Filter by:During the aging process, concrete changes such as loss of function in organs and systems resulting from biological, physiological and psychological negativities and difficulty in participating in daily life activities occur. Frailty, one of the geriatric syndromes, is a complex condition that increases vulnerability to stressors and causes a decrease in the physiological reserve necessary to maintain homeostasis in most organs. When examined pathophysiologically, it is thought that frailty is not only evaluated as physical, but psychological and social fragility may also contribute to this situation. It is thought that physical activity that includes strength training to maintain or improve muscle mass throughout aging may reduce muscle loss, an important risk factor for frailty. To treat physical frailty, supervised exercise is recommended as an effective strategy. Yoga; It is a holistic practice that encourages healing through breathing, movement, strength, flexibility and achieving integrity of spirit, body and mind. Being a meditative practice distinguishes yoga from other typical forms of physical exercise, despite having similar metabolic intensity. Regular yoga has the potential to improve flexibility, balance and muscle strength in older individuals. It is also known that yoga improves cognitive function in the elderly, helps manage chronic conditions, reduces pain due to osteoarthritis, improves sleep, increases subjective well-being and health-related quality of life. During the healthy aging process, people may need to be guided according to their individual and health characteristics. By supporting this situation with appropriate nursing care, losses can be reduced and optimum health can be maintained. One of the biggest advantages of yoga applied within the scope of nursing care is that the individual's progress is ensured in a controlled manner by preparing a flow in line with appropriate asana selections, taking into account the individual's health condition. Nursing, by its nature, requires a holistic approach to people. Similarly, the practice of yoga is considered a practice that integrates not only physical health but also the mind, body and soul. This study was planned as a randomized controlled, double-blind and experimental study to evaluate the effect of vinyasa yoga on frailty and anthropometric measurements in elderly individuals.
The aim of this randomized controlled experimental study is to examine the effect of laughter yoga applied to intensive care nurses on perceived stress, work motivation, and mental well-being.
The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the impact of Hospital Clowns (HCs) intervention, besides to hospital hosting conditions, in the well-being of adult female patients during ambulatory chemotherapy. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Do the short-term HCs interventions during ambulatory chemotherapy may increase well-being of adult cancer patients in comparison to the hospital hosting conditions? - Do the short-term HCs interventions, besides the hospital hosting conditions, have effects on well-being biomarkers in association with psychological outcomes? Participants self-collect a sample of saliva followed by psychological assessment, at a first time-point (basal) and at a final time-point (~after 90 minutes of basal) (pre- and post-test), during the chemotherapy treatment session. Researchers have compared an HCs intervention plus hosting conditions - experimental group, EG, and hosting conditions only - control group, CG, by the repeated measures of pre- and post-test of biomarkers in saliva and the psychological functioning evaluations, to see the degree of the impact of HCs intervention in the well-being of the patients in comparison with normal hosting conditions. Each HCs intervention lasts around 15 minutes, and it is performed in the middle of the procedure between pre- and post-test.
The current study is a three-blind, randomized clinical trial study that will be conducted on 60 people with metabolic syndrome. The eligible participants were allocated randomly to one of the two study groups (Fenobet, Placebo). Then, the eligible people were in one of two groups 1) receiving fenugreek extract, 2), receiving placebos and were examined for 8 weeks. At baseline and after two months of intervention, biochemical parameters, and anthropometric indices will be measured.
The study will be carried out in Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal University İzzet Baysal Training and Research Hospital Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic between January 2022 and February 2023. The population of the study will consist of patients who will undergo coronary artery bypass in a planned heart and meet the inclusion criteria. The sample of the study will consist of patients who meet the inclusion criteria, volunteer to participate in the study, and whose written consent has been obtained. To calculate the sample size of the study; NCSS Pass 11.0 program was used. According to the result calculated in this program, it was seen that a total of 60 people, 30 people in each group, should be reached for two groups and 99% power (α: 0.05). With this study, it is aimed to increase the job satisfaction and quality of nurses as well as to increase the satisfaction of the patients in terms of nursing. By presenting the Complementary Care Model to our country for the first time with this study; In this context, it was planned to determine the effects of music therapy, progressive muscle relaxation exercise, aromatherapy and massage on the outcomes (nausea, vomiting, sleep, anxiety, pain, complications and satisfaction) of coronary artery bypass graft patients.
Introduction: The interruption of education within the scope of quarantine and isolation methods during the pandemic process has caused nursing students studying in clinical practice areas to be away from the clinic for a long time. This situation not only affected the anxiety levels of nursing students, but also caused them to feel inadequate and to experience stress. Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of emotional freedom technique on nursing students' styles of coping with anxiety and stress. Method:In this experimentally designed study with pretest-posttest control group, freedom of emotion technique will be applied to the experimental group for 4 sessions. In the pre-implementation phase and after the emotional freedom technique session, the state anxiety scale, coping styles scale, and subjective discomfort level scale will be applied.
Design: This parallel randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted according to the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT). Methods: In total, 90 patients were randomly assigned to either the intervention or the control group. After a 2-week washout period, the intervention group was reassigned to the control and vice versa. The CONSORT checklist for RCT was reported. Psychotic symptoms, emotional reactions, behavioral relaxation responses and heart rates were assessed at 6 time points.
Complementary and alternative medicine is frequently used in the treatment of several groups of diseases.
Aim: This study was planned as randomized controlled to determine the effect of music therapy applied before and during angiography on pain, anxiety and physiological parameters after angiography. The study was planned as a pre-test, post-test design, single center, randomized controlled experimental study.The study is planned to be conducted in the coronary angiography (CAG) unit of a university hospital between January 2021 and December 2021., the study sample will be composed of a total of 102 individuals, 34 in each group (intervention 1 group listening to music before the procedure = 34, intervention 2 group listening to music during the procedure = 34, control group = 34).Data in the research; The Introductory Form will be collected using the State-Trait Anxiety Scale, Vital Signs Follow-up Form and Visual Pain Scale (VAS).Patients in the Intervention 1 group will be offered Turkish Folk, Classical, Turkish Art and Sufi Music as an option, and the music preferred by the patients will be played with headphones for 15-20 minutes before the CAG procedure.Patients in the Intervention 2 group will be offered Turkish Folk, Classical, Turkish Art and Sufi Music as an option, and the music preferred by the patients will be played through a speaker that will be placed in the angiography hall during the CAG procedure. Routine care will be applied to patients in this group and music therapy will not be applied.
Chronic fatigue syndrome is a common problem in society. The treatment of this problem is limited. Acupressure is a treatment method that has become widespread and promising in recent years. For this purpose, the effect of acupressure treatment on chronic fatigue syndrome was investigated.
