Objective To explore the effects of husband and wife joint education model on marriage adjustment and birth and quality of life in female patients with infertility. Methods Totally 360 sterile females who received In Vitro Fertilization-Embryo Transfer (IVF-ET) in the Fertility Dpartment of a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital in Wenzhou were selected using convenient sampling from June to August 2018. The study subjects were randomly divided into intervention (n=180) and control (n=180) groups. The conventional nursing method was used in the control group, and the husband and wife joint education model was applied in the intervention group after the conventional nursing. On the basis of transplantation, the dyadic adjustment scale and birth and quality of life scale were used before the patients were discharged to compare the result of marriage adjustment and birth and quality of life in the two groups. Results The martial adjustment score and birth and quality of life score in the intervention group scored (114.56±20.64) and (68.05±15.18) respectively, both higher than those of the control group, and there was statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusions Husband and wife joint education model can not only promote the intimate relationship between patients and their spouse, but also improve their quality of life, which is worth applying in the clinical care of patients with infertility.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between activities of daily living and hemoglobin level in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed in 190 patients with acute ischemic stroke from August 2015 to April 2017. The hemoglobin (Hb) levels at admission were analyzed . According to the Barthel index (BI) score, the patients were divided into good improvement group ( n=119) and poor improvement group ( n=71). Spearman correlation analysis was used to study the relationship between hemoglobin level and short-term activities of daily living in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Results:(1)The short-term activities of daily living was improved in 119 patients. Among them, 62 (52.1%) were under 65 years old and 57 (47.9%) were over 65 years old, 9 (7.56%) male patients with hemoglobin <120 g/L and 39 (32.77%) male patients with hemoglobin > 150 g/L. There were 71 patients with poor short-term activities of daily living. Among them, 23(32.39%)were under 65 years old and 48(67.61%)were over 65 years old, 1(1.41%)male patients with hemoglobin <120 g/L and 12(16.9%) male patients with hemoglobin > 150 g/L. There were significant differences in age (χ 2= 6.985, P=0.008) and male hemoglobin level (χ 2= 8.069, P=0.005) between patients with good activities of daily living and patients with poor activities of daily living.(2)Regression analysis showed that age > 65 years ( β =1.386, OR=4.000, 95% CI=1.189-3.461, P=0.025) and abnormal hemoglobin levels in men (Hb<120 g/L or > 150 g/L) ( β =1.089, OR=2.972, 95% CI=1.383-6.388, P=0.005) were the influencing factors of poor short-term quality of life in patients with acute ischemic stroke.(3)Spearman correlation analysis showed that abnormal hemoglobin levels in men (Hb<120 g/L or>150 g/L) were positively correlated with poor short-term activities of daily living in patients with acute ischemic stroke( r=0.244, P=0.004). Conclusion:Abnormal hemoglobin level is associated with poor short-term activities of daily living improvement in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
