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.
Objective: The comparison of surgical outcomes conventional hysterectomy and manipulator-assisted hysterectomy Study design: Prospective randomized controlled trial. Allocation to either group occurred via computer-generated random numbers. Sequentially numbered, opaque envelopes were prepared according to randomization. The patients were unaware of whether they would undergo a conventional hysterectomy or manipulator-assisted abdominal hysterectomy for their surgical procedure. The research coordinator unveiled group assignments upon individual patient recruitment by opening the corresponding envelope. Study population: Inclusion criteria were patients aged 40-70 years who underwent hysterectomy for benign gynecological indications. Primary outcomes: (1) Operation Time. Secondary outcomes: (1) Postoperative early pain (Visual Analog Score (VAS) at 6th and 24th hours of the surgery) (2) intraoperative complications, (3) postoperative complications
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of six-week thoracic mobilization on pain intensity, muscle tone, functional and muscle activation in individuals with subacromial pain syndrome.
The purpose of this observational study is to find out the impact of pressure injury education on the knowledge level of pediatric intensive care nurses and the likelihood of pediatric pressure injury occurrence. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does pressure injury education increase nurses knowledge level on pediatric pressure injuries? - Does the rate of pediatric pressure injuries decrease after the education? The researcher will compare nurses working in two separate pediatric intensive care units where similar patients are treated to see if planned education on pressure injuries affects nurses knowledge level and the rate of pediatric pressure injuries. - Volunteer nurses participating in the study will answer pressure injury survey questions prepared by the researcher. - Nurses in the intervention group will attend planned education sessions provided by the researcher. - Two weeks after the completion of the education sessions, all nurses in the intervention and control groups who wish to continue participating in the study will answer the pressure injury survey questions prepared by the researcher again.
The goal of study is to determine the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy-based psychoeducation on the level of stigmatization applied to relatives of schizophrenia patients. Type of study: This study was planned as a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design with an observation and control group. Participants: The population of the study consisted of the relatives of schizophrenia patients who were registered and actively attending the Community Mental Health Center in a state hospital in Ankara. Intervention: Before the psychoeducation process started, personal information form and scales were applied to the relatives of the patients in the experimental and control groups. An ACT-based psychoeducation program consisting of 8 sessions was applied to the experimental group. each session lasted approximately 90 minutes. The control group did not receive any intervention. After the psychoeducation, the scales were reapplied to the experimental and control groups. In addition, the experimental group was asked to fill out the psychoeducation evaluation form. The scales were reapplied to the experimental group after the 1-month follow-up study and evaluated.
Heart and blood vessel problems together referred to as cardiovascular diseases (CVD) include congenital heart disease, cerebrovascular illness, and coronary heart disease. Following heart surgery, patients who are active in the postoperative phase stay in the hospital for shorter periods of time and experience fewer complications. After cardiac surgery, older adults who exercise during the recovery period experience fewer difficulties and hospitalizations. A total of 100 elderly patients-69 men and 31 women-who had undergone cardiac surgery and were up to 65 years old-voluntarily took part in the study. There were fifty patients in each of the two groups that the participants were divided into: the early mobilization group (Group A) and the control group (Group B). Older patients undergoing cardiac surgery also experienced improved balance as a result of early mobilization and functional exercises.
The prospective and four-arm randomized controlled study was conducted on n = 136 (34 = control, 34 = kegel, 34 = core, 34 = kegel+ core group) menopausal women at Trakya University Health Research and Application Center Urology Polyclinic between Oct 2023 and June 2024. In the first interview, the researcher will apply an information form to all four groups, asking about personal information, habits, bladder irritants and fluid intake-related features, obstetric, gynecological and systemic disease-related features, and stress urinary incontinence-related features. This form will only be filled at the beginning. In addition, the "Pelvic Floor Distress Scale (PFDI)" and "Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ)" will be applied and will be repeated by the executive researcher at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd controls. It will be terminated at the 3rd follow-up. Descriptive statistics, Pearson, Spearman's correlation, and regression analyzes will be used in the analysis of research data.
Home use of the NIV device, which is used to manage respiratory failure, one of the most disturbing symptoms due to COPD, will continue to increase. There is a need for studies evaluating the effectiveness of the use of WEB-based training programs in making patients and their families independent in the use of this device. This study will produce evidence for this effect and contribute to the awareness of healthcare professionals working in this field. The WEB-based training module to be developed aims to increase compliance with NIV in patients using NIV at home for a long time and to manage symptoms such as insomnia that may develop due to NIV.
The aim of this observational study is to investigate relationship between cervical, thoracic, lumbar and thoracolumbar spine posture, spine movement, isometric and eccentric shoulder strength, scapular dyskinesis and core muscle endurance in healthy competitive young swimmers in comparison with healthy recreational swimmers. The main question is whether spine posture affects spine movement, shoulder strength, scapular dyskinesia and core endurance. Participants will asked to complete a warm up period, after that spine posture, spine movement, scapular dyskinesia, shoulder strength and core endurance will be assessed by examiner. Researchers will compare competitive swimmer group and recreational swimmer group. Additionally correlation between spine posture, spine movement, scapular dyskinesia, shoulder strength and core muscle endurance will be investigated in competitive swimmer group. Aim of the study is to determine whether posture have any effect upon these parameters.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about functional bladder problems in children. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does bladder symptoms in children have an effect on core muscles? - How do core muscles change based on an increase or decrease in these symptoms?
Lung ultrasonography has become frequently used in neonatal intensive care units because it is a diagnostic, useful, harmless, radiation-free, bedside, reproducible and practical method. (1, 2) In our clinic, lung ultrasonography imaging is performed in infants hospitalized with respiratory distress. Lung ultrasonography is widely used especially in conditions that mainly cause respiratory distress such as respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), pneumonia, neonatal transient tachypnea (NTRT), congenital pneumonia, meconium aspiration syndrome and pneumothorax. (1, 2) The reliability and specificity of AUS imaging especially in the diagnosis of NTRT have been proven in many studies. AUS imaging has become an objective value by scoring today. Images will be obtained using the linear probe of the device to be used for lung ultrasound and transferred to a cell phone, both lungs will be evaluated as three areas on the right and left (anterior upper, anterior lower and lateral) and scored separately. Anteriorly, the region between the anterior axillary line and the parasternal line is divided into two by the line passing through the nipple. Above is considered as the upper anterior region and below as the lower anterior region. The area in the middle of the anterior and posterior axillary line is evaluated as the lateral region. Each area is scored from 0 to 3 points. If A lines are present, 0 points are given, if there are more than 3 B lines in an area, 1 point is given, if B lines are very dense and there are no A lines, it is considered as white lung and 2 points are given. If there is a consolidation image on AUS, 3 points were given. The maximum total score was 18 (8,9) (Figure 1). In this study, both AUS imaging and scoring will be performed in the delivery room within the first 30 minutes and AUS score evaluation will be performed at postnatal 2nd, 6th and 24th hours in the intensive care unit for inpatients and in the maternal ward for maternal patients. The hypothesis of this study is that newborns with high AUS scores will have high rates of respiratory morbidities and respiratory support in the neonatal unit. The primary aim of the study was to determine the role and importance of AUS scores measured in the delivery room in predicting respiratory morbidities of infants. The secondary aim was to investigate the value of the course of AUS scores at postnatal 2, 6 and 24 hours in predicting the respiratory prognosis of the newborn infant.
