Effects of TCM Nursing Based on Syndrome Differentiation on Pulmonary Function and Quality of Life in Patients with Acute Exacerbation of COPD

[Objectives] To investigate the effects of TCM nursing based on syndrome differentiation on pulmonary function and quality of life in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). [Methods] A total of 92 patients with AECOPD who came to Nanchong Chinese Medicine Hospital from March 2022 to February 2023 were selected for the study, and the intervention group (TCM nursing based on syndrome differentiation, 46 cases) and the conventional group (basic nursing, 46 cases) were selected for the study, and the pulmonary function and quality of life of the two groups were compared. [Results] Before nursing, there was no significant difference in levels of forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), and percentage of forced expiratory volume in one second to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) between the intervention group and conventional group ( P >0.05). After 3 months of nursing, the levels of FVC, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC in the intervention group were higher than those in the conventional group ( P <0.05). Before nursing, there was no significant difference in the scores of health, emotion and social functions between the two groups ( P >0.05). At three months of nursing, the scores of health, emotion, and social functions in the intervention group were higher than those in the conventional group ( P <0.05). [Conclusions] The implementation of TCM nursing based on syndrome differentiation in patients with AECOPD can effectively improve the pulmonary function and quality of life of patients, and has significant clinical implementation value.

Research spot and trend of integrative nursing in breast diseases based on data mining

Objective:To explore the development status,research hotspots and future development trend of traditional Chinese medicine nursing in the field of breast diseases by the bibliometric method.Methods:using CNKI,Wanfang,VIP and SINOMED databases as data sources,the literature related to breast traditional Chinese medicine nursing were obtained by keyword search,and BICOMB 2.01 was used to extract and count the information such as publication year,keywords and so on,and the word matrix was formed.SPSS 21.0 was used to cluster the extracted keywords.Results:a total of 839 articles were included,which came from 348 journals and 48 high-frequency words.Four main research topics were formed by keyword clustering:TCM nursing of breast cancer,TCM nursing of breast abscess/mass,TCM nursing of postpartum breast,TCM nursing of acute mastitis.Conclusion:the TCM nursing literature in the field of breast disease is increasing rapidly,but theoverall quality of the published literature is low,so more scientific and standardized TCM nursing original research is urgently needed.
