Objective:To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of kinesiophobia in chronic pain patients undergoing conservative treatment for lumbar disc herniation (LDH), providing reference and basis for reducing the occurrence of kinesiophobia in this patient population.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted from May 2023 to January 2024. A convenience sample of chronic pain patients undergoing conservative treatment for LDH in Guangdong Second Provincial General Hospital was selected as the study population. Data were collected by the general information questionnaire, Numerical Rating Scale, Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia-11, Psychological Inflexibility in Pain Scale, and Chronic Pain Self-efficacy Scale. A random forest model was constructed to rank variable importance, and binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of kinesiophobia.Results:The effective response rate of the questionnaire was 96.8% (270/279). Among 270 patients, there were 139 males and 131 females, 92 patients aged 18-40 years, 132 patients aged 41-60 years, and 46 patients aged >60 years old. The total kinesiophobia score for chronic pain patients undergoing conservative treatment for LDH was (31.00 ± 5.09) points, with a kinesiophobia prevalence of 79.6% (215/270). The random forest algorithm identified eight influencing factors: pain self-efficacy, psychological flexibility, physical exercise after low back pain onset, duration of pain, pain status, understanding of LDH, marital status, and pain intensity. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that physical exercise after low back pain onset ( OR=0.583, 95% CI 0.344-0.986), pain status ( OR=0.424, 95% CI 0.206-0.873), psychological flexibility ( OR=1.102, 95% CI 1.052-1.155), pain self-efficacy ( OR=0.923, 95% CI 0.895-0.953) were significant influencing factors of kinesiophobia in chronic pain patients undergoing conservative treatment for LDH (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The prevalence of kinesiophobia is high among chronic pain patients undergoing conservative treatment for LDH. Physical exercise after low back pain onset, pain status, psychological flexibility, and pain self-efficacy are significant influencing factors. Healthcare professionals should pay increased attention to kinesiophobia in chronic pain patients undergoing conservative treatment for LDH and implement targeted early interventions to reduce its occurrence.

OBJECTIVE To understand the current status of prevention and control of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)diagnosis and treatment technique-related infections in various grades of hospitals in Jiangsu Province so as to provide bases for management departments to put forward the norms.METHODS The questionnaire was de-signed by the methods such as Delphic correspondence,the current status of prevalence,prevention and control of TCM diagnosis and treatment technique-related infections among the health care workers in the hospitals of Jiang-su Province was investigated by using convenience sampling method.RESULTS A total of 508 questionnaires were collected from 13 cities of Jiangsu Province.The results showed that the TCM treatment room(63.64％)was the most common operation site for minimally invasive TCM diagnosis and treatment techniques,the bedside(62.50％)of the patients was the major operation site for Chinese medicine enema,and the central sterile supply department(55.31％)was the preferred choice of cleaning and disinfection site for daily recycled TCM apparatu-ses.'One person used for once,airing and preparing for later use after cleaning and disinfection for once'was the major approach taken for the cleaning and disinfection of Gua Sha boards(82.45％)and TCM pots(87.50％).67.87％of the health care workers said that they wound cleaned and disinfected the medical apparatuses of dress-ing,ironing and fumigation every time after the use.The natural ventilation and ultraviolet light(50.39％)was the major method that was taken for the ventilation and disinfection of the treatment rooms for TCM operations.Quick-drying hand disinfectant and non-touch hand-washing equipment(39.37％)were the most commonly e-quipped hand hygiene facilities.CONCLUSIONS The prevention and control of TCM diagnosis and treatment tech-nique-related infections and the health care workers' capabilities for prevention and control of the infection have made remarkable progress in the various grades of hospitals in Jiangsu Province.However,there is still room for further improvement,and the standardized management and construction should be completed so as to safeguard the TCM diagnosis and treatment techniques.

Objective To investigate the mediating effect of psychological flexibility on the relationship between pain self-efficacy and kinesiophobia in patients with lumbar disc herniation(LDH),so as to provide references for relief from kinesiophobia of the patients.Methods Convenience sampling was used to select 256 patients with LDH as the research subjects from the Outpatient Department of Spinal Orthopaedics of a Grade IIIA hospital in Guangdong Province between May and December 2023.The subjects were surveyed with a general information questionnaire,the kinesiophobia assessment scale,psychological flexibility inventory for pain patients,and chronic pain self-efficacy scale.The mediation effect of psychological flexibility on pain self-efficacy and kinesiophobia was analysed using SPSS 26.0 and the PROCESS 3.5 macro.Results The scores for kinesiophobia,psychological flexibility and pain self-efficacy among the LDH patients were 31.66±4.73,55.26±11.06 and 68.14±17.48,respectively.Kinesiophobia was positively correlated with the psychological flexibility(r=0.545,P<0.001)and negatively correlated with the pain self-efficacy(r=-0.599,P<0.001).The psychological flexibility was negatively correlated with the pain self-efficacy(r=-0.510,P<0.001).Psychological flexibility partially mediated the relationship between pain self-efficacy and kinesiophobia,with a mediating effect of-0.045,accounting for 27.78%of the total effect.Conclusion The patients who have LDH and under conservative treatment exhibit a high level of kinesiophobia and with a moderate levels of pain self-efficacy and psychological flexibility.The medical staff can improve the self-efficacy and psychological flexibility of patients,so as to reduce kinesiophobia level and its incidence.
