Filter by:One of the leading elements in providing safe healthcare is to maintain employee health and safety. Hazards in the working environments of healthcare professionals threaten employee safety and cause errors in patient care. In this case, healthcare professionals working in a safe environment means that patients receive service in a safe environment. Safety climate is the perception of employees of the policies, procedures and practices that exist to ensure safety in the workplace and is an important element for the formation of a safety culture in the workplace. There are many factors that determine the perception of safety climate. These factors can be listed as the type and size of the organization, the occupational risks that employees are exposed to at work, the way occupational safety is managed, the gender, seniority of employees, and their position in the organization.
Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effect of health education material developed by nursing students in gynecological health and disease nursing on students' teaching material motivation and material design self-efficacy belief.

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.
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.
This study was planned to determine the mobilization process and factors affecting this process in patients who underwent open heart surgery and were admitted to the cardiovascular surgery intensive care unit.
The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental research with the purpose of determining the effect of distraction by using Virtual Reality Glasses, Kaleidoscope and Distraction Cards in reducing pain and anxiety during blood draw in children.
Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of singing a lullaby with compassionate touch on early comfort and later on development of developmental support program in premature infants in the neonatal intensive care unit. H01: Singing a lullaby along with touching in the early stages of premature babies in the neonatal intensive care unit has no effect on the comfort score of the babies. H02: 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 social emotional skills of premature babies. H03: Singing lullabies with touch 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 language skills of premature babies. 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.
Background: Delirium is a common and serious condition in hospitalized patients that often leads to extended hospital stays and increased healthcare costs. Accurate and timely detection is essential for optimal patient outcome. Aims: This study aimed to adapt the internationally recognized 4 AT Delirium Diagnosis Scale to Turkish and to evaluate the validity and reliability of this tool for the Turkish patient population. Design: This study was structured and conducted at a state hospital from March to June 2023. Methods: The study included 188 participants, determined through a power analysis. The 4AT Delirium Test and additional assessment tools were used to ascertain the delirium status of the patients. Comprehensive statistical evaluations were conducted using SPSS 25.0, which included analyses, such as item difficulty indices, item discrimination, and chi-square tests. Ethical approval for this study was granted by the Non-Interventional Ethics Committee, ensured full compliance with the ethical standards set by the World Medical Association's Declaration of Helsinki. All participants provided informed consent before participation. Additionally, our results strictly adhered to the guidelines of the STROBE Checklist.
Aim: This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of two types of mattresses with different support surfaces used in bedridden patients. Method: The sample of this quasi-experimental study consisted of 60 patients according to the inclusion criteria. A group I and group II of 30 patients each were formed from the sampled patients. For the patients in group I, a bed with a cube/block system and vibration (massage) feature was used. For the patients in group II, a viscoelastic mattress was used. The data of the study were collected with the ''Patient Identification Form'', ''Braden Scale'', ''Pressure Wound Observation Form'' and ''Wound Measurement Chart''. Number-percentage distributions, Chi-square, Fisher's Exact Probability Test and Mann-Whitney-U tests were used to evaluate the data. Implications for Clinical Practice: It was determined that the support surface used affected the pressure sore size and the mattress with cube/block system and vibration (massage) feature created smaller sized wounds in the sacrum, trochanter, malleolus and heel regions. In the sacrum, scapula, and heel regions, although not statistically significant in terms of wound stage and the number of patients who developed pressure sores, it was seen that the mattress with cube/block system and vibration (massage) feature was more effective.
