Öğe Complementary and alternative theraphy methods used in the management of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting(Kare Publ, 2015) Arslan, Muzeyyen; Ozdemir, LeylaPatients with cancer apply for complementary medicine methods for the ineliminable symptoms such as nausea-vomiting. Complementary and alternative medicine methods administered by patients in whom chemotherapy induced nausea vomiting developed were explained in this study. The primary complementary and alternative medicine methods that cancer patients frequently use were herbal products, relaxation, hypnosis, acupuncture, acupressure, yoga, meditation, massage, music, reflexology, cryotherapy, and aromatherapy. Nurses need to be knowledgeable about these practices in order to achieve their goal, prevent harmful effects, and abuse of patients. Nurses were expected to develop their practice regarding the use of complementary therapies, determine effective strategies, guide patient to use complementary methods based on evidence, and direct patients/healthy individuals to apply complementary therapies effectively and correctly.Öğe Effects of multimedia nursing education on disease-related depression and anxiety in patients staying in a coronary intensive care unit(W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2016) Demircelik, Muhammed Bora; Cakmak, Muzaffer; Nazli, Yunus; Sentepe, Esra; Yigit, Derya; Keklik, Mevlude; Arslan, MuzeyyenAim: We evaluated the effectiveness of an accessibility-enhanced multimedia informational educational program in reducing depression and anxiety increasing satisfaction with the information and materials received by patients in coronary care unit. Methods: We selected 100 patients from among the patients who stayed at or who underwent surgery at one of two ICUs for any reason who satisfied the eligibility criteria, and agreed to participate in the research. The participants were included in the control or experimental group by random selection. The patients completed the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale during ICU admission and 1 week after hospital discharge. Results: The difference in HADSA score was significantly greater in patients who received education than in patients who did not receive multimedia nursing education (42 +/- 0.58 vs. 0.6 +/- 0.42; p < .01). Additionally, the difference in HADSD score was significantly greater in patients who received multimedia nursing education (2.2 +/- 0.53 vs. 0.64 +/- 0.46; p < .01). Conclusion: This study showed that anxiety and depression associated with hospital can be reduced with multimedia nursing education. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.

Methods: Students studying dialysis department at Turgut Ozal University (n=70) and healthcare personnel working at eight Dialysis Centers located in the center of Ankara (n=83) were recruited. Data was collected from personal information forms and Healthy Life Style Behaviours (HLSB)-II scale. Data were analysed Student's t test, Man Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis Test and Pearson correlation analysis; p < 0.05 or p < 0.01 were considered statistically significant. Findings: The majority (n=52; 74.3%) of the students participating the research were female, with an average age of 22.09 +/- 2.17 years and 55.7% (n=39) were in 2nd year. Similarly, the majority of the healthcare personnel were female (n=73; 88%) with an average of age of 35.37 +/- 8.29 years and 30.1% had a Bachelor's degree. Total HLSB II point of the students' was 128.06 +/- 22.00 and health responsibility, one of scale sub-scores, was significantly higher in female than male students (p<0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference between smoking, age and scale sub-dimensions (p>0.05). Total HLSB II point of the healthcare personnel was 115.61 +/- 14.26, and physical activity, one of scale sub-scores, was significantly lower in females compared to males (p<0.01). Conclusion: It was determined that total HLSB II point of the students is medium and significantly higher compared with healthcare personnel. Continuing education for protecting and improving health should be provided for healthcare personnel.Öğe HEART RATE VARIABILITY DIFFERS BETWEEN RIGHT- AND LEFT-HANDED INDIVIDUALS(Ammons Scientific, Ltd, 2014) Yuksel, Ramazan; Arslan, Muzeyyen; Dane, SenolPrevious studies reported reduced longevity in left-handers with the suggestion that it may be associated with different heart diseases. Therefore, differences in heart rate variability (HRV), an index of autonomic cardiac activity, were examined for right-and left-handed individuals. 120 healthy young university students (75 women, 45 men; M age = 20.4 yr., SD = 1.5) volunteered. Handedness was assessed with the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory and HRV was measured via electrocardiography. The results suggest that the left-handers' HRV was significantly different from that of right-handers on several parameters. The atypical cerebral organization of left-handers may be related to an imbalanced autonomic system that results in higher frequencies of heart irregularities.Öğe Moving Dry Cupping Therapy Reduces Upper Shoulder and Neck Pain in Office Workers(Canadian Soc Clinical Investigation, 2015) Arslan, Muzeyyen; Yaman, Gulnur; Ilhan, Esra; Alemdag, Murat; Bahar, Arzu; Dane, SenolPurpose: The effectiveness of active dry cupping of the upper shoulder and neck to alleviate pain caused by office workers will be investigated. Methods: This randomized, parallel-group trial compared the effectiveness and safety of dry moving cupping therapy for office workers whose neck pain had persisted at least 5 weeks. Those randomized to cupping received up to 10 dry moving cupping therapy sessions over a 5 week period. The study was completed with 40 healthy women subjects who worked at one univeristy in Turkey, with 20 as control and 20 as the study group. Results: Participants mean score of pain on neck was 5.55 (SD:0.57) for pre-test and 2.7 (SD:0.27) for post-test. The decrease of score of pain between pre- and post-test was statistically significant (t=10.14, p=0.002). In the control group there was no significant change in pain score in the statistical significant (t=0.326, p=0.748). Conclusions: Cupping therapy is a non-invasive and harmless therapeutic application and it can be confidently used to reduce the upper shoulder and neck pain in office. It should be considered for all musculoskeletal pain conditions as a complementto medical treatment.Öğe Oral Intake of Ginger for Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting Among Women With Breast Cancer(Oncology Nursing Soc, 2015) Arslan, Muzeyyen; Ozdemir, LeylaBackground: Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is among the most common and distressing symptoms experienced by patients receiving cancer treatment. Nurses play a substantial role in the prevention and management of CINV. Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) is often advocated as beneficial for nausea and vomiting. Whether the herb is truly efficacious for this condition is, however, still a matter of debate. Objectives: This experimental randomized, controlled trial was done to assess the effect of ginger on chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting. Methods: All patients in the study (N = 60) received standard antiemetic drugs. The patients in the study group (n = 30) also received oral ginger for the first three days of the chemotherapy cycle. No intervention was performed in the control group (n = 30) except for the routine antiemetic treatment. Nausea severity and the number of vomiting and retching episodes were measured four times each day for the first five days of the chemotherapy cycle in the patient diary. Nausea severity was evaluated using a numeric scale ranging from 0 (no nausea) to 10 (very severe nausea). Findings: The researchers analyzed the five-day mean score of nausea severity and the number of vomiting and retching episodes. Based on this comparison, nausea severity and the number of vomiting episodes were significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group (p > 0.05). However, the change in the number of retching episodes between the intervention and control groups was not statistically significant (p > 0.05).Öğe Reflexological Therapy Induces a State of Balance in Autonomic Nervous System(Canadian Soc Clinical Investigation, 2015) Isik, Bunyamin; Aydin, Duygu; Arslan, Muzeyyen; Dane, SenolPurpose: Reflexology activate all body systems physically, mentally and emotionally by relieving pain and relaxing the body, in a manner similar to acupuncture and cupping therapies. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of reflexological therapy on heart rate variability (HRV) parameters in a healthy population. Methods: Participants were twenty-six healthy subjects (8 women, 18 men, median age=32.77 years, SD=8.04). All reflexology procedures were applied by a reflexology practitioner. The reflexology practitioner used thumbs and fingers to apply appropriate pressure to reflexology points, especially the heart point in both feet. The recording ECG was applied 1 hour before and 1 hour after reflexological therapy. Subjects rested for 10 minutes without recording ECG in order to stabilize autonomic parameters. The digital signals were then transferred to a laptop and analyzed using LabChart (R) software (MLS310/7 HRV Module). Results: Almost all HRV parameters increased and heart (pulse) rate and LF/HF ratio decreased after reflexological therapy compared with before reflexological therapy in healthy persons. Conclusions: These results indicate for the first time in humans that reflexology might induce a state of balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic systems and might be helpful to prevent possible cardiac arrhythmias. Therefore, reflexology may be accepted as a complementary therapy method for many cardiac problems, especially tachycardia and other cardiac arrhythmias.Öğe Right-sided lateralization of skin temperature in healthy young persons(Canadian Soc Clinical Investigation, 2016) Demirel, Havva; Bahar, Arzu; Gokgoz, Nurcan; Arslan, Muzeyyen; Dane, SenolPurpose: Previous studies reported a peripheral immune asymmetry and lateralization of different paired organ cancers. Because of the close relationship of immune system with body temperature, the aim of the study was to test the possible lateralization of skin temperature. Materials and Methods: Four hundred sixty three healthy subjects (325 women, 138 men) with an average age of 23.62 years (SD = 8.65) participated in this study. All skin temperature measurements were done 8:00-9:00 a.m. Skin temperature was assessed for three different points in skin: axillary, thumb and external auditory. Results: Skin temperature was statistically significantly higher on the right side of the body than on the left side, when measured by axillary and thumb temperatures. But there was no statistically significant difference in external auditory temperature. Conclusion: The asymmetry of skin temperature may result from the peripheral immune asymmetry or the asymmetric lymph node distribution.Öğe Simulation Training for Nursing Students for Lung and Cardiac Auscultation(Canadian Soc Clinical Investigation, 2015) Arslan, Muzeyyen; Altun, Sibel; Basal, Gozde; Dede, Kubra; Demircelik, Muhammet B.; Canbal, Metin; Cebeci, SevsenPurpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of simulation training in nursing students on the skill of lungs and cardiac auscultation. Methods: The majority (n=70; 85%) of sophomore students attending the Turgut Ozal University, School of Nursing enrolled in the study. Students were divided into two groups: intervention (simulation training) and control (tradition training methods). Stratified sampling method, according to students' grade point averages (GPA), was used to provide homogeneous distribution of experimental and control groups. Survey forms and auscultation skill control lists were designed by the researchers and were used as knowledge collection tools. Results: The average age of the students was 20.5 (min 19, max 34) years and average of these students' grades was 2.5 (min 1.65, max.3.83) points out of 4.0. Knowledge and skill scores for lung and cardiac auscultation were evaluated before and after the simulator training period for both intervention and control groups. Cardiac-lung auscultation knowledge scores improved statistically significantly in both groups (p<0.05). Skill scores increased in both groups immediately after the simulator training period and two months later. No statistical difference was observed in the skill scores (p>0.05) Conclusions: Simulation training contributes to nursing students' education in terms of development of their skills.Öğe The effect of traditional wet cupping on shoulder pain and neck pain: A pilot study(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2016) Arslan, Muzeyyen; Gokgoz, Nurcan; Dane, SenolObjectives: Wet cupping therapy (WCT) is a traditional complementary method recommended to decrease the symptoms of a lot of diseases and used in the treatment of pain syndromes. In this pilot study, the possible effects of wet cupping therapy on nonspecific neck and upper shoulder pain were investigated. Methods: Sixty one eligible volunteer participants with nonspecific neck and upper shoulder pain for at least 3 months were allocated. The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) was used to assess pain scores. Pain scores were recorded before and after wet cupping therapy. Results: The mean scores of neck pain in study group were 7.02 (SD = 1.8) before and 3.70 (SD = 2.2) after cupping therapy. The decrease of pain scores between pre- and post-test was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Discussion: It can be stated that WCT has potential therapeutic effect in nonspecific neck and upper shoulder pain. Future full-scale randomized controlled trials will be needed to provide firm evidence of the effectiveness of this intervention. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

The current studyaimed to investigate the possible useful effects of cupping therapy on cardiac rhythm in terms of heart rate variability (HRV). Materials and methods: Forty healthy participants were included. Classic wet cupping therapy was applied on five points of the back. Recording electrocardiography (to determine HRV) was applied 1 hour before and 1 hour after cupping therapy. Results: All HRV parameters increased after cupping therapy compared with before cupping therapy in healthy persons. Conclusions: These results indicate for the first time in humans that cupping might be cardioprotective. In this study, cupping therapy restored sympathovagal imbalances by stimulating the peripheral nervous system.Öğe Wet-cupping removes oxidants and decreases oxidative stress(Churchill Livingstone, 2014) Tagil, Suleyman Murat; Celik, Huseyin Tugrul; Ciftci, Sefa; Kazanci, Fatmanur Hacievliyagil; Arslan, Muzeyyen; Erdamar, Nazan; Kesik, YunusObjectives: Wet-cupping therapy is one of the oldest known medical techniques. Although it is widely used in various conditions such as acute \ chronic inflammation, infectious diseases, and immune system disorders, its mechanism of action is not fully known. In this study, we investigated the oxidative status as the first step to elucidate possible mechanisms of action of wet cupping. Material and methods: Wet cupping therapy is implemented to 31 healthy volunteers. Venous blood samples and Wet cupping blood samples were taken concurrently. Serum nitricoxide, malondialdehyde levels and activity of superoxide dismutase and myeloperoxidase were measured spectrophotometrically. Results: Wet cupping blood had higher activity of myeloperoxidase, lower activity of superoxide dismutase, higher levels of malondialdehyde and nitricoxide compared to the venous blood. Conclusion: Wet cupping removes oxidants and decreases oxidative stress. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
