Filter by:The goal of this randomized controlled study is to evaluation the effect of mobile application-based wound healing course on clinical reasoning skills in nursing student. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does microlearning-based courses have an effect on clinical reasoning skills of nursing students compared to traditional courses? - Does microlearning-based courses have an effect on the retention of knowledge in nursing students compared to traditional courses? Participants will consist of students enrolled in the Surgical Diseases Nursing course in the fall and springs semester of the 2022-2023 academic year in the Department of Nursing at the Faculty of Health Sciences of Karadeniz Technical University. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare experimental group to see if control group.
The purpose of the study was designed leg resistance training combined with breathing approach, and evaluated its effect on wound healing, blood sugar control and quality of life in type 2 diabetic patients with foot ulcers.
Wound is defined by the breach in dermis of the skin. It can be caused by road traffic accidents, tumor excision, chronic illness like diabetes, bed sores in bedridden patients, burns, insects' bites etc. Treatment goals for wound coverage includes earliest debridement, dressings, local antibiotics, limb elevation, fracture fixations and wound coverage. Skin graft functions both as occlusive dressing, as a skin replacement and as a stimulus for healing. Even though the usage of flaps to cover the wounds has been increased recently still skin grafting serves as an easiest and simplest way of covering the wound. However, skin grafting introduces another wound in addition to the existing wound, the donor site wound (DSW). A secondary donor-site wound (DSW) is formed after harvesting split thickness skin graft which adds up with the primary wound to increase the total size of the wounds for the healing process. This donor site wound cause itching, pain and cosmetic embarrassment. That is why the proper and timely healing of the donor site wound is of great importance. Basic management of DSWs includes conventional dressings that provides absorption of bleeding solely.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of compression bandaging with fractional ablative carbon dioxide laser (FACL) compared to compression and standard dressings alone for healing of post-operative wounds of the leg. This is a randomized, SMART design, clinical trial. Approximately 80 participants will be randomized to initially receive compression bandages or standard wound dressings after surgery on the lower leg. After 4 weeks, the group assigned to compression bandages will be further randomized to either continue with the compression bandages only or continue with the compression bandages and also receive (FACL). The study is designed as an 6-month study. This study was a pilot study designed to determine feasibility of these procedure. Subjects currently living in the Chicago metropolitan area and meet inclusion/exclusion criteria will be considered for enrollment.
This study will evaluate the use of free autologous dermal fat grafting (also called free dermal fat autografting) to treat complex craniofacial wounds that have failed standard treatment and to understand how well these grafts work to repair wounds long term. Patients who have undergone free autologous dermal fat grafting to treat complex craniofacial wounds 2-30 years ago will have photographs and small biopsies taken of the area that was grafted.
