ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the application value of white noise therapy on the alleviation of procedural pain of colostomy newborns.Methods:By a prospective, randomized and controlled trial, a total of 88 colostomy newborns in Hunan Children′s Hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 divided into experimental group (44 cases) and control group (44 cases) according to the random number table method. The control group received routine nursing; based on thesis, the experimental group played white noise intervention therapy on the basis of routine nursing. The intervention effect was assessed byNeonatal Infant Acute Pain Assessment Scale (NIAPAS), the first crying time and the duration of first crying, the first painful face and the duration of first painful face as well as heart rate and blood oxygen saturation.Results:The first crying time and the duration of first crying, the first painful face and the duration of first painful face were (28.05 ± 7.39) s, (46.18 ± 13.29) s, (32.89 ± 6.79) s, (52.75 ± 10.71) s in the experimental group, significantly shorter than in the control group (35.79 ± 5.81) s, (35.79 ± 5.81) s, (38.64 ± 10.53) s, (59.79 ± 13.52) s, the difference was statistically significant ( t values were 2.71-5.47, all P<0.05). During and after the procedure, the scores of NIAPAS were (6.32 ± 1.62) points, (4.18 ± 1.06) points in the experimental group, significantly lower than that in the control group (7.43 ± 1.78) points, (4.79 ± 1.34) points ( t=3.06, 2.38, both P<0.05); the heart rate were (152.82 ± 13.25) times/min and (147.84 ± 12.37) times/min in the experimental group, significantly lower than in the control group (166.11 ± 13.79) times/min and (155.77 ± 12.84) times/min ( t=4.61, 2.95, both P<0.05); the blood oxygen saturation were 0.979 8 ± 0.009 5 and 0.980 9 ± 0.012 4 in the experimental group, significantly higher than in the control group 0.969 1 ± 0.014 9, 0.972 3 ± 0.017 8, the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.01, 2.65, both P<0.05). Conclusions:White noise therapy can effectively alleviate procedural pain and stabilizing vital signs of colostomy newborns.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the status of occupational low back pain among orthopedic nurses, and to investigate the influence of fear-avoidance belief on their work engagement.Methods:A convenient sample of 325 orthopedic nurses were recruited from one tertiary grade orthopedic hospital in Tianjin City. The data collection tools included a demographic questionnaire, which assessed nurses′ demographic information and their general condition of low back pain, the Chinese version of Fear-avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire, and the Chinese version of Utrecht Work Engagement Scale.Results:91.7%(298/325) of orthopedic nurses reported that they had occupational low back pain, and the mean score of fear-avoidance belief was 59.18±14.55, and the mean score of Utrecht work engagement was 40.40±17.49. Nearly 89.3% (266/298) of nurses with low back pain had low or moderate level of work engagement. There was a statistically significant relationship between fear-avoidance belief and work engagement ( r=-0.306, P<0.001). Hierarchical Regression Analysis showed that variables, including higher education, salary per month, sick-leave, quitting job and fear-avoidance belief influenced orthopedic nurses′ work engagement. Specifically, fear-avoidance belief independently can explain 23.6% variation of work engagement. Conclusions:Orthopedic nurses′ occupational low back pain is very common, and the level of work engagement of this population is moderate, and fear-avoidance belief can predict work engagement. This revealed that nursing managers are supposed to pay attention to orthopedic nurses′ occupational low back pain, adopting appropriate nursing interventions to reduce these nurses′ pain, to decrease their fear-avoidance belief, which then in turn strengthen the nurses′ work engagement.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the perioperative clinical treatment of thyroid cancer patients with heart disease.@*Methods@#A retrospective analysis was conducted on 39 thyroid cancer patients with heart disease admitted to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Beijing Anzhen Hospital,Capital Medical University from April 2014 to February 2018,including 25 males and 14 females, the age ranged from 59 to 75 years,with an average age of 67.3±6.2 years. Perioperative clinical monitoring indicators included cardiac ultrasound left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), degree of vascular stenosis revealed by coronary CT, hypersensitive troponin I (TNI), b-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), fibrinogen degradation products,and coagulation indexes. This panel of patients comprised 26 cases with 50% ≤ LVEF<60%,10 cases with 40% ≤ LVEF<50%, 3 cases with 36% ≤ LVEF<40%, 27 cases with 0≤BNP<100 ng/L, 7 cases with 100≤BNP<400 ng/L, and 5 cases with 400≤BNP<700 ng/L. Coronary CT showed no coronary artery stenosis>75%. The vascular graft was patent and the coronary artery after stenting was unobstructed. For 3 patients with LVEF<40% and 5 patients with BNP>400 ng/L,cardiotonic,diuretic,and nutritional myocardial therapy were used for 1 week. SPSS 17.0 software was used to analyze the data.@*Results@#All 39 patients successfully completed the operation under general anesthesia,including 32 cases of total thyroidectomy,7 cases of glandular lobe and isthmic resection,and 40 cases of lateral neck dissection. One patient developed heart failure three days after surgery and was discharged after two weeks of treatment. No other cardiac related events,cerebrovascular and pulmonary thrombosis occurred during the perioperative period. The anesthesia preparation time was significant different between the group with 0≤BNP<100 ng/L and 50%≤LVEF<60% and the group with 0≤BNP<100 ng/L and 36%≤LVEF<50%.@*Conclusions@#Multi-indicators were utilized to adequately assess cardiac function before surgery. According to the results of cardiac ultrasound and coronary CT examination, the corresponding treatment should be conducted to improve the cardiac function. After the perioperative risk assessment and management of thyroid cancer patients with heart disease,standardized thyroid cancer surgery can be performed safely.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the effects of family-integrated care (FIC) on postoperative outcomes in children with enterostomy and their caregivers.@*Methods@#From August 2017 to August 2018, 50 children with enterostomy and 50 family members of the Children′s Hospital of Hunan Province were selected as subjects. According to the random number table, the children and their families were divided into control group and the observation group, each group was 25 cases. The control group was given a routine nursing mode to intervene, and the observation group was given an FIC mode for intervention. Postoperative outcomes were evaluated using the incidence of ostomy complications and readmission rates. The pre-intervention and outpatient follow-up were used to assess the psychological status of the family members using the Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), and to assess the postoperative care of the family's intestines using the postoperative evaluation of the postoperative intestines. The level of knowledge mastery. The self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and the self-rating depression scale (SDS) were used to assess the psychological state of the family members, and the postoperative care knowledge evaluation form for the postpartum was used to evaluate the postoperative care of the family.@*Results@#The incidence of ostomy complications in the observation group was 8.70% (2/23), which was lower than that in the control group (34.78% (8/23) (P<0.05). The readmission rate of the observation group was 0(0/23), which was lower than the control group 17.39% (4/23) (P<0.05). After intervention, the SAS scores and SDS scores of the families of the two groups were lower than those before the intervention, and the SAS scores and SDS scores of the observation group were lower than the control group(P<0.05). Before discharge and 3months of follow-up, the scores of postoperative care knowledge evaluation scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#FIC mode can effectively reduce the incidence of complications and readmission rate in children with enterostomy.
