    The Effect of Acupressure on Uremic Pruritus in Hemodialysis Patients: A Meta-Analysis Study
    (Mardin Artuklu University, 2023) Şahan, Seda; Güler, Sevil
    Introduction: The purpose of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis to investigate the efficacy of acupressure on uremic pruritus in hemodialysis patients. Methods: The literature was searched between September and December 2022. A literature search was carried out in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Ovid and EBSCO databases using the keywords "Hemodialysis”, "acupressure”, "pruritus", and their combinations. The Joanna Briggs Institute’s (JBI) quality assessment scale was employed in the study. Statistical package program for meta-analysis, Comprehensive Meta-Analysis was used. The standardized mean difference (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated. The I2 value(I2=84.7) was utilized to determine the heterogeneity between the studies. The random effects model was adopted in the study due to the significant level of heterogeneity. Results: Accordıng to the meta-analysis results, acupressure intervention to prevent pruritus in hemodialysis patients was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group (SMD=1.400, 95%CI:0.829-1.984, p=0.00). The meta-analysis findings based on the session revealed a very large mean effect size (Q between) of 1.152(95%CI=0.894–1.411, p=0.000). Conclusion: Acupressure was found to be effective in reducing pruritus in hemodialysis patients.

    Views of Hypertension Patients on Wearable Blood Pressure Devices
    (Ordu Üniversitesi, 2024) Şahan, Seda; Güler, Sevil
    Objective: This study was conducted to determine the opinions of hypertension patients about wearable blood pressure devices in blood pressure measurement. Method: The research was conducted in a descriptive type. Sample calculation was made using G Power analysis. For 99% power, 514 hypertension patients participated in the study. An individual introduction form and brochure were used to collect the research data. The brochure contains visual and written information about Omron HEM-6410 T, Smartwatches, Minish, OMRON HBP-9020, Free scan cuffless blood pressure, and Valencell in-ear blood pressure. Results: It was determined that 86.0% (n=442) of the patients did not know about wearable blood pressure devices, and 32.5% (n=167) expected wearable blood pressure devices to be cheap. After the introduction of wearable blood pressure devices to the patients, 30.4% (n=156) of the patients stated that they would prefer the Omron HBP-9020 device and 84.6% (n=435) of the patients stated that they would use wearable blood pressure devices if there were wearable blood pressure devices in our country. Conclusion: It was determined that most patients self-monitored their blood pressure but did not know about wearable blood pressure devices. It was determined that the patients' wearable blood pressure device preferences differed according to their sociodemographic characteristics. It may be recommended to educate patients about the features, advantages and use of wearable blood pressure devices.
