The effect of cold application on episiotomy pain: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
No full textAims and Objectives To evaluate the effectiveness of cold application methods in reducing postpartum episiotomy pain. Background Many women suffer from pain after giving birth due to an episiotomy. This prolonged pain affects their daily lives as they recover. Various methods can help alleviate this pain; however, the effects of cold application specifically are still under discussion. Design Systematic review and meta-analysis were used. Methods In this review, we investigated studies from the CINAHL, PubMed, Google Scholar and Science Direct databases that met PICOS inclusion criteria. We also assessed the studies' methodological quality with the JADAD and JBI checklists. This study was performed based on the Guidelines of Systematic Reporting of Examination presented in the PRISMA checklist (Appendix S1). The search protocol has been registered at the PROSPERO International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews. Results A total of seven published studies including 700 total participants were included in this review. Various cold application methods (cold gel pack/pad, crushed ice gel pad, ice pack) significantly reduced the pain after an episiotomy. Ice packs in particular did not significantly differ from lavender oil and acupressure in reducing pain after an episiotomy. Conclusions Cold application methods can be an effective, non-pharmacological midwifery and nursing intervention to reduce pain after an episiotomy. Relevance to clinical practice The use of cold application methods to reduce pain after episiotomy may reduce the need for pharmacological medication in women due to the reduction in pain in the perineum

The effectiveness of nurses’ psychosocial interventions for sensory deprivation in intensive care patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis
No full textObjective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness of nurses’ psychosocial interventions for addressing sensory deprivation in intensive care units (ICUs). Materials and methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, CİNAHL, Embase, Cochrane Library, and YÖK Thesis Center databases was conducted from August 2023 to May 2024, without any temporal restrictions. In addition, a physical search was made in the university library for grey literature. Results: The study revealed that nurses’ psychosocial interventions significantly improved patients’ level of consciousness (SMD = 1.042, %95 CI = 0.716 to 1.369; Z = 6.25; p <.05) and sleep quality in ICUs (SMD=1.21, 95% CI= 0.232 to 1.810; Z = 2.49; p <.05). The effectiveness of psychosocial interventions varied based on the type of intervention, patient age, ICU type, patient group, and intervention duration. Notably, auditory stimuli and aromatherapy demonstrated particularly high effect sizes, significantly enhancing patients’ levels of consciousness and sleep quality. Conclusion: In conclusion, psychosocial interventions aimed at reducing sensory deprivation in intensive care units exert beneficial effects on individuals, notably enhancing their level of consciousness and improving sleep quality. © The Author(s) 2024
Examination of the work of Mehmet Vecihi's Sevda-yı Masumane
No full textEdebi yazının farklı biçimlerde meydana gelmesi söylem alanlarının genişlemesine, faklı formlarla duygu ve düşüncelerin yaratımına imkân verir. Çok çeşitlilik arz eden edebi türler sanatkârların tüm canlı ve cansız varlıkları evrende konumlandırmasında yardımcı olur. Bir araç niteliği gören mektup türü ve tekniği ifade biçimlerine başka bir boyut kazandırır. Mektup hikâyenin Türk edebiyatında modern anlamda ilk örnekleri Tanzimat devri ile birlikte görülür. Mektup hikâye nesir türündeki metinlerde hem bütünlüklü bir yapıda hem de metnin içinde müstakil bir şekilde yer alarak günümüze kadar ulaşır. Mektup hikâye formunda kaleme aldığı Sevda-yı Masumane adlı eseriyle Servet-i Fünun dönemi yazarlarından olan Mehmet Vecihi yazdığı hikâye ve romanlarla devrinin tanınmış sanatkârlarındandır. Yazarın meydana getirdiği eserlerin niceliksel fazlalığına rağmen Latin harflerine aktarılmaması nedeniyle günümüzde bilinirliği azdır. Dolayısıyla Mehmet Vecihi'nin eserlerinden biri olan Sevda-yı Masumane mektup hikâyesini günümüz Türkçesine aktarmak, edebiyat dünyasındaki yerini belirlemek ve yazarın edebi yönünün izlerini sürmek önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışma, Türk edebiyatı sahasında daha önce üzerinde hiç durulmamış olması bakımından tercih sebebi sayılan Sevda-yı Masumane adlı eserin gün yüzüne çıkarılmasını ve yapı-tema düzleminde irdelenerek bundan sonraki çalışmalara kaynak teşkil etmesini amaçlamaktadır. Anahtar Sözcükler: Mektup hikâye, Mehmet Vecihi, Sevda-yı Masumane, Yapı ve İzlekThe emergence of literary texts in different forms enables the expansion of the fields of discourse and the creation of feelings and thoughts with different forms. A wide variety of literary genres help artists to position all living and non-living beings in the universe. The letter type and technique, which is seen as a tool, adds another dimension to the forms of expression. The first modern examples of the letter-story in Turkish literature are seen in the Tanzimat period and they survive in prose type texts both in a holistic structure and independently in the text. Mehmet Vecihi, one of the writers of the Servet-i Fünun period with his work called Sevda-yı Masumane, which is written in the form of a letter-story, is one of the well-known artists of his era with his stories and novels. Despite the quantitative excess of the works produced by the author, they are not known today because not transferred to Latin letters. Therefore, it is important to transfer the story of Sevda-yı Masumane, which is one of the works of Mehmet Vecihi, into contemporary Turkish literature, to determine its place in the world of literature and to trace the literary aspect of the author. This study aims to unearth the work called Sevda-yı Masumane, which is considered as a reason for preference in the field of Turkish literature, since it has never been emphasized before, and to be a source for future studies by examining it on the basis of structure-theme.

“Pure Youth” in Turkish Folk Songs
No full textTürküler halkın içinde bulunduğu duygu ve durumları anlatan hece ölçüsü ile yazılıp halk ezgileri ile seslendirilen müzik türüdür. Türkülerde aşk, sevda, ayrılık, ölüm, gurbet, hastalık, kahramanlık gibi çok farklı konular işlenmektedir. Hayatın her anını kapsayan her durum türkülerde yer alır. Bu bağlamda, kültürel birikimi içinde barındıran türkülerin incelenmesi aslında bir toplumun yaşamının araştırılmasıdır. Bu çalışma, TRT Müzik Daire Başkanlığı THM Arşivi’nde körpe kelimesinin taranmasıyla yapılmış bir doküman inceleme çalışmasıdır. Çalışmada hem gerçek anlamda yavru hayvanlar ve taze bitkiler için kullanılan hem de gerçek anlamın yanında fiziksel büyüse bile olgunlaşmasını tamamlamamış gençler için de kullanılan “körpe” sözcüğü seçilmiş ve türkülerde körpe sözcüğünün hangi bağlamlarda geçtiği ve nasıl ele alındığı incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla belirlenen türküler, alfabetik sıraya göre incelemeye tabi tutulmuştur. Belirlenen türküler usullerine göre; kırık hava ve uzun hava türküleri olarak ayrılmış ve tablolar hazırlanmıştır. Tablolarda her türkü için repertuar numarası, incelenme ve derlenme tarihi, yöre, kaynak kişi, derleyen ve notaya alan bilgileri verilmiştir. Bu tasnifleme işinden sonra da türküler tek tek sözleri ile ele alınarak körpe kelimesinin türküdeki bağlam ve anlamı değerlendirilmiştir.Folk songs are a type of music that is written with syllabic meter and played and sung with folk melodies, describing the emotions and situations of the people. Many different topics such as love, infatuation, separation, death, homelessness, illness, heroism are covered in folk songs. Every situation that covers every moment of life takes place in folk songs. In this context, the study of folk songs that contain cultural accumulation is actually the study of the life of a society. This study is a document analysis study made by scanning the word "körpe" in the Turkish Folk Music Archive of the TRT Music Department. In the study, the word "körpe", which is used both for baby animals and fresh plants in real terms, and for young people who have not completed their physical growth even though they have grown physically, was chosen and the context in which the word young is used in folk songs and how it is handled is examined. The folk songs determined for this purpose were examined in alphabetical order. According to the determined folk songs methods; “kırık hava” and “uzun hava” songs were separated and tables were prepared. In the tables, the repertoire number, the date of examination and compilation, the region, the source person, the compiler and the note taker are given for each folk song. After this classification work, the folk songs were handled one by one with their words, and the context and meaning of the expression "körpe" in the folk song was evaluated

No full textThe effect of nonpharmacological interventions applied by nurses to intensive care patients on the duration of delirium: a meta-analysis study
No full textObjective: It was aimed to determine the effect level of nonpharmacological methods applied by nurses to patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit on the duration of delirium. Materials and methods: For this study, relevant studies were accessed by searching in July–October 2022. After the necessary exclusions were made, 14 studies were included in the study. The total sample size of the studies was 1123. Results: According to the results, nonpharmacological interventions applied by nurses to intensive care patients were found to reduce the duration of delirium (SMD: − 0.625, 95% CI: − 1.1040–0.210; Z = − 2.950, p = 0.003, I 2 = 93.119%). The country of the study (SMD: − 0.047, p = 0.001) and the types of nonpharmacological interventions used (SMD: − 0.062, p = 0.000) influenced the effect size of modulators on the duration of delirium in ICU patients. Conclusion: Nonpharmacological interventions applied by nurses, who have significant responsibilities in the protection and promotion of health, were found to reduce the duration of delirium in intensive care patients. This study shows that nurses, one of the main components of the multidisciplinary team in intensive care, are successful when they apply nonpharmacological interventions well. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland.PMID: 3762445

Investigation of perceived parental attitude in children exposed to sexual abuse: A case-control study
No full textBackground: The enduring impact of children being subjected to sexual abuse is characterized by lasting traumatic effects. Aims: This study aims to assess the influence of perceived parental attitudes on the incidence of sexual abuse in children who have experienced such abuse, comparing them with a control group. Methods: The research took place at the Child Advocacy Center (CAC) of a hospital in northern Turkey and in the pediatric outpatient clinics of the same institution. The study evaluated 101 children who were exposed to sexual abuse and 100 children who were not. Data collection took place between November 2022 and August 2023. The study employed a ‘Descriptive Information Form’ and the ‘Parental Attitude Scale’ for both case and control groups. The t-test for independent samples, descriptive statistics, and logistic regression analysis were used for data analysis. Results: Analysis of scores from the Parental Attitude Scale revealed significantly lower mean scores in acceptance-involvement and strictness-supervision in the case group (p <.05). The mean scores for ‘acceptance-involvement’ (X¯ = 22.82 ± 6.26, X¯ = 25.71 ± 3.89) were highest in the case and control groups. Neglectful attitude (38.6%) was more prevalent in the case group, while the control group exhibited a higher frequency of democratic attitude (37%). In terms of predictors, acceptance-involvement (OR = 1.091, p =.005) and maternal employment (OR = 4.410, p <.001) were identified as the most significant predictors of exposed to sexual abuse. The study’s Cronbach’s alpha value for the scale was α =.743. Conclusion: The study’s findings on parental attitudes suggest a potential connection between children’s exposure to sexual abuse and inadequate parental acceptance, involvement, supervision, and control. © The Author(s) 2024
