RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the correlation of illness uncertainty with anxiety and depression in perioperative patients with early gastric cancer.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 107 patients with early gastric cancer who were admitted in Department of Gastroenterology of a Class A tertiary hospital in Beijing from April 2020 to August 2021. The demographic data questionnaire was used for survey, and the psychological status of patients was evaluated with Mishel′s Uncertainties in Illness Scales (MUIS), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS). Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation of disease uncertainty with anxiety and depression in patients with early gastric cancer.Results:The illness uncertainty in patients with early gastric cancer was at a moderate level (93.2±14.0). The total scores on the SAS and SDS were (46.5±9.7) and (47.7±10.2), respectively. And the incidence rate of anxiety and depression was 34.6% (37/107) and 31.8% (34/107) respectively. The illness uncertainty of patients with early gastric cancer was positively correlated with anxiety and depression ( r=0.40,0.31,all P<0.05). Conclusion:Some patients with early gastric cancer have illness uncertainty, anxiety and depression, and the illness uncertainty is related to anxiety and depression.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the effects of self-help mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) training on illness uncertainty andsleep quality in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) after radiofrequency ablation. To provide the basis for improving the quality of life of these patients.Methods:This was a randam controlled Test. A convenient sampling method was used to select 90 patients with atrial fibrillation who underwent radiofrequency ablation in the First Peoples Hospital of Changzhou from January 2021 to December 2021. According to the random number table method. They were divided into the experimental group and the control group, with 45 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing, and the observation group received home-based self-help MBSR training based on the routine nursing. Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale (PSQI) were used to evaluate the scores of each scale before intervention, 8 weeks and 3 months after intervention.Results:A total of 42 cases were completed in the experimental group and 41 cases in the control group. Repeated measurement analysis of variance showed that there were interaction effect ( F interaction = 90.98, 46.27, 39.61, all P<0.01), time effect ( F time = 298.67, 179.06, 76.32, all P<0.01) and inter-group effect ( F intergroup = 19.88, 4.07, 18.70, all P<0.05) on mindfulness score, disease uncertainty score, total score of sleep quality and scores of all dimensionsin between the two groups. Simple effect analysis showed that scores of all scales in experimental groups were significantly better than those in control group after the intervention ( F values were 11.75 to 66.49, all P<0.01). Conclusion:Self-help MBSR training can improve the level of mindfulness, reduce the feeling of uncertainty and improve the quality of sleep in patients with atrial fibrillation after radiofrequency ablation.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the relationship between the level of mindfulness, illness uncertainty, negative coping style and fear of recurrence in patients after radical resection of gastric cancer, and to understand the internal mechanism of how mindfulness affects the fear of recurrence.Methods:This was a cross sectional survey. From January 2019 to March 2021, the convenience sampling method was used to select 227 patients undergoing radical gastric cancer surgery in the Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medial University of Chinese PLA as the research objects. The general information questionnaire, Mindfulness Attention and Awareness Scale, Fear of Disease Progression Simplified Scale, Mishel′s Illness Uncertainty Scale and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire were used for questionnaire surveys. The relationship between the level of mindfulness, illness uncertainty, negative coping style and fear of recurrence was explored and the model was tested.Results:The returned questionnaires were 207 with a recovery rate of 91.19%(207/227). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the level of mindfulness was negatively correlated with illness uncertainty, negative coping style, and fear of recurrence ( r=-0.176, -0.269, -0.480, all P<0.01). Illness uncertainty, negative coping styles were positively correlated with fear of recurrence ( r=0.433, 0.420, both P<0.01). The mediation model test showed that mindfulness had a significant direct effect on fear of relapse (effect value was -0.220), illness uncertainty and negative coping styles had significant partial mediating effect between mindfulness level and fear of recurrence (effect value were -0.036, -0.030). And the chain mediating effect of illness uncertainty and negative coping style was also significant (effect value was -0.006). Conclusions:The level of mindfulness can not only have a direct impact on the fear of recurrence in patients after radical gastrectomy, but also indirectly affect the fear of recurrence through the chain mediating effect of illness uncertainty, negative coping style, and disease uncertainty→negative coping style.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the relationship between uncertainty in illness and recovery quality. Methods A cross sectional study was conducted from June to December 2015. The Chinese version Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale was used to assess uncertainty in illness of 168 patients with unconfirmed breast tumor undergoing general anesthesia. The following datarecovery time, time stay in postanesthesiacar unit, modified Observer′s Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale score etc were recorded. Results The breast tumor patients had a medium degree of illness uncertainty (81.11 ± 12.57) points. Educational background, marital status, family medical history, the severity of disease affect scores of illness uncertainty (P<0.05 or 0.01). Uncertainty in illnesswas negative correlated with recovery quality (P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusions Uncertainty in illness of patients isrelated to recovery quality. Nursesshould instruct breast tumor patients to manage symptoms to decrease uncertainty in illness.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the level of illness uncertainty among family members of patients in surgical intensive care unit (ICU) and analyze its potential influencing factors based on Mishel′s theory. Methods A sample of 260 family members were recruited from the surgical ICU during the period from September 2014 to June 2015. Illness uncertainty was assessed by the Mishel Uncertainty of Illness Scale-Family Member. General variables questionnaire, Social Support Rating Scale, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire were also examined to explore the influencing factors. Results The score of illness uncertainty was ( 96.75 ± 13.90 ) points in family member of patients in surgical ICU, at a high level. Multiply liner regression showed that social support (P=0.011), positive coping style (P=0.027) and average family income (P=0.033) were significant influencing factors of illness uncertainty. Conclusions The level of illness uncertainty is high among family members of patients in surgical ICU. There is a need for nurses to provide accessible social support and psychological intervention, help them cope with illness uncertainty positively.

RESUMEN
Objective We discussed the influence of health education on uncertainty of patients undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. Methods We divided 60 patients who were to undergo extracorporeal shock wave lithitripsy into the control group and the test group with 30 eases in each group. The test group implement systemic education according to the health education model. The control group received routine health education. Uncertainty about illness was measured by Mishel uncertainty in illness scale (MUIS) on admission, 1 day before lithotripsy and on discharge from hospital in the two groups. Results The illness uncertainty of the test group 1 day before lithotripsy and on discharge from hospital decreased evidently compared with that of on admission (P<0.01). The decrease amplitude was statistically different from that of the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion Health education through application of health education model could significantly decrease the illness uncertainty of patients undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.
