Filter by:Although the ban on indoor smoking has greatly reduced secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure in public spaces, the home environment is still the primary source of exposure to SHS, particularly in children under the age of five. Although attempts are often made to prevent or reduce children's exposure to SHS, such as education, counseling, and exposure feedback to parents, exposure remains. Although using materials such as brochures, messages, posters and reminders that will minimize the harms such as protecting children from SHS will reduce the exposure, exposure continues in the long term.The aim of this study is to compare the effect of giving exposure feedback to the parents according to the zero tolerance program (SToP) on the urinary cotinine level of the children. In this study with active control group, single-blind (participant), randomized control, stratified block randomization (1:1) will be performed. Totally 58 participants including STOP intervention group (n:29) and the exposure feedback group (n:29), which is the active control group, were planned to be included in the study, which was planned to be conducted between January and September 2023. Cotinine-sensitive dipstick test kits will be used for the primary outcome (urine cotinine). Cotinine-sensitive dipstick test kit is a simple, cost-effective test to determine smoking status. It is an easy-to-read test strip that can be used with either a saliva or a urine sample. Secondary outcomes will be evaluated by information form on exposure to second-hand smoke, an attitude form on exposure to second-hand smoke, and a scale of beliefs towards third-hand smoke. This protocol will demonstrate whether SToP interventions, a sustainable program for children at high risk of secondhand tobacco exposure, are a viable intervention for parents on how to reduce exposure.
IInvasive procedures such as suturing cause pain and fear in children. The high level of pain and fear of children makes it difficult to adapt to the procedure. It is a randomized controlled study planned to examine the effect of watching videos with virtual reality glasses as a distraction method while suturing in 7-12 age group children. Araştırma Acil Müdahale Odasında 01 Ekim 2022-31 Mart 2023 tarihlerinde yürütülmesi planlanmaktadır. In the collection of data; It is planned to use the Child Information Form, Wong-Baker Pain Scale, Child Fear Scale, which was created as a result of the literature review.
It is emphasized in studies that child and parent anxiety that arises in pediatric surgery should be prevented or reduced. According to previous studies, one way to reduce child and parent anxiety in the preoperative period is therapeutic play interventions. This study was planned to compare the effectiveness of two different therapeutic play interventions (bubble breathing play therapy and tell-show-do play therapy) in reducing preoperative anxiety of children and parents who are scheduled for elective surgery.

It has been confirmed that treatment with Shenqu Xiaoshi Oral liquid (SXOL) effectively improves dyspeptic symptoms and is well tolerated. It is not inferior to domperidone syrup and leads to sustained improvement in Chinese children with functional dyspepsia (FD). This study aims to evaluate the possible regulatory effect of SXOL on intestinal microbiome in children with FD, further exploring its related mechanism.
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.
Pediatric cancer patients experience spiritual concerns such as meaningless, hopeless of life, fear of death and losses at all stages of illness. The availability of a valid and reliable instrument that accurately assesses the level of spiritual health among pediatric cancer patients is crucial before any appropriate interventions to solve their spiritual concerns can be appropriately planned and evaluated.
Type 1 DM; It is a chronic metabolic disease that develops as a result of the destruction of pancreatic ß cells, which are responsible for insulin production. Although type 1 DM can occur at any age, the highest incidence is seen between the ages of 10-14. Especially in this age group (7-15 years), who are more social than the previous period with the emergence of diabetes symptoms, both physical restrictions and limitations in their emotional and social functionality permanently change the lives of children with diabetes. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) 2019 data, it is estimated that the patients with Type 1 diabetes in the world are 1,110,100 children/adolescents. This number is increasing each year, and it is estimated that approximately 98,200 children and adolescents under the age of 15 are diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes each year. It is seen that there is an increase in the number of cases in young children in high-risk groups. Therefore, early diagnosis and initiation of treatment is a necessary step. The basic elements of type 1 diabetes treatment are; diabetes education, nutrition, exercise, insulin, blood sugar monitoring and psychosocial counseling. Recently; It is seen that the use of technology in children with diabetes has increased thanks to the opportunity to access information at any time, to choose the information according to one's own needs, to receive service when it is ready, to reduce costs in health, and to be educated at home due to limitations. Taking measures to prevent worsening of glycemic regulation and weight gain in patients with diabetes, especially in situations that cause social isolation such as pandemics, monitoring and management of patients with diabetes during the social isolation process, and enabling patients to access the information they need in a short time are of great importance in terms of diabetes tables. When the literature is examined, it is seen that there are many pages and mobile applications related to this. In this study, it is aimed to improve the self-management of children/adolescents with a mobile application that can be accessed from any device suitable for today. For this, it is aimed to create a mobile application that includes all sub-dimensions of diabetes self-management and contains content that other applications do not have.
