Background: Accurate pain assessment still faces many challenges, which impact the effectiveness of analgesic interventions. Understanding the current status of pain assessment implementation and its inhibiting and facilitating factors might help facilitate accurate pain assessment.
Purpose: To investigate the nurses' current pain assessment practices for hospitalized patients and analyze the factors that facilitate or inhibit the standardization of pain assessment implementation.
Article Synopsis
- Delirium is a serious acute mental state commonly seen in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), and understanding it is crucial for effective nursing care.
- A study of 215 PICU nurses in Sichuan, China revealed that only 14.4% had a good knowledge of delirium, with an average knowledge score of 9.01 out of 15, indicating a need for better training and education.
- Despite their limited understanding, nurses displayed adequate attitudes and behaviors towards delirium care, suggesting potential for improvement with targeted training.
Background: The aim was to build a risk scoring system to guide the adjuvant treatment for early-stage cervical cancer patients with pelvic lymph node (LN) metastases after surgery.
Methods: A cohort of 1213 early-stage cervical cancer patients with pelvic LN metastases (T1-2aN1M0) were selected from the NCI SEER database, of which 1040 patients received adjuvant external beam radiotherapy concurrent with chemotherapy (EBRT+Chemo) and 173 patients received adjuvant chemotherapy alone. The Cox regression analysis was applied to identify the risk factors associated with worse survival.
Purpose: Postoperative pain is one of the most common postoperative complications, and improper management not only adds to patient suffering but also affects patients' recovery. In this study, we measured patients' postoperative pain to understand the status of patients after surgery and to identify factors influencing postoperative pain.
Design: A descriptive and cross-sectional study METHODS: This survey was conducted at a large tertiary hospital in Chengdu, Sichuan Province.
Background: To develop a risk scoring system to tailor the adjuvant treatment for stage IIIC EC patients after surgery.
Methods: Data source was from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry, where 3251 post-operative stage IIIC EC patients with different adjuvant treatment were included. Cox regression analysis was used to identify risk factors.
Aim: To translate and validate the Chinese version of the MDASI-THY among thyroid cancer patients.
Background: The M.D.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the Quality of Recovery (QoR) from the patients' perspective after surgery, highlighting its importance in postoperative care.
- Researchers used the QoR-15 scale to survey 503 surgical patients at a large hospital in China, comparing their subjective recovery scores before and after surgery.
- Findings showed a significant decrease in overall QoR scores post-surgery, emphasizing the need for better transitional care for patients after they leave the hospital to support their recovery.
