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 tilting a patient's head down during laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery affects the brain monitoring devices used by anesthesiologists. Researchers will observe 60 adult female patients undergoing this surgery, recording their brain activity and o…

This study aims to see if an AI-powered training tool can help nursing students improve their communication and empathy skills when counseling patients about infertility. 96 nursing students will be randomly assigned to either practice with the AI simulation or receive standard c…

This study examines whether using digital storytelling—creating and sharing personal video narratives—helps nursing students learn clinical skills better than traditional methods. Researchers will compare two groups of nursing students to see if the storytelling approach improves…

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 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…
