This study aims to evaluate the effects of foot baths on chemotherapy-induced fatigue in pediatric oncology patients. Current literature lacks studies assessing this intervention in the pediatric population. Chemotherapy, a common cancer treatment, often results in side effects such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, taste changes, mouth ulcers, and notably, fatigue. Fatigue affects 51-86% of pediatric cancer patients and significantly impacts their quality of life. Addressing fatigue comprehensively is crucial for improving patients' quality of life. Non-pharmacological methods like foot baths have shown promise in reducing chemotherapy-related fatigue. Previous studies with gynecological cancer patients and others have found that warm water foot baths can alleviate fatigue and improve relaxation by reducing sympathetic activity and facilitating oxygen and nutrient delivery to the brain. This randomized controlled trial is designed to scientifically evaluate the efficacy of foot baths in alleviating fatigue in pediatric patients post-chemotherapy.

This randomized controlled trial examined the effect of haptic glove-based virtual reality (VR) training on the aspiration skills and caregiving behaviors of intensive care nurses. A total of 60 nurses were randomly assigned to an experimental group receiving VR simulation supported by haptic gloves or a control group receiving standard mannequin-based training. Data were collected using the Nurse Information Form, Aspiration Skill Checklist, and Caregiving Behavior Scale. While VR training was effective in supporting aspiration skill development, no statistically significant differences were found between groups in total caregiving behavior scores or its subdimensions. These findings suggest that although VR and haptic technologies are valuable for enhancing technical skills, improvements in caregiving behaviors may require longer-term or repeated educational interventions.

Care forms the basis of the nursing profession. Nurses have many roles, duties and responsibilities in the care process. One of these roles is safe drug practices within the scope of its therapeutic/healing role. Safe medication practices are an important component of patient safety, which is one of the most important indicators of quality in health care services. The pediatric patient group is a group at risk for medication errors. The reasons for this situation include the developmental characteristics of the pediatric group, their anatomical differences, their bioavailability, pharmacokinetic properties and pharmacodynamic properties compared to adults, the lack of ready-made forms of pediatric dose drugs, the excess of nurses' care practices in pediatric children, the limited communication ability of the pediatric patient, lack of personnel, medication for the pediatric group. There are deficiencies in application knowledge and skills. Medication errors can lead to fatal situations for children. There are a number of improvements made to prevent this situation. Despite all the improvements, it is seen that nurses continue to experience difficulties in drug preparation and administration, and medication administration is still a significant problem. One of the most important steps in solving this problem is the training on drug administration to be given during undergraduate education. Considering the learning skills and preferences of undergraduate nursing students living in adolescence, it is seen that they have a predisposition to technology, their ability to use it in daily life, and their interests. For this reason, it seems that technology-based applications can be used to help students learn medication practices more willingly, permanently and effectively. Technology and mobile applications; It is a learning method that affects all tactile, visual and kinesthetic areas. Use of technology in education; It develops independent learning skills, increases active learning, and offers different types of learning strategies together. It is planned to examine the effect of the mobile application developed with the planned project on the knowledge and skill level of intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM) and subcutaneous (SC) drug applications, which are among the pediatric drug applications that are frequently mistaken in the literature.

Pregnancy termination is a difficult and painful procedure can be done by medically or uterine curettage. Studies have been conducted to reduce the anxiety of women undergoing pregnancy termination, but there are no publications on topics such as anxiety, pain perception, and pain catastrophizing. Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) has been called "the art and science of personal excellence", "the study of subjective experience". NLP helps us understand the difference between our actions that produce mediocre results or failure and those that require success or excellence. NLP: "How do I do something I do well?", "How can I do it better?", "How can I gain skills that I admire in others? It addresses questions like ". It is important to note that NLP is not limited to observable behavior. Our way of thinking, that is, all experience and it also includes the mental processes that control our actions. By dealing with the entire structure of a person's experience (in fact, their motivation), it tries to shape the thought processes, emotions and beliefs that result in a behavior. It is especially about our communication with ourselves as well as with others. No study was planned on pain and pain perception during pregnancy termination by uterine curettage by teaching the NLP technique to the patients.
NCT06308601
Purpose: This project aimed to examine the effects of laughter yoga, which is accepted as an international nursing initiative, on loneliness, anger and salivary cortisol levels in visually impaired individuals. When the national and international literature was examined, no project was found that measured the results of laughter yoga as an intervention for visually impaired individuals. For this reason, planning an original project in this field aims to contribute to the literature. Thanks to the evidence obtained, laughter yoga, an innovative approach, can be disseminated in institutions and organizations serving visually impaired individuals as an evidence-based practice that can improve the social skills of individuals. Scope and Target Audience: The project will be carried out with visually impaired individuals receiving services in the Disabled Persons Department within the Atatürk Provincial Public Library located in Konak district of Izmir. In this section, services are provided to 250 members who actively use the library and to visually impaired people from all over Turkey. Method and Expected Result: The project was planned in a randomized controlled, pre-test post-test, single-blind follow-up consultancy design. With this initiative, a social rehabilitation environment will be provided for visually impaired individuals by taking an approach based on respect, understanding and awareness. Laughter yoga is expected to reduce the level of anger and loneliness in visually impaired individuals. At the same time, laughter yoga is expected to reduce cortisol levels, which are known to increase when faced with stress factors, and increase serotonin, which is associated with happiness and vitality, and endorphine, known as the body's natural painkiller. With laughter yoga sessions, a social environment will be created where visually impaired individuals will have an active and independent experience. Thanks to the expected evidence, laughter yoga can be popularized both in visually impaired individuals and in individuals with other disabilities. Within the scope of protecting and improving health, laughter yoga can be planned to be carried out as a routine nursing practice in disabled centers. Thus, by creating an environment where visually impaired individuals and nurses come together, a more accessible health service will be provided to individuals with special needs.

Pressure injuries develop due to decreased movement, especially in bedridden individuals receiving home care. In Turkey, the management of pressure injuries is carried out by nurses in acute and long-term care settings, and mostly by caregivers for individuals receiving home care. Studies have shown that individuals providing home care have a significant need for training. Today, digital health technologies are used to facilitate access to healthcare professionals and provide workload and cost efficiency. Telehealth services in these technologies can be provided via telephone or mobile applications. In this context, the aim of the study is to examine the effect of nursing services provided via mobile applications on the management of pressure injuries in individuals receiving home care. The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental type. In the power analysis conducted to calculate the sample size, the sample size was determined as 56, and considering that there may be data losses, 60 people will be included in the study. The "Structured Information Form, Pressure Injury Information Form for Caregivers, Pressure Injury Skill Checklist for Caregivers, and Pressure Injury Follow-up Form" will be used as data collection tools in the study. In this study, it is thought that the nurse's remote monitoring of individuals receiving home care with a mobile application in the management of pressure injuries will contribute to patient safety and care costs.

Obesity, which is the second leading cause of preventable death in the world, affects all the systems in the body and affects many physiological problems, as well as the mental state, body image and quality of life of the individual. For this reason, obese individuals try various treatment methods in order to get rid of obesity, and in cases where these methods fail, they often prefer bariatric surgery. It is very important that patients who will undergo bariatric surgery can adapt to the anatomical changes in their body and shape their lifestyle accordingly. Otherwise, it is inevitable for patients to face various complications after surgery. After bariatric surgery, a structured training program in the preoperative period is of great importance in order for the patient to adapt to the changes in his body, to prevent the development of possible complications, to be affected by the negativities that may occur due to the current change, and to prepare for the new lifestyle. In this context, the main subject of this research is to enable individuals to gain healthy lifestyle behaviors by providing mobile-based training and consultancy services that enable them to easily access the right information at the desired time and place.
