Psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Parent Perception of Uncertainty Scale(PPUS)among parents of children with cancer diagnosis

Objective:Parents of children diagnosed with cancer often experience high levels of illness uncertainty.This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Chinese Version of the Parent Perception of Uncertainty Scale for Childhood Cancer(PPUS-CC)in China's Mainland.Methods:Exploratory factor analysis(EFA)and confirmatory factor analysis(CFA)were performed using study population of 420 parents.The participants were also given the social support questionnaire and assessed using the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale,Zarit Burden Interview,and Self-Rating Depression Scale to test the association with PPUS-CC and obtain the cut-off of the scale.Results:The Chinese version of PPUS-CC includes 14 items,and two factors were extracted by EFA,which could explain the 54.56%variances.The Cronbach'sαof two factors ranged from 0.830 to 0.877.The dimensions of PPUS-CC show statistical association with other scales,and the cut-off is 42.5.Conclusion:The Chinese version of PPUS-CC,as a reliable,valid,and easy-to-use clinical tool,can be adapted in clinical settings as a screening tool to recognize parents with high-risk psychological problems.

程序化护理干预介入溶栓治疗下肢深静脉血栓效果

目的 探讨程序化护理对下肢深静脉血栓介入溶栓治疗中的干预效果,为提升临床疗效提供参考。方法 选取2019年1月—2020年12月天津市南开医院诊治的下肢深静脉血栓介入溶栓治疗的患者70例,随机分为观察组和对照组各35例。对照组患者使用常规护理,观察组在对照组基础上使用程序化护理干预。比较两组患者的康复效果、并发症发生率、干预前后生活质量评分及疾病不确定度评分。结果 观察组患者的小腿周长差、大腿周长差、住院时间短于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。观察组并发症发生率为2.86%,低于对照组的17.14%,差异有统计学意义(χ^(2)=3.968,P<0.05)。干预前,两组的生活质量评分及疾病不确定度评分比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);干预后,观察组生活质量评分高于对照组,疾病不确定度评分低于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论 程序化护理可降低下肢深静脉血栓介入溶栓治疗患者的并发症发生率,提高康复效果,值得临床推广与应用。
