Hancı, Deniz; Çelik, Cem; Altun, Hüseyin; Uyar, Yavuz
Objective: To measure the success of the fascia lata-fat island graft technique in septal perforation repair as measured by nasal endoscopic examination. Background: This study presents the results of using fascia lata-fat island, a different graft technique, for the repair of septal perforations, offering an alternative to this challenging procedure. Methods: This retrospective study assesses nasal septal perforation repair using the fascia lata-fat island graft technique performed by a single surgeon. Inclusion criteria involved completing 12-month follow-ups within a 3-year review period. Success rates were calculated and evaluated alongside patient characteristics. Results: The median (range) age of the 25 patients included in the study was 34 (25-45) years and 72.0% were men. The septal perforation size of all patients was >2 cm and the etiological cause in all of them was previous septal surgery. All patients were followed for 12 months. The perforation was completely closed in 23 of 25 patients (92%). Conclusion: Using a different graft with an open rhinoplasty approach, we achieved a high success rate in patients with large septal perforations, followed for 1 month with nasal stenting and an average follow-up duration of 12 months.

Ekici, Nuket; Özkan, Filiz Süzer
Objective: In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of white noise on anxiety levels and breastfeeding success of primipara mothers having vaginal delivery. Design: The research was conducted using a randomized controlled experimental design. Setting: The research was conducted at a public hospital located in western Turkey. Participants: Sixty primipara mothers, who were between 37 and 42 weeks of gestation, who had a vaginal delivery, and who gave birth to a healthy newborn weighing 2,500-4,000 g, were included in the study as participants. Interventions: · The mothers and their babies in the study group (30) were made to listen to white noise with a CD player during breastfeeding in the first hour after delivery and 24 hours after delivery. Measurements: Measurements were performed before, during, and after breastfeeding. A descriptive information form, the State Anxiety Inventory (STAI) Scale, and the "LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnostic and Evaluation Scale" were applied to the mothers by the researcher and the observer. In this way, breastfeeding success and anxiety levels were measured. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the study group listening to white noise and the control group in terms of the mean STAI-I, observation 2, and observation 4 scores (p < 0.001). Also, it was found that the mean LATCH, observation 1, and observation 2 scores in the control group were significantly lower than the mean LATCH, observation 1, and observation 2 scores in the study group (p < 0.001). Conclusions: As a result of the research, it was determined that white noise was an effective method in increasing breastfeeding success and reducing anxiety levels. In this direction, white noise can be used by health care professionals as a supportive method for breastfeeding.

İncele - MakaleYalnız künye2024Scopus SJRQ2Effect of Prewarming on Postoperative Hypothermia, Vital Signs, and Thermal Comfort: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Akpolat, Refiye; Arslan, Sevban
This study aimed to determine the effects of preoperative active and passive warming on postoperative hypothermia, vital signs, and perception of thermal comfort in patients scheduled to undergo elective open abdominal surgery. This was a randomized controlled study. The study sample comprised 90 patients (30 in the active warming group, 30 in the passive warming group, and 30 in the control group) who agreed to participate and met the research criteria. According to the comparison of patients’ vital signs, a statistically significant difference was observed in terms of patients’ preoperative body temperature values (v2 = 56.959; p = 0.000). A comparison of the patients’ postoperative thermal comfort perception scores yielded a statistically significant difference (v2 = 39.693; p = 0.000). Postoperative comfort scores in the active warming group were significantly higher than those in the passive warming and control groups. In conclusion, warming methods are effective in preventing undesirable postoperative hypothermia. The time to reach normothermia after surgery was shorter, vital signs were at a desirable level, and thermal comfort perceptions were higher in patients who were prewarmed.
