Objective To explore clinical application value of Traditional Chinese Medicine nursing technology to decrease postoperative complication after breast cancer surgery.Methods Randomized controlled trial,large sample size,multicenter study design were adopted,and 200 patients who met inclusion criteria were randomly divided into the control group and the treatment group (100 cases in each group).The control group received routine nursing methods after breast cancer surgery.The treatment group received routine nursing methods as well as Traditional Chinese Medicine nursing intervention,such as auricular application pressure,acupoint sticking,meridian moxibustion.Data of arm circumference,Athens insomnia scale(AIS),symptom in affected arm were collected a week before and after surgery,and range of motion of shoulder joint was evaluated 3 months after surgery to compare postoperative subcutaneous effusion,skin flap necrosis,limb edema,sleep disorder and occurrence of shoulder joint dysfunction in two groups.Results The cases developed postoperative subcutaneous effusion,skin flap necrosis,limb edema were different in two groups,but the differences were not statistically significant(P>0.05).There were significant differences between two groups in affected arm pain,swelling,skin tension,sleep,and shoulder joint dysfunction after 3 months(P<0.05).Conclusion Traditional Chinese Medicine nursing technology can effectively decrease postoperative complication after breast cancer surgery.

ObjectiveTo investigate comprehensive treatment and obstruction in adherence of the patients newly diagnosed with breast cancer,and to provide the theoretical basis for improving the comprehensive treatment adherence.Methods A total of 22 patients newly diagnosed with breast cancer received semi-structured interview by phenomenological research approach of qualitative research. Colaizzi′s data analysis method was performed to analyze and conclude the theme.Results Eight themes of the application were obtained from the experience of 22 patients:economic difficulties,weak family support,serious treatment side effects,tortile religious faith,incorrect internet information,indifference in combined treatment,complex formalities and complications. Conclusions The affecting factors,such as economic difficulties,are the most frequently endorsed barrier to combined treatment compliance. The management of affecting factors is critically significant to increase patients′ compliance to comprehensive treatment. Medical staff should offer individual economic and medical information as well as emotion supports,and encourage breast cancer patients to actively complete the comprehensive treatment.

Objective To investigate the mastering of osteoporosis knowledge and the level of self-efficacy in patients treated with aromatase inhibitors and to provide references for further preventive interventions. Methods A total of seventy five patients with breast cancer treated with aromatase inhibitors were recruited from Zhejiang Cancer Hospital using convenience sampling method. They were investigated with osteoporosis knowledge test ( OKT ) and osteoporosis self-efficacy scale ( OSES ) . Results The total score of osteoporosis knowledge was 51. 90, in which the score of risk factors of osteoporosis, exercise and calcium intake were 55. 75,50. 67 and 47. 67, respectively. The correct rate of osteoporosis knowledge was statistically different in people with different educational level and approach of health education (P<0. 05). The total score of self-efficacy and factor scores of exercise and calcium intake were (59. 80 ± 19. 88),(60. 25 ± 21. 99),(59. 35 ± 17. 76)respectively. Conclusions It is suggested to strengthen osteoporosis related health education for patients with breast cancer, and to increase their health information and beliefs, and help them to formulate health behaviors to prevent osteoporosis.

Objective:To systematically review the return to work (RTW) experience of breast cancer patients.Methods:Qualitative research on the RTW real experience of breast cancer patients were retrieved by computer in China National Knowledge Internet, WanFang Data, China Biology Medicine Literature Database, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, EBSCO and PubMed from database building to July 2020. "Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tool for qualitative studies in Australia" was used to evaluation, and the collective synthesis method was used to integrate the result.Results:A total of 18 articles were included, and 56 clear research results were refined. The similar results were grouped together to form 8 new categories and integrated into 3 synthesis results. Synthesis result 1 was the transformation of own working status and external environment. Synthesis result 2 was improving subjective initiative, and actively seeking adaptation and development. Synthesis result 3 was cherishing themselves, being grateful for the status quo, and realizing personal value.Conclusions:Health care providers should pay attention to the physical and mental experience, behavioral performance and needs of breast cancer patients during the RTW process, and increase the evaluation and management of this population, build a dynamic, multidisciplinary and targeted guidance program, and actively encourage patients to RTW and return to normal life.

Objective:
To retrospectively explore the effects of modified dosage of calcium gluconate (CG) on the patients with hydrofluoric acid burns not in hands or feet.
Methods:
One hundred and sixty patients with hydrofluoric acid burns not in hands or feet were hospitalized in our burn ward from January 2004 to December 2017. Based on the dosage of CG at different admission time, 76 patients hospitalized from January 2004 to December 2012 were included in traditional group, and 84 patients hospitalized from January 2013 to December 2017 were included in modified group. For patients in the two groups, subcutaneous injection of CG solution at one time was immediately conducted on admission in topical treatment. In traditional group, the injection was CG solution with mass concentration of 100 g/L. For wounds of superficial partial-thickness and above degree, CG solution was prescribed at the dosage of 50 mg/cm2. Wounds of superficial-thickness or mass fraction of hydrofluoric acid less than 20.0% did not receive injection. In modified group, the mass concentration of CG solution for injection was diluted with normal saline to 25 g/L. For wounds of deep partial-thickness and above degree, CG solution was prescribed at the dosage of (50×mass fraction of hydrofluoric acid) mg/cm2. For wounds of superficial partial-thickness, CG solution was prescribed at the dosage of (25×mass fraction of hydrofluoric acid) mg/cm2. For wounds of superficial-thickness, CG solution was prescribed at the dosage of 2.5 mg/cm2. For systemic treatment, the injection velocity of CG solution via venous access was adjusted according to the level of serum calcium namely total serum calcium of patients in traditional group. In modified group, serum ionized calcium was additionally detected through automatic blood gas analyzer by the bed to regulate the injection velocity of CG via venous access. The incidence rate of hypercalcemia and mortality of patients after treatment in the two groups, and the situation about treatment of survivors in the two groups were analyzed. Data were processed with chi-square test, Fisher′s exact probability test,

Objective To explore the current situation and influencing factors of caregiver readiness of elderly patients with chronic heart failure.Methods From March 2021 to April 2022,the convenient sampling method was used to select 335 caregivers of elderly patients with chronic heart failure who were hospitalized in 6 hospitals in Hangzhou as the survey subjects.The general information questionnaire,Caregiver Readiness Scale and Caregiver Burden Scale were used to investigate the caregivers of elderly patients with chronic heart failure.Results A total of 326 valid questionnaires were collected.The score of Caregiver Readiness Scale for elderly patients with chronic heart failure was(18.88±6.36),and 61.04%of the caregivers had mild to moderate burden.The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the caregiver's age,education level and cumulative care time were the positive influencing factors of the caregiver readiness,and the caregiver burden was the negative influencing factor of the caregiver readiness(P<0.001).Conclusion The caregiver readiness of elderly patients with chronic heart failure is at a medium level.Caregivers who are older,more educated,have a longer cumulative caregiving time,and have a lighter caregiving burden are more prepared.Medical staff should pay attention to the motivation of caregivers,provide professional support from multiple aspects,and reduce the burden of care,increase readiness level.
