A WeChat-based self-compassion training to improve the treatment adherence of patients with schizophrenia in China: Protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: At present, adherence to antipsychotic treatment is often poor, leading to the recurrence of symptoms. This increases the likelihood of the patient experiencing disability and thus increases the disease burden for the patient, their family, and society as a whole. However, to date, there is no clear evidence regarding the effect of medication adherence interventions on outcomes for patients with schizophrenia.

Dignity and its related factors among older adults in long-term care facilities: A cross-sectional study.

Objectives: This study aimed to explore the dignity and related factors among older adults in long-term care facilities.

Sodium Danshensu promotes the healing of stage 2 pressure injury wounds in ischemia/reperfusion injury rat models: possible regulation of apoptosis and inflammatory response.

Objective: To investigate the protective effect and possible mechanism of sodium Danshensu (SDSS) against pressure injury caused by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.

Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups of eight rats each: control group, model group, 10 mg/kg SDSS-treated group, 20 mg/kg SDSS-treated group, and 40 mg/kg SDSS-treated group. We used two round ferrite magnetic plates of 15 mm diameter and 3 mm thickness to establish stage 2 pressure injury model rats.
