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.
Acupressure, which is a type of nonpharmacological practice. Acupressure is a practice that provides energy flow by applying pressure to the special points of the meridians that innately carry energy in the body with stimulation bands, hands, and fingers. Acupressure is also known as acupuncture without needles. Because no needles are used in acupressure, acupressure is an easy, safe, effective, and economical method to learn and apply. There is no study to determine the effect of acupressure on acute pain, patient satisfaction and stress, which is applied to adult patients during the venipuncture procedure. In this context, the study was planned to be conducted in a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of acupressure on acute pain, stress level and satisfaction during venpuncture in adult patients.Patient Evaluation Form, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Visual Patient Satisfaction Scale and State Anxiety Inventory will be used in the study. The scales will be used before and after venpuncture. Acupressure will be applied to the adults in the acupressure group for 10 min before the venipuncture procedure. Pain, heart rate, and oxygen saturation levels of the adults in the acupressure and control groups will be evaluated both before and after the venipuncture procedure.
This study, it was aimed to examine the effect of circadian timing program created for obese individuals with evening chronotype on obesity management and sleep quality.
The main purpose of this study is how to manage hyperglycemic patients in emergency departments, to determine the conditions that require blood glucose regulation and to examine the prognosis of the patients in the next 30 days, depending on the regulation method.
Pulse CO-Oximetry (Masimo Corp, Irvine, CA, USA) is a method that allows non-invasive continuous hemoglobin (Hb) measurement. This technology measures continuous Hb with a multi-wavelength spectrophotometric fingertip sensor. Aim of investigators in this study is to make continuous Hb measurement with Pulse CO-Oximetry method in living liver donors, to compare these measurements with the laboratory results routinely taken during the operation, to determine the level of correlation for this patient group.
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA)is the most common chronic rheumatic disease in childhood. While JIA usually affects the ankle and knee joints, it can also affect hip, cervical spine and shoulder involvement. Secondary problems such as spine involvement or lack of weight transfer may lead to scoliosis. The aim of this study was to perform scoliosis screening in children with JIA and to evaluate families' awareness of scoliosis.
Aim: This study was conducted to determine the effect of showing images of the fetus to the pregnant women with the virtual reality glass during labor process on labor pain, birth perception and anxiety level. Background: Virtual reality (VR) is an effective and inexpensive method that allows the creation of simulated scenarios in which it interacts with the virtual environment with multisensory stimuli. Methods: This is a randomized controlled experimental study. The study included 100 pregnant women of whom 50 in the intervention group and 50 in the control group. Ultrasound images of the fetus were recorded on the 28th week of pregnancy of the women in the intervention group. These images were shown to the women with the virtual reality glass during labor process. Routine procedures were carried out for the women in the control group. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was applied to both groups when cervical dilatation was 4 cm and 9 cm. The Women's Perception for the Scale of Supportive Care Given During Labor (POBS) and the Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PASS) were applied almost two hours after labor. Keywords: Virtual reality, labor, pain, anxiety.
Thesis publication rates in our country, according to research other medical branches; in psychiatry thesis % 37,4; Family Medicine, an increase of 0.9%; in emergency medicine and 7.3% in public health 1.5%; in microbiology %4,2; 5.7 percent in urology; brain surgery was 6.8%; general surgery 5%; 3.8% in eye diseases and surgery; ear, nose and throat diseases and surgery, in %4,2 as has been reported.
The term postoperative pulmonary complication is the development of any complications affecting the respiratory system after anesthetic and surgery procedures. The ARISCAT risk assessment score is a seven-variable regression model that divides patients into low, moderate, and high-risk groups. In this study, the investigators aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the ARISCAT risk scoring index in predicting postoperative pulmonary complication development in patients scheduled for major abdominal cancer surgery.
The study includes patients over 18 years old who were hospitalized in our covid intensive care unit between March 16 and May 16, 2020. Retrospective records were examined by examining the electronic data files of the patients. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests performed with nasopharyngeal swab taken from the person, which is the standard diagnostic method, and also the diagnosis of infection symptoms, risk factors and thoracic CT scans indicating pneumonia were diagnosed. Patients over 18 years of age with and without a medical history of DM in their history were identified and compared in 2 groups.
Background: In a limited number of studies conducted with the participation of cancer patients, it has been reported that warm water bath may be beneficial for management of cancer-related fatigue. Objective: This experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effect of warm salt water foot bath applied to reduce the chemotherapy-induced fatigue. Interventions/Methods: Seventy-nine patients who were experiencing moderate or higher level of fatigue were included in this study conducted between November 2017-February 2018. 42 of the patients were assigned to the experimental group and 37 patients were assigned to the control group. A training booklet about chemotherapy-induced fatigue were given to all patients. In addition, the experimental group was asked to perform 20-minute warm salt water application to their feet for a week after the treatment by explaining and showing the video prepared about the preparation and practice of warm salt water foot bath. Subsequently, the patients were called by phone every day for one week to record their fatigue levels. Results: The 7-day fatigue course of both groups was similar. However the physical, emotional, affective and cognitive distress related to fatigue decreased in the experimental group but did not decrease in the control group. Conclusion: The warm salt water footbath may be an effective approach in enhancing fatigue related quality of life. However, it is needed to conduct more comprehensive studies to express the effectiveness. Implications to Practice: Nurses can propose the use of the warm salt water footbath in the management of chemotherapy induced fatigue.
