Previous studies have shown that undergoing such prenatal screening procedures could reduce the antenatal anxiety levels of expectant mothers. The present study aimed to explore the impact of first-trimester ultrasound scanning towards the antenatal anxiety and identify the predictors of antenatal anxiety among expectant mothers in the first trimester. Methods: A repeated measure design study was conducted in Maternity Clinics of University Hospital KDU, Ninewells Care Hospital and Navy General Hospital over 4 months with one hundred and fifteen (n = 115) expectant mothers. Participants completed a general information sheet first and State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) (Spielberger et al., 1970) was administered before and after undergoing the USS. Results: Mean age of the participants was 28.84 ± 3.68. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank test showed that there is a significant reduction of participants’ antenatal anxiety levels following the USS z = −5.658, p Conclusions: Findings suggest that undergoing the first trimester USS significantly reduces the antenatal state anxiety and partner’s support is an important factor in reducing the antenatal anxiety experienced by expectant mothers in the first trimester. Future studies can focus on how USS can contribute to alleviating antenatal anxiety in second and third trimesters.展开更多

Methods: 110 patients with stroke complicated with anxiety admitted to Qingdao Jimo District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from September 2020 to January 2022 were randomly divided into control group and experimental group. The control group received routine nursing, and the experimental group received cognitive behavioral therapy combined with psychological intervention. Anxiety (HAMA), sleep quality (PSQI), quality of life (SGRQ) and self-efficacy (GSES) were compared before and after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. Results: HAMA, PSQI, SGRQ and GSES scores before intervention (P > 0.05);After 4 weeks and 8 weeks of treatment, HAMA, PSQI, activity limitation, respiratory symptoms, disease influence and SGRQ total score in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). GSES score was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: cognitive behavioral therapy combined with psychological intervention is effective in treating stroke complicated with anxiety, which can significantly reduce anxiety, improve sleep quality, improve life quality and self-efficacy.展开更多

Furthermore there are no treatments for the psychosocial effects of this pathology. Purpose: Analyse the effect of an aquatic exercise program in depression and trace and state anxiety in subjects who suffered an ischemic stroke. Methods: Two groups were analyzed: experimental group (EG) n = 15, 50.3 ± 9.1 years;control group (CG) n = 13, 52.5 ± 7.7 years. EG underwent a 12-week aquatic exercise program. Both groups were evaluated in pre and post- treatment using Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Trace State Anxiety Inventory (IDATE). Wilcoxon signed-rank and Mann-Whitney tests were used to compare moments and groups, respec- tively. Results: The BDI scores of aquatic activities were: pre-treatment, 17.4 ± 7.7 and 16.9 ± 8.6 for the EG and CG, respectively;post-treat- ment, 13.2 + 7.1 and 16.4 + 7.9 for the EG and CG, respectively. The IDATE scores for anxiety trace in strength training were: pre-treatment, 43.2 + 12.5 and 42.9 + 12.2 for the EG and CG, respec- tively;post-treatment, 39.7 + 7.1 and 42.6 + 12.1 for the EG and CG, respectively. The IDATE scores for anxiety state in strength training were: pre-treatment, 46.9 + 7.6 and 47.4 + 8.1 for the EG and CG, respectively;post-treatment, 44.4 + 7.9 and 47.5 + 8.0 for the EG and CG, respectively. Significant differences were found in pre and post-treatment values in the EG and between groups in the depression and trace and state anxiety levels in post-treatment (p Conclusions: Aquatic physical activity contributes to an improvement of the levels of depression and anxiety in people who suffered a stroke.展开更多

Methods: during the research period, retrospective analysis was used to compare and analyze the basic data of 60 tumor patients, focusing on demographic characteristics, attention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases, and depression score. Results: during the course of this research, the anxiety scores of 60 tumor patients were all around 52 points. From the discussion of the related influencing factors, we can understand that the hospitalization of urban residents in the adverse external environment will cause serious impact on life and delay of tumor diagnosis and treatment, and even cause the situation of stopping the diagnosis and treatment of tumor patients. These factors are the main factors causing the anxiety of tumor patients. Conclusion: under the influence of special environment, the anxiety symptoms of tumor patients are obvious, especially for some malignant tumor patients who have seriously affected the daily life of the patients, the tumor treatment is likely to be delayed or stopped. In addition, the degree of anxiety of patients living in cities is also obvious. In the process of clinical nursing intervention for these patients, the hospital can provide targeted intervention programs, which can effectively reduce the anxiety of patients.展开更多

The effects of treatment on anxiety state and T-lymphocyte subsets as well as its impact on some CHB-related indices were observed and compared.Results：The anxiety state of CHB patients was negatively correlated with CD4~＋ and CD4~＋/CD8~＋;the level of CD4~＋ in patients with anxiety was significantly lower than that in non-anxiety patients（P0.01 or P0.05）.After treatment,anxiety state in the observation group was significantly improved, with their HAMA scores significantly lowered（P0.01）,and the levels of CD4~＋ and CD4~＋/CD8~＋ were significantly higher than those in the control group（P0.05 or P0.01）.Moreover,the alanine transaminase recovery rate and the HBV-DNA-negative conversion rate in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group,respectively（P0.05）.Conclusions：The anxiety state of CHB patients was related to CD4~＋ and CD4~＋/CD8~＋ levels.CM treatment could improve the anxiety state and showed certain regulatory effect on the patients＇ immune system.
文摘BACKGROUND Alterations in health-related quality of life(HRQoL)and neuropsychological disorders were described in the hepatitis C virus(HCV)patients.Although several studies investigated the modifications of HRQoL after HCV eradication,no data exists on the modifications of neuropsychological symptoms.AIM To investigate the effect of directly acting antivirals(DAAs)treatment on HRQoL and neuropsychological symptoms.METHODS Thirty nine patients with HCV infection underwent a neuropsychological assessment,including Zung-Self Depression-Rating-Scale,Spielberg State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Y1-Y2 and the Toronto-Alexithymia Scale-20 items before and after DAAs treatment.HRQoL was detected by Short-Form-36(SF-36).RESULTS All HRQoL domains,but role limitation physical and bodily pain,significantly improved after treatment.Interestingly,after DAAs treatment,all domains of HRQoL returned similar to those of controls.Each neuropsychological test significantly improved after HCV eradication.A significant correlation was observed among each psychological test and the summary components of SF-36.At multiple linear regression analysis including each psychological test as possible covariates,Zung-Self Depression Rating Scale(Zung-SDS)score was independently and significantly related to summary components of the SF-36 in the basal state and the difference between Zung-SDS score before and after treatment was the only variable significantly and independently related to the modification of HRQoL induced by the treatment.CONCLUSION Neuropsychological symptoms strongly influenced HRQoL in HCV patients and there was a significant improvement of neuropsychological tests and HRQoL after DAAs treatment.
文摘Objective: this topic mainly focuses on the anxiety symptoms of tumor patients in hospital and the related influencing factors. Methods: during the research period, retrospective analysis was used to compare and analyze the basic data of 60 tumor patients, focusing on demographic characteristics, attention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases, and depression score. Results: during the course of this research, the anxiety scores of 60 tumor patients were all around 52 points. From the discussion of the related influencing factors, we can understand that the hospitalization of urban residents in the adverse external environment will cause serious impact on life and delay of tumor diagnosis and treatment, and even cause the situation of stopping the diagnosis and treatment of tumor patients. These factors are the main factors causing the anxiety of tumor patients. Conclusion: under the influence of special environment, the anxiety symptoms of tumor patients are obvious, especially for some malignant tumor patients who have seriously affected the daily life of the patients, the tumor treatment is likely to be delayed or stopped. In addition, the degree of anxiety of patients living in cities is also obvious. In the process of clinical nursing intervention for these patients, the hospital can provide targeted intervention programs, which can effectively reduce the anxiety of patients.
文摘Objective:To assess the efficacy and safety of Guanxin Danshen Dripping Pills(GXDS)in the treatment of depression or anxiety in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods:From September 2017 to June 2019,200 CHD patients after PCI with depression and anxiety were included and randomly divided into GXDS(100 cases)and placebo control groups(100 cases)by block randomization and a random number table.Patients in the GXDS and control groups were given GXDS and placebo,respectively,0.4 g each time,3 times daily for 12 weeks.The primary outcomes were scores of Patient Health Questionnaire-9(PHQ-9),Generalized Anxiety Scale(GAD-7)and the Seattle Angina Pectoris Scale(SAQ).The secondary outcomes included 12 Health Survey Summary Form(SF-12)scores and the first onset time and incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACEs).Other indices including blood pressure,blood lipids,microcirculation and inflammatory-related indices,etc.were monitored at baseline,week 4,and week 12.Results:In the full analysis set(200 cases),after treatment,the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores in the GXDS group were considerably lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).Compared with the baseline,the total PHQ-9 scores of the experimental and control groups decreased by 3.97 and 1.18,respectively.The corrected mean difference between the two groups was–2.78(95%CI:–3.47,–2.10;P<0.001).The total GAD-7 score in the GXDS group decreased by 3.48%compared with the baseline level,while that of the placebo group decreased by 1.13%.The corrected mean difference between the two groups was–2.35(95%CI:–2.95,–1.76;P<0.001).The degree of improvement in SAQ score,SF-12 score,endothelin and high-sensitive C-reactive protein levels in the GXDS group were substantially superior than those in the placebo group,and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).Similar results were obtained in the per protocol population analysis of 177 patients.Three cases of MACES were reported in this study(1 in the GXDS group and 2 in the placebo group),and no serious adverse events occurred.Conclusions:GXDS can significantly alleviate depression and anxiety,relieve symptoms of angina,and improve quality of life in patients with CHD after PCI.(Registration No.ChiCTR1800014291)
