While federal and state institutions have focused on the desert tortoise in its native habitat of the southwestern United States, there are other conservation groups whose work has been dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, rescue, placement and adoption of the desert tortoise in civilian homes and neighborhoods as well as sanctuaries, reserves and exhibits. AWAKE Community (AWAKE), a nonprofit organization dedicated to natural wildlife habitats and endangered species, has focused its research on desert tortoises in captivity. The California Turtle and Tortoise Club (CTTC), the official adoption arm of California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), has provided instruction on methods of care for desert tortoises raised in captivity including housing, feeding, sexing, health and hibernation for both adults and hatchlings. AWAKE’s research has been aimed at benefiting and supplementing the guidelines provided by CTTC, specifically for coastal climates. AWAKE’s research has also aimed to provide insight to be considered for expanding adoption possibilities to other locations, specifically tropical climates, as adoption needs for desert tortoises have increased. This manuscript presents an analysis of one coastal and one tropical climate that can serve as a basis for: 1) understanding and evaluating climate in both existing and potential habitats for desert tortoise adoptions, rescues and exhibits, 2) providing insight and special instruction for desert tortoise adoptions in coastal communities, and 3) expanding awareness around desert tortoise needs in captivity.展开更多

Some programs have rigorous policy based programs in which potential adopters are screened in or out based on their responses to a series of qualifying questions. Some other organizations use a conversation based approach with-out policies around such things as income, vaccination status of animals in the home and landlord approval. Those organizations that use the policy-based approach do so with the premise that the animal will be loved and cared for better by those that meet their criteria. Policy based adoptions can be arduous and can decrease adoptions, as, for example, those living in apartments that are unable to prove their landlord accepts pets are turned away. We hypothesized that meeting or not meeting policy based criteria would have no impact on the care or bond of the adopter with the pet. This study examined the quality of care and attachment in two groups of adopters, a group that adopted while policy based adoptions were in place and a group that adopted when policies were eliminated. There were no substantial differences between the two groups. This important finding indicates that those that adopt through conversation based adoptions (policy-free) provide similar high quality care and are just as likely to be highly bonded to their pet as those that adopt through policy based adoptions.展开更多

目的:探究ADOPT问题解决模式护理对大面积烧伤患者伤残接受度、创面愈合及美观满意度的影响。方法:前瞻性选择2020年1月-2022年12月笔者医院收治的患者460例大面积烧伤患者为研究对象,将2020年1月-2021年3月收治的患者纳入对照组,2021年...目的:探究ADOPT问题解决模式护理对大面积烧伤患者伤残接受度、创面愈合及美观满意度的影响。方法:前瞻性选择2020年1月-2022年12月笔者医院收治的患者460例大面积烧伤患者为研究对象,将2020年1月-2021年3月收治的患者纳入对照组,2021年4月-2022年12月收治的纳入观察组,对照组采用大面积烧伤后常规护理,观察组采用ADOPT问题解决模式护理,持续护理3个月。分别于干预前和干预3个月后,采用伤残接受度量表(Acceptance of disability scale,AODS)评估患者伤残接受度,采用视觉模拟评分(Visual analogue scale,VAS)评估患者创面疼痛程度,采用简明烧伤健康量表(Burn specific health scale,BSHS-A)评估患者生活质量;干预4周后,计算创面愈合率;干预3个月后,采用(Vancouver scar scale,VSS)评估患者创面愈合后瘢痕增生情况,采用美观满意度评分表评估患者美观满意度;记录创面愈合时间。结果:干预后,观察组患者AODS评分、创面覆盖率、美观满意度、BSHS-A评分均明显高于对照组,创面愈合时间明显短于对照组,VAS评分和VSS评分明显低于对照组(P<0.05)。结论:ADOPT问题解决模式能够提高大面积烧伤患者伤残接受度和美观满意度,有利于创面愈合,患者生活质量也得以显著提高。展开更多
目的分析ADOPT[态度(attitude,A)、定义(definition,D)、开放思维(open mind,O)、计划(planning,P)、实施(try it out,T)]模式在妊娠期糖尿病产妇中的应用效果。方法以南通大学附属妇幼保健院于2022年1月至2023年2月收治的120例妊娠期...目的分析ADOPT[态度(attitude,A)、定义(definition,D)、开放思维(open mind,O)、计划(planning,P)、实施(try it out,T)]模式在妊娠期糖尿病产妇中的应用效果。方法以南通大学附属妇幼保健院于2022年1月至2023年2月收治的120例妊娠期糖尿病产妇为研究对象,根据入院顺序将其分为对照组与观察组,每组60例,其中对照组产妇年龄24~35岁[(28.35±5.06)岁],观察组产妇年龄23~36岁[(28.29±5.33)岁],对照组实行常规护理,观察组实行ADOPT模式。比较2组产妇干预前与干预7 d时的心理弹性量表评分、糖尿病自我效能量表评分以及血糖水平,并对比2组产妇不良妊娠结局发生率。结果干预前,2组产妇的心理弹性量表评分、糖尿病自我效能量表评分及血糖水平差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),干预7 d时,观察组产妇心理弹性量表评分、糖尿病自我效能量表评分均高于对照组,且观察组产妇的空腹血糖、餐后2 h血糖水平均低于对照组(P<0.05)。干预后,观察组产妇(6.67%)、新生儿(5.00%)的不良妊娠结局发生率均低于对照组产妇(20.00%)、新生儿(16.67%),差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论ADOPT模式能够改善妊娠期糖尿病产妇的心理弹性,强化自我效能,有效控制其血糖水平,同时降低不良妊娠结局发生率。展开更多
