ABSTRACT
The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of precision nursing and its implications for education,practice and research.The emphases are on the contributions of nursing practice and research to genomics as well as precision health and precision medicine.Recommendations are elucidated on how to build knowledge and competence of precision nursing within the broad arena of precision health and precision medicine to promote the development of precision nursing.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of mindfulness intervention (MBI) on physical and mental symptoms in patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods Data of the relevant MBI in the physical and psychological symptoms were reviewed in patients with diabetes. The quasi-experimental studies or randomized controlled trials were used to retrieval from May 2016, and back into the study of references. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the literature was screened and the quality was evaluated to extract the data. Review Manager 5.3 software was used for Meta-analysis. Results The total of 9 studies and 474 patients were included in this study. Patients were divided into MBI group (n=251) and control group (n=223). Meta-analysis showed that mindfulness therapy was effective in relieving depression, anxiety, stress and diabetes distress symptoms in diabetic patients compared with those of controls [MD=-5.35, 95%CI:-7.11--3.59;MD=-1.91, 95%CI:-3.04--0.79;MD=-4.65, 95%CI:-6.68--2.44;MD=-6.37, 95%CI:-10.84--1.90], the differences were statistical significance (P < 0.05). The improvement of the negative emotions was sustained long-term effect, and patients can benefit from it. The effects of MBI on the quality of life, whether short-term or long-term, were inconsistent and required further verification. The effects of glycemic control were generally better in MBI group than those of the control group. Conclusion Mindfulness intervention shows beneficial non-drug adjuvant therapy in reducing depression, anxiety, stress and diabetes related distress in patients with type 2 diabetes. The effects of MBI on improving the quality of life, blood glucose control need further verification.
