Objective:To conduct a scoping review on the application of telemedicine in patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL), to generalize and summarize the intervention methods, application forms, outcome indicators and effects of telemedicine, so as to provide a reference for healthcare professionals to implement interventions.Methods:Computerized searches of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, China Biology Medicine disc, and VIP were performed with a search period from their establishment to June 1, 2024. The included articles were screened, summarized and analyzed.Results:A total of 14 papers were included. Telemedicine intervention methods included tele-education, tele-exercise, tele-monitoring, tele-consultation, tele-psychological interventions, tele-visits, and tele-evaluation. Application forms involved web-based cloud platforms, social network service systems, telemedicine APPs, and remote portable monitoring devices. Outcome indicators included physical indicators, psychological indicators, quality of life, incidence of lymphedema, degree of lymphedema symptoms, and feasibility indicators.Conclusions:Telemedicine relies on web-based platforms and social network service software to conduct tele-education, tele-consultation, and tele-exercise for BCRL patients, and its feasibility and effectiveness have been proven. In the future, it is necessary to accelerate the establishment of breast cancer telemedicine centers, optimize the telemedicine service team, and increase the investment in the development of portable lymphedema telemonitoring equipment, so as to build a comprehensive and perfect breast cancer telemedicine system and improve the effectiveness of the prevention and treatment of BCRL.

Objective To systematically evaluate and integrate qualitative research related to the psychological experiences and perceptions of body image in bum patients.The goal is to provide a reference basis for developing targeted intervention measures in clinical practice.Methods The databases of CNKI,Wanfang,VIP Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database,China Biomedical Literature Service System,PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,Medline,Cochrane Library,PsycINFO,and Scopus were applied in our study.Relevant qualitative studies on the body image experience of burn patients from the establishment of the databases until December 2022 were collected.The quality of the included literature was assessed using the 2016 edition of the Joanna Briggs Institute(JBI)Centre for Evidence-based Health Care in Australia,and the results of the literature were integrated using aggregative integration.Results A total of 12 pieces of literature were included,from which 40 research findings were extracted.These findings were ultimately summarized into 4 integrated results:diverse traumatic perceptions of body image changes faced by burn patients,active exploration and negative coping strategies towards body image changes faced by burn patients,emotional information needs and post-traumatic growth.Conclusion Burn patients experience various body image issues that hinder their return to normal life.It is crucial for healthcare professionals to timely attend to the physical and mental well-being of the patients,identify body image disorders,assist families in meeting emotional needs,support patients in self-adjustment,and promote positive outcomes.

Objective:To construct an evaluation indicator system for the effectiveness of health education in patients with implanted ports, and to provide a theoretical basis for assessing the outcomes of health education in this patient population.Methods:Based on the Knowledge-Attitude-Practice (KAP) theory, a preliminary framework for the health education indicator system was constructed through literature review and semi-structured interviews. The Delphi method was employed to revise and refine the indices, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to calculate the weight of each indicator.Results:The effective response rates for the two rounds of Delphi consultation questionnaires were 100.00% (22/22) and 90.91% (20/22), respectively. The expert authority coefficients were 0.925 and 0.918, respectively. The coordination coefficients of expert opinions for the first and second-level indicators in the second round of expert consultation were 0.194 and 0.333, respectively. The final evaluation indicator system for health education effectiveness in patients with implanted ports included 3 first-level indicators and 36 second-level indicators.Conclusions:The constructed evaluation indicator system for health education effectiveness in patients with implanted ports is scientific and reliable and facilitates the accurate assessment of health education outcomes in this patient population.
