Chinese Journal of Modern Nursing 2016;22(12):1718-1720,1721
Objective To explore the influences of the collaborative nursing on negative emotion and self-care in patients with postoperative chemotherapy for gastric cancer .Methods The study investigated 72 patients who had total gastrectomy during May 2013 and May 2014 , and received the postoperative chemotherapy for gastric cancer .According to the random number table , the participants were divided into the intervention group (n=36), which received the collaboration nursing care , and the control group (n=36), which received the normal care.The depression, anxiety, self-care, and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention .Results The scores of depression and anxiety had no statistical differences before the intervention between two groups (P>0.05).However, after the intervention, the scores of depression and anxiety in the intervention group were significant lower than that of the control group while the knowledge level and self-care score were higher in the intervention group compared with that of the control group (P<0.05).Moreover, the satisfaction of the style, attitude, and quality of nursing were also better in the intervention group (P <0.05).Conclusions The collaborative nursing care can significantly improve the negative emotions such as depression and anxiety , and promote the knowledge and skills of the self-care as well as the satisfaction to the nursing staff members in patients with postoperative chemotherapy for gastric cancer .

Objective To monitor the level of urinary iodine in pregnant women in Xiaogan area,to understand the iodine nutri-tional status of pregnant women during pregnancy,and to provide theoretical basis for scientific guidance of iodine intake in preg-nant women.Methods The urine iodine levels of 2 956 pregnant women in Xiaogan Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan University of Sci-ence and Technology from March 2016 to May 2017 were examined and analyzed.Results In Xiaogan area,the median concentra-tions of urinary iodine in the early,middle and late stages of pregnant women were 145.73 μg/L,176.88 μg/L and 170.37 μg/L. 996 pregnant women were with urinary iodine concentration of over 150 μg/L,accounting for 33.69%;1372 pregnant women were with urinary iodine concentration of 150-249 μg/L,accounting for 46.41%;556 pregnant women were with urinary iodine concen-tration of 250-499 μg/L,accounting for 18.81%;32 pregnant women were with urinary iodine concentration of over 500 μg/L,ac-counting for 1.08%.The incidence rates of iodine deficiency in pregnant women at early,middle and late stage were 42.86%, 32.95% and 40.00%,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence rate of iodine deficiency was 32.33%in pregnant women with age ≤ 30 years old,the incidence of iodine deficiency was 36.89% in pregnant women with age > 30 years old,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion At this stage,in Xiaogan,there are no overall maternal i-odine deficiency,but there was iodine malnutrition in pregnant women in early pregnancy,and some pregnant women lack awareness of iodine.
