There are about 15072 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Turkey. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The aim of the study was to examine the acute effect of self-proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching on chest mobility, posterior muscle chain mobility and respiratory functions in caregivers of children with developmental delays. In the study: 1. Does self-PNF stretching have an effect on chest mobility and posterior muscle chain mobility in caregivers of children with developmental delay? 2. Does self-PNF stretching have an effect on respiratory functions in caregivers of children with developmental delays? The questions were answered.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of health education given to female teachers on HPV knowledge and screening test. The population of the study consisted of all female teachers belonging to the Bucak Directorate of National Education between September 2021 and March 2022. The sample of the study consisted of 144 healthy female teachers who were registered in the institutions affiliated to the District Directorate of National Education between the specified dates, met the inclusion criteria and volunteered to participate in the study. In this study area, with the assumption that the rate of cervical cancer screening test of 70% of the women in the Healthy Life Centre after the trainings would be considered significant, the effect size d=0.18 was calculated to include at least 98 women in 3 groups at 95% power and 0.05 error level. The calculation was performed with the 'G Power 3.1.9.2' package programme. In this context, the total sample of the study was determined as 156 participants, 52 in each group.
This study was planned to standardize foot care behaviors with a patient-participated care package approach, to ensure healing of existing wounds, and to evaluate the effect on foot care behaviors to prevent the development of new diabetic foot ulcers. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 97 patients, 49 patients in the care package group and 48 patients in the control group. Hypotheses of the Study H1. The foot care behaviors of patients who receive a patient-participatory care package approach to diabetic foot ulcer prevention will be higher than those of patients who do not receive a care package. H2. Patient-involved care package approach prevents the development of new diabetic foot ulcers. H3. Patient-involved care package approach provides healing of existing diabetic ulcers.
This study investigates the effect of a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-based Family Counseling Program on the anxiety and mindfulness levels of university students experiencing future anxiety. The research highlights the significance of university education in career development, noting the associated biopsychosocial challenges faced by students. These challenges often manifest as future anxiety-a condition characterized by fear, uncertainty, and stress about future prospects, which can impact students' academic performance, social relationships, and overall mental health. Literature reveals that interventions like CBT, mindfulness practices, and family counseling are effective in managing anxiety and enhancing emotional resilience. The program integrates these approaches to provide dual-layer support, addressing individual thought patterns and family dynamics, thus potentially reducing anxiety and increasing mindfulness among students. This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the program's effectiveness in a controlled setting, contributing to both national and international literature on mental health interventions.
The objective of this study was to examine the impact of educational video viewing, reading educational books, and playing educational mobile games on children's dental anxiety prior to dental examinations. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does reading educational books before dental examinations reduce dental anxiety in children? 2. Does watching educational videos before dental examinations reduce children's dental anxiety? 3. Does playing educational mobile games before dental check-ups reduce dental anxiety in children?
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of sensory integration therapy (SIT) applied in addition to neurodevelopmental treatment (NDT) on Motor Function, Balance, and Trunk Control in diplegia cerebral palsy
The aim of this study was to examine the acute effect of dual-task aerobic exercise on cognitive load and myocardial oxygen consumption in healthy sedentary individuals. In this study: 1. Does dual-task exercise applied in addition to aerobic training have an acute effect on cognitive load in healthy sedentary individuals? 2. Does dual-task exercise applied in addition to aerobic training in healthy sedentary individuals have an acute effect on myocardial oxygen consumption, which reflects the indirect oxygen consumption of the heart? The questions were answered.
The effects of beet juice supplementation on different types of physical performance have been examined in many studies. However, although the number of studies, including the effect of beet juice on physical performance, measuring blood lactate and fatigue levels in swimmers, is limited, most studies focused on acute intake. This study investigated the effects of beetroot juice on anaerobic performance, fatigue, and blood lactate in adolescent male swimmers.Swimmers underwent a single-blind intervention, consuming either a 2x250 ml placebo (0.6 mmol NO3- ) or beetroot juice (8 mmol NO3-) (rich in nitrate, NO3-) for six days. Performance was measured through an 8x100-meter maximal effort swim, with blood lactate and perceived fatigue assessed before and after.
Nurses play an important role in providing sexual health care to individuals. In this study, online sexual health training will be implemented in an innovative way by supporting the use of models in the process of providing sexual counseling to the patients of nursing students. The most commonly used PLISSIT model will be taught to nursing students while providing sexual counseling to patients and its effectiveness will be determined.
The study is a randomised controlled experimental study conducted to examine the effect of progressive relaxation exercises on dyspnea and comfort level in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The study was conducted between January and August 2023 in the Internal Medicine Clinic of Izmir Urla State Hospital. Stratified and block randomisation method was used in the study and 42 patients, 21 intervention group and 21 control group, were completed. Patients in the intervention group received 30-minute progressive relaxation exercises for 6 weeks. Patients in the control group did not receive any intervention other than standard care practices. The data of the study were collected by face-to-face interview method using the Descriptive Information Form, Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale, General Comfort Scale-Short Form and Patient Follow-up Form. Descriptive statistics, Shapiro Wilk test, Levene's test, Mauchly's W test, independent sample T test, Mann Whitney U test, dependent sample t test, Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test, Friedman test, Benferoni test and Fisher's Exact test were used to analyse the data obtained from the study. It was determined that the mean dyspnea level scores of the patients in the intervention group at week 6 were lower than the control group and this difference between the groups was statistically significant (p<0.05). It was determined that the decrease in the mean comfort level scores of the patients in the intervention group according to the follow-up periods was statistically significant (p<0.05). According to the results of the study, progressive relaxation exercises can be recommended as an effective nursing intervention to provide dyspnea management in patients with COPD.
