Filter by:The rate of elderly population is increasing in the world. It is reported that the proportion of the world population over the age of 60 will increase to 22% by 2050 (Lichterfeld Kottner et al. 2020). With advancing age, the skin is inevitably affected and becomes more vulnerable to possible damage (Brooks et al. 2017). Additionally, as the skin ages, it undergoes many internal and external deteriorations. Intrinsic aging refers to biological changes that cannot be prevented to a large extent. External factors; exposure to conditions such as ultraviolet rays and radiation (Cowdell, 2011). In addition, in elderly individuals, conditions such as frequent washing, especially washing with harsh products, lack of hygiene, trauma, decreased peripheral satisfaction, immobility, incontinence, diabetes, vascular changes, malnutrition, use of multiple medications, depression, and dementia are among the situations that increase the risk of deterioration in skin health (Cowdell et al. 2015) Hypotheses of the Research H0-1=The care given to elderly patients according to the protocol prepared has no effect on the moisture status of the skin. H1-1= The care given to elderly patients according to the prepared protocol affects the moisture status of the skin. H0-2== The care given to elderly patients with the prepared protocol has no effect on their dermatological lives. H1-2== The care given to elderly patients with the prepared protocol has an impact on their dermatological lives. H0-3= The care provided with the protocol prepared for elderly patients has no effect on general comfort. H1-3= The care provided with the protocol prepared in elderly patients has an effect on general comfort.
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.
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.
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.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the frequency of bleeding and haematomas in patients undergoing coronary angiography or percutaneous coronary intervention via femoral artery and mobilized immediately after the procedure, compared to those mobilized after two hours (following the standard regimen). At the same time the investigators will investigate whether it reduces the discomfort being mobilized immediately after the procedure.
