ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the experience of women with heroin dependence in compulsory detoxification before the society-return.Methods A semi-structured interview was conducted with 15 women with heroin dependence in compulsory detoxification.Data were analyzed based on Colaizzi phenomenological research method.Results The feelings of women with heroin dependence in compulsory detoxification were classified into 3 themes,including negative self-concept,loneliness and helplessness,uncertainty about the future.Conclusions Nurses should pay attention to problems about women with heroin dependence in compulsory detoxification and provide effective measures to improve their physical and psychological health and help them to return to the society.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the status and influencing factors of convalescent patients with heroin dependence in compulsory detoxification.Methods A total of 90 convalescent patients with heroin dependence in compulsory detoxification were recruited and investigated with a self-designed scale,General Self-efficacy Scale (GSES),Social Support Assessment Scale (SSRS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS).Results The mean score of the self-efficacy was (20.97±2.26) points.Multiple regression analysis showed that depression,social support and daily dose of heroin use were influencing factors of the self-efficacy,which could explain 59.1％ of the variance.Conclusions Improving the self-efficacy of convalescent patients with heroin dependence in compulsory detoxification can enhance physical and psychological health and decrease the relapse.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To review the results with an approach of primary repair for tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and double-outlet right ventricle (DORV) with anomalous coronary arteries. Methods: From June 1995 to June 2002, 12 patients with TOF and DORV associated with anomalous coronary arteries crossing an obstructed right ventricle outflow tract underwent primary surgical repair. To avoid injury of the anomalous coronary arteries, some modified surgical techniques were used. Main pulmonary artery translocation in 2 patients, repair under a mobilized left anterior descending coronary artery in 3, displaced ventriculotomy with subcoronary suture lines in 5, and the right ventricle outflow tract was repaired via the arteriotomy and/or pulmonary incision in 2. Results: There were no early or late death, and no myocardial infarction. Follow-up ranged from 3 months to 6 years, there were no residual leakage and obstruction of right ventricle outflow tract. Conclusion: Primary repair of TOF with anomalous coronary arteries can be done with excellent results. A proper surgical technique should be used during operation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of an improved uterooperator in the interventional treatment of tube obstructional infertility, and to make a comparison with other motheds. Method One hundred cases of infertile women with tubal obstruction were divided into 3 groups and treated separately under TV fluoroscopy with 3 different methods and follow-up examination was made up to 24 months. Among the 100 cases, 60 cases were treated with improved uterooperator(109 tubes), 20 with Cook cupped coaxial catheter (36 tubes), and 20 with emulsoid double-cavity tube (20 tubes). Result Among the improved uterooperator group, Cook cupped coaxial catheter group, and emulsoid double-cavity tube group, the successful rate of selective catheterization was 92.7%, 80.6%, and 80.0%, respectively. The successful rate of recanalization was 72.3%, 72.4%, and 71.4%, respectively. The pregnancy rate was 36.4%, 35.7%, and 36.4%, respectively. Improved uterooperator has the highest successful rate in selective catheterization(? 2=4.275 5, P
