Filter by:This type of study is a randomized controlled trial. The aim is to contribute to the literature by comparing the effects of heart yoga on the depression level, sleep and quality of life of patients who do and do not do heart yoga. The main elements it aims to answer are: - Heart yoga applied to patients who have undergone heart surgery improves their sleep quality compared to those who have not. - Heart yoga applied to patients who have undergone heart surgery reduces the level of depression compared to those who have not. - Heart yoga applied to patients who have undergone heart surgery increases the quality of life compared to those who have not. Patients who accept the study will practice heart yoga simultaneously with heart yoga videos via an online link every other day for 12 weeks after heart surgery. Researchers will compare intervention and control groups to see if there are any effects on sleep quality, depression level, and quality of life.
This study will be investigated the effects of facilitated tucking, ShotBlocker and combined facilitated tucking and ShotBlocker methods on procedural pain, crying time and duration of the procedure during Hepatitis B vaccine administration in healthy term infants.
The goal of this is randomized controlled study to examine the effect of early mobilization on sleep, physiological parameters, and length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU). The hypothesis are: Hypothesis I: Early mobilization positively affects the sleep quality of patients. Hypothesis II: Early mobilization positively affects the physiological parameters of patients (respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, pain). Hypothesis III: Early mobilization shortens the length of stay of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Early mobilization will begin in the experimental group after sedation is discontinued within the first 12 hours and its effects disappear. In early mobilization, in the evaluation of in-bed mobilization, physiological parameters (respiratory rate, sPO 2, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, pain) will be evaluated and recorded in the supine, semi-fowler position. In out-of-bed mobilization, the patient's physiological parameters (respiratory rate, sPO 2, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, pain) will be determined and recorded before mobilization and when the head is in a 45˚ upward position. Surgical wounds and dressing areas, if any, are protected, drains are identified, care is taken not to remove equipment such as urinary catheters or nasogastric tubes, when the patient is seated on the edge of the bed with the help of a nurse, when he/she is stood up next to the bed with the support of the nurse, when he/she is made to sit in a chair next to the bed and when he/she is in a chair. While sitting, 1st minute, 5th minute, 10th minute respiratory rate, sPO2, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature values and pain levels will be recorded and these data will be evaluated on their own. During mobilization, if the patient develops chest pain, arrhythmia, hypertension (systolic pressure>160 mmHg), or hypotension (systolic pressure<90 mmHg), tachypnea, or hypoxia, a break will be taken and the physician will be consulted. The same procedures will be repeated during the mobilization of the patient in the first 24-36 hours and the necessary records will be made by the researcher. Control Group: After admission to the Cardiovascular Surgery ICU, the type, purpose and implementation process of the study will be explained to the patients, and a routine/standard postoperative mobilization procedure will be applied to the patients in the control group. Accordingly, patients will be mobilized in the first 24 hours after surgery, and in the evaluation of in-bed mobilization, their physiological parameters (respiratory rate, sPO 2, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, pain) will be evaluated and recorded in the supine, semi-fowler position. In out-of-bed mobilization, the patient's physiological parameters (respiratory rate, sPO 2, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, pain) will be determined and recorded before mobilization and when the head is in a 45˚ upward position. Again, arterial blood gas monitoring of the patients in the control group will be performed at maximum 4-hour intervals, and respiratory parameters will be frequently evaluated and recorded.
Purpose: This project aimed to examine the effects of laughter yoga, which is accepted as an international nursing initiative, on loneliness, anger and salivary cortisol levels in visually impaired individuals. When the national and international literature was examined, no project was found that measured the results of laughter yoga as an intervention for visually impaired individuals. For this reason, planning an original project in this field aims to contribute to the literature. Thanks to the evidence obtained, laughter yoga, an innovative approach, can be disseminated in institutions and organizations serving visually impaired individuals as an evidence-based practice that can improve the social skills of individuals. Scope and Target Audience: The project will be carried out with visually impaired individuals receiving services in the Disabled Persons Department within the Atatürk Provincial Public Library located in Konak district of Izmir. In this section, services are provided to 250 members who actively use the library and to visually impaired people from all over Turkey. Method and Expected Result: The project was planned in a randomized controlled, pre-test post-test, single-blind follow-up consultancy design. With this initiative, a social rehabilitation environment will be provided for visually impaired individuals by taking an approach based on respect, understanding and awareness. Laughter yoga is expected to reduce the level of anger and loneliness in visually impaired individuals. At the same time, laughter yoga is expected to reduce cortisol levels, which are known to increase when faced with stress factors, and increase serotonin, which is associated with happiness and vitality, and endorphine, known as the body's natural painkiller. With laughter yoga sessions, a social environment will be created where visually impaired individuals will have an active and independent experience. Thanks to the expected evidence, laughter yoga can be popularized both in visually impaired individuals and in individuals with other disabilities. Within the scope of protecting and improving health, laughter yoga can be planned to be carried out as a routine nursing practice in disabled centers. Thus, by creating an environment where visually impaired individuals and nurses come together, a more accessible health service will be provided to individuals with special needs.
The study was designed as a descriptive study. The universe of the study is İzzet Baysal Training and Research Hospital; It consists of patients who underwent coronary angiography in the coronary intensive care unit.
Elderly abuse is a pervasive and concerning issue, particularly as the global population ages. Gerontological nurses play a pivotal role in identifying, preventing, and responding to elder abuse.

H04: Singing a lullaby along with touching to premature babies in the neonatal intensive care unit in the early period and then applying a developmental support program has no effect on the cognitive skills of premature babies. H05: Singing a lullaby along with touching to premature babies in the neonatal intensive care unit in the early period and then applying a developmental support program has no effect on the motor skills of premature babies.
During the aging process, concrete changes such as loss of function in organs and systems resulting from biological, physiological and psychological negativities and difficulty in participating in daily life activities occur. Frailty, one of the geriatric syndromes, is a complex condition that increases vulnerability to stressors and causes a decrease in the physiological reserve necessary to maintain homeostasis in most organs. When examined pathophysiologically, it is thought that frailty is not only evaluated as physical, but psychological and social fragility may also contribute to this situation. It is thought that physical activity that includes strength training to maintain or improve muscle mass throughout aging may reduce muscle loss, an important risk factor for frailty. To treat physical frailty, supervised exercise is recommended as an effective strategy. Yoga; It is a holistic practice that encourages healing through breathing, movement, strength, flexibility and achieving integrity of spirit, body and mind. Being a meditative practice distinguishes yoga from other typical forms of physical exercise, despite having similar metabolic intensity. Regular yoga has the potential to improve flexibility, balance and muscle strength in older individuals. It is also known that yoga improves cognitive function in the elderly, helps manage chronic conditions, reduces pain due to osteoarthritis, improves sleep, increases subjective well-being and health-related quality of life. During the healthy aging process, people may need to be guided according to their individual and health characteristics. By supporting this situation with appropriate nursing care, losses can be reduced and optimum health can be maintained. One of the biggest advantages of yoga applied within the scope of nursing care is that the individual's progress is ensured in a controlled manner by preparing a flow in line with appropriate asana selections, taking into account the individual's health condition. Nursing, by its nature, requires a holistic approach to people. Similarly, the practice of yoga is considered a practice that integrates not only physical health but also the mind, body and soul. This study was planned as a randomized controlled, double-blind and experimental study to evaluate the effect of vinyasa yoga on frailty and anthropometric measurements in elderly individuals.
