This period is of great importance in terms of protecting the health of both mother and baby, meeting their care needs, and increasing their comfort. During the postpartum period, women experience physiological, psychological, and social changes; hormonal changes, assuming parental roles, changes in family dynamics, and increased responsibilities related to infant care can lead to adjustment difficulties. This can cause problems for the mother in both her own care and infant care.\n\nIn the postpartum period, mothers may experience various health problems such as pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, infections, breastfeeding problems, hemorrhoids, constipation, urinary incontinence, depressive symptoms, and mood swings. Pain, in particular, arises due to uterine contractions, breast engorgement, nipple tenderness, and other complications, negatively affecting the mother's mobility, sleep patterns, social interaction, and quality of life. Furthermore, stress and adjustment problems experienced during the postpartum period can lead to serious psychological problems such as delayed maternal bonding, postpartum blues, postpartum depression, psychosis, and communication problems between couples.\n\nPharmacological and non-pharmacological methods are used in the management of these problems. However, due to the negative effects that pharmacological methods may have during breastfeeding, interest in complementary and alternative medicine practices has increased. Reflexology, aromatherapy, music therapy, acupressure, and Reiki are among these methods.\n\nReiki is an energy therapy method that aims to balance an individual's life energy and support the natural healing process, applied through touch or the placement of hands on specific points. Reiki application is reported to have positive effects on pain, stress, anxiety, sleep quality, and coping skills. Although it is one of the preferred methods for adapting to changes and reducing problems experienced in the postpartum period, studies directly examining the effects of Reiki application on postpartum recovery quality, comfort, and mood are quite limited. Due to its low cost, ease of application, and lack of side effects, Reiki is considered an important complementary care approach that can be used in the postpartum period.\n\nThe aim of this study is to determine the effect of face-to-face Reiki treatment on the quality of postpartum healing, comfort level, and mood in women who have had cesarean deliveries, on days 1, 2, and 7 of the postpartum period.",[75,76,77,36],"Postpartum Period","Reiki Therapy","Mood",[79],"Reiki Therapy, Postpartum Period, Mood, Comfort, Recovery of Function","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-06-12",{"date":83,"type":51},"2026-06-17",{"date":85,"type":21},"2026-06-15",{"date":87,"type":21},"2027-01-01",{"name":89,"class":90},"University of Gaziantep","OTHER",{"id":92,"slug":93,"hasResults":11,"nctId":94,"briefTitle":95,"officialTitle":95,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":96,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":17,"minAge":97,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":98,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":100,"briefSummary":101,"conditions":102,"keywords":104,"overallStatus":80,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":109,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":110,"startDateStruct":112,"completionDateStruct":114,"leadSponsor":116,"locationsCount":118},"100568449","enhancing-the-emergency-department-experience-for-older-adults-study-protocol-for-the-implementation-of-a-comfort-menu-and-cart-100568449","NCT06681376","Enhancing the Emergency Department Experience for Older Adults: Study Protocol for the Implementation of a Comfort Menu and Cart","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* ED attendance at Hospital Sírio-Libanês (HSL), São Paulo, Brazil.\n* Age ≥ 65 years.\n* Capacity to consent and respond to the interview or the presence of a companion capable of doing so.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Decline to participate in the study or use the comfort menu and cart.\n* Absence of a companion able to consent to study participation and provide necessary information for patients with altered mental status or cognitive impairment.\n* Decreased level of consciousness.\n* Hemodynamic instability.\n* Acute respiratory failure.\n* Inability to be contacted by phone for the follow-up interview.","60 Years",{"count":99,"type":21},264,[24],"Introduction: The aging of the population is a global phenomenon, with projections indicating a significant increase in the proportion of individuals aged 60 years and older by 2050. This demographic shift requires adapting emergency department (ED) services to meet the specific demands of older patients, who often present with multiple comorbidities and face challenges such as sensory and cognitive difficulties. EDs, traditionally designed for acute illness and injury management, may not be adequately equipped to meet the unique needs of this vulnerable population. This can result in suboptimal patient experiences, prolonged ED stays, increased hospitalizations, and poorer outcomes.\n\nMethods: This study protocol outlines a before-and-after study to evaluate the impact of implementing a comfort menu and cart on the experience and outcomes of older patients treated in the ED. The study will be conducted in the ED of Hospital Sírio-Libanês (HSL), a tertiary private hospital in São Paulo, Brazil. Patients aged 60 and older who presented to the ED will be eligible for inclusion. Participants will be recruited in two phases: pre-intervention and post-implementation of the comfort menu and cart. Data will be collected through patient and staff interviews, chart reviews, and a 30-day follow-up interview. Patient experience, staff experience, length of hospital stays, hospital costs, ED readmissions, falls, delirium incidence, quality of life, functional status, cognitive performance, and mortality will be assessed.\n\nEthics and dissemination: Ethical approval for this study has been granted by the Institutional Review Board of HSL. All participants, or their legal representatives for those with cognitive impairment, will provide written informed consent before any study procedures are initiated. The consent process has been designed keeping the study hypothesis blind by not revealing the outcomes that will be measured after the comfort cart intervention. The results will be shared with the academic community through peer-reviewed publications and presentations at relevant conferences to inform future clinical practice and research.\n\nExpected Results: A positive impact of implementing the comfort menu and cart in the ED is expected on patient-centered outcomes. Improvements in the experience of older patients and medical and multidisciplinary staff are anticipated, and improvements in other exploratory outcomes, such as length of hospital stay, hospital costs, readmissions, falls, delirium incidence, quality of life, functionality, and cognitive performance, will be explored.",[103,36],"Emergency Department Patient",[105,106,107,108],"comfort cart","patient experience","older adult","emergency department","2026-06-08",{"date":111,"type":51},"2026-06-10",{"date":113,"type":21},"2026-08-01",{"date":115,"type":21},"2027-03-10",{"name":117,"class":90},"Hospital Sirio-Libanes",1,{"id":120,"slug":121,"hasResults":11,"nctId":122,"briefTitle":123,"officialTitle":124,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":125,"healthyVolunteers":16,"sex":17,"minAge":126,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":127,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":129,"briefSummary":130,"conditions":131,"keywords":134,"overallStatus":47,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":141,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":142,"startDateStruct":144,"completionDateStruct":146,"leadSponsor":148,"locationsCount":118},"100639779","effect-of-yoga-and-values-clarification-on-stress-comfort-and-emotional-regulation-in-parents-of-children-with-special-needs-100639779","NCT07628569","Effect of Yoga and Values Clarification on Stress, Comfort, and Emotional Regulation in Parents of Children With Special Needs","The Effect of a Comfort Theory-Based Yoga and Values Clarification Intervention on Emotion Regulation, Comfort, and Stress Levels in Parents of Children With Special Needs","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Being a parent of a child with special needs,\n* Not having received prior yoga training,\n* Not having a physical problem that would prevent them from practicing yoga,\n* Not having communication problems,\n* Speaking Turkish,\n* Not having learning disabilities,\n* Being suitable\u002Fwilling to work in a group.\n\nExclusion Criteria for Parents:\n\n* Having a physical problem that would prevent them from practicing yoga,\n* The parent not being a volunteer,\n* Not demonstrating compatibility with working in a group.","18 Years",{"count":128,"type":21},66,[24],"Parents of children with special needs often experience high levels of stress and difficulties in emotional regulation, which may negatively affect both their well-being and parent-child interactions.
