Objective To explore the application effects of the personalized health education on patients with lower limbs arteriosclerosis obliterans ( AOS) during their preoperative period. Methods 80 patients with lower limbs arteriosclerosis obliterans were randomly divided into the intervention group ( n=40) and the control group (n=40) during June to December 2014. Based on the conventional health education, the intervention group received additional personalized health education. The participants were questionnaire surveyed to investigated their knowledge of the AOS and interventional therapy before the intervention and the discharge. Furthermore, the adherence and relapse conditions were also studied by the telephone follow-up after three months of their discharge.Results The scores for the intervention group on disease knowledge (2.170±0.319), operation cognition (2.435±0.395), medication knowledge (2.580±0.359), rehabilitation training (2.600± 0.386), and psychological conditions (2.685±0.379) were all higher compared to the scores for the control group (t=4.065, 5.253, 4.803, 4.206, 5.445; P<0.01). After three months of discharge, the intervention group performed significantly batter adherence (82.5% vs 50.0%) (P<0.05), but the cases of disease relapse between two groups had no significant difference (P>0.05).Conclusions The application of the personalized health education can significantly enhance the knowledge of disease among patients with lower limbs arteriosclerosis obliterans during their preoperative period. It can also improve their adherence after discharged from the hospital.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of nursing-related research design types, implementation organizations, funding sources and research fields by analyzing the characteristics of nursing-related trials registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) .Methods:We searched the nursing-related clinical trials registered in the ChiCTR database, and the search time was from the establishment of the database to May 25, 2020. The characteristics of registered nursing related trials were analyzed.Results:A total of 319 nursing-related trials were obtained, of which 268 trials were registered as pre-registration and 51 trials were supplementary registration. The number of trial registrations in Shanghai, Guangdong, Sichuan, Jiangsu and Beijing were greater than or equal to 25. The main source of funding was college funds, followed by local finance, self-financing and national finance. Among the registered trials, 239 (74.92%) were randomized controlled trials, and 27 were multi-center clinical trials, and 53 trials used the blind method, and 277 trials passed the review of the ethics committee. Research fields were widely distributed, mainly tumors, strokes and diabetes.Conclusions:The number of nursing-related trials registered in ChiCTR is increasing, but there are regional imbalances in the distribution of research, and the low proportion of funding from high-level funds. Relevant personnel are needed to improve the level of nursing research from many aspects such as nursing education, nursing management, research registration management and funding support.
