Filter by:Purpose: This study will conducted to the effect of three different techniques used during peripheral intravenous cannulation (PIVC) application on vein visibility, pain and comfort in cancer patients receiving palliative care. Design: This is a prospective, randomized controlled experimental study. Methods: The population of the research will be cancer patients who applied to Ege University Medical Faculty Hospital Oncology unit between April 2023 and November 2024. The number of applications due to palliative care and cancer treatment in the clinic in 2021 is 352 patients. For this reason, direct sample selection was not made in the study, and the sample calculation was made according to the number of patients registered in the unit and the results of previous research (Chiao et al., 2013; Aulagnier et al., 2014). Calculations were made using the "G.Power-3.17" program with 95% confidence, an effect size of 0.4, and a statistical test power of at least 80%. Accordingly, it was aimed to reach 120 patients, including at least 40 in each group. In the study, randomization will be made according to vein visibility.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine effects of training involving rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) on upper-limb movements and functions in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Patients will be randomly divided into two groups: the RAS group and the no-RAS group. Patients will receive training with or without the aid of RAS based on their groups. The training task is to use the right hand to take beads from one bowl to another bowl. The box and block test and the Jebsen hand function test will be used before and after training (i.e., pretest and posttest respectively) to assess patients' upper-limb speed and function. Researchers will compare scores of the box and block test and the Jebsen hand function test between the two groups at pretest and posttest to determine effects of RAS.
