Objective:To conduct a scoping review of the characteristics, functions, risk of bias and applications of home-based self-management behavior assessment tools for lung transplant patients, so as to provide references for clinical medical staff to conduct further related research.Methods:The relevant literatures were systematically searched in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, Embase, Cochrane Library and CINAHL databases. The search period was from the establishment of the databases to June 30, 2023. The scoping review method framework was used to screen the literature, extract information and standardize the report.Results:A total of 10 167 Chinese and English literatures were searched, and after deduplication and screening, 23 articles that met the criteria were finally included, involving 13 home-based self-management behavior assessment tools for lung transplant patients, including nine specific tools and four universal tools. There were eight kinds of lung transplantation patients whose reliability and validity were not verified. Of the 13 tools, those with single-dimensional assessments and single measures predominate. The level of home self-management behavior of lung transplant patients was reflected mainly through compliance, and medication management was the most frequently assessed content.Conclusions:At present, the measurement of home-based self-management behavior of lung transplant patients is mainly based on questionnaire surveys, and the evaluation tools are mostly single dimensional. The reliability and validity of most evaluation tools in the population of lung transplant patients are not yet clear, and there is a certain risk of bias. It is recommended that researchers pay attention to the reliability and validity verification report of the evaluation tool in the target population when selecting it, and integrate multiple measurement methods to reduce measurement errors.

Objective:To explore the nutritional knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) in patients during the waiting period for lung transplantation, analyze its influencing factors, and provide a reference for individualized nutritional intervention during the perioperative period of lung transplantation.Methods:Totally 240 patients during the waiting period for lung transplantation after lung transplantation evaluation in The Respiratory Center, Wuxi People's Hospital between January and December 2018 were selected using convenient sampling, and investigated with the self-made nutritional KAP questionnaire for patients during the waiting period for lung transplantation. And the influencing factors to their nutritional KAP were analyzed.Results:The nutritional knowledge of patients during the waiting period for lung transplantation was average, with a score of (18.71±4.53) ; the nutritional attitude was good, with a score of (38.00±6.49) ; the nutritional practice was average, with a score of (36.75±4.89) . Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of nutritional knowledge were economic status and whether it was complication with neurological diseases ( P<0.05) ; the influencing factors of nutritional attitude were occupation and serum protein ( P<0.05) ; the influencing factors of nutritional practice were age, educational level and whether it was complicated with urinary system disease ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The nutritional KAP of patients during the waiting period for lung transplantation is affected by age, economic status, comorbidity, occupation and educational level and serum protein. In the perioperative nutritional management of lung transplantation patients, we should fully consider various factors, provide targeted and precision nutritional interventions, improve the nutritional practice and status of patients by improving their nutritional knowledge and attitude.
