RESUMO
Objective@#To describe the status of cognition about colorectal cancer and the screening and its relevant factors among first degree relatives of hereditary colorectal cancer patients in Guangzhou.@*Methods@#Totally 274 subjects were investigated by a self-designed demographic questionnaire and the Chinese version of Cognitive Questionnaire for Colorectal Cancer and were analyzed by chisquare test, rank sum test and logistic regressive.@*Results@#60.2% (165/274) cases had a high level of cognition about colorectal cancer, 23.7% (65/274) had middle level of cognition about colorectal cancer and 16.0% (44/274) had a low level of cognition about colorectal cancer. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, sex, degree of education, marital status, family income, medical insurance and the number of cancer patients in his family were related factors (P<0.05). People who were young, female, highly educated, high family income, single, public/urban health insurance, commercial insurance and with more than 4 relatives suffering from colorectal cancer have higher cognitive level.@*Conclusions@#The level of cognition about colorectal cancer among first degree relatives of hereditary colorectal cancer patients was a little high. Medical staff should pay attention to relevant factors of health belief in subjects and develop targeted intervention to improve the level of cognition among these subjects and to promote their screening behavior.

RESUMO
Objective To explore the self-management behaviors of the patients with lumbar disc herniation. Methods Chronic disease self-management behavior measuring scale was used to investigate the self-management behaviors of 96 lumbar disc herniation patients. Results The score on self-management behaviors of the LDH patients was 20.42±7.52. 65.63%~84.38%of the patients took the wrong position at sitting, moving articles, and fetching articles from a low and high spot. 59.38%of them did not wear the waist supporter. 73.96%~95.83%of them did not follow the doctors' advice to sleep on hard bed, carry weights and keep the back warm. Conclusions The self-management behavior among LDH patients is dissatisfying. The nurses should provide patients with education on self-management behaviors, instructing them to take effective functional exercises, focusing on importance of cognitive symptom management in relieving pain and reducing negative emotion. Meanwhile, the nurses should advice patients to take right self-management behavior in daily life in order to promote the recovery of the function by patients' healthy behavior and life style.
