Filter by:Purposes: Describe the background information and clinical characteristics of respirator-dependent patients, verify the sleep and comfort effects of respirator-dependent patients whether or not they receive a lavender essential oil warm water foot bath, and compare changes of the sleep, comfort, heartbeat, and blood pressure in respirator-dependent patients before and after receiving a lavender essential oil warm water foot bath.
One of the most frequently required treatments for respiratory distress in neonatal intensive care is continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) support through the nose. NCPAP application has many advantages but also disadvantages and complications. Gastric-abdominal distension, which is a complication of NCPAP application, is caused by gas entering the stomach and gastrointestinal tract. Feeding intolerance may develop in the newborn due to abdominal distension. In recent studies, it has been determined that non-pharmacological methods and supportive developmental care practices used to increase the comfort and reduce pain and stress of babies who experience painful procedures such as NCPAP application and who are exposed to the stressful neonatal intensive care unit environment are effective in increasing comfort and reducing pain and stress. These practices include therapeutic touch, mother's voice, fetal position, white noise, lullaby, wrapping and massage. In the literature, a quasi-experimental study examining the effect of massage (Field massage technique) on the respiration, heart rate and oxygen saturation of 28-34 week old newborns with respiratory distress syndrome who received nasal CPAP showed that massage had no significant effect on oxygen saturation, but respiration and heart rate decreased after the massage. has been determined. There are studies in the literature examining the effects of therapeutic touch, mother's voice, fetal position, white noise, lullaby and wrapping in order to increase the comfort of newborns receiving nasal CPAP, reduce stress and pain, and prolong sleep time. However, no research has been found in the literature examining the effects of massage on the stress, comfort and health parameters of newborns receiving nasal CPAP.
Cholecystectomy is the most common major abdominal surgical procedure in western countries. Patients may experience fear and anxiety before surgery. Stress ball, one of the distraction methods, is an effective method in providing cognitive focus. It is seen that the stress ball method is used to reduce patients' anxiety and pain. Squeezing the stress ball during the surgical procedure allows patients to have direct control over the object, increasing their sense of empowerment. In this way, it has a positive effect on anxiety and patient satisfaction without interfering with the surgical procedure. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative use of stress ball on patients' fear, stress and comfort in order to determine the effect of stress ball applied before cholecystectomy surgery on patients' surgical fear, stress and comfort. It is thought that the data obtained as a result of the research will provide evidence for the effect of the stress ball, which is a non-pharmacological method used before the procedure, on fear, stress and comfort.
Purpose of the research: This research was planned to evaluate the effect of breast milk and dextrose application, which are pain relief methods, on the pain and comfort levels of preterm babies who will have an orogastric tube inserted in the 3rd and 4th levels of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Hypotheses: H0: The methods used during orogastric tube insertion do not affect the pain and comfort levels of preterm babies. H1: Preterm babies who are breastfed feel less pain during orogastric tube insertion. H2: Preterm babies given dextrose during orogastric tube insertion feel less pain. H3: The comfort level of preterm babies who are breastfed during orogastric tube insertion is higher. H4: The comfort level of preterm babies given dextrose during orogastric tube insertion is higher. H5: There is a difference between the pain and comfort levels of preterm patients in terms of group, time, and group-time, depending on the intervention applied.
The research will be conducted experimentally in the form of randomized controlled studies to determine the effect of safe swaddling of newborns after bathing on stress and comfort. The population of the research consists of newborns receiving treatment and care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a State Hospital located in the north of Turkey, and the sample consists of 72 babies who meet the sample selection criteria. Descriptive Characteristics Form, Newborn Stress Scale and Newborn Comfort Behavior Scale were used to collect data. Babies will be bathed in the bathtub and then swaddled. The baby will be placed in the incubator and kept for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, the swaddle will be opened quietly and slowly, without disturbing the body posture. Stress and comfort scores will be given by two observers by video recording the babies before bathing, before swaddling and after swaddling.
This study aimed to investigate the impact of the CoolSense method on arteriovenous fistula cannulation pain and the comfort levels of hemodialysis patients.
This study aims to examine the effect of progressive relaxation exercise on nurses' life satisfaction, comfort and burnout levels. Data will be collected by using Descriptive Characteristics Information Form, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Nurse Comfort Scale and Burnout Scale. The nurses in the intervention group will be asked to perform relaxation exercises. The nurses in the control group will not receive any intervention.
This study was conducted as randomized controlled study to evaluate the effect of Therapeutic Touch on acute pain and comfort level in women who delivered by cesarean section. Personal information form was used as data collection form, VAS was used to assess pain, and PPCQ was used to assess comfort. When power analysis was performed, the sample size was calculated to be at least 45 participants for each group (45 experiments, 45 controls). Experimental group received deep Therapeutic Touch by investigators two time at 10th and 40nd hours after cesarean section.
The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of using gel pillows on the sleep quality and general comfort levels of patients in the preoperative period.The main hypotheses are: H1: 'The sleep quality of patients who use gel pillows in the preoperative period is higher than those who do not use gel pillows' H2: "The general comfort level of the patients who used gel pillows in the preoperative period is higher than those who did not use gel pillows". Participants will be asked to use a gel pillow with a cooling surface the night before the day of surgery. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare patients' control group to see if there is any difference in sleep quality and comfort levels.
This randomized controlled study evaluates the effect of acupressure application on fatigue, quality of life and comfort in hemodialysis patients. In our research, it is aimed to reduce fatigue, increase the quality of life and comfort level in hemodialysis patients with acupressure applied.
