Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional bowel disorder characterized primarily by abdominal pain and altered defecation habits. In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has made progress in multiple aspects of IBS research and treatment, including syndrome distribution, development of TCM formulas, clinical efficacy evaluation, external therapies, and psychosocial regulation. However, it still faces challenges such as over-reliance on symptomatic manifestations rather than biomarkers for diagnostic criteria, and the lack of high-quality evidence-based data supporting the efficacy of TCM formulas in treating IBS. This paper proposed that TCM diagnosis and treatment of IBS should adhere to the strategy of integrating the holistic concept with syndrome differentiation and treatment, combining TCM external therapies such as acupuncture, moxibustion and acupoint application), and emphasizing individualized diagnosis and treatment for psychosomatic abnormalities. Future research should integrate multi-omics technologies, artificial intelligence and other methods to deepen the understanding of the pathogenesis of IBS and the mechanisms of TCM formulas, so as to promote the standardization and internationalization of TCM in the diagnosis and treatment of IBS.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the deep-seated impeding factors in the implementation process of the policy integrating retail pharmacies into the outpatient pooling system, and explore practical paths to improve policy implementation efficiency. METHODS Based on Smith’s policy implementation process model, an analytical framework was constructed. Selecting Hunan province as a typical sample, this study combined policy text analysis and semi-structured interviews to conduct an in-depth interpretation of relevant policy documents and interviewed a total of 42 key stakeholders from multiple parties, including medical insurance administrative departments, designated medical institutions, retail pharmacies, and insured persons, and the interview texts were analyzed. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The study indicated that the effective implementation of this policy faces four dimensions of impediments: first, the policy itself suffered from systemic design problems and insufficient coordination, leading to source-based constraints; second, there was a lack of effective synergy mechanisms among implementing agencies, resulting in fragmented service and supervision capabilities, and their behaviors were distorted by interest-driven motives; third, there were cognitive biases regarding the policy among the target group, and their behaviors were distorted by interest-driven motives; fourth, environmental factors such as pressure on medical insurance funds and traditional medical-seeking concepts overlapped to restrict the space for policy implementation. Therefore, the following optimization strategies are proposed: strengthening top-level design to eliminate rule ambiguity and implementation deviation; improving multi-party synergy mechanisms to enhance policy operational efficiency; deepening policy interpretation and interest coordination to guide rational behavior among the target group; and breaking environmental barriers to build an external ecosystem adaptable to policy development, thereby promoting the high quality development of incorporating retail pharmacies into the outpatient pooling system.

Objective:To explore the psychological experience of ICU nurses caring for young patients with suicide attempts in a general hospital, and to lay a foundation for the study of psychological adjustment and intervention for ICU nurses.Methods:Twelve ICU nurses who had experience of caring for suicide attempted- young patients from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital Affiliated to Medical College of Zhejiang University were selected by using descriptive qualitative research method and the maximum difference method of the purposive sampling during October to December in 2023, and semi-structured in-depth personal interviews were conducted. Traditional content analysis method was used to sort out and analyze the data and extract the themes.Results:A total of 12 nurses completed the interview, 5 males, 7 females, aged 23-38(29.33 ± 4.14) years, three themes and seven sub-themes were extracted: psychological characteristics of care (avoidance of active communication, fear of care, empathy); the support required for nursing care (support from colleagues; support from nursing managers); self-growth after caregiving (self-growth in terms of life and death, and self-growth in terms of children′s education).Conclusions:ICU nurses have a certain degree of psychological pressure when taking care of young patients with suicide attempts, which will produce empathy for patients and affect their self-values. At the same time, they need support from colleagues and nursing managers. Therefore, general hospitals should pay attention to the psychological state of ICU nurses, carry out the targeted communication training and mental health support for ICU nurses, and help them gain positive nursing career growth and values.
