ABSTRACT
Objective:To summarize experience of nursing in radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for adrenocortical adenoma with Cushing′s syndrome combined steroid-induced diabetes mellitus.Methods:The key of preoperative nursing was precise glucose control by using insulin pump. Focus on patients psychological intervention. It was important for closely monitor the change of blood pressure, cortisol levels and biochemical index to prevent acute complications such as adrenal crisis during RFA. Pay attention to postoperative nutrition management for reduce blood glucose fluctuation and adverse reactions of hydrocortisone at postoperative.Results:No severe complications occurred during this procedure. After twenty-day nursing and treatment, the patient′s blood glucose control was stable, and the symptoms related to Cushing′s syndrome gradually disappeared.Conclusion:The ultrasound guided radiofrequency ablation in adrenocortical adenoma with Cushing′s syndrome combined with steroid-induced diabetes mellitus was a feasible, safe, and minimally invasive treatment. The key to effectively reduce postoperative complications and ensure the success of the operation. Are adequate preoperative preparation and strict monitor.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of community family nursing intervention on glycemic control of type 2 diabetic patients. Methods Ninety-two patients with type 2 diabetes after discharge in 6 communities of Tianhe District in Guangzhou were divided into a study group and a control group , 46 cases in each . The control group received routine care , while patients in the study group received additional community family nursing intervention, including personalized health education, diabetes family day and sharing, telephone follow-up and family home visits. The fasting plasma glucose, 2h-postprandial glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin A1c were compared. Results There were no significant differences in fasting plasma glucose, 2h-postprandial glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (all P>0.05). After intervention, there were significant differences in the three eridoxes between the two groups(all P<0.05). Conclusion The community family nursing intervention is of great importance to control the blood glucose, improve the therapeutic compliance and self-management ability in patients with type 2 diabetes.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the quality of life and its influencing factors in hver transplantation recipients in order to supply scientific reference for improving their life quality.Methods 33 patients with terminal liver diseases waiting for liver transplantation(the pre-operation group)and 102 patients 2 weeks after liver transplantation and outpatients for follow-up visits(the post-operation group)were conducted with SF-36,self-rating anxiety scale,self-rating depression scale,and social support questionnaire.Results Except for the scores of physiological function,emotional role,social function in SF-36.differences of scores of other factors were evident between the preand post-operation groups.Life quality of patients over 1 year after operation was better than those within 1 year. The influencing factors of QOL were subjective support and anxiety.Conclusions After liver transplantation,the patients' QOL evidently improves.Life quality of patients over 1 year after operation was better than those within 1 year.Patients' QOL is positively related to subjective support,negatively related to anxiety.
