Filter by:This study aims to explore the impact of individual workload and fatigue levels on the sleep quality of operating room (OR) nurses, highlighting a critical aspect of healthcare professionals' well-being that directly affects patient safety and care quality. Operating room nurses face unique challenges due to the high-stress, fast-paced environment of surgical settings, which can lead to increased stress levels, emotional challenges, and a higher incidence of fatigue compared to other nursing specialties. Factors contributing to this fatigue include the demanding nature of surgical procedures, the need for constant vigilance, and the irregular hours associated with shift work, all of which can impair sleep quality. The literature review suggests that while the relationship between workload, fatigue, and sleep quality has been extensively studied in general nursing populations, there is a lack of specific focus on operating room nurses. These professionals work under distinct conditions that may exacerbate the effects of workload and fatigue on sleep quality, yet comprehensive studies targeting this group are limited. Understanding the nuances of how workload and fatigue specifically impact the sleep quality of OR nurses is crucial for developing targeted interventions aimed at improving their health and job performance, thereby enhancing patient care and safety. This cross-sectional and correlational study seeks to fill the gap in the literature by examining the specific effects of workload and fatigue on sleep perception among OR nurses. By identifying these relationships, the study aims to contribute valuable insights into strategies for mitigating fatigue and improving sleep among this critical group of healthcare workers, with the ultimate goal of ensuring both nurse well-being and patient safety.
Cancer is a disease that causes the most deaths worldwide and is challenging for patients and caregivers both physically and psychosocially. Physicians and nurses working in oncology clinics perform a demanding profession providing compassionate care and treatment to patients struggling with life-threatening diseases. The emotional cost of caring for patients diagnosed with cancer can lead to compassion fatigue, burnout, and decreased psychological well-being among healthcare professionals. For this reason, this research is planned as a randomized controlled study to examine the effect of Mindfulness meditation practice on compassion fatigue, burnout, and psychological well-being in physicians and nurses working in oncology units.
Respiratory muscle training represents an effective method increasingly utilized in both sports and healthcare domains, employing various devices, among which threshold devices are prominent. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between inspiratory muscle fatigue and maximal inspiratory pressure, diaphragmatic strength (guided by ultrasound image) and heart rate variability. According to our hypothesis, the execution of a protocol inducing inspiratory muscle fatigue in healthy youngs could influence cardiorespiratory function. In this study, subjects will be divided into three groups: the experimental group , the activation group and the control group. Measurements of variables, such as maximal inspiratory pressure, heart rate variability and diaphragmatic strength (ultrasound image), will be conducted.
Respiratory muscle training represents an effective method increasingly utilized in both sports and healthcare domains, employing various devices, among which threshold devices are prominent. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between inspiratory muscle fatigue and muscular strength in lower limbs, in both healthy and pathological subjects, as well as the association between such fatigue and other variables, including maximal inspiratory pressure and muscle tissue oxygen levels. According to our hypothesis, the execution of a protocol inducing inspiratory muscle fatigue in healthy youngs could influence muscular strength, exercise capacity and muscle tissue oxygenation. In this study, subjects will be divided into three groups: experimental group , activation group and control group. Measurements of variables, such as maximal inspiratory pressure, peripheral muscle tissue oxygen levels, diaphragmatic strength (ultrasound image) and vertical jump performance, will be conducted.

The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between inspiratory muscle fatigue and maximal inspiratory pressure, diaphragmatic strength (guided by ultrasound image) and heart rate variability. According to our hypothesis, the execution of a protocol inducing inspiratory muscle fatigue in older adults could influence cardiorespiratory function. In this study, subjects will be divided into three groups: the experimental group , the activation group and the control group. Measurements of variables, such as maximal inspiratory pressure, heart rate variability and diaphragmatic strength (ultrasound image), will be conducted.
Respiratory muscle training represents an effective method increasingly utilized in both sports and healthcare domains, employing various devices, among which threshold devices are prominent. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between diaphragmatic fatigue and muscular strength in upper and lower limbs, in both healthy and pathological subjects, as well as the association between such fatigue and other variables, including maximal inspiratory pressure, functionality and muscle tissue oxygen levels. According to our hypothesis, the execution of a protocol inducing diaphragmatic fatigue in older adults could influence muscular strength, cardiorespiratory function, exercise capacity, and muscle tissue oxygenation. In this study, subjects will be divided into three groups: the experimental group , the activation group and the control group. Measurements of variables, such as maximal inspiratory pressure, peripheral muscle tissue oxygen levels, diaphragmatic strength (ultrasound image) and functional capacity, will be conducted.
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common medical complications of pregnancy. GDM, which is in the high-risk pregnancy category, causes fatigue during pregnancy due to both hormonal changes and pregnancy complications (1). Fatigue is a general complaint that occurs in almost all physical and mental diseases. Fatigue also negatively affects an individual's well-being, daily performance, activities of daily living (ADLs) and relationships. Fatigue is one of the symptoms that, if not controlled, negatively affects the individual's daily living activities and quality of life (2). While breathing itself is a way of relaxation, it is also a part of all relaxation exercises and is an exercise that can be used in daily life. Breathing correctly and deeply is the first step in learning to relax. (3). It is important to identify fatigue, minimize it, plan daily living activities and improve quality of life in patients with GDM. This study will be conducted as a randomized controlled study to determine the fatigue and quality of life of diaphragmatic breathing exercises, one of the non-pharmacological methods, on pregnant women with gestational diabetes.
The goal of this clinical trial is to study the impact of Dyanavel on co-occuring fatigue in adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. The main question it aims to answer is whether Dyanavel XR leads to a statistically significant reduction in fatigue compared to placebo, as measured by the Fatigue Symptom Inventory.
To observe the improvement of Chalder scale score in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome treated by compound Ciwujia granules. Improvement =[(baseline score - post-treatment score)/baseline score]*100%
The primary aims of the proposed trial are centered around examining the feasibility of conducting a prospective, chiropractic intervention study on a population of cancer survivors living in and around Atlanta, Georgia. This includes evaluating various implementation outcomes including recruitment, adherence, tolerability, retention, acceptability, and data fidelity. The results of this trial will inform the design of a future randomized controlled trial (RCT) that has an increased focus on the efficacy/effectiveness of chiropractic care on chronic cancer-related fatigue (CCRF) and other cancer-related sequelae in cancer survivors.
