Objective:
To investigate the feasibility and efficiency of three-line relaxation-based group intervention on mental stress management among nursing students.
Methods:
A total of 224 nursing students were randomly divided into the intervention group in which three-line relaxation training for 12 weeks were delivered together with psychological health education (PHE), and the control group which only delivered PHE. The SelfRating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the Self Rating Depression Scale (SDS) were used before and after intervention. T-test was used to compare inter-group difference.
Results:
After 4-week intervention, there’s no significant difference in the score of SAS and SDS between the two groups(P>0.05). After 12-week intervention, average SAS and SDS score of intervention group was significantly decreased compared with before intervention (both P<0.01). After 12-week intervention, no significant changes were observed in the score of SAS and SDS in the control group (both P>0.05). After 4-and 12-week intervention, average score in SAS and SDS of intervention group was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).
Conclusion
Three-line relaxation is effective in relieving mental stress of nursing students.

Objective:To establish a questionnaire to assess symptom of embolization syndrome after transcatheter hepatic arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with liver cancer, so as to provide a tool of assessing and managing symptom management after TACE.Methods:From March 2020 to June 2021, through literature review, qualitative interview and Delphi expert consultation, the first draft of symptom assessment questionnaire for TACE post-operative embolism syndrome was prepared. The reliability and validity of the questionnaire were tested in 200 patients with liver cancer treated by TACE in department of Liver Oncology, Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University.Results:According to the feedback from Delphi expert consultation a draft questionnaire with 9 items of physiological symptoms and 6 items of psychological and social symptoms was formed. Item analysis showed that each item in the questionnaire had a good degree of differentiation. There was significant correlation between each item and the total score of the questionnaire. Three factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, naming psychosocial symptom group as factor 1, somatic discomfort symptom group as factor 2 and gastrointestinal reaction symptom group as factor 3, and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 62.592%. Spearman correlation coefficient between this questionnaire and the Anderson Symptom Assessment Scale was 0.855( P<0.05). The Cronbach α of the total questionnaire was 0.898, and. The Cronbach α of the three factors were 0.885, 0.771 and 0.870 respectively. Conclusions:The symptom assessment questionnaire of embolization syndrome after TACE in liver cancer patients prepared in this study has good reliability and validity, which can provide an evaluation basis for the symptom management of TACE.

Objective To explore the application of A-V impulse foot pump in patients with lumbar spine surgery to prevent lower extremity deep venous thrombosis. Methods A total of 139 patients with spinal lesions who took spinal surgery treatment from April 2015 to March 2016 were divided into experimental group (69 cases) and control group (70 cases) by random digits table method. Control group was given normal nursing instruction, and the person who had negative results of B ultrasonic examination in experimental group was accepted physical therapy with A-V impulse foot pump. The patients got secondary ultrasound or CT examination who had the deep venous thrombosis symptoms and/or highly suspected deep venous thrombosis in order to further confirmed, then calculated the incidence rate of two groups with deep venous thrombosis. Results There were 4 cases of 139 patients who got deep venous thrombosis in 2-6 days of postoperative, 1 case in experimental group, 3 case in control group, compared with control group, patients who used A-V impulse foot pump had lower risk of deep venous thrombosis, but there was no significant difference (P>0.05). The operation time, body mass index were (5.00 ± 0.82) h , (30.54 ± 3.93) kg/m2 in patients with deep venous thrombosis and (3.16 ± 0.66) h, (24.90 ± 2.62) kg/m2 in patients without deep venous thrombosis, and there were significant differences(t=5.44, 4.19, P<0.01). Conclusions The application of A-V impulse foot pump has positive significance to prevent the happening of deep venous thrombosis for patients who took spinal surgery, and it is worth to be popularized and applied in clinic.

Objective:
To investigate the prevalence of somatization symptoms and its correlation with social support in patients with depressive disorder.
Methods:
Two hundred and fourteen hospitalized patients with depressive disorder were recruited. Patients were evaluated with Somatic Symptom Inventory (SSI), Perceived Social Support from Family Scale (PSS-Fa), Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) and the general questionnaire.
Results:
The average SSI scores of depressive patients was 49.63±15.53, with 26.2% (56/214) of the patients having moderate to severe level of somatic symptoms. The most common moderate to severe somatic symptoms in depressive patients were "feeling fatigued (61.3%, 131/214), weak (49.5%, 106/214), not feeling well (47.7%, 102/214), feeling faint or dizzy (48.6%, 104/214), or constipation (29.9%, 64/214)" . The average SSRS scores of patients was low (33.24±7.16). The SSI scores and its non-painful dimension (39.05±12.14) were significantly negatively correlated with family support (11.03±3.45) (
