观察评判性护理干预对乳腺癌手术后患者疼痛和睡眠质量的影响

目的:观察评判性护理干预对乳腺癌手术后患者疼痛和睡眠质量的影响。方法:选取2019年1月至2020年5月蚌埠医学院第一附属医院肿瘤内科收治的乳腺癌手术患者126例作为研究对象,按照随机数字表法分为观察组和对照组,每组63例。对照组给予常规护理干预,观察组给予评判性护理干预。采用抑郁自评量表(Self-rating Depression Scale,SDS)、焦虑自评量表(Self-rating Anxiety Scale,SAS)比较2组患者干预前后抑郁、焦虑状态改善情况,采用匹兹堡睡眠指数量表(Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index,PSQI)比较2组患者睡眠质量变化,同时观察2组患者并发症发生率、中度、重度疼痛患者所占比例。结果:干预后,观察组SAS评分、SDS评分显著低于对照组,观察组PSQI评分显著低于对照组,患者中度、重度疼痛比例降低,并发症发生率降低,观察组的干预效果优于对照组,2组比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:对乳腺癌患者手术后采用评判性护理,可有效缓解患者手术后疼痛程度,改善患者睡眠质量,降低患者焦虑及抑郁情绪,降低并发症发生风险,值得推广使用。     

儿童1型糖尿病骨密度变化及影响因素分析

目的 测定儿童1型糖尿病(T1DM)患者骨密度(BMD),分析探讨骨密度变化的影响因素。方法 选取于2018年1月—2021年6月于我院收治的儿童1型糖尿病患者76例,收集性别、年龄、发病年龄、身高、体重、BMI、病程等基本资料,检测空腹血糖、空腹C肽、糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)、血碳酸氢根(HCO3-)、血清碱性磷酸酶(ALP),应用双能X线吸收测定法测定骨密度,获取Z值。结果 76例儿童1型糖尿病患者骨密度Z值为-0.93±2.14。HbA1c、病程与骨密度Z值呈负相关,差异具有统计学意义(分别B=-0.334,P<0.001;B=-0.191,P=0.017)。结论 儿童1型糖尿病患者骨密度低于健康儿童,血糖控制不良、病程长是1型糖尿病儿童骨密度减低的危险因素。     

The longitudinal associations between mental health indicators and digital media use and physical activity during adolescence: A latent class approach

IntroductionEvidence for the relationship between movement behaviors and mental health among adolescents is inconclusive. We aimed to identify profiles of digital media use (including related bedtime delay) and leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) in adolescence, and to examine whether preadolescent mental health predicted later behavior profiles.MethodsThis study included 1285 participants assessed at 11 years of age, and followed-up four years later. Participants completed the Self-Perception Profile for Children (SPPC), Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for Children (CES-DC) and Screen for Child Anxiety-Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) at baseline, and reported digital media use (active and passive use, gaming, and related bedtime delays) and LTPA at follow-up. A latent class approach was employed to identify behavior profiles, membership of which was then predicted with mental health and covariates, including baseline digital media use and LTPA.ResultsWe identified four behavior profiles: 1) high digital media use/moderate LTPA (20% of adolescents; 78% boys), 2) moderate digital media use/high LTPA (31%; 28%), 3) high digital media use/high LTPA (26%; 15%), 4) high passive digital media use and gaming/low LTPA (23%; 89%). After adjusting for covariates, higher LTPA and better perception of athletic competence at baseline associated with higher odds of belonging to any other profile than to the unhealthiest profile (4) at follow-up. Symptoms of depression or anxiety did not associate with later behavior profiles.ConclusionsLTPA and related self-esteem seem to be stronger predictors of future digital media use and LTPA behavior during adolescence than mental health symptoms alone.     

The association of nighttime sleep duration and quality with chronic kidney disease in middle-aged and older Chinese: a cohort study

ObjectiveThis cohort study aimed to assess the associations between sleep duration and quality with the risk of incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) in middle-aged and older Chinese.MethodsWe used the 2011 and 2015 surveys of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Nighttime sleep duration was categorized into five groups: ≤4, (4–6], (6–8], (8–10], and >10 h/night. Sleep quality was assessed by restless days in the past week (<1, 1–2, 3–4, and 5–7 days/week). Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the association between sleep duration and quality with incident CKD.ResultsA total of 11,339 participants free of CKD at baseline were included in this study. After four years follow-up, the incidence of CKD was 7.8%. There was a “U-shaped” association between sleep duration and risk of CKD. Compared to 6–8 h of nighttime sleep duration, those who slept ≤4 h/night (RR: 1.639, 95% CI: 1.287–2.087) or >10 h/night (RR: 2.342, 95% CI: 1.007–5.451) had increased risk of developing CKD after adjustment for confounders. Participants with 5–7 restless days per week had significantly increased risk of CKD (adjusted RR: 1.686, 95% CI: 1.352–2.102), compared to those who rarely or never had a restless sleep.ConclusionsExtreme nighttime sleep duration and poor sleep quality were associated with increased risk of CKD in middle-aged and older Chinese. Obtaining an optimal nighttime sleep duration and better sleep quality might reduce the risk of CKD.     

Obstructive sleep apnoea in adult patients post-tonsillectomy

BackgroundThe impact of removing the upper airway lymphoid tissue and in particular, tonsillectomy, in adults with OSA has not been demonstrated in large populations.AimsTo compare the severity of OSA and the prevalence of cardiovascular, metabolic and respiratory co-morbidities between patients with OSA who had undergone previous tonsillectomy and those who had not.MethodsThe 19,711 participants in this study came from the European sleep apnea database (ESADA) which comprises data from unselected adult patients aged 18–80 years with a history of symptoms suggestive of OSA referred to sleep centers throughout Europe.ResultsThere were no differences between the two groups in terms of sex ratio and age (146 patients with previous tonsillectomy vs. 19565 patients without). Patients who had undergone tonsillectomy had a lower body mass index (29.3 ± 5.2 kg/m² vs 32.2 ± 6.6 kg/m², p < 0.001), lower subjective sleep latency (17.1 ± 17.8 min vs 25.5 ± 30.4 min, p = 0.001), lower ODI (15.7 ± 18.3 events/hour vs 30.7 ± 26.1 events/hour, p < 0.001), and SpO₂<90% time during sleep (21.8 ± 47.5 min vs 52.6 ± 80.8 min, p < 0.001). OSA patients with tonsillectomy had a lower prevalence of Type II diabetes mellitus (p = 0.001), hypertension (p < 0.001) and a higher prevalence of hyperlipidemia (p < 0.001) and were less likely to be commenced on CPAP (p < 0.001).ConclusionIn a large population of almost 20,000 OSA patients from across Europe, patients who had undergone tonsillectomy presented with less severe OSA at time of diagnosis, and had a lower prevalence of Type II diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular co-morbidities.
