    Effect of giving brochures to ventriculoperitoneal shunted children’s mothers about preventing shunt infections
    (AVES, 2020) Ünver S.; Tütüncüler B.; Özkan Z.K.; Fındık Ü.Y.
    Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of giving oral information and printed informative brochures on information and application levels of mothers with VP shunted children to prevent infections. Material and Methods: A prospective, randomized controlled trial de-sign was conducted. Nine mothers in the study group were given printed informative brochures after a 15-minute oral informative session, whereas nine mothers in the control group were given only oral information. The effectiveness of these interventions was assessed at 15th and 90th days. Results: Mothers in both groups achieved significantly higher information and application level scores at 15th and 90th days when compared to their initial evaluation (p< 0.05). In the study group, 90 days after the informative session, the mothers achieved statistically higher information level scores than the mothers in the control group (U= 8.000, p= 0.019). Conclusion: Giving printed informative brochures is more effective than giving only oral information on mothers’ knowledge about preventing VP shunt infections. Printed informative brochures about preventing VP shunt infections could improve mothers’ level of knowledge in the long term and avoid shunt infections. © 2020 by Pediatric Infectious Diseases and Immunization Society.

    The impact of wearing an abdominal corset to achieve compression on colonoscopy outcomes: A randomised controlled trial
    (MA Healthcare Ltd, 2021) Özkan Z.K.; Findik Ü.Y.; Albayrak D.
    Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of abdominal corset use on colonoscopy outcomes in patients undergoing colonoscopy. Methods: This randomised controlled trial was conducted between March 2019 and January 2020, with the participation of 60 patients who underwent colonoscopy in the endoscopy unit of a university hospital. Half (n=30) of these patients were included in the experimental group and wore an abdominal corset during colonoscopy. Findings: It was determined that there was no statistically significant difference between the groups according to variables, including caecal intubation time (p=0.371), the need for position change in the colonoscopy process (p=0.554), position change in caecum imaging (p=1.000) and manual abdominal compression during the procedure (p=0.091). Conclusions: The results of this study reveal that abdominal corset usage does not provide a significant extra benefit compared with conventional colonoscopy in improving colonoscopy outcomes. © 2021 MA Healthcare Ltd.
