Examination of The Effects of Reggio Emilia Based Projects on Preschool Children's Creative Thinking Skills Akar Gençer, Arzu; Gönen, Mübeccel The present study investigates the effects of Reggio Emilia based projects on preschool children's creative thinking skills. The study was carried out with the participation of 18 six-year-olds attending a preschool in Kirklareli province of Turkey, in a period of 3 months, during which they were subjected to a Reggio Emilia based instruction project. As the data collection tool, we used Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking Form A, and conducted pre- and post-project testing in order to examine the differences in children's creative thinking skills.

N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids intake and effects on depression: what is suggested by the current literature? Kalkuz, Şeyma; Nergiz-Ünal, Reyhan Depression has become a current issue which is tried to be understood and where many researches are made on the causes of and treatment methods. According to the studies, it is important to examine the effect of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the diet as depression is becoming an important public health problem both in individual and social dimensions. The role of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the treatment of depression is being studied at an increasing rate due to the diagnosis of depression which has become widespread in the last decade. It has been reported in many studies that n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids may be effective in the treatment of depression by presenting anti-inflammatory effects, increasing membrane fluidity, altering neurotransmitter passage, affecting the activity of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, increasing levels of neurotrophic factors. Further research is being conducted as there is no identified side effect associated with the use of n-3 poly unsaturated fatty acids in appropriate amounts. Although the efficacy of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids has been proven by many studies, the issues of efficacy of their use individually or in combination and usability as an alternative therapy in the treatment of depression remain controversial.

The effect of cold application on episiotomy pain: A systematic review and meta-analysis Şolt Kırca, Ayça; Öksüz, Sevda Korkut; Murat, Naci Aims and Objectives To evaluate the effectiveness of cold application methods in reducing postpartum episiotomy pain. Background Many women suffer from pain after giving birth due to an episiotomy. This prolonged pain affects their daily lives as they recover. Various methods can help alleviate this pain; however, the effects of cold application specifically are still under discussion. Design Systematic review and meta-analysis were used. Methods In this review, we investigated studies from the CINAHL, PubMed, Google Scholar and Science Direct databases that met PICOS inclusion criteria. We also assessed the studies' methodological quality with the JADAD and JBI checklists. This study was performed based on the Guidelines of Systematic Reporting of Examination presented in the PRISMA checklist (Appendix S1). The search protocol has been registered at the PROSPERO International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews. Results A total of seven published studies including 700 total participants were included in this review. Various cold application methods (cold gel pack/pad, crushed ice gel pad, ice pack) significantly reduced the pain after an episiotomy. Ice packs in particular did not significantly differ from lavender oil and acupressure in reducing pain after an episiotomy. Conclusions Cold application methods can be an effective, non-pharmacological midwifery and nursing intervention to reduce pain after an episiotomy. Relevance to clinical practice The use of cold application methods to reduce pain after episiotomy may reduce the need for pharmacological medication in women due to the reduction in pain in the perineum.
