A systematic review of post-stroke fatigue measurement scale based on COSMIN guidelines.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the methodological quality and measurement attribute quality of the post-stroke fatigue measurement scale, so as to provide some basis for the clinical application and promotion of related scales. Methods: The Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, the Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, the China Science and Technology Journal Database, the Chinese Medical Journal Full-text Database, the Chinese Biology Medicine, PubMed, Embase, Medline, the Cochrane Library, the Web of Science, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases were searched for literature on the post-stroke fatigue measurement scale up to June 2022. Literature screening and data extraction were carried out independently by two researchers, and in the case of disagreement, discussions were held with a third investigator to reach an agreement, and the COSMIN checklist and criteria were used to systematically evaluate the attributes of the measurement scale. Results: A total of 17 studies were included, involving 10 post-stroke fatigue measurement scales. The content validity of FSS-7, FACIT-F, NRS-FRS, and MFI-20 was "not mentioned," and the remaining scales were "uncertain." In terms of construct validity, MFS was "adequate"; FSS-7, FACIT-F, and NRS-FRS were "not mentioned"; and the remaining scales were "uncertain." In terms of internal consistency, NRS-FRS was "not mentioned"; FSS and MFS were "adequate"; and the remaining scales were "uncertain." In terms of hypothesis testing, CIS and FACIT-F were "not mentioned," NRS-FRS was "adequate," and the remaining scales were "uncertain." The stability of FSS-7, CIS, FACIT-F, and MFI-20 was "not mentioned," and the remaining scales were "adequate." The cross-cultural validity of FSS-7 was "adequate," and the remaining scales were "not mentioned." All 10 scales were given a recommendation grade of "B". Conclusion: For the time being, the FSS can be recommended to measure post-stroke fatigue, but it still needs to be tested for more relevant measurement properties in order to gain more support from high-quality evidence. For a more comprehensive assessment of post-stroke fatigue, the FIS, FAS, and NFI-stroke should perhaps be considered, as the FSS is a one-dimensional scale that can only measure physical fatigue in patients; however, these scales also need to be tested for more relevant measurement properties to verify their clinical applicability.

SCREENING AND MANAGEMENT OF PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS IN PATIENTS WITH WILSON'S DISEASE.

Hepatomegaly is an autosomal recessive condition with an estimated 1:30000 cases worldwide. Because the symptoms and indicators of hepatomegaly mental disease are poorly understood, the ailment is frequently misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed, which causes irreparable nerve damage in the patient's later years. To comprehensively review the research and offer a list of treatments for treating mental illnesses in hepatomegaly. PRISMA guidelines were used to deliver the review. Evidence-based nursing standards were used to design research questions and tactics. In order to find information on hepatomegaly clinical guidelines, systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and expert consensus on the management of mental disorders in patients with nuclear degeneration, all databases of CINAHL, Up to Date, the Cochrane Library, Pubmed(Medline), Embase, Wiley, JBI, International Guidelines.com, Wanfang, and CNKI were searched. This investigation covered a total of 14 publications, and 41 best evidence items, encompassing screening, evaluation, clinical symptoms, pharmaceutical therapies, non-pharmacological interventions, and health education, were retrieved. It is recommended that healthcare professionals evaluate our cultural characteristics, medical resources, and patient's subjective and objective conditions before clinical application, apply the evidence in a targeted manner to improve patient's health outcomes, and reduce readmissions. The 41 best evidence for patients with hepatomegaly can guide the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with hepatomegaly and psychiatric disorders.

Caregiving experiences of stroke caregivers: A systematic review and meta-synthesis of qualitative studies.

BACKGROUND: Caregivers of stroke patients have demanding caregiving tasks and roles, and they face multiple challenges and a variety of needs in their caregiving process. This study aimed to systematically integrate and evaluate qualitative research data to understand the care experiences of caregivers of stroke patients and to provide them with targeted assistance. METHODS: We critically assessed the study using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Assessment Checklist for Qualitative Research. Extraction, summarization and meta-synthesis of qualitative data. Qualitative studies related to this study were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Science and Technology Journal Database, China Biomedical Literature Database, and Wanfang Database by computer from the establishment of the database to February 2022. The method of tracing citations was used to find other articles that might be included to ensure the comprehensiveness of the search articles. RESULTS: A total of 11 studies, including 167 participants, were included, and 40 research results were extracted, summarized into 8 new categories, and formed 2 meta-themes. Meta-theme 1: Caregivers had emotional struggles during caregiving but were still able to provide compassion and care for patients through positive coping. Meta-theme 2: caregivers faced many difficulties in the care process and were eager for support. CONCLUSIONS: Caregiving is a long and heavy process. Society, medical institutions, and families should pay full attention to the feelings and needs of stroke caregivers in the care process and provide appropriate support for them.

The relation between body mass index and primary dysmenorrhea: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

INTRODUCTION: The relation between body mass index (BMI) categories and the occurrence of primary dysmenorrhea has been investigated, but the results of these studies are inconsistent and controversial. The aim of our study was to systematically review the literature and investigate the association between each category of BMI and the occurrence of primary dysmenorrhea. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies related to BMI and primary dysmenorrhea. Eleven databases-PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Scopus, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database (VIP), Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), and Wanfang database-were systematically searched from inception to March 2022. We used the 11 items recommended by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to assess the quality of included studies. The Q test and the I2 test were used to evaluate the heterogeneity among studies. Odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were pooled by fixed-effects models or random-effects models. Stata software version 16.0 was used to complete the statistical analyses. RESULTS: A total of 4181 articles were collected from the database, and 12 studies were included based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of 29 647 participants were included in the study, with a mean baseline age of 17-45 years. All included literature was published between 2017 and 2021 and was conducted in six countries. Eleven included studies were of medium quality and one included study was of high quality. Being underweight may be related to the occurrence of primary dysmenorrhea (12 studies, n = 6545, OR 1.43, 95% CI 1.18-1.73). Being overweight (12 studies, n = 3098) and obesity (four studies, n = 94) may not be associated with the development of primary dysmenorrhea. CONCLUSIONS: Being underweight may increase the risk of the occurrence of primary dysmenorrhea, whereas overweight and obesity might not be associated with primary dysmenorrhea. Due to the limitations of the meta-analysis, more studies are needed to investigate the relation between each category of BMI and the occurrence of primary dysmenorrhea. To maintain a balanced diet and an appropriate lifestyle is beneficial for people to have the normal category of BMI and live a healthy life, which may play a role in preventing the occurrence of primary dysmenorrhea.

Home-based cardiac rehabilitation: A review of bibliometric studies and visual analysis of CiteSpace (2012-2021).

Home-based cardiac rehabilitation has been a major area in cardiac rehabilitation research for a long time. However, there are few systematic studies in this field using bibliometric analysis. We collected articles and reviews for home-based cardiac rehabilitation from the Web of Science Core Collection. Our objectives were to perform a bibliometric analysis and visualization study to determine hotspots and trends of home-based cardiac rehabilitation, identify collaboration and influence among authors, countries, institutions, and journals, and assess the knowledge base to develop clinical research in the future. This study will provide a valuable reference for researchers concerned with HBCR.
