Objective:To investigate the clinical effectiveness of Du Meridian moxibustion combined with brisk walking on negative symptoms, cognitive function, and social function in patients with stable schizophrenia, aiming to provide a feasible adjunctive treatment for clinical practice.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was conducted using convenience sampling to recruit 140 patients with stable schizophrenia hospitalized at the Affiliated Brain Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024. Patients were randomly assigned to a control group, Du Meridian moxibustion group, brisk walking group, or combined group, with 35 patients in each group. The control group received standard care. On this basis, the Du Meridian moxibustion group received moxibustion on the Du Meridian, the brisk walking group participated in slow walking exercises, and the combined group received both interventions for 12 weeks. Assessments were conducted at baseline, at 6 and 12 weeks during the intervention, and at 12 weeks post-intervention using the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms, Mini-Mental State Examination, and Social Functioning Scale for Inpatient Psychiatric Patients.Results:A total of 134 patients completed the study: control group ( n = 34), Du Meridian moxibustion group ( n = 34), brisk walking group ( n = 35), and combined group ( n = 31). The combined group demonstrated significantly lower SANS scores at the 12th week of intervention (49.71 ± 4.66) and at 12 weeks post-intervention (53.45 ± 5.34) compared to the Du Meridian moxibustion group (54.91 ± 4.79) and (59.56 ± 5.84), the brisk walking group (56.69 ± 5.59) and (58.51 ± 5.42), control group (65.71 ± 4.95) and (66.21 ± 4.33), with statistically significant differences ( t values were 3.81-13.37, all P<0.05). Regarding cognitive function, the MMSE scores in the combined group at the 12th week of intervention (28.23 ± 1.28) and at 12 weeks post-intervention (27.35 ± 1.76) were higher than those in the Du Meridian moxibustion group (26.79 ± 1.85) and (25.59 ± 2.27) and the brisk walking group (25.88 ± 2.23) and (25.43 ± 1.84), control group (23.65 ± 2.17) and (22.32 ± 2.14), with statistically significant differences ( t values were - 10.28 to - 3.48, all P<0.001). For social function, the SSPI scores in the combined group at the 12th week of intervention (35.71 ± 3.63) and at 12 weeks post-intervention (32.58 ± 3.71) were also significantly higher than those in the Du Meridian moxibustion group (32.21 ± 3.91) and (28.47 ± 3.70) and the brisk walking group (31.83 ± 3.54) and (30.31 ± 3.59), control group (24.53 ± 4.12) and (24.15 ± 3.50) with statistically significant differences ( t values were - 11.56 to - 2.52, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The combination of Du Meridian moxibustion and brisk walking is an effective adjunctive intervention for patients with stable schizophrenia, as it significantly reduces negative symptoms, enhances cognitive function, and improves social functioning.

Objective:To integrate the symptom management experiences of patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), so as to provide a basis for developing symptom management measures.Methods:Qualitative or mixed studies on the symptom management experience of ADHF patients included from establishment of the database to September 2024, were electronically retrieved in PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, EBSCO, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, VIP, China Biomedical Database and other Chinese and English databases and gray literature databases. The quality of the literature was evaluated using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme developed by the Center for Evidence-Based Medicine at the University of Oxford. The results were synthesized through the aggregative integration method.Results:A total of 14 papers were included. Thirty-four findings were distilled into eight categories and three integrative findings, namely, the multiple challenges posed by symptoms (complex and multiple symptomatic somatic experiences, symptom-induced mood changes, and reduced family and social engagement), the unmet needs of patients (insufficient healthcare resources, insufficient supply of discharge services provided by healthcare organizations, and lack of knowledge), and the co-existence of positive and negative coping styles (negative coping styles in symptomatic distress, positive debugging and diversified coping in symptomatic distress) .Conclusions:ADHF symptoms severely affect patients' physical, psychological, and social function. Healthcare professionals should focus on the unmet needs of patients with ADHF and explore patient-engaged models of active symptom management.
