Filter by:Objective: This study aims to evaluate the knowledge, skills, and motivation of parents regarding management of epileptic seizures, by developing a "Virtual Reality Based Seizure Management Education Program for Parents (VR-ESMEPP). Method: This study is a double-blinded, pretest-posttest, observational randomized controlled study. The administration stage of the study was conducted between September 2018-February 2020 with parents of 91 children who were diagnosed with epilepsy and were being followed in the Pediatric Neurology Outpatient Department of Akdeniz University Hospital. The parents were distributed into groups with simple randomization (VR Group n=45-Control Group n=46). During the preparation stage of the study, data collection tools "Management-of-Epileptic Seizure-Training-Program-Prepared-with-Virtual-Reality-Technology" and "Patient Scenario Regarding Secondary Generalized Tonic-Clonic Epileptic Scenario with Aura" were prepared and integrated into the virtual reality glasses. In the administration stage, the intervention group was administered the pretest, then the training program, and a posttest immediately following the training. The participants were monitored on the 15th day. For the control group, a pretest, routine outpatient clinical practices, and a posttest were carried out; and the participants were monitored on day 15. In both groups, data were obtained with data collection tools that were integrated into the virtual reality glasses. An approval from the Ethics Committee of Akdeniz University, a written permission from the Akdeniz University Hospital, and informed consent from the parents were obtained to conduct the study.
The aim of the study was to determine the effects of providing procedural informational animation, Buzzy application during the procedure, the combination of both interventions (Animated video and Buzzy), and standard care on pain management during venipuncture in children aged 6-12 years.
This research will be carried out with the aim of making this practice practical with simulation-based training and improving cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills, and then applying it in the clinic, before applying the nasogastric tube placement application, which is included in enteral nutrition, to the child in the clinic.
Evaluate the quality of sensorimotor representations in typically developing children aged 5 to 8 years.
The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental research with the purpose of determining the effect of the methods of cold application and Shotblocker on the pain and anxiety level of the children in reducing the pain associated with the intramuscular injection. The hypotheses of the study: Hypothesis 0. Shotblocker and the cold application to the injection site prior to the injection are not effective in reducing the pain associated with the intramuscular injection in children. Hypothesis 1. Using ShotBlocker during the intramuscular injection reduces the pain and anxiety experienced by the child. Hypothesis 2. Applying cold to the injection site prior to the intramuscular injection reduces the pain and anxiety experienced by the child. This research was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study in a university hospital in Çorum. The sample of the study comprised 150 children aged 7 to 12 years who were brought to the pediatric injection room in a university hospital and had intramuscular injection. The children were randomized into the Shotblocker (n=50), cold application (n=50) and control (n=50) groups. In addition to Wong-Baker Pain Scale and Child Anxiety Scale, the Child Information Form was used in the study to determine the introductory characteristics of the children and their family.
This study aims to determine whether parental involvement during venipuncture reduces venipuncture pain and anxiety in children with cancer.
The evaluation of diaphragm function in ventilated patients is not easy. One option is to use esophageal pressure (Pes) measurements but recently, diaphragmatic ultrasound has proven itself as a useful tool in this setting. In adults the thickening fraction (TF), which describes the difference in thickness between end-inspiration and end-expiration, correlates with the diaphragmatic pressure-time product per breath (PTPdi), an esophageal pressure-derived work of breathing parameter. There is a lack of data that tells us whether the same is true in children. This physiological study intends to look at the correlation between esophageal pressures and thickening fraction assessed by ultrasound in a pediatric cohort of patients.
ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of the study is to determine the effects of animal-assisted activities on the stress and social anxiety levels of physically disabled children. Method: The research was carried out in two separate Special Education and Rehabilitation Centers providing education under the Antalya Provincial Directorate of National Education. The data of the study were obtained between November 2019-September 2020. The study is a single blind randomized controlled study designed in a pretest, posttest and follow-up design. The study was carried out in two different institutions to prevent contamination. Institutions are determined by an independent lottery method. The sample of the study consisted of 44 physically disabled children between the ages of 8-11, as the intervention group (n: 21) and the control group (n: 23). A 45-60 minute structured animal supported activity program (HayDAP) was applied to the intervention group, once a week for 7 weeks. Interviews were conducted individually. The data of the study were obtained using Personal Information Form (KBF), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Social Anxiety Scale for Children. Follow-up evaluation was made at the end of the 1st month following the completion of the application. There was no intervention in the control group. The data were analyzed using the Pearson Ki-Square Test in SPSS 23.0 package program, Fisher's Exact Test if large, Shapiro-Wilks Test, Box M, Bonferroni and mixed pattern ANOVA tests. A 95% significance level (or α = 0.05 margin of error) was used to determine the differences in the analyzes.
The overall aim of the study is to determine whether point-of-care (bedside) Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) testing would be better than laboratory APTT testing in the PICU population (restricted to children under 16 years of age).
Regular physical activity (PA) contributes to reduced risk of obesity, chronic disease, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, and can improve emotional and mental health, learning, productivity, and social skills. Latina girls are less likely to meet guidelines for moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) than non-Hispanic white girls; factors that contribute to low PA rates among Latina girls include sex role expectations, low PA competency, few active role models, lack of parental support for PA, and lack of access to resources. The goal of this study, informed by social cognitive theory and family systems theory, is to design, implement, and evaluate an intervention promoting physical activity among Latina pre-adolescent girls (aged 8-11) and their mothers. The intervention is based on evidence suggesting that parent-child interventions and single-sex interventions are more effective at improving PA. Mothers and daughters will participate in a 12-week virtual intervention where they will engage in weekly 1.5-hour sessions that incorporate didactic teaching, skill-building, interactive discussions, and PA. Each session will include at least 30 minutes of PA. The intervention will be compared with a control condition that will receive an abbreviated version of the intervention following completion of all measurement points. Ninety mother-daughter dyads will be randomly assigned to the intervention or the wait-list control condition. The primary aim is to determine whether the intervention will increase MVPA among Latina girls in the intervention condition relative to those in the control condition. The investigators hypothesize that daughters participating in Conmigo will have higher minutes of MVPA at M2 and M3 compared to girls in the delayed treatment control condition.
