Objective:To evaluate the effect of an obstetric artificial intelligence (AI) assistant combined with a family-centered health education model on maternal self-care ability, comfort status, and spousal caregiving ability.Methods:This prospective, single-center, parallel randomized controlled trial used 1∶1 randomization and was conducted as a superiority trial. Postpartum mothers and their spouses admitted to family-style single rooms at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University between October 2024 and April 2025 were enrolled and randomly assigned to control or intervention groups using a random number table. The control group received conventional health education, while the intervention group received conventional health education plus the AI-assisted family-centered model. Interventions were administered at 2 hours, 6 hours, and 24 hours postpartum, and before discharge. Outcomes included maternal self-care ability, comfort status, and spousal caregiving ability, which were assessed at 2 hours postpartum and before discharge. Data were analyzed using independent and paired t-tests and Chi square tests. Results:Of the 88 mother-spouse dyads initially recruited, four were excluded due to mother-infant separation (e.g., neonatal jaundice), leaving 84 dyads (42 per group). After the intervention, the intervention group showed significantly higher maternal self-care ability scores [(192.81±13.80) vs. (181.00±21.41) scores, t=3.00], higher maternal comfort scores [(104.43±7.52) vs. (96.00±14.29) scores, t=3.38], and better spousal caregiving ability [(6.07±3.13) vs. (9.50±5.02) scores, t=-3.76] compared to the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The obstetric AI assistant combined with a family-centered health education model significantly improved maternal self-care ability and comfort status, as well as spousal caregiving ability.

Objective:To explore the incidence of delirium in patients of advanced age hospitalized in internal medicine departments and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 586 patients of advanced age hospitalized in internal medicine departments at the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine Third Affiliated Hospital from May 2023 to May 2024. Patients were divided into a delirium group and a non-delirium group based on whether delirium occurred. Univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression analysis were used to explore the factors influencing delirium in patients of advanced age hospitalized in internal medicine departments.Results:Among 586 patients of advanced age hospitalized in internal medicine departments, the incidence of delirium was 21.2% (124/586). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age, activities of daily living (Barthel Index), folate deficiency, sleep disorders, and indwelling catheters were factors influencing delirium in patients of advanced age hospitalized in internal medicine departments ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The incidence of delirium is high among patients of advanced age hospitalized in internal medicine departments. Healthcare professionals should pay particular attention to elderly patients with advanced age, limited activities of daily living, folate deficiency, sleep disorders, and indwelling catheters, and should implement targeted preventive strategies as early as possible.

Objective:To investigate the awareness levels of doctors from various departments regarding fertility preservation to provide reference and suggestions for further improving awareness and promoting multidisciplinary development in fertility preservation.Methods:From November to December 2023, the China Alliance of Fertility Preservation initiated this survey covering 88 hospitals in 23 cities across 20 provinces in China. The survey focused on the degree of understanding of basic concepts, technological perceptions, treatment concepts, and related challenges regarding fertility preservation. Descriptive statistics and Fisher's exact test were used to analyze the difference in awareness levels across various departments.Results:There was a significant difference in the awareness of fertility preservation guidelines among physicians from different departments ( P<0.001). Reproductive center physicians had the highest level of understanding [68.3% (41/60)]. Doctors in the reproductive centers had a higher awareness rate of the five fertility preservation techniques (ovarian tissue cryopreservation, oocyte cryopreservation, sperm cryopreservation, testicular tissue cryopreservation, and embryo cryopreservation) than that in other departments (all P<0.05). Regarding treatment concepts, more reproductive center physicians believed that psychological counselling about fertility preservation before oncological treatment was necessary ( P=0.016). Hematologists had more worries and concerns about fertility preservation treatment. Additionally, 96.7% (58/60) of reproductive center physicians expressed the need to establish effective referral mechanisms within the same city, province, or across provinces. However, 55.6% (35/63) of oncologists, 64.6% (31/48) of hematologists, and 77.8% (7/9) of pediatricians considered treating primary tumors far more important than fertility preservation. Conclusion:Doctors from different departments have varying levels of understanding regarding fertility preservation. It is necessary to strengthen the dissemination and training of fertility preservation knowledge among physicians from various departments, as well as to promote a multidisciplinary treatment model to improve efficiency, to establish a comprehensive referral mechanism to improve patients' opportunities for fertility preservation.
