The aim of this prospective observational study is to evaluate the effect of endotracheal cuff pressure management on postoperative complications in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. Specifically, patients whose endotracheal cuff pressure is maintained at an optimal level using a manometer will be compared with those whose cuff pressure is assessed using the conventional palpation method.
The primary question the study aims to answer is whether maintaining endotracheal cuff pressure at an optimal level with a manometer reduces the incidence of postoperative airway-related complications compared with the classical palpation technique.

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the human values-oriented cyberbullying prevention program on adolescents' cyberbullying/cyber victimization and coping skills.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does the human values-oriented cyberbullying prevention program have an impact on the cyberbullying or cyber victimization experienced by adolescents?
* Does the human values-oriented cyberbullying prevention program have an impact on adolescents' coping skills with cyberbullying or cyber victimization? The data are planned to be obtained by face-to-face interviews with students (adolescents). Adolescents who meet the conditions for inclusion in the study will be included in the experimental and control group. Pre-tests (Personal Information Form, Cyber Victimization and Bullying Scale and Coping Scale for Adolescents) will be applied to adolescents in the experimental and control groups before the program.
Later, the human values-based cyberbullying prevention program, consisting of 8 sessions, will be applied to the adolescents who will form the experimental group, once a week, for 8 weeks. Each session of the program will be planned to be 40 minutes (one class hour). The sessions will be held in groups and interviews with adolescents in the experimental group where the program will be implemented will continue in the form of face-to-face interviews. Each group will consist of an average of 8-10 people. Immediately after the program sessions are completed, the final tests of the experimental group (Cyber Victimization and Bullying Scale and Coping with Cyberbullying for Adolescents) will be applied. In addition, two months after the program is completed, follow-up tests (Cyber Victimization and Bullying Scale and Coping with Cyberbullying for Adolescents) will be applied. In the control group, no attempt will be made after the pre-test, the final test will be applied two and a half months later, and the follow-up tests will be applied two months after the last test. At the end of the study, the training guide prepared according to the human values-based cyberbullying prevention program will be shared with the adolescents in the control group.

This study aims to evaluate whether guided visualization meditation can reduce the surgical stress response in patients undergoing open-heart surgery. Surgical stress response includes changes in hormones, blood glucose, and anxiety levels that occur before and after major surgery. Guided visualization meditation is a non-invasive relaxation technique that uses calming audio instructions to help patients imagine peaceful scenes and reduce stress.
In this study, patients scheduled for cardiac surgery will be assigned to one of two groups: an intervention group that receives guided visualization meditation and a control group that receives standard care only. Patients in the intervention group will listen to an audio recording containing guided visualization and calming background music through headphones. Sessions will be provided twice on the day before surgery, twice on the day of surgery, and twice on the first postoperative day.
To evaluate the effects of the intervention, blood samples will be collected to measure cortisol, glucose, and insulin levels. Anxiety levels will be assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I and STAI-II), and pain will be measured using a visual pain scale. These measurements will be performed at three specific time points: one day before surgery, six hours after extubation, and one day post-surgery.
The goal of this research is to determine whether guided visualization meditation can help reduce stress-related physiological and psychological changes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. If effective, this method may offer a simple, safe, and supportive strategy to improve recovery and overall patient well-being.
