Filter by:Pain is an unpleasant experience that can negatively affect all aspects of the patients life and lead to a decrease in quality of life. Pain can also be encountered as a reason for a surgical intervention. For this reason, it has become one of the most common problems experienced by patients in the postoperative period. Pain management is a universal requirement in health care and is of great importance for patients. If the pain is not managed well in the postoperative period, it may cause some complications in the patient. If pain is controlled, early discharge of the patient, lower healthcare costs and increased patient satisfaction are achieved. In terms of providing effective pain control, it is provided by nurses, who are health professionals, to spend more time with the patient, to lead the patient in pain management and to analyze the results. The aim of the thesis study is to evaluate the effect of foot reflexology on pain intensity, sleep quality and bowel functions in patients who have undergone appendectomy surgery.
Objective: This research was conducted to evaluate the effect of web-based education on psychomotor skills teaching and information levels in nursing students. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted as a randomized controlled clinical trial. The universe of the research consisted of first-year students of the nursing department of a university. The sample of the study consisted of 90 students, experimental and control group. At the beginning of the study, the drug administration course was explained theoretically to all students. Psychomotor skill teaching was demonstrated to both groups in the laboratory with demonstration technique. Then, pre-test data were collected. Students in the experimental group were given a link to the web page where they could watch the clinical knowledge and skills teaching video and a user profile was created. The students had the opportunity to watch and repeat the training videos and lecture notes as much as they wanted for two weeks. In the last stage, the knowledge and skill level of both groups was measured again and post-test data were collected. In order to collect data, intravenous-intramuscular injection skill checklists and drug administration knowledge tests created by the researchers were used.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of virtual reality application on pain management, comfort, and care satisfaction in patients undergoing thyroidectomy-parathyroidectomy. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the use of virtual reality reduce the level of postoperative pain in patients undergoing thyroid and parathyroid surgery? 2. Does the use of virtual reality increase the postoperative comfort level in patients undergoing thyroid and parathyroid surgery? 3. Does the use of virtual reality increase the level of satisfaction after surgery in patients undergoing thyroid and parathyroid surgery? Participants in the experimental group watched a virtual reality video containing nature and sea images and music playing in the background for 15 minutes. Participants in the control group received routine clinical care after thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy. The pain levels of the patients in the experimental group were lower, and the comfort level was higher than in the control group. There was no difference between the groups in terms of satisfaction level with nursing care.
The aim of this randomised controlled study was to examine the effect of peer counselling on first-year nursing students' perceptions of nursing image in orientation processes.The H0 hypothesis of the study is that there is no statistical difference between the scores of the image scale towards nursing between the experimental and control groups after the peer-assisted orientation process.
Workplace violence in hospitals and other health care settings is a troublesome issue and has severe consequences for the entire health care system. In recent years, workplace violence has made a great threat to nurse assistants. Therefore, violence prevention education is a part of medical personnel's job responsibility. However, a theory-based violence prevention education program for healthcare settings was limited. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of experiential learning theory-based medical jujitsu training on perception on violence, attitude on violence, self-efficacy, and turnover intention among nurse assistants
Summary Aim: This research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of education given to students using digital storytelling in safe pediatric intravenous drug administration. Method: It is a randomized controlled experimental study. The sample of the study consisted of 84 nursing students. The students included in the study were divided into two equal groups: the experimental and control groups. Digital education material of the experimental group and theoretical education was applied to the control group. Before and after the training, a post-knowledge test was made and evaluated.
Abstract Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of reflexology on fatigue in kidney transplant patients. Design: The study will be conducted as randomized, controlled and experimental. Method: The data of the research will be collected in the transplant clinic of a foundation university practice and research hospital between 07.12.2020 - 18.06.2021. While the population of the study consisted of 254 patients who underwent kidney transplantation in the transplant unit, 68 patients were included in the sample. The patients included in the study were divided into reflexology (n=34) and control (n=34) groups with the help of a program. Data will be collected using Questionnaire and Piper Fatigue Scale. Chi-square test, Student's t test, Mann Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test, correlation, generalized estimation equation and Least Significant Difference tests will be used in the evaluation of the data. Keywords: kidney transplantation, reflexology, fatigue, nursing.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of abdominal massage on pain and distention in patients who underwent colonoscopy. Methods: This randomized controlled study was conducted between October 2019 and December 2021 with the participation of 60 patients who underwent colonoscopy in the endoscopy unit of a university hospital. Thirty patients performing abdominal massage after colonoscopy were included in the experimental group.
Aims: To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of Health Coaching in empowering hospitalised chronic heart failure patients. Methods: pre-post quasi-experimental pilot study was carried out with 59 patients, allocated into the pre-intervention group (N=29) and post-intervention group (N=30) in a cardiology ward of a hospital. The intervention consisted of the knowledge traslation acquired on health coaching by the nurses of the cardiology unit to their care activity with CHF patients. The Patient empowerment in long-term conditions Questionnaire was used to measure heart failure patients: Attitude and sense of control; Shared and informed decision-making; and Information seeking and peer sharing, on two occasions: T1, pre-intervention, and T2, after completion of the intervention.
Purpose: The fact that young people starting university during the pandemic period continue this academic period with distance education increases the stress they experience. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the effect of mindfulness-based psychoeducation program applied with distance education on the psychological well-being, emotional intelligence, and stress levels of youth.

The population of the study consisted of 120 newly enrolled students in the nursing department of a foundation university, and the sample consisted of a total of 59 students who met the inclusion criteria of the study. In the sample, while 29 students formed the intervention group, 30 students formed the control group. Mindfulness-Based Psychoeducation Program (MBPP) was applied to the intervention group twice a week for 4 weeks. Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14), Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWB), and Revised Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale (SEIS) were used as measurement tools. Further, t-test, Mann Whitney U analysis, and Wilcoxon signed-row test were used in the analysis of the data.
