The post-operative intensive care experience of a school-aged child who received living-donor bilateral lobar lung transplantation due to acute respiratory distress syndrome and interstitial pulmonary fibrosis is discussed in this paper. The patient received lungs donated by her parents in a "livingdonor bilateral lobar lung transplantation" due to severe lung function impairment. The patient felt anxious due to her long-term hospitalization for preoperative evaluation, various invasive treatments, and postoperative rehabilitation. During the care period from October 25th, 2022, to December 29th, 2022, the author collected data via direct care, interviews, medical record reviews, and interactions with the patient and her family. An assessment of the patient's physical, mental, and social integrity was made, and the collected data were organized and analyzed to identify health issues such as lack of activity endurance, imbalanced nutrition below bodily requirements, and anxiety. After the lung transplantation operation, the interdisciplinary team worked collaboratively to develop a care plan to improve cardiopulmonary endurance and enhance the quality of care for the patient through early care and rehabilitation via proactive care. This care plan included encouraging the patient and her parents to express their fears and feelings and using flashcards to teach them about dietary management and the proper performance of lung rehabilitation. These measures encouraged the parents to engage in care, properly prepare for discharge care, and receive care education. As this is the first case of livingdonor lobar lung transplantation in Taiwan, this valuable nursing experience is expected to provide future care teams with a reference on the related nursing process and care experience for similar cases.

Sjogren's syndrome is a refractory disease for which TCM demonstrates certain advantages in its treatment. "Prevalent dryness affecting the liver" is a classical theory from Huangdi Neijing (Huangdi's Internal Classic), which has important guiding significance for the treatment of Sjogren's syndrome with TCM. In this paper, the connotation and development of the theory of "prevalent dryness affecting the liver" is comprehensively analyzed in combination with clinical practice. Sjogren's syndrome is closely related to the liver itself, its functions, and the coordination between the liver and other viscera. The liver itself pertains to yin, and it nourishes blood and moistens dryness. The liver's functions pertain to yang, and they help to move body fluids without any sign of dryness. It's also of great significance that the liver and other viscera are well coordinated. In ancient books and modern studies, many clinical manifestations of Sjogren's syndrome, including anxiety and depression, are closely related to the liver. Therefore, the treatment methods based on regulating and soothing the liver are summarized, such as soothing the liver qi, clearing the liver heat and nourishing the liver yin, taking into account all the five zang organs, and dredging the channels and collaterals. Taking the theory of "prevalent dryness affecting the liver" as the breakthrough point, this paper systematically sorts out the onset, pathogenesis, pattern differentiation, and the significance of addressing the liver in the treatment of Sjogren's syndrome to provide reference for clinical practice.

This article reports on the nursing experience in caring for a 23 year old man who suffered a spinal cord injury after a car accident. Even after long-term rehabilitation therapy, the patient felt weakness in his lower limbs and neuralgia. Therefore, he was admitted in our hospital for spinal cord stimulation surgery. Nursing care for the patient lasted from September 16 to November 06, 2019. Gordon's functional health patterns assessment, penand- paper communication, systematic observation, as well as the medical records were utilized for data collection. According to the results of the data analysis, major health problems encountered by the nurse included pain, impaired physical mobility, and anxiety. During care, the patient's level of pain was assessed via the pain scale, and subsequently the patient and family were instructed to utilize relaxation techniques, massages, and medication. Rehabilitation activities were arranged for muscle strength training, such as the use of Redcord training and tilting a table at 65 degrees for 20-30 mins to maintain the patient's physical activity and enhance muscle strength. We provided active, caring companionship, guided the patient to express his inner feelings, enhanced his positive self-concept to help him actively cooperate with the rehabilitation. We hope that this nursing experience can serve as a future reference for nursing staff with similar cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

New, science-based cancer treatments have proliferated in recent years. Immunotherapy provides new hope for prolonging survival in patients with advanced-stage cancers. However, patients with cancer must not only face their disease progression, physical, and psychological symptoms, but also deal with the side effects and efficacy of immunotherapy. Patients with cancer may experience complex emotions such as fear, anxiety, depression, or uncertainty relatively frequently and may have many unmet care needs specific to immunotherapy. However, articles on the physical and psychological impacts and supportive care needs experienced by patients with advanced-stage cancers undergoing immunotherapy and their family caregivers are limited in the literature. Thus, this paper was developed to present (1) a brief introduction to cancer immunotherapy; (2) the physical and psychological impacts experienced by patients with cancer undergoing immunotherapy and their caregivers; (3) the status of the supportive care needs of patients and family caregivers during the immunotherapy process; and (4) an assessment of and intervention to address the supportive care needs of these patients with cancer and their caregivers. We hope this article will help clinical healthcare providers understand the physical and psychological impacts and supportive care needs of advanced patients with cancer and their family caregivers during the immunotherapy process. Furthermore, we suggest that appropriate medical care be provided or developed in the future to improve their quality of life during the immunotherapy process and to enhance clinical practices.

The theory of "heart housing shen (mind)" elaborated on in Huangdi Neijing (Huangdi's Internal Classic) has important guiding significance in clinical practice. In view of the prevalence and morbidity of coronary heart disease with anxiety and depression, which is considered to be the disorder of heart's function, the heart failing to house shen could be used in explanation of its pathogenesis. This paper explains the theoretical connotation of "heart housing shen" and the intrinsic connection between such a theory and the coronary heart disease with anxiety and depression. Based on that, it is stated that "treatment to restore the heart's dual functions" and "simultaneous treatment of the body and mind" are the fundamental treatment principles for that disorder. Besides, as the onset of the coronary heart disease with anxiety and depression is also closely related to the liver, both the heart and liver should be addressed by nourishing the heart and calming the shen, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and regulating the liver qi to relieve qi stagnation.

The paper explores the perioperative nursing experience of caring for a middle-aged adult who sought change in his appearance and received a hair transplant procedure two times. The researcher, considering physical, mental, social and spiritual aspects, made an overall nursing assessment of the patient's surgery and established that the patient had anxiety, acute pain and feeling of uncertainty. During the nursing process, the patient's favorite Japanese songs were played in order to relieve anxiety, and an ice pack and finger massage were provided in order to relieve pain. The patient needed to wait for new hair growth in transplanted hair follicles, So long-term companionship was provided each time he made a return visit to the doctor, which also gave him immediate care and consultation in order to reduce feelings of uncertainty towards the effectiveness of the hair transplant. We suggest making a health education video about "post-hair transplantation home care FAQs" so as to help similar patients' carry out home care correctly which may also improve the degree of satisfaction with the care of daytime surgery.

In our hospital, 32% of inpatients with HIV reported emotional distress in 2015. In this study, we developed and evaluated the effectiveness of intervention programs to reduce inpatient anxiety from 2016 to 2017. We first identified the six major sources of their anxiety: (a) friends and relatives who repeatedly ask patients about their disease conditions, (b) the paper education leaflets they received explicitly labeling their diagnosis, (c) not knowing who to ask in case of queries, (d) their discharge medication pack revealing their drug names and usage instructions, (e) drug education leaflets lacking individuality, and (f) drug education conducted only through verbal means without hard copies for reference. Our intervention program was then designed to provide training to health workers, a web link to a health education QR CODE APP, one-on-one consultation using anonymous communication through LINE software, individualized medication reminder box, customized color drug map leaflet, and the HAART drug guidance reference manual. We observed that the percentage of inpatients with HIV whose anxiety scores were ≥8 points had dropped from 40% before the intervention program to 20.5% after it. These results could be used as a reference for developing education-related care measures to reduce the anxiety of institutionalized patients with HIV. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Globally, preoperative period anxiety is a common occurrence among adults undergoing elective surgery. Not only can preoperative anxiety lead to delays or cancellations of surgical procedures, but it can also negatively impact the prognosis of the condition being treated. To alleviate this issue, non-pharmacological interventions such as prayer, massage, music, imagery, and acupuncture have been widely employed. These methods have proven effective in reducing preoperative anxiety, lowering healthcare costs, and enhancing patient satisfaction. In particular, the traditional Chinese medicine technique of auricular acupressure offers a novel approach to managing preoperative anxiety through its ability to promote circulation, relieve pain, calm the mind, and induce tranquility. However, current research on auricular acupressure primarily focuses on postoperative scenarios, specific diseases, or types of surgery. Through literature review and analysis, this paper summarizes the application of auricular acupressure in alleviating preoperative anxiety among adults undergoing elective surgery and discusses its physiological mechanisms, providing a reference for clinical practice. Although auricular acupressure presents an effective non-pharmacological intervention, further research is needed to validate its efficacy in clinical settings, and attention must be paid to the risk of infection during its application.

This paper describes a postoperative ICU nursing experience caring for a young woman after a failed free muscle flap reconstruction surgery. The nursing period lasted from February 19th to 28th, 2016. Using Gordon's functional health patterns as the framework for assessment, the author collected data by observing and interviewing the patient, and identified the following nursing problems: acute pain, impaired tissue integrity, anxiety, and impaired physical mobility. The author used individualized nursing care, applied a pain observation tool to document the patient's pain and relief discomfort, monitored flap blood flow to ensure the prevention of graft failure, and built trust with the patient through care to facilitate a positive patient attitude. Free muscle flap observation is different from that of skin flaps. It should focus on the observation of muscle moisture, blood flow, and color. In addition, immediate notification of medical treatment can increase the success rate of reconstruction. It is hoped that the sharing of this experience can be used to provide a reference for clinical nursing personnel to improve the quality of clinical care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This case report addresses the author's experience providing nursing care to a 37-year-old patient diagnosed with multiple myeloma requiring regular renal dialysis due to disease progression who received autologous stem cell transplantation. The patient was diagnosed with cancer in young adulthood and, as a father figure, faced various psychological issues associated with the unexpected challenges encountered during their treatment phase. Psychosocial health, which is closely associated with quality of life in patients with cancer, has gained increasing attention in recent years. The limited research published on the subject of fathers diagnosed with cancer encouraged the author to detail her experience with this case. The care period was from August 5th to August 19th, 2022. During the care period, the Gordons's 11 functional health assessment was applied, with potentially severe infections, coping disorders, anxiety, potential risk of injury existing or potential nutritional deficiencies, oral mucosal changes, and diarrhea identified as the primary health problems of concern. Nursing interventions applied included providing protective isolation measures to prevent post-transplant infection, helping the patient learn effective ways to cope with emotional distress, and providing comprehensive follow-up care information and health education to alleviate the anxiety associated with hospital discharge and life after discharge. The challenges of providing nursing care to adolescent and young adult patients differ significantly from those faced in the care of either elderly or pediatric patients. Furthermore, although extensive research has been conducted on mothers diagnosed with cancer, little research has addressed the impact on the paternal role when fathers are diagnosed with cancer, with limited information available regarding their psychological concerns and issues or the impact on family dynamics. The author hopes this case care experience offers an insightful reference and guide for nursing practice that contributes to a better understanding of the psychological aspects of young adult fathers diagnosed with cancer and facilitates more appropriate care in clinical settings.

Objective To investigate the current status of frailty in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), and explore the correlation of frailty with anxiety and depression. Methods General information, clinical data and blood biochemical data of 101 cases who underwent MHD in Department of Nephrology, Shunde Hospital Affiliated to Jinan University from January 2023 to January 2024 were collected. FRAIL scale was applied to evaluate the frailty of the patients, and they were accordingly classified into frailty group and non-frailty group (including pre-frail and non-frail participants). Anxiety and depression were evaluated by GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scale. Univariate analysis and logistic regression were used to explore the association of frailty with anxiety, depression and other possible influencing factors. Results Among the 101 cases, 29 cases (28.71%) were includedin frailty group and 72 cases (71.29%) in non-frailty group. There were 42 patients with depression (41.58%) and 25 with anxiety (24.75%). In the frailty group, the prevalence of depression was 65.52% and that of anxiety 55.17%. There were significant differences in age, grip strength, exercise, stroke and coronary heart disease, anxiety and depression, ferritin and CRP between the two groups (P < 0.01). Multivariate regression analysis showed that depression, anxi- ety, no exercise, stroke and high ferritin concentration were independent risk factors for frailty in MHD patients (P < 0.05). Conclusion In patients on MHD, frailty is closely associated with depression, anxiety, and lack of exercise, and stroke as well as high ferritin concentration are independent risk factors for frailty.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, Mao Dun transferred from Hong Kong to Guilin. Jiehou Shiyi（劫后拾遗） is his first work after arriving in Guilin, which has special symbolic significance. It is recognized as a news style from a literary style. In this paper, the author believes that the naming of "sketch-styled novel" can not only pertinently summarize the stylistic aesthetics of the novel, but also effectively explain the underlying causes of the stylistic anxiety. As the development form of the "sketch-styled novel" in the 1940 s, the novel is not only a literary vein that was popular in the 1920 s and 1930 s, but also a product of the revival of "sketch-style" in the context of the Resistance against Japanese Aggression era and the birth of new aesthetic quality.

"Mindfulness" is an emerging concept in the field of healthcare. Ranging from stress relief to psychotherapy, mindfulness has been confirmed to be an effective tool to help individuals manage depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and other health problems in clinical settings. Scholars currently use various definitions for mindfulness. While some of these definitions overlap, significant differences remain and a general scholarly consensus has yet to be reached. Several domestic and international studies have explored mindfulness-related interventions and their effectiveness. However, the majority of these studies have focused on the fields of clinical medicine, consultation, and education. Mindfulness has rarely been applied in clinical nursing practice and no related systematic concept analysis has been conducted. This paper conducts a concept analysis of mindfulness using the concept analysis method proposed by Walker and Avant (2011). We describe the defining characteristics of mindfulness, clarify the concept, and confirm the predisposing factors and effects of mindfulness using examples of typical cases, borderline cases, related cases, and contrary case. Findings may provide nursing staff with an understanding of the concept of mindfulness for use in clinical practice in order to help patients achieve a comfortable state of body and mind healing.

Anthropology generally regards the state and bureaucracy as instrumental and symbolic, the former based on its utilitarian rationality, while the latter on its relationships with local culture. Taking the case of planning, I further point out that attention should be paid to its potency to conjure emotions among the people, and how it promises, much as a religion promises its devotees, to let people become part of a much larger meaningful totality, and more, willful agents of state governance. This article draws on my participation in the Humanities Innovation and Social Practice Project under the Ministry of Science and Technology from 2013 to 2016. It explores how the Project stimulates people’s engagement through three kinds of meeting: meetings between the funding agency and the Investigation Team, between members of the Investigation Team, and between the Investigation Team and collaborative groups. The paper first explores how planning develops into the mechanism of a promissory future; and second examines the gaps between the promise and the discontent that arises as a result of negotiations and attunements among various agents. Meetings are one way of materializing planning; they are an important venue through which we understand how the plan constructs and encounters different identities, desires, and anxieties when it promises a good future.

In this paper I attempt to shed light on the basic meaning of Kitaro Nishida's "Absolute Nothingness" in middle Nishida. During this period of his philosophy Nishida concentrated on the establishment of a "system of self-consciousness" that reached from the universality of judgment to the place of absolute nothingness. Specifically, I focus on his essay "The Intelligible World" written in 1928. For Nishida, "being" meant to be determined by or located in a universal. This state of affairs can also be expressed as the "self-determination of the universal," which is a key concept in his system of self-consciousness. By demonstrating a path of immanent transcendence which goes deep into the direction of predicate or self-consciousness, Nishida finally reaches the basho of absolute nothingness. In this essay I try to reconstruct Nishida's path, leading from being to nothingness, and to expound some possible meaning of absolute nothingness in his middle period. The study is divided into four sections. After a brief introduction of the theme and methods of the article (section one), I try to reconstruct Nishida's transcendental path from the "world of consciousness" to "the intelligible world" (section two) and then the transition from "the intelligible world" to the "basho of absolute nothingness" (section three). The intelligible world is the world in which ideal beings (such as truth, beauty and good) are located. Finally in the last section (section four) I make a summary of the meaning of absolute nothingness. Through comparison with Heidegger's elucidation of the experience of nothingness in anxiety, as outlined in his article "What is Metaphysics?" in 1929, I also attempt to expound some possible horizons that are opened by Nishida in his discussion of the experience of nothingness. It is my view that the experience of nothingness is not an extraordinary experience, but a hidden moment inherent in our daily experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In April 2009, a novel H1N1 influenza virus had emerged and became pandemic. The impact of the novel H1N1 influenza virus included not only physical illness but also mental and psychological suffering. The paper discussed a case of novel H1N1 influenza virus infection who presented nursing problems due to isolation protection during emergency department admission (from Nov 20th ~27th, 2007). The data was collected for analysis via physical examinations, observation and confrontation conversation.
