To retrospectively summarize the medical rescue organization and strategy of West China Hospital medical team during the Wenchuan earthquake so as to provide reference for rescue practice in the future. We emphasize that the key point to improve the efficiency of rescue is scientifically assigning and util izing medical resource according to the demand at the actual locale of the earthquake and the characters of various stages of the earthquake .
ObjectiveTo explore family care and its influence on the life quality of schizophrenia patients. MethodsBetween September 2011 and March 2012, 101 schizophrenia patients were investigated with Questionnaire of Family Care and Quality of Life Inventory and were divided into two groups in order to compare their life quality. According to the scores of Questionnaire of Family Care, 56 subjects were in support group and 45 subjects were in control group. ResultsAmong the 101 patients, 55.45% had good family care and 44.55% had not. In the support group, there was no significant correlation between family care and life quality in the first month and the third month (r=0.023, P=0.894; r=-0.072, P=0.587), while there was a significant correlation between family care and life quality in the sixth month (r=-0.322, P=0.032). In the control group, there was no significant differences in the score of family care and life quality in the first, third and sixth month (r=0.021, P=0.893; r=0.114, P=0.482; r=1.863, P=0.226). ConclusionLong-term family care is significantly correlated with the life quality of schizophrenia patients. If schizophrenic patients get more poor family care, they will have lower life quality. It's important to create a good and comfortable environment for the patients.
Objective To explor the influence of the hospital-community-family mental rehabilitation mode on the quality of life of patients with schizophrenia. Methods We selected 101 patients diagnosed as schizophrenia according to ICD-10, who were hospitalized in mental health center of the West China Hospital and took part in rehabilitation voluntarily after discharge. Those patients were randomly assigned to two groups. Hospital-community-family mental rehabilitation mode intervention was applied to the patients based on inpatient rehabilitation in the trial group (n=52), while inpatient rehabilitation alone was applied in the control group (n=49). The total score of quality of life, psycho-social dimension, motivation and energy dimension, score of mental disability and social function, and family social care index were recorded. Then, statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 17.0 software. Results After 3 months and 6 months, the trial group had lower scores of the total score of quality of life, psycho-social domain, and motive and energy dimension than those of the control group (Plt;0.05). After 6 months, the trial group had lower scores of mental disability and social function (Plt;0.05) but a higher score of family social care index (Plt;0.05). The scores of WHO-DSA II and SQLS were positively correlated, while the scores of APGAR and SQLS were negatively correlated. Conclusion The integral mode of hospital-community-family mental rehabilitation effectively improves the quality of life of patients with schizophrenia, which also positively improves patients’ rehabilitation.
Objective To investigate the level and influencing factors of perceived HIV stigma and discrimination among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Methods By using convenience sampling method, 123 patients were recruited from the department of infectious diseases in a tertiary hospital in Chengdu from April to May in 2017. Berger HIV stigma scale was used to measure the level of perceived HIV stigma. Results The mean score of Berger HIV stigma scale was 113.72±17.890, which revealed a middle to upper level. Among the four subscales, the score of disclosure concerns (3.07±0.462) was the highest, while the score of negative self-image (2.70±0.494) was the lowest. Multiple regression analysis showed that gender and self-perceived health status were the influencing factors of perceived HIV stigma. Conclusions The level of perceived HIV stigma among PLWHA is from middle to upper level. Female gender and poor self-perceived health status are associated with a higher level of perceived HIV stigma. Individualized interventions are required in order to reduce the level of HIV stigma.
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effect of transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block as part of multimodal analgesia in enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program for patients with hepatic hydatidosis. MethodsThis study was a randomized controlled trial (The registration number was ChiCTR2100053689). According to the established inclusion and exclusion criteria, the patients diagnosed with hepatic hydatidosis treated in the People’s Hospital of Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture from October 2019 to August 2021 were prospectively included. The odd and even by obverse and reverse of coin was adopted to assign into the study group and the control group, respectively. The patients in the study group were treated with ERAS + TAP block + patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) + tramadol and the patients in the control group were treated with ERAS + PCIA + tramadol. The intraoperative and postoperative statuses of the two groups were compared. ResultsA total of 64 patients were enrolled in this study, including 32 patients in the study group and 32 patients in the control group. There were no statistical differences in the baseline data such as the age, gender, preoperative complications, preoperative liver function, and liver hydatid type between the two groups (P>0.05). The operations of 64 patients were performed successfully, and there was no perioperative death. There were no statistical differences in the operation time, intraoperative bleeding, and operation mode between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the points of visual analogue scale of postoperative pain on day 1 and 2 were lower (P<0.05), the dosage of tramadol within 2 d after operation and hospitalization expenses were less (P<0.05), and the getting out of bed time, eating liquid diet time, postoperative exhaust time, and total hospital stay were shorter (P<0.05) in the study group. The total complication rate of the study group was lower than that of the control group [28.1% (9/32) vs. 78.1% (25/32), χ2=16.063, P<0.001]. The comprehensive complication index was positively correlated with the total hospital stay (r=0.941, P<0.001) and hospitalization expenses (r=0.958, P<0.001). ConclusionPreliminary results of this study suggest that multimodal analgesia included TAP block is effective in ERAS, and could shorten hospital stay and reduce hospitalization expenses.
