Gastrointestinal dysfunction is a common complication after abdominal gynecologic oncology surgery. There are numerous studies in the literature addressing the management of bowel function in the postoperative period. Unfortunately, the strategies in the literature are not one hundred percent successful, and complete prevention of postoperative bowel dysfunction cannot be achieved. There is no study in the literature demonstrating that abdominal exercises given to patients undergoing surgery for gynecological malignancies in the preoperative period improve gastrointestinal function in the postoperative period. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of an exercise plan, including abdominal massage and rectal digital stimulation, performed before gynecologic oncology surgery on postoperative bowel functions.
12 healthy men aged 18-30 will be included in the study. Participants will be selected from students who regularly train and do active sports at the Faculty of Sports Sciences. All participants will do nordic hamstring exercise. Participants will rest for 20 minutes after the Nordic hamstring exercise protocol in the first week. In the second week, manual lymph drainage covering the lower extremities will be applied for 20 minutes after exercise. In the third week, a Swedish massage covering the lower extremities will be applied after exercise. The exercise protocol is planned as 5 sets of 8 repetitions and 2 minutes of rest between each set. The evaluations of the participants will be repeated 3 times: just before the test, after the test and after the application.
The present study evaluates the effect of nursing care based on the Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory on the knowledge and skills related to self-care among adolescents with Cystic Fibrosis.
This study was designed to examine the effects of using virtual reality and kaleidoscope during routine vaccination in children aged 48 months on pain, fear, and anxiety. Children aged 48 months who were to receive the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine were randomized into three groups. Accordingly, the study sample consisted of a virtual reality group with 42 children, a kaleidoscope group with 42 children, and a control group with 42 children, totaling 126 children. Fear and pain were evaluated by both the researcher and the child before and after the procedure. Anxiety was assessed by the child after the procedure. The Wong Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale was used for pain, the Children's Fear Scale for fear, and the Child Anxiety Scale-State Version for anxiety.
This study was administered to 21 female and 9 male patients. Patients with impacted wisdom teeth on both sides of the mandible were selected.

The effects of these two materials on patient comfort were investigated.
The hand is the basic functional organ of the human body and is responsible for complex tasks such as grasping and catching. It also plays an important role in a person's daily life, self-care activities and business life. When the flexor tendon system, which is necessary for the effective use of the hand, is damaged, it can cause physical, socioeconomic deterioration, mood disorders and permanent disabilities in the individual. Treatment of flexor tendon injuries after appropriate surgical repair ıt includes an intensive rehabilitation program. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the early rehabilitation results of patients who underwent a rehabilitation program after Zone II flexor tendon injury by comparing the improvements in joint range of motion, pain, functionality and quality of life with other zone injuries.
It is essential to practice and train appropriate activation techniques to ensure optimum strength development. Knowing the effects of exercise variations that will minimize the tension forces acting on the knee by increasing the activation of the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex muscles, which are critical during sports activities, is extremely important in terms of preventing injuries. The aim of this study is to compare muscular activations during traditional and suspension-based Bulgarian split squat exercises and to examine the effect of trunk position on muscular activations.
The study was conducted as a prospective, randomized controlled study to determine the effect of Mindfulness-Based Childbirth Education on psychosocial outcomes in pregnant women. Pregnant women applied to Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pregnancy Polyclinic and Faculty Member Polyclinic between 15.09.2021-28.06.2022. A total of 82 pregnant women were included in the experimental and control groups. The experimental group received Mindfulness-Based Childbirth Education for 8 weeks and the control group received Information-Based Childbirth Education for 4 weeks. Evaluation was performed in both groups before and after the training and at the end of the 4th postpartum week. The data were collected using the Introductory Information Form, Perceived Stress Scale, Edinburg Postpartum Depression Scale, Birth Self-Efficacy Scale and City Birth Trauma Scale.
