoms and coping styles. Method: This study was conducted with randomized controlled, pre-test-post-test control group design and follow-up test patterns. Students with depressive symptoms were randomly assigned to control (n=10) or intervention groups (n=10). Intervention group students received 21 weeks of IRRA intervention. Results: It was determined that IRRA had a positive effect on nursing students' depressive symptoms and coping styles. Discussion: This study is the first to evaluate the effects of IRRA on depressive symptoms and coping styles. Our study provides evidence on the effectiveness of IRRA in reducing the depressive symptoms of nursing students and in managing stress. Implications for Practice: IRRA is a practical and useful intervention that mental health nurses can incorporate and use in their clinical practice while helping individuals to become aware of problems in relationships and roles that may impair their mental health.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. It is an important health problem that has been increasingly encountered in recent years. With the advances in treatment, the survival time after breast cancer is prolonged, and as a result, many women face certain diseases during this period. One of these diseases, breast cancer-related lymphedema, is characterized by abnormal accumulation of protein-rich fluid in the interstitial tissue, which can occur at any time after breast cancer surgery or radiotherapy and is a major cause of morbidity. The aims of the treatment of lymphedema are to reduce edema, prevent the increase of edema, prevent infections, protect skin integrity, range of motion and limb functions. Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) is recommended by the International Society of Lymphology (ISL) as the international contemporary standard treatment for BCRL(breast cancer related lymphedema) treatment. CDT is a treatment method that includes manual lymph drainage (MLD), multilayer bandaging (Multilayer, short-stretch compression bandaging), exercise, skin care and compression garment. Compression garments, which are the most important component of the second phase of CDT, reduce the interstitial pressure of the extremity with the pressure they apply, and reduce capillary filtration and lymph production. Regular use of compression garments is very important during the treatment process. It is recommended that compression garments be worn during all waking hours. The success of compression garments is closely related to the patient's compliance with the treatment. Patients with lymphedema may need to wear compression garments for life. Wearing compression garments may have some difficulties for patients and this may affect compliance and adherence to treatment. The aim of this study is to investigate the compliance to compression garments and related factors among patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema.
Objective: Sympathetic activity starts to increase during exercise. At the end of the exercise, while sympathetic activation decreases, parasympathetic activity increases. Sympathetic and parasympathetic excursions achieve homeostasis. Most of the parasympathetic activity effects are vagus code. It is aimed to compare the comparison of exercise and vagus therapy in these healthy individuals.
It was aimed to determine the relationship between post-stroke imagination ability, balance, and functionality, and to compare the motor imagery skills of those who had stroke with compatible healthy individuals.
To observe the effect of different fresh flows (1 L / min and 4 L / min) on the carboxyhemoglobin level non-invasively and continuous measurement and to determine the contribution of smoking to the intraoperative carbon monoxide accumulation.
Neck pain is a common musculoskeletal problem occurring as one of the first conditions causing decreased quality of life and disability. An estimated 67.5% of people experience neck pain in their lives (5, 6). When the adult population is considered (15-74 years old), the prevalence ranges from 5.9% to 38.7%. Causes of neck pain are largely variable, and include working in unsuitable ergonomic positions, sitting for a long time, and keeping the neck in abnormal physiological position for a long time. Various factors are effective in the chronic stage of neck pain. Neck pain is associated with decreased strength and endurance of the cervical muscles. It was observed that deep flexor muscles are weak and superficial flexor muscle activity is increased in patients with neck pain; and that exercise is effective in reducing neck pain because strength, endurance, and flexibility can be regained in the structures around the damaged tissue. There are several approaches that were found to be effective in the treatment of neck pain. These treatment strategies include physical therapy modalities, manual therapy, therapeutic exercise (stretching, strengthening, and endurance exercises) and home exercise programs. Home exercise programs are used to expand the clinic-based physical therapy approaches to treat neck pain. It was stated that it is now compulsory to develop new rehabilitation models and practices to cope with global increase in elderly population, limited resources allocated to public health, and changes in population needs. Telerehabilitation is recommended as a solution to provide physical therapy services; however, it was reported in previous studies that more studies are required in this field to accept its effectiveness. The purpose of the present study is to examine the effects of 4-week exercise protocol established with stretching, strengthening the scapula muscles for the neck and upper body, neck and core stabilization exercises by ensuring the follow-up of the patients with Telerehabilitation Method on patients' neck pain, Daily Life Activities (DLA), and quality of life by comparing its effects with individuals who apply only home program.
Background and Aim: Pulmonary aspiration of gastric content in the perioperative period is rare, but it is an important cause of morbidity and mortality that anesthetists never want to encounter. Due to reasons such as emergency surgical procedures, communication problems with pediatric patients or their parents, impaired cognitive function, obesity, diabetes mellitus, chronic liver and kidney diseases, it is observed that there is sometimes inconsistency between the periods defined in the preoperative fasting guidelines in pediatric patients and the state of gastric content and volume encountered in clinical practice. There is a lack of data on children on this issue. In this study, primary we aimed to evaluate the incidence of empty and full stomach in pediatric patients who underwent elective and emergency surgery in our routine anesthesia practice. Also we want to determine the relationship between fasting time and qualitative assessment of gastric content. Secondary this study sought to examine whether correlation between gastric ultrasound finding and fasting time, and also to determine relationship with the current comorbidities. Design: This is a prospective, single blinded, observational study. The minimum sample size required to determine the prevalence of full stomach, 0.05, within the limits of ± 0.025 with 0.95 confidence, was calculated as 292. When calculating with the proposed equation of n = 100 + 50i to determine the factors affecting by logistic regression (here i is the number of variables in the model), the minimum number of samples required for logistic regression analysis was calculated as 300 in case of 4 independent variables in the model. n=100+50*4= 300 Methods: Pediatric patients younger than 18 yr old who are to undergo elective and emergency surgery under general anaesthesia at our hospital are enrolled in this prospective observational study between April and December 2021. Preoperative ultrasound examination of the gastric antrum are performed by one anesthesiologist who has been instructed and supervised by an experienced pediatric radiologist and who is blind to the patient's history. Ultrasonographic measurement of the gastric antral cross-sectional area (CSA) are performed in supine position and right lateral decubitus position (RLD). The gastric antrum is imaged in a sagittal plane, between the left lobe of the liver and the pancreas, at the level of the aorta, as previously described [1]. This examination allowed qualitative assessment of gastric contents according to the three-point grading scale previously described by Perlas and colleagues[2]. Grade 0 was defined by the absence of appearance of any content in a flat antrum in both the supine and the RLD positions. Grade 1 was defined by the appearance of any gastric content in the RLD position only, and Grade 2 was defined by the appearance of any content in both the RLD and the supine positions. The antral cross-sectional area is also calculated in both position, by measuring the longitudinal diameter (D1) and the anteroposterior diameter (D2) of the antrum, from serosa to serosa using this formula [3] Antral area= (π x D1 X D2) / 4. Patients' characteristic data ( age, gender, weight, height, BMI and ASA physical status classification), fasting duration, type of elective and emergency surgery, chronic disease and complications (regurgitation, pulmonary aspiration, etc.) that may develop during the peroperative period are recorded.
Aims The study aims to examine the effect of "IHAPIM" program on health perceptions, health responsibilities, perceived stress level, attitudes towards utiling health care services and the types of coping strategies of immigrant men. Design This study is a two centre, double-blind, randomized controlled trial. Methods We attempt to report this randomized controlled trial to comply with the SPIRIT. The study population consist of 95 immigrant men live at north of Turkey. The study, between March 2020-March 2021 were held in the two district predominantly immigrants. The participants were randomly divided into experimental and control group. The experimental (N = 49) received a short-term IHAPIM program (5 week, 1 hr per week, 10 hr in total). Measurements were obtained during pre- and post-test from experimental and control group (N = 46). In this study, participants and statistician who conducted the research blinded. Discussion The efficacy of health promotion interventions are known. However, the health promotion interventions for immigrants men performed by public health nurse are not available. At the same time, the effect of health promotion interventions for immigrants men are unknown. Impact This study is expected to provide a piece of credible evidence of the the health promotion interventions for immigrants men performed by public health nurse and efficacy of health perceptions, health responsibilities, perceived stress level, attitudes towards utiling health care services and the types of coping strategies in immigrant men group. It is assumed that health promotion interventions specific to male health and sensitive to the language of immigrants lead to a beneficial results on health perceptions, health responsibilities, perceived stress level, attitudes towards utiling health care services and the types of coping strategies in immigrant men. If "IHAPIM" program perform in practice by public heath nurse. It can be effectively improve immigrant men's health variables such as health perceptions, health responsibilities, perceived stress level, attitudes towards utiling health care services and the types of coping strategies.
