RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To search for and summarize the best evidence for themanagement of elderly patients with dysphagia. METHODS: Clinical decisions, recommended practices, evidence summaries, clinical practice guidelines, expert consensus, and systematic reviews on the management of dysphagia among elderly patients were systematically reviewed from domestic and foreign guideline websites, association websites, and Chinese and English databases according to the 6S model of evidence-based resources. The search period was between January 1, 2010 and November 1, 2023. Two researchers evaluated the quality of the included literature respectively and extracted evidence. RESULTS: A total of 14 literatures were identified, including 2 guidelines, 2 clinical decisions, 5 evidence summaries, 3 expert consensus statements, and 2 systematic reviews. Twenty-four pieces of evidence from 7 aspects were summarized, including assessment, treatment and rehabilitation, medication care, nutrition management, oral care, complication management, and psychological care. CONCLUSION: The best evidence-based recommendations for the management of dysphagia in elderly patients is summarized, it is suggested that the best evidence should be selected according to the actual situation of patients, and a personalized management plan should be formulated to improve the quality of life of patients and achieve high-quality nursing.

Objective: This study aims to explore the effects of the Information-Motivation-Behavioral (IMB) Skills Model on the prevention of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) in elderly lung cancer patients. Methods: A convenience sampling method was used to select study participants who were hospitalized for treatment between November 2022 and August 2023 at a tertiary hospital in Neijiang and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The control group (n = 41) received conventional health education, while the intervention group (n = 40) received health education based on the IMB Skills Model over three months. The scores of the Venous Thrombosis Knowledge, Participation in Thrombosis Prevention Willingness and Behavior Questionnaire, and Quality of Life Measurement Scale (QLQ-C30) were compared before the intervention and after three months. After three months of intervention, the hospital satisfaction and VTE incidence rates in both groups were investigated and compared. Results: After three months of intervention, the scores for the Venous Thrombosis Knowledge, (Participation in Thrombosis Prevention Willingness and Behavior Questionnaire in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The QLQ-C30 scores in the intervention group for physical function, role function, emotional function, insomnia, appetite loss, and overall health status were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The intervention group rated higher in doctor's professional skills, information provision, accessibility; nurse's professional skills, humanistic care, information provision, accessibility; team communication, services of other personnel, overall satisfaction compared to the control group (P < 0.05). The rate of VTE in the intervention group was 2.5%(1/40), and that in the control group was 19.5%(8/41). There was a significant difference (χ2 = 4.336, P = 0.037). Conclusion: Nursing interventions based on the IMB Skills Model for elderly lung cancer patients can enhance patients' understanding of venous thrombosis, increase willingness and active participation in thrombosis prevention, improve quality of life, increase hospital satisfaction, and reduce the incidence of VTE.
RESUMO
Introduction: Research has demonstrated that higher social support is associated with better psychological health, quality of life, cognition, activities of daily living, and social participation, but the relationship between social support and sleep quality remains unknown. This study aims to investigate the mediating effects of anxiety and depression in the relationship between social support and sleep among community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia. Method: Purposive sampling was used to collect face-to-face data from 1,107 community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China, between April and July 2023. The Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) was used to assess sleep quality; the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7) was utilized to evaluate anxiety symptoms; and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) was employed to assess depressive symptoms. The mediating effect of anxiety and depression symptoms was assessed using the bootstrap method via Model 6 (Serial multiple mediator model) of the SPSS PROCESS macro. Results: Among the 1,107 participants, the proportions of people with schizophrenia experiencing anxiety, depressive symptoms, and poor sleep quality were 22.8, 37.7, and 42.1%, respectively. Mediation analyses indicated that although social support had no direct effect on sleep quality, anxiety and depressive symptoms fully mediated the relationship between social support and sleep quality. Conclusion: Patients with schizophrenia experience low levels of social support and poor sleep quality. To enhance the sleep quality of individuals with schizophrenia, all levels of society (government, medical institutions, and communities) must pay more attention to mental health. Implementing diverse intervention measures to strengthen social support and improve symptoms of anxiety and depression should be considered. This approach may potentially lead to an improvement in sleep quality among individuals with schizophrenia.

Introduction: With the progressive aging of the population, frailty is now a significant challenge in geriatrics research. A growing amount of evidence suggests that sleep disturbance and depression have independent effects on frailty, although the underlying mechanisms are not yet clear. This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of depression in the relationship between sleep disturbance and frailty in older adult patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in the community. Method: Purposive sampling was used to collect face-to-face data from 342 community-dwelling T2DM patients in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China, between February and May 2023. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scale was used to evaluate sleep quality, the Simple Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) was used to evaluate depressive symptoms, and the FRAIL Scale (FRAIL) was used to evaluate frailty. Linear regression equation and bootstrap self-sampling were used to verify the mediating role of depressive symptoms in sleep disturbance and frailty. Result: The study found that sleep disturbance had a direct positive effect with frailty [ß = 0.040, 95% CI: (0.013, 0.069)]. Additionally, depression had a direct positive effect on frailty [ß = 0.130, 95% CI: (0.087, 0.173)], and depression was found to partially mediate the relationship between sleep disturbance and frailty. Conclusion: Poor sleep quality and frailty are common in patients with T2DM. To reduce the frailty of older adult T2DM patients, all levels of society (government, medical institutions, and communities) must pay more attention to mental health. A variety of interventions should be considered to improve sleep quality and depression, which in turn may prevent or control frailty.

BACKGROUND: Internet addiction, defined as uncontrolled behaviour resulting from the use of the Internet without the influence of addictive substances, which can seriously impair academic, occupational and social functioning. Non-suicidal self-injury, defined as self-injurious behaviour without the intent to die, and its addictive characteristics are similar to those of Internet addiction. Currently, there is a lack of research on the relationship between non-suicidal self-injury and Internet addiction. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between non-suicidal self-injury and internet addiction among college students and the role of self-concealment in this relationship. METHODS: In this study, data were collected online between December 2022 and January 2023 from 600 university students in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China, using purposive sampling. The questionnaires included the Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Inventory (NSSI), the Self-Concealment Scale (SCS) and the Internet Addiction Test (IAT). RESULTS: A total of 573 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 95.50%. CONCLUTION: The results suggest that self-concealment plays a partial mediating role between non-suicidal self-injury and internet addiction among college students. The authors emphasized the importance of internet addiction. In order to reduce the occurrence of internet addiction, schools should provide targeted interventions to promote the psychological health of college students' internet addictive behaviours.
