There are about 14886 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.
In this study, changes in new oxygenation indices investigated by Asar et al. will be compared with conventional oxygenation and saturation indices in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery due to pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg position.
Interscalene brachial plexus block (ISBPB) is used frequently in shoulder, clavicle and upper arm surgeries to obtain analgesia in the postoperative period. Our primary aim in this study is to evaluate if interscalene block anesthesia has an effect on hearing levels of patients undergoing orthopedic shoulder surgeries.
General anesthesia is characterized by temporary loss of consciousness and decreased reflex activity without any change in vital functions. It can be performed with intravenous and/or inhalation agents. During general anesthesia, breathing is stopped and respiratory support is provided to patients with various respiratory equipment and ventilation modes on the anesthesia device. The most commonly used ventilation modes during anesthesia are volume controlled (VCV) and pressure controlled (PCV). In pressure-controlled ventilation, ventilation is provided with the airway pressure determined by the anesthesiologist throughout inspiration. While the pressure is constant during inspiration, the tidal volume is variable. In volume controlled ventilation, ventilation executed at the volume is set by the anesthesiologist. In other words, the determined volume is constant, but airway pressures vary. In pediatric anesthesia practice modes have not been shown to have a clear advantage over each other. Both modes have advantages and disadvantages. With the development of modern anesthesia devices in recent years, safe ventilation can be provided even in very young children with volume controlled mode (VCV). Atelectasis is the restriction of gas exchange due to complete or partial collapse of the lung. Atelectasis can be seen in 90 percent of patients receiving general anesthesia. This incidence is reported to be 68-100 percent in children. Lung ultrasonography is an imaging method with many advantages for imaging lung-related diseases, such as not containing ionizing radiation, being inexpensive, and being performed at the bedside. Recently, its use by anesthesiologists has become widespread in many lung pathologies, including atelectasis. Traditional and modified lung ultrasonography scoring systems can be used to evaluate atelectasis in lung parenchyma with ultrasonography. In addition to the traditional system, modified scoring system also enables to evaluate small subpleural consolidations In this study, it was aimed to compare the effects of volume controlled and pressure controlled ventilation modes used in general anesthesia in children on atelectasis with lung ultrasonography.
Cancer is a fatal disease characterized by uncontrolled growth and proliferation of tissues and organs in the human body. Among cancer treatments, chemotherapy is the most commonly used treatment method. The drugs used in chemotherapy cause vascular toxic effects during administration, frequent blood samples taken from the patient, antibiotic treatments applied, parenteral nutrition treatments. Subcutaneous venous port catheter (SCVPK), which is a permanent and long-term vascular access route that can be used for medical purposes and in emergency situations, is a frequently preferred and safe intravenous access route because it is not visible outside the body, is well tolerated by the patient, and has a low risk of infection. However, invasive procedures such as port needle insertion and replacement can also cause pain, anxiety and changes in vital signs in patients. Nowadays, the use of non-pharmacological approaches as well as pharmacological methods is increasing in the management of symptoms such as anxiety before the invasive procedure and pain during application in patients receiving chemotherapy treatment. These approaches improve the quality of life of patients and have a positive physiological effect. One of these approaches is sujok therapy. In Su Jok application; The reflection points of the organs are on the hands and feet. These points reflect to the body organ in that area and healing occurs. By finding the right point, energy flow is provided by massaging with appropriate applicators. This research will be conducted to examine the effect of Sujok therapy on pain intensity and anxiety level in cancer patients who have undergone port catheter placement. The research will be conducted as a randomized experimental and placebo study with a pretest-posttest control group in the oncology service of Fethi Sekin City Hospital. 90 (30 experimental, 30 control, 30 placebo) cancer patients who accept the research and meet the sample criteria of the study will be subjected to port catheter application. Application areas for pain, anxiety and stress before the port catheter to the patients in the experimental group will be determined with the help of a probe (diagnostic stick), and seeds will be added to these points approximately 45 minutes before the application and fixed with a patch. For cancer patients in the placebo group, the same procedure will be performed with seeds that have a neutral effect on the body. No procedure will be applied to the patients in the control group. Patient Information Form, General Comfort Scale (GAS), Visual Analog Scale -Pain (VAS-P), Visual Analog Scale -Anxiety (VAS-A) and State-Trait Anxiety Scale were used as data collection tools. (DSKÖ) scale will be used. SPPS 21.0 (Statistical Programme for Social Sciences) package program will be used to evaluate the data obtained from the research. It is thought that if the objectives of the study are achieved, it will help reduce the level of pain and anxiety that may occur during and after port catheter application. In addition, it will contribute to the professional advancement of the project manager, which is a career development project. The positive results in this study will guide other interventions to increase the comfort level of cancer patients who will undergo port catheterization and reduce the level of pain and anxiety.
The aim of this study is to develop a post-earthquake trauma-focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based psychosocial intervention program (DeST-ACT) and to examine the effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability of this program on enhancing life satisfaction and psychological flexibility in individuals exposed to earthquake trauma. In this regard, the main hypothesis is that the DeST-ACT psychosocial intervention program is effective, feasible, and acceptable among individuals exposed to earthquake trauma, including both primary and secondary outcomes of the program.
The World Health Organization has defined the period between the ages of 10-19 as adolescence, 15-24 years as youth and 10-24 years as youth period. Adolescence is divided into 3 periods: early adolescence (10-13 years), middle adolescence (14-16 years) and late adolescence (17-21 years). HIV virus and AIDS, which have become a problem among sexually transmitted diseases all over the world, have increased the importance of controlling sexually transmitted diseases. There is a strong correlation between the spread of STDs through traditional means and the transmission of HIV; and sexually transmitted diseases have been found to increase the risk of sexual transmission of HIV. According to WHO data, 340 million treatable STDs, millions of incurable STDs and 5 million HIV cases occur worldwide each year.
Neurogenic bladder is a condition that occurs due to nerve damage or congenital problems and causes urination disorders. Nowadays, in individuals diagnosed with neurogenic bladder, Clean Intermittent Catheterization is often used to evacuate the urine accumulated in the bladder. Clean Intermittent Catheterization(CIC) is a simple, safe and effective method in which the catheter is placed through the meatus. In this application, the catheter is removed without waiting after urine drainage is achieved. This process is usually performed on its own. Since IC(Intermittent Catheterization) is a procedure performed on the bladder, it may cause some complications. IC application must be performed successfully to prevent or reduce complications. The success of the technique largely depends on patient education and follow-up. Sometimes patients may not be able to come to the hospital for follow-up and feedback after IC training. Innovations are needed to ensure the continuation of distance education so that the education of patients who cannot come to the hospital is not incomplete. The literature includes brochures, videos, websites and some mobile applications for IC training. However, no application has been found that monitors patients' urine amounts. This research was planned to examine the effect of clean intermittent catheterization training given via mobile application to individuals with spinal cord injury on their quality of life and compliance.
Pelvic pain caused by endometriosis is a common symptom and reduces women's quality of life. EFT is a method that can be preferred in pelvic pain due to its ease of use and low cost. Raising women's awareness for EFT
Scoliosis is a three-dimensional, multifactorial disease that becomes more prevalent in adolescents, disrupts the three-dimensional mechanism and posture of the vertebra, causes deterioration in the person's body perception and cosmetic perception, and also causes negative effects on social life and quality of life. Although idiopathic scoliosis is more common during adolescence, its cause is not yet known. It is divided into three subheadings according to the age of onset. These are respectively; It is classified as Juvenile Idiopathic Scoliosis (0-3 years), Infantile Idiopathic Scoliosis (4-10 years), Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (10 years and above). The most common one is Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. Its incidence in girls is 4 times higher than in boys. This study aimed to examine the effects of body image and self-esteem on quality of life in idiopathic adolescent scoliosis patients and to determine whether there is a difference between genders. Additionally, it will be examined what effect the duration of corset use has on these parameters.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of malignancy in men. Transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUSG-PBx) is considered the current gold standard method in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Some patients experience serious discomfort during the procedure because the ultrasound probe is placed in the rectal area. Although no anesthetic or analgesic is used in some centers during the prostate biopsy procedure, in some centers lidocaine gel, cream or spray is applied before entering the rectal area, and lidocaine ampoule is injected during the procedure. However, most patients experience pain and discomfort due to the way the procedure is performed. Today, in addition to pharmacological methods, non-pharmacological methods are also used to control pain. Cold application has an important place among non-pharmacological methods. In this randomized controlled intervention study, the effect of cold lidocaine gel application on pain level in patients undergoing transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUSG-PBx) will be evaluated. In this study, it is thought that application of cold lidocaine gel will reduce the pain level of patients. The research will be conducted at the Urology Polyclinic of Çukurova University Faculty of Medicine Balcalı Practice and Research Hospital. The sample of the research; Ç.Ü.T.F. Volunteer patients who have undergone prostate biopsy at the Urology Polyclinic of Balcalı Practice and Research Hospital and meet the research criteria will be recruited. Patients consisting of 3 groups: control, experiment 1 (Lidocaine Gel) and experiment 2 (Cold Lidocaine Gel) will be determined by randomization. A power analysis was carried out by obtaining statistical support for the sample size. As a result of the sample calculation calculated with power with a confidence interval of 95%, beta value of 95% and alpha value of 0.05, a total of 114 patients will be included, 38 each in the control group, Lidocaine gel and Cold Lidocaine Gel groups. . Data will be collected with the "Personal Information Form" and "Pain Assessment Form". The data will be analyzed in the SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) package program. In this context, in our study, the effect of lidocaine gel and cold lidocaine gel applied to the rectal area on the pain level in patients who underwent transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy will be evaluated and the effect of cold application on pain control will be compared. This result will make great contributions to patient benefit in terms of pain management.
