Filter by:Purpose: The study was carried out to determine the effect of virtual reality applied during blood collection upon pain and anxiety in children aged 5-12. Design and Methods: In this randomized controlled study, children included in the sample group were assigned to the control group (n=43) and Aquarium VR group (n=45) using block randomization. "Child State Anxiety Scale " and "Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale" were used to collect the data of the study. Children in the Aquarium VR group watched the "Aquarium VR" application through virtual reality glasses during the procedure. The children in the control group benefited from routine nursing services. The pain scores after blood collection and anxiety scores before and during blood collection in children in both groups were interpreted.
The basis of pediatric dentistry is to provide cooperation in children with various behavioral management techniques. The presence or absence of the parent during dental treatments can be used to ensure the child's compliance with the treatment. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the presence or absence of the parent on the child's dental anxiety and child's behavior during dental treatment. The secondary aim is to examine the relationship between the child's dental fear and the parent's dental fear. Healthy children between the ages of 4-7, who have no dental experience and need restorative treatment will be included in the study. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three study groups (Group 1: Parental absence, Group 2: Parent behind a barrier and Group 3: Parental presence). Psychometric and projective tests will be applied to assess child's and parent's dental anxiety at the beginning of the study. At the second appointment scheduled for the operative treatment of decayed primary molar tooth, first the child will be administered topical and local anesthesia, a rubber dam will be placed on the decayed tooth, the caries will be removed with high and low speed rotary instruments and the cavity will be restored with a compomer filling. Children's heart rates and blood oxygen saturation will be measured by a pulse oximeter during treatment in order to evaluate dental anxiety. Children will be videotaped during treatment so that their behaviour can be evaluated later by another researcher. After treatment, psychometric and projective tests used to measure the child's dental anxiety will be re-administered.
There are currently no visual rehabilitation strategies for children presenting visual field defects consecutive to a brain tumor or its treatment. This study seeks to investigate the use of a home-based stimulation visual rehabilitation program using immerse-virtual reality (IVR) in children aged 4-10 years old with a diagnosis of hemianopia
Background and Aim: Cuffed endotracheal tubes with appropriate size, good cuff design and cuff pressure monitoring in pediatric patients can be used safely without increasing airway morbidity. Inflating the endotracheal tube cuff with more than normal volume may lead to decreased capillary blood flow and mucosal damage, while inflating the endotracheal tube cuff with less than normal volume may lead to an increase in the risk of inadequate ventilation and pulmonary aspiration. In this study, we aimed to determine an optimal cuff inflation volume to achieve safe cuff pressure (20-25 cm H2O) in cuffed endotracheal tubes with an inner diameter of 4.5, 5.0, 5.5 mm, which are commonly used in pediatric anesthesia clinical practice.
Anxiety that turns into an over-generalized and repetitive form is called rumination. When the literature was reviewed, rumination was found to be associated with depression and anxiety, but its applicability to physical activity (PA) behaviors has been largely overlooked. Only a few studies have examined the relationship between rumination and PA behaviors. The study was designed with the aim of determining the Turkish cultural adaptation, validity and reliability of the "Physical Activity-Specific Rumination Scale for Children (PARS-C)" questionnaire developed for children in England in order to determine the intrinsic factors affecting participation in PA.
The study enrolled 33 patients with confirmed recurrent patellar dislocation, including 6 patients with bilateral involvement. In the study group, both side hamstring muscle were evaluated at the velocities of 60 and 180 deg/s for the following parameters: peak torque, torque in 30 degree of the knee flexion, angle of peak torque and peak torque hamstring to quadriceps ratio (H/Q ratio).
Intravenous catheters have become one of the indispensable tools of modern medicine. Peripheric intravenous catheters facilitate the work of healthcare professionals in the treatment phase, especially in diagnostic procedures. Intravenous catheters cause microorganisms to enter the bloodstream by damaging the skin, which is the body's first defense barrier. In this case, it causes infections, sepsis, an increase in mortality and morbidity rates, prolongation of hospital stay, increase in antibiotic use, and medical expenses. The density of the skin flora in the area where the catheter will be inserted is a major risk factor for infection.To prevent complications associated with peripheric intravenous catheters; Performing the procedure in line with the principles of surgical asepsis and following the correct follow-up are among the most important measures that the nurse should take. Also, the child and the parents should be prepared for the procedure and the appropriate environment should be provided. Along with correct catheter placement and care, antisepsis of the cannula placement area is among the indicators of nursing care. As well as the effectiveness and safety of skin disinfectants, topical absorption, lack of toxic effect, local and irritation effect are also important. Solutions with 5% NaHCO3 have recently come to the fore as antiseptic agents. When the literature is examined, it has not been found that there are very few studies on this solution and it is used in skin antisepsis before peripheral intravenous catheterization in children. This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental design to determine the effectiveness of 5% NaHCO3 water solution in catheter site cleaning in pediatric patients by comparing it with the most commonly used antiseptic agents and to monitor the development of catheter-related infections.
The purpose of this prospective study is to assess the efficacy, safety and patient-reported outcomes of the Menicon Z Night orthokeratolgy contact lens for reducing myopia progression in children.
