1.Nursing of patients with stoma chassis leakage and causes analysis
Modern Clinical Nursing 2015;(7):50-52
Objective To investigate the cause of stoma chassis leakage (SCL) and summarize the nursing experience. Method The clinical data of 20 patients with SCL were retrospectively analyzed on the colostomy outpatients. Result The causes of SCL in those stoma patients included insufficient skills of stoma care, peridermal depression, poorly fitting stoma chassis, weight gain, poor positioning and retraction of the stoma. Conclusion Such nursing measures as enhanced awareness of SCL causes, careful reselection of a suitable stoma chassis, addition of ointment patches or heightening of the convex chassis can be effective in prevention of SCL leakage, enhancement of patient′s confidence and improvement of their quality of life.

Objective To explore the effects of acupuncture and individualized occupational therapy on the rehabilitation of patients with unilateral spatial neglect ( USN ) after stroke.Methods Stroke patients with hemiplegia were evaluated by neuropsychological tests,including line bisection,a cancellation test,clock drawing,and figure and shape copying.Sixty-nine right hemispheric stroke patients identified with USN were randomly assigned to 3 groups:20 patients as a control group received conventional rehabilitation therapy ; another 22 patients as an occupational group received type-specific individualized occupational therapy combined with conventional rehabilitation therapy; the remaining 23 patients as an acupuncture combined with occupational therapy group received acupuncture in addition to both conventional rehabilitation therapy and occupational therapy.These three groups were evaluated with neuropsychological tests and the modified Barthel index (MBI) before and after treatment.Results ①MBI scores in the occupational therapy group and the combined group were significantly higher after treatment,but no significant difference was observed in the control group.②The increased MBI scores in the combined and occupational groups were higher than those in the control group.At the same time the increase in MBI scores in the combined group was significantly greater than in the occupational therapy group.③The assessment results with both line bisection and cancellation tests in all three groups were significantly different after treatment.The line bisection results in the occupational therapy group and the combined group were significantly better than in the control group.The cancellation test results in the combined group were significantly better than in the control group.Conclusion These findings show that acupuncture combined with occupational therapy can have a positive effect on neglect recovery and greatly improve the daily life of USN patients.

Objective? To explore the effect of biofeedback exercise on the recovery of rectal function in patients with middle and low rectal cancer. Methods? From June 2015 to December 2016, 126 patients with low and middle rectal cancer who were going to undergo preoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy, anterior rectal resection and preventive stoma were selected by purposive sampling. They were randomly divided into control group 1 (blank control group), control group 2 (pelvic floor muscle exercise group) and invention group (biofeedback exercise group) by random coding generated by SPSS software and were tracked longitudinally for 6 times in 16 months by high resolution anorectal manometry, 11 manometric indices including initial rectal sensory capacity and rectal fecal sensory capacity were measured. Results? The study was completed in 109 cases, including 38 cases in control group 1, 35 cases in control group 2, and 35 cases in invention group. The main effects of the changes of five indices, including anal resting pressure, rectal resting pressure, anal maximum systolic pressure, anal maximum systolic time and anal high pressure zone, were time (P< 0.05). The four indices of rectal initial capacity, rectal fecal sensory capacity, rectal maximum tolerance capacity and rectal compliance in the invention group were higher than those in the control group 1 (P<0.05); the maximum rectal tolerance capacity and rectal compliance in the invention group were higher than those in the control group 2 (P< 0.05). Conclusions? The biofeedback exercise could significantly improve the sensory indicators of patients with middle and low rectal cancer and promote recovery.
