Filter by:The research was carried out as a randomized controlled experimental study in order to examine the effects of the child's pain, fear and parent's satisfaction before and after vascular access with a musical toy-xylophone, which is used as a distraction technique for the preparation of the 3-6 year old child hospitalized in the pediatric clinic.
Pregnancies in women with pre-existing diabetes are considered "high risk" pregnancies, poses daily clinical challenges and in terms of research - a number of unanswered questions. Therefore, the investigators wish to establish a nationwide cohort of pregnancies complicated by pre-existing diabetes - the Danish Diabetes Birth Registry (DDBR2) The DDBR2 registry comprises all types of pre-existing diabetes including T1D, T2D and other types (as MODY), generating a nationwide cohort of mother/partner/children trios with accessible registry-, clinical data and biological biobank samples. This will enable the investigators to use data longitudinally to examine short- and long-term outcomes of pregnancies in women with diabetes.
The aim of the study is to examine the effect of the preoperative education given to the parents of the children who will undergo day surgery on the parents' perception of family-centered care and anxiety. It is a randomized controlled trial. In this parallel group study, intervention group and control group will take place. The research will be carried out in the pediatric surgery service of the Selcuk University Medical Faculty Hospital. A total of 60 parents, including the intervention group (n=30) and the control group (n=30), will be included in the study. Parents to be included in the study will be assigned to intervention and control groups by randomization method. The randomization will be hidden from the researcher conducting the trial until the administration begins. The researcher will be given 60 envelopes and will begin to open the envelopes when he meets the parent. The researcher will learn which group each parent is in just before the application. Data collection tools; information form, state anxiety scale and Family Centered Care Assessment Scale. During the data collection phase, the purpose of the research will be explained to the parents by the researcher, information about the study will be given and consent will be obtained from the parents who agreed to participate in the research through the "Informed Voluntary Consent Form". A brochure prepared in line with the literature and the training given in the hospital will be given to the initiative group and verbal information will be given. On the other hand, only verbal information will be given to the control group, which is done in the hospital routine. The contents of the brochure include Preparation at Home 1 Day Before the Day of Surgery, Preparation at the Hospital on the Day of Surgery, and Home Care After the Surgery. Brochure and information will be given to the intervention group in the polyclinic one day before the surgery. Information Form, State Anxiety Scale and Family Centered Care Evaluation Scale will be filled in the polyclinic. The Information Form will be filled with the information obtained from the parents and the patient file. State Anxiety Scale and Family Centered Care Assessment Scale will be filled during discharge. Data will be analyzed with the IBM SPSS 22 (IBM Corporation, New York, NY) program. Partial eta squared will be calculated for the effect size and the significance level will be accepted as p<0.05.
This pilot study was conceptualised to determine the feasibility of involving parents via facilitated tucking or observing during painful procedures and to measure change in parental stress and infant pain. An additional purpose of this pilot study was to determine the size of the cohort of preterm infants needed for a larger trial, the time, and resources required for recruitment and data collection.
Although the ban on indoor smoking has greatly reduced secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure in public spaces, the home environment is still the primary source of exposure to SHS, particularly in children under the age of five. Although attempts are often made to prevent or reduce children's exposure to SHS, such as education, counseling, and exposure feedback to parents, exposure remains. Although using materials such as brochures, messages, posters and reminders that will minimize the harms such as protecting children from SHS will reduce the exposure, exposure continues in the long term.The aim of this study is to compare the effect of giving exposure feedback to the parents according to the zero tolerance program (SToP) on the urinary cotinine level of the children. In this study with active control group, single-blind (participant), randomized control, stratified block randomization (1:1) will be performed. Totally 58 participants including STOP intervention group (n:29) and the exposure feedback group (n:29), which is the active control group, were planned to be included in the study, which was planned to be conducted between January and September 2023. Cotinine-sensitive dipstick test kits will be used for the primary outcome (urine cotinine). Cotinine-sensitive dipstick test kit is a simple, cost-effective test to determine smoking status. It is an easy-to-read test strip that can be used with either a saliva or a urine sample. Secondary outcomes will be evaluated by information form on exposure to second-hand smoke, an attitude form on exposure to second-hand smoke, and a scale of beliefs towards third-hand smoke. This protocol will demonstrate whether SToP interventions, a sustainable program for children at high risk of secondhand tobacco exposure, are a viable intervention for parents on how to reduce exposure.
It is emphasized in studies that child and parent anxiety that arises in pediatric surgery should be prevented or reduced. According to previous studies, one way to reduce child and parent anxiety in the preoperative period is therapeutic play interventions. This study was planned to compare the effectiveness of two different therapeutic play interventions (bubble breathing play therapy and tell-show-do play therapy) in reducing preoperative anxiety of children and parents who are scheduled for elective surgery.
Infant and Child Monitoring Protocol prepared by the General Directorate of Mother and Child Health and Family Planning of the Ministry of Health regarding the monitoring of postpartum processes in our country. However, there is no separate recommendation for home follow-up and care of mothers and babies who gave birth preterm. In addition, there are deficiencies in the effective conduct of home visits specified in these guides. In addition to the parents' lack of knowledge about the long-term follow-up and care of these babies, the coordination between primary and secondary health care providers and senior health care providers is not at the desired level. In addition to all these, services such as training and consultancy cannot be carried out due to disruptions in many polyclinic services due to the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide. For this reason, there is a need to develop programs for home care and follow-up of preterm infants, who are a sensitive population, in terms of both reducing the patient density in hospitals and reducing the hospital return rates of preterm infants. In this context, the aim of our research is; The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of discharge training based on the Transition Model in parents with preterm infants.H1: In the group in which the interventions based on the Transition Model are applied, the information needs of the parents will be met more compared to the control group. H1: Parent-infant role development will be higher in the group in which interventions based on the Transition Model are applied. H1: The level of coping with stress will be better in the group in which interventions based on the Transition Model are applied. H1: The level of grief will be lower in the group in which interventions based on the Transition Model are applied. H1: The level of postpartum depression will be lower in the group in which interventions based on the Transition Model are applied. H1: Babies in the group in which interventions based on the Transition Model are applied will have fewer hospital admissions, except for the planned outpatient visit
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the knowledge, skills, and motivation of parents regarding management of epileptic seizures, by developing a "Virtual Reality Based Seizure Management Education Program for Parents (VR-ESMEPP). Method: This study is a double-blinded, pretest-posttest, observational randomized controlled study. The administration stage of the study was conducted between September 2018-February 2020 with parents of 91 children who were diagnosed with epilepsy and were being followed in the Pediatric Neurology Outpatient Department of Akdeniz University Hospital. The parents were distributed into groups with simple randomization (VR Group n=45-Control Group n=46). During the preparation stage of the study, data collection tools "Management-of-Epileptic Seizure-Training-Program-Prepared-with-Virtual-Reality-Technology" and "Patient Scenario Regarding Secondary Generalized Tonic-Clonic Epileptic Scenario with Aura" were prepared and integrated into the virtual reality glasses. In the administration stage, the intervention group was administered the pretest, then the training program, and a posttest immediately following the training. The participants were monitored on the 15th day. For the control group, a pretest, routine outpatient clinical practices, and a posttest were carried out; and the participants were monitored on day 15. In both groups, data were obtained with data collection tools that were integrated into the virtual reality glasses. An approval from the Ethics Committee of Akdeniz University, a written permission from the Akdeniz University Hospital, and informed consent from the parents were obtained to conduct the study.

The Parentbot - a Digital healthcare Assistant (PDA) is a mobile application-based psychosocial parenting intervention with integrated chatbot features, intended for couples to use during the perinatal period. It provides parents with multimedia educational materials (text files, audio files and videos), discussion forum, guided mindfulness-based meditation videos, guided reflection and gratitude journals and a chatbot to answer their queries related to perinatal care in real-time. This study aims to: 1. Develop a theory-based perinatal intervention with integrated chatbot features for both first-time and experienced parents 2. Examine the effectiveness of the PDA intervention in improving parenting self-efficacy (primary outcome), stress, depression, anxiety, social support, parent-child bonding and parenting satisfaction (secondary outcomes) among parents during the perinatal period 3. Examine the perceptions of parents from both the intervention and control group after the intervention 4. Collate suggestions for further improvement from the participants and members of the research team The hypotheses of this study are: The PDA intervention group will have significantly higher scores for parenting self-efficacy, social support, parent-child bonding and parenting satisfaction, as well as lower scores for stress, depression and anxiety compared to the control group receiving standard care after the intervention at one-month postpartum (post-test 1) and three-months postpartum (post-test 2).
