Objective To evaluate the effect of wound experts′ intervention on the primary caregivers′ behavior of caring patients with pressure ulcers. Methods According to the principle of convenience sampling, 200 cases of patients with out-hospital pressure ulcers were collected in the hospital emergency department between December 2013 and December 2015. Each 100 cases were randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group according to odd even packet. Primary family caregivers in the intervention group were implemented the additional behavioral intervention by professional wound experts on the basis of the conventional education, while the control group only with conventional education. Primary caregivers′behavior score in the intervention group were compared in 1 month and 2 months. And the differences of recovery rate and incidence of pressure ulcers were compared between intervention group and control group. Results The recovery rate of pressure ulcers in intervention group was 59% (59/100) ,which was significantly higher than 32% (32/100) of the control group (χ2=14.690, P=0.000), and the incidence of pressure ulcers rate was 24% (24/100) in intervention group which was significantly lower than 39%(39/100) in the control group (χ2=5.214,P=0.022). Primary caregivers′behavior scores in the intervention group were (48.27±6.12) points after 1 month and (46.18± 4.44) points after 2 months, while those in the control group were (44.15 ± 4.33) points and (43.33 ± 5.67) points, respectively, and the difference of behavior scores in different time-points were statistically significant (F=18.93, P < 0.01). Moreover, the difference of behavior scores was also statistically significant between intervention group and control group (F=5.512, P < 0.05). Conclusions Wound experts′ intervention on home primary caregivers can effectively help improve caregivers′ behavior, promote the healing of pressure ulcers, and reduce the occurrence of complications.

Objective: To study the characteristics of negative physical self of adolescents from Han, Tibet and Yi nationalities.Methods: 990 adolescents from Han (n=455), Tibet (n=345) and Yi (n=190) nationalities were assessed with Negative Physical Self Scale.Results:Generally, adolescents from the three nationalities were satisfied to their own body (average score 1.34?0.37), and there was no interaction between race and sex.The main effect of the race was significant in the total negative physical self and four sub-dimensions (general feature, appearance, fat, thinness).With their negative physical self, appearance and thinness, the Yi were significantly more dissatisfied than those from Han and Tibet nationalities (Yi:1.42?0.03,1.58?0.06,1.05?0.05; Han:1.26?0.02,1.23?0.04,0.89?0.03; Tibet: 1.26?0.03,1.15?0.05,0.88?0.04, P
