Asian Nursing Research 2020;14(3):137-143
Purpose:
Elder self-neglect is a global public health issue and should be taken seriously at large. Nurses,usually working directly with elderly patients, have a better understanding of what factors may causeelder self-neglect. In this qualitative study, we explored the influencing factors of elder self-neglect fromthe perception of nurses in the context of Chinese culture.
Methods:
Face-to-face, in-depth interviews were conducted from November 2018 to December 2018.Purposive sampling was used. Twenty one participants recruited from eight geriatric wards of a generalhospital located in Wuhan were interviewed. A content analysis of qualitative nature was performed toanalyze the data.
Results:
Our conceptual model illustrated the findings based on the three themes of the conflict betweenpersonal recognition and social judgment, the choice between current needs and individual beliefs, aswell as the compromise between insufficient abilities and limited resources.
Conclusion
Nurses together with family members and social workers can help older adults improvetheir awareness of self-neglect to bridge the gap with social judgment, learn to focus on their own needs,as well as seek as much support as possible. Nurses should also respect the autonomy and selfdeterminationof elder self-neglecters because self-neglect is related to older adults' values. Furthermore,larger studies are needed to quantitatively test and refine the model.

PURPOSE: As midwives witness and attend the whole process of childbirth, they have a better understanding of which factors may cause traumatic childbirth. However, because most of the studies paid their attention on mothers, little is known about psychological birth trauma from the perspective of midwives. This study aims to gain a full understanding of which factors may contribute to psychological traumatic childbirth from the perspective of midwives.METHODS: A qualitative research was conducted using in-depth interviews, which involved fourteen midwives from the maternal ward of a tertiary hospital. The interviews were recorded and transcribed, and then, Colaizzi's method was used to analyze the contents of the interviews.RESULTS: We proposed four themes and eight subthemes on the influencing factors of psychological traumatic childbirth from the perspective of midwives: low perceived social support (lack of support from family and lack of support from medical staff), hard times (protracted labor in the first stage and futile efforts during the second stage), poor birth outcomes (poor birth outcomes of the mother and poor birth outcomes of the baby), and excruciating pain (unbearable pain of uterine contraction and labor pain was incongruent with the mother's expectations).CONCLUSION: Medical staff should pay attention to psychological traumatic childbirth and its effects, and emphasis on the screening and assessment of birthing women with negative feelings so that their psychological traumatic childbirth can be prevented and decreased.

Objective:To retrieve and obtain relevant evidence of intra-abdominal pressure-oriented enteral nutrition assessment and management in patients with intra-abdominal hypertension, in order to provide evidence-based evidence for clinical medical staff to make enteral nutrition-related clinical decisions for patients with intra-abdominal hypertension.Methods:Systematic retrieval of Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, Chinese Biomedical Literature, UpToDate, PubMed, Cochrane Library, BMJ Best Practice and other English data, as well as domestic and foreign guidelines such as American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, etc. All evidence available on the Internet in both Chinese and English on intra-abdominal pressure-guided enteral nutrition strategies in adults with intra-abdominal hypertension, study types including clinical decision-making, systematic reviews/meta-analyses, evidence summaries, expert consensus, guidelines or related to the subject of this study closely related high-quality original research. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to November 2021. The literature evaluation tool was selected according to the research type. Two researchers trained in the evidence-based system independently evaluate the quality of the included literature, fully considering the clinical situation and expert opinions, and completed the evidence. Extracted and summarized.Results:Totally 13 articles were finally included, including 5 guidelines, 3 expert consensuses, 1 evidence summary and 4 original studies, and 29 evidence-based practice evidence of enteral nutrition in patients with intra-abdominal hypertension were collected, including the monitoring timing of enteral pressure, the pressure of enteral high pressure and the way of enteral nutrition, the pressure measurement of the abdominal cavity, the setting of abdominal pressure, the temperature conditions for early start of enteral nutrition, the selection of enteral pressure, the temperature setting of enteral nutrition nine aspects such as speed and regulation of internal nutrition and abdominal compartment syndrome prevention.Conclusions:This study summarizes the best evidence of intra-abdominal pressure management and enteral nutrition therapy in patients with intra-abdominal hypertension, and provides evidence-based basis for risk management, standardizing clinical practice, and ensuring treatment safety. In the stage of evidence transformation, clinical medical staff need to comprehensively weigh the benefits and risks of early enteral nutrition, and integrate evidence in combination with clinical practical application scenarios, so as to form a standardized early enteral nutrition management plan suitable for patients with intra-abdominal hypertension.
