Filter by:This study was designed as a prospective, parallel two groups and randomized controlled study with an experimental-control group to evaluate the effect of yoga-based breathing exercise on pain, fatigue, insomnia and self-efficacy in individuals undergoing colorectal cancer surgery. The sample size of the study was conducted with 60 patients, 30 in the control group and 30 in the experimental group, according to the results of a similar study with the G*Power 3.1., 9.7 program, with α = 0.05, 80% power and 0.648 effect, and taking into account possible losses. was planned. Research inclusion criteria; Patients who underwent colorectal cancer surgery for the first time were those who were 18 years of age or older, had a mobile phone suitable for downloading the yoga-based breathing exercise video, used the same type and dose of painkillers, and volunteered to participate in the study. "Personal Information Form", "VAS Pain Scale", "Brief Fatigue Inventory", "Richard Campbell Sleep Scale" and "Health Promotion Strategies Used by Patients Scale" will be used to collect data. Participants assigned to the experimental group will be provided with breathing exercises using a protocol containing Yoga-based breathing exercises. In order to conduct the research, approval will be obtained from KTO Karatay University Non-Drug and Medical Device Research Ethics Committee, ethics committee approval and permission will be obtained from the institution where the research will be conducted. Participation in the study is voluntary and written consent will be obtained from the participants. The data will be evaluated in the IBM SPSS Statistics Standard Concurrent User V 26 (IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, USA) statistical package program. A level of p<0.05 will be considered statistically significant.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if drug Chazhu Xiaozhi decoction works to treat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in adults. It will also learn about the safety of drug Chazhu Xiaozhi decoction. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does drug Chazhu Xiaozhi decoction improve the degree of hepatic steatosis in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease? What medical problems do participants have when taking drug Chazhu Xiaozhi decoction? Researchers will compare drug Chazhu Xiaozhi decoction to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if drug Chazhu Xiaozhi decoction works to treat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Participants will: Take drug Chazhu Xiaozhi decoction or a placebo every day for eight weeks Keep a record of their symptoms and the degree of hepatic steatosis before and after the treatment
The aim of this clinical study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the digital storytelling method in symptom management in children diagnosed with oncology.

The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is there a difference between the anxiety scores of children who applied the Digital Storytelling Method and those who did not? - Is there a difference between the fatigue scores of children who applied the Digital Storytelling Method and those who did not? - Is there a difference between the nausea scores of children who applied the Digital Storytelling Method and those who did not? - Is there a difference between the pain scores of children who applied and did not apply the Digital Storytelling Method? Participants: Complete the first stage data forms. Visit the clinic every 7-15 days for the digital storytelling process, which consists of 4 stages. After the storytelling process is completed, have a process evaluation meeting with the researcher.
The primary goal of this study is to assess in vivo the efficacy of the insoles, in improving venous return in subjects affected by this problem after 14 days of the initial measurements, by self-assessment, filling-in questions regarding Quality of Life, in comparison with a control group. The secondary goal of this study is to assess in vivo the acceptability of the subjects regarding the same medical device, after 14 days of using the medical device, by selfassessment, filling-in subjective evaluation questions.
Currently, aspects related to the effects of anticancer treatments and the quality of life of patients and their needs are still poorly documented at the Rafael Institute. Thus this study will meet a dual objective: (1) the establishment of a registry to collect data on the safety and effectiveness of innovative and expensive anticancer drugs when administered in real life and (2) a measurement quantitative quality of life of patients treated with these drugs.
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a significant occupational health problem for dentists and have been linked to a decline in quality of life, often leading to stress-related illnesses and early retirement. Poor posture, poor movement or imbalances in the neck or shoulders can lead to the three most common pain syndromes in dentistry. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the working position adopted during an endodontic procedure and to determine the perception of symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders in first and second year students of the Master in Advanced Endodontics at the European University of Madrid (UEM), using the standardised Nordic Kuorinka questionnaire supplemented by a form with socio-demographic variables. This study has a descriptive cross-sectional observational design and included 10 students selected by convenience sampling. A video camera was used to record the procedures from three different angles for a maximum of 5 minutes. The information was processed using Microsoft Excel spreadsheet software, and the video recordings were assessed using Rodgers' Muscular Fatigue Analysis (RMFA) and Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA).
An RCT will be set up to compare outcomes between two groups of hand surgery patients. These are: • Emergency hand surgery patients - randomized to either absorbable or non-absorbable suture. The primary outcomes investigated will be: • Infection occurrence The secondary outcomes will be: - Scar appearance at 1 week and 6-8 weeks (assessed from photographs and scar scoring scale) - Wound inflammation as a percentage of wound length at day 7 post surgery. - Patient symptoms at 1 week (assessed from patient questionnaire) - Patient symptoms at 6-8 weeks (assessed from patient questionnaire) - QDASH Score at 1 week (assessed from patient questionnaire) - QDASH score at 6-8 weeks (assessed from patient questionnaire) - Occurrence of other complications (assessed from the above photographs, the above questionnaires and from nurse and doctor led reports of wound breakdown and other complications)
This study aims to examine the effect of olfactory mental imagery on physiological parameters, anxiety and symptoms after cardiovascular surgery. This study was planned to be conducted as a prospective randomized controlled study in the Cardiovascular Surgery service of Istanbul Mehmet Akif Ersoy Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Training and Research Hospital. The universe of the research; It will consist of patients who are hospitalized in the cardiovascular surgery service and who have undergone cardiovascular surgery. The sample will consist of a total of 90 patients hospitalized in the Cardiovascular Surgery service of the same hospital and meeting the inclusion criteria for the study. Patient Diagnosis Form, Physiological Parameters Monitoring Form, State Anxiety Inventory and Cardiac Surgery Symptom Inventory will be used to collect data. Data will be collected on days 1, 2, 3 and 4 after surgery. In the study, patients will be divided into two groups: intervention (n = 45) and control (n = 45). The intervention group will perform breathing exercises with the olfactory mental imagery technique.
This study determined the effect of dietary education given to hemodialysis patients on dietary treatment and symptoms.
The primary goal of this study is to assess in vivo the efficacy of the insoles in improving venous return in subjects affected by this problem after 14 days of medical device use, by self-assessment, filling-in questions regarding Quality of Life, in comparison to the baseline. The secondary goals of this study are (1) to assess in vivo the perception of subjects about the rapid relief felt after 7 days of using the same medical device, by self-assessment, filling-in three subjective evaluation questions, and (2) to assess in vivo the usability of the subjects regarding the same medical device after 14 days of its use, by self-assessment, filling-in subjective evaluation questions.
