METHODS: A total of 86 patients with hepatocirrhosis hospitalized in The Sixth Hospital of Handan from June 2015 to June 2018 were selected and divided into 2 groups according to the nursing method. The control group, with a total of 42 patients, were given psychological nursing intervention. The observation group, with a total of 44 patients, were given acupoint massage and psychological nursing intervention. Changes in depression levels, hope levels, and coping style scores were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in depression, hope level and coping style before the intervention between the 2 groups(P > 0.05). In the observation group, the self-rating depression scale(SDS) score of depression before intervention was 55.16 ± 4.17; and the positive attitude score was 8.40 ± 2.02; the positive action score was 8.33 ± 3.05; and the intimate score was 8.13 ± 2.44. The negative response score was 30.14 ± 3.31, and the positive response score was 30.49 ± 3.26. Before the intervention, the SDS score in the control group was 56.81 ± 4.39, and the positive attitude score was 8.29 ± 1.98. The positive action score was 8.04 ± 2.57, and the intimate score was 8.06 ± 2.31. The total level of hope score was 24.07 ± 3.11. The negative coping score was 30.55 ± 3.06, and the positive coping score was 30.93 ± 3.17. After intervention the SDS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group(P < 0.05). The SDS score of the observation group was 36.19 ± 4.19, and the SDS score of the control group was 42.95 ± 3.71. The total level of hope in the observation group was higher than that in the control group after intervention(P < 0.05). The positive attitude score of the observation group was 16.10 ± 2.15, and the score of positive action was 14.74 ± 3.11; the score of intimate relationship was 15.08 ± 5.45; and the total score of hope was 45.71 ± 5.63. The positive attitude score of the control group was 10.92 ± 2.07; the score of positive action was 11.38 ± 3.14; the score of intimate relationship was 10.92 ± 2.33; and the total score of hope was 34.09 ± 5.77. The patients in the observation group had lower response scores after intervention than the control group, and the positive response scores were higher than those in the control group(P < 0.05). The negative response score of the observation group was 20.14 ± 2.19; the positive response score was 38.92 ± 4.33; the negative response score of the control group was 26.61 ± 2.34; and the positive response score was 34.08 ± 2.69. CONCLUSION: Acupoint massage combined with psychological nursing can effectively improve depression in hospitalized patients with hepatocirrhosis, improve the patient's hope level, help patients cope with lifestyle changes from negative to positive, which is worthy of clinical promotion.展开更多

However, Huntington's disease (HD) is an exception. OBJECTIVE: To qualitatively analyze factors motivating HD patients to participate in a study, namely the European Huntington's Disease Network (EHDN) REGISTRY. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: An observational survey was conducted in the EHDN Study Site in Poznan, Poland between 2007 and 2008. PARTICIPANTS: The study involved 22 persons affected with HD and 3 pre-symptomatic individuals totaling 9 males and 16 females. The 24 participants in this study had 24 different caregivers. A total of 25 symptomatic or pre-symptomatic subjects participated in the initial REGISTRY visit, as well as 6 in the second, and 1 in the third. All subjects did not know each other prior to the visit. METHODS: A mutation in the IT15 gene was confirmed in each patient or pre-symptomatic mutation carrier. An in-depth interview produced detailed information on the HD patients, as well as the caregivers, for the REGISTRY study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: A qualitative analysis of the factors motivating HD patients and the pre-symptomatic mutation carriers to participate in the REGISTRY longitudinal, observational, research project was performed. RESULTS: The primary motivating factor for involvement of HD patients and the caregivers in the REGISTRY study was the hope that an effective HD therapy would soon be discovered. In HD patients and the pre-symptomatic group, the response to participate in the REGISTRY project reached 100%, despite the fact that they knew the project was only an observational study. CONCLUSION: Patient hope is thought to be a factor for engaging in preventive, therapeutic activities. However, this is rarely mentioned in medical papers and clinical textbooks, and is usually overlooked in medical teaching. Clearly, efforts should be made to include this in clinical practice.展开更多
