Filter by:The aim of the study is to examine the effect of the preoperative education given to the parents of the children who will undergo day surgery on the parents' perception of family-centered care and anxiety. It is a randomized controlled trial. In this parallel group study, intervention group and control group will take place. The research will be carried out in the pediatric surgery service of the Selcuk University Medical Faculty Hospital. A total of 60 parents, including the intervention group (n=30) and the control group (n=30), will be included in the study. Parents to be included in the study will be assigned to intervention and control groups by randomization method. The randomization will be hidden from the researcher conducting the trial until the administration begins. The researcher will be given 60 envelopes and will begin to open the envelopes when he meets the parent. The researcher will learn which group each parent is in just before the application. Data collection tools; information form, state anxiety scale and Family Centered Care Assessment Scale. During the data collection phase, the purpose of the research will be explained to the parents by the researcher, information about the study will be given and consent will be obtained from the parents who agreed to participate in the research through the "Informed Voluntary Consent Form". A brochure prepared in line with the literature and the training given in the hospital will be given to the initiative group and verbal information will be given. On the other hand, only verbal information will be given to the control group, which is done in the hospital routine. The contents of the brochure include Preparation at Home 1 Day Before the Day of Surgery, Preparation at the Hospital on the Day of Surgery, and Home Care After the Surgery. Brochure and information will be given to the intervention group in the polyclinic one day before the surgery. Information Form, State Anxiety Scale and Family Centered Care Evaluation Scale will be filled in the polyclinic. The Information Form will be filled with the information obtained from the parents and the patient file. State Anxiety Scale and Family Centered Care Assessment Scale will be filled during discharge. Data will be analyzed with the IBM SPSS 22 (IBM Corporation, New York, NY) program. Partial eta squared will be calculated for the effect size and the significance level will be accepted as p<0.05.
It is aimed to investigate the effect of introducing the operating room environment with an informative video to pediatric patients aged 7-12 in the preoperative period in day surgery on pain, fear, and patient and parent satisfaction. In line with this purpose, an answer was sought to the question "How did the different education programs given to children who will undergo day surgery have an effect on fear, pain and satisfaction?" It will be conducted in a single center, parallel group, randomized controlled experimental design. The research will be carried out between December 2022 and October 2023 and it is planned to continue for 12 months. The population of the research will be children between the ages of 7-12 who will undergo a day surgery at Tarsus State Hospital, and the sample will be 90 children who meet the criteria for inclusion in the research. Considering that there may be case losses, a total of 90 children (1st experimental group [watched video training]:30 children, 2nd experimental group [provided planned training]: 30 children, control group: 30 children) will be included in the sample group. In the collection of research data; Introductory Information Form, Numerical Pain Scale, Child Fear Scale, Vital Signs Follow-up Form (Appendix 4) will be used. The application will be started after the approval of the ethics committee and the written permission of the institution for the research. Statistical package program (SPSS 20) will be used in the analysis of the research data.
COVID-19 causes a wide spectrum of clinical illness, from upper respiratory symptoms to severe respiratory failure and death. Several plasma biomarkers -such as IL-6, C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and ferritin, among others- have been studied as markers of disease severity and prognosis. Besides, as alveolar damage biomarkers such as Surfactant protein D (SP-D), Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6), and soluble Receptor for Advanced Glycation end products (sRAGE) can be used in lung diseases as well as COVID-19 pneumonia. The investigators hypothesized that serum SP-D, KL-6 and sRAGE levels increases in the setting of COVID-19 pneumonia. In this prospective study the investigators aimed to determine the clinical value of serum KL-6, SP-D and sRAGE levels as a prognostic marker in children with COVID-19 patients. In the literature review, it has been determined that there is no study conducted or published in pediatric patients for this purpose, and it is aimed that our study will be a pioneer study on this subject.
The study has been designed to investigate the effect of 12 weeks of using virtual reality based exercises on pulmonary functions, exercise capacity, functional performance, and quality of life in children with surgically-repaired congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
8 weeks of inspiratory muscle training combined with a pulmonary rehabilitation program increases respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, functional capacity, and quality of life in chest burned children.
The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between the nutritional content of the diet consumed by children and adolescents (0-18 years old) with the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and metabolic control. In this cross-sectional study, 150 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes who came to Ege University Child Health and Diseases Department, Pediatric Endocrine and Diabetes Department for regular check-ups (4 diabetes control/year) and kept food consumption records in the last 1 year will be included. Body weight and height measurements of the cases will be done by the same person in Ege University Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes BD Polyclinic. Turkish Standard Institute approved Baster brand weighing instrument with 0.1 kg intervals and height measurements will be made with Harpander brand stadiometer with 0.1 cm intervals. SD scores of body weight, height and body mass index for age Neyzi et al. It will be calculated using the reference values developed for Turkish children by Age, diabetes age, gender, height - body weight-body mass index SD score, HbA1c level, daily energy intake, percentage of energy from carbohydrate-protein-fat-saturated fat in energy, daily fiber intake amount of the cases will be recorded in the case report form. The biochemical values of the participants will be taken from the file records. The data will be entered into the statistical package program and the patients' 1) carbohydrate, protein, fat, saturated fat intake, 2) vitamin-mineral intake, and 3) fruit and vegetable consumption will be compared with the recommendations in national and international guidelines and their relationship with metabolic control will be investigated
Statement of the problem: • Does the thoracic block technique has effect on atelectasis in Children on Mechanical Ventilation? Null hypothesis: • there is effect of thoracic block technique on atelectasis in children on Mechanical ventilation.
In this study the usability of the Omnipod DASH insulin administration system is evaluated prospectively by two questionnaires. The effect on the metabolic control is evaluated retrospectively by analysis of data from the medical records of the patients.
Cognitive and learning difficulties created by traumatic events related to difficulties and trauma experienced during the Syrian civil war and resettlement period in Turkey might have been complicated by the limitations of the COVID19 pandemic. Thus, it is of utmost importance to find out and implement effective and feasible ways of intervention to ameliorate adverse effects of the refugee experience and COVID19 pandemic on cognitive functions, well-being, quality of life, and occupational balance in these children. Thus, this research was designed a randomized controlled trial in which examining the effects of a customized online occupational training program encompassing various activities on the aforementioned aspects of refugee children resettled in Turkey. The present study was designed as a randomized controlled study, including pre-post testing. Occupational balance, well-being and health-related quality of life were evaluated via the Occupational Balance Questionnaire (OBQ11), Well Star Scale (WSS) and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL). The intervention group attended online occupational therapy classes. Online classes were carried out as 5 sessions per week, each session lasting 1 hour, for 3 weeks. Questionnaires performed at the outset of the study and following the training program. Overall, 52 refugee children were randomized into intervention and control groups, each including 26 children. The mean WSS, PedsQL and OBQ11 scores significantly improved in the intervention group than in the control group. This was the first study investigating the effects of a customized online training course on well-being, occupational balance and quality of life in Syrian refugee children, also affected unfavorably by COVID19 lockdown. The results showed significant improvements in all study scales that we used to quantify the alterations in the aforementioned traits.
Errors during a stressful pediatric critical situation occur more frequently than thought. The main aim of the study is to quantify the number and the type of errors made by pediatric paramedical teams during the management of vital emergencies (medication dosage calculation, compliance with algorithms for management of cardiac arrest…). Then, simulations with and without the EasyPédia software will be compared during a high-fidelity simulation of a standardized pediatric cardiac arrest scenario in order to evaluate its impact on reducing errors during the management of a resuscitation. This study will be a single-center and observational trial in the pediatric intensive care unit of the Besançon University Hospital.
