Filter by:With aging, deterioration in sleep structure and balance occurs. In particular, individuals over the age of 65 often have sleep problems, and non-pharmacological methods used to solve this problem are much more reliable than pharmacological methods. It is important for nurses who contribute most to their care to regulate and facilitate sleep, which is one of the basic needs of people. Thanks to this study, it is planned to solve the sleep-related problems of elderly individuals by using the sedative and relaxing effect of the lavender plant, which is used in many areas, thus increasing their quality of life, and it is planned to prevent falls by increasing their physical balance controls. This study aims to determine the effect of lavender scent recommended for the elderly in Konya on sleep quality and physical balance. This research is a randomized experimental design with pretest-posttest control group. The research is planned to be carried out between January 2023 and November 2023. The population of the research consists of elderly individuals living in society. In order to determine the sample size, power analysis will be made using the G-Power (v3.1.9.2) program. Personal Information Form and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index will be used in data collection. The data obtained as a result of the research; It will be analyzed with IBM SPSS program. p<0.05 will be considered statistically significant.
Background: Smoking, which remains one of the biggest public health threats that the world faces and has reached epidemic proportions, continues to cause more than eight million deaths on average per year worldwide. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of motivational interviewing technique on the smoking urge and the success of smoking cessation in teachers. Methods: This was an experimental (randomized controlled) study where motivational interviews were conducted with the individuals in the experimental group. The sample of the study was chosen from the teachers, who met the inclusion criteria, in the secondary schools in the central districts of Manisa. The study was completed with 30 smokers in the experimental group and 31 smokers in the control group. Questionnaire on Smoking Urges, Smoking Cessation Success Prediction Scale and Sociodemographic Data Form were used as data collecting tools. Chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test, Wilcoxon test, t-test and regression analysis were used to analyse the data.
Background: During the curricular practices of the Bachelor's Degree in Nursing, students are prepared to carry out an adequate transition process to the professional role. The success of this preparation depends, to a large extent, on preceptorship. In this sense, it is important that practice tutors are motivated and feel competent to teach in the clinical setting. Despite this, no studies have been found that implement and evaluate an intervention to improve nurses' perceptions of preceptorship of undergraduate nursing students. Purpose: To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of a coaching programme to improve nurses' perceptions of preceptorship of undergraduate nursing students. Specifically, the aim is to determine the impact of the programme on nurses' perceived involvement, motivation, satisfaction, barriers and commitment to clinical mentoring. Method: An exploratory pre-post quasi-experimental pilot study. Fifteen nurses, the total population of nurses working in the medical-surgical ward, with at least 1 year of experience in the preceptorship of students, will be recruited in June 2022. All the nurses will receive an intervention based on coaching. The strategies of this program consisted of five 6-hour sessions using case studies and role-playing simulations to work on their motivation to develop their teaching role in the preceptorship of undergraduate nursing students and debriefing and a 4-hour booster session seven months later. The IMSOC (involvement, motivation, satisfaction, obstacles and commitment) instrument was used to assess outcomes. The primary outcome was the difference in the median of nurses' involvement, motivation, satisfaction, barriers and commitment in preceptorship students pre and post-intervention (between T0-T1 and T0-T2). Changes within nurses were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test for related samples.
Today, rapidly developing technology needs to be integrated into teaching environments and reconstructed teaching environments. When virtual reality applications, which are among the popular and innovative technologies, are examined, it is seen that participants are used in many areas of education. In this randomized controlled study, it was aimed to evaluate the impact of stoma care education by designing a serious game based web application that enables nursing students to gain skills and practice in psychomotor applications. The universe of the study will be students enrolled in the Surgical Diseases Nursing course in the spring semester of the 2020-2021 academic year at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Gümüşhane University. Students will be divided into two groups as control and experiment by randomization method. The data will be collected through introductory features form, 'Stoma Care Information Form', 'Stoma Care Skill Checklist' and Computer System Usability Survey. In the first stage of the study, the students will be given a 'Stoma Care Information Form' (first knowledge). 'Stoma Care Information Form' (second information) and 'Stoma Care Skill Checklist' will be applied after completing the theoretical lesson of stoma care and group work in the laboratory of students in the experimental and control groups. Unlike the control group, of students in the experimental group; A serious game-based web application on stoma care prepared as a support for formal education will be installed. After four weeks of the students attending formal education, 'Stoma Care Information Form' (third knowledge) and 'Stoma Care Skill Checklist' (second skill) will be applied. In the experiment and control group, two weeks later, the "Stoma Care Information Form" (fourth information) and "Stoma Care Skill Checklist" (third skill) will be applied again to test the permanence of the methods. Skill measurements of students will be made with an objective structured clinical exam. The results obtained after the application will be analyzed and the impact of serious game based web application on stoma care education will be determined
ABSTRACT The Effect of the Training on Adaptation to Treatment Provided to Hemodialysis Patients According to the Neuman Systems Theory on Self-Esteem and Perceived Social Support Aim: The present study was conducted to determine the effect of the training provided to hemodialysis patients according to Neuman Systems Theory on self-esteem and perceived social support in pretest-posttest comparison semi-experimental fashion. Material and Method: The study population consisted of 108 individuals. The sampling consisted of 84 subjects, 42 of whom constituted the Study Group and 42 of whom constituted the Control Group. The study was conducted in two dialysis centers between 15.04.2017 and 15.10.2017. In the study, the data were collected with Patient Identification Form, Neuman Systems Evaluation Form, Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory, Social Support Perceived from Family and Friends Scale and Hemodialysis Stressor Scale. In the Study Group, the training was repeated to the individuals with the training book "Let Us Learn Hemodialysis", which was prepared by the researcher, after the one-to-one training in houses in line with the Neuman Systems Model. SPSS 20 program was used to evaluate the data. Descriptive statistical methods (number, percentage), chi-square test, paired t test were used to evaluate the data.
This research; The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the pre-procedural education given to the patients undergoing coronary angiography on the anxiety level and vital signs of the patients.
This study aimed to examine the efficacy of a blended learning programme in enhancing the communication skill competence and self-efficacy of final-year nursing students in conducting clinical handovers.
Hearing impairment in older adults is becoming a common health problem as the population ages. The impact of hearing impairment in older adults includes not only physical function and cognitive performance, but also depression, loneliness and social isolation, as well as having a negative impact on quality of life and financial status. Therefore, an audiological rehabilitation program intervention is recommended. The purposes of this study are to examine the effects of an audiological rehabilitation program (Hear-Talk-Activity audiological rehabilitation program) intervention on communication abilities, depression, loneliness and quality of life outcomes in older adults with hearing impairment. The single-blind, randomized control trial will include older adults aged 65 years or older with hearing impairment and aid user. Participants will be randomized to either intervention groups or control groups.
Implementing capnography into practice for respiratory monitoring during sedation is considered a high priority by leading authorities in Canada and internationally. The Canadian Anesthesiologists' Society's position statement recommends that capnography should be available wherever moderate or deep sedation is used. The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (UK) Standard and Guidance report on Safe Sedation Practice for Healthcare Procedures noted that while capnography is not a mandated practice, providers should consider implementing capnography as a long term goal. These recommendations are in place because sedated patients who are not monitored with capnography have frequent undetected, and therefore untreated, respiratory depression. Of note, though, these guidelines do not provide specific recommendations for how capnography should be implemented for nurse-administered sedation. The aim of this study is to determine if smart alarm guided treatment of respiratory depression using the Integrated Pulmonary Index is an effective way to implement capnography during nurse-administered sedation. The primary outcome is the number of seconds in an alert condition state without an intervention being applied. The IPI is intended to reduce the cognitive burden of synthesizing multiple sources of physiological monitoring input and hence lowering the threshold for triggering intervention by clinicians to support respiration. The primary outcome directly measures this concept by quantifying the time taken for an alert to trigger an intervention. Higher values of the primary outcome will result from either a problem state that should have triggered an intervention but did not, or an 'inappropriate' alert (i.e. an alert that was not important enough to warrant immediate intervention.)
Almost half of the patients diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia develop ARDS and most of these patients are treated in the intensive care unit. In the management of COVID-19 ARDS, prone position is applied to improve physiological parameters by facilitating better distribution of tidal volume and drainage of secretions. It has been reported that awake patients in COVID clinics could not adapt their prone position due to anxiety . Jiang et al (2020) reported that awake patients may not tolerate the prone position and may experience anxiety due to posture habits and discomfort. It was determined that anxiety developed on the second day of hospitalization in the intensive care unit, state anxiety was associated with trait anxiety and pain, and anxiety was low in patients receiving mental health care/treatment . And also not to change position himself of patient in prone position due to care equipment etc it can cause loss of self-control and anxiety. Twelve-sixteen hour prone position recommendation for clinical improvement, positioning difficulties in patients who cannot position themselves may also trigger anxiety in awake patients It has been suggested that music therapy may be effective in reducing anxiety related to weaning from mechanical ventilation in COVID-19 patients. Music therapy intervention in ICU has been tested in sessions of at least 30 minutes, 1-30 days, with options such as western music, classical Chinese music, nature-based music. In the study of Chu and Zhang (2021), it was shown that the recovery time for tomography findings, the number of days of hospital stay and the rates of transfer to the intensive care unit were lower in the patient group who received holistic mode including traditional Chinese medicine, music therapy, and emotional support in COVID-19 patients. Studies evaluating the effectiveness of music therapy alone in the COVID-19 intensive care process could not be reached. It is thought that music therapy applied in the prone position in the COVID-19 intensive care unit will reduce the anxiety of the patients, adapt to the prone position and improve their clinical parameters.
