TL;DR: Sample diet education is more beneficial for patients to grasp the principle and methods of diet than conventional theoretical education.
Abstract: Objectives To observe the effect of sample diet education on diet control of patient with diabetes.Methods 160 patients with Type 2 diabetes were divided into observation group and control group,with each having 80.Patients in control group were given health education about theoretical knowledge of diabetes disease,while those in observation group were given sample diet education in addition to health education.Diet components(intake of energy and three nutrition)and 7 blood biochemical indexes were compared between before education and 5 months after education.Results The diet components and meals allocation of observation group were more reasonable than those in control group.And fasting blood glucose,blood glucose 2 h after meal,glycosylated hemoglobin,glyceride,cholesterol-total,HDL-C,and LDL-C were also better in observation group(P<0.05).Conclusion Sample diet education is more beneficial for patients to grasp the principle and methods of diet than conventional theoretical education.
TL;DR: Early-stage feeding conforms to physiological need and it is safe and feasible, and there were no significant difference in nutritional parameter and mortality between the two groups.
Abstract: Objective To investigate the effects of early-stage feeding on recovery of patients after liver transplantation.Methods 52 patients after orthotopic liver transplantation from January to September 2005 were divided into early-stage feeding group and conventional feeding group randomly,with each group having 26 patients.The incidence of infection,mortality,the liver functions,recovery time of gastrointestinal function,the time length of ICU,nutritional expenses and sleeping quality of patients in two groups were compared.Results The incidence of infection and nutritional expenses in the patients of early-stage feeding group were significantly lower than those in control group;the liver functions and sleeping quality were better then those in control group;recovery time of gastrointestinal function and the time length of ICU were significantly shorter.All these showed significant differences between two groups(P0.05 or P0.01).There were no significant difference in nutritional parameter and mortality between the two groups(P0.05).Conclusion Early-stage feeding conforms to physiological need and it is safe and feasible.
TL;DR: The continual nursing intervention is able to lower the rate of smoking-quitting after discharge, and it is found that patients with respiratory diseases who quitted smoking at hospitalization receive continually nursing intervention.
Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of post-discharge nursing intervention on smoking-quitting rate of patients.Methods One hundred and sixty-four patients with respiratory diseases who quitted smoking at hospitalization were equally randomized into two groups at discharge: nursing intervention group and non-nursing intervention group,the former receiving continually nursing intervention in mentality,daily life,diet and sports activities and the latter receiving no intervention.The smoking-quitting rates were compared between the groups for 1 year of follow-up.Results After one year,of the 82 cases in the nursing intervention group,63 cases quitted smoking and another 3 lost contact,with a rate of 80%,while in the other group,only 29 did quit smoking and another 5 lost contact,with a rate of 38%.Statistically the difference was significant(χ2=26.83,P0.001).Conclusion The continual nursing intervention is able to lower the rate of smoking-quitting after discharge.
TL;DR: In this paper, the effective methods of daily monitoring of air in the clean laminar flow operation room were explored by using multiple-spot sampling and normal sampling, with the samples tested.
Abstract: Objective To explore the effective methods of daily monitoring of air in the clean laminar flow operation room. Methods In accordance to Subsidence Colony-testing Methods of Medical Clean Room/Area GB/T16294-1996 and Hygienic Criterion for Medicine Antisepsis GB/T15982-1995, we chose three rooms at different class under the same temperature and humidity and designated nurses to statically handle sampling of subsidence colony at different heights for 30 min within 8 consecutive days by using multiple-spot sampling and normal sampling, with the samples tested. Results The samples obtained by multiple-spot sampling and normal sampling did not exceed the standard in bacterial colony count, no pathogenic bacteria found in them. The testing results showed significant differences between the multiple-spot sampling group and the normal sampling group by t-test (P0.01) and the effect of the form was better than that of the latter. The samples at the heights of 0.8 m and 1.2 m by the multiple-spot sampling were testing, finding no bacteria, but the samples taken on the grounds and at the height of 0.8 m showed significant difference by χ2 test (P0.05). The effect of sampling at the height of 0.8 m was better than that at the height of 1.2 m in the normal group. Conclusion The height of 0.8~1.2 m is satisfactory at sampling using multiple-spot sampling. The sampling from the grounds for subsidence colony count is an effective method for daily test and monitoring of air in the clean laminar flow operation room.
