Filter by:Introduction The working conditions of prison officers are very stressful. Today, it is known that stress affects the health status of individuals in many ways. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the musculoskeletal system problems, fatigue severity, depression levels, and quality of life of prison officers and to examine the relationship between these parameters and the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants. Method The study included a total of 141 volunteers. The musculoskeletal problems of the participants were evaluated with the Cornell Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire, fatigue levels were evaluated with the Fatigue Severity Scale, depression levels were evaluated with the Beck Depression Inventory, and quality of life was evaluated with the Nottingham Health Profile.
This study aims to explore the use of peanut balls during the second stage of labor. It compares three different positions: traditional lithotomy position, lateral position, and lateral position with peanut ball in terms of women's perceived pushing effort experiences, fatigue, and birth outcomes.
In this study, black cumin extract oil was used in elderly individuals with Knee Osteoarthritis (OA). The effects of foot reflexology and knee massage on pain and fatigue symptoms. It is aimed to examine and research which of these two applications is more effective.The study, planned as a randomized controlled experimental study, included a total of 150 participants. The data consists of participants who receive outpatient treatment in the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Unit at a university hospital, are over 65 years old, and have no problems with their perception after the Mini Mental Test. After randomization, participants were divided into five groups, with 30 participants in each group. Groups; It consisted of 1) Reflexology with Black Cumin, 2) Placebo Reflexology, 3) Knee Massage with Black Cumin, 4) Placebo Knee Massage and 5) Control groups.
Background: This study, in contrast to the previous studies, generated a scenario of fatigue in an earthquake scenario and aimed to measure the effect of fatigue on the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed by paramedics in a debris course. Methods: The study was designed as a randomized controlled trial. The sample, consisting of 84 paramedic students, was randomly assigned as 42 control and 42 experimental groups. Fatigue was created in the participants by rehearsing the process of removing and transporting earthquake victims from the rubble through the prepared track. A personal information form and a CPR measurement form were used to obtain the data. The simulator was used to evaluate the accuracy of CPR. The collected data were analysed with the statistical program.
The study aimed to examine the relationship between cognitive status, exercise capacity, and fatigue perception in coronary artery disease patients.
Cancer patients often experience Cancer-Related Fatigue (CRF) due to surgeries, radiation therapy, and/or chemotherapy. CRF does not improve with sleep or rest and not only affects daily activities but can also significantly reduce quality of life. Therefore, finding ways to alleviate fatigue is crucial for cancer patients. Literature indicates that exercise has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing fatigue. Qigong/Tai Chi, based on movement, is a traditional Chinese mind-body practice falling within the range of low to moderate-intensity aerobic exercise. There is no consistent consensus on the effectiveness and frequency of Qigong/Tai Chi for CRF in different cancer patients. Hence, this study aims to investigate through empirical nursing procedures whether "the practice of Qigong/Tai Chi by cancer patients can improve participants' fatigue. Researchers hope that the results of this study can serve as a reference for future clinical applications in alleviating fatigue among cancer patients.
Parkinson's disease is a progressive, degenerative neurological disease manifested by motor and non-motor symptoms. Treatment for Parkinson's disease is symptom-oriented. Treatment options include medical treatment and surgical treatment, as well as physiotherapy and rehabilitation interventions. The LSVT-BIG protocol, a physiotherapy and rehabilitation intervention, aims to overcome the insufficient speed-amplitude regulation that leads to low scaling of motion amplitude at any speed in Parkinson's disease. The protocol is applied for four weeks, four days a week, and each session is one hour. Each treatment session consists of four parts: maximal daily exercises, functional component tasks, hierarchy tasks, and grand walking. Telerehabilitation is a system established for the online delivery of different rehabilitation services via telecommunication, and it has been reported that the LSVT-BIG protocol is a viable method with image-based video conferencing systems. This study is a randomized controlled trial designed to examine the effect of the LSVT-BIG protocol on balance, gait, fatigue and quality of life. In this direction, thirty-four Parkinson's patients will be divided into two groups by randomization method after a preliminary evaluation including balance, gait, fatigue and quality of life variables. While the telerehabilitation-based LSVT-BIG protocol was applied to the experimental group for four weeks, no physiotherapy and rehabilitation interventions would be applied to the control group in addition to the medical treatment for the same period. At the end of four weeks, both groups will be evaluated again, including balance, gait, fatigue and quality of life variables. Evaluation data will be collected from patients through face-to-face evaluation methods and prepared questionnaires and scales. The obtained data will be evaluated using appropriate statistical methods using the SPSS statistical program.
The study is randomized and single-blinded. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah International University, Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in group A & B through sealed envelope method by Non-probability Convenient random sampling technique. Subjects in Group A will receive Core Strengthening exercises. Group B will receive Pilates exercises.
According to the definition of the International Association for the Study of Pain, pain; It is an unpleasant sensory and emotional sensation and behavior related to the individual's past experiences, caused by real or potential tissue damage originating from any part of the body. Birth pain is the most severe pain experience known and defined, with physiological as well as psychological and sociocultural components that may vary among individuals.Pharmacological and non-pharmacological applications are used to relieve birth pain. While pharmacological methods reduce pain, they distract women from the physiological reality of birth and prevent women from accepting pain as a natural part of birth. Non-pharmacological methods are alternative options that will help women manage pain during birth by ensuring that women experience pain. Showering (hydrotherapy), one of the non-pharmacological methods used to reduce pain in labor, is used to increase relaxation and reduce birth pain. In a study conducted domestically, it was stated that the use of hydrotherapy during labor pain helped the woman relax, reduced the pain felt, lowered blood pressure and increased diuresis. Fatigue, in addition to being a universal symptom associated with diseases, is also a common complaint among healthy individuals. In line with the literature information, this study aims to examine the effect of shower applied during birth on postpartum fatigue and postpartum comfort.
The purpose of this study was to assess the usefulness of protein and carbohydrate supplementation, with and without creatine, on occupational performance in firefighters. Research has examined the effects of adding creatine to whey protein and carbohydrates on training adaptations in resistance-trained individuals with mixed finding. Furthermore, the ergogenic benefit of protein and carbohydrate supplementation, with or without creatine, in firefighters is largely unknown. Therefore, the primary aim of the current study was to examine the effects of protein and carbohydrate supplementation, with or without creatine, on occupational performance in firefighters.
