Objective To explore the effect of WeChat education and telephone follow-up on reducing depression incidence of primipara in stegmonth.Methods One hundred and six primiparas who have got labored were numbered by the order of discharge from hospital and ramdomized in equal number into observation group(n=53)and control group(n=53)by random digit table. Both groups were re-diagnosed on time and the observation group also received WeChat education and telephone follow-up in order to compare the depression incidence of primiparas in both groups.Result The depression incidence of the observation group was lower than that of the control group and before intervention with statistical difference(P<0.05).Conclusion A communication platform is established between nurses and primiparas by WeChat education and telephone follow-up with subsequent, dynamic and individualized management mode, which has improved self-nursing ability of primipara and reduced the depression incidence in stegmonth.

Objective To investigate the effect of health education on the willingness and knowledge about cervical examinations among fertile women.Methods Eight hundred fertile women visiting our hospitals for cervical examinations during January 2006 and December 2009 were managed with health education.Their willingness and knowledge about cervical examinations after the health education were compared with those before the education.Results The rate of willingness to take cervical examinations after the health education was significantly improved,compared to pre-health education(P<0.05).The scores on the knowledge about cervical cancer,impotence for health education,preventive method and regular cervical examinations after health education were all significantly improved compared to pre-education(all P<0.05).Conclusions Health education may significantly improve the willingness and knowledge about the cervical examinations among the fertile women.During health education,we should attach importance to the groups of high risks and adopt individualized and practical interventional strategies.

Objective To identify the prevalence and etiology of kidney disease and the related risk factors in type 2 diabetic patients in rural Shanghai.Methods A cross-sectional study in type 2 diabetic patients was conducted in a community of Shanghai.Questionnaire,clinical examination and laboratory tests were completed to collect the information about sociodemographic and healthcare characteristics.Results A total of 1421 eligible patients with complete information were screened from 1487 type 2 diabetic patients between November 2008 and March 2009.Of them,40.75% were men,59.25% were women,aged 37-86 (61.33 ± 9.65 ) years old,with diabetic duration of 0.25-43.92 (7.85 ± 6.34) years.Among them,43.42% had diabetic retinopathy,21.18% had neuropathy; 69.95% met the screening definition for hypertension,76.07% for hyperlipidemia,15.55% for hyperuricemia and 23.65% for cardiovascular disease.The control rates of fasting blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin,blood pressure and serum cholesterol were 57.71%,33.99%,14.22% and 2.46%,respectively.The prevalence of kidney disease,diabetic nephropathy and non-diabetic renal disease was 41.31%,18.51% and 13.44%,respectively; and 9.36% were diagnosed as renal insufficiency of unknown reasons.Age,diabetic duration,hyperuricemia,diabetic retinopathy and poor control of blood pressure were independently associated with kidney disease;age and poor control of blood pressure were independently associated with diabetic nephropathy; age and hyperuricemia were independent risk factors of renal insufficiency in patients with diabetic nephropathy.Conclusions Although the diabetic duration of these subjects is relatively short,the prevalence of complications including diabetic nephropathy is high.The high prevalence of non-diabetic renal disease shows the importance of further screening and diagnoses for prevention.Strict control of blood glucose,blood pressure,serum cholesterol and serum uric acid are key points of cutting down the prevalence of diabetic nephropathy and chronic kidney disease.
