Filter by:The aim of this project is to determine the effect of training given to children aged 11-14 on hand hygiene and mask use. In line with this general purpose, the hypotheses of the research are as follows: H0= Education given to children aged 11-14 on hand hygiene and mask use has no effect on children's hand hygiene and mask use behaviors. H1= With the education given to children aged 11-14 on hand hygiene and mask use, children will exhibit more correct hand hygiene and mask use behaviors.
This research was planned to evaluate the effectiveness of the technology-based psychosocial empowerment program for home care for children aged 8-18 years with cancer and their parents as a parallel-group randomized controlled study design.The required institutional permission and ethics committee approval was received.The study group of the study consisted of 72 children and parents (intervention group [n=36], control group [n=36]). Data were collected using the descriptive features form, the General Self-Efficacy Scale-Pediatric Cancer Version, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children, the Pediatric Cancer Coping Scale, the General Self-Efficacy Scale for parents, the Problem Solving Inventory, and the Psychological Resilience Scale for Parents of Children with Cancer. The data were stored in the SPSS 25 program.
To examine the effect of the Helfer skin tap technique and ShotBloker application on pain and fear experienced during intramuscular injection in children aged 6-12 in the pediatric emergency unit. It was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine its effect on fear. The population of the study will be children aged 6-12 years who applied to the Tarsus State Hospital, and Pediatric Emergency Clinic and the sample will be 177 children who will undergo intramuscular intervention and meet the criteria for inclusion in the study. In data collection; Data collection form, Wong-Baker Scale, and Child fear scale will be used. In order to examine the mean scores of pain and fear according to intramuscular administration techniques in children, appropriate tests will be used by making an analysis of conformity to normal distribution.
This proposal aims to describe research that will utilize first aid in primary education students and will attempt to identify the frequency with which the training should be repeated and the type of trainer who will carry out the training program.
Rationale: Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic, debilitating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) which is diagnosed during childhood in up to one in ten patients. The use of anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α agents has significantly ameliorated CD management. Infliximab (IFX) is the first anti-TNF-α agent registered for pediatric CD. The current dosing recommendation of IFX is extrapolated from adult studies, and it is a weight-based dose (5 mg/kg) delivered during induction (infusion at weeks 0, 2, and 6) and maintenance (every 8 weeks). However, pediatric patients have a 25-40% lower drug exposure compared to adults, particularly children under 10 years of age, resulting in diminished efficacy and an increased risk of developing a complicated disease course. The investigators hypothesize that an intensified IFX induction scheme (instead of the current dosing recommendation) is more effective in the treatment of pediatric CD patients. Objective: The primary study objective of our study is to assess the efficacy of an IFX intensified induction scheme vs. a standard dosing schedule in improving drug exposure without treatment escalation in pediatric CD patients. Secondary objectives are clinical and biochemical remission without treatment escalation, development of antibodies to IFX (ATI) and adverse reactions. Study design: An international, multicenter, prospective, open-label trial. Study population: Anti-TNF-α naïve children (age 3-15 years) with CD and an indication to start IFX treatment. Intervention: IFX will be given intravenously at 10 mg/kg at week 0, and 5 mg/kg at weeks 2, 4, and 8 to all patients (induction). Maintenance will start at week 12, and then ideally continue every 6 weeks till week 24 (end of study). IFX trough levels will be measured at weeks 4, 12, and 24. During the maintenance, the IFX dose and/or interval adjustments, the IFX discontinuation or the start of a co-medication (i.e., an immunomodulator) will be possible on indication (i.e., primary nonresponse, secondary loss of response, intolerance to study medication) at the physicians' discretion. Follow-up will continue for the duration of the study (week 24). Main endpoint: Proportion of patients with IFX TL ≥ 5 µg/mL at week 12 without treatment escalation.

Comparison of the efficacy and safety of short-course high-dose prednisone and dexamethasone in the treatment of children with newly diagnosed immune thrombocytopenia (ITP)
In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of breathing exercise applied before the enema procedure, which causes fear, pain and anxiety in children aged 6-12 years who applied to the pediatric emergency service, on fear, pain and anxiety in children. This research is in pretest-posttest, parallel group, randomized controlled experimental design. The universe of the research consists of children aged 6-12 years who applied to the pediatric emergency department of Iğdır State Hospital (Turkey) between May 2022 and June 2022.
Jinzhen oral liquid and Jinhuaqinggan Granules were used in the treatment and the control group for 14 days, respectively, to evaluate the effect of Jinzhen oral liquid in treating children with novel coronavirus infection.
Purpose: This study investigates the effects of squeezing a soft ball, using a kaleidoscope, or blowing bubbles during intravenous cannulation on the pain and fear of children between the ages of 4 and 6. Design and Methods: This study is a randomised controlled study. In the study, there were 30 children in the soft ball group, 30 children in the kaleidoscope group, 30 children in the bubbles group, and 30 children in the control group.
