Objective:to provide a new type of fall prevention early warning bracelet and share the feedback of clinical preliminary application data in order to reduce the incidence of falls in inpatients.Methods:The convenience sampling method was used to select the inpatients who were hospitalized in the Department of Geriatrics of Hunan Provincial People ′s Hospital from January to February 2021. The 30 patients who did not use bracelets in November 2020 were taken as the routine group and 30 patients who used bracelets in December 2020 were taken as the experimental group. The two groups were monitored during hospitalization and 2 weeks after discharge. The patients in the routine group were given routine anti-fall signs and health education, while the patients in the experimental group were given the use and health education of early warning bracelets on the basis of routine. The incidence of fall was recorded. The inpatients ′ nursing job satisfaction scale and the self-designed bracelet use feedback questionnaire (experimental group) were used to evaluate the application effect. Results:No fall occurred in the experimental group, but 4 patients fell in the routine group (13.3%). The incidence of fall in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the routine group ( χ2=4.29, P=0.038). The scores of all dimensions of nursing satisfaction in the experimental group were also higher than those in the routine group ( t values were -8.20--4.05, all P<0.05). Another 26.7% (8/30) of patients said that wearing a bracelet would have a certain impact on hand movement or rest, but all the 30 patients surveyed indicated that they were willing to continue to wear the bracelet. Three nurses said it would not necessarily reduce the incidence of falls, but all the 10 nurses involved said the shift was more convenient. Conclusions:The preliminary clinical trial feedback of the bracelet is good, and the patients and their families have high recognition, which is helpful for the patients and their families to participate in the fall prevention activities and improve the self-management of the patients.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the effect of early ambulation on the rehabilitation of patients after hepatectomy.Methods:Computer was used to search randomized controlled trial (RCT) literature on the effect of early ambulation on the rehabilitation of patients after hepatectomy in Chinese and English databases, such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) , Wanfang Data, VIP, China Biology Medicine, Ovid, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library. The retrieval time was from the establishment of database to May 10, 2020. RevMan 5.3 software was used to conduct Meta-analysis on literature that met the inclusion criteria.Results:A total of 8 RCT articles were included, with a total sample size of 936 cases, including 474 cases in intervention group (early ambulation) and 462 cases in control group (routine activity care) . The results of the systematic review showed that compared with control group, intervention group shorted the first exhaust time [weighted mean difference ( WMD) =-21.01, 95% confidence interval ( CI) (-25.98, -16.04) , P<0.05]and first defecation time [ WMD=-31.97, 95% CI (-54.69, -9.25) , P<0.05]after surgery, decreased gastrointestinal discomfort [relative risk ( RR) =0.44, 95% CI (0.34, 0.56) , P<0.05]and complications [ RR=0.76, 95% CI (0.56, 1.02) , P<0.05]after surgery, and had earlier time to early ambulation [ WMD=-20.64, 95% CI (-21.71, -19.56) , P<0.05], the differences were statistically significant. Conclusions:It is safe and effective to implement early ambulation in patients after hepatectomy, which is beneficial to the recovery of gastrointestinal function of patients, reduces the occurrence of gastrointestinal discomfort and complications, and promotes the recovery of patients.

Objective:To integrate qualitative research on the experience of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) , to understand the experience of patients with pulmonary rehabilitation and its influencing factors, so as to provide evidence support for pulmonary rehabilitation.Methods:Qualitative research on pulmonary rehabilitation experience of COPD patients was retrieved by computer in 8 databases including the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, PubMed, CINAHL, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang and VIP. The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the database to August 20, 2021. The quality of the articles those met the requirements were evaluated by the quality evaluation criteria for qualitative research of the Australian Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Health Care Center, and the results of each study were further integrated and analyzed.Results:A total of 12 articles were included, and 47 clear topics were extracted, and similar topics were summarized into 7 new categories. A total of 3 integrated results were synthesized, namely rehabilitation efficacy, pulmonary rehabilitation motivation, and pulmonary rehabilitation obstacles.Conclusions:COPD patients who can persist in training perceive the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation, and both the pulmonary rehabilitation environment and interpersonal support are factors that promote their pulmonary rehabilitation. The patients' own condition and transportation and economic difficulties are the main obstacles. Therefore, the patients' physical and economic status should be comprehensively evaluated during pulmonary rehabilitation, and the most suitable pulmonary rehabilitation program should be selected.
