Abstract

The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effects of a nurse-led hybrid teaching program on lower limb strength, knee function, and depression in older adults after total knee replacement (TKR). This was a single-blind, randomized controlled trial. Fifty-two patients who underwent TKR were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (EG; n = 26), which received routine care plus 16 weeks of home rehabilitation through a hybrid teaching program, or the control group (CG; n = 26), which received routine care only. The intervention included pre-discharge face-to-face education, video instructions to follow at home after discharge, and four monthly telephone-based follow ups during the 16 weeks post-surgery. After the 16-week intervention, participants in the EG exhibited improved quadriceps strength, hamstring strength, and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) compared to those in the CG. Generalized estimating equation analyses revealed a significant group-by-time interaction effect on quadriceps strength, overall KOOS score, and Geriatric Depression Scale-Short Form score. Findings suggest that a nurse-led hybrid teaching program enhances physical and psychological function after TKR when compared to routine care. This hybrid teaching program, involving exercise and postoperative education, proves to be a feasible and cost-effective intervention for improving outcomes in older adults following TKR. Health care teams should consider it as a viable home rehabilitation option for older adults who undergo TKR. [Research in Gerontological Nursing, 17(1), 31–40.] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Aims: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a breast cancer screening educational program on women’s knowledge and intention to seek breast cancer screening in Taiwan. Materials and Method: This study describes the knowledge and intention of breast cancer screening changes during the period pre and post group education. A pre-test and post-test were used in both the experimental and the control groups. A convenience sampling was used. Two structured questionnaires were used. Results: The mean knowledge of breast cancer screening scores (pre-test and post-test) of the experimental group participants were 12.6 and 14.0. Then the mean knowledge of breast cancer screening scores (pre-test and post-test) of the control group participants were 11.8 and 12.1. The mean intention of breast cancer screening scores (pre-test and post-test) of the experimental group participants were 11.4 and 13.5. And the mean intention of breast cancer screening scores (pre-test and post-test) of the control group participants were 11.6 and 12.4. An independent-t test was applied to examine the differences among the two groups, revealing that the average post-test knowledge score differ significantly between the two groups (t =4.18, p

Abstract

Hemorrhoidectomy is the current best treatment for severe hemorrhoids, but it causes significant postoperative pain and anxiety, which is associated with heart rate variability (HRV). Transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation (TAES) was assumed to alleviate pain and anxiety, and modify the autonomic nervous system. This study aimed to examine the effects of TAES intervention on postoperative pain, anxiety, and HRV in patients who received a hemorrhoidectomy. A randomized-controlled trial with five repeated measures was conducted. The TAES group (n = 39) received four 20-min sessions of electrical stimulation at chengshan (BL57) and erbai (EX-UE2) after hemorrhoidectomy, whereas the control group (n = 41) did not. Data were collected using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), State Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and HRV physiological signal monitor. TAES resulted in a significant group difference in pain scores, anxiety levels, and some HRV parameters. The findings indicate that TAES can help reduce pain and anxiety associated with hemorrhoidectomy. TAES is a noninvasive, simple, and convenient modality for post-hemorrhoidectomy-associated pain control and anxiety reduction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
