Objective:To explore the relationship between the preoperative fear of pain(FOP) and postoperative pain in patients with lung cancer undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, with a view to provide a basis for psychological and behavioral intervention in perioperative pain.Methods:One hundred lung cancer patients underwent thoracoscopic surgery from August 2018 to December 2019 were recruited. The FOP was collected by the Chinese version of the fear of pain questionnaire-Ⅲ before operation. And postoperative pain including rest pain and cough pain was collected after surgery. The correlation analysis and relative risk coefficient was used to evaluate the relationship between preoperative FOP and postoperative pain.Results:Both rest pain and cough pain were positively correlated with FOP with the correlation coefficients of 0.404 and 0.489 (both P <0.05). Patients with a high level of FOP before surgery were more likely to report severe pain when coughing after surgery, which was 3.643 times (95% CI value was 1.585-8.372) higher than the patients with non-high level preoperative FOP. Conclusions:Patients with a high level preoperative FOP may report higher pain after surgery. Screening and identification of such patients are needed for further cognitive behavioral intervention.

Objective To evaluate the effect of active cycle of breathing techniques(ACBT) on promoting lung recruitment in post-thoracic surgery patients with lung cancer. Methods Totally 100 cases of patients with lung cancer were collected and randomly divided into two groups(the control group and the observation group) with 50 cases in each group. The additional ACBT was applied≥3 times per day in the control group compared with the observation group. The main observation indexes(pulmonary function and arterial blood gas, etc) and the secondary indexes(vital signs and pain score, etc) of the patients were collected at different time period. Results The main observation index and the secondary index of the patients in the control group gained an advantage over those in the observation group(P<0.05). No obvious adverse events occurred. Conclusion ACBT applied in the post-thoracic surgery patients with lung cancer is safe and effective. It can improve the cleaning efficiency of respiratory secretion, promote lung recruitment and fastly recover the pulmonary function and save medical costs.

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) and percutaneous endoscopic Jejunostomy (PEJ) are common channels for enteral nutrition input. In the past five years, there are no relevant nursing guidelines and reviews in China. In August 2018, Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society (WOCN) issued the Clinical Practice Guidelines for Nursing Management of Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy and Jejunostomy in Adults, including preoperative preparation, surgical procedure and postoperative monitoring of gastrostomy and Jejunostomy. The management of enteral nutrition tube, the use of enteral nutrition and drugs, the prevention of medication errors, the treatment of early and late complications, the education of patients and their caregivers, and the replacement of catheters are all recommended. This article interpreted the guideline in order to provide reference for clinical nursing of gastrostomy and Jejunostomy.
