RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the current status of anticipatory grief among caregivers of major relatives of hospitalized patients with hematological malignancies and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:Convenience sampling method was used to select 208 primary relatives and caregivers of patients with hematological malignancies who were hospitalized in the Department of Hematology, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from March to November 2020. Self-designed general information questionnaire, Chinese version of Anticipatory Grief Scale, caregiver burden scale and simple coping style questionnaire were used. The current status and influencing factors of anticipatory grief among caregivers of major relatives of hospitalized patients with hematological diseases were also analyzed.Results:The expected sadness score of caregivers of major relatives of hospitalized patients with hematological malignancies was 79(72, 91). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the main influencing factors of anticipatory grief among caregivers of major relatives of hospitalized patients with hematological malignancies were the stage of treatment, the severity of subjective symptoms, whether to seek medical treatment in other places, the working status of caregivers of major relatives was unemployed, relationships with patients were parents, caregiver burden, and negative coping styles, which explained 83.1% of the total variation.Conclusions:Anticipatory grief is more serious among the caregivers of major relatives of hospitalized patients with hematological malignancies. It is recommended that nurses in the Hematology Department detect and assess the level of anticipatory grief of caregivers in a timely manner, and give corresponding interventions according to individual differences, so as to improve the physical and mental health of the caregivers, and then improve the quality of care and promote the recovery of patients.
RESUMO
Objective To study the clinical value of detection of peripheral blood natural killer(NK) cells subsets in patients with malignant hematological diseases.Methods A total of 100 patients with malignant blood disease were enrolled from March 2014 to April 2016 as the observation group,including 50 cases in acute stage and 50 cases in mild stage.At the same time,100 health subjects were enrolled as the control group.The number of NK cells in peripheral blood and the changes of subgroups were compared.Results The number of NK cells in the different groups were compared,the absolute numbers and relative numbers of NK cells in the acute phase of leukemia and lymphoma were much lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).While the absolute number and relative number of NK cells in mild stage of leukemia and lymphoma were higher than that in acute phase(P<0.05).After treatment,the absolute number and relative number of NK cells in patients with leukemia and lymphoma were higher than before treatment(P<0.05).Before treatment,levels of CD56bright and CD56dim in patients with leukemia and lymphoma were statistically different with those of control group(P<0.05).After treatment,CD56bright and CD56dim levels were significantly improved in both groups(P<0.05).Conclusion The number of peripheral blood NK cells in patients with hematological malignancies could be reduced,and the cells function might be compromised.Detection of NK cell subsets could be with guiding significance in the treatment of malignant hematologic disease.
RESUMO
Natural killer cells (NK cells) are a class of cytotoxic lymphocytes and play an important role in anti-tumor immunity.There are many new advances from basic research to clinical applications in the 56th annual meeting of American Society of Hematology around the NK cells in Malignant hematological diseases.In this review,the progress will be given,which helps to understand the trend of NK cells in future clinical applications.
