Objective:To deeply explore the experience and feelings of postpartum weight management in primiparas, so as to provide reference for optimizing postpartum management strategies.Methods:This study was qualitative. From May to June 2023, purposive sampling was used to select 15 primiparas who underwent postpartum follow-up at the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University as the research subject for semi-structured interviews. The Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used to analyze data and extract themes.Results:The lived experience of postpartum weight management in primiparas was extracted into three themes and 11 sub-themes, including cognitive differences in postpartum weight management (awareness of importance and adoption of positive behaviors, neglect and avoidance), facilitators and obstacles in weight management (facilitators included self-expectations, positive evaluations and feedback from others, beneficial experiences, while obstacles included eating and exercise behavior disorders, physical symptom interference, role conflicts, negative emotions), and a desire to receive support from multiple aspects (continuous information support from medical institutions, support and acceptance from families and society) .Conclusions:Primiparas have a relatively insufficient cognition of postpartum weight management, and the weight management process is influenced by many factors. Medical and nursing staff should adopt effective strategies to correct cognitive biases in maternal weight management, make full use of facilitators, actively respond to obstacles, and pay attention to multiple sources of support, so as to promote postpartum recovery.

Objective:To construct a thirst management scheme for adult surgical patients and provide practical guidance for nurses to carry out perioperative thirst management.Methods:From April to May 2023, literature search was conducted to extract domestic and foreign evidence related to thirst, and after group discussion, a preliminary management plan for thirst in adult surgical patients was constructed. From May to June 2023, 18 experts were selected for two rounds of Delphi expert letter consultation, and a formal plan for thirst management of adult surgical patients was discussed and revised according to expert opinions.Results:A total of 18 experts completed two rounds of expert letter consultation. The effective recovery rate of the questionnaire was 100.00% and the expert authority coefficient was 0.915. The coefficients of variation for the importance and operability scores of the first round of expert inquiry were 0.05-0.25 and 0.06-0.42, respectively, and the Kendall's harmony coefficients were 0.224 and 0.184 ( P<0.01). The coefficients of variation for the importance and operability scores of the second round of inquiry were 0.05-0.23 and 0.06-0.24, respectively, and the Kendall's harmony coefficients were 0.166 and 0.154 ( P<0.01). The final thirst management scheme included five primary items (preliminary preparation, identification and evaluation, preoperative relief strategies, postoperative intervention measures and effectiveness evaluation) and 23 secondary items. Conclusions:The thirst management scheme for adult surgical patients constructed in this study is scientific and comprehensive, which can provide a reference basis for clinical practice.
