集束化护理在心内科危重患者压力性损伤管理中的应用效果

目的 探讨集束化护理在心内科危重患者压力性损伤管理中的应用效果。方法 选取2019年7～12月在心内科住院并病情危重的患者70例作为研究对象,分为对照组与观察组,每组各35例,其中对照组给予常规护理,观察组给予集束化护理,并比较分析两组患者压力性损伤的发生率、压力性损伤发生程度、压力性损伤发生时间以及压力性损伤护理满意度的情况。结果 集束化护理管理的观察组压疮发生率要低于常规护理的对照组的压力性损伤发生率(P0.05),观察组患者压力性损伤程度好于对照组(P0.05),观察组患者压力性损伤的发生时间长于对照组患者的压力性损伤发生时间(P0.05),观察组患者经过集束化护理后满意度要高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P=0.039)。结论 对心内科危重患者进行集束化护理管理措施,能够有效降低心内科患者压力性损伤的发生率及严重程度,同时还延缓了压力性损伤的发生时间,并提升了患者的护理满意度,具有较好的应用效果。     

The Lived Experiences of Patients with Head and Neck Cancer during Concurrent Chemoradiation Therapy Care Process

Purpose: An exploration of concurrent chemoradiation therapy care process from the perspective of patients with head and neck cancer can provide an insight to their lived experience and the difficulties they encounter in daily life towards a deeper understanding of this phenomenon to shape nursing service delivery. The aims of this study were to explore the lived experiences of patients with head and neck cancer while receiving concurrent chemoradiation therapy. Methods: Data were generated from individual in-depth interviews with fifteen head and neck cancer patients, according to the semi-structured interview guidelines, at the out-patient radiation oncology department, Chulabhorn Cancer Center, Bangkok, Thailand. Results: By using Graneheim and Lundman’s content analysis, three categories from the data analysis of patients with head and neck cancer receiving concurrent chemoradiation therapy were isolated: 1) overwhelming information, 2) unpleasant symptom cluster, and 3) strategy for adherence to treatment regimen. Conclusion: The findings help to provide a better understanding of the lived experiences of patients with head and neck cancer during concurrent chemoradiation therapy, in terms of their suffering from various unpleasant side effects and how these impact their life along the treatment journey. This perspective on the care process in these patients enhances the development of a nursing care model based on patient-centered care toward positive patient outcomes.     

The influence of processed total non-forward and non-motile sperm count on the outcome of artificial insemination with the husband’s semen

BackgroundArtificial insemination with the husband’s semen (AIH) is an economical and noninvasive method of infertility treatment. However, AIH’s pregnancy rate is much lower than in vitro fertilization (IVF) as its multiple and complex uncertainty factors. Semen quality has been one of the main factors which affect the pregnancy outcome of AIH.MethodsThe relevant parameters of 1,142 AIH cycles were retrospectively studied, including the general parameters and the semen quality parameters among clinical pregnancy, biochemical pregnancy, non-pregnancy group, age, infertility duration, infertility type, body mass index (BMI), cycle count, morphology in previously semen examination, and semen quality parameters on the day of AIH.ResultsThe statistically significant difference was only found on processed total non-forward and non-motile sperm count (N-TFMSC). The mean processed N-TFMSC in the biochemical pregnancy group was 6.37±4.27 million, significantly higher than the other two groups (vs. 4.40±3.15 million or vs. 4.48±3.60 million, P<0.05). The study was then divided into two groups according to processed N-TFMSC, Group 1 ≤5.0 million, and Group 2 >5.0 million. A statistical increase in biochemical pregnancy rate was observed when the processed N-TFMSC was >5.0 million (2.72% vs. 0.90%).ConclusionsProcessed N-TFMSC may be one of the independent factors on AIH’s outcome; it should be given equal attention the same as processed total forward motile sperm count (TFMSC).     

特殊涉核环境人员黄斑区厚度研究

目的 探讨特殊涉核环境人员与普通环境非涉核人员黄斑区厚度的差异性。方法 在某基地年度体检时为特殊涉核环境人员（简称涉核人员）与普通环境非涉核人员（简称非涉核人员）增加眼科光学相干断层扫描（Optical coherence tomography，OCT）检查，测量黄斑区厚度值，每人测量3次，按照体检表末尾编号随机抽取204例编号为奇数的涉核人员和105例非涉核人员，取3次测量值的平均值进行比较。结果 涉核人员与非涉核人员两组年龄均值为（29.40 ±6.16）岁、（28.92 ±6.71）岁，P = 0.5325，无统计学差异。两组人员视力均值：涉核人员为（1.04 ±0.03）（右），（1.05 ±0.03）（左），非涉核人员为（1.00 ±0.05）（右），（1.02 ±0.05）（左），P = 0.5006（右），P = 0.5962（左），无统计学差异。涉核人员黄斑区厚度均值：（212.9 ±1.3） μm（右），（205.5 ±1.1） μm（左），P < 0.0001，两者比较差异有统计学意义；非涉核人员黄斑区厚度均值：（223.2 ±2.5） μm（右），（211.7 ±2.4） μm（左），P < 0.0001，两者比较有统计学差异。对涉核人员与非涉核人员右眼及左眼黄斑区厚度均值进行比较，P = 0.0003（右），P = 0.0217（左），均有统计学差异。结论 非涉核人员黄斑区厚度要厚于涉核人员。与涉核人员特殊工作环境中较多使用LED光源可能存在关联；其他因素包括涉核、气压、氧分压及人员的心理状态需要进一步的试验进行证明。
