Project description:ObjectiveDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, nurses, especially if females and working in intensive care units or emergencies unit, were much more at risk than other health-workers categories to develop malaise and acute stress symptoms. This study aimed to examine the nurses' post-traumatic growth and associated influencing factors during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsA cross-sectional study using an online survey was conducted at Henan Provincial People's Hospital to gather data from nurses. A set of questionnaires was used to measure the participants' professional identity, organizational support, psychological resilience and post-traumatic growth. Univariate, correlation, and multiple linear regression analyses were used to determine significant factors influencing post-traumatic growth. A theoretical framework based on the Bayesian network was constructed to understand post-traumatic growth and its associated factors comprehensively.ResultsIn total, 1,512 nurses participated in the study, and a moderate-to-high level of post-traumatic growth was reported. After screening, the identified variables, including psychological counseling, average daily working hours, average daily sleep duration, professional identity, organizational support, and psychological resilience, were selected to build a Bayesian network model. The results of Bayesian network showed that professional identity and psychological resilience positively affected post-traumatic growth directly, which was particularly pronounced in low- and high-scoring groups. While organizational support positively affected post-traumatic growth indirectly.ConclusionAlthough this study identified a moderate-to-high level of nurses' post-traumatic growth, proactive measures to improve psychological resilience fostered by professional identity and organizational support should be prioritized by hospitals and nursing managers.

Project description:The purpose of this study is to investigate the current state of post-traumatic growth (PTG) and identify its influencing factors in discharged COVID-19 patients. PTG refers to individual experiences of significant positive change arising from the struggle with a major life crisis. This descriptive cross-sectional study used the convenient sampling method to recruit 140 discharged COVID-19 patients in Hunan, China. The results show that the PTG of the discharged COVID-19 patients was positively correlated with self-esteem, post-traumatic stress disorder, coping style tendency, and social support, but negatively correlated with the time from onset to diagnosis. Our findings could provide guidance on improving the psychological state and well-being of discharged COVID-19 patients.

Project description:ObjectiveTo explore independent influencing factors for clinical efficacy of roxadustat in hemodialysis patients.MethodsHemodialysis patients treated with roxadustat were enrolled. The plasma trough concentrations of roxadustat were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). A multiple logistic regression model was established to determine the factors that affect clinical efficacy of roxadustat in patients undergoing hemodialysis.ResultsA total of 67 hemodialysis patients were enrolled in the study. The results showed that age, blood trough concentration of roxadustat, and baseline hemoglobin (Hb) level were independent factors of clinical efficacy of roxadustat (OR = 1.06, p = .025 for age; OR = 1.001, p = .037 for plasma concentration; and OR = 0.941, p = .003 for baseline Hb), with an AUC score of 0.859.ConclusionsAge, blood trough concentration of roxadustat, and baseline Hb level were independent influencing factors of the response to roxadustat in hemodialysis patients.

Project description:Aims/introductionParathyroidectomy is associated with improved survival in patients with end-stage kidney disease. Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is common in patients with kidney failure and predicts poor outcomes. Recent clinical trials have linked hyperparathyroidism to PEW. The present retrospective cohort study examined whether parathyroidectomy was associated with improvement in nutritional status in maintenance hemodialysis patients.Materials and methodsOne hundred twenty-nine maintenance hemodialysis patients who had successful parathyroidectomy during 2012-2018 were identified (PTX group) and matched 1:1 to 479 patients with parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels ≤1,000 pg./mL (non-PTX control group) and 187 patients with PTH levels >1,000 pg./mL (pre-PTX control group) by propensity score. The matchings yielded 120 matched pairs from PTX and non-PTX groups (cohort 1) and 76 matched pairs from PTX and pre-PTX groups (cohort 2). Baseline and follow-up nutritional parameters associated with PEW were compared over the 12-month study period.ResultsIn cohort 1, substantially lower serum albumin and serum creatinine/body surface area (Cr/BSA) and higher proportions of patients with serum albumin ≤38 g/L (low albumin) and serum Cr/BSA ≤380 μmol/L/m2 (low Cr/BSA) were observed in the PTX group. These parameters improved significantly after parathyroidectomy. Total lymphocyte count (TLC) was comparable at baseline but the percentage of patients with TLC <800 cells/mm3 (low TLC) decreased substantially after parathyroidectomy. At follow-up, serum albumin, serum Cr/BSA and proportions of patients with low albumin and Cr/BSA became comparable with the non-PTX control group. The percentage of patients with low TLC became lower in the PTX group. Mixed-models analysis confirmed significant differences in the changes in serum albumin, serum Cr/BSA, and proportions of patients with low albumin and TLC between the two groups. In cohort 2, nutritional parameters were comparable at baseline. At follow-up, serum Cr/BSA was higher and proportions of patients with body mass index ≤18.5 kg/m2, low TLC and low Cr/BSA were lower in the PTX group. Weight gain was more frequent and of greater magnitude in the PTX group in both cohorts. A substantial reduction in blood pressure was also observed in the PTX group.ConclusionSevere hyperparathyroidism was associated with nutritional impairment which improved considerably after parathyroidectomy.

Project description:BackgroundPost-traumatic stress symptoms can occur in patients with medical illness. During the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) outbreak in South Korea in 2015, some dialysis patients in three centers who were incidentally exposed to patients or medical staff with confirmed MERS-CoV infection were isolated to interrupt the spread of the infection. We aimed to investigate post-traumatic stress symptoms and risk factors among these patients.Materials and methodsIn total, 116 hemodialysis (HD) patients in contact with MERS-CoV-confirmed subjects were isolated using three strategies, namely, single room isolation, cohort isolation, and self-quarantine. We used the Impact of Event Scale-Revised-Korean (IES-R-K) to examine post-traumatic stress symptoms at 12 months after the isolation period.ResultsOf the 116 HD patients, 27 were lost to follow-up. Of the 89 patients, 67 (75.3%) completed the questionnaires. Single room isolation was used on 40 (58.8%) of the patients, cohort isolation on 20 (29.4%), and self-imposed quarantine on 8 (11.8%). In total, 17.9% of participants (n = 12) reported post-traumatic stress symptoms exceeding the IES-R-K's cutoff point (≧18). Prevalence rates of IES-R-K ≧18 did not differ significantly according to isolation method. However, isolation duration was linearly associated with the IES-R-K score (standardized β coefficient - 0.272, P = 0.026). Scores in Avoidance, Emotional numbing and Dissociation subscale were higher in patients with longer isolation period.ConclusionMERS was a traumatic experience for quarantined HD patients. IES-R-K scores were not significantly different by isolation methods. However, short isolation was associated with post-traumatic stress symptoms.

Project description:BackgroundSpiritual needs have been associated with better physical health outcomes and provide a context for patients to gain hope and significance in coping with disease. This study aimed to understand the status of spiritual needs of patients with advanced cancer and conducted a quantitative study on the relationship between patient-reported physical, psychological, and social influencing factors and spiritual needs based on a biopsychosocial-spiritual model.MethodsIn this study, 200 oncology inpatients from Shandong Province were recruited using a convenience sampling method to conduct a cross-sectional survey using general data from December 2020 to June 2022. Correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between spiritual needs and cancer-related fatigue, anxiety and depression, the family care index, and social support. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between spiritual needs and the influencing factors.ResultsThe spiritual needs score of the patients with advanced cancer was high. Multiple regression analysis revealed that cancer-related fatigue, social support, and religious beliefs influenced the spiritual needs of patients with advanced cancer. Compared with married patients, widowed or divorced patients scored 8.531 points higher on spiritual needs. Cancer-related fatigue, social support, religious beliefs, and marital status (divorced or widowed) explained 21.4% of the total variation in the spiritual needs of patients with advanced cancer.ConclusionThe spiritual needs of patients with advanced cancer were significantly correlated with cancer-related fatigue, depression, social support, and other factors. Religious beliefs, marital status, cancer-related fatigue, and social support were the main factors influencing the spiritual needs of patients with advanced cancer. This is a quantitative study, and medical staff can provide targeted spiritual care for patients with cancer based on the above influencing factors.

Project description:The present study aims to examine the relationship between trait resilience and virtues in the context of trauma. A total of 537 participants who attended the preliminary investigation and completed the Life Events Checklist were screened. Of these participants, 142 suffered from personal traumatic experiences in the past year; these individuals were qualified and invited to respond to online questionnaires to assess trait resilience, virtues (i.e., Conscientiousness, Vitality, and Relationship), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, and post-traumatic growth (PTG). The following questionnaires were used: Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-Revised, Chinese Virtues Questionnaire, PTSD Checklist-Specific, and Post-traumatic Growth Inventory-Chinese. Only 95 participants who manifested self-reported PTSD symptoms and PTG were involved in the current analyses. Trauma was positively and significantly correlated with PTSD in the current sample. Results indicated that trait resilience was positively associated with virtues and PTG; by contrast, PTSD scores were negatively but not significantly related to most of these factors. The three virtues contributed to PTG to a greater extent than trait resilience in non-PTSD and PTSD groups. However, trait resilience remained a significant predictor in the PTSD group even when the three virtues were controlled. The relationship between trait resilience and PTG was moderated by PTSD type (non-PTSD group vs. PTSD group). Our results further suggested that trait resilience and virtues were conceptually related but functionally different constructs. Trait resilience and virtues are positively related; thus, these factors contributed variances to PTG in the context of trauma; however, trait resilience is only manifested when virtues are controlled and when individuals are diagnosed as PTSD. Furthermore, implications and limitations of this study are discussed.

Project description:ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to examine the factors that contribute to anxiety and depression in individuals undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), as well as their association with serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), and serotonin (5-HT).MethodsIn May 2020 and June 2022, 120 MHD patients who received MDH treatment at our hospital were enrolled. The control group was composed of 60 healthy adults (>18) who completed the physical examination at the same time. The serum levels of BDNF, NT-3, and 5-HT in patients and clinical data of MHD patients with different degrees of anxiety and depression were compared. The Pearson correlation was used to evaluate the correlation between anxiety and depression scores and serum BDNF, NT-3,5-HT levels in patients with MHD. Multivariate analysis was employed to analyze the risk factors of anxiety and depression in MHD patients.ResultsThe incidence of anxiety and depression in 120 MHD patients was 34.17% (41/120) and 64.17% (77/120), respectively. The levels of serum NT-3 and 5-HT in the anxiety group were higher than those in the non-anxiety and control group, and the levels of serum NT-3 in the non-anxiety group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The levels of serum BDNF, NT-3 and 5-HT in the depressed group were higher than those in the non-depressed group and control group, and the levels of serum NT-3 in the non-depressed group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). SAS score was positively correlated with serum NT-3 and 5-HT levels, while the SDS score was negatively correlated with serum BDNF and positively correlated with serum NT-3 and 5-HT levels. Female, rural household registration, and restless leg syndrome were independent risk variables for anxiety in patients with MHD (P < 0.05). Rural household registration, economic deterioration, fatigue, insomnia, and vascular pain were independent variables of depression risk in patients with MHD.ConclusionAnxiety and depression in patients with MHD are closely related to the levels of serum BDNF, NT-3, and 5-HT. Female, rural household registration, more than eight dialysis times/month, insomnia, and restless leg syndrome are the risk factors for anxiety in patients with MHD. Rural household registration, economic deterioration, fatigue, insomnia, and vascular pain are the risk factors for depression in patients with MHD. The clinical implication of these findings suggests that these indexes may perhaps serve as biological indicators of anxiety and depression amongst patients undergoing MHD. Such investigation can hence contribute to early detection, monitoring, and potentially enable the depiction of novel therapeutic strategies for managing these adverse states.

Project description:ObjectivesHemodialysis patients have a higher incidence of stroke than healthy individuals. Hemodialysis patients living on remote islands are subject to additional distance and transportation difficulties. Therefore, we aimed to study the association between stroke and hemodialysis in patients living on remote islands.Materials and methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study based on the medical records of maintenance hemodialysis patients in Shinkamigoto-Cho, Nagasaki, Japan, between June 1, 2005, and June 31, 2022. The clinical characteristics, probability of hemorrhagic stroke, acute ischemic stroke-free rate, and survival probability with or without a history of anticoagulant/antiplatelet use were evaluated. The survival probability among the hemorrhagic stroke, acute ischemic stroke, and non-stroke groups was also evaluated.ResultsThis study involved 142 patients. Nine patients (6.3%) had intracerebral hemorrhage, one (0.7%) had subarachnoid hemorrhage, eight (5.6%) had acute ischemic stroke, and 124 (87.3%) had no stroke. The number of patients with severe disabilities (modified Rankin Scale 5/6) was significantly higher in the hemorrhagic stroke group. The probability of hemorrhagic stroke and acute ischemic stroke-free rate, or survival probability with or without a history of anticoagulant/antiplatelet use, were not significantly different. The acute ischemic stroke group was not associated with a lower survival probability than the other groups. The hemorrhagic stroke group had a significantly lower survival probability than the acute ischemic stroke group.ConclusionsThis is the first study to report the status of stroke in hemodialysis patients living on remote islands, thus providing valuable information for improved stroke management in such patients.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Population-based data on the prevalence, correlates, and treatment utilization of post-traumatic stress disorder by gender and veteran status are limited. With changes in post-traumatic stress disorder diagnostic criteria in 2013, current information from a uniform data source is needed. METHODS:This was a secondary analysis of the 2012-2013 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions-III, which consisted of in-person interviews that were conducted with a representative sample of U.S. adults. The Alcohol Use Disorder and Associated Disabilities Interview Schedule-DSM-5 Version was used to assess past-year and lifetime post-traumatic stress disorder among veterans (n=3,119) and civilians (n=32,982). Data were analyzed from January to March 2017. RESULTS:Adjusting for age and race/ethnicity, women veterans reported the highest rates of lifetime and past-year post-traumatic stress disorder (13.4%, 95% CI=8.8%, 17.9%, and 11.7%, 95% CI=7.1%, 16.4%) compared with women civilians (8.0%, 95% CI=7.4%, 8.6%, and 6.0%, 95% CI=5.5%, 6.6%); men veterans (7.7%, 95% CI=6.5%, 8.8%, and 6.7%, 95% CI=5.7%, 7.8%); and men civilians (3.4%, 95% CI=3.0%, 3.9%, and 2.6%, 95% CI=2.2%, 2.9%). Traumatic event exposure, correlates of lifetime post-traumatic stress disorder, and treatment seeking varied across subgroups. Men and women veterans were more likely than civilians to use a variety of treatment sources, with men civilians being least likely to seek treatment and men veterans exhibiting the longest delay in seeking treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Post-traumatic stress disorder is a common mental health disorder that varies by gender and veteran status. Women veterans' high rates of post-traumatic stress disorder highlight a critical target for prevention and intervention, whereas understanding treatment barriers for men veterans and civilians is necessary.
