Filter by:Total knee prosthesis (TKP); It is a surgical treatment used in the management of functional limitations and severe pain occurring on the degenerated joint surface as a result of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, posttraumatic arthritis and other nonspecific arthritis. Nursing care is of great importance in the success of TKP surgery. Reducing pain, preventing complications, increasing self-care ability, and improving the quality of life by improving postoperative knee functions are the main goals of postoperative nursing care. In order to achieve these goals, patients and their relatives need to receive training on home care in the post-operative period before discharge. With the increasing use of mobile technologies in daily life and the increasing adoption of e-health, the opportunity for people to improve their self-management skills through e-health is increasing. Mobile Health (m-Health) provides convenience in many areas such as educating the public, warning about potential diseases and disease risks, and communicating with messages, notifications and video when necessary. It also affects the way nursing services are delivered and provides great benefits in the delivery of nursing services. For all these reasons, it was aimed to examine the effect of mobile application-supported care given to patients with total knee prosthesis on functional status and self-care ability.
Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancer types affecting women in our country and in the world and causing morbidity. However, the availability of a vaccine for cervical cancer, preventable risk factors and early diagnosis tests offer a unique opportunity to reduce the rate of cervical cancer. In this context, there are studies showing that the practices developed by policies differ and that the classical health approach is insufficient. The effectiveness of the trainings given may vary according to time, place, trainer and personal characteristics of the individual. At the same time, in order to improve the attitudes and behaviours of individuals in terms of prevention and early diagnosis of cervical cancer, awareness of individuals about cervical cancer should be increased. In this way, women will have a say about their own health and their conscious participation in health care services will be realised. Therefore, the aim of this project is to apply cervical cancer awareness training to women and to examine its effect on women's cervical cancer prevention and early diagnosis behaviours. Original value; The fact that there is no mobile application developed for cervical cancer in Turkey reveals the national value of the research. In addition, the mobile application has international unique value as it is the first mobile application structured to provide awareness on cervical cancer prevention and early diagnosis behaviours. The project method was planned for the development and implementation of the mobile application programme. The research design will be a randomised controlled study. The 120 women who meet the inclusion criteria and who apply to more than one family health centre will be randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups. The effect of the mobile application programme on women's attitudes and behaviours towards cervical cancer prevention and early diagnosis will be evaluated at the 6th and 12th weeks. In the evaluation of the data, t-test for independent groups, anova and chi-square tests will be used to measure the effect of the intervention. Widespread effect; In this way, it is planned to reduce the time spent by professionals for care-related activities, to strengthen time management, to provide advantages and improvements in the performance of nurses in patient care management by using technological resources in the health care provided.
In this study, the development of a mobile application for prenatal midwifery care and the examination of the effect of the developed mobile application on the stress, fear of childbirth, readiness for childbirth, and satisfaction with care of pregnant women are aimed. The research has a randomized controlled experimental design. Research data will be collected between January 2024 and October 2024 at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic of Ağrı Training and Research Hospital. The universe of the research will consist of pregnant women who apply to the NST unit and Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic of the relevant hospital. The sample of the research consists of pregnant women who meet the inclusion criteria and volunteer to participate in the research. A priori power analysis was conducted to determine the sample size of the research. Cohen's standardized effect size reference method was selected in the power analysis. It was calculated that 102 pregnant women (Experimental group: 51, Control group: 51) should be included in order to achieve 80% power with a 95% confidence interval at a significance level of 0.05. In order to account for possible data losses, it was decided to collect data from a total of 128 individuals by including an additional 25% reserve sample in this number. The sample of the research will be selected by randomization among those who meet the specified research criteria. The assignment of participants to the experimental and control groups will be done through randomization. For randomization, the Random Integer Generator method in the Numbers subheading of the https://www.random.org site will be used to create single-group columns between 1 and 128 in the system. In the data collection stage of the study, an Introductory Information Form, Risk Assessment Form of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Turkey, Visual Analog Patient Satisfaction Scale, Tilburg Pregnancy Distress Scale, Prenatal Self-Evaluation Scale - Fear of Childbirth and Sub-dimensions of Readiness for Childbirth, and Mobile Application Evaluation Form will be used.
Historically, reproduction and childbirth have conventionally been seen solely as a transition into motherhood and as matters primarily concerning the women. Expectant fathers often experience fear and stress in the perinatal period. Gender roles dictate that men should exude strength and self-assuredness. Hence, it leads expectant fathers to withhold their fears and emotions. Expectant fathers seek specific information about the process and may struggle with emotional expression. Fathers who overlook their own needs are unable to provide adequate support to their partners. Consequently, expectant mothers are more prone to experiencing heightened levels of stress, anxiety, and depression, and they may lean towards opting for cesarean deliveries. Additionally, they might persist in engaging in risky behaviors, such as smoking, and face challenges in maintaining breastfeeding. Support provided to expectant fathers leads to a positive influence on the health of both mothers and newborns. The development of technology has led to significant increase in the utilization of mobile devices within the healthcare. The implementation of mobile device interventions does not increase the workload on institutions and healthcare professionals. Hence, it can be utilized to address the needs of expectant fathers. For this reason, the aim of this study is to develop a mobile application to reduce expectant fathers' fear of childbirth and enhance paternal attachment.
The aim of this project was to determine the effect of the burn prevention and first aid mobile application developed for families living in tent cities and container houses after the earthquake on the burn prevention and first aid knowledge of families and the development of burns in the first two months after the mobile application. The research was planned as a prospective, two-arm (1:1), randomized controlled trial. The study population will consist of families living in tent cities and container houses in Şanlıurfa. As a result of the power analysis performed in the G*Power program, the sample group will consist of 30 families from the tent city and 30 families from the container city, taking into account the losses with a power of 90% and a maximum bidirectional 5% type error. All of the families (30 mobile application-study group; 30 control group) who make up the sample of the research will be given a training (powerpoint presentation) prepared by the researcher in line with the literature, and burn prevention and first aid practices will be explained and their questions will be answered. Then, the training to be given with the mobile application will be downloaded to the phones of the families in the experimental group and the training will continue through the application. In the study, data will be collected with the "Descriptive Characteristics Form", "Information Form on Burn Prevention and First Aid" and "Burn Development Follow-up Form", which include the descriptive information of the families. The data obtained from the study will be analyzed in computer environment.

Diabetes is a broad-spectrum metabolic disorder that causes a defect in the organism's carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism processes due to insulin deficiency or impaired insulin effect. Diabetes requires continuous medical care and causes chronic, severe mortality and morbidity. More than 90% of all people with diabetes worldwide suffer from Type 2 DM. Diabetes self-management includes self-monitoring of blood glucose levels, knowing and managing the symptoms of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, adherence to diet, physical exercise, and diabetic foot care. Considering the high prevalent and undesirable consequences of diabetes in the world, it is necessary to benefit from new educational technologies and tools. One of these technologies is gamification, which increases the quality of education as an effective educational tool, creates motivation and enthusiasm, and develops a sense of competition in the target audience. This study plans to develop a game that will include virtual coaching to increase the self-management and glycemic control of patients with type 2 diabetes.
Hypothyroidism refers to the common pathological condition of thyroid hormone deficiency. The annual incidence of hypothyroidism is 3.5 per 1000 in women and 0.6 in per 1000 men. Hypothyroidism is seen 5-8 times more frequently in women than in men. Patients with hypothyroidism have a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and often have metabolic syndrome features such as hypertension, increased waist circumference, and dyslipidemia. Other signs and symptoms include bradycardia, slow speech, swelling in the eyes and face, weight gain, decreased sweating, hair loss, pallor, forgetfulness, decreased concentration, depression, irritability, tongue growth, loss of appetite, palpitations, decreased hearing, menstrual irregularities, muscle pains, and cramps. Depending on all these signs and symptoms, hypothyroidism can negatively affect the quality of life of individuals. Therefore, it is essential to reduce symptoms and to improve patients' abilities to manage them. It is stated that the appropriate use of mobile health applications helps the patient to make informed decisions about health management and treatment. Therefore, this study plans to investigate the effect of mobile technology on symptom management in individuals with hypothyroidism, whose symptoms range from mild to severe.
