Open heart surgery method is generally used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Sternotomy is the process of opening the sternum. After sternotomy, individuals experience ongoing pain in the anterior thorax. Despite developing pain methods and treatments, individuals undergoing cardiovascular surgery suffer from pain that cannot be managed well. Patients undergoing cardiac surgery experience severe pain for the first 48 hours and are in intensive care during this period. Pain is the most important stress factor for intensive care patients. The nurse and health care team should play a key role and take an active role in the management and evaluation of pain. However, there are not enough studies trying to define the role of the nurse in the management of postoperative pain. Protocols are used to provide pain management and routine pain assessment in intensive care units. The use of protocols provides maximum care to the patient, while reducing the cost. It also ensures the patient's participation in the treatment. While protocols ensure that practices are converted into evidence-based ones, they also prevent disruptions in treatment. As a result, management of the pain experiences of patients with sternotomy who underwent open heart surgery in the intensive care unit with the developed protocol; It will guide the improvement and development of pain management. It is thought that the protocol will address the pain of individuals undergoing open heart surgery in a holistic way. In addition, no study has been found in the literature that includes the development of a protocol for the pain of intensive care patients undergoing open heart surgery. For this reason, it is thought that the study will shed light on the literature by being a resource in the management and improvement of pain.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of an incubator cover on the vital signs of term and preterm neonates hospitalized in a neonatal intensive care unit. Methods: 91 neonates presenting to a neonatal intensive care unit who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Vital signs of neonates were measured with and without incubator cover. Measurements were performed three times (0th, 15th, and 30th minute).
Cancer is an important health problem in the world and in our country, and it ranks second among the causes of death in our country (20.7%). Chemotherapy, one of the most commonly used methods in cancer treatment, causes many physical and emotional symptoms while treating the disease. Nausea-vomiting is a common problem in cancer care, especially in patients receiving chemotherapy. In the literature, there are studies examining non-pharmacological interventions for the prevention and management of nausea and vomiting in patients receiving chemotherapy, and it is seen that the interventions are mostly within the scope of complementary and alternative approaches. Patients receiving ambulatory chemotherapy may experience anticipatory nausea in particular, and this is likely to affect the individual's comfort level. In studies conducted in the field, the comfort level of cancer patients receiving chemotherapy was determined as moderate. Today, mandalas are used effectively in the field of art therapy. The possibility of using mandala in all age groups has contributed to the treatment process of different diseases and disorders, and its effectiveness has been presented to the scientific world with many researches around the world. In adults, the mandala has been used both in the treatment of psychiatric disorders and as a tool to observe the effects of treatments. Art therapy including mandala drawing has significantly reduced the severity of trauma symptoms in individuals with anxiety disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder. In the study of Zhao & Tang (2017) it was determined that mandala drawing therapy reduced the anxiety of cancer patients. If the reduction of nausea-vomiting affects the comfort level and the person is relieved, a more effective treatment environment is created and the quality of life of the person is increased. In the literature, very limited studies have been reached on the use of the mandala drawing technique in cancer patients. National and international research examining the mandala drawing technique, especially in patients receiving ambulatory chemotherapy, could not be reached. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of mandala drawing technique on nausea-vomiting and comfort level in patients receiving ambulatory chemotherapy. It is anticipated that the study to be conducted will contribute to nursing interventions in the cancer care process and lead to the planning of new research on the subject.
The goal of this prospective, randomized controlled study was to inverstigate the effect of humor on pain and in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) during IV treatment. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - to compare the effect of humor on pain between two groups of patients with RA who watched a comedy movie (intervention group) and who did not (control group) during IV biological therapy. - to compare the effect of humor on anxiety between two groups of patients with RA who watched a comedy movie (intervention group) and who did not (control group) during IV biological therapy. Participants in the intervention group watched a comedy movie during routine IV biologic treatment in the chemotherapy unit, while the control group received only routine IV biologic treatment as a usual care.
Existing measures to prevent intraventricular hemorrhage in preterm infants include preventing premature delivery, pre-natal administration of corticosteroid, active treatment of chorioamnionitis, and improvement of postnatal resuscitation and transfer process. Many overseas studies show that nursing care can reduce the risk of intraventricular hemorrhage and death, but there is no such study in Taiwan. Objective: to explore the effect of bundle nursing care on prevention of IVH in premature infants.

The aim of the study is to examine the effect of animal-assisted practice on fear in children admitted to the emergency room.
Objective: The objective of the present research is to compare the nutritional status, weight gain, length of hospital stay, and development of some complications in very low birth-weight (VLBW) infants who received and did not receive olive oil supplementation enterally.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the nursing support program developed in line with the Roy Adaptation Model on the quality of life, sleep quality and depressive symptom status of women in surgical menopause. Design: The study was a single-center, randomized, controlled trial. Setting: This study was carried out in the gynecology clinic of a training and research hospital in Türkiye. Method: The participants were randomized into two equal groups: intervention and control. The nursing support program developed in addition to routine nursing care was applied to the intervention group. Routine nursing care was given to the women in the control group. Data were collected with "Personal Information Form", "Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnare", "Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index" and "Perimenopausal Depression Scale". Hypothesis: H0-a: Nursing support program developed in line with the Roy Adaptation Model has no effect on the quality of life of women who have undergone surgical menopause. H0-b: Nursing support program developed in line with the Roy Adaptation Model has no effect on the sleep quality of women who have undergone surgical menopause. H0-c: Nursing support program developed in line with the Roy Adaptation Model has no effect on the depressive symptom status of women who have undergone surgical menopause.
