Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of auricle position on body temperature measurements made with tympanic membrane thermometer in adult patients. Methods: The study was conducted with a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and a post-test. A total of 143 patients who fit the inclusion criteria of the study were included in the sample. The research carried out between 1 November - 31 December 2016 in the emergency department. Body temperature measurements were carried out on the patients in the study firstly by not changing the position of the auricle and then repeated after a minute, this time by changing the position of the auricle. Results: The difference between the measurement values found in two different positions was 0.31 0C, and the Bland Altman plot showed that the differences were distributed systematically around the value 0.31. The difference between the lengths of measurements performed on two separate positions was detected to be 1.08 second. During body temperature measurements performed through giving position to auricle, 59.2 % of the patients never felt discomfort. Conclusions: It was found in the comparison of two positions that there was a significant difference between the tympanic membrane thermometer measurements made by positioning the auricle and those without positioning.

A cluster randomized controlled study was carried out in chronic psychiatric wards of a general hospital in central Taiwan. Sixty-eight eligible male individuals admitted to 2 wards were randomly assigned to an experimental and a control group. Participants in the experimental group underwent an oral health promotion program that consisted of biweekly group education sessions, and a 12-week individual behavioral modification for oral hygiene course. The participants in the control group received usual care only. Dental plaque (measured by the Plaque Control Index) was examined by a single dentist before and after the experiment.
