Effects of humanized nursing care on negative emotions and complications in patients undergoing hysteromyoma surgery

BACKGROUND Uterine fibroids,are prevalent benign tumors affecting women of reproductive age.However,surgical treatment is often necessary for symptomatic hysteromyoma cases.This study examines the impact of humanized nursing care on reducing negative emotions and postoperative complications in patients receiving hysteromyoma surgery.AIM To investigate the impact of humanized nursing care on patients undergoing hysteromyoma surgery.METHODS Among patients who underwent hysteromyoma surgery at the Fudan University Affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,200 were randomly assigned to either the control group(n=100)or the humanized nursing care group(n=100).The control group received traditional nursing care,while the humanized nursing care group received a comprehensive care plan encompassing psychological support,pain management,and tailored rehabilitation programs.In addition,anxiety and depression levels were assessed using the hospital anxiety and depression scale preoperatively and postoperatively.Postoperative complications were evaluated during follow-up assessments and compared between both groups.RESULTS The humanized nursing care group demonstrated a significant decrease in anxiety and depression levels compared to the control group(P<0.05).The rate of postoperative complications,including infection,bleeding,and deep venous thrombosis,was also markedly lower in the humanized nursing care group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Humanized nursing care can effectively alleviate negative emotions and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications in patients undergoing hysteromyoma surgery.This approach should be considered a crucial component of perioperative care for these patients.Further research may be needed to explore additional benefits and long-term outcomes of implementing humanized nursing care in this population.

Healthcare interprofessional team members' perspectives on human caring: A directed content analysis study

Objectives:As Watson's Human Caring Theory continues to evolve and guide the discipline of nursing,the challenge is to find ways to integrate it into practice.The purpose of this study is to describe interprofessional team members'perspectives on human caring based on the Ten Caritas Processes(R)/Caritas-Veritas Literacy of Watson's Human Caring Theory within the Unitary Caring Science.Methods:This is a qualitative directed content analysis study,taking place in a Children's Hospital in the United States between November 2017 and April 2018.Information redundancy was utilized to guide the recruitment.Data were collected via a one-time face-to-face individual interview.A qualitative directed content analysis was conducted using Watson's Ten Caritas Processes(R)/Caritas-Veritas Literacy as a coding framework.Results:Twenty-seven healthcare professionals participated in the study.Interprofessional human caring,based on the Ten Caritas Processes(R)/Caritas-Veritas Literacy,was referred to as performing lovingkindness to patients,each other,and self;maintaining faith-hope in teamwork;valuing intersubjective interactions and building trust among team members;cultivating heart-centered-caring relations;acknowledging and processing positive and negative feelings non-judgmentally;applying all ways of knowing in caring;encouraging reciprocal teaching-learning;developing caring-healing environments collaboratively;respecting human dignity of patients and each other;and being open-minded to the unknowns and believing in miracles.Conclusions:Watson's Human Caring Theory can be an underlying guide to enrich human-to-human relations and create a caring-healing environment.When human caring is applied in interprofessional teams,healthcare professionals find a caring consciousness to care for oneself and each other and promote patient care.

Methodology of Care Humanitude Implementation at an Integrated Continuing Care Unit: Benefits for the Individuals Receiving Care

The increasing number of elderly people with behavioral changes, agitation, aggressiveness, and refusal to receive care imposes new challenges to caregivers, who need to take ownership of innovative care methodologies to better take care of this group of people. Objective: To evaluate the benefits of the Humanitude Care Methodology (HCM) in order to improve the health condition of people admitted in a Portuguese Integrated Continuing Care Unit (UCCI). Methods: An action research study was conducted between September and December 2016. The sample consisted of 33 people who were admitted in this UCCI for at least 90 days. Monthly data collection, during four periods, using the Braden Scale, Morse Scale, Barthel Index and Mini Mental State Examination. The data was processed using the Statistical Package for Social Science, version 17.0. Results: The following decreases were observed: in individuals with cognitive deficit (93.94 percent to 81.82 percent);in individuals considered totally dependent (60.61 percent to 30.30 percent);at risk developing pressure ulcers (PU) (84.85 percent to 51.52 percent);in individuals who had PU (24.24 percent to 15.15 percent);in people with high risk of fall (45.45 percent to 39.39 percent);in the number of individuals with two antipsychotic prescriptions (27.27 percent to 9.09 percent). Conclusions: These results allowed to understand the positive benefits, of implementing the HCM, on the people receiving care, specifically at cognitive level, dependency level in activities of daily living, and the avoidance of physical and mental deterioration.

Outpatient Experience of Human Caring Scale （OEHC-Scale）： Improvement by Delphi Method

Based on the outpatient interview and literature review, the initial framework of the outpatient experience of human caring scale was formed with 9 dimensions of outpatient process. The research aim was to improve the scale by Delphi method. Sixteen experts in medical management, human caring or medical education were invited to evaluate the importance of the dimensions and items of the scale and provided some expertise via filling out the DeLphi consultation questionnaires twice in the consulting round. In the first round, the recovery rate showing the experts＇ positivity was 80%; the coefficient of reliability （Cr） ascertaining the authority of the evaluation was 0.92; the mean and full mark ratios responding the concentration of the evaluation were 2.88-4.94 and 6.25%-93.75% respectively; the coefficients of variation （CV） and the Kendall＇s W determining the concordance of the evaluation were 5.06%-52.15% and 0.21-0.24 respectively. In the second round, the recovery rate was 93.75%; the Cr was 0.93; the mean was 3.93-4.93; the full mark ratios were 26.67%-93.33%; the Kendall＇s W was 0.14- 0.31, the CV was 5.25%-23.61%. Via the two-round Delphi study, the scale that included 10 dimensions and 61 items has been improved. Ten dimensions are pre-hospital medical service, guidance, registration, waiting, diagnosis ＆ treatment, paying, inspection ＆ assay, medicine receiving, therapy/injection/transfusion and global evaluation. It was concluded that Chinese scholars have paid high attention to human caring and outpatient experience. The experts have given high agreements about the dimensions which were established with Chinese outpatient process. The dimensions are different from the similar researches about outpatient experience study. In the future, it is necessary to survey the outpatients to test the construct validity, internal consistency reliability and others of the scale to improve the scale.
