UNASSIGNED: To investigate the current situation and need for post-competence training for psychiatric nurses in China and provide a reference for the development of training programs for psychiatric nurses.
UNASSIGNED: A cross-sectional design.
UNASSIGNED: A cross-sectional study was conducted from August to October 2023 with 435 psychiatric nurses from 34 hospitals in 24 provinces of mainland China. A self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. Descriptive statistics, non-parametric tests, and chi-square tests were used for data analysis.
UNASSIGNED: The training content for psychiatric nurses is extensive, and the training load is large. Psychiatric nurses have high training demands for first aid knowledge, emergency handling ability, and anti-riot skills. Nurses with different years of experience have different training needs. The training needs of psychiatric nurses in specialized and general hospitals also different.
UNASSIGNED: The training status of psychiatric nurses is not consistent with the demand. Managers should combine this with psychiatric nurses\' own work needs to develop practical and effective training programs.

UNASSIGNED: There are many problems of psychological burden in patients with tumor implanted in port of intravenous infusion. However, more attention is paid to its complications in the literature, and psychological problems are seldom concerned. The purpose of this study was to explore the psychological state and needs of tumor patients after implantation of an intravenous infusion port and provide valuable references for psychological interventions.
UNASSIGNED: A semi-structured interview was conducted with 11 patients with intravenous infusion ports. Colaizzi\'s 7-step analysis was used to analyze the interview data.
UNASSIGNED: According to the primary information, four themes and nine sub-themes were extracted: (1) lack of self-worth, (2) multiple emotional experiences (guilt, doubt, worry, and gain). (3) Poor self-management and self-maintenance awareness (over-reliance on medical staff, unchanged family roles, lack of related knowledge). (4) Expectations and suggestions for the future (inner expectations, suggestions for infusion ports).
UNASSIGNED: The patient\'s psychological state should be carefully monitored during tube implantation, to relieve the patient\'s tension and anxiety and improve nursing satisfaction and patient outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: Although there is a growing emphasis on supportive care for cancer patients, those with colorectal cancer (CRC) who have ostomies require special attention in terms of their physical, psychological, spiritual, and social needs. However, there has been a lack of significant progress in meeting the supportive care needs of CRC survivors with ostomies. To bridge this gap, we conducted a prospective longitudinal study to track the trends in supportive care needs among CRC survivors with ostomies and identify any predictors over 6-month period.
METHODS: A prospective longitudinal study was conducted at the wound and stoma clinic of Dalian University Affiliated Xinhua Hospital, focusing on CRC survivors with ostomies. A total of 143 participants completed self-report questionnaires on the 34-item Short-Form Supportive Care Needs Survey (SCNS-SF34-C (Mandarin)) and stoma complications at the first, third, and sixth month after surgery. ANOVA with repeated measure was utilized to assess the course of supportive care needs, with Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) applied to identify predictors of SCNS.
RESULTS: The supportive care needs and five dimensions scores were statistically significant at three time points (P < 0.05). The ratings of patients at the first, third, and sixth month after surgery revealed a decreasing trend in the scores for patient care and support, psychological needs, physical and daily living needs, and health system and information needs. However, the score for sexual needs showed an increased tendency. Higher levels supportive care needs were generally connected with a short duration after ostomy, high income level, resident medical insurance, spouse caregiver, other chronic disease, and stoma complications.
CONCLUSIONS: Survivors\' supportive care needs showed a dynamic trend over 6 months after surgery. Through three rounds, the primary needs were health system and information needs. It is recommended to integrate interdisciplinary health professionals and establish a comprehensive support and care system to effectively meet the diverse needs at different stages. Priority should be given to individuals with ostomies during the first and third month after surgery, particularly those with higher income levels, employee medical insurance, spouse caregivers, other chronic diseases, and stoma complications.

Cervical cancer patients commonly experience psychological supportive care needs, necessitating diverse interventions to enhance psychological well-being and alleviate physical symptoms. This systematic review, covering English-published articles from January 1999 to April 2023, assessed the impact of psychological supportive care interventions on anxiety and depression. Twenty-Six studies, including 11,638 patients, were analyzed, comprising randomized controlled trials; quasi-experimental, and pre-post-test designs from PubMed; Science Direct; Wiley online library; Google Scholar; Cochrane Library; and JSTOR. The extraction of data was done by two independent authors and a third independent author checked the data extraction. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), 2020 statement was adopted. The population, intervention, comparator, and outcomes (PICO) search strategy was applied. Effective Public Health Practice Project (EPHPP) tool was used to assess the quality of selected articles. Various interventions, such as psychological nursing, exercise, counselling, psycho-curative approaches, peer and family education, psychotherapy, and medication, were identified. Two studies incorporated homework sessions, predominantly administered by nursing staff. Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) were commonly used instruments. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference in anxiety and depression scores between treatment and control groups (p < 0.005) post-intervention across all studies. A subsequent meta-analysis of eight homogeneous studies, utilizing a random-effects model, showed a moderate-to-high overall effect size (1.35, 95% CI: 0.75 to 1.94), indicating a statistically significant positive impact. Various studies exhibited variability in effect sizes ranging from low to high. While the meta-analysis included 936 participants, the forest plot visually represents individual study effect sizes and the combined effect size. Preliminary evidence supports the positive impact of psychological supportive care interventions on cervical cancer outcomes, urging further research, especially exploring long-term effects and employing rigorous study designs.

BACKGROUND: Older adults living in nursing home organizations are eager to get voluntary help, however, their past experiences with voluntary services are not satisfactory enough. To better carry out voluntary services and improve the effectiveness of services, it is necessary to have a deeper understanding of the experiences and needs of older adults for voluntary services.
METHODS: The purposive sampling method was used to select 14 older adults from two nursing home organizations in Hangzhou and conduct semi-structured interviews, Collaizzi\'s seven-step method was used to analyze the data.
RESULTS: Older adults in nursing home organizations have both beneficial experiences and unpleasant service experiences in the process of receiving voluntary services; Beneficial experiences include solving problems meeting needs and feeling warmth and care, while unpleasant service experiences include the formality that makes it difficult to benefit truly, lack of organization, regularity, sustainability, and the mismatch between service provision and actual demands. The needs for voluntary services mainly focuses on emotional comfort, Cultural and recreational, and knowledge acquisition.
CONCLUSIONS: Older adults in nursing home organizations have varied voluntary experiences, and their voluntary service needs are diversified. Voluntary service needs of older adults should be accurately assessed, and voluntary service activities should be focused upon.

BACKGROUND: Self-management plays an important role in the disease management of glaucoma patients. The effectiveness of the program can be improved by assessing the patient\'s perspective and needs to tailor self-management support. Most studies have focused on assessing one of these self-management behaviours, such as medication adherence, and there is a lack of systematic assessment of the support needs and challenges of self-management for patients with glaucoma. Therefore, in this study, we conducted an in-depth investigation into the self-management challenges and support needs of patients with primary glaucoma, providing a basis for nursing staff to implement self-management support.
METHODS: The phenomenological method and semistructured interviews were used in this study. A total of 20 patients with primary glaucoma were recruited between June and December 2022. Colaizzi\'s analysis method was used to analyse the interview data.
RESULTS: Challenges for patients include becoming an expert in glaucoma, managing negative emotions, adapting to daily life changes and resuming social activities. To address these challenges, four themes of patient self-management support needs were identified: (1) health information support, (2) social support, (3) psychological support, and (4) daily living support.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with primary glaucoma experience varying degrees of challenge in dealing with medical, emotional, and social aspects. Comprehending the support needs of patients, healthcare professionals should deliver targeted, personalized and comprehensive self-management interventions to enhance their capacity of patients to perform self-management and improve their quality of life.

In the context of global aging, the characteristics of chronic diseases seriously affect the quality of life of older adults. It is urgent to carry out continuous nursing basis for older adult patients with chronic diseases. In view of the remarkable efficacy of Chinese medicine in the treatment of chronic diseases, this study may help to understand the demand for \"Internet + Chinese medicine\" home care service and its influencing factors of older adult chronic disease patients, and to provide a reference basis for improving the quality of life of the older adult chronic disease population.
This is a mixed study. The quantitative study adopted the convenience sampling method, and a total of 308 patients in a third-grade hospital in Shaanxi Province were investigated by general data questionnaire, traditional Chinese medicine service demand questionnaire, traditional Chinese medicine knowledge questionnaire, older adult Chinese medicine attitude questionnaire, and home care demand questionnaire from March to April 2022. In the qualitative study, semi-structured interviews were adopted, and patients were interviewed until the content was saturated. Colaizzi analysis method was used to analyze and summarize the topic of the interview data.
308 valid questionnaires were collected, and the patients scored (58.42 ± 17.16) on the demand for TCM nursing services, (59.86 ± 11.54) on the knowledge of TCM, (73.03 ± 9.11) on the attitude toward TCM, and (136.84 ± 46.39) on the demand for home care. The results of multiple linear regression showed that learning about the nursing service pathway, knowledge of general knowledge of Chinese medicine, and attitude toward Chinese medicine among the older adult and home care demand were the influencing factors of the demand for Chinese medicine nursing services for older adult patients with chronic diseases (p < 0.05). The results of the in-depth interviews were summarized into three themes: facilitating factor, hindering factor, and the \"Internet + Chinese medicine\" multiple needs of home care.
Older adult patients with chronic diseases have a high intention of home care demand and they are affected by multiple factors. Consequently, the actual demand situation of older adult patients with chronic diseases should be used as a guide to provide directed and diversified Chinese medicine home care services to meet the individualized needs of the older adult.

China\'s antidrug measures have been slowly shifting from police-intervention and punitive approaches to supportive services. However, the system is still highly stigmatizing. Helpline services emerged to engage drug users, families, and friends and provide needed support as they seek rehabilitation. This study aimed to explore service needs expressed during helpline calls, operators\' use of techniques when responding to different needs, and operators\' experiences working at and views toward the helpline.
We conducted a qualitative mixed-method study using two sources of data. One source was 47 call recordings collected at a drug helpline in China, and the other was five individual and two focus group interviews conducted with 18 helpline operators. Using a six-step thematic analysis method, we explored the patterns of needs expression and response, and the operators\' experiences of interacting with callers.
We found that typical callers were drug users and their relatives or friends. Interactions between the callers and operators involved the expression of and response to needs that emerged from involvement with drugs. Informational and emotional needs were the most common. Operators would respond to these needs with different counseling techniques, such as providing information, advising, normalizing, focusing, and instilling hope. The operators developed a system of practices, such as internal supervision, case summaries, and listening back, to enhance competence and ensure quality of services. The helpline work also prompted their critical reflections on the current antidrug system and gradually reshaped their views toward the population they serve.
Antidrug workers who engaged in answering helpline calls employed varying techniques to facilitate callers\' expressed needs. They helped by providing much-needed informational and emotional support for drug users, families, and friends. Helpline services opened a private channel for people involved in drug use to express their needs and seek formal help in China\'s still stigmatizing and punitive antidrug system. Experiences working with anonymous help-seekers outside the statutory rehabilitation system helped workers at the helpline to gain unique reflective insight into the antidrug system and drug users.
