Objective The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experience of infertile women who terminated treatment after in vitro fertilization (IVF) failure. Methods Using a qualitative research de-sign, 12 subjects were recruited who had experienced IVF failure for many times. Data were collected through deep interviews, and analyzed using interpretive research strategies of phenomenology. Results Informed consent was obtained from each subject. There were four themes of lived experience which emerged from the data: frustration, high pressure, giving up pregnancy, and replaning the future. Conclusions Infertile women who received in vitro fertilization treatment will eventually accept the reality and mark out their future life after experiencing hustrated sense and various pressure by failure treatment.Nurses should give more loving care and persuasion during this process.

Objective To evaluate the application value of simultaneous amplification and testing for Myco-bacterium tuberculosis(SAT-TB)in evaluating the curative effect of initial treatment of smear-positive pul-monary tuberculosis patients.Methods A total of 62 newly treated smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis pa-tients from June 2022 to June 2023 in Guangzhou Panyu District Chronic Disease Control Station were selected as the study objects,and the curative effect was evaluated by liquid-based sandwich cup method,Roche culture method and SAT-TB detection method.All patients received the standard anti-tuberculosis treatment regimen of 2HRZE/4HR standard regimen,and sputum samples were detected by liquid-based sandwich cup method,Roche culture method,and SAT-TB detection method at the 2nd,4th,and 8th week of treatment,respectively.Results Among 62 patients,54 cases were positive and 8 cases were negative using Roche culture method,47 cases were positive and 15 cases were negative using SAT-TB detection method.60 cases were positive and 2 cases were negative by Mycobacterium tuberculosis(MTB)-DNA test.The positive rates of the three methods were 87.10%(54/62),75.81%(47/62)and 96.77%(60/62),respectively.Taking Roche culture method re-sults as the standard,the sensitivity of SAT-TB detection method and MTB-DNA was 97.87%(46/47)and 90.00%(54/60),and the specificity was 46.67%(7/15)and 100.00%(2/2),respectively.There were signifi-cant differences between Roche culture method and SAT-TB detection method and MTB-DNA test(x2=20.070,P<0.05,x2=13.985,P<0.05),the difference between the results of SAT-TB detection method and MTB-DNA test was also statistically significant(x2=8.365,P<0.05).The negative conversion rates of MTB in sputum samples were 69.35%(43/62),29.03%(18/62)and 41.94%(26/62)at the 2nd,4 th,and 8 th weeks,respectively.77.42%(48/62),59.68%(37/62),58.06%(36/62),82.26%(51/62),79.03%(49/62),75.81%(47/62).There were significant differences in the negative conversion rates of MTB in sputum sam-ples between SAT-TB and liquid-based sandwich cup method at the 2nd and 4th weeks(x2=8.365,P<0.05,x2=4.465,P<0.05),while there was no significant difference between the results of Roche culture method at the 2nd,4th and 8th weeks(x2=1.726,P>0.05,x2=0.000,P>0.05,x2=0.046,P>0.05).Conclusion The use of SAT-TB detection method in clinical practice to evaluate the efficacy of smear positive pulmonary tuberculo-sis patients could accurately and quickly assess the negative conversion rate and treatment effect of patients,and provide a reliable basis for guiding clinical treatment.It could be considered as an effective auxiliary diag-nosis and evaluation method of curative effect,worthy of promotion and practical application.
