Objective To identify the condition of colostomy care in different postoperative stages among the colostomy patients. Methods This study was divided into two section. Using the self-designed questionnaire to investigate 42 postoperative colostomy patients in the first and the second year respectively after the colostomy operation. Results With the time passing by, the money which have been used in buying colostomy products increased, while, the time in the colostomy care decreased. There are no significant difference between the two time point in colostomy self-care ability. The effect factors are age and the time since colostomy in the first year; and gender, age and the time since colostomy are the factors in the second years. Conclusion Nurses should using different nursing method according to the different physical and psychological condition of colostomy patients, and then promote rehabilitation early.

Objective To investigate the effects of three external nasogastric tube fixations on unplanned nasogastric tube removal after radical esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.Methods Two hundred and thirty four esophageal cancer patients who underwent radical esophagectomy with nasogastric intubation were assigned into conventional group I(n=74),conventional group II (n=79)and experiment group(n=81)using random number table.For external fixation of the nasogastric tube,the traditional group I used“3M”silk tape,the traditional group II used a white flat strap with two knots and the experiment group used anI-shaped nasal fixation tape combined with a flapping cheek fixation tape.The three groups were compared in terms of displacement of the indwelling nasogastric tube and slippage of the tube.Results The displacement rate of nasogastric tube and the rate of slippage in the experiment group were both significantly lower than those in both conventional groups I and II(all P<0.05).Conclusion TheI-shaped nasal fixation tape combined with a flapping cheek fixation tape in fixing the nasogastric tube can effectively reduce the incidence of unplanned removal of nasogastric tube and meanwhile the patients may feel comfort and satisfactory.

Healthy granulation tissue played an important role in the wound healing process. However, some factors which interfered the process would result in unhealthy granulation tissue. Unhealthy granulation tissue may affect wound repairing. This article would focus on the concept, mechanisms, interventions of unhealthy granulation tissue.

Objective To explore the quality of life and its influencing factors among permanent colostomy patients. Methods Totally 219 permanent colostomy patients were recruited by convenient sampling method from January 2013 to December 2014 and investigated by Stoma Quality of life-Chinese Version, Stoma self-efficacy Scale, Stoma Self-care Scale-general version , and demographic questionnaire. Data were analyzed by SPSS 17.0. Results The score of Stoma-QoL-C among permanent colostomy patients was (54.86±12.17) points, which showed a dynamic V-type change as time went by. The quality of life of patients with colostomy for 1 to 3 years was especially low (50.46±13.77) points, P<0.01. The influencing factors of quality of life among permanent colostomy patients included self-efficacy, body image change, family members′acceptance of stoma except their spouses and self-care ability, while self-efficacy was the most important influencing factor. Conclusions The enterostomal nurses should pay more attention to the quality of life of the patients who have had colostomy for 1 to 3 years, enhance the patients self-efficacy and self-care ability, and help the patients to accept their body image changes and their family members′acceptance of stoma to improve their quality of life.

Objective To explore the relationship between quality of life and acceptance of disability of colostomy patients.Methods Using convenience sampling method to investigate 111 colostomy patients.General information questionnaire,QLQ-C30 scale,QLQ-CR38 scale and Acceptance of Disability Scale were used to investigate patients' general condition,quality of life and acceptance of disability.Data was analyzed by SPSS 17.0.Results The general health condition of colostomy patients was better than reference value and the score of ADS was at an average level.There was a relationship between general health condition,functioning dimensions,symptom dimensions and acceptance of disability.Conclusions There was a close relationship between quality of life and acceptance of disability.The acceptance of disability should be improved to help patients to obtain better quality of life.

Objective To study the psychosocial behavior reaction,psychosocial needs,anxiety and depression among colostomy patients prior to discharge and to explore the relationship between them.Methods Totally 67 colostomy patients from 2 hospitals in Guangzhou were recruited and investigated by demographic questionnaire,Ostomy Psychosocial Behavior Reaction Questionnaire,Ostomy Psychosocial Needs Questionnaire,Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale 1-2 days prior to discharge.Results The psychosocial behavior reaction among coIostomy patients was in the moderate level with the mean score 2.15±0.27.The psychosocial needs were in medium to high level with the mean score 2.09±0.41.About 37.3％ of colostomy patients showed anxiety,while 20.9％ patients showed depression.Significant positive correlation was shown between psychosocial behavior reaction and psychosocial needs(r=0.565,P＜0.01),while significant positive correlation was also shown between psychosocial behavior reaction and anxiety-depression(r=-0.472,-0.319,P＜0.01).Psychosocial needs and anxiety could predict psychosocial behavior reaction positively(β=0.486,-0.375,P＜0.01).Conclusion The positive acknowledgement and reconstruction are the main psychosocial behavior reactions prior to discharge in colostomy patients.Patients with more psychosocial needs,severe anxiety show more psychosocial behavior reaction.

Objective To describe the current situation of pre-hospital delay and health belief in patients with colorectal cancer and explore the relationship between them. Methods With convenient sampling methods,totally 385 patients with colorectal cancer were recruited from January to June 2016. Patients with colorectal cancer were investigated using a general data survey questionnaire, visit situation questionnaire and the Champion Health Belief Model Scale. Results The median pre-hospital delay time was 3.00 months.The rate of pre-hospital delay was 43.1%(166/385). The score of the overall health belief was (119.52 ± 12.62) points. The two dimensions of"perceived susceptibility and perceived severity" scored lower, and the two dimensions of "health motivation and perceived therapeutic benefits" scored higher. The health belief was negatively correlated with the pre- hospital delay among colorectal cancer patients (r=- 0.737, P<0.01). Conclusions Pre-hospital delay occurred among patients with colorectal cancer is severe. Patients with a higher level of health belief have shorter pre-hospital delay.It′s important to improve the level of health belief of"perceived susceptibility and perceived severity"and reduce the time of pre-hospital delay to improve outcomes in patients with colorectal cancer.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of biofeedback training on bowl function among rectal cancer patients with chemoradiotherapy and temporary enterostomy. Methods: Using randomized controlled trial design, 109 rectal cancer patients were randomly divided into three groups, the first blank control group, the second group pelvic floor muscle exercise group, the third group biofeedback group. High resolution anorectal manometry was used for 6 longitudinal traces in 16 months. Data of bowel function were collected by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) Bowel Function Instrument. Results: The main effect of the change of five indicators, anal resting pressure, rectal resting pressure, maximum squeeze pressure, maximum squeeze time and high pressure zone, was time. The other four indicators, rectal volume at first senory, rectal volume at sense of convenience, maximal tolerable rectal volume and rectal compliance, among patients of biofeedback group were (32.71±5.00) ml, (74.26±8.30) ml, (188.40±12.68) ml, (5.69±1.18) ml/kPa and (68.09±6.38). The rectal volume at first senory, rectal volume at sense of convenience, maximal tolerable rectal volume and rectal compliance, among patients of biofeedback group were significant higher than blank control group and pelvic floor muscle exercise group (F=3.589-26.826, P<0.05). Conclusion The biofeedback could significantly improve the sensory indicators of patients with middle and low rectal cancer. High-resolution anorectal manometry could effectively evaluate the effect of biofeedback training in patients with middle and low rectal cancer.
