Filter by:The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of a standardized care plan to reduce the fear of falling in people over 65 years of age with fear of falling who live in the community. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is it possible to reduce the fear of falling in patients over 65 years of age through an educational intervention in primary care? - Is it possible to reduce falls in patients older than 65 years through an educational intervention in primary care? Half of the participants will receive an educational intervention consisting of 6 two-hour sessions at the Health Center. The comparison group will follow the usual clinical practice recommended by the Primary Care Assistance Management of the Community of Madrid. It is intended to observe if there are differences in the fear of falling and falls in both groups.
The goal of this interventional study is to determine the effect of progressive relaxation exercises on the vital signs and fatigue levels of patients with renal transplantation.
Summary Aim: This research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of education given to students using digital storytelling in safe pediatric intravenous drug administration. Method: It is a randomized controlled experimental study. The sample of the study consisted of 84 nursing students. The students included in the study were divided into two equal groups: the experimental and control groups. Digital education material of the experimental group and theoretical education was applied to the control group. Before and after the training, a post-knowledge test was made and evaluated.
Abstract Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of reflexology on fatigue in kidney transplant patients. Design: The study will be conducted as randomized, controlled and experimental. Method: The data of the research will be collected in the transplant clinic of a foundation university practice and research hospital between 07.12.2020 - 18.06.2021. While the population of the study consisted of 254 patients who underwent kidney transplantation in the transplant unit, 68 patients were included in the sample. The patients included in the study were divided into reflexology (n=34) and control (n=34) groups with the help of a program. Data will be collected using Questionnaire and Piper Fatigue Scale. Chi-square test, Student's t test, Mann Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test, correlation, generalized estimation equation and Least Significant Difference tests will be used in the evaluation of the data. Keywords: kidney transplantation, reflexology, fatigue, nursing.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of abdominal massage on pain and distention in patients who underwent colonoscopy. Methods: This randomized controlled study was conducted between October 2019 and December 2021 with the participation of 60 patients who underwent colonoscopy in the endoscopy unit of a university hospital. Thirty patients performing abdominal massage after colonoscopy were included in the experimental group.
The "TakeCare!" study addresses the problem that vocational students of nursing care cope with great physical and psychological demands during their daily routines. To meet these demands, the Bavarian curriculum for generalist nurses has adopted the promotion of physical activity-related health competence (PAHCO) for vocational students. However, it must be assumed that the concept has not yet been adopted comprehensively across the Bavarian nursing landscape. Therefore, the "TakeCare!" study tackles the question of how PAHCO can be implemented most appropriately in Bavarian nursing schools. Drawing on experiences from the project PArC-AVE, three different dissemination approaches will being tested and compared with a control group. A total of 16 nursing schools from different regions of Bavaria will be assigned to four different study arms (cluster-randomized design). In the long term, the project aims to derive recommendations for all nursing schools in Bavaria.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the interactive nurse support program developed as a mobile application on patient outcomes (symptom management, quality of life, perception of social support and anxiety) in colorectal cancer patients receiving chemotherapy during the COVID-19 process; It was planned in a randomized controlled, single-blind design. In the study, a mobile application will be designed for colorectal cancer patients with the content created in line with the literature. In the application, the "about COVID-19" module, which includes information for colorectal cancer patients during the COVID-19 process, the "learning module" in which the symptoms and suggestions for colorectal cancer patients receiving chemotherapy are included, the "discussion" module where patients can share their knowledge and experiences with each other, The "ask the expert" module, where nurses and physicians can ask questions, will be comprised of the "lived stories" module and the communication sections, which include interview videos made with individuals who are in remission only after completing the treatment related to the disease. A pretest consisting of Personal Information Form, Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale EORTC QLQ-C30 and CR29 Quality of Life Scale, ECOG Performance Scale and Beck Anxiety Scale will be administered to all patients included in the study. The mobile application will be installed on the phones of the patients in the experimental group and they will be used for 12 weeks. Patients in the control group will receive standard care during this process and no intervention will be made. In the sixth and twelve weeks, all participants will be given a posttest. The change in symptom management, quality of life, perceived social support and anxiety levels of the experimental group after mobile application use will be evaluated.
The objective of this study is to evaluate effectiveness, usability and clinical utility of the remote patient monitoring (RPM) "fit" score when choosing patients to enter the RPM Program.
Breast cancer remains the most common type of cancer in the world. Cancer itself and chemotherapy treatment, which is one of the most important treatment steps, may cause unwanted physical, social and psychological effects (symptoms) for the patient. These effects significantly affect the patient's quality of life. It is possible to manage the symptoms and reduce their destructive effects with professional care and treatment support that includes evidence-based practices. On the other hand, breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy during the Coronavirus Pandemic form the risk group in terms of infection; On the one hand, the continued treatment and care support, on the other hand, required changes in the approach to the patient in order to reduce the risk of infection. In addition to reducing the risk of infection, mobile applications can create an alternative during the coronavirus Pandemic. process in order to maintain quality and uninterrupted care and treatment. This study is planned to be conducted analytically in a randomized controlled single-blind pattern in order to determine the effect of the interactive nurse support program developed with the mobile application on the patient outcomes (symptom management, quality of life, social support perception and anxiety) in breast cancer patients who received chemotherapy during the coronavirus pandemic. Within the scope of the study, interactive nurse support developed with mobile application will be applied to the research group from patients who apply to the polyclinic to receive chemotherapy treatment, and the control group will receive standard care. As a result of the analysis of the data collected systematically with forms and scales, the effect of the interactive nurse support program developed with the mobile application on patient outcomes (symptom management, quality of life, social support perception and anxiety) will be evaluated and recommendations will be made regarding the use of the application in patients with breast cancer.
Aims: To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of Health Coaching in empowering hospitalised chronic heart failure patients. Methods: pre-post quasi-experimental pilot study was carried out with 59 patients, allocated into the pre-intervention group (N=29) and post-intervention group (N=30) in a cardiology ward of a hospital. The intervention consisted of the knowledge traslation acquired on health coaching by the nurses of the cardiology unit to their care activity with CHF patients. The Patient empowerment in long-term conditions Questionnaire was used to measure heart failure patients: Attitude and sense of control; Shared and informed decision-making; and Information seeking and peer sharing, on two occasions: T1, pre-intervention, and T2, after completion of the intervention.
