It globally affects 10% - 15% of couples. In Cameroon, little is known about what women do to overcome the psychosocial aspects of the disease. Objectives: This study aimed to identify the support systems and coping strategies of infertile women attending the outpatient consultation unit of the Gynaecological Endoscopic Surgery and Reproductive Teaching Hospital (CHRACERH), Yaoundé, Cameroon. Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted from the 14th of March to the 6th of April 2023 at CHRACERH Yaoundé. A total of 190 participants were recruited using a convenience sampling method. Data regarding socio-demographic characteristics, support systems and coping strategies were collected using a pretested questionnaire. Descriptive and analytic statistics were conducted using SPSS version 25. Results: The mean age of participants was 39.52 ± 7.64 years. The majority 78.9% of participants were workers (public, private sector, or traders) and were Christians 95.8%. The most common source of psychological support was from family 76.8 and husbands 72.63%. Most of the participants 89.5% resorted to prayer and getting busy 48.4% as a coping strategy. There was no statistically significant relationship between coping strategies and psychological disorders p > 0.05. Conclusion: The main support system of participants was family, husband, and friends. Prayer, getting busy and adoption were the most common coping strategies. There is a need for the Ministry of Public Health and other stakeholders to put in place other support systems and coping strategies (FELICIA) used elsewhere and provide adequate health education and infection control to prevent infertility in Cameroon.展开更多

Local communities, for instance, had their local coping strategies that enabled them to stay in their communities even amid these ordeals, and climate change disaster threats. This work strives to understand flood impacts and the local peoples’ adaptation or coping strategies along the River Gambia basin. A community-based cross-sectional research study of 422 research participants of which 294 are males (69.7%) and females 128 (30.3%), and a focus group discussion of 10 groups which comprised 5 female groups and 5 male groups respectively found that 98.6% of the households experienced floods in their community, and 70.6% experienced flood in their houses, 2.1% have impending flood information and 88.4% do not know evacuation centres. The majority of the households had some local coping strategies, but they acknowledged their insufficient effectiveness. The result also shows that the impact of floods on farmlands, roads, buildings, and livestock was greatly felt. Coping strategies such as sandbags, raised elevations, contour bonds, dikes, and buildings on highlands were all found to be common mechanisms the local people used. The study opines that floods affect communities, but the effects vary depending on individual assets.展开更多

Methods: the patients who underwent blood purification treatment in our hospital from August 2018 to August 2019 were selected as the research objects. Patients were divided into observation group and control group. Among them, the observation group had safety problems during blood purification nursing;Patients in the control group did not have any safety problems during blood purification. Two groups of patients were treated with corresponding blood purification nursing methods, and the clinical details of patients were analyzed and summarized. The safety factors in the process of blood purification nursing were investigated in detail and the corresponding countermeasures were formulated. Results: ① After analyzing the single factor of blood purification nursing safety risk, we know that the main safety risks come from nurses, patients themselves, environmental factors, nursing quality management, nursing mode and so on. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). ② After multi-factor analysis, it can be seen that the main safety risks come from nurses, patients themselves, environmental factors, nursing factors and nursing modes. These safety risks are also the only safety risks in blood purification nursing, and the difference is statistically significant (P < 0.05). ③ There was no significant difference after scoring the psychological function, physiological function, physical pain, general health, social function, emotional reaction and mental reaction between the two groups (P > 0.05). After nursing, physiological function, physical pain and general health of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). ④ The comfort of nursing observation group was higher than that of control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: in the process of blood purification nursing for patients, there are many factors that will lead to nursing safety. In the process of treatment, we should first understand the actual problems and formulate targeted treatment methods, so as to improve the nursing safety of patients with blood purification nursing and improve the treatment effect. Therefore, it should be widely popularized in clinical nursing of blood purification.展开更多

文摘Humanoid robots exhibit structures and movements akin to those of humans,enabling them to assist or substitute for humans in various operations without necessitating alterations to their typical environment and tools.Sustaining bal-ance amidst disturbances constitutes a fundamental capability for humanoid robots.Consequently,adopting efficacious strategies to manage instability and mitigate injuries resulting from falls assumes paramount importance in advancing the widespread adoption of humanoid robotics.This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the ongoing development of strategies for coping with falls in humanoid robots.It systematically reviews and discusses three critical facets:fall state detection,preventive actions against falls,and post-fall protection measures.The paper undertakes a thorough classifica-tion of existing coping methodologies across different stages of falls,analyzes the merits and drawbacks of each approach,and outlines the evolving trajectory of solutions for addressing fall-related challenges across distinct stages.Finally,the paper provides a succinct summary and future prospects for the current fall coping strategies tailored for humanoid robots.
文摘The study examined work engagement and coping strategies in the relationship between abusive supervision and helping behaviors among hospitality employees.Participants were 386 frontline hospitality employees(50.8%females;38.9%with 1–5 years of experience;78.3%in the 18–40 age range).They self-reported coping strategies,abusive supervision,work engagement,and helping behaviors.Structural equation model results showed that abusive supervision to be associated with lower employee helping behaviors.Work engagement was higher with employees’helping behaviors.Engaged employees would unleash helping behaviors.Work engagement mediated the relationship between abusive supervision and helping behaviors,lowering the abusive supervision risk.Finally,avoidance of contact exacerbated the moderated abusive supervision–work engagement relationship for lower work engagement,while support-seeking and reframing exerted no moderation role.Findings suggest that avoiding an immediate supervisor exacerbates abusive supervision.Hence,applying behavior-based interviews when hiring supervisors would be of strategic advantage to employees’productivity.

文摘Objective:The study assessed the quality of life(QoL)and coping strategies of patients on hemodialysis in selected hospitals in Ilorin,Kwara State.Methods:The study was a descriptive cross-sectional design using a quantitative strategy.A multistage sampling technique was adopted to select 80 participants.The data were collected using an adapted questionnaire including four sections:sociodemographic characteristics,hemodialysis stressor scale consisting of four stressors,Jaloweic Coping Scale consisting of eight coping strategies,and QoL consisting of four items.The data were analyzed using SPSS version 23.Results:Findings from the study revealed that 50%of the participants were between the ages of 18 and 39 years,40%of the participants have been on hemodialysis for 1-2 years,whereas 52.5%had hypertension as a comorbidity.A total of 12.5%,63.8%,and 23.8%of the respondents were categorized as experiencing low,moderate,and high stress due to hemodialysis,respectively.QoL of the respondents revealed that 49.4%had no problem in self-care dimension.Average monthly income(χ^(2)=16.36,P=0.04)was observed to be significantly associated with coping strategies,whereas religion(χ^(2)=11.14,P=0.03)and frequency of hemodialysis(χ^(2)=10.26,P=0.04)were significantly associated with coping helpfulness.Conclusion:All participants experienced stress at varying degrees.Hemodialysis results in marked changes in the quality of patients’life,since it includes a number of modifications and restrictions,which affects patients’health functioning.This study revealed a wide range of information on the psychological and physiological stressors of people under hemodialysis.
文摘Kidney transplantation(KT)is the optimal form of renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal diseases.However,this health service is not available to all patients,especially in developing countries.The deceased donor KT programs are mostly absent,and the living donor KT centers are scarce.Single-center studies presenting experiences from developing countries usually report a variety of challenges.This review addresses these challenges and the opposing strategies by reviewing the single-center experiences of developing countries.The financial challenges hamper the infrastructural and material availability,coverage of transplant costs,and qualification of medical personnel.The sociocultural challenges influence organ donation,equity of beneficence,and regular follow-up work.Low interests and motives for transplantation may result from high medicolegal responsibilities in KT practice,intense potential psychosocial burdens,complex qualification protocols,and low productivity or compensation for KT practice.Low medical literacy about KT advantages is prevalent among clinicians,patients,and the public.The inefficient organizational and regulatory oversight is translated into inefficient healthcare systems,absent national KT programs and registries,uncoordinated job descriptions and qualification protocols,uncoordinated on-site investigations with regulatory constraints,and the prevalence of commercial KT practices.These challenges resulted in noticeable differences between KT services in developed and developing countries.The coping strategies can be summarized in two main mechanisms:The first mechanism is maximizing the available resources by increasing the rates of living kidney donation,promoting the expertise of medical personnel,reducing material consumption,and supporting the establishment and maintenance of KT programs.The latter warrants the expansion of the public sector and the elimination of non-ethical KT practices.The second mechanism is recruiting external resources,including financial,experience,and training agreements.
文摘Background: Infertility is a complex disorder with significant psycho-social and economic consequences. It globally affects 10% - 15% of couples. In Cameroon, little is known about what women do to overcome the psychosocial aspects of the disease. Objectives: This study aimed to identify the support systems and coping strategies of infertile women attending the outpatient consultation unit of the Gynaecological Endoscopic Surgery and Reproductive Teaching Hospital (CHRACERH), Yaoundé, Cameroon. Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted from the 14th of March to the 6th of April 2023 at CHRACERH Yaoundé. A total of 190 participants were recruited using a convenience sampling method. Data regarding socio-demographic characteristics, support systems and coping strategies were collected using a pretested questionnaire. Descriptive and analytic statistics were conducted using SPSS version 25. Results: The mean age of participants was 39.52 ± 7.64 years. The majority 78.9% of participants were workers (public, private sector, or traders) and were Christians 95.8%. The most common source of psychological support was from family 76.8 and husbands 72.63%. Most of the participants 89.5% resorted to prayer and getting busy 48.4% as a coping strategy. There was no statistically significant relationship between coping strategies and psychological disorders p > 0.05. Conclusion: The main support system of participants was family, husband, and friends. Prayer, getting busy and adoption were the most common coping strategies. There is a need for the Ministry of Public Health and other stakeholders to put in place other support systems and coping strategies (FELICIA) used elsewhere and provide adequate health education and infection control to prevent infertility in Cameroon.
文摘Flood disasters as Climate change hazards are common in developing countries, particularly in communities along the river Gambia. Local communities, for instance, had their local coping strategies that enabled them to stay in their communities even amid these ordeals, and climate change disaster threats. This work strives to understand flood impacts and the local peoples’ adaptation or coping strategies along the River Gambia basin. A community-based cross-sectional research study of 422 research participants of which 294 are males (69.7%) and females 128 (30.3%), and a focus group discussion of 10 groups which comprised 5 female groups and 5 male groups respectively found that 98.6% of the households experienced floods in their community, and 70.6% experienced flood in their houses, 2.1% have impending flood information and 88.4% do not know evacuation centres. The majority of the households had some local coping strategies, but they acknowledged their insufficient effectiveness. The result also shows that the impact of floods on farmlands, roads, buildings, and livestock was greatly felt. Coping strategies such as sandbags, raised elevations, contour bonds, dikes, and buildings on highlands were all found to be common mechanisms the local people used. The study opines that floods affect communities, but the effects vary depending on individual assets.
文摘Objectives:To assess the awareness and coping skills of the informal and formal caregivers of people living with dementia(PLWD).Dementia is a condition,which leads to memory loss and gradual deterioration of cognitive abilities in the affected person.The lack of awareness regarding the care of people with dementia and the caregivers'poor coping strategies can negatively impact caregivers'experiences.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted among the 80 caregivers of PLWD from the psychiatric units of the selected hospitals of Udupi district,Karnataka,India.The baseline data were collected by a self-reported sociodemographic questionnaire.The“Dementia Knowledge Assessment Scale”was used to gauge participants'awareness of the care of people with dementia,while the“Brief COPE inventory,”a 28-item questionnaire,was used to gauge carers'coping mechanisms.Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for the data analysis using Jamovi(2.3.24),a graphical user interface for R programming,and Microsoft Excel.Results:Most of the caregivers(n=68,85%)had lesser awareness regarding the care of people with dementia.The mean coping strategies score was 60.9±7.71.There was a positive correlation between the awareness and the coping strategies scores among the caregivers(r=0.659,P<0.05).Conclusions:The caregivers of people with dementia often lack awareness about dementia and hence experience poor coping due to their high workload and stress.The frontline healthcare professionals and nurses need to provide appropriate interventions to the caregivers to improve their awareness about dementia and its care.
文摘BACKGROUND Prolonged recovery following colorectal cancer(CRC)surgery can result in physiological discomfort and psychological stress,underscoring the importance of effective perioperative care to enhance patient outcomes.AIM To evaluate the impact of multidisciplinary collaborative enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)nursing on patients undergoing CRC surgery.METHODS This study included 100 patients who underwent CRC surgery between August 2022 and August 2024.Patients were divided into two groups based on the perioperative nursing approach.The control group(n=50)received conventional nursing care,whereas the observation group(n=50)received multidisciplinary collaborative ERAS nursing.Postoperative recovery time,disease perception,pain levels,coping strategies,self-management efficacy,and quality of life were compared between the two groups.RESULTS Compared with the control group,the observation group exhibited significantly shorter times to ambulation,gastrointestinal motility,first meal intake,and hospital stay(P<0.05).No significant differences were observed in pre-nursing indicators between the two groups(P>0.05).After nursing,both groups showed improvements in disease perception scores,self-management efficacy,and quality of life scores,along with reductions in pain levels and coping strategy scores,except for the confrontative and venting dimensions.The observation group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in these scores,with significant intergroup and intragroup differences(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Multidisciplinary collaborative ERAS nursing can facilitate postoperative recovery in patients with CRC,enhance disease cognition,alleviate pain,and encourage active coping,thereby improving self-management efficacy and quality of life.

文摘Objective: to analyze the influencing factors of nursing safety in blood purification, and to deal with them effectively. Methods: the patients who underwent blood purification treatment in our hospital from August 2018 to August 2019 were selected as the research objects. Patients were divided into observation group and control group. Among them, the observation group had safety problems during blood purification nursing;Patients in the control group did not have any safety problems during blood purification. Two groups of patients were treated with corresponding blood purification nursing methods, and the clinical details of patients were analyzed and summarized. The safety factors in the process of blood purification nursing were investigated in detail and the corresponding countermeasures were formulated. Results: ① After analyzing the single factor of blood purification nursing safety risk, we know that the main safety risks come from nurses, patients themselves, environmental factors, nursing quality management, nursing mode and so on. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). ② After multi-factor analysis, it can be seen that the main safety risks come from nurses, patients themselves, environmental factors, nursing factors and nursing modes. These safety risks are also the only safety risks in blood purification nursing, and the difference is statistically significant (P < 0.05). ③ There was no significant difference after scoring the psychological function, physiological function, physical pain, general health, social function, emotional reaction and mental reaction between the two groups (P > 0.05). After nursing, physiological function, physical pain and general health of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). ④ The comfort of nursing observation group was higher than that of control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: in the process of blood purification nursing for patients, there are many factors that will lead to nursing safety. In the process of treatment, we should first understand the actual problems and formulate targeted treatment methods, so as to improve the nursing safety of patients with blood purification nursing and improve the treatment effect. Therefore, it should be widely popularized in clinical nursing of blood purification.
