RESUMO
Objective:To systematic review the efficacy and safety of external application of traditional Chinese medicine on treatment of breast cancer related lymphedema.Methods:CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, Sino-Med, The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science were searched for related randomized controlled trials, the retrieval time was from inception to May 25, 2020. Two researchers independently screened and evaluated the included studies. Meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.4 software.Results:A total of 16 studies involving 1 315 patients with breast cancer related lymphedema were included, and the methodological quality of the included studies was not high. Compared with conventional treatment, external application of traditional Chinese medicine combined with conventional treatment had advantages in improving the total efficiency( P<0.01) and quality of life( P<0.01), reducing pain( P<0.01) and improving upper limb function( P<0.01), without obvious adverse reactions( P>0.05), but there was no improvement in depression( P>0.05). Compared with conventional treatment, external application of traditional Chinese medicine could improve the total efficiency( P<0.01). Compared with placebo sticker combined with conventional treatment, external application of traditional Chinese medicine combined with conventional treatment can reduce circumference( P<0.05) and reduce pain( P<0.01), without obvious adverse reactions( P>0.05). Conclusions:Available evidence suggests that external application of traditional Chinese medicine may be a potential treatment method for breast cancer related lymphedema. Due to the poor methodological quality of the included studies, high-quality randomized controlled trials are still needed.
RESUMO
Objective:To comprehensively collect the clinical research evidence of Wuqinxi, and provide reference for the future clinical research.Methods:China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang Database, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc (CBM), PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched. The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of each database to March 31, 2021. After screening and extracting, SPSS 22.0 was used to analyze the basic characteristics, sample size, control and intervention measures, outcomes.Results:Totally 230 studies were included, of which 58.26% (134/230) were randomized controlled trial. The top 6 diseases were chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, osteoporosis, cervical pain, low back pain, diabetes and knee osteoarthritis. Common outcome included four items of blood lipid tests, blood glucose, immunological indicators and the evaluation of disease-related symptoms, such as pain, sleep and range of motion. The median frequency of Wuqinxi was once a day, 45 minutes each time, 5 days a week and lasted for 3 months. 94.78% (218/230) of the studies reported positive results. The safety and compliance of Wuqinxi intervention were good.Conclusions:The number of clinical studies on Wuqinxi is significantly less than Baduanjin and Taijiquan. It is necessary to formulate the report specification of intervention measures for Wuqinxi, so as to report the intervention plan of Wuqinxi more clearly and transparently.
RESUMO
This paper reviews the literature about the common complications, evaluation tools and intervention measures of free flap repair for tongue cancer patients at home and abroad, summarizes the current research status, and points out that the nursing plan of free flap repair for tongue cancer patients needs to be further standardized, and needs to carry out evidence-based clinical research.
RESUMO
With the construction and development of head and neck tumor, diagnosis and treatment technology and survival rate of patients have been improved in different degrees. Nurses play an important role as managers and practitioners in the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with head and neck tumors, and it is very important to evaluate and manage the treatment and prognosis of head and neck tumor patients scientifically. In this context, the American Cancer Society launched the Head and Neck Cancer Survivorship Care Guideline in 2017 and was endorsed by the American Society for Clinical Oncology. This paper mainly discusses the forming process of the guidelines, the main points of the consensus of experts, the guiding role of the guidelines in clinical work and the obstacles and limitations of the guidelines.
RESUMO
Objective To analyze and provide reference for developing clinical practice guidelines of ostomy care suitable for the domestic health care settings. Methods Content analysis method was used to analyze clinical practice guidelines searched from the Internet. Results A total of 13 clinical practice guidelines were included. All the guidelines were published between 2005 to 2016 without update. Four of them were evidence-based guidelines, the rest were not. A total of 21 items were identified as being related to ostomy care. Conclusions Although the existing clinical practical guidelines are instrumental to guiding clinical ostomy care practice, most of them were not evidence-based guidelines without high methodological quality. Meanwhile, some guidelines lack specific and updating recommendations for ostomy care, which may cause problems in ostomy care practice. What′s more, some recommendations may not suit for China because they were made in the foreign circumstance. Researchers and clinical nurses should develop local practice guidelines of ostomy care with consideration of the actual medical conditions in China and the best evidence.
RESUMO
The aim of this review is to realize the significance of physical activity for colorectal cancer survivors, collect the common tools to assess colorectal cancer patients' physical activity, understand the current status and its influencing factors of colorectal cancer patients' physical activity as a reference to Chinese relevant research and provide a basis for carrying out medical or nursing intervention.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the differences of curriculum designs for undergraduate nursing majors among different TCM colleges and universities;To provide evidence for the development of the accreditation standards for academic quality of baccalaureate degree program in TCM colleges and universities which can be used as the standards for teaching reform. Methods Cultivating plans of 20 TCM colleges and universities for undergraduate nursing majors were collected. Current status and deficiency in curriculum design were obtained through comparative study and statistical analysis.Results The course names were lack of standardization;proportion of Chinese and Western medicine related courses were unreasonable;theoretical and practice teaching were irrelevant;optional courses were greatly inconsistent and irrational. Conclusion The further reform of the curriculum design for the undergraduate nursing majors in TCM colleges and universities is in urgent need, which can be standardized by developing the accreditation standards for academic quality of baccalaureate degree program in universities of Chinese Medicine.
