Filter by:The goal of this type of study clinical trial is to determine the effect of informing the relatives of patients undergoing open heart surgery on the patients; quality of life and caregiver burden.The main question it aims to answer are: H1: Informing caregivers of patients undergoing open heart surgery improves the quality of life of patients. H2: Informing caregivers of patients undergoing open heart surgery reduces caregiver burden.Relatives of patients who have undergone open heart surgery will be informed about home care before discharge. The researcher will compare the study group with the control group to see if the information given to the caregiver makes a difference on the patient's quality of life.
The goal of this clinical trial is to Improve the quality of life in Hemodialysis patient. The main questions it aims to answer are: - [Improve the self-compliance of dialysis patients with weight management] - [alleviate the volume load of dialysis patients and reduce cardiovascular complications] Participants will be divided into two groups based on a weight management regimen： Control group: received routine outpatient management. Specific methods: The dialysis doctor registered the information of the patient's weight and blood pressure at the end of dialysis, and informed the patient of the purpose, role and importance of weight management. Intervention group: On the basis of routine outpatient management, patients or their family members were subjected to remote follow-up management based on wechat, and the follow-up time was 6 months. Specific methods: Same as the control group, the information of weight and blood pressure of the patients was registered at the end of dialysis, and the purpose, role and importance of weight management were informed to the patients. On this basis, a special wechat signal is set up to add patients or patients' family members as wechat friends and establish a wechat interaction platform with patients. In the interdialysis period, remind patients to weigh themselves through wechat (the time of each weighing is fixed, preferably consistent with the time of weighing in the hemodialysis center), control the weight gain during the interdialysis period not to exceed 4.5% of dry weight, and inform patients again about the purpose, role and importance of weight management.
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of neonatal care education for primiparous pregnant women on postpartum maternal function and quality of life.
Breast cancer is defined as the most common type of cancer that causes death among women (Siegel et al. 2019). It constitutes 24% of cancers and 15% of cancer-related deaths in women (T.R. Ministry of Health 2020). According to statistics made towards the end of 2020, there are 7.8 million women in the world who were diagnosed with breast cancer in the last 5 years and are alive. It is estimated that one in every 8 women will develop breast cancer in developed countries (WHO 2021). The Ministry of Health reported the frequency of breast cancer in our country as 45.6/100,000 in women in 2018. The incidence of breast cancer is reported to be higher, especially in the 45-54 age range (TC Ministry of Health 2020). Chemotherapy is one of the most frequently preferred treatment methods in the treatment of breast cancer and can cause serious side effects such as pain, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, shortness of breath, mouth sores, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety and depression, and may lead to a deterioration in the quality of life of patients (Waks and Winer 2019, Samami et al. 2021, Sajadian et al. 2017, McFarland et al. 2018, Hamer et al. 2017). In the international and national literature, no study has been found comparing the effects of laughter and mindfulness therapy on the anxiety, depression, quality of life and spiritual well-being experienced by breast cancer patients. In this study, it is planned to investigate the effects of laughter and mindfulness therapy applications on the anxiety, depression, quality of life and spiritual well-being levels of women with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic represented a global public health problem that brought considerable consequences to the physical and mental health of the entire population. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of the brief behavioral intervention for insomnia by teleconsultation (BBII-TC) with the brief behavioral intervention for face-to-face insomnia (BBII) on symptoms of insomnia, anxiety, depression, quality of sleep and life in a sample. of patients with long COVID. Methodology: Randomized controlled trial of equivalence with two groups in parallel (1:1) with repeated measures in pretreatment, posttreatment and follow-up at 3 months. The sample will be composed of male or female participants, in an age range of 18 to 40 years. The sample size was calculated, obtaining a total of 52 participants, the expected effect size is .40, with a significance of 0.05 and a probability error of 80%. Participants in the two groups will be assessed with the following instruments: Sleep Diary, Patient Health Questionnaire 9, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index , Insomnia Severity Index, SF-36 Health Survey and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7; at the beginning and end of treatment; and in a follow-up at 3 months. TData analysis: The Kolmogrov-Smirnov test will be carried out to determine the normality of the data, in case the distribution is parametric, an ANOVA of repeated measures will be carried out for the comparison of data between the pre, post and monitoring for each of the groups; in the event that the data does not have a normal distribution, the Friedman test will be performed for the comparison of repeated measures. Finally, to avoid bias in the data analysis, an external investigator will be asked to perform the randomization and data processing.
RectSexQoL is a study aiming at determining the prevalence of female sexual dysfunction after rectal cancer surgery. It has the goal as well to analyse the impact of an intervention given by a sexologist to such patients.
Sepsis is a syndrome of life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection.Acute catabolic response in critically ill patients struck by sepsis, manifested by massive protein breakdown in a short time.This pathology frequently leads to prolonged hospitalization and mechanical ventilation, increased mortality, and reduced quality of survival.It is uncertainty whether sepsis patients in ICU can benefit from high protein intake combined with early exercise. Even though the combination has been shown to be beneficial in other populations.In the present study, the investigator will evaluate the effects of a combination of high protein targets combined with early rehabilitation in sepsis patients in ICU.
Internet-based behavioral therapy applications made during the quarantine and isolation period during the pandemic process, and the application of laughter therapy, which is a group-oriented technique that increases the feeling of togetherness and happiness, can be used as an online method to reach large masses. However, since there are a limited number of studies in the literature on online laughter therapy in patients and not all sessions are online in the study, it was thought that more and methodological studies are needed to confirm the effectiveness of the therapy on the applicability of the online platform. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the blood cortisol levels, depression, anxiety, stress levels and quality of life of laughter therapy in hemodialysis patients.
Cancer; It is defined as a large group of diseases that can start in any organ or tissue of the body, occur with the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells, and occur when these abnormal cells go beyond their normal limits and spread to neighboring tissues and other organs. The leading goal of cancer treatment is to eradicate the cancer. Cancer treatments are divided into two basic groups as local and systemic.Systemic treatments include chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted molecular therapy, and immunotherapy. The use of drugs that slow down, control, stop and destroy cancer cells in the treatment are called chemotherapy, and the drugs used for this purpose are called chemotherapeutics (cytostatics) or antineoplastic drugs. Quality of life is personal well-being and is an expression of subjective satisfaction in different areas of life. This concept includes family, work life and socio-economic conditions. It includes the difference between the ideals, expectations and dreams of individuals and the reality, that is, the perception of satisfaction and well-being that the individual receives from his daily life. In the medical field, it is the expression of the individual's physical, emotional and social well-being. The symptoms that cancer patients encounter both in cancer and in the treatment process affect the quality of life of the patient and cause the treatment to be interrupted. Therefore, symptom management is very important in order not to hinder treatment and to stop the risk of morbidity and mortality. Most of the symptoms of advanced cancer patients can be managed with pharmacological or non-pharmacological methods, and this management is an expected skill for all clinicians who take care of patients with cancer. Pecha Kucha (PK), meaning "chat voice" or "chat" in Japanese, refers to a well-crafted, fast and concise presentation format. In a PK presentation, each presenter is only allowed to show 20 PowerPoint slides for 20 seconds each on a timer. In other words, the presenter has only 20 seconds to discuss each slide before the next slide appears, and the presentation time is limited to 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Ideas are explained visually with pictures and graphics, and there is little text on the slides.
This study is a prospective cohort study aimed to clarify the continuous immune state changes of patients with COVID-19. Investigators include the patients admitted to the hospital within one week after the onset of COVID-19. 10ml of patients' blood was collected day 1, day 7, day 14 , and day 20 after the patients admitted to the hospital. The blood inflammatory factors, immune related molecules, and immune cells were detected to determine the changes of patients' immune status. The impact of immune status changes on prognosis and quality of life in later follow-up period was evaluated by various questionnaires and evaluation scales.
