Filter by:According to the World Health Organization (WHO), by 2021 cardiovascular diseases (CVD) will be a public health problem, among them heart failure (HF), since this is a chronic disease, patients should be competent in their care. Despite the above, according to research conducted in Colombia, 59.7% of people with chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) have a level of care competence considered not optimal; patients report not having sufficient knowledge of the disease or experience feelings of lack of tools for the management of symptoms and the challenges of post-hospitalization. The objective of the research is to determine the effect of the PLAN CUIDARTE on the caregiving competence of people with HF Methodology: Pre-posttest randomized clinical trial, with blinding of the participants, where the intervention "PLAN CUIDARTE" is applied and the initial and subsequent caregiving competence is evaluated in the comparison group and in the intervention group for pretest - posttest and between-group comparisons.

Restless Leg Syndrome, a progressive and recurrent chronic sensorimotor disorder that creates an irresistible urge to move the legs and a feeling of discomfort, is seen in 15.4-26.0% of pregnant women in our country. Restless Leg Syndrome has negative effects on sleep, mood, cognitive health, daily activities and behavior in pregnant women; It can also cause preeclampsia, difficult labor, and cesarean delivery. Therefore, it is important for pregnant women with Restless Leg Syndrome to be treated appropriately. It is recommended that pregnant women use non-pharmacological treatments as they are not risky for fetal health. Kinesio taping and manual lymphatic drainage methods are used non-pharmacologically to support venous-lymphatic drainage and manage pain. These methods are economical, reliable and easy to apply. However, no study has been found in which Kinesio taping or manual lymphatic drainage was applied to a patient group with Restless Leg Syndrome during or outside pregnancy. The aim of this project is to determine the effect of Kinesio taping and manual lymphatic drainage on Restless Legs Syndrome severity, sleep quality and psychological well-being in pregnant women with Restless Legs Syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a web-based nursing intervention aimed at increasing physical activity in people aged 65 years and older with coronary heart disease. This study aims to answer the following questions: 1. What are the needs of older adults living with coronary heart disease in terms of a web-based nursing intervention to help them increase their level of physical activity? 2. What is the acceptability (content, structure, usefulness) and feasibility (recruitment, retention, adherence, fidelity) of a web-based nursing intervention to support older adults living with coronary heart disease as they increase their level of physical activity? 3. What are the preliminary effects of the web-based nursing intervention on the physical activity level and quality of life of older adults living with coronary heart disease? 4. What are the qualitative impacts of the web-based nursing intervention as perceived by older adults on their physical activity level, quality of life, motivation, knowledge and self-efficacy? 5. How can the preliminary effects of a web-based nursing intervention, developed in response to the needs of older adults living with coronary heart disease, be illustrated by its impacts as perceived by older adults post-intervention? A web-based nursing intervention was developed based on the needs of seniors living with coronary heart disease. 30 older adults living with heart disease will take part in the 8-week intervention. The effects of the intervention will be evaluated on the physical activity level, quality of life, knowledge, motivation and self-efficacy of older adults.
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.
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.
This research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study in order to evaluate the effect of virtual reality application on pain and anxiety caused by the procedure during stone crushing process (ESWL) with shock waves.
The intervention involves the identification of 140 patients (70 per group), fed throughout the duration of the study with the two different solutions indicated. The subject will be interviewed by identified and trained personnel in order to collect the information and data required by the study with frequency indicated for the individual evaluation sheets.
