Filter by:Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), a widely used method to improve mental state and sleep quality, was developed by Kabat-Zinn in 1970. The meditation of MBSR is effective in regulating patients' emotions, leading to reduced stress, pain, and psychological symptoms. Studies have demonstrated that MBSR has a positive impact on multiple psychological and physical symptoms in a variety of cancers. On this basis, investigators found that VR treatment can also help patients relax, and it has been widely used in cancer symptom relief in recent years. VR treatment involves using headset devices that fully restrict the vision field to content displayed inside the headset screen; As a treatment modality, VR provides a unique environment comprising 3D visually immersive experiences that are enriched with stereo sounds and elements such as rich colors and scenic environments that enhance elicitation of desired states of arousal and affect. Within the therapeutic context, VR may be flexibly designed and tailored to address the needs of specific conditions (eg, anxiety, depression, pain) auditory perception is not fully restricted, though the corresponding device-delivered auditory content commands attention.
Background: Global guidelines recommend the use of personal protective equipment due to the high risk of contagiousness of COVID-19 disease. The increase in COVİD-19 patients in the last two years has increased the rate of use of latex gloves in nurses. It is not known how the increase in the use of latex gloves affects the complaints of latex allergy in nurses. Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the rates of latex glove use and allergic complaints related to the use of latex gloves during the COVID-19 pandemic in hospital nurses.
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the perceived competence of operating room nurses and the opinions of the surgical team, regarding the competence of nurses and the influencing factors with a deep understanding. Method: This convergent parallel mixed-methods study was carried out with members of the surgical team working in 17 hospitals including three public, two university, one city, one education and research, and ten private ones located in city center of Burdur, Isparta and Antalya provinces. The data were collected between May 1th, 2020 and August 20th, 2020 using Quantitative and Qualitative Personal Information Forms, Perceived Perioperative Competence Scale (PPCS-R) and semi-structured interview form. The quantitative data were assessed using the SPSS 24.0 package program, and the qualitative data were assessed using content analysis and thematic analysis. The quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed independently, and interpreted based on analytical generalization in the discussion section.
To date, there have been no interventional studies aimed at increasing HPV vaccination rates by making use of digital and involving all stakeholders within this process: nurses, physicians, caregivers, parents, and children/adolescents according to the PPI principle. The primary objective of the project is to identify the effectiveness of a digital educational intervention, conducted by a multidisciplinary healthcare team and targeting adolescents of both sexes in secondary schools. The outcome measures will be: engagement, increased knowledge and self-efficacy, and vaccination uptake. This project will identify new models for addressing public health needs. The secondary aim is to evaluate parents' attitudes toward vaccination pre- and post-intervention education. A quasi-experimental, pre-post educational intervention study will be conducted by adopting a convenience sampling will be adopted at secondary schools in Bari (Puglia, Italy).
To determine the effect of the imagery technique used in the Nursing Fundamentals course on the self-effectiveness-efficacy and anxiety levels of students. This study was designed as a randomized controlled trial. The research was completed with a total of 85 students, 40 of which were in the intervention group and 45 in the control group. The imagery technique was applied to the intervention group once a week for 4 weeks before the laboratory practice lesson. This study are self-efficacy-sufficiecy and state and trait anxiety levels obtained from the questionnaire before and after the application. While there was no difference in the mean scores of self-efficacy-sufficiecy and trait anxiety of the students before and after the application of the imagery technique (p=0.515, p=0.456), it was determined that the mean score of state anxiety of the students in the intervention group decreased significantly after the application (p=0.044). Academic nurses should work on increasing self-efficacy and reducing the level of trait anxiety, in addition to the supportive imagery technique during training.
Aim:This research was designed as a randomized controlled study to examine the effect of the game-based virtual reality learning method on the patient's post-operative admission to the clinic on the learning outcomes of the students. Desing: This study was designed as a randomized controlled study to examine the effect of the game-based virtual reality learning method on the patient's post-operative admission to the clinic on the learning outcomes of the students. Metod: The universe of the research will be nursing students who have taken the Surgical Diseases Nursing Course at Gazi University Faculty of Health Sciences Nursing Department in the 2021-2022 academic year. As a result of the power analysis using the G-power 3.1.9.7 package program; The effect size was calculated as 0.40 (It was seen from the literature studies that the effect size of the change in the knowledge score of the two groups was large effect size), and the total number of 68 samples is sufficient with 90% power, 5% margin of error, 95% confidence level, 20% drop-out Considering the rate of study, it was found sufficient to work with at least 82 people (Experiment: 41, Control: 41). For research data, "descriptive features form", "knowledge test form", "skill evaluation checklist", "student opinions form about game-based virtual reality game application", egameflow scale will be used.
Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of hospitalisation and disability-adjusted life years lost, with mortality rates exceeding most cancers. Despite compelling evidence and recommendations, less than 20% of the HF patients are followed-up by the specialist healthcare after hospital discharge. Due to limited outpatient capacity, human resources and increasing incidence of HF over the next decades, new care models are obviously needed. Remote monitoring (i.e. telemonitoring) encompasses the use of audio, video and other telecommunication technologies to monitor patient status at a distance. Remote monitoring is a promising strategy that can facilitate rapid access to care when needed and reduce patient travel to hospital consultations. It also promotes self-care behaviour, psychosocial support, and early detection of cardiac decompensation. Despite intensive research for >10 years, randomised trials show conflicting results, and European HF guidelines are confined to a weak (class IIb, level of evidence B) recommendation. More knowledge about the role of remote monitoring strategies in HF management, especially in the transition from hospital to home, is thus requested in the most recent European and US guidelines. In particular, studies of high-risk patients integrating the community health services are largely lacking. Furthermore, the components of the intervention that mediate the effect need to be identified. The proposed study aims to address these gaps in evidence and assess whether individually tailored remote monitoring at home (IT-HEART) is improves clinical outcomes in patients hospitalized with decompensated HF. We also aim to identify modifiable clinical and behavioural (drug adherence, self-care, psychological factors) outcome predictors. A prospective, multicentre, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint adjudication (PROBE) intervention study is designed and powered to include at least150 patients with at least one HF hospitalization in the 12 months preceding enrolment. To ensure generalizability, patients will be included regardless of comorbidity, frailty and ejection fraction. We have conducted a pilot-study providing empirical evidence for the expected participation rate, readmission rate and barriers to HF management in current clinical practice that will be targets for the intervention. This will promote high adherence to the intervention and positive long-term clinical and health economic effects.
The purpose of oral care is to reduce the effect of oral pathological microbial flora and to prevent infection, pain, and bleeding associated with cancer treatment. New agents are introduced each day to be used in the prevention and treatment of mucositis in cancer treatment. One of those agents is the Ankaferd Hemostat. Ankaferd Hemostat has pleiotropic effects and anti-infective characteristics in tissue healing. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Ankaferd Hemostat in the prevention of oral mucositis due to chemotherapy in adult patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer. The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study to be conducted with patients who are recently diagnosed with colorectal cancer and will receive the first course of chemotherapyd. The data were collected using the Performance Score and the Oral Mucositis Evaluation Scale.
Children experience numerous painful experiences from nursing procedures: peripheral venous access placement is the main cause of procedural pain. As much as pharmacological and nonpharmacological tools are known, their application during venipuncture is not systematic by children's hospitals. Among pharmacological tools, the Equimolar Mixture of Nitrogen Protoxide and Oxygen (EMONO) provides adequate protection from procedural pain through inhalation of the gas mixture at least 3 minutes before the procedure. Literature reports that the combination of nonpharmacological distractive tools and pharmacological interventions increases their analgesic effect. The aim of the study is to measure children's cooperation during procedure (primary outcome), pain perception and side effects when EMONO is combined with audiovisuals compared with EMONO alone in peripheral venous access placement.
