ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) often experience depression, and some may require magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diagnosis, which can lead to MRI failure due to claustrophobia. AIM: To explore the value of psychological interventions in successfully completing functional MRI scans of the brain for PD-related depression. METHODS: Ninety-six patients with PD were randomly divided into two groups. The control group (47 patients) received general care, and the experimental group (49 patients) received general care combined with psychological care. The Unified Parkinson's Disease Assessment Scale (UPDRS), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS)-15 scores, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and MRI-Anxiety Questionnaire (MRI-AQ) scores before and after the scan were recorded. The completion rate of magnetic resonance (MR) scanning, scanning duration, and image quality scores were recorded. RESULTS: Before scanning, no statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and UPDRS, HAMD, GDS-15, and MRI-AQ scores. After scanning, systolic blood pressure, MRI-AQ score, and scan time in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group, whereas the scan completion rate and image quality score were significantly higher than those in the control group. CONCLUSION: Psychological nursing interventions are helpful in alleviating PD-related depression and assessing MR depression scores and may be helpful in the successful completion of functional MRI scans of the patient's brain.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Schizophrenia is a common and severe mental disorder characterized by severe thought disturbances, hallucinations, delusions, and emotional instability. For some patients, conventional treatment methods may not effectively alleviate symptoms, necessitating the use of alternative therapeutic approaches. Modified electroconvulsive therapy (MECT) is an effective treatment modality for schizophrenia, inducing anti-depressive and antipsychotic effects through the stimulation of brain electrical activity. AIM: To explore the impact of psychological nursing intervention (PNI) before and after MECT on the efficacy and quality of life of patients with schizophrenia. METHODS: Eighty patients with schizophrenia who received MECT treatment from 2021 to 2023 were randomly divided into two groups: The intervention group (n = 40) and the control group (n = 40). The intervention group received PNI before and after MECT, while the control group received routine nursing care. The efficacy of MECT was evaluated by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and the Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI) before and after the treatment. The quality of life was assessed by the Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) after the treatment. RESUITS: The intervention group had significantly lower scores of PANSS and CGI than the control group after the treatment (P < 0.05). The intervention group also had significantly higher scores of SF-36 than the control group in all domains except physical functioning (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: PNI before and after MECT can improve the efficacy and quality of life of patients with schizophrenia. It is suggested that nurses should provide individualized and comprehensive psychological care for patients undergoing MECT to enhance their recovery and well-being.

ABSTRACT

Objective: This study aimed to explore the benefit finding (BF) profiles among informal caregivers of patients with lung cancer, identify demographic and disease characteristics, and analyze differences in caregiving ability between profiles. Methods: This cross-sectional study utilized convenience sampling to select 272 informal caregivers of patients with lung cancer from a tertiary care hospital in Guangzhou, China. The research instruments used included the Demographic and Disease Characteristics Questionnaire, the revised version of the BF Scale, and the Chinese version of the Family Caregiver Task Inventory. Data analysis was performed using latent profile analysis, chi-square test, Fisher's exact probability test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and multivariate logistic regression. Results: (1) BF can be divided into three profiles: "high benefit-family and personal growth" (Profile 1, 7.7%), "moderate benefit-unclear perception" (Profile 2, 44.9%), and "low benefit-coping ability deficient" (Profile 3, 47.4%). (2) Having a cocaregiver and a disease duration of 6-12 months were more likely to belong to Profile 1; caregivers of patients aged 40-60 years tended to belong to Profile 2; caregivers of older patients with disease duration > 12 months and clinical stage II or III were more likely to belong to Profile 3. (3) There were significant differences in the total score of caregiving ability and the scores of each dimension among the different BF profiles (P < 0.001), and the caregiving abilities of Profile 1 and Profile 2 were higher than those of Profile 3. Conclusions: There was heterogeneity in BF among informal caregivers of patients with lung cancer. Healthcare professionals can identify the key profiles of lung-cancer caregivers based on characteristics such as age, clinical stage, disease duration, and cocaregiver status and enhance their caregiving ability through targeted nursing guidance.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: As a common psychological problem among older adults, fear of falling was found to have a wide range prevalence in different studies. However, the global prevalence of it was unknown and a lack of the large sample confirmed its risk factors. OBJECTIVES: To report the global prevalence of fear of falling and to explore its risk factors among older adults for further developing precise interventions to systematically manage FOF. DESIGN: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted by PRISMA guidelines. METHODS: Searches were conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library and the manual search in August 20, 2022, updated to September 2, 2023. Observational studies published in English were included and two researchers independently screened and extracted the data. Fixed or random effects mode was used to estimate the pooled prevalence of and risk factors for fear of falling. Heterogeneity resources were analyzed by subgroup and sensitivity analysis. Publication bias was assessed through funnel plots, Egger's test and Begg's test. RESULTS: A total of the 153 studies with 200,033 participants from 38 countries worldwide were identified. The global prevalence of fear of falling was 49.60%, ranging from 6.96-90.34%. Subgroup analysis found the estimates pooled prevalence of it was higher in developing countries (53.40%) than in developed countries (46.7%), and higher in patients (52.20%) than in community residents (48.40%). In addition, twenty-eight risk factors were found a significant associations with fear of falling, mainly including demographic characteristics, physical function, chronic diseases and mental problems. CONCLUSION: The global prevalence of FOF was high, especially in developing countries and in patients. Demographic characteristics, Physical function, chronic diseases and mental problems were a significant association with FOF. Policy-makers, health care providers and government officials should comprehensively evaluate these risk factors and formulate precise intervention measures to reduce FOF. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The study was registered in the International Database of Prospectively Registered Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO): CRD42022358031.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical effect of pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training combined with psychological nursing intervention in the treatment of intractable type ⅢB prostatitis. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data on 51 cases of intractable type ⅢB prostatitis treated from October 2020 to October 2022, which were randomly assigned to receive Tamsulosin medication (the control group, n = 24) or pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training and psychological nursing in addition (the intervention group, n = 27), all for 8 weeks. We obtained NIH-CPSI, IIEF-5, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) scores, Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores, the level of lecithin and the count of leukocytes in the prostatic fluid and the incidence of adverse events, and compared them between the two groups of patients before and after treatment. RESULTS: The total effectiveness rate was significantly higher in the intervention than in the control group (88.9% vs 62.5%, P < 0.05). Compared with the baseline, the NIH-CPSI, IIEF-5, SAS and SDS scores and the lecithin level were remarkably increased in both groups after treatment (P < 0.05), even more significantly in the intervention group than in the control (P < 0.05). No statistically significant difference was observed in the count of leukocytes before and after treatment (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: On the basis of Tamsulosin medication, the application of pelvic floor rehabilitation training combined with psychological care can significantly enhance the therapeutic effect on type IIIB prostatitis, effectively relieve prostatitis pain, improve erectile function, lessen anxiety and depression symptoms, increase the level of lecithosomes and promote the recovery of prostatic function.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: This study investigated levels of anxiety and sleep quality and their association with physical activity in junior high school students under quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also tests the effectiveness of physical activity and psychological nursing interventions in alleviating anxiety 'and improving sleep quality. Methods: In July 2021, 14,000 home-quarantined junior high school students in Yangzhou City (China) were selected by random cluster sampling to complete an online survey. We then selected 95 junior high school students for an 8-week longitudinal experiment exploring whether the two types of intervention made positive contributions to students' anxiety, sleep quality, and physical activity. Results: The cross-sectional study revealed that physical activity was significantly related to anxiety and sleep quality. In the longitudinal study, students who underwent the exercise intervention or the psychological nursing intervention experienced significant improvement in their anxiety levels. The exercise intervention also promoted improved sleep quality. Overall, the exercise intervention was more effective than the psychological nursing intervention in reducing levels of anxiety and sleep disorders. Conclusion: During the epidemic period, junior high school students should be encouraged to spend more time engaging in physical activity, and their sleep quality and anxiety shouldbe focused on.

ABSTRACT

AIMS: This study aimed to measure sleep quality and its possible association with fear of progression (FOP) in patients with chronic heart failure (HF). DESIGN: A cross-sectional study. METHODS: A total of 254 patients with chronic HF were recruited from two tertiary hospitals in China. The sociodemographic and clinical data of participants were collected using a general information questionnaire. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form were used to evaluate sleep quality over 1 month and FOP. Pearson correlation and hierarchical regression were conducted to analyse the relationship between sleep quality and FOP. RESULTS: Of all participants, 85.8% had poor sleep quality, with a mean score of 12.3 ± 4.2 (possible score could be 0 to 21). The severity of FOP was positively correlated with poor sleep quality. HF hospitalization in the past year, numbers of HF drugs, monthly income and total score of FOP were strong predictors of decreased sleep quality, accounting for 24.2% of the variance in the sleep quality of these patients. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with chronic HF generally reported poor sleep quality, which should be highly concerned for medical workers. Alleviating FOP as a therapeutic strategy may improve sleep quality. IMPACT: It is urgent to raise clinical attention that Chinese patients with chronic HF have poor sleep quality, which is not just due to the symptoms of HF itself. FOP is an important psychological factor influencing sleep quality in patients with chronic HF, which has not been explored in China. This study provides a new perspective on targeted interventions for poor sleep quality in chronic HF. PATIENT AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT: No patient or public involvement.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Little has been written on the availability of specialist level 2 supervision groups to support community practitioners regarding the emotional components of their palliative and end-of-life caseload. Adapted level 2 groups (AL2Gs) have been piloted in three community teams in the NHS to address this. AIMS: This study aimed to evaluate whether access to AL2Gs benefited community palliative and end-of-life practitioners at three sites. The outcomes for those who attended and those unable to attend were considered. FINDINGS: Attendees found AL2Gs beneficial, reporting better confidence and wellbeing, plus a sense of containment through group cohesion and trust in the facilitators and fellow AL2G members. Most would recommend the groups to all staff working in community palliative care. Practitioners who were not able to attend relied on informal and ad-hoc peer support, and had concerns about their skills in managing patients' psychological needs. CONCLUSION: Community nurses benefit from attending AL2Gs to support them with their palliative care/end-of-life caseloads. It is recommended that all community staff involved in this type of care have access to regular clinical supervision, especially in a group format.

ABSTRACT

AIM: We tested key hypotheses derived from the Cultural Determinants of Trauma Recovery Theory (CDTR) with an American sample. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study using anonymous online surveys. METHODS: This study was conducted with 225 American survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) between August to November 2019. Demographics, distress (depression: PHQ8; PTSD: PCL-5), mental health service utilization (counselling and medication), sense of coherence (SOC), internal barriers to help-seeking (shame, frozen and problem management subscales: BHS-TR Internal) and the GBV healing (GBV-Heal) were used. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was conducted to test the hypotheses. RESULTS: The final SEM model showed that the relationship between distress and mental health service utilization was not mediated by internal help-seeking barriers; the relationship between distress and trauma healing was partially mediated by internal help-seeking barriers; the relationship between internal help-seeking barriers and trauma healing was partially mediated by SOC; mental health service utilization was not significantly associated with trauma healing. Overall, the relationship between distress and trauma healing was partially mediated by internal help-seeking barriers and SOC. CONCLUSIONS: This study confirmed some hypothetical pathways between distress and trauma healing. Further research with larger and international samples should be necessary to test the overall CDTR and compare groups. IMPACT: This study can help us focus on psychological interventions that enhance meaning and mitigate internal help-seeking barriers to promote holistic trauma recovery. Public and public contribution: The sample was gathered from a clinical population registry that alerts patients of potential research opportunities.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the influence of collaborative psychological nursing on the quality of life and psychology of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients and their caregivers.Methods:Eighty NHL patients and 80 caregivers in the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from February 2018 to February 2019 were selected, and the patients were divided into observation group 1 (40 patients) and control group 1 (40 patients) according to the random number table method, and the caregivers were divided into observation group 2 (40 caregivers) and control group 2 (40 caregivers). Control group 1 was given routine nursing, and observation group 1 was given collaborative psychological nursing on the basis of routine nursing. The World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL)-BREF was used to compare the quality of life of two groups of patients and two groups of caregivers. Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were used to compare the psychological states of two groups of patients and two groups of caregivers.Results:Compared with control group 1, the observation group 1 had lower SAS and SDS scores after nursing [(40±6) points vs. (44±6) points, t = 5.12, P = 0.014; (46±4) points vs. (52±4) points, t = 3.22, P = 0.031] and higher WHOQOL-BREF scores [(87.2±2.1) points vs. (65.0±2.5) points, t = 8.55, P = 0.018]. Compared with control group 2, the observation group 2 had lower SAS and SDS scores after nursing [(37±4) points vs. (40±4) points, t = 3.21, P = 0.021; (44±4) points vs. (49±3) points, t = 2.37, P = 0.032] and higher WHOQOL-BREF scores [(84.0±2.5) points vs. (79.5±2.7) points, t = 3.28, P=0.015]. Compared with before nursing, SAS and SDS of each group decreased after nursing, while WHOQOL-BREF scores increased, and all differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:Collaborative psychological nursing can effectively improve the quality of life and mental resilience score of NHL patients and their caregivers.

ABSTRACT

Background: In extant literature, the concept of social isolation has been explored primarily in the context of older adults. However, people with cancer may also experience social isolation, and there is a need for increased clarity regarding this phenomenon in this population. Objective: To conceptualize social isolation in adult cancer care. Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, CINAHL, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, and the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database were systematically searched using the key terms "cancer," "social isolation," "social alienation," and "social exclusion" for studies (from the earliest date available to June 2022). The main disciplines involved were psychology, nursing, medicine, and public health. Rodgers' evolutionary concept analysis was employed to clarify the antecedents, attributes, and consequences of social isolation in adults with cancer. Results: A total of 60 eligible articles were reviewed entirely and the main findings were categorized into antecedents, attributes, and consequences. The antecedents of social isolation were classified into six categories: cancer-related physiological changes, cognitive beliefs, psychological wellbeing, unsatisfactory social supports or relationships, restrictions associated with receiving treatments, and social-level barriers. Attributes were characterized according to behavior or social avoidance and negative affective experiences, while consequences were attributed to low therapeutic compliance, poor health conditions and mental health problems, and low quality of life. White's heuristic model is a potential theoretical context applicable to social isolation in adults with cancer. Conclusion: This concept analysis provides a basis for developing multidimensional assessment tools and measures to alleviate social isolation in adults with cancer, a complex and varied phenomenon. However, while this review contributes to the current knowledge on social isolation in people with cancer, studies should further investigate the relationships among attributes associated with social isolation.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Patients' lack of correct understanding of cardiovascular disease and interventional therapy is often accompanied by varying degrees of fear, depression and anxiety. Negative emotion will affect the hemodynamic fluctuation of patients undergoing interventional surgery, which is not conducive to the smooth and safe operation of interventional surgery. Therefore, it is very important to implement effective nursing intervention in the operating room. AIM: To explore the intervention effect of motivational psychological nursing combined with programmed nursing on compliance and bad mood of patients in interventional operating room. METHODS: A total of 98 patients in the interventional operating room of our hospital from October 2019 to March 2021 were randomly divided into study group (n = 49) and control group (n = 49). The control group took routine nursing. However, the study group took motivational psychological nursing combined with procedural nursing on the basis of the control group. Statistics were made on rehabilitation compliance, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule of bad mood, Simplified Coping Styles Questionnaire score of coping style and satisfaction of intervention between the two groups before and after intervention. RESULTS: The rehabilitation compliance of the study group (95.92%) was higher than that of the control group (81.63%) (P < 0.05). After intervention, the scores of upset, fear, irritability, tension and fear in the study group were respectively, which were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). After intervention, the score of positive coping in the study group was higher than that in the control group. However, the score of negative coping in the study group was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The intervention satisfaction of the study group (93.88%) was higher than that of the control group (79.59%) (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The intervention of motivational psychological nursing combined with procedural nursing can improve the rehabilitation compliance, and alleviate the bad mood. In addition, it can change their coping style to the disease, and the patients are more satisfied with the nursing work.

ABSTRACT

Background: During the pandemic and with the growing shortage of nurses, the problem of how to retain existing nurses was of paramount importance. However, there is limited evidence on the relationship between nurses' self-acceptance and intention to stay. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing nurses' intention to stay at work, and explore the relationship between self-acceptance and their intention to stay. Methods: Convenience sampling was conducted to select nurses who worked in a clinical environment during June 2020, in hospitals in Shandong Province, China. Self-designed basic information and two questionnaires, namely, the "self-acceptance questionnaire" and "intention to stay" were adopted. Mean, median, related analysis, and regression analysis were adopted to describe the relationship of self-acceptance and intention to stay on part of Chinese nurses. Results: A total of 1,015 clinical nurses participated in the survey. The mean score of intention to stay among participants was 22.00. The multiple regression analysis revealed various factors, such as age, family support the work, interest in work, job suitability, type of employment, professional level, weekly working hours, working department and self-acceptance influenced the nurse's intention to stay (ß range from -1.506 to 2.249). Conclusion: Our findings identified several factors that are significantly related to and impact the level of intention to stay among clinical nurses.

ABSTRACT

AIMS: To investigate the status and influencing factors of illness uncertainty among patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the mobile cabin hospital. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study. METHODS: 114 patients with COVID-19 admitted to a mobile cabin hospital in Wuhan, Hubei Province, in February 2020 were enrolled by a convenience sampling method. The Chinese version of the Mishel Illness Uncertainty Scale (MUIS) was used to assess patients' degree of illness uncertainty, and multiple regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors. RESULTS: The average total score of MUIS (Chinese version) was 52.22 ± 12.51, indicating a moderate level of illness uncertainty. The dimension unpredictability turned out to have the highest mean score: 2.88 ± 0.90. The multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that female (t = 2.462, p = .015), monthly family income not less than RMB 10,000 (t = -2.095, p = .039), and disease duration of 28 days or more (t = 2.249, p = .027) were independent influencing factors of illness uncertainty. CONCLUSION: Patients with COVID-19 are at a moderate level of illness uncertainty. Medical staffs should pay more attention to female patients, patients with lower monthly family income, patients with the prolonged disease, and take targeted interventions to help them reduce illness uncertainty. IMPACT: Facing the brand new and unknown infectious disease, patients confirmed of COVID-19 suffer from immense physical and psychological stress, where illness uncertainty is a major stressor that troubles patients. The present study surveys illness uncertainty among patients with COVID-19 in the mobile cabin hospital with results revealing a moderate level. Study results will benefit nurses in any setting where care for patients with COVID-19 is provided, public policymakers and future researchers.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To construct a training program to improve the psychological nursing ability of clinical nurses, so as to provide a strong guarantee for the clinical development of psychological nursing.Methods:By consulting the literature, related books and investigating the curriculum of nursing colleges, the first draft of the training program was drawn up. Four departments of Cardiovascular Medicine of the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from May to August 2019 were recruited and 64 nurses were trained. After the training, the training program was revised again. After two rounds of training and modification, the second draft of the training program was formed, and then Delphi method was used to conduct two rounds of expert consultation on the second draft of the training program.Results:The positive coefficients of experts in the two rounds of consultation were 94.1% and 96.7% respectively, and the average authority coefficient of experts was 0.81. The final training contents included 5 first-class indexes, 18 second-class indexes and 45 third-class indexes. The coefficient of variation of each item of training contents was 0.06-0.23, and the coefficient of variation of training methods and training duration of each part was 0.06-0.17.Conclusions:The training program is scientific, reasonable, detailed and practical, which can provide guarantee for improving the psychological nursing ability of clinical nurses.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the occurrence of anxiety and depression in elderly patients and to explore the effect of a psychological nursing intervention program based on the "Timing it Right" framework on the anxiety, depression, and self-efficacy among elderly patients. METHODS: 135 elderly patients admitted to our hospital were divided into two groups. The 69 patients in the experimental group underwent systematic psychological intervention, and the 66 patients in the control group were given only general psychological support. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the General Self Efficacy Scale (GSEs) scores were used to assess the effect of the psychological intervention program on the elderly patients. RESULTS: The psychological nursing intervention effect of the two groups after the intervention was improved compared with before the intervention (P < 0.05), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scores were lower in the experimental group than they were in the control group after the psychological intervention. The general self-efficacy scale scores of the experimental group were significantly improved after the intervention, and the scores in the experimental group were much higher than the scores in the control group after the intervention (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The incidences of anxiety and depression were higher in the elderly patients, and a psychological intervention program based on the "Timing it Right" framework can effectively reduce the negative emotions of anxiety and depression, and enhance the sense of self-efficacy.
