Objective:To explore the applicability of modified comprehensive interventions in the treatment of non-severe dry eye syndrome in military pilots.Methods:A total of 88 military pilots with non-severe dry eye syndrome admitted to the Special Service Department of the 988th Hospital of the Joint Logistic Support Force between December 2021 and December 2023 were divided into an intervention group and a control group using the random number table method, with 44 cases in each. The intervention group received modified comprehensive interventions, while the control group underwent conventional treatment. The Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), break-up time, tear meniscus height, changes in meibomian gland function, and levels of satisfaction of military pilots were compared between the 2 groups. The correlations between the OSDI, break-up time, tear meniscus height and levels of satisfaction were analyzed.Results:Before treatment, there was no significant difference in the OSDI between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). After 4 weeks of treatment, the changes in the OSDI of military pilots were smaller in the intervention group than in the control group ( t=3.21, P=0.002). After 2 and 4 weeks of treatment, the break-up time (both P<0.001) and tear meniscus height ( P<0.001, =0.012) of pilots in the intervention group exceeded those of the control group. In both groups, the break-up time (all P<0.001) and tear meniscus height (all P<0.001) kept increasing after treatment. After 4 weeks of treatment, there were significant differences in the distribution of meibomian gland function between the 2 groups ( Z=-2.55, -2.41, -2.29, P=0.011, 0.016, 0.022). Clinical care, procedure flow, and health education scored higher in the intervention group than in the control group during the survey on levels of satisfaction with the treatment ( t=6.55, 6.77, 3.63, all P≤0.001). The OSDI was negatively correlated with clinical care, procedure flow and health education ( r=-0.286, -0.275, -0.363, P=0.007, 0.010, 0.001) while the break-up time was positively correlated with clinical care and procedure flow ( r=0.248, 0.278, P=0.020, 0.009). Conclusions:The implementation of modified comprehensive intervention measures for dry eye syndrome in military pilots can effectively improve clinical symptoms and leave military pilots more satisfied.

Suffering is prevalent in the palliative care population and is an important factor affecting the quality of life of palliative care patients and their family caregivers. In this paper, we review the assessment content, measurement methods, current application status and advantages and disadvantages of suffering assessment tools for palliative care patients, analyze the problems of current suffering assessment tools for palliative care patients and make suggestions, aiming to provide reference for palliative suffering treatment in China.

Objective To translate the Tool for Evaluating the Ways Nurses Assess Pain (TENAP) in the aged into the Chinese version and to evaluate its reliability and validity. Methods The model of Brislin double translation and back translation as well as expert consultation were used to translate the English version TENAP into the Chinese version. A total of 210 nurses of geriatrics associated departments were investigated. At the same time, the reliability and validity of the TENAP were evaluated. Results The Chinese version TENAP consisted of two parts including the cognition subscale and the behavior subscale, along with a total 18 items. There were 12 items in the cognition subscale; exploratory factor analysis extracted three common factors of it (pain of the aged, analgesic of drugs and pain measurement) which accounted for 47.035% of the cumulative contribution rate; the correlation coefficients among scores of factors and the total score was 0.778 to 0.800; the Cronbach's α and retest reliability of the subscale were 0.756 and 0.762 respectively. There were 6 items in the behavior subscale whose one common factor was extracted with 52.097% for the cumulative contribution rate;the Cronbach's α and retest reliability of the subscale were 0.803 and 0.815 respectively. The average content validity of all items of the Chinese version TENAP was 0.92 and content validity index per item ranged from 0.8 to 1.0. Conclusions The Chinese version TENAP has the acceptable reliability and validity, which can be used to evaluate the knowledge-attitude-practice of nurses in assessing pain of the aged in China.
