Article Does Prolotherapy Have an Effect on the Care of Pressure Injuries? a Pilot Study(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025) Eroglu, Nermin; Kokkiz, Rukiye; Eroglu, Hatice Eda; Kocoglu, HasanBackground: This study contributes to wound healing with prolotherapy in people with pressure injuries. The study was planned and conducted as a randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of prolotherapy on the care of pressure injuries. Methods: The study was carried out with patients with pressure injuries in the intensive care unit of a city hospital between April and June 2023. A power analysis was performed, and the sample size was calculated as 20 patients, including 10 in the intervention and 10 in the control group. The patients in the experimental group were given wound care with gelofusine as prolotherapy in the morning and evening for three days, and the injury site was covered with a sterile sponge and fixation tape. The patients in the control group were treated with saline in the morning and evening for three days. In both groups, the wound width, depth, and length were measured and evaluated prior to each intervention for three days. Results: In the study, a significant difference was found between the mean ages of the participants in the experimental and control groups (p < 0.05). The decrease in width measurements in the experimental group was found to be statistically significant compared to the previous measurements, while the increase in width measurements in the control group was significant compared to the previous measurements (p < 0.05). Depth measurements decreased statistically significantly in the experimental group, while they increased significantly in the control group compared to previous measurement values (p < 0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, it was determined that the administration of gelofusine for pressure injuries as prolotherapy in the experimental group may be more effective in wound healing than saline treatment applied in the control group. Further studies are warranted.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 17The Effect of Education Given To Type 2 Diabetic Individuals on Diabetes Self-Management and Self-Efficacy: Randomized Controlled Trial(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021) Eroglu, Nermin; Sabuncu, NecmiyeAim: This study used a randomized controlled trial design and was carried out to examine the effect of education on diabetes self-management and self-efficacy in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: The study was carried out between July 2016-March 2017. Data were collected using information form, Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ), self-efficacy scale for patients with type 2 diabetes (DSS).The individuals in the experimental group were given education. Both groups were reminded about the control time of their metabolic values on the phone in the 3rd and 6th months. Results: The average age of the individuals was 59.91 +/- 8.93 (n = 78), 62.8% (n = 49) were female, 92.3% (n = 72), were married, 42.3% (n = 33) were high school graduates and their diabetes duration was 7.05 +/- 3.9. There was a statistically significant difference in the 6th month metabolic values in the experimental group compared to the control group. When diabetes self-management and self-efficacy were examined, a statistically significant difference was found in the experimental group compared to the control group at 3rd and 6th months (p < 0.05, p < 0.01). Conclusion: In this study, a significant increase in diabetes self-management and self-efficacy and a significant decrease in metabolic values were observed as a result of education and phone reminders given to individuals with type 2 diabetes.
