ABSTRACT
Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the real inner experience and nursing needs of adolescent patients who suffered from school bullying, and to develop a treatment plan to restore adolescent mental health. Methods: Using the maximum difference sampling method, 15 adolescent patients were interviewed by psychologists and nurses, and the interview results were analyzed by topic induction. Results: Among the 15 participants, 12 (80%) felt helpless, 13 (86.7%) had serious negative emotions, and 10 (66.7%) felt anxious about personal growth. Based on the semi-structured interviews, the psychological states of participants were summarized into three themes: Helplessness, Severe negative emotions, and Anxiety about personal growth. Under the theme of serious negative emotions, it was further divided into three sub-themes: Frustration and Distrust, Rebellion, Insecurity and depression. These themes reflected the significant impact of school bullying on the psychological status of the participants. Conclusion: The internal experience of adolescent patients with mental disorders caused by school bullying mainly includes helplessness, serious negative emotions and anxiety about personal growth. It is recommended to evaluate and diagnose patients' existing and potential health problems individually during clinical treatment and care. On the basis of comprehensive assessment, psychological counseling should be provided and support from family and school should be sought to promote positive mental health and personal growth of adolescents.
ABSTRACT
Wide-bandgap (WBG) perovskite solar cells hold tremendous potential for realizing efficient tandem solar cells. However, nonradiative recombination and carrier transport losses occurring at the perovskite/electron-selective contact (e.g. C60 ) interface present significant obstacles in approaching their theoretical efficiency limit. To address this, a sequential interface engineering (SIE) strategy that involves the deposition of ethylenediamine diiodide (EDAI2 ) followed by sequential deposition of 4-Fluoro-Phenethylammonium chloride (4F-PEACl) is implemented. The SIE technique synergistically narrows the conduction band offset and reduces recombination velocity at the perovskite/C60 interface. The best-performing WBG perovskite solar cell (1.67 eV) delivers a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 21.8% and an impressive open-circuit voltage of 1.262 V. Moreover, through integration with double-textured silicon featuring submicrometer pyramid structures, a stabilized PCE of 29.6% is attained for a 1 cm2 monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem cell (certified PCE of 29.0%).
ABSTRACT
Objective: Recently, cancer patients have challenges with self-management. This study aims to improve symptoms of chronic pain, and anxiety and depression associated with cancer by PRO-SELF nursing intervention. Methods: Sixty-four patients were randomly assigned to an intervention and a control group from Jan 2016 to Dec 2019, 34 usable cases in the intervention group and 30 cases in the control group were collected. The control group received a routine cancer pain nursing intervention, whereas the intervention group received a PRO-SELF based multidisciplinary collaborative cancer pain nursing intervention. After three months of intervention, the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Medication Compliance Questionnaire (MCQ), Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Quality of Life Scale (FACT-G Chinese version) and Chronic Pain Self-efficacy Scale were resent to compare the differences in the observation indicators included evaluation of patients' social support degree, anxiety and depression score, quality of life scores and self-efficacy scores between two groups. The t-test and rank-sum test were used for statistic analysis. Results: No significant differences were found between groups for pain and medication compliance (P > 0.05). However, significant differences were found between groups in social support, life quality, chronic pain self-efficacy, and self-rating anxiety and depression index scores (P < 0.001). The intervention group report more social support, pain self-efficacy and less anxiety and depression (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The PRO-SELF pain symptoms in patients with a cancer pain management programme improved degree of social support, life quality, self-efficacy, anxiety, depression which is worthy of clinical application.
ABSTRACT
For heterojunction semiconductor photoelectrodes, efficient charge separation is localized in the junction-induced electric field region and charge transfer follows a band-to-band charge-transfer pathway. Here, we found that polaron states at the heterojunction interface have a function of storing and transferring electrons. As a successful demonstration, we verified that the polaron states (Ti3+OH) on TiO2 are not passivated when used to create a CdS/TiO2 heterojunction and function as an efficient pathway for massively capturing, storing, and transferring the electrons from conduction bands of both TiO2 and CdS, thus effectively enhancing the charge separation efficiency of the heterojunction photoanode. The electron throughput of polaron states remains a positive correlation with polaron state density. Interfacial electron transfer through the TiO2 surface polaron states has great potential application in the development of high-performance heterojunction devices based on TiO2.
