Objective To analyse the content and structure of the health management policy text for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in China, and to provide a reference for the optimization and improvement of subsequent relevant policies. Methods We searched for relevant policy documents on COPD health management at the national level from January 2017 to December 2023, constructed a two-dimensional analysis framework for policy tools and chronic disease health management processes, coded and classified policy texts, and used content analysis method to analyze policy texts. Results Twenty-four policy texts were included. There were 183 codes for policy tool dimension, with supply based, environmental based, and demand based tools accounting for 43.72%, 47.54%, and 8.74%, respectively. There were 124 codes for the dimension of health management processes, with health information collection and management accounting for 12.10%, risk prediction accounting for 14.52%, intervention and treatment accounting for 66.13%, and follow-up and effectiveness evaluation accounting for 7.26%. Conclusions At present, the proportion of policy tools related to the management of COPD in China needs to be dynamically adjusted. Environmental tools should be appropriately reduced, the internal structure of supply tools should be optimized, the driving effect of demand tools should be comprehensively enhanced, the coupling of COPD health management processes should be strengthened, and the relevant policy system and overall quality should be continuously improved.
ObjectiveVideo electroencephalography (VEEG) monitoring for health education of elderly patients based on a process-based communication model, and explore the impact of this model on the success rate, negative emotions, nursing satisfaction, and active cooperation rate of such patients.MethodsFrom September 2017 to September 2019, 118 patients with suspected epilepsy, encephalitis and other diseases who required VEEG monitoring in Suining Central Hospital were selected for this study (patients aged 61 to 73 years; 54 males and 64 females). Patients were divided into 2 groups using a random number table method, 59 patients in each group.A group received routine nursing, and B group received health education based on the process communication model. The monitoring success rate, negative emotion, active cooperation rate, and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups.ResultsThe total effective rate in the B group was 86.44%, which was significantly higher than 76.27% in the A group (P<0.05). After nursing intervention, the scores of anxiety and depression in the two groups were significantly decreased, but the decline was greater in the B group (P<0.05). The active cooperation rate and nursing satisfaction of the B group were significantly higher than those of the A group (P<0.05).ConclusionCompared with conventional nursing, health education based on process communication mode can significantly improve the success rate of VEEG monitoring in elderly patients, alleviate the negative emotions of patients, improve the active cooperation rate and nursing satisfaction.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo compare the reliability of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) and APACHE Ⅲ to estimate mortality of critical patients in abdominal surgery. MethodsTwo hundred and sixtyone critical patients in abdominal surgery were included in this study. The clinical data of the first day in ICU were collected and evaluated with both APACHE Ⅱand APACHE Ⅲ prognostic systems and statistical analysis were performed. Probability of survival (Ps) was compared with actual mortality. ResultsThe scores of APACHE Ⅱ and APACHE Ⅲ of death group were significantly higher than those of survival group respectively (P＜0.01). The actual mortality of patients whose Ps was no more than 0.5 was higher than that whose Ps was over 0.5 (P＜0.01). With two prognostic systems, the scores and mortality were the highest in pancreatitis patients and the lowest in patients with gastrointestinal malignant tumor. ConclusionAPACHE Ⅱ and APACHE Ⅲ prognostic systems can be effectively applied to the estimation of mortality of critical patients in abdominal surgery. For certain diagnostic categories, APACHE Ⅲ is better than APACHE Ⅱprognostic system.
ObjectiveTo translate the King’s Brief Interstitial Lung Disease (K-BILD) to Chinese, so as to provide an well reliability and validity assessment instrument for health status of patients with interstitial lung disease.MethodsBrislin’s transition model, six expert’s panel and pre-survey were used for initial Chinese version of K-BILD. Items analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), internal consistency reliability and test-retest reliability were used for validity and reliability test with 122 respondents.ResultsTen-item Chinese version of K-BILD were proved to have great psychometric qualities, two factors were extracted by EFA, which could explain 63.35% of the total variance. Furthermore, the CFA demonstrates the fit indices of two-factors mode: χ2/df=0.797, RMSEA=0.000, NFI=0.848, IFI=1.048, CFI=1.000, TLI=1.071. Cronbach’s α and Guttman Split-half were 0.893 and 0.861, respectively. Besides, the test-retest reliability of the scale was 0.805.ConclusionThe Chinese version of K-BILD scale has good validity and reliability, which is applicable for health status assessment in patient with interstitial lung disease.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the impact of different electronic health technologies on weight loss outcomes in overweight and simple obesity populations. MethodsThe Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed and WOS databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) related to the objectives from inception to May 2024. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed by using RevMan 5.4 and Stata 18 software. ResultsA total of 9 RCTs involving 2 416 patients with overweight or simple obesity were included. The meta-analysis results showed that body weight (MD=−0.81, 95%CI −1.1 to −0.52, P<0.001), BMI (MD=−0.63, 95%CI −0.89 to −0.37, P<0.001), waist circumference (MD=−1.06, 95%CI −1.70 to −0.42, P<0.001) and energy intake (SMD=−0.44, 95%CI −0.75 to −0.13, P=0.005) in the e-health technology group were significantly improved compared with the control group. But there was no statistically significant difference in physical activity between two groups. ConclusionThe available evidence suggests that e-health technology is an effective tool for weight loss. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
Abstract: Objective To compare the multiple organ dysfunction score (MODS), the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), the acute physiology, age, and chronic health evaluation system Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ), the acute physiology, age, and chronic health evaluation system Ⅲ(APACHE Ⅲ) in evaluating risks for patients after cardiac surgery, in order to provide better treatment and prediction of prognosis after cardiac operation. Methods A prospective study was carried out on 1 935 cardiac postoperative patients, including 1 050 males and 885 females, enrolled in cardiac postoperative intensive care unitof Anzhen hospital between October 2007 and April 2008. The age of the patients ranged from 18 to 86 years with the mean age of 53.96 years. The patients underwent the surgery because of various cardiac diseases including coronary heart disease, valve disease, congenital heart disease, aortic aneurysm, pericardial disease, atrial fibrillation, and pulmonary embolism. We used MODS, SOFA, APACHE Ⅱ, and APACHE Ⅲ respectively to calculate the value of the first day after operation, the maximum value during the first three days, the maximum value, and the change of the value between the third day and the first day for every patient, and then we compared the calibration and discrimination of these different systems using HosmerLemeshow goodnessoffit analysis and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve. Results There were 47 perioperative deaths because of circulating system failure, respiration failure, kidney failure, liver failure or nervous system diseases. The death rate was 2.43%. In discrimination analysis, the area under the curve (AUC) in ROC of the first day value after operation, the maximum value, the maximum value during the first three days, and the change of value between the third day and the first day for MODS were respectively 0.747, 0.901, 0.892, and 0.786; for SOFA were respectively 0.736, 0.891, 0.880, and 0.798; for APACHE Ⅱ were respectively 0.699, 0.848, 0,827, and 0.562; for APACHE Ⅲ were respectively 0.721, 0.872, 0.869, and 0.587. In calibration analysis, we compared the χ2 value of the first day value, the maximum value, the maximum value during the first 3 days, and the change of value between the third day and the first day of these systems. χ2 value of MODS was 4.712, 5.905, 5.384, and 13.215; χ2 value of SOFA was 8.673, 3.189, 3.111, and 14.225; χ2 value of APACHE Ⅱ was 15.688, 10.132, 8.061, and 42.253; χ2 value of APACHE Ⅲ was 13.608, 11.196, 19.310, and 47.576. AUC value of MODS and SOFA were all larger than those of APACHE Ⅱ and APACHE Ⅲ (Plt;0.05); AUC value of APACHE Ⅱ was smaller than that of APACHE Ⅲ (Plt;0.05). Conclusion MODS, SOFA, APACHE Ⅱ and APACHE Ⅲ are all applicable in evaluating risks for patients after cardiac surgery. However, MODS and SOFA are better than APACHE Ⅱ、APACHE Ⅲ in predicting mortality after cardiac surgery. In cardiac surgery, the complicated APACHE Ⅱ and APACHE Ⅲ systems can be replaced by MODS and SOFA systems which are simpler for use.
