Objective:To explore the developmental trajectory and influencing factors of self-management behavior among stroke patients.Methods:A total of 478 ischemic stroke patients admitted to the department of neurology of a grade-Ⅲ hospital in Henan Province from July 2023 to June 2024 were selected as the investigation objects. Baseline data of patients were collected using the general situation questionnaire, stroke knowledge questionnaire, stroke health belief scale, stroke self-management behavior scale and self-rating depression scale. The self-management behavior level of patients was assessed at discharge, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after discharge. Mplus 7.0 software was used to conduct trajectory analysis of stroke patients' self-management behaviors, and multiple Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors associated with the development trajectory types of different stroke self-management behaviors.Results:The self-management behavior scores of stroke patients at discharge, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after discharge were 206.59(167.59, 230.57), 169.59(129.73, 196.73), 149.82(120.89, 171.48), and 147.14(123.02, 181.64), respectively. Four trajectory categories were described. Category 1 was low-level pattern of initial decrease followed by stabilization, accounting for 16.95%(81/478)( P<0.001, intercept=2.701). Category 2 was low-level pattern of initial decrease followed by increase, accounting for 12.97%(62/478)( P<0.001, intercept =2.696). Category 3 was medium-level pattern of initial decrease followed by stabilization, accounting for 57.11%(273/478)( P<0.001, intercept =3.829). Category 4 was high-level pattern of initial decrease followed by increase, accounting for 12.97%(62/478)( P<0.001, intercept=4.366). The self-management behavior of stroke patients with low level of stroke knowledge, low level of health belief, aged 60 to 70 years old, residence in rural areas and middle school and below education level were more likely to belong to the low level group(all P<0.05). Patients with low depression in the low level group were more likely to be classified as low-level pattern of initial decrease followed by increase( P<0.05). Conclusion:The trajectory category of self-management behavior could be predicted by stroke knowledge level, health belief level, age, place of residence, educational background and depression. Their self-management behavior level may be improved through targeted interventions according to the characteristics of different trajectory categories.

Objective:To understand the feelings and experiences of patients with dizziness caused by cerebrovascular diseases, and to provide a reference basis for the development of nursing intervention measures.Methods:Semi-structured interviews were carried out from November 2024 to February 2025 by phenomenology method. The patients with dizziness caused by cerebrovascular diseases who were hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected by purposive sampling method. The interview data were analyzed by the Colaizzi 7-step analysis method to summarize and extract the themes.Results:Finally, 16 patients with dizziness caused by cerebrovascular diseases were interviewed, including 6 males and 10 females, aged 43 to 73 years. The feeling and experience of patients with dizziness caused by cerebrovascular diseases could be summarized into three themes: persistent physical symptoms (physiological function imbalance, the superposition of multiple symptoms); patients had cognitive biases (symptom risk cognitive bias, symptom knowledge cognitive bias, drug effect cognitive bias); patients' self-perceived burden was obvious(physical burden, emotional burden, and economic burden).Conclusions:The patients with dizziness caused by cerebrovascular diseases show multi-dimensional characteristics, and there are many burdens and needs in physiological, psychological and social aspects. We should pay attention to the symptom experience and psychological feelings of such patients, and give targeted health education and multi-dimensional social support.

Chinese herbal piece is an important component of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) system, and identifying their quality and grading can promote the development and utilization of Chinese herbal pieces. Utilizing deep learning for intelligent identification of Chinese herbal pieces can save time, effort, and cost, while also reasonably avoiding the constraints of human subjectivity, providing a guarantee for efficient identification of Chinese herbal pieces. In this study, a dataset containing 108 kinds of Chinese herbal pieces (14 058 images) was constructed,the basic YOLOv4 algorithm was employed to identify the 108 kinds of Chinese herbal pieces of our database The mean average precision (mAP) of the developed basic YOLOv4 model reached 85.3%. In addition, the receptive field block was introduced into the neck network of YOLOv4 algorithm, and the improved YOLOv4 algorithm was used to identify Chinese herbal pieces. The mAPof the improved YOLOv4 model achieved 88.7%, the average precision of 80 kinds of decoction pieces exceeded 80%, the average precision of 48 kinds of decoction pieces exceeded 90%. These results indicate that adding the receptive field module can help to some extent in the identification of Chinese herbal medicine pieces with different sizes and small volumes. Finally, the average precision of each kind of Chinese herbal medicine piece by the improved YOLOv4 model was further analyzed. Through in-depth analysis of the original images of Chinese herbal medicine pieces with low prediction average precision, it was clarified that the quantity and quality of original images of Chinese herbal medicine pieces are key to performing intelligent object detection. The improved YOLOv4 model constructed in this study can be used for the rapid identification of Chinese herbal pieces, and also provide reference guidance for the manual authentication of Chinese herbal medicine decoction pieces.

Objective To explore the effect of intermittence oro-esophageal tube feeding on the comfort and swallowing function of paralytic patients with swallowing disorder.Methods A total of 80 paralytic patients with dysphagia who were hospitalized in Neurology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January to December 2016 and met the inclusion criteria were selected by convenience sampling method and divided into observation group and control group according to random number table, with 40 cases in each group. Intermittence oro-esophageal tube feeding was used in observation group, and nasogastric feeding was used in control group. The nasopharyngeal comfort of both groups on the third and tenth day of intervention and patients' swallowing function before feeding and on the tenth day of intervention were compared respectively.Results On the third and tenth day of intervention, the differences between the two groups on the symptoms of nasal discomfort, throat pain, oropharyngeal dryness and swallowing discomfort were statistically significant (P<0.01). There was no statistical difference in the extent of swallowing disorder between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05). Comparing the two groups on the tenth day of intervention, the difference of patients' swallowing function was statistically significant (P<0.01). Patients' swallowing function recovery on the tenth day of intervention was statistically different between the two groups (P<0.01). Conclusions Intermittence oro-esophageal tube feeding can significantly improve the comfort and the swallowing function in stroke patients. Thus, intermittence oro-esophageal tube feeding is a worthy method to expand in clinical practice.

Objective?To analyze the mediating effects of the sense of coherence between mental stress and depression in stroke patients, and to offer guidance and assistance to reducing mental stress and depression and improving mental health in stroke patients. Methods?Totally 468 stroke patients were selected from the Department of Neurology of a ClassⅢ Grade A hospital in Zhengzhou by convenient sampling between July 2016 and July 2017 and investigated with Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC-13), Chinese Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS) and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). The data were statistically analyzed with SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 22.0. Results?The total average scores for SOC-13, CPSS and CES-D in these stroke patients were (63.39±9.92), (41.65±7.29) and (23.80±4.20), respectively. The sense of coherence was negatively correlated with mental stress and depression (r=-0.47,-0.51;P<0.01), and mental stress was positively correlated with depression (r=0.52,P<0.01). As a meditating variable, the sense of coherence reduced the adverse prediction effects of mental stress on depression from 0.632 to 0.283. According to the re-analysis of the structural equation model, the sense of coherence was the mediating variable between mental stress and depression. The fit indexes were good (χ2/df=2.450, GFI=0.942,AGFI=0.941, CFI=0.940, TLI=0.922, RMSEA=0.052, RMR=0.036). Conclusions?As the mediating effect between mental stress and depression, the sense of coherence reduces the adverse prediction effects of mental stress on depression to some extent. Therefore, the sense of coherence in stroke patients shall be enhanced to improve their mental health and reduce the incidence of depression.
