Objective:To analyze the level of self-management and its influencing factors in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods:A cross-sectional study. From January to December 2021, patients with SLE in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology in the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were selected as the study objects by convenience sampling method. A total of 135 questionnaires were distributed in this study, 135 were recovered, and 128 were valid. The general data of the patients were collected, and the self-management level, self-efficacy, family care and meaning in life of the patients were evaluated with the chronic disease self-management behavior scale, general self-efficacy scale (GSES), family adaption partnership growth affection resolve index (APGAR) and the meaning in life questionnaire (MLQ). Multiple linear regression analysis was applied to explore the factors affecting the self-management of SLE patients.Results:The total score of chronic disease self-management behavior scale in the 128 SLE patients was (28.77±6.58) points. Pearson correlation analysis showed strong correlation between self-efficacy, sense of life meaning and self-management ( r=0.748, 0.717, both P<0.001), there was a moderate correlation between family care and self-management ( r=0.560, P<0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that educational level ( β′=0.457), disease activity ( β′=-0.211), self-efficacy ( β′=-0.372), family care ( β′=-0.510), meaning in life ( β′=-0.386) were influencing factors of self-management level in patients with SLE (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The self-management level of SLE patients needs to be improved. Disease activity, self-efficacy, meaning in life and other factors can affect the patients′ self-management level.

Objective:To investigate the effect of the 3t sensorial saturation in the application of relieving pain and comfort due to femoral vein blood sampling in preterm infants, so as to provide the reference for the selection of clinical nursing plans.Methods:This was a quasi experimental study. A total of 110 preterm infants admitted to the neonatal unit of Shanxi Children′s Hospital from August 2021 to March 2022 were selected and divided into the control group and intervention group with 52 cases respectively by the random number table method. The control group implemented conventional care, and the intervention group implemented the 3t sensorial saturation method including taste, touch and talk on the basis of the control group. The pain and comfort of two groups were evaluated by the Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP) and COMFORTneo Scale at 3 min before, during, and 3 min after blood, and the heart rate and SpO 2 of the two groups were compared. Results:Finally, 52 premature infants were included in both groups. The PIPP score, the total score of the COMFORTneo Scale, the heart rate and SpO 2 were 2.00 (1.00, 3.00), 6.50 (6.00, 7.75), 4.00 (3.00, 5.00), 7.00 (6.00, 8.00), 17.00 (15.00, 19.00), 9.50 (9.00, 10.00) points, (137.29 ± 8.58), (148.31 ± 8.89), (143.06 ± 7.61) times/min, 0.980 (0.970, 0.990), 0.960 (0.950, 0.970), 0.980 (0.970, 0.990) in the intervention group, 2.00 (1.25, 3.00), 12.00 (11.00, 13.00), 7.00 (6.00, 8.00), 7.00 (6.00, 9.00), 25.00 (23.00, 27.00), 20.00 (19.00, 22.00) points, (141.54 ± 10.57), (179.71 ± 14.62), (162.00 ± 14.32) times/min, 0.980 (0.960, 0.990), 0.940 (0.920, 0.958), 0.960 (0.940, 0.978). The results of generalized estimating equation analysis showed that the PIPP score, total COMFORTneo Scale score and SpO 2 via different time points, subgroups, and subgroups with time points were statistically significant (Wald χ2 values were 16.72-2 489.71, all P<0.05). The results of two-factor repeated measures ANOVA showed that the interaction effects of heart rate via different time points, subgroups, and subgroups with time points were statistically significant ( F=253.08, 105.02, 77.17, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The 3t sensorial saturation method can effectively reduce pain during femoral vein blood sampling in preterm infants, can improve the comfort level of preterm infants, is conducive to the stabilization of vital signs in preterm infants, and is suitable for promotion and application in clinical care.
