This study aims to assess the impact of comprehensive nursing care on sleep quality and rehabilitation duration in patients experiencing arrhythmia after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Eighty-four patients with post-AMI arrhythmia treated at our hospital from February 2018 to February 2019 were selected and divided based on the nursing care received. The observation group (n = 44) underwent comprehensive nursing interventions, while the control group (n = 40) received standard nursing care. Evaluations of cardiac function indices and sleep quality were conducted before and after the nursing interventions. In addition, comparisons were made between the 2 groups regarding arrhythmia occurrence, patient compliance during care, visual analog scale scores for pain, self-rating anxiety scale scores, self-rating depression scale scores, and overall nursing satisfaction. Following the nursing interventions, the observation group exhibited a significant increase in cardiac output, unlike the control group, which showed no notable change. Both groups demonstrated significant improvements in left ventricular end-diastolic dimension and left ventricular ejection fraction; however, these enhancements were more pronounced in the observation group. Post-intervention, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores were significantly lower in the observation group compared with the control group, indicating better sleep quality. The observation group also experienced a significant reduction in the incidence, frequency, and duration of arrhythmia episodes. Furthermore, this group showed a lower incidence of complications during the intervention period and reported lower visual analog scale, self-rating anxiety scale, and self-rating depression scale scores after nursing care. Nursing satisfaction rates were notably higher in the observation group than in the control group. Comprehensive nursing care significantly enhances sleep quality, speeds up rehabilitation, and increases patient satisfaction in individuals with arrhythmia after AMI. These findings support the clinical adoption of comprehensive nursing interventions for this patient population.

Objectives: We aimed to describe health-related quality of life (HRQoL), overall and across its dimensions, identify associated factors, and assess changes over time among people with HIV (PWH) from the Spanish multicentre CoRIS cohort.

Methods: We developed a mobile app to collect HRQoL data every 3 months using the WHOQOL-HIV-BREF questionnaire (31 items across six domains), among PWH followed in CoRIS in 2021-2023. Factors associated with good/very good global HRQoL and with domain-specific mean scores were identified using multivariable logistic and linear regression, respectively.

Objective: Carotid artery stenosis, primarily caused by atherosclerosis, is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) are established interventions to reduce stroke risk and restore cerebral blood flow. However, the effect of these treatments on circadian rhythms, and their influence on stroke recovery, remains underexplored.

Objective: This study investigates the association between sedentary behavior and sleep quality among postmenopausal women residing in China's plateau regions. Particular attention is given to moderating effects of age, body mass index (BMI), and sleep environment. This study aims to identify modifiable risk factors influencing sleep quality in this high-altitude population.

Aim: To retrieve, evaluate and summarise the best evidence for non-pharmacological management of sleep disturbances in ICU patients, and to provide basis for clinical nursing practice.

Design: This study was an evidence summary followed by the evidence summary reporting standard of Fudan University Center for Evidence-based Nursing.

Methods: All evidence on non-pharmacological management of sleep disturbances in ICU patients from both domestic and international databases and relevant websites was systematically searched, including guidelines, expert consensuses, best practice, clinical decision-making, evidence summaries and systematic review.

Background And Objectives: Social network site addiction is strongly correlated with sleep quality among adolescents. However, the underlying mechanisms driving these relationships require further exploration. This study aims to supplement the understanding of the psychological mechanisms linking social network site addiction and sleep quality by investigating depression as a mediating factor and difficulty describing feelings as a moderating factor.
