Clinical trials

This study will be conducted as a randomized controlled pre-test post-test study to determine the effects of technology-based complementary feeding training given to mothers during the transition period of babies to complementary feeding on babies' behavior and development and their mothers' anxiety levels.

This prospective observational study aims to evaluate whether upper airway ultrasound measurements can improve the prediction of difficult airway compared with conventional anthropometric assessments. Adult patients undergoing elective procedures requiring airway management will be included. Ultrasound parameters such as tongue thickness, anterior neck soft tissue thickness, and hyomental distance will be measured before airway intervention. Standard clinical predictors (Mallampati score, thyromental distance, neck circumference, etc.) will also be recorded. The primary objective is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound-based measurements in predicting difficult laryngoscopy and intubation. The study seeks to provide evidence supporting the integration of upper airway ultrasound into routine pre-anesthetic airway evaluation.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based intervention on stress levels, psychological resilience, and academic self-efficacy among nursing students in Somalia. Nursing students often experience high levels of stress due to academic demands, clinical training, and challenging social and environmental conditions. Mindfulness-based interventions have been shown to improve mental well-being and coping skills in various student populations, but evidence from low-resource and conflict-affected settings remains limited. In this randomized controlled trial, nursing students will be assigned either to a mindfulness-based intervention group or to a control group receiving no intervention during the study period. The intervention consists of structured mindfulness sessions focusing on breathing awareness, body awareness, emotional regulation, and present-moment attention over a three-week period. Outcomes including perceived stress, psychological resilience, and academic self-efficacy will be measured before and after the intervention using validated self-report instruments. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the understanding of non-pharmacological, low-cost mental health interventions for nursing students in low-resource settings.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of controlled placental cord drainage by opening the clamp at the maternal end after the umbilical cord is cut during birth on the duration of the third stage of labor (departure of the placenta), the amount of blood loss in the third stage, the amount of bleeding in the 2nd hour postpartum, and the development of postpartum complications.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide and can be deadly if not found early. Screening tests like mammograms help find breast cancer early, which improves the chances of successful treatment. However, many women do not take part in regular screenings because of fear, lack of knowledge, or other barriers. This study looks at two ways of teaching women about breast cancer and mammogram screening: traditional health education and a counseling approach called motivational interviewing. Motivational interviewing helps women feel more confident and motivated to get screened by talking about their concerns and encouraging positive decisions. The goal is to see which method better increases women's knowledge about breast cancer, their beliefs about health, their confidence in getting mammograms, and their actual participation in screening programs. The results will help improve how we support women in taking care of their breast health.
