Literary evidence of the impact of nonbiological risk factors on CRMS/CFSPID: A scoping review.

Newborn screening for cystic fibrosis (CF) occasionally results in an inconclusive diagnosis of this disease, and these individuals are designated as CFTR-related metabolic syndrome (CRMS) in the United States, and CF Screen Positive Inconclusive Diagnosis (CFSPID) in other countries. Some of these asymptomatic individuals will progress to symptomatic disease, but risk factors associated with disease progression are not well understood. This scoping review was conducted to comprehensively map nonbiological risk factors in the CRMS/CFSPID literature and to identify understudied topics. Six electronic databases were systematically searched, resulting in 2951 studies. Forty nine eligible works were identified as including information on nonbiological risk factors related to CRMS/CFPSID. Eligible studies were published from 2002 to 2024, most prevalently in the United States (36.7%), and as quantitative data (81.6%). Of the 49 eligible works, 23 articles contributed only intellectual conjecture, while 26 articles contained original data, which underwent full-text qualitative content analysis. Key themes identified in descending order of content coverage included Psychological Impact, Management Care, Newborn Screening and Diagnostics, Communicating Diagnosis, and Lifestyle and External Exposures. This scoping review identified that while nonbiological risk factors are being studied in the CRMS/CFSPID literature, there was nearly equal distribution of works gathering original data to those citing previously published information. These findings indicate a critical need for original data collection on these risk factors, particularly on understudied topics identified herein.

Treating Post-Stroke Aphasia: Psychological Wellness Approaches

One of the most difficult conditions to treat while dealing with post-stroke aphasia and depression is related. To help stroke survivors manage their depression symptoms, stroke medical professionals are essential. In light of stroke specialists' opinions about post-stroke aphasia, this study intends to investigate current methods of treating depression. In five semi-structured focus groups, thirty-nine stroke healthcare professionals from various phases of stroke therapy took part. A thorough transcript analysis of these focus group talks was conducted using the interpretive description approach. After the transcripts were analyzed, several themes emerged, including the difficulties associated with treating depression and aphasia at the same time in stroke rehabilitation, the undervaluing of mood disorders in clinical practice, the use of ad hoc methods for diagnosis and treatment, and the attempts of stroke doctors to fill in the gaps in psychological care. This study emphasizes how difficult it is for doctors to treat depression in patients who have had a stroke-related aphasia. For better patient care, evidence-based therapies are crucial, as is the inclusion of mental health services in stroke rehabilitation. Policies that promote mental health should be developed, leaders should take the lead in putting comprehensive treatment plans into practice, and healthcare professionals should get specialized training. These initiatives have a critical role in enhancing the results and standard of life for those coping with the co-occurring conditions of depression and aphasia after stroke.

Effects of Network-based Positive Psychological Nursing Model on Negative Emotions, Cancer-related Fatigue, and Quality of Life in Cervical Cancer Patients with Post-operative Chemotherapy.

Cervical cancer patients with post-operative chemotherapy experience anxiety, depression, and cancer-related fatigue, leading to a decline in their quality of life and posing challenges to the rehabilitation of patients. Therefore, it is necessary to explore effective nursing methods. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a web-based positive psychological nursing model on negative emotions, cancer-related fatigue, self-management efficacy, treatment compliance, and quality of life among cervical cancer patients with post-operative chemotherapy. This retrospective study included 101 cervical cancer patients who underwent surgical intervention at our hospital between January 2019 and December 2023. Patients who received the usual mode of care were included in the control group (n = 48), while those who received the web-based positive psychological care mode were included in the study group (n = 53). For all study subjects, various assessment indices were evaluated, including baseline characteristics, treatment adherence, and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Revised Piper Fatigue Scale (RPFS), the Chinese version of the Strategies Used by Patients to Promote Health (C-SUPPH), and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life questionnaire -Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30). Additionally, anxiety/depression, cancer-related fatigue, self-management efficacy, treatment compliance, and quality of life were compared between the two groups. After the intervention, the HAMA score, HAMD score, and RPFS score were significantly decreased for both groups compared to before intervention (p < 0.05). However, the C-SUPPH score was significantly increased than before intervention (p < 0.05). We observed that HAMA, HAMD, and RPFS scores were substantially lower in the study group than those in the control group after intervention (p < 0.05). In contrast, C-SUPPH scores were significantly higher (p < 0.05). After the intervention, treatment compliance was significantly better in the study group compared to the control group. Furthermore, the EORTC QLQ-C30 score was substantially higher than that of the control group (p < 0.05). The network-based positive psychological nursing model can effectively alleviate negative emotions and cancer-related fatigue in cervical cancer patients who have undergone post-operative chemotherapy, thereby improving their quality of life. Additionally, this model improves patients' self-management effectiveness and treatment compliance. These findings provide novel insights into the nursing of cervical cancer patients with post-operative chemotherapy, underscoring its clinical significance.

Disaster preparedness perceptions and psychological first-aid competencies of psychiatric nurses.

This study aimed to determine the disaster preparedness perceptions and psychological first-aid competencies of psychiatric nurses. Nurses must recognize the risks before a disaster occurs and have an action plan for providing effective physical and psychological care to patients and other affected individuals during and after the disaster. It is especially important for psychiatric nurses caring for a high-risk group, such as psychiatric patients, to be prepared for disasters and be able to support patients by recognizing the psychological reactions that may occur after a disaster and managing their care accordingly. For this cross-sectional and correlational study, data on 122 nurses were collected using a personal information form, the preparedness perception scale of disaster in nurses, and the psychological first-aid application self-efficacy scale. The mean score for the participants' perception of overall disaster preparedness was 76.70±8.30, the mean score for the preparation stage was 27.02±2.82, the mean score for the intervention stage was 30.40±5.15, the mean score for the post-disaster stage was 19.27±2.88, and the mean score for psychological first-aid application self-efficacy was 140.28±19.17. The findings showed that psychiatric nurses were above the medium level in terms of disaster preparedness perceptions and psychological first-aid application self-efficacy. It is important for nurses caring for high-risk groups, such as psychiatric patients, to be aware of disaster preparedness, to recognize psychological reactions that may be observed after a disaster, and to be aware of psychological first-aid practices that can be used to intervene in a disaster.

One Year of Experience in the Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgical Care of War Refugees and Soldiers from Ukraine in a Maximum Care Trauma Centre.

According to the United Nations, around 8,400 people have been injured and over 5,800 killed on the Ukrainian side in the Ukraine war, which has been going on for over 14 months. Extensive humanitarian aid operations were carried out to support Ukraine, so that war-wounded people from Ukraine were also cared for in Germany. In a retrospective cohort study, 10 patients were examined who were treated in the department between February 24th 2022 and February 24th 2023, using the cloverleaf system from Ukraine.The average duration of inpatient treatment was 53.10 days. The average ISS was 23.7. The patients were operated on an average of 3.3 times in our institution. All patients received consultative psychological care. All patients were initially put into protective isolation until the results of a corona test and microbiological swabs were available. After preliminary protective isolation, further isolation had to be carried out in 5 cases due to germs requiring isolation. Eight patients were released to state accommodation. Three patients were transferred back to Ukraine at their own request.The treatment of war-injured patients from Ukraine represents a particular challenge. It absolutely requires an interdisciplinary treatment concept that, in addition to special trauma surgery and orthopaedic expertise, also requires plastic-reconstructive, microbiological and, last but not least, psychological care. Due to the high rate of infections requiring isolation, long, costly therapy with multiple revision operations is often necessary.

Психологическая и фармакологическая помощь при послеродовой депрессии и послеродовом ПТСР в России: социоэкономические факторы

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aim.&lt;/strong&gt; This study examined socio-economic factors and their relationship to access to professional care (pharmaceutical and psychological), as well as the relationship between the presence/absence of psychological and pharmacological care and the severity of symptoms of postpartum depression (PD) and PTSD after childbirth. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and methods&lt;/strong&gt;. The study involved 2,574 women aged 18&amp;ndash;43 years (M=31,03, SD=4,29) who gave birth to one or more children during the 12 months preceding the survey. Depression was assessed using the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale [11] in Yakupova's adaptation [35]. Postpartum PTSD was assessed using the City Birth Trauma Scale [8] in Yakupova's adaptation [2]. In addition, socio-demographic data were collected (education level, income level, family status, place of residence), information about previously diagnosed and current mental health problems, and the types of assistance received. &lt;strong&gt;Results and conclusions.&lt;/strong&gt; The data obtained show that only a small percentage of women with severe symptoms of postpartum depression and postpartum PTSD seek psychological or pharmacological help (11% and 9.3%, respectively). Socio-economic factors such as higher education, higher economic status, residence in Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as the presence of a spouse are associated with a rarer manifestation of PD and PTSD after childbirth and more frequent seeking psychological and pharmacological help. In Russia, there is an urgent issue of informing about postpartum mood disorders, their diagnosis, as well as the issue of access to professional help.&lt;/p&gt;

Transforming care for pregnancy loss: A qualitative study on advancing practices and addressing existing needs

Recent years have seen significant growth in the body of knowledge and the development of guidelines on pregnancy loss. This qualitative study analyses how these advancements have been implemented with a focus on health literacy, hospital protocols, and societal responses. Thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews from bereaved parents (n = 11) and healthcare professionals (n = 7) in Italy uncovers significant lapses in health literacy and societal reluctance to address pregnancy loss, which obstructs informed parental decision-making. The research indicates a movement toward more sensitive healthcare, yet disparities remain in the treatment of early versus later losses and uneven psychological support provision. The research underscores the need for standardized practices and combined psychological care for both parents and for reform in legal policies regarding bereavement and maternity leave. Despite progress in institutional and societal approaches to managing pregnancy loss, considerable challenges persist.

Pregnancy as a challenge for a patient with schizophrenia

Introduction: Schizophrenia affects as many as 24 million people worldwide. Similar to the general population of women, it is estimated that every second woman with schizophrenia becomes a mother. The purpose of the article is to present the difficulties that pregnancy brings for women with schizophrenia in terms of physical and mental health and the course of the disease. Material and methods: The available literature in English and Polish languages was reviewed by searching the PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Articles published from 2009 to 2023 were selected using the following words: schizophrenia, pregnancy, hormones, treatment and outcomes. The analysis encompassed original studies, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, and review articles. Results: One of the most significant problems related to motherhood among patients with schizophrenia is the lack of access to knowledge about family planning, sexuality and parenting. Women with schizophrenia are more likely to engage in risky sexual contact, and usually their pregnancies are unplanned. The influence of schizophrenia on the course of pregnancy is still not clear. Studies show that changes in hormone levels during pregnancy, especially estrogen levels, play a protective role in the occurrence of schizophrenic episodes. Nonetheless, pregnant women with schizophrenia have higher risk of miscarriage, infant deaths, obesity, gestational diabetes, hypertension and other obstetric complications. Conclusions: Due to the fact that nowadays more women with schizophrenia may become mothers, it is crucial to provide patients with adequate knowledge about sexual and reproductive life and to ensure them professional, interdisciplinary medical and psychological care during pregnancy. Keywords: schizophrenia, pregnancy, hormones, treatment, outcomes

Telephone-Based Psychological Care During the 2020 Lockdown in Spain and Protocol for Data Collection.

During the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, the General Council of Psychology in Spain, together with the regional Official Colleges of Psychology, launched the Psychological Care Telephone Program (PCTP) to provide mental health services to the population. The aim of the present study was to perform a descriptive analysis of the PCTP by analysing the data collected during the lockdown and at the 12-month follow-up, and to develop a brief protocol designed to standardise data collection procedures. A total of 10,119 inbound telephone calls were made to the PCTP from March to May 2020, and 337 follow-up calls at 12 months. The most common reasons for contacting the PCTP were to consult for symptoms of anxiety (66.8%), depression (30.5%), and/or family problems (13.9%). At the 12-month follow-up, many users experienced anxiety (38%), depressive (35%), and panic (34%) symptoms. More than half of users reported using psychopharmacological medicines. This study demonstrates the need to offer the population telephone-based mental health consultations during times of crisis. It also shows the importance of systematising intervention and data collection procedures for future crises. We propose a data collection protocol for use with emergency telephone psychological assistance programmes.

Effect of group online-based peer support intervention on psychological distress of adolescent and young adult cancer patients: a randomized controlled trial.

Adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients, aged between 15 to 39years old, suffer from long-term psychological distress, confronting low self-efficacy and various psychological problems. This study constructs a group online-based peer support intervention combined with offline activities to explore its impact on the psychological distress of AYA cancer patients. A randomized, two-arm clinical trial was conducted in which 90 AYA cancer patients were recruited. The control group (N = 45) received conventional psychological care and treatment, and the experimental group (N = 45) received 8weeks of an online peer support intervention. Outcome measures included psychological distress (Distress Thermometer, DT), anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, HADS), perceived peer support (Cancer Peer Support Scales, CaPSS), and readiness for return to work (Readiness to Return-To-Work Scale, RRTW). Eight-week peer support intervention was effective in improving psychological distress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms in the experimental group with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). Time affected psychological distress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms in AYA cancer patients (P < 0.05), and there was an interaction with intervention factors (P < 0.05). The intervention has a positive effect on relieving the psychological status of AYA cancer patients. For readiness for return to work, the experimental group was in the preparation for the action-behavioral stage immediately, 1month and 3months after the end of the intervention (P < 0.01), supporting AYA cancer patients who have not returned to work to maintain optimal return-to-work readiness. The group online-based peer support intervention is popular and has good scientificity, effectiveness, and practical significance for AYA cancer patients. This study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov. (ChiCTR2100053091, registered on 10 November 2021).

Household cost of road traffic accident-related injuries: A case study of St. Joseph Hospital, Koforidua in Ghana

Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are a prominent contributor to both mortality and morbidity, particularly affecting individuals aged 5–29 years. Road traffic Injuries impose substantial physical and economic burden on individuals, households, and governments, particularly in African nations. Thus, our study focuses on assessing the economic cost of road traffic accidents within the context of St. Joseph Hospital, Koforidua.A cross-sectional survey was conducted at the Emergency Unit of the St. Joseph Hospital with a sample size of 291 patients. A patient perspective was used in costing the management of RTAs. Data was descriptively analyzed with Microsoft Excel with means and standard deviations estimated for direct, indirect, and intangible costs to the patient.Total direct and indirect cost of road traffic accidents were approximately GHS1,973,801.28 (US$164,483.44) and GHS520,309.46 (US$43,359.12) respectively which represents 79.1 % and 20.9 % of the total cost. The annual average economic cost for all cases was GHS8,570.83 (US$714.24). Intangible costs were also found to be high, with 54.2 % patients rating their RTA burden to be between mild to moderate, 10.8 % as moderate to severe and 1.4 % as severe.RTA cost burden is huge for all households. Uninsured patients bear significantly higher costs than insured patients. Intangible costs were also high, prompting the need to provide psychological care to RTA victims and their families. Concerted efforts should be directed at strict enforcement, training, improvement of road infrastructure and legislation to reduce or curb road traffic accidents in LMICs.

Objective Ischemia, Subjective Angina, and Psychological Distress in Angina With No Obstructive Coronary Disease.

Angina with no obstructive coronary disease (ANOCA) and ischemia with no obstructive coronary disease, prevalent yet underrecognized conditions, mostly affect women. Previous studies rarely distinguished between them. We aimed to compare the prevalence of objective ischemia through various examinations in women with ANOCA and assess the impact of objective and subjective ischemia on their mental health. A total of 84 eligible women with ANOCA and 42 controls underwent mental stress, pharmacological stress, exercise stress, and Holter testing. Objective evidence of myocardial ischemia was assessed by positron emission tomography-computed tomography and ECG, and subjective symptoms were graded using the Canadian Cardiovascular Society scale (CCS). Psychological assessments were conducted using 6 scales. Among 84 women with ANOCA, 37 (44%) received a diagnosis of ischemia with no obstructive coronary disease following mental stress testing, 20 (28.6%) through pharmacological stress testing, 14 (21.2%) via exercise stress testing, and 24 (32.9%) from Holter. Mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia was more prevalent (P<0.05). Among 54 patients with ANOCA who completed all tests, 30% showed no ischemia, and only 1 (1.9%) showed ischemia in all tests. In addition, patients with ANOCA had higher psychological scores than controls (P<0.01). No significant differences was observed in psychological scores between ANOCA with positive and negative ischemia test results (P>0.05). However, ANOCA with milder angina (CCS I) exhibited higher scores across the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Perceived Stress Scale, and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-Civilian Version and a higher prevalence of Type D personality traits (P<0.05). In patients with ANOCA, the positive rate of myocardial ischemia exhibits variability among several noninvasive tests. A worsened psychological state is more closely linked to milder angina symptoms than to ischemia performance, highlighting the importance of focusing on symptom management in their psychological care.

Social Comparison, Hope and Depression among Students of Madrasas and Schools

Present study examines social comparison, hope, and depression among madrasa and school students to see how these educational contexts affect mental health and well-being. Male and female students ages 11–17 were equally included in the sample. Participants were provided with the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS), Adult Hope Scale, and Social Comparison Scale. Although both educational environments had moderate feelings of depression, anxiety, and stress, madrasa students had more hope than school students. Despite their hopefulness, madrasa students had more despair and anxiety. Hope promotes mental health, as correlation research showed that higher hope levels were connected with reduced depression, anxiety, and stress. An independent samples t-test showed that madrasa students scored higher on depression and anxiety than school students. Madrasa students' higher rates of depression and anxiety require culturally sensitive mental health initiatives that include religious and moral teachings and provide necessary psychological care.

Validation and Adaptation of the Spanish Version of Cancer Survivors’ Unmet Needs survey (CaSUN-MX) for Use in the Mexican Adult Oncology Population

Introduction. Cancer survivorship in Mexico is a research topic that is still in its infancy. No specific studies have been found on the needs of this population, meaning that there are no validated scales in the Mexican population measuring the needs of cancer survivors. Objective. To validate and adapt the Cancer Survivors’ Unmet Needs survey, Spanish version (CaSUN-Mx) for use in the Mexican adult oncology population. Method. One hundred and eighty participants answered the questionnaire (CaSUN-S). For the analysis, the study was divided into three phases: content validity, construct validity, and internal consistency analysis. Results. The final version of the adapted questionnaire (CaSUN-Mx) has 34 items and one open question. It was divided into five factors with a total Cronbach’s Alpha of .95 and a value of over .85, in all the subscales (psychological care, comprehensive and collaborative care, practical and information needs, and those associated with effects. Discussion and conclusion. The CaSUN-Mx questionnaire has content validity because it has been adequately linguistically and culturally adapted, and construct validity because of its factorial structure, and reliability, making it suitable for use in the Mexican adult oncology population.

Addressing Psychosocial Care Needs in Women with Peripheral Artery Disease.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a growing global epidemic. Women with PAD are at elevated risk of experiencing psychosocial stressors that influence the diagnosis, management, and course of their illness due to unique sex- and gender-based factors. We review existing evidence for increased psychosocial risk in women with PAD with a focus on mood disorders, chronic stress, pain experiences, substance use disorders, health behaviors and illness perceptions, and healthcare access. We discuss how these factors exacerbate PAD symptomatology and lead to adverse outcomes. Existing gaps in women's vascular care are reviewed and potential solutions to bridge these gaps through psychosocial care integration are proposed. Current care paradigms for women's vascular care do not adequately screen for and address psychosocial comorbidities. Clinician education, integration of evidence-based psychological care strategies, implementation of workflows for the management of individuals with PAD and mental health comorbidities, reform to reimbursement structures, and further advocacy are needed in this space. This review provides a construct for integrated behavioral health care for women with PAD and advocates for further integration of care.

Role of social media in the presentation of disorders of gut-brain interaction: Review and recommendations.

As clinicians involved in the care of patients with disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBIs), we-and many colleagues-have the impression that social media are adversely shaping the nature, presentation, and ability to manage these disorders, especially at the severe end of the DGBI clinical spectrum. We turned to the research literature to see if these clinical impressions were corroborated but found it virtually nonexistent. Social media have rapidly become a ubiquitous, pervasive part of the lives of most people on the planet. Although they bring many benefits, they are also replete with health misinformation, reinforcement of abnormal sick-role behavior, and undermining of the legitimacy of psychological care. We first set out four reasons for concern about social media and DGBIs, particularly severe DGBIs. These reasons stem from phenomena described in medical fields outside DGBIs, but there is no reason to think DGBIs should be exempt from such phenomena. We then present the results of a literature search, which yielded only eight disparate recent empirical studies. We review these studies, which, although not uninformative, reveal a field in its infancy. We set out implications, most urgently multidisciplinary research directly addressing the role of social media and evaluation of interventions to mitigate its ill effects. Gastroenterological clinicians involved in DGBI care and research need to collaborate with experts in social media research, which is a very rapidly evolving, specialized field. Although knowledge is at an early stage, there are implications for specialist practice, education and training, and DGBI service delivery.

Neglect of Psychological Care for Children with Cerebral Palsy and Their Families and Its Impact on Their Occupational Engagement in Saudi Arabia.

Background and Objectives: Many children with (CP) and their families in Saudi Arabia struggle emotionally. Unfortunately, there have not been many studies conducted on how to help them with these challenges. This research aims to bring attention to this gap and to explore how a lack of proper mental health care might affect these children's ability to participate in everyday activities. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive study, a survey was conducted between August and October 2023. A total of 300 parents of CP children from Saudi Arabia participated in the study. The impact of psychological care negligence on the occupational engagement of CP children and their families was assessed by designing a valid questionnaire. Results: A total of 300 parents of children with CP participated in this study. The majority of the sample, 71% of parents, said that their children did not receive any psychological care, and 59.7% of the participants said that their children did not even receive a referral to a psychologist. However, 60.3% of parents of children noticed a significant decline in the occupational performance of their children, and 65.7% predicted an improvement in their children's performance with future psychological care. Conclusions: It is clear that there is a lack of awareness about the importance of mental health care for children with CP in Saudi Arabia. This lack of care hinders these children and their families' occupational engagement and social participation.

The Application of Psychological Nursing in Pediatric Clinical Nursing

Objective: To study the application effect of psychological nursing in pediatric clinical nursing. Method: 100 pediatric patients who underwent treatment in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2020 were selected as the research subjects. They were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 50 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing care, while the observation group received psychological care based on routine nursing care. The nursing compliance, incidence of adverse events, and parental satisfaction of the two groups of pediatric patients were compared and analyzed. Result: Through psychological nursing intervention, it was found that the observation group had better nursing compliance, incidence of adverse events, and parental satisfaction than the control group, P &lt; 0.05, the differences are statistically significant. Conclusion: The application of psychological nursing in pediatric clinical nursing can improve the compliance of pediatric care, reduce the incidence of adverse events, enhance parental satisfaction, and have clinical promotion and application value.

Effect of the postoperative pain management model on the psychological status and quality of life of patients in the advanced intensive care unit

Objectiveit was to explore the influence of the postoperative pain management mode on the psychological state, quality of life (QOL), and nursing satisfaction of late patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and improve the nursing effect of late patients in the ICU.Methodsseventy patients who were admitted to the postoperative ICU for gastric cancer and received treatment in our hospital from March 2021 to May 2022 were selected. The patients were assigned into a research group and a control (Ctrl) group according to a random number table, with 70 cases in each group. The Ctrl group received routine nursing intervention, while research group received nursing intervention based on routine nursing intervention with postoperative pain management mode and received psychological care. Good communication was established with the patients, and the postoperative pain assessment was well conducted. The general information, state-trait anxiety (STAI) score, World Health Organization’s Quality of Life Instrument (WHO QOL-BREF) score, and care satisfaction were compared.Resultsthe general information differed slightly, such as sex, age, and ward type, between groups, with comparability (P > 0.05). S-AI scores (13.15 ± 1.53 vs. 16.23 ± 1.24) and T-AI scores (14.73 ± 3.12 vs. 18.73 ± 3.16) in research group were inferior to those in Ctrl group (P < 0.05). The scores of patients in research group in the physiological field (78.9 ± 6.1 points vs. 72.3 ± 5.6 points), social relationship field (76.9 ± 4.5 points vs. 71.3 ± 4.8 points), psychological field (78.6 ± 6.2 points vs. 72.4 ± 5.3 points), environmental field (78.6 ± 6.7 points vs. 73.5 ± 6.4 points), and total QOL (79.5 ± 7.4 points vs. 71.6 ± 5.4 points) were higher than those in Ctrl group (P < 0.05). The total satisfaction rate with nursing care in research group (82.85%) was dramatically superior to that in Ctrl group (62.85%) (P < 0.05).Conclusionthe adoption of a postoperative pain management model in postoperative nursing interventions for patients in advanced ICUs can alleviate anxiety and depression, improve patients’ QOL and nursing satisfaction, and have clinical promotion value.
