Effect of mindfulness-based stress reduction on negative emotion and coping style of patients with newly diagnosed silicosis / 中国职业医学

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of mindfulness-based stress reduction(MBSR) on anxiety, depression and coping style of patients with newly diagnosed silicosis. METHODS: A total of 156 cases of patients with newly diagnosed silicosis were randomly divided into the control group and the intervention group by convenient sampling method, with 78 cases in each group. Patients in the control group were given routine care only, patients in the intervention group received MBSR intervention for 8 weeks on the basis of routine care. The Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, Self-Rating Depression Scale and Medical Response Questionnaire investigated the scores of anxiety, depression and coping styles in the two groups before and after the intervention. RESULTS: Before intervention, there was no significant difference in the scores of anxiety, depression and each dimension of medical response such as facing, avoidance and resignation dimensions in the two groups(P>0.05). After intervention, the anxiety and depression scores of patients in the intervention group decreased [(54.9±3.8) vs(45.5±3.8) and(57.5±3.9) vs(48.7±3.3), respectively, P<0.01] compared with the control group. The facing dimension scores of medical response increased [(19.0±1.3) vs(21.8±1.2), P<0.01], and the scores of avoidance dimension and resignation dimension of medical response decreased [(13.0±2.9) vs(12.2±2.1) and(10.3±1.6) vs(8.0±1.5), respectively, P<0.05]. CONCLUSION: The MBSR training can improve the negative emotion such as anxiety and depression in patients with silicosis, and encourage them to cope with the disease in a positive way.

Application of Joint Computer Radiography System and High kV Radiography Technique in Diagnosis of Cardiac Disease / 医疗卫生装备

Objective To investigate the application of computer radiography system in combination with high kV radiography technique to diagnose cardiac disease.Methods 30 patients with cardiac disease were taken chest photographs,which chest photographs by CR system and high kV radiography technique were compared with these by common high kV radiography.Results The good rate of air tube occupied is 98% in therapy group,but the rate is only 70% in common group.The discrepant comparison is significant differences.Conclusion It is more significant that CR system in combination with high kV radiography technique than common photograph to diagnose cardiac disease.
