Objective:The actor-partner interdependence model was used to explore the subject-object effect of family care on disease acceptance in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients and their primary caregivers, and to provide empirical research support for formulating intervention strategies to improve the quality of life of MHD patients and their primary caregivers at the dyadic coping perspective.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. A convenience sampling method was used to select 223 pairs of MHD patients and their primary caregivers who received treatment at three hospitals from December 2023 to May 2024, namely the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University, Qiandongnan People′s Hospital and Qiandongnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. The General Information Questionnaire, Family APGAR Index (APGAR) and the Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS) were used to conduct the survey. An actor-partner interdependence model of the impact of family care levels on disease acceptance was constructed.Results:There were 223 patients with MHD, 134 males and 89 females, aged (48.41 ± 14.41) years. Among the 223 primary caregivers of MHD patients, 83 were males and 140 were females, aged (49.44 ± 12.40) years. The scores of APGAR and AIS for MHD patients were (7.92 ± 1.94), (20.45 ± 4.66) points, and (8.16 ± 1.67), (21.86 ± 3.54) points for their primary caregivers. There were statistically significant differences in scores ( t = - 2.28, - 7.69, both P<0.05). The results of correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation between the degree of family care of MHD patients and the disease acceptance of MHD patients, the family care of primary caregivers, and the disease acceptance of primary caregivers ( r = 0.454, 0.625, 0.515, all P<0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between the disease acceptance of MHD patients and the family care of their primary caregivers, the disease acceptance of primary caregivers, and the family care of primary caregivers and the disease acceptance of primary caregivers ( r = 0.442, 0.813, 0.495, all P<0.05). In terms of the actor effect, the level of family care positively influenced the disease acceptance for both MHD patients and their primary caregivers ( β = 0.715, 0.603, both P<0.001), the actor effect was significant. In terms of partner effect, there was a positive correlation between the family care levels of MHD patients and their primary caregivers and the disease acceptance of the other party ( β = 0.628, 0.725, both P<0.001), the partner effect was significant. Conclusions:There is an interactive effect between the disease acceptance of maintenance hemodialysis patients and their primary caregivers and their levels of family care.

Objective to investigate the efficacy of moxibustion treatment to rheumatoid arthritis(RA) patients and the impact to blood levels of rheumatoid factor(RF) ,C reactive protein(CRP) ,and interleukin-6(IL-6) .Methods RA patients were divided in-to treatment group and comfort group .The two groups were treated by moxibustion and sham-moxibustion for 2 courses ,respec-tievely .Results Overall clinical efficacy rate was higher in treatment group than in comfort group(P<0 .01) .The arthralgia ,ar-throcele ,tenderness and its degrees ,and morning stiffness time were significant improved in both groups(P<0 .05) ,and the indexes were better in treatment group than comfort group(P<0 .05) .The blood levels of RF ,IL-6 and CRP were reduced after treatment in both groups(P<0 .05) ,and which of treatment group reduced more than those of comfort group(P<0 .05) .Conclusion Moxi-bustion treatment can significantly improve clinical outcomes of RA and markedly reduce the blood levels of RF ,IL-6 and CRP of RA patients .

Objective To discuss the influence factors on detection of acid-fast bacilli for tubercu-lnsis patients and to seek for method to improve the quality of sputum sample. Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out in 3102 sputum sample of 1034 patients. Results The positve detection of acid-fast bacilli was found in 570 samples (18.4%). Pus sputum and bloody sputum had no evident influence on the positive detection rate(P>0.05).The other two kinds of sputum had statistical influence on the positive detection rate (P<0.01). Conclusions Attention to the intervention and instruction before collecting sputum sample proved to be important measure to ensure the quality of sputum sample and increase the positve detection rate of acid-fast bacilli.

Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2008;24(18):16-18
Objective We discussed the application and clinical effect of serf nursing education in patients with infectious tuberculosis. Methods We divided 140 patients with infectious tuberculosis into the test group and the control group with 70 cases in each group. The control group adopted health education. The test group received individual and selective self nursing education, including serf mastering of tuberculosis, self monitoring of illness, completion of ther therapeutic process by oneself, serf management of diet, self regulation andf control of motion and education of self nursing technique. The intervention continued for 3 months. Pulmonary tuberculosis specific knowledge inventory, therapeutic compliance investigation inventory and general questionnaire on living (GQOL) were adopted in the two groups and the results were compared. Results The therapeutic compliance and life quality of the test group were evidently higher than those of the control group after self nursing education (P<0.01). The mastering of tuberculosis knowledge of the test group was also superior than that of the control group (P<0.01). Conclusions Self nursing education could increase the therapeutic compliance as well as the life quality of patients.
