Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of building Trust in Nurses (TN) on improving respiratory function, quality of life (QoL) and the self-management ability of patients with bronchopneumonia.

Methods: A total of 92 patients hospitalized in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University in China between November 2019 and October 2020 were prospectively included in the study. Patients were randomly assigned to either the TN group (intervention group; n = 46) or routine nursing (control group; n = 46). Clinical symptom improvement time, pre- and post- pulmonary function (PF) after the nursing intervention, QoL, self-management ability, patient compliance and satisfaction in the 2 groups were recorded and compared.

Results: Clinical symptom improvement time, including the resolution of cough, lung rales, expectoration and wheezing in the TN group were significantly shorter than in the control group (P < .001). PF, including forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and mid-maximum expiratory flow (MMEF) velocity 25% to 75% in the TN group were significantly better than in the control group (P < .001). In addition, patient QoL based on the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) (P < .001), self-management ability based on the Exercise of Self-Care Agency Scale (ESCA) (P < .001), good compliance rate (P = .024) and satisfaction rate (P = .024) in the TN group were all significantly better than in the control group.

Conclusion: Building TN was an effective intervention in patients with bronchopneumonia, and was beneficial for improving clinical symptoms, PF, QoL, self-management ability, compliance and the satisfaction rate in patients.

Purpose: Self-management is the intrinsically controlled ability of an active, responsible, informed and autonomous individual to live with the medical, role and emotional consequences of his chronic conditions in partnership with his social network and the healthcare providers. This study evaluated the self-management behaviours of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and assess the association between health beliefs and self-management behaviours.

Methods: This cross-sectional study investigated 269 rheumatoid arthritis patients' self-management behaviours using the Self-Care Behaviours Scale with a score of 0-4 for each item and a total score of 0-100 points, and health beliefs using the Arthritis Health Belief Inventory with a score of 1-5 for each item and a total score of 0-165 points.

Animals can respond differently to shifting thermal variability versus thermal averages, both of which are changing due to climate warming. How these thermal variables affect parental care behaviors can reveal the ability of parents to modify their behaviors to meet the competing demands of their offspring's thermal needs and self-maintenance, which becomes critical in suboptimal thermal conditions. Further, the time frame used to examine the interplay between temperature and behavioral shifts (e.

Lung cancer, a malignant tumor remaining high incidence and mortality rates in China and globally, places huge burdens to families and the public healthcare system. In order to improve the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, enhance patients' knowledge of the disease, promote evidence-based guidelines to patients, and facilitate shared decision-making, the Chinese Medical Association convened multidisciplinary experts, patients, and public representatives to develop the Chinese Medical Association guideline for clinical diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer for patients. The guideline selected most concerned issues, drew on information from domestic and international guidelines, latest research findings, and clinical experience of lung cancer, and combined them with current clinical practices in China and patients' needs.

Topic Importance: Education and psychosocial support are essential components of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). However, the delivery of education often follows a one-size-fits-all approach, with individual factors that influence learning rarely considered. Moreover, education-related outcomes are frequently overlooked in PR assessments, and inconsistent use of these outcomes has limited our understanding of the impact of education on people with chronic respiratory diseases.
