Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor among women worldwide. Endocrine therapy is one of the important adjuvant treatment modalities, which can effectively reduce the mortality and the risk of recurrence, but at the same time patients suffer from the distress caused by treatment-related symptom clusters. Symptom clusters severely affect patients' quality of life and treatment adherence. This paper reviews the endocrine therapy-related symptom clusters and their management in breast cancer patients at home and abroad, and describes the concepts, occurrence mechanisms, theoretical models, assessment tools and management strategies of symptom clusters, with a view to providing references for the scientific management and research of endocrine therapy-related symptom clusters of breast cancer.

Objective:To explore latent categories of decent work perception among nurses in tuberculosis wards and analyze their influencing factors.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select tuberculosis ward nurses from 13 general or specialized hospitals in China in July 2024 for the study. General Information Questionnaire, Decent Work Perception Scale (DWPS), Work-Family Support Scale, and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale were used to survey the tuberculosis ward nurses. Mplus 8.3 software was used for latent profile analysis of decent work perception of nurses in tuberculosis wards. Unordered multicategorical Logistic regression was used to explore the factors influencing the latent categories of decent work perception for nurses in tuberculosis wards.Results:A total of 920 questionnaires were distributed, and 833 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 90.54%. The mean DWPS item score of 833 tuberculosis ward nurses was [3.44 (2.94, 3.88) ]. Decent work perceptions of tuberculosis ward nurses were classified into three latent categories, namely, low decent perception-low occupational recognition type (15.61%, 130/833), medium decent perception-moderate occupational recognition type (50.54%, 421/833), and high decent perception-high occupational recognition type (33.85%, 282/833). Unordered multicategorical Logistic regression analysis revealed that organizational support, psychological resilience, job title, monthly income, hospital class, and number of monthly night shifts were the influencing factors of latent categories of decent work perception among nurses in tuberculosis wards.Conclusions:The decent work perception of nurses in tuberculosis wards is at a medium level. Nursing managers should focus on nurses with low decent perception-low occupational recognition and manage and support nurses according to the characteristics and influencing factors of different categories.

Objective:To explore the chain mediating role of self-management efficacy and self-perceived burden between family function and decision fatigue in gastric cancer patients.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 219 gastric cancer inpatients in Xinxiang Central Hospital of Henan Province from June 2023 to December 2024 as study subjects. Family Assessment Device, Chinese version of the Strategies Used by People to Promote Health, Self-Perceived Burden Scale, and Decision Fatigue Scale were used to conduct the survey. The chain mediating effect were tested using Model 6 in the SPSS PROCESS program.Results:Family function, self-management efficacy, self-perceived burden and decision fatigue scores of gastric cancer patients were (73.08±8.47), (90.15±14.33), (31.64±6.55), and (19.23±3.05), respectively. Univariate analysis showed that age, education level, per capita monthly family income, tumor stage and treatment method were the influencing factors of decision fatigue in gastric cancer patients, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that family function was negatively correlated with self-management efficacy ( P<0.05) and positively correlated with self-perceived burden and decision fatigue ( P<0.05), and self-management efficacy was negatively correlated with self-perceived burden and decision fatigue ( P<0.05), and self-perceived burden was positively correlated with decision fatigue ( P<0.05), and the differences of the above were statistically significant. Mediating effect analysis showed that family function positively predicted decision fatigue in gastric cancer patients, with a direct effect of 0.117, accounting for 62.57% of the total effect. Self-management efficacy and self-perceived burden realized the mediating effect between family function and decision fatigue through three mediating pathways. Mediating pathway 1 was family function → self-management efficacy → decision fatigue, with an effect value of 0.032, which accounted for 17.11% of the total effect. Mediating pathway 2 was family function→ self-perceived burden → decision fatigue, with an effect value of 0.026, which accounted for 13.90% of the total effect. Mediating path 3 was family function → self-management efficacy → self-perceived burden → decision fatigue, with an effect value of 0.012, accounting for 6.42% of the total effect. The total mediating effect was 0.070, accounting for 37.43% of the total effect. Conclusions:Family function can not only directly influence decision fatigue in gastric cancer patients, but also indirectly influence decision fatigue through the mediating role of self-management efficacy and self-perceived burden. Decision fatigue of gastric cancer patients could be reduced in the future by improving family function, increasing patients' self-management efficacy, and reducing their self-perceived burden.

Patients' nutritional information needs and treatment outcomes are closely associated with quality of life. However, most colorectal cancer patients have unmet needs for nutritional information, which may negatively affect prognosis and health outcomes. This review summarizes the content of nutritional information needs, influencing factors, forms of support, and related outcomes among colorectal cancer patients. It aims to provide a reference for developing personalized and targeted nutritional information support interventions for this population.

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:To systematically evaluate and synthesize qualitative studies on the illness experience of patients with heart failure, in order to inform the development of targeted health management and care strategies to improve patients' quality of life.Methods:A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, Wanfang Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP Database, and China Biology Medicine disc from inception to January 31, 2025. Relevant qualitative studies on the illness experience of patients with heart failure were retrieved. Quality appraisal and data extraction were performed, and Meta-synthesis methods were used to integrate the findings.Results:A total of 12 studies were included, all of which were rated as grade B in quality appraisal. From these studies, 52 distinct findings were extracted and grouped into 10 new categories. These were further synthesized into 4 integrated themes: multidimensional decline in physical, psychological, and social functioning; increased need for support systems; negative experiences with disease perception and self-management; diverse strategies for disease acceptance and coping.Conclusions:The illness experience of heart failure patients is multidimensional. Medical staff should pay close attention to their physical, psychological, and social needs and adopt a patient-centered care model to deliver personalized and dynamic healthcare, thereby improving quality of life and clinical outcomes.
