Effect of Cognitive Therapy on Immunosuppressive Treatment Compliance and Motivation

Experimental group Data collection tools will be applied to the patients in the experimental group before the MBCT intervention. The 60 patients in the experimental group will be divided into six subgroups, each consisting of 10 patients. MBCT will be applied by Expert Clinical Psychologist Aybüke İğdir, who has received special training in the field. There will be a group facilitator among the MBCT trainers. The group facilitator is a psychologist with postgraduate education and experience in MBCT. The MBCT intervention will be applied to each subgroup of the experimental group on different days. During the MBCT intervention, eight consecutive sessions will be held with the themes of "Mindfulness and Autopilot", "Living in Our Mind", "Focusing on the Distracted Mind", "Recognizing Hate", "Allowing", "Thoughts Are Not Real", "How Can I Best Take Care of Myself?" and "Maintaining and Expanding New Learning". The theme of Maintaining and Expanding New Learning includes special techniques that patients can apply for medication compliance. There will be one MBCT session per week and therefore the MBCT program will continue for eight weeks. After the eight-week MBCT program ends, no intervention will be applied to the patients in the experimental group for the next month based on similar studies in the literature and at the end of this one month, in the posttest phase, these patients will be applied the scales once again. Control group Data collection tools will be applied to patients in the control group as part of the pre-test. Patients with questions will be allowed to direct their questions to the researchers. After these questions are answered, no intervention will be made to the control group and patients in the control group will not be contacted at any time for the next three months. After three months, patients in the control group will be invited to the outpatient clinic and the scales will be applied to these patients once more during these outpatient clinic visits to collect post-test data.

Effect of Comedy Therapy on Pain and Anxiety Levels After Ureterorenoscopy

Intervention Group After URS surgery, patients whose condition is stable after coming to the clinic will be given a patient introduction form, numerical rating scale, state-trait anxiety scales as a pre-test. Patients will be shown 10-minute Turkish comedy films prepared by the researchers. After the intervention, numerical rating scale, state-trait anxiety scales will be given as a post-test. Control Group After URS surgery, patients whose condition is stable after coming to the clinic will be given a patient introduction form, numerical rating scale, state-trait anxiety scales as a pre-test. No intervention will be made to control group patients. After a certain waiting period, numerical rating scale, state-trait anxiety scales will be given as a post-test.

Effect of Music on Pain and Comfort Levels After Laparoscopic Abdominal Surgery

As part of the pre-test, the patient introduction form, comfort and pain scales will be applied to the experimental group patients. Music will be played in the patient room 2 hours after the patients are transferred from the post-operative care unit to the clinic, which is the most appropriate time after surgery, when vital signs are stable and clinical compliance is achieved. Music will be played for 20 minutes. As part of the post-test, the comfort and pain scales will be applied to the experimental group patients again. As part of the pre-test, the patient introduction form, comfort and pain scales will be applied to the control group patients. No intervention will be applied to the control group patients and the clinic's routine practices will continue. As part of the post-test, the comfort and pain scales will be applied to the control group patients again.

Post-Fatigue Vibration: Impact on Grip and Reaction Time

This randomized controlled study will be conducted with a minimum of 42 participants who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: control, 50 Hz local vibration, or 100 Hz local vibration.

Prevalence of Hirsutism in Turkey: Data of The Dermatoendocrinology Study Group

Twenty-two provinces of Turkey's seven regions and 26 hospitals from these provinces will be included in the study. The number of samples was specified by the public health specialist on the 2018 census figures. The Turkish population consists of 80,810,525 people according to the data announced by the Turkish Statistical Institute in 2018. In order to determine the prevalence in Turkey, the sample size was calculated with a confidence interval of 99% and error margin of 1%, and the total number of individuals to be screened was designated as 5861. The number of patients to be screened via the clustering method weighted by regions was specified as 1800 for the Marmara Region, 750 for the Aegean Region, 744 for the Mediterranean Region, 568 for the Black Sea Region, 932 for the Central Anatolia Region, 434 for the Eastern Anatolia Region and 633 for the Southeastern Anatolia Region. The provinces that were thought to represent each region were selected via the cluster sampling method. During the study period, female patients aged between 18 and 45, who present to dermatology outpatient clinics, will be examined clinically until the number of patients designated for each study center is reached, and the hirsutism level of the patients diagnosed with hirsutism will be determined by using the modified Ferriman-Gallwey (mFG) scoring system. In this system, hair growth in nine regions (upper lip, chin, chest, upper back, lower back, upper abdomen, lower abdomen, upper arms and thighs) is graded between 0 and 4. And nine regions are scored between 0 (no terminal hairs) and 4 (excessive presence of terminal hairs). The score above 8 is considered hirsutism. The hirsutism family history, body mass index, menstrual cycle pattern, concomitant disease status (diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, thyroid disease), history of medication causing body hair growth, the acne presence and severity, presence and severity of androgenic alopecia, presence of seborrhea, presence and localization of acanthosis nigricans, presence of acrochordon, presence of hidradenitis suppurativa, presence of galactorrhea, presence of virilization symptoms and presence of cushingoid symptoms of all the examined patients will be investigated and recorded.

Effectiveness of Focal Vibration in Shoulder Pathology

The underlying mechanism of focal vibration therapy in individuals with adhesive capsulitis still remains unclear. Considering the physiological mechanism of focal vibration therapy, the effect of focal vibration therapy on pain, function, and resting muscle tone in patients with adhesive capsulitis will be evaluated. There are no studies examining the effect of focal vibration therapy on shoulder muscle tone in individuals with adhesive capsulitis.
