Objective:To explore in depth the real experiences of preoperative prehabilitation among colorectal cancer patients undergoing stoma surgery, in order to provide a reference for the development of preoperative prehabilitation protocols.Methods:This study was a descriptive qualitative research. Using purposive sampling, 18 colorectal cancer ostomy patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Anorectal Surgery of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from March to August 2024 were selected for semi-structured in-depth interviews. Thematic analysis was conducted using content analysis methods.Results:The experiences of colorectal cancer ostomy patients with preoperative prehabilitation were summarized into four major themes: cognition and attitudes toward prehabilitation (willingness to actively participate, expectations for prehabilitation outcomes, psychological barriers), positive effects of prehabilitation (promoting postoperative recovery, improving adverse outcomes, enhancing stoma adaptation), challenges of prehabilitation (poor physical condition, negative emotions, inadequate preparation time) and suggestions and needs regarding prehabilitation (availability of information resources, refinement of individualized programs, need for psychological support) .Conclusions:Colorectal cancer ostomy patients generally hold a positive attitude toward preoperative prehabilitation, which helps accelerate postoperative recovery. Medical staff should enhance patient compliance and engagement by constructing an information support and shared decision-making model. Meanwhile, a tripartite psychological support system involving hospitals, communities, and families should be established, and a personalized and tiered prehabilitation program should be developed to ensure the safe and effective implementation of prehabilitation protocols, thereby improving the overall effectiveness of prehabilitation.

Objective This study aims to investigate the current status and potential profiles of emotional inhibition in stoma patients with colorectal cancer,to analyze the differences and influencing factors,and thereby provide a basis for the development of intervention strategies.Methods A convenience sample of 348 colorectal cancer patients with ostomies was recruited from colorectal surgery departments and ostomy outpatient clinics of a tertiary A hospital in Anhui Province.Data were collected using the General Information Questionnaire,Emotional Inhibition Scale,Chinese Perceived Stress Scale,10 item Conner Davidson Resilience Scale,and Family Care Index Questionnaire.Latent profile analysis was performed using Mplus 8.3,while univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were conducted using SPSS 26.0.Results Valid questionnaires were collected from 336 participants(response rate 96.6％).Colorectal cancer patients with ostomies demonstrated a mean emotional inhibition score of 30.84±10.49.Latent profile analysis identified 3 distinct emotional inhibition patterns:high inhibition-suppressive type(31.25％),moderate inhibition-adaptive type(39.88％),and low inhibition-excessive type(28.87％).Gender,residential location,household income per capita,ostomy self-care proficiency,perceived stress levels,psychological resilience scores and family functioning status emerged as significant determinants of emotional inhibition heterogeneity among colorectal cancer patients with ostomies across distinct latent profiles(P＜0.05).Conclusion Colorectal cancer patients with ostomies exhibit significant heterogeneity in emotional inhibition profiles.Clinicians should conduct early identification of these latent classes through standardized assessments and develop tailored interventions to improve emotional inhibition outcomes in this clinical population.

Objective To explore and analyze the current situation of consumer health activation index and its influencing factors in hospitalized elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions,and to provide reference basis for clinical intervention.Methods Convenience sampling method was used to select 332 hospitalized elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions from a tertiary hospital in Hefei City from July to December 2024 as the study subjects,and general information questionnaire,Consumer Health Activation Index,Health Literacy Management Scale,Scale of the Elderly Self-neglcet(Rural),and Perceived Social Support Scale were used to investigate the current situation of consumer health activation index of hospitalized elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions.Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were employed to explore the influencing factors of consumer health activation index in patients with multiple chronic conditions.Results A total of 332 questionnaires were distributed,and 325 valid questionnaires were retrieved.The score of the consumer health activation index of hospitalized elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions was(61.68±15.12).The results of multiple linear regression showed that literacy,average monthly household income,number of chronic diseases,medication frequency,self-care ability,health literacy management,perceived social support and self-neglect were the influencing factors for the positivity of hospitalized elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions(P＜0.05),which could explain 59.9％of the variance of the consumer health activation index of hospitalized elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions.Conclusion The consumer health activation index of hospitalized elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions is at a low level.In the future,precise and systematic intervention measures for enhancing positive health status can be formulated by taking into account relevant influencing factors,in order to promote the transformation of patients from passive health to active health,and thereby facilitating positive aging.

Objective To explore the impact and threshold effect of productive engagement on the elderly patients with chronic diseases with demoralization syndrome,and to provide theoretical basis for further improving the elderly patients with chronic diseases with demoralization syndrome.Methods A total of 350 elderly patients with chronic diseases from July to December 2024 in a tertiary hospital in Hefei were selected as the research subjects by convenience sampling method,and the general information questionnaire,Productive Engagement Scale and Demoralization Scale-Ⅱ were used for investigation.Using multiple stratified regression analysis to explore the impact of participation in productive activities on dementia syndrome in elderly patients with chronic diseases,and conducting threshold effect analysis.Results 341 valid questionnaires were collected.The score of demoralization syndrome in elderly patients with chronic diseases was 14.00(11.00,17.00),and the score of productive engagement was 37.00(29.50,46.00).Stratified regression analysis showed that productive engagement could independently explain 8.7％of the variance(P＜0.05).Curve fitting and threshold effect analysis showed that the degree of demoralization syndrome was not affected when the score of productive engagement of elderly patients with chronic diseases was ≤27 points(P＞0.05),and it was decreased with the increasing of productive engagement score＞27 points(P＜0.001).Conclusion The demoralization syndrome of elderly patients with chronic diseases were in the middle level,and productive engagement is negatively correlated with demoralization syndrome.Healthcare professionals can improve the level of demoralization syndrome by encouraging elderly patients with chronic diseases to actively participate in productive engagement activities.

Objective To explore the latent profile analysis of oral frailty in elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions and to analyze the influencing factors of different potential profiles in order to provide a theoretical basis for constructing clinical intervention programs.Methods Convenience sampling method was used to select elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions in a tertiary hospital in Hefei City from July to December 2024 as the survey subjects.General information questionnaire,the Chinese version of the Oral Frailty Index-8,Mini-Nutritional Assessment Short-Form,Consumer Health Activation Index and Family APGAR Index Questionnaire were used to conduct the survey,and multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors.Results A total of 418 elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions were included,with a total oral frailty score of(7.21±2.83).Oral frailty in elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions can be classified into 3 potential profiles,namely severe oral frailty-low oral functioning group(60.53％),moderate oral frailty-high social behaviors group(8.85％),mild oral frailty-high oral health behavior group(30.62％).Age,family care,type of chronic disease,type of oral medication,and consumer health activation index were influential factors for different potential profiles(P＜0.05).Conclusion The oral frailty in elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions was heterogeneous.Caregivers should focus on the severe oral frailty-low oral functioning group and the moderate oral frailty-high social behavior group,and develop targeted interventions according to the patients'different profile characteristics and influencing factors to prevent and delay the occurrence of oral frailty.
