ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the TCM literature of stomachache based on content analysis, and to explore the law of selecting points in nursing of qi stagnation syndrome. Methods Terms such as"stomachache","distension","belching","gastritis""functional dyspepsia"and"peptic ulcer"were used as the characteristic words, and the CNKI, Wanfang data, VIP, CBM, Pubmed and Embase databases were retrieved to find literature of acupoint therapies for this symptom, while snowball was conducted to expand the literature. SPSS20.0 and Rost Content Mining 5.8 softwares were used to analyze the contents of the included literature, and to explore the syndrome differentiation rules of acupoint therapy in patients with stomachache of qi stagnation. Results Totally 279 Chinese and 27 English articles were included. Through bibliometric analysis, word frequency statistics and cluster analysis, the most commonly used acupoint therapies included acupuncture, acupoint massage, acupoint application, acupoint embedding, acupoint injection. The most common selected acupoints of qi stagnation syndrome was Zusanli, Zhongwan, Neiguan, Taichong, Qimen, Zhangmen, Pishu, Weishu and Ganshu. Conclusions The application of content analysis method in the field of TCM nursing provides a scientific method for summarizing the literature in the future, and is worthy of popularization and application in clinical nursing.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of swallowing training supplemented with neuromuscular electrical stimulation to provide a reference for clinical treatment and further study.Methods Reports of randomized and controlled trials of surface neuromuscular electrical stimulation in treating post-stroke dysphagia were sought in the Cochrane library,the PubMed and Embase databases,the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL),and also in the ProQuest,PsycARTICLES,CBMdisc,China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),CQVIP database and Wanfang databases.All of the literature found was evaluated by 2 researchers according to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria and the data were extracted and combined.Then meta-analysis was performed using version 5.3 of the RevMan software package.Results Eleven randomized and controlled trials involving 576 patients were included in the meta-analysis.Together,the data showed that swallowing training supplemented by neuromuscular electrical stimulation is significantly more effective than swallowing training alone in improving swallowing function.It reduces the risk of aspiration and improves quality of life.It does not,however,generally shorten the pharyngeal transmit time.Conclusions Swallowing training supplemented with neuromuscular electrical stimulation is a promising approach for treatment of post-stroke dysphagia and warrants further study.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of motivational interviewing (MI) on the medication adherence and self-efficacy in patients with ulcerative colitis.Methods Totally 81 patients with ulcerative colitis were randomly divided into the control group(n=40) and the experimental group(n=41).The patients in the control group received routine ulcerative colitis education,while the patients in the experimental group received developed motivational interviewing intervention.The problems existing in treatment course were found out through interview and protocols were made with patients together.Results One and three months after the intervention,the scores of medication adherence in the experimental group were (7.20±0.85) and (6.57±1.02),higher than those of the control group(6.48±0.71) and (5.98±0.85),t=3.868,2.655,both P＜ 0.05.Self-efficacy scored higher in the experimental group than that of the control group,(229.73±14.61) vs.(213.60±13.06),t=5.233,P ＜ 0.01.Conclusions Motivational interviewing is much more effective than routine education on the improvement of medication adherence and self-efficacy in patients with ulcerative colitis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of different angles of the head of bed on intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) in patients with severe traumatic brain injury. Methods A prospective self-controlled study was used. The parameters of mean arterial pressure (MABP) and cerebral blood flow on 43 patients with STBI, were measured at 0° , 10° , 20° and 30° respectively. The changes of ICP and CPP were calculated according to the formula. Results With the angles of head of bed was up from 0° to 30° , MABP gradually reduced, (102.57 ± 8.34) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133kPa), (100.74 ± 8.12) mmHg, (97.32 ± 7.94) mmHg, (94.82 ± 8.38) mmHg, so was ICP, which were (24.50 ± 6.29) mmHg, (22.88 ± 6.18) mmHg, (19.57 ± 6.22) mmHg, (17.32 ± 6.77) mmHg, and the difference was statistically significant(F=13.38,F=14.03,P0.05). For moderate increased intracranial pressure patients (ICP0.05). Conclusions Elevating the head to 30 °can rapidly reduce the intracranial pressure and ensure enough cerebral perfusion. It is a safe and effective treatment for the similar patients in emergency rescue and nursing. At the same time, for the patients with moderate intracranial hypertension (ICP ≥25 mmHg), elevation the head of bed up to 20 ° can reduce the adverse effects of intracranial pressure adaptability shortage and the cerebral hypoperfusion, increase the safety of nursing care, and reduce the secondary brain injuries.
ABSTRACT
This paper reviews the current research of the influencing factors and nursing interventions in traumatic brain injury of patients with increased intracranial pressure.Summarizes the various nursing interventions methods such as position,hypothermia,sputum suction, basic nursing to preventing or reducing increased intracranial pressure of patients. We expect to provide the references in reducing patient′s increased intracranial pressure meanwhile maintaining adequate cerebral perfusion, preventing complications and improving the prognosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To describe the factors influencing medication compliance of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and provide a reference for health care workers developing effective response plans.Methods In-depth interview was conducted to 10 UC patients and the interview results were analyzed by phenomenology research method.Results There were five factors influence medication compliance of UC patients including drug affect,economic burden,living events,follow-up appointment and stigma.Conclusions The medication compliance of UC patients is mainly related to patients lacking of drugs knowledge,heavy burden on drugs cost and shortage of social support etc.The health education and medication supervision on UC patients should be strengthened and the social health insurance system on UC needed to be improved.
ABSTRACT
