Objective To investigate the status quo and influencing factors of compassion fatigue among nurses in psychiatric hospitals. Methods The self-designed demographic questionnaire,compassion fatigue scale,occupation-al identity assessment scale and social support rating scale were employed to investigate 480 nurses in five psychi-atric hospitals from two provinces. Results The scores for each dimension in compassion fatigue scale were as fol-lows:compassion satisfaction(32.26±5.34),occupational burnout(27.67±4.34),and secondary traumatic stress(23.72± 4.41).Age,position,individual monthly income,health status,job satisfaction and occupational identity had significant influence on compassion satisfaction(F=19.351,P<0.001). Individual monthly income,health status,job satisfaction and occupational identity had significant influence on occupation burnout (F=35.705,P<0.001). Individual monthly income, personality and social support had significant influence on secondary traumatic stress(F=17.203,P<0.001). Conclusion Nurses in psychiatric hospitals had severe compassion fatigue and this status was influenced by multiple reasons. Nursing managers should pay great attention to nurses with low monthly income,poor health,low job satisfaction, weak social support and low occupational identity,and take effective measures to decrease compassion fatigue of nurses.

Objective To investigate the status of self-management of elderly patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) in Xinjiang Region,and to explore the effects of different demographic factors on self-management.Methods A total of 704 patients with chronic heart failure were randomly selected from Urumqi,Kashgar,Khotan,Changji,Shihezi,Yili Hazakh in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region via convenience sampling method and were investigated using heart failure self-management scale.Results The total score of self-management of chronic heart failure elderly patients was(47.6±11.1) and scoring rate was 59.5%.There were statistically significant differences(P<0.01) in self-management score among patients with different ethnicity,religion,self-care ability,per capita income.The influencing factors of self-management were self-care ability,NYHA class and per capita monthly income(P<0.05).Conclusion The overall level of self-management of elderly patients with chronic heart failure in Xinjiang Region is low,and self-management is affected by self-care ability,NYHA class and per capita monthly income.Tailored culture-based education should be provided to improve patients' self-management.

The most common manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and the global incidence of IBD is on the rise. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is advantageous in the treatment of IBD. IBD, with TCM names based on clinical symptoms, mostly belongs to recurrent dysentery, long dysentery, diarrhea, dysentery, bowel, and other categories. In TCM pathogenesis of IBD, spleen deficiency and exuberant dampness predominate in the whole course of the disease. Since the lung is associated with the large intestine and the lung Qi and spleen Qi are interconnected, the lung Qi and spleen Qi are deficient and the dampness and heat accumulate internally, which caused collateral obstruction by stagnant blood and the development of IBD. From the perspective of "associating lung with large intestine",it is believed that the main mechanism of IBD is the Qi imbalance and abnormal metabolism of fluids in the lung and the intestine,and the nutrient-Yin injury of the lung and the intestine. According to the chronic, recurrent, and diffuse pathogenesis characteristics and main clinical manifestations of IBD, IBD is closely related to the lung and the intestine. In terms of therapeutic principles, IBD can be treated by tonifying the spleen and replenishing the lung, which highlights the treatment of the intestine from the lung. To be specific, in time of tonifying the spleen and removing dampness, the intestine is regulated by tonifying the spleen and replenishing the lung. Shenling Baizhusan, a commonly used classical prescription for IBD, is mainly potent in replenishing Qi, invigorating the spleen, draining dampness, checking diarrhea, and especially "reinforcing earth to generate metal". It can enhance the function of the lung through "reinforcing earth to generate metal", which in turn regulates the intestine and promote the improvement of IBD. The present study clarified the mechanism of Shenling Baizhusan in regulating the intestine by tonifying the spleen and replenishing the lung. On the basis of modern research, its therapeutic effect on IBD was achieved through multiple links, such as regulation of the level of inflammatory factors, immunoregulation, barrier function improvement via mucosal repair, and intestinal flora. The findings of this study are expected to provide new ideas for the regulation of the lung-spleen-large intestine axis in the syndrome differentiation and treatment of IBD and subsequent experimental research.

AIM:To observe the different effects of three intervention approaches on related biometric parameters in children diagnosed with latent myopia, and to investigate different control effects on children with latent myopia.METHODS:Prospective cohort concurrent controls trials. A total of 60 cases(120 eyes)of children who were initially diagnosed as latent myopia and untreated previously at ophthalmology clinic of the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical University from December 2021 to May 2022 were recruited. They were randomly divided into three groups, with 20 cases(40 eyes)in group A treated with 0.01% Atropine eye drops, 20 cases(40 eyes)in group B treated with vision training with a flip chart, and 20 cases(40 eyes)in group C treated with esculin and digitalis glycosides eye drops. They were followed-up for 12 mo, and the spherical equivalent(SE), axial length(AL), corneal curvature(CC), accommodative facility(AF), and macular retinal thickness of the three groups of children were compared at 6 and 12 mo post-intervention.RESULTS:Significant statistical differences were found in AL, SE and AF of the three groups of children at 6 and 12 mo(all P<0.05), and there were significant differences between 6 and 12 mo after the intervention(all P<0.05). SE and AF in the group B and C were higher than those in the group A(all P<0.05). However, there were no significant differences in CC before and after the intervention(all P>0.05). The retinal thickness of the temporal, nasal, inferior and macular fovea of the outer ring at 6 and 12 mo after intervention in the three groups was significantly different from that at the initial diagnosis(all P<0.05), and there was significant difference between 6 mo and 12 mo after intervention(all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the retinal thickness of the other macular areas among the three groups before and after intervention(all P>0.05).CONCLUSION:When it comes to preventing and controlling myopia, 0.01% Atropine is more effective than flip chart training and esculin and digitalis glycosides eye drops. Therefore, the administration of 0.01% atropine and the implementation of flip chart training can effectively slow down the advancement of latent myopia.
