Objective To retrieve,evaluate and summarize the best evidence of physical activity in patients with venous leg ulcer(VLU),and to provide the evidence for clinical practice of physical activity intervention for patients with VLU.Methods We systematically searched all relevant literature on the physical activity of patients with VLU,including clinical practice guidelines,clinical decision-making,systematic reviews,evidence summaries,expert consensuses,and original studies,from the guideline websites,databases,and professional association websites,with the search period from the database establishment to May 19,2023.2 researchers independently evaluated the quality of the literature,and included and extracted and integrated evidence based on the judgment of professionals.Results A total of 18 articles were included,consisting of 6 guidelines,2 clinical decisions,6 systematic reviews,3 expert consensuses and 1 original study.Finally,26 pieces of best evidence were summarized,categorizing into 8 aspects which include timing of physical activity,patient assessment before physical activity,mode of physical activity,time and frequency of physical activity,intensity of physical activity,effect evaluation of physical activity,quality control and tips.Conclusion This study summarizes the best evidence of physical activity in patients with VLU.It is recommended that health care professionals should formulate individualized physical activity programs based on the practical conditions and clinical situation,and fully consider the evaluation results of patients.

Objective To explore the status quo and potential profile of self-management in elderly patients with venous leg ulcers,analyse the differences and influencing factors in different profiles,and provide references for clinical nursing.Methods Convenient sampling method was used to select patients who were followed up in the department of vascular surgery and vascular department of 3 tertiary A hospitals in Shanghai from October 2022 to May 2023 as the study subjects.General data questionnaire,Chronic Wound Patient Self-management Behavior Questionnaire,Health Literacy Management Scale,Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire,Social Support Rating Scale,Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy Scale and Geriatric Depression Scale-15 were used for investigation.Mplus 8.3 was used for potential profile analysis,and SPSS 25.0 was used for univariate analysis and multiple Logistic regression analysis.Results A total of 316 valid questionnaires were collected,and the patients were divided into 3 potential profiles according to their self-management level:low management-inefficient wound response,middle management-highly effective compliance and high management-efficient wound response,accounting for 25.63％,46.84％and 27.53％respectively.Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that duration of illness,depression,health literacy,self-efficacy and illness perception were factors influencing the potential profile of self-management in elderly patients with venous leg ulcers.Conclusion The self-management level of elderly patients with venous leg ulcers is at a medium level and has obvious classification characteristics.Clinical nurses can take targeted nursing measures according to different characteristics of patients to improve their self-management ability.
