Non-pharmacological methods such as multimedia applications and visual and auditory technological tools are used to create a more enjoyable experience by reducing children's fear and anxiety and distracting them in the preoperative period. With the latest developments in technology, live, immersive, augmented and virtual reality systems are seen to be included and used in preoperative preparation training, especially for pediatric patients. One of the applications of these innovative technologies that has attracted attention recently is augmented reality technology. The original value of this study is to reduce the fear and anxiety levels experienced by children reading books in the preoperative period with the application of augmented reality, which is a developing, promising and easily accessible technology. The method of this study consists of two groups: an augmented reality applied book reading group and a control group. In the preoperative period for both groups, a survey will be administered to the child and the accompanying parent using the "Child and Family Introductory Data Form", which includes sociodemographic characteristics, approximately 1 hour before the surgery. In addition, the child himself will be asked to score the "Child Anxiety Scale-State" scale to determine the level of anxiety about the surgery, and the child himself, the parent and the researcher will be asked to score the "Child Fear Scale" to determine the child's level of fear about the surgery. The book reading group with augmented reality application will be asked to read the voiced and animated book titled 'One Child, One Miracle', accompanied by an application downloaded free of charge from Google Play or IOS to their mobile phone or tablet. The storybook will be presented to the children in this application group in three dimensions with the help of a mobile phone or tablet. Children in the control group will read the same book without using the augmented reality application. After reading the book for both groups, the children will be asked to rate their fear and anxiety levels again using the same scales. This research is a randomized controlled and experimental study. The adequacy of the sample size in the study "G. It was calculated using the "Power-3.1.9.2" program. In the power analysis conducted for the sample and power calculation of the experimental study with the application and control groups, it was decided to study with 30 children for each group.
To determine the effectiveness of the Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach (BETY in Turkish) in individuals with Primary Sjögren's Syndrome and to compare the effects of this training when applied in groups and individually. H1: BETY training affects at least one of the following: disease activity, pain, and fatigue in individuals with Primary Sjögren's Syndrome. H2: BETY training affects at least one of the quality of life and biopsychosocial status in individuals with Primary Sjögren's Syndrome. H3: BETY training affects the anxiety/depression level in individuals with Primary Sjögren's Syndrome. H4: BETY training affects chewing and swallowing performances in individuals with Primary Sjögren's Syndrome. H5: BETY training given in groups is more effective than individual practice in individuals with Primary Sjögren's Syndrome. Volunteers who meet the inclusion criteria will be placed on the waiting list, the content of all three interventions will be explained to the individuals, and groups will be formed randomly using the sealed envelope method among those who volunteer to participate in all three contents. The three options that will be offered to patients will be 'participation in BETY group sessions', 'participation in individual BETY sessions', and 'following a home program with symptom-oriented exercise recommendations'. The biopsychosocial-based exercise model ("Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach" (BETY)) to be used in this randomized controlled study is a method developed on individuals with rheumatic diseases. In this method, which can be applied individually or in a group, nociplastic pain, and mood management are combined with exercises. Patients participating in the training received 36 sessions in total; He/she will attend BETY sessions lasting 1 hour, 3 times a week for 12 weeks, in group and individual sessions. Each session will include a warm-up phase, exercise training, and cool-down phases. During these sessions, the physiotherapist plays only an instructive and guiding role. In BETY sessions, exercises will be made more difficult as the person can perform a higher level exercise, in accordance with the loading principle. An exercise band will be added to the exercises that show a progression from closed kinetic chain to open kinetics, following the developments in the patient. In the control group, exercise recommendations will be given as a home program according to the individuals' symptoms. Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach (BETY) BETY includes mind-body interaction information management, pain management strategies, mood information management through dance therapy/authentic movement, and sexuality information management. BETY first session; After meeting the patient and completing the evaluations, it consists of the steps of analysis of the person's problem, selection of exercise for this problem, replacement of the exercise in function, pain management, and recovery agreement. The basic exercise model used in BETY is function-oriented trunk stabilization exercises. Patients are given information about the 5 features of trunk stabilization (neck, shoulder, rib cage, lumbopelvic region postures and respiratory control), visual imagery, and their control. BETY-nociplastic pain management strategy includes the following steps; - Physical activity is stopped when there is pain. - Due to the relationship between pain and central sensitization, the patient questions whether he or she is worried about something. If there is a situation that causes concern, the patient should direct his/her attention away from this point. - Cognitive restructuring is achieved with positive thoughts instead of negative thoughts as a distraction strategy. - At the moment of positive thought, it is recommended to do exercises for the painful area. Information management in sexuality means that anxiety about sexuality is also a factor that increases pain. It is added to the sessions with the knowledge that it may be a factor and because it is a subject that cannot usually be talked about. During the "arm openings 1" and "arm openings 2" exercises, during the cognitive restructuring process using positive and negative awareness sentences, is aimed at normalizing these issues in the mind of the individual by including positive and negative sentences about sexuality. In addition, the information will be reinforced by synthesizing the questions asked by the patients during patient education and the pelvic floor muscle training created by trunk stabilization exercises.
This study is planned to determine the impact of education provided with the flipped learning model on nursing students' thorax and heart knowledge and self-directed learning skills. This study adopted a pretest-posttest openlabel randomized controlled trial. The population of the study will consist of second-year students studying at a Nursing Department of a university in Turkey during the 2023-2024 academic year.According to the power analysis, it was determined that the study needs to be conducted with a total of 100 students, with 50 students in the experimental group and 50 students in the control group.The experimental group participants were trained using the flipped learning model.For the control group, the topic will be delivered using only traditional teaching methods.The data for the study will be collected using the "Introductory Characteristics Form," the "Thoracic and Cardiac Examination Information Evaluation Form," and the "Self-Regulated Learning Skills Scale (SRLSS)."The collected data will be analyzed using SPSS 15 software.

The aim of this quasi-experimental study is to determine the effect of the "Breast Cancer Prevention Journey Program" on health beliefs about breast cancer in women over 40 years of age who have never had a mammogram before. The research aims to answer the following basic questions: -Do women who participated in the "Breast Cancer Prevention Journey Program" have different health beliefs about breast cancer than women who did not participate in the program? The researchers will compare the program with routine care to see if the "Breast Cancer Prevention Journey Program" works. The study will be conducted in a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test post-test control group. Participants in the experimental group will first participate in the "The fight against breast cancer" training structured according to the Health Belief Model. One week after the training, the participants in the experimental group will be taken to mammography screening with free shuttles. Participants in the control group will not receive any additional intervention. This group will only receive routine intervention within the scope of the breast cancer screening program conducted by the Ministry of Health.
In the literature, the relationship between frailty and various blood tests such as beta-2 microglobulin, CRP, procalcitonin, vitamin D, IL-1, and IL-6 has been investigated (2). In our study, we aim to investigate the relationship between frailty status assessed using frailty scale forms (Frailty Scale Version 9, Quality of Life Scale Short Form-36) and preoperative levels of Albumin/Creatinine, B12, Folate, Ferritin, hemogram, Sedimentation Rate, and CRP in patients undergoing gastrointestinal malignancy surgery. By identifying the relationship among these parameters, we believe that modifiable factors contributing to frailty in patients at risk can be addressed through appropriate interventions.
