Objective:To analyze and clarify the conceptual connotation of health behaviors in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) .Methods:A three-phase hybrid concept analysis method was used. In the theoretical phase, a systematic literature search was conducted in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, Web of Science, ProQuest, and EBSCO, covering publications up to April 30, 2024. In the fieldwork study, using the purposive sampling method, 8 community residents, 2 family members of residents, and 2 community workers were selected from Wuhan, Yichang, Neijiang, Zigong, Taiyuan, and Dongguan for semi-structured interviews from December 2023 to April 2024. In the analytical, data were compared and integrated.Results:TCM health behaviors are defined as multidimensional and multi-stage actions guided by TCM theories and techniques, aimed at preventing, maintaining, or promoting physical, mental, social, and moral well-being of oneself and others. A total of 8 core attributes were identified: acupoint-based health preservation, diet and herbal maintenance, daily routine regulation, exercise and qigong practice, emotional cultivation, simple lifestyle adjustments, utilization of TCM health resources, and participation in TCM health-related decision-making. Antecedents involve individual, social, environmental, and TCM-specific factors, while consequences include self-health promotion, support of others' well-being, and the dissemination of TCM culture.Conclusions:This study clarified the conceptual structure of TCM health behaviors. The findings can inform the development of localized assessment tools and intervention strategies, thereby supporting clinical nursing practice.

OBJECTIVE:To reevaluate the guidelines/cons ensus,systematic review/Meta-analysis of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)in the prevention of drug-induced gastrointestinal injury ,and to provide evidence-based reference for its clinical use. METHODS: The relevant guidelines/consensus and systematic review/Meta-analysis literatures at home and abroad were systematically reviewed ,and the re evaluation was carried out from the effectiveness ,safety and economy dimensions to analyze the current situation of clinical use of PPIs in the prevention of drug-induced gastrointestinal injury in adults and children. RESULTS : A total of 14 clinical guidelines/consensus and 10 systematic review/Meta-analysis literatures of PPIs for the prevention of drug-related gastrointestinal injury at home and abroad were sorted out and included. In terms of effectiveness ,PPIs could prevent various drug-related gastric mucosal damage ,gastrointestinal bleeding and other damage to the digestive tract ,but PPIs had not yet obtained the indication for children in China ;PPIs were widely used in the treatment of children ’s digestive tract diseases ,which belonged to off-label medication. In terms of safety ,the common adverse reactions of PPIs included headache ,gastrointestinal symptoms,etc. There may be risks of kidney disease and fracture during long-term application. In terms of economy ,for some patients with digestive tract and cardiovascular disease risk ,the economic benefit of NSAIDs combined with PPIs were higher ; esomeprazole 20 mg and 40 mg daily were equally effective in preventing ulcer recurrence caused by NSAIDs ,but increasing the dose could not improve the preventive effect. CONCLUSIONS :The preventive effect of PPIs on drug-induced gastrointestinal injury is supported by evidence-based evidence. It has good safety in adults and has certain economic benefits ;but it belongs to off-label drug use in children in China ,and the safety and economy still need to refer to the results of adult studies. In the future ,a number of multicenter prospective clinical studies based on Chinese pediatric population are still needed to provide more support for the prevention and treatment of drug-induced gastrointestinal injury by PPIs in children.

OBJECTIVE: To provide reference for the selection of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in clinic. METHODS: A questionnaire survey was conducted among pediatricians from medical institutions of 11 provinces (districts, cities) to analyze the drug selection and reasons, dosage form selection [by comprehensive score (CS)] of 3 kinds of ICS as budesonide (BUD), beclomethasone (BDP) and fluticasone (FP), medication compliance and influential factors (by CS). RESULTS: A total of 200 questionnaires were sent out, and 196 valid questionnaires were collected with effective rate of 98.00%. Pediatric clinicians preferred BUD as a control drug for asthma in children (158 cases, 80.61%), followed by FP (22 cases, 11.22%) and BDP (2 cases, 1.02%) and the rest had no tendency (14 cases, 7.14%). Clinicians who chose BUD mainly believed that the drug had better clinical efficacy, and was more recommended by guidelines and experts, more recognized by patients and so on. In addition, of all inhalation equipment for children asthma, pediatric clinicians believed that parents or children were more easier to master atomizer (CS: 4.04), followed by pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDI) (with spacer) (CS: 2.75), pMDI (without spacer) (CS: 1.71), dry powder inhalers (DPI) (turbuhaler) (CS: 1.46) and DPI (accuhaler) (CS: 1.08). For the evaluation of patients’ medication compliance, 48 (24.49%), 88 (44.90%), 58 (29.59%) pediatricians thought that the actual administration accounted for <50%, 50%-74%, 75%-99% of the medical order dosages, respectively. Only 2 (1.02%) subjects thought that the patients would fully obey. The main factors affecting children’s medication compliance were worrying about side effects of long-term medication (CS: 9.19), drug withdrawal after improvement (CS: 8.16), and children’s treatment incompatibility (CS: 7.82). CONCLUSIONS: Pediatricians tend to choose BUD as drug for asthma control, and atomizer is treated as the easiest inhalation equipment for children. At the same time, pediatricians have low evaluation on the medication compliance of parents and children.
