Filter by:Our research aims to examine the effect of the serenity therapy on symptoms distress, coping styles, and emotional regulation among geriatric patients undergoing hemodialysis. This study highlights the following question: what is the effect of the serenity therapy on symptoms distress, coping styles, and emotional regulation among geriatric patients undergoing hemodialysis.
General anesthesia is frequently used in daily clinical practice. Elderly patients often require a higher level of care than younger patients during the perioperative period, with higher health care costs. Strategies to optimize anesthesia care to reduce complications and improve outcomes in elderly surgical patients will also be of great value to the individual patients and society.
This study is a randomized controlled experimental research with pretest-posttest control group. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the training prepared in line with the fracture liaison service model on the level of frailty, care dependency and fear of movement in patients undergoing hip surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are as follows: - Does the training provided to patients undergoing hip surgery in line with the fracture liaison service model have an effect on the level of frailty of patients? - Does the training provided to patients undergoing hip surgery in line with the fracture liaison service model have an effect on patients' care dependency? - Does the education given to patients undergoing hip surgery in line with the fracture liaison service model have an effect on patients' fear of movement? It is very important to prevent secondary fractures that may occur in patients undergoing hip surgery. Therefore, the most appropriate prevention interventions to reduce fractures in patients depend on the risk profile and the place of education for hospitalized patients is very important. In this study, Personal Information Collection Form, Patient Follow-up Form, Edmonton Frailty Scale, Causes of Kinesiophobia Scale and Care Dependency Scale will be applied to control and intervention group patients. It is planned to provide training to the intervention group patients in line with the fracture liaison service model. This study will evaluate the effect of the training on patients' level of frailty, care dependency and fear of movement.
this trial is to test the clinical performance of a novel moisture resistant, M-TEG-P phosphate monomer based universal adhesive (YAMAKIN TMR-Aquabond0) compared to the conventional universal adhesive (3m ESPE Single Bond Universal Adhesive) in geriatric patients with Non-carious Cervical lesions (NCLLs)
This pilot trial aims to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a technology-based intervention for cognitive-motor training in rehabilitation clinics with geriatric, neurological and cardiac patients. The primary objective of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of exergame-based cognitive-motor training in in-patient rehabilitation settings. The secondary objective of this pilot trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of an expanded rehabilitation treatment (combining exergame training with conventional care) on physical and cognitive functioning in different patient groups.
Geriatric presentations to emergency services comprise a significant percentage of all emergency service presentations in Europe and it has been reported that 3-23% of all emergency service presentations from various regions of the countries. There are specific management practices for patients who are 65 years and older at emergency services. On the other hand several risk-scoring systems have been developed to define the severity class of the patient during their initial evaluation at emergency services.Only a few studies in the literature have evaluated risk-scoring systems for the geriatric patient group.Several studies have reported that risk-scoring systems, such as Identification of Seniors at Risk and Triage Risk Screening Tool, which are specifically developed for geriatric patients over 65 years who present to emergency services, are not sufficiently effective for evaluating patients in more severe conditions. Previously the TEDGeS (Turkish Emergency Departments Geriatric Scoring Study) pilot study was carried out and published by some of the investigators of this project.This pilot study enrolled all geriatric patients (age ≥ 65 years) and carried out in 13 centers from different cities of Turkey. This pilot study showed that geriatric patients not only constitute significant proportion of emergency department presentations but also these patients need more hospitalization. The predictive powers of the Modified Early Warning Score, Rapid Emergency Medicine Score and The Vital PAC Early Warning Score for hospitalization and mortality in geriatric patients those presented to emergency department are significantly high and might be concerned in the emergency department triage of these patients. Within the light of these pilot study results, the investigators have decided to execute this prospective, multinational, multicentric study with the main objective to determine the epidemiological and age related characteristics of geriatric patients presenting to the emergency department across Europe and evaluate early warning scoring systems systems regarding hospitalization, ICU admission and in-hospital mortality for geriatric patients.
Pain intensity is commonly measured in research and clinical settings.1 Different pain intensity domains can be assessed, depending on the specific goals of the researcher or clinician. These include current pain, and recalled average pain, least pain and worst pain in the past 24 hours or 7 days. Although average pain (in the past 24 hours or 7 days) is arguably the most common pain intensity domain assessed by researchers and clinicians, some researches indicate that in chronic pain samples, worst pain is more strongly associated with disability than average pain.2 Thus, while current pain is likely the most appropriate pain intensity domain in acute pain contexts (e.g., during medical procedures), both average and worst pain are important domains to consider assessing the chronic pain context. As such, research to understand the most reliable and valid measures for assessing these domains in different pain populations is critical for both researchers and clinicians.
The aim of the present study is the implementation of a telemedical geriatric co-evaluation in the area of the emergency department. The use of telemedicine is intended to improve the care of geriatric emergency patients. Primarily, it should be checked whether there is any difference at all compared to the normal standard treatment by the doctors of the emergency department. For this, the different drug recommendations are compared. For the qualitative evaluation, the second step is an analysis of the recommended drugs with regard to the use of inadequate preparations for older patients.
This study will be conducted to evaluate the antibacterial effect of probiotic bacteria in yogurt in decreasing streptococcus mutans count in saliva and plaque, decreasing bacterial adherence and increasing salivary pH compared to xylitol-containing chewing gum after three months.
Spinal anesthesia (SA) is frequently used as anesthesia in many surgeries such as lower abdominal, inguinal, urogenital, rectal and lower extremities. Conventional median approach (MA) is preferred more frequently, although MA or paramedian approach (PA) is used in SA. Especially in geriatric patients due to degenerative changes Although we are told that degenerative changes are less affected in PA during SA in the geriatric age group, few studies have been conducted on the subject and we aimed to evaluate the superiority of the two methods.
