Aim: This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of two types of mattresses with different support surfaces used in bedridden patients. Method: The sample of this quasi-experimental study consisted of 60 patients according to the inclusion criteria. A group I and group II of 30 patients each were formed from the sampled patients. For the patients in group I, a bed with a cube/block system and vibration (massage) feature was used. For the patients in group II, a viscoelastic mattress was used. The data of the study were collected with the ''Patient Identification Form'', ''Braden Scale'', ''Pressure Wound Observation Form'' and ''Wound Measurement Chart''. Number-percentage distributions, Chi-square, Fisher's Exact Probability Test and Mann-Whitney-U tests were used to evaluate the data. Implications for Clinical Practice: It was determined that the support surface used affected the pressure sore size and the mattress with cube/block system and vibration (massage) feature created smaller sized wounds in the sacrum, trochanter, malleolus and heel regions. In the sacrum, scapula, and heel regions, although not statistically significant in terms of wound stage and the number of patients who developed pressure sores, it was seen that the mattress with cube/block system and vibration (massage) feature was more effective.

Purpose:The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of preoperative throat lozenge on pain relief in the postoperative period of the mucosal damage caused by intubation in patients who underwent operations in the head and neck region under general anesthesia. Methods: 60 patients were included in this study who were hospitalized in the inpatient service of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery department, This study was single-blind and performed by the same practitioner. Throat lozenge (strepsilis) was given to patients 30 minutes before the operation (the dissolution rate of the lozenge was proven to be 6-9 minutes).The postoperative sore throat was evaluated by VAS scale (0=no pain, 10=unbearable pain), and cough and hoarseness were evaluated with a four-point Likert scale (0=absent, 3=severe) at 1, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hours.

Abstract Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of individualized nursing interventions based on the Roy Adaptation Model on the recovery of alcohol addicts. Method: This was an experimental study with pretest-posttest, follow-up, and a control group. It included 64 individuals who completed their detoxification process and met the inclusion criteria. The experimental group was provided with individualized care, and interventions were made in line with the Roy Adaptation Model. The personal behaviors that could be related to recurrence (physiological, self-concept, role function, and mutual commitment) and the stimuli that caused recurrence (focal and affecting) were assessed, objectives were determined, and nursing interventions were carried out in line with these objectives. The interventions planned for diagnosing ineffective coping were selected according to the patients' needs among the "support coping" interventions under the title of the behavioral area in the Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC). The data were collected using an introductory information form, the Recovery Assessment Scale (RAS), the Turkish Version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument (WHOQOL-BREF-TR), and the Penn Alcohol Craving Scale (PACS).
This study will be conducted to determine the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy-based psychoeducation on psychological flexibility and impulsivity levels in patients with bipolar disorder. This study was planned as a randomised controlled experimental study. The study will be conducted with 60 patients (Intervention: 30, Control: 30) in the euthymic stage diagnosed with bipolar disorder who applied to Adıyaman Besni State Hospital psychiatry outpatient clinic using randomisation method. "Introductory Information Form" about socio-demographic characteristics, "Psychological Flexibility Scale" and "Barratt Impulsivity Scale -11 Short Form" will be used for data collection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Based Psychoeducation will be applied to the patients in the intervention group in the form of group education (consisting of 5-7 people), one session per week for eight weeks; no intervention will be applied to the control group. Pre-tests will be applied to the patients in the intervention and control groups just before the training, post-test will be applied to the intervention group immediately after the training sessions are completed, and follow-up test will be applied one month after the post-test, i.e. in the 12th week. After the pre-test was applied to the control group, the post-test will be applied in the 8th week and the follow-up test will be applied in the 12th week without any intervention. Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance was used to compare the scale scores and Fisher Least Significant Difference test was used for multiple comparisons of Group*Time interaction. Permission was obtained from the University Ethics Committee, the relevant institution and the individuals participating in the study.
