ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical nursing path on the psychological status of cerebral infarction patients hospitalized for the first time.Methods Two hundred cerebral infarction patients hospitalized for the first time were equally randomized into the observation group and control group:the former used conventional nursing method and the latter a clinical nursing path.The self-rating depression scale(SDS)and self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)were used to assess their psychological state.Results After intervention,the scores on SDS and SAS in the former group were significantly lower than those in the latter group(all P<0.05). The satisfaction rate in the former was higher than that of the control(P<0.05).Conclusion The clinical nursing path makes it possible to effectively alleviate the psychological burden of the cerebral infarction patients hospitalized for the first time and improve the patients’satisfaction with nursing working.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the outcome of postoperative hypopituitarism and hormone replacement in patients with pituitary adenoma,and to analyze the potential factors related to postoperative hypopituitarism.Methods A total of 215 postoperative patients with pituitary adenoma were analyzed.Pituitary functions( including gonadal,thyroid,and adrenal axes ) were asessed by strict criteria.Data of surgery history and hormone replacement situation were collected for statistical analysis.Results The prevalence of hypopituitarism was 54.0％,including 36.7％ hypogonadism,32.6％ hypothyroidism,and 28.4％ hypoadrenalism.Replacements of gonadal steroid,glucocorticoid,and thyroxine were carried out in 25.6％,84.3％,and 80.6％ of the cases,respectively.Univariate analysis showed that male sex and large tumor were related to hypopituitarism. Conclusion After pituitary adenomectomy,approximately half of the patients present anterior pituitary dysfunction,while quite a number of them have not been treated appropriately.
