This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of Arterio-Venous Fistula (AVF) care training given to hamodialysis patients on quality of life, comfort and self-care behaviours. Patient education is one of the practices that help patients to gain self-care behaviours as well as reducing the cost of health expenditures. Nurses are health professionals who play an important role in patient education. Nurses provide patient education by using different materials. These materials can sometimes be mobile phones, videos, web-based applications, sometimes face-to-face interviews with patients, brochures or written materials. In this study, a training programme for AVF care will be developed. In addition, it is expected that the AVF care training to be given to HD patients will increase the quality of life and comfort areas, and increase the awareness and well-being levels of patients in self-care behaviours. The effectiveness of the study will be expanded by presenting the results of the research as a paper in an international comprehensive congress. An article of the study will be published in a journal scanned in international indexes and will be included in the literature.

The aim of this randomized controlled experimental study was to determine the effects of two different interventions on fear, anxiety, comfort, and pain levels during the transfer of children undergoing circumcision to the operating room.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* H1: Animal-assisted intervention during transfer to the operating room affects children's fear.
* H2: Animal-assisted intervention during transfer to the operating room affects children's anxiety.
* H3: Animal-assisted intervention during transfer to the operating room affects children's comfort.
* H4: Animal-assisted intervention during transfer to the operating room affects children's pain.
* H5: Playing with a kaleidoscope during transfer to the operating room affects children's fear.
* H6: Playing with a kaleidoscope during transfer to the operating room affects children's anxiety.
* H7: Playing with a kaleidoscope during transfer to the operating room affects children's comfort.
* H8: Playing with a kaleidoscope during transfer to the operating room affects children's pain.
Researchers will investigate the effects of animal-assisted intervention and kaleidoscopes on anxiety, fear, pain, and comfort during the transfer to the operating room in boys aged 7-10 undergoing circumcision. A comparison will be made with a control group to determine this effectiveness.
Participants:
* The animal-assisted intervention group will initiate interaction with a goldfish in a portable aquarium during the preoperative period and accompany them until they arrive in the operating room.
* The kaleidoscope group will be distracted with a kaleidoscope during the preoperative period and continue this intervention until they arrive in the operating room.
* The control group will follow the hospital's routine patient transfer procedure.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the training given to the teachers of children with intellectual disabilities with the "Epilepsy Management at School Mobile Health Application" and the "Digital Epilepsy Education Guide" on teachers' epilepsy knowledge, attitudes, and self management levels. This study was planned in a pretest, posttest design, follow-up, randomized controlled study. The sample of the study will consist of 90 teachers. Intervention-1 (Epilepsy Management at School Mobile Health Application, n=30), intervention-2 (Digital Epilepsy Education Guide, n=30) and control group (group without any intervention, n=30) will be included in the study. The data collection tools to be used in the research will be applied to all three groups at the same time intervals (T0: Just before the application phase of the research, T1: 15 days after the application, T2: one month after the application). The data will be collected using the Personal Information Form, the Knowledge and Attitudes Toward Epilepsy Among School Teachers Scale, and the Epilepsy Self-Management Scale for Teachers. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 25.0 package program will be used in the analysis of the data.
