Filter by:This study investigates the impact of earthquake trauma on compassion fatigue among nurses working in emergency services following the devastating earthquakes on 6 February 2023, in Kahramanmaraş, Turkey. These earthquakes, with magnitudes of approximately 7.7 and 7.6, affected 11 provinces and resulted in over 50,000 deaths and 100,000 injuries, placing emergency service nurses at the forefront of dealing with the aftermath and trauma. The concept of compassion fatigue, characterised by a reduced capacity for empathy after repeated exposure to traumatic events, is a significant concern for nurses who have been directly involved in the care of earthquake victims. This study aims to explore the extent of earthquake trauma and compassion fatigue among these nurses, examining the relationship between these two conditions and their long-term effects. Given the limited research on post-traumatic stress disorder and compassion fatigue among emergency service nurses, this study seeks to contribute valuable insights into the psychological impacts of disaster response on healthcare professionals. The hypotheses tested aim to better understand the risks and psychological burdens faced by nurses in the wake of such natural disasters.
Cancer is a disease that causes the most deaths worldwide and is challenging for patients and caregivers both physically and psychosocially. Physicians and nurses working in oncology clinics perform a demanding profession providing compassionate care and treatment to patients struggling with life-threatening diseases. The emotional cost of caring for patients diagnosed with cancer can lead to compassion fatigue, burnout, and decreased psychological well-being among healthcare professionals. For this reason, this research is planned as a randomized controlled study to examine the effect of Mindfulness meditation practice on compassion fatigue, burnout, and psychological well-being in physicians and nurses working in oncology units.
The goal of this intervention program is to provide the feasibility of a culturally adapted version of the SOLAR program among mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) workers who provide psychological or psychosocial support to the survivors of the earthquakes on February 6, 2023, in Türkiye. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Will the SOLAR Group Program reduce psychological distress at the post-test and follow-up compared to the pre-test? 2. Will the SOLAR Group Program reduce secondary traumatic stress at the post-test and follow-up compared to the pre-test? 3. Will the SOLAR Group Program reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms at the post-test and follow-up compared to pre-test? Participants will be asked to sign a consent form. Upon accepting it, they will fill out: - a demographic form, - the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), - Assessment of Suicidal Thoughts for the screening. Before the SOLAR intervention program, participants will be asked to complete: - the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale (STSS), - Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), - the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) if they approve participation in these surveys. After collecting their pre-test scores, they will receive the SOLAR intervention program. During the program, they will be asked to participate in each session, lasting 5 weeks. After the program, they will be asked to participate process evaluation interview.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the impact of an online compassion-based intervention on burnout among specialist rehabilitation providers. Post-intervention interviews aim to gather information on: burnout and compassion, experiences with the intervention, barriers and facilitators to taking part, and suggestions for improving online course delivery.

Group 1: Supervised circuit-based resistance exercise (2 days/week) Group 2: Supervised circuit-based resistance exercise (2 days/week) + moderate-to-high intensity home-based walking/light jogging program (3 days/week) Group 3: Self-paced home-based walking program (3 days/week)
This research is an experimental study with a randomized pre-test-post-test control group to evaluate the effect of the cognitive behavioral approach-based stress coping skills training program carried out by tele-nursing on the palliative care nurses' perception of stress, resilience and compassion fatigue. The main questions it aims to answer are: Question 1. Will the cognitive behavioral approach-based stress coping skills training program to be carried out through tele-nursing have an effect on the increase in the stress coping score of the palliative care nurses in the intervention group? Question 2. Will the cognitive behavioral approach-based stress coping skills training program to be carried out through tele-nursing have an effect on the reduction of stress perception among palliative care nurses in the intervention group? Question 3. Will the cognitive behavioral approach-based stress coping skills training program to be carried out through tele-nursing have an impact on the increase in resilience of palliative care nurses in the intervention group? Question 4. Will the cognitive behavioral approach-based stress coping skills training program to be carried out through tele-nursing have an effect on the reduction of compassion fatigue in palliative care nurses in the intervention group? The research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental design with the required ethics committee and institution permissions, a three-month announcement and initiation period, and an eight-week intervention period. Data will be collected twice at baseline and after intervention (Week 9). Personal information form, Perceived Stress Scale, Coping with Stress Scale, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Quality of Life Scale for Employees will be used in the pre-test phase of data collection. Participants meeting the inclusion criteria will be assigned to the intervention and control groups by randomization. In order to support nurses in the intervention group to gain awareness of stress and anxiety and develop positive coping skills with stress, a total of 8 sessions of 40 minutes are planned, including interaction steps based on education and cognitive approach. Individuals will be given homework from the second week and they will be asked to deliver these homeworks to the researcher 2 days before the next interview, and it is planned to send reminder messages from the WastApp group created. Participants who do not deliver the assignments given in this study to the researcher on time will be excluded from the research even if they participate in online training. No intervention will be applied to individuals assigned to the control group. Participants will be informed about the Mobile Mental Health Support System created by the Turkish Ministry of Health and will be directed to this application. It is planned to apply Perceived Stress Scale, Coping with Stress Scale, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Quality of Life Scale for Employees at the 9th week for the application of post-tests.
Serum lactate has been utilized as a standard in guiding management of orthopedic injuries. Elevated preoperative lactate has been associated with a higher likelihood of postoperative complications. However, lactate's role in guiding operative timing in non-critical long-bone fractures has not been previously explored. This study investigates lactate's role in guiding surgical timing and predicting complications secondary to delayed definitive correction in non-critical long-bone fractures with Injury Severity Score <16.
