Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of virtual reality application on pain management, comfort, and care satisfaction in patients undergoing thyroidectomy-parathyroidectomy. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the use of virtual reality reduce the level of postoperative pain in patients undergoing thyroid and parathyroid surgery? 2. Does the use of virtual reality increase the postoperative comfort level in patients undergoing thyroid and parathyroid surgery? 3. Does the use of virtual reality increase the level of satisfaction after surgery in patients undergoing thyroid and parathyroid surgery? Participants in the experimental group watched a virtual reality video containing nature and sea images and music playing in the background for 15 minutes. Participants in the control group received routine clinical care after thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy. The pain levels of the patients in the experimental group were lower, and the comfort level was higher than in the control group. There was no difference between the groups in terms of satisfaction level with nursing care.

There are two main treatments for end-stage renal disease (ESRD): dialysis and transplantation.Renal transplantation is the best and most preferred treatment for ESRD patients.Self management after renal transplantation is difficult. Individuals need appropriate care,education, counseling and support in order to change their behavior to cope with health problems during the transplantation process.The aim of nursing care and education is to enable the individual to acquire the knowledge, skills and attitude to independently carry out daily life activities and to adopt this as a lifestyle.Nursing care and education requires an interdisciplinary teamwork, and in this process, the nurse plays a key role as she constantly interacts with the donor, recipient and family.The research was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study with pretest-posttest design.A total of 60 nurses, 30 in the control group and 30 in the intervention group,who met the criteria for inclusion in the study, will form the sample of the study.After obtaining consent from the nurses in the intervention and control groups, they will be asked to fill out the Nurse InformationForm, the Patient-Centered Care Competency Scale and the Nurses Counseling Skills Scale. Aftercompleting the web-based training, intervention group nurses will be asked to fill in the Patient Centered Care Competency Scale and the Counseling Skills in Nurses Scale at the 1st and 3rd months. No training will be given to the nurses in the control group and they will be asked to fill the Patient-Centered Care Competency Scale and the Counseling Skills for Nurses Scale again.

Today, error rates increase in intramuscular (IM) drug administrations, which are frequently applied in clinical settings, due to many factors such as the increase in the number of students in nursing education, the low number of educators, insufficient clinical space and insufficient laboratory environments. This situation makes it inevitable to use different teaching methods in nursing education, especially in the acquisition and development of psychomotor skills. Games, which are a type of virtual simulation methods; It is defined as a pedagogical tool that offers the student the widest possible learning opportunity, interesting, interactive media, and a teaching beyond entertainment. It is very important to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills in the management of intramuscular drug administration, which will constitute the majority of postgraduate applications of nursing students, by using today's technologies during their student life. Another factor that is effective in psychomotor skill learning is; students' anxiety level. Nursing students may experience anxiety while using the new technique, which negatively affects the learning process of the student. One of the reasons for the anxiety experienced by the students is that they have not reached enough professional knowledge and skills. It is observed that this level of anxiety increases especially in psychomotor skills. In the exams conducted for the evaluation of laboratory practices in nursing education, the student demonstrates the skills learned during the term. The level of anxiety he feels during this practice may also affect his performance. The general result of studies examining the relationship between test anxiety and academic performance is that there is a negative relationship between test anxiety and academic success. For this reason, it is very important to control students' anxiety. Although the level of state anxiety increases from time to time, especially in the trainings carried out with simulation, it is one of the training methods that increases the self-confidence of the students by reducing their anxiety in the future. Based on these reasons, this research; The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of computer-assisted game on success and anxiety level in the development of intramuscular injection application skills in nursing education.
This study evaluates the effects of an electronic patient decision support system developed for the use of patients with type 2 diabetes (DiaPaDeSS) on self-management, patient activation, and metabolic parameters. To manage type 2 diabetes after discharge, patients must continue to perform interventions at home, such as blood glucose monitoring, blood pressure measurement, weight measurement, medication use, and foot care. To achieve this, patient's self-management and activation levels should be increased. This can also lead to positive improvements in the metabolic parameters. It would be beneficial to develop DiaPaDeSS that can increase the self-management and activation levels of patients with type 2 diabetes. The investigators will develop the DiaPaDeSS intervention protocol. Our content includes patient education information about type 2 diabetes, self-management practice tasks (daily, weekly, quarterly), a type 2 diabetes patient education program according to DiaPaDeSS algorithms, and measurement questionnaires. The content of the DiaPaDeSS will be evaluated by 10 experts in the fields of medicine, nursing, and informatics. A feasibility test with seven patients will be conducted to evaluate the usability of DiaPaDeSS. A single-blind, randomized controlled trial design will be used. Patients with type 2 diabetes will be pretested and randomized (intervention 36, control 36) to the DiaPaDeSS intervention and control groups. Both the DiaPaDeSS intervention and control groups will use the DiaPaDeSS for three months. While participants in the DiaPaDeSS intervention group can reach all contents of the DiaPaDeSS, others can reach only these fields: self-management practice tasks (daily, weekly, quarterly), and measurements questionnaires. The effectiveness of the DiaPaDeSS will be evaluated at baseline and at month 3.
