Objective To investigate the impacts of different therapies on medical and physical health of breast cancer patients and put forward the measures for health education. Methods The MOS 36 items short form health survey (SF-36) and a self-designed questionnaire on general data were designed to investigate 93 breast cancer patients with different therapies. All of them had undergone surgery and were divided into two groups as in the following: 21 receiving only surgery were set as only surgery group, 51 receiving surgery plus chemotherapy as another group, 11 of them receiving surgery plus radiotherapy as another group and 10 receiving surgery plus chemotherapy and radiotherapy as the last group. Results There were significant differences between all the groups in terms of the score on physical health ( P<0 . 05 ) and so it was with the only surgery group and the surgery plus chemotherapy group (P<0.05); the surgery plus chemotherapy group and the surgery plus chemotherapy and radiotherapy group (P<0.05). There were significant differences among all the groups in terms of the score of mental health (P<0.05) and so it was with the comparison among the surgery group and surgery plus chemotherapy and radiotherapy group (P<0.05). Conclusions The patients who have surgery plus chemotherapy and radiotherapy are in poor condition physically and mentally. Health education should focus on improving the general and physical health. So we should understand the effect of different therapies on patients physically and mentally. In this way, we can individualize the health education and help the patients with breast cancer to live in a better mental and physical condition.

Objective To investigate the effect of nutritional guidance on the energy intake and body weight of patients with gastric cancer chemotherapy. Methods The experimental study was used to study the 144 cases with gastric cancer for the first time of chemotherapy. They were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group, 72 cases in each group. Routine healthy guidance was used in the control group, while the patients in the experimental group were treated by the nutrition prescription, the nutrition guidance, the purpose and the significance of the chemotherapy, and the follow-up of the patients after discharge. The body weight of patients was collected before chemotherapy, and the dietary questionnaire was used for second days after first days of dietary intake, and the changes of energy consumption and body weight were compared between the two groups. Results The mean values of energy intake within 24 hours in the first 3 days after the chemotherapy in the experimental group was 5 068.92 kJ, which was 51%of the RNI. The mean values of energy intake within 24 hours in the first 3 days after the chemotherapy in the control group was 3 439.25 kJ, which was 38%of the RNI. The difference between the two groups was significant (P<0.01). The weight of patients in the experimental group at the time point of before the 5th and 6th time of chemotherapy were significant higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Energy intake had influenced the patients′weight, high energy intake with low decrease of body weight. Conclusions Nutritional guidance can effectively improve the energy intake of patients with gastric cancer when chemotherapy, so that the weight remained stable during chemotherapy.

Objective:To explore the "Internet + nursing service" model based on the nurse-patient safety needs, and provide reference for development of "Internet + nursing service".Methods:The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yatsen University established a "Internet+ nursing service" management team in December 2019, developed an information platform, formulated and implemented a specific plan of the "Internet+ nursing service" model, including service objects, service projects and service modes. After the smooth operation of this model, the statistics of the nursing service projects and service times that had been carried out from September 2020 to March 2021, as well as the satisfaction of 21 patients who received nursing services would be counted.Results:From September 2020 to March 2021, 21 patients were provided with 55 on-site nursing services, and 151 operations in 16 projects were completed. No nursing-related adverse events occurred. The patients gave all five-star evaluations to the door-to-door service, the satisfaction score was 5 points, and the overall evaluation was 99.88 points.Conclusions:The pilot work of "Internet + nursing service" based on the nurse-patient safety needs has met the care needs of discharged patients and the safety needs of door-to-door services, guarantee the safety of nurses' door-to-door service effectively. And it provides reference for the development and improvement of "Internet + nursing service" related safety work in tertiary A-level hospitals.

Objective:To explore patients and nurses' attitude and willingness of "Internet + nursing services", and provide a reference for better "Internet + nursing services".Methods:In July 2019, totally 579 inpatients and 1 176 nurses from The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were selected by convenient sampling. A self-designed Questionnaire on the Status Quo of Patients and Nurses' Attitude and Willingness "Internet + Nursing Services" was used to explore the current status of these patients and nurses' willingness and costs of "Internet + nursing services". χ 2 test was employed to compare the differences between the two. Results:Among respondents, totally 73.40% (425/579) patients and 71.09% (836/1 176) nurses agreed to carry out "Internet + nursing services". A total of 45.08% (261/579) patients and 50.26% (591/1 176) nurses thought that the most needed on-site service items were catheter replacement and wound dressing change. Both patients and nurses believed that on-site services were most helpful to patients with immobility, accounting for 56.18% (325/579) and 52.98% (623/1 176) , respectively. The willingness of nurses to provide on-site services was lower than that of patients to receive on-site services. The cost of nurses' on-site services was higher than the patients' willingness to pay. Patients' concerns about medical risks were higher than those of nurses, while their personal safety concerns were lower than those of nurses. Nurses hoped that the time spent on on-site services was shorter than the needs of patients, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Patients and nurses support the development of "Internet + nursing services". Most patients accept nurses to provide on-site services, while some nurses hold a wait-and-see attitude towards on-site services. Moreover, there is a big gap between the two parties in terms of service costs, risks and duration. Therefore, when carrying out "Internet + nursing services", it is necessary to balance the needs of patients and nurses, formulate practical service plans, and satisfy both nurses and patients to achieve a win-win situation.

Objective:To learn about the awareness, education status and willingness of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) among elementary school students in Guizhou Province, and to provide a scientific basis for exploring intervention strategies for health education of iodine deficiency in the future.Methods:From June 2021 to May 2022, each IDD monitoring county was selected from the east, south, west, north and middle directions of Guizhou Province, and one elementary school was selected from each county. All students in two classes of Grade 5 and Grade 6 were selected in whole groups to conduct on-site questionnaire surveys in the form of anonymous examinations. The survey mainly included general demographic information and IDD awareness, education status and willingness, and binary logistic regression was used to analyze the relevant influencing factors.Results:A total of 1 259 elementary school students in Guizhou Province were investigated, the rates of awareness of IDD, acceptance of IDD publicity and education, and willingness to accept IDD publicity and education among elementary school students were 37.7% (1 900/5 036), 25.1% (316/1 259) and 69.6% (876/1 259), respectively. By binary logistic regression analysis, gender, residence, grade and father's education level were the influencing factors of pupils' awareness of iodine deficiency ( P < 0.05); residence, age and father's education level were the influential factors of elementary school students receiving iodine deficiency education ( P < 0.05); gender, residence, ethnicity and whether the child was the only child or not were the influential factors of elementary school students' willingness to accept IDD education ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:The elementary school students in Guizhou Province have insufficient knowledge about IDD. The publicity and education for iodine deficiency prevention is limited, and the students' willingness to learn is not high. The publicity, education and intervention for iodine deficiency prevention among elementary school students should be comprehensively strengthened.

Objective:To compare and analyze the distribution characteristics of fluoride and arsenic in drinking water in coal-burning borne endemic fluorosis and arsenic poisoning areas and non-endemic areas of Guizhou Province, and to assess the health risk.Methods:From January 2018 to December 2019, drinking water samples were collected from all endemic and non-endemic townships in 37 coal-burning borne endemic fluorosis counties (cities and districts) and 4 coal-burning borne endemic arsenic poisoning counties (cities and districts) in Guizhou Province. Fluoride and arsenic levels in drinking water were determined in all the affected and non-affected townships. Among them, 3 800 water samples were collected from fluorosis areas, 1 445 water samples from non-endemic areas, and 117 water samples from arsenic poisoning areas and non-endemic areas, respectively. Based on Monte Carlo simulation, a health risk assessment model recommended by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was applied to quantitatively evaluate the health risks caused by fluoride and arsenic in drinking water in different regions through different pathways (drinking water intake or skin contact) to different populations (adult males, adult females and children).Results:According to the "Hygienic Standards for Drinking Water" (GB 5749-2022), the qualified rates of fluoride and arsenic levels in drinking water in the study area were 100%. The results of the health risk evaluation showed that in the same evaluation area (endemic area or non-endemic area), there were statistically significant differences in the average annual health risks caused by fluoride and arsenic exposure through drinking water among different populations through two different routes ( P < 0.001), with children's health risks > adult males > adult females ( P < 0.05). The average annual health risks of fluoride and arsenic in water samples from different water periods and source types were compared via the two exposure routes, and the differences were statistically significant ( P < 0.05). At high ( P95) and moderate ( P50) exposure levels, the average annual total health risks of fluoride in drinking water via the two exposure routes (drinking water intake and skin contact) for adult males, adult females, children and the general population in fluorosis areas were a -1: 2.50 × 10 -9 and 8.64 × 10 -10, 2.20 × 10 -9 and 7.61 × 10 -10, 3.00 × 10 -9 and 1.04 × 10 -9, 2.36 × 10 -9 and 8.15 × 10 -10, respectively, and a -1: 2.44 × 10 -9 and 6.92 × 10 -10, 2.15 × 10 -9 and 6.09 × 10 -10, 2.93 × 10 -9 and 8.32 × 10 -10, 2.30 × 10 -9 and 6.53 × 10 -10 in non-endemic areas, respectively; the average annual total health risks of adult males, adult females, children, and the general population caused by arsenic ingestion through drinking water and skin contact in arsenic poisoning areas were a -1: 9.10 × 10 -7 and 3.67 × 10 -7, 8.11 × 10 -7 and 3.22 × 10 -7, 1.13 × 10 -6 and 4.45 × 10 -7, 8.95 × 10 -7 and 3.47 × 10 -7, respectively, and a -1: 2.42 × 10 -6 and 5.61 × 10 -7, 2.11 × 10 -6 and 4.80 × 10 -7, 2.88 × 10 -6 and 6.55 × 10 -7, 2.21 × 10 -6 and 5.25 × 10 -7 in non-endemic areas, respectively; average annual total health risks of adult males, adult females, children and the general population were all in the safe range [fluoride in drinking water: negligible levels recommended by the Royal Society and the Dutch Ministry of Construction and Environment were 1.0 × 10 -7 a -1 and 1.0 × 10 -8 a -1, respectively; arsenic in drinking water: the maximum acceptable level recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) was 5.0 × 10 -5 a -1]. Conclusions:The fluoride and arsenic levels in the drinking water of coal-burning borne endemic fluorosis and arsenic poisoning areas and non-endemic areas in Guizhou Province meet the requirements of hygienic standards for drinking water; the overall health risks of fluoride and arsenic to people of different ages and genders ingested through drinking water and through skin contact are within an acceptable range.
