This study compares two methods for placing epidural catheters (thin tubes for pain relief) during surgery in patients whose spinal bones are difficult to feel by touch. Researchers will test whether using an ultrasound machine to guide the needle is better than using only touch …

This study aims to see if a new approach called 'hypnobreastfeeding' helps first-time mothers more than traditional education. Hypnobreastfeeding uses relaxation, guided imagery, and breathing techniques to build confidence and reduce stress about breastfeeding. Researchers will …

This study is testing if using a special brain-wave monitor during surgery helps reduce agitation when children wake up from anesthesia. Researchers will compare 80 healthy children aged 6-12 who have the monitor used to those who do not. The goal is to see if better monitoring o…

This study aims to see if online education and breathing-focused yoga can help first-time mothers feel less anxious and more confident about breastfeeding. Researchers will compare three groups: one gets education plus yoga, one gets education only, and one receives standard care…

This study is testing if a simple breathing treatment given to children before tonsil or adenoid surgery can help prevent coughing and breathing problems after the operation. Researchers will compare two different mists (lidocaine and a strong saltwater solution) to see which one…

This study aims to see if two simple, drug-free methods—watching cartoons and receiving foot reflexology (a type of massage)—can help children feel less pain, nausea, and anxiety after an operation. It will involve 105 children between 4 and 6 years old who are having planned sur…

This study aims to understand how lying face down (prone) during spinal surgery affects a patient's oxygen levels, breathing, and heart function. Researchers will monitor 50 adults undergoing this type of surgery to compare vital signs while lying on their back versus their stoma…

This study aims to see if using digital storytelling helps nursing students learn better. Researchers will compare two groups of students to test if this teaching method improves their knowledge, skills, and clinical reasoning. The goal is to find better ways to train future nurs…

This study aims to understand if placing patients in a head-down position during laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery affects the brain monitors anesthesiologists use. Researchers will observe 60 adult female patients to see if this common surgical position changes the brain activit…

This study aims to see if an AI-powered training tool can help nursing students learn how to communicate better and show more empathy when counseling people about infertility. About 96 nursing students will be randomly assigned to either use the AI coaching tool or receive standa…

This study aims to see if a new virtual reality training tool with touch feedback helps nursing students learn clinical skills and make decisions better than standard training. Researchers will compare two groups of 100 first-time nursing students—one using the VR tool and one us…
