Objective
To assess the incidence and influential factors of anxiety and depressive symptoms among patients admitted to different models of ambulatory gynecologic hysteroscopic surgery and to explore the effects of centralized and decentralized admission models on their anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Methods
This retrospective study recruited 8212 participants who underwent ambulatory gynecologic hysteroscopic surgery at West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, between January 2021 and January 2023. According to the different models of admission, the participants were divided into centralized and decentralized admission groups. The General Information Questionnaire and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were used to assess the participants’ sociodemographic information and anxiety and depressive symptoms, respectively. A chi-square test was used to compare the prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms among participants in different groups. Subsequently, univariate and multivariate binary logistic regressions were used to explore the factors influencing participants’ anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Results
The prevalence of anxiety symptoms was 12.6% and 6.2% in the centrally and decentrally admitted participants, respectively, and that of depressive symptoms was 10.8% and 4.0%, respectively. Being centrally admitted and diagnosed with intrauterine adhesions were risk factors for anxiety and depressive symptoms. Old age was a protective factor against anxiety and depressive symptoms. Moreover, being married was a protective factor against anxiety symptoms, and a higher level of education was a protective factor against depressive symptoms.
Conclusion
The centrally admitted participants were more likely to have anxiety and depressive symptoms than those admitted decentrally. The medical staff should provide rational health education, effective preoperative assessment, and targeted health care to minimize psychological stress in patients undergoing day surgery, especially for the centrally admitted patients.

Background
An avoidable birth injury that has serious social and emotional repercussions is an obstetric fistula (OF). Although it has been eradicated in high-income nations, it is still common in low- and middle-income areas, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. With an emphasis on the impact of socioeconomic factors and emotional distress in particular hospitals, this study investigates the social and emotional well-being of women with OF in South-West Nigeria.
Methods
A descriptive cross-sectional design was used, with data collected through a structured questionnaire. The study targeted women aged 15–49 who received OF treatment at Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesa, and University College Hospital, Ibadan. A purposive sample of 120 participants was selected. Data were collected over six months (24th January – July 23, 2023) and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results
Among respondents, 41.7% reported low well-being, 40.8% high well-being, and 17.5% moderate well-being. Chi-square tests showed significant associations between marital status (χ2 = 11.02, P = 0.02), religion (χ2 = 17.11, P = 0.01), and place of residence (χ2 = 7.26, P = 0.02) with well-being, while age, ethnicity, education, occupation, and parity had no significant influence.
Conclusions
The social and emotional health of women with OF is greatly impacted by their marital status, place of residence, and religious affiliation. This study highlight the significance of community-based efforts to reduce stigma, context-specific psychological interventions, and improved access to healthcare services. In order to help impacted women recover and reintegrate into society, nursing practice must incorporate these sociodemographic factors into thorough, patient-centered care plans that holistically address the psychosocial difficulties they face.
产科瘘是一种可避免的分娩损伤,具有严重的社会和情感影响。尽管它在高收入国家已经被根除,但在低收入和中等收入地区,特别是在撒哈拉以南非洲,它仍然很常见。本研究着重于特定医院的社会经济因素和情绪困扰的影响,调查了尼日利亚西南部of妇女的社会和情感福祉。方法采用描述性横断面设计,通过结构化问卷收集数据。该研究的对象是在伊莱萨卫斯理公会医院和伊巴丹大学学院医院接受OF治疗的15-49岁的妇女。有目的的120名参与者被选中。在六个月内(2023年1月24日至7月23日)收集数据,并使用描述性和推断性统计进行分析。结果41.7%的受访者幸福感低,40.8%的受访者幸福感高,17.5%的受访者幸福感中等。卡方检验显示,婚姻状况(χ2 = 11.02, P = 0.02)、宗教信仰(χ2 = 17.11, P = 0.01)和居住地(χ2 = 7.26, P = 0.02)与幸福感有显著相关,年龄、种族、教育程度、职业和性别对幸福感无显著影响。结论of妇女的社会和情感健康受婚姻状况、居住地和宗教信仰的影响较大。这项研究强调了以社区为基础的努力的重要性,以减少耻辱,具体情况的心理干预,并改善获得医疗保健服务的机会。为了帮助受影响的妇女康复并重新融入社会,护理实践必须将这些社会人口因素纳入彻底的、以患者为中心的护理计划中,全面解决她们面临的社会心理困难。

Background
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a challenging public health condition with significant impacts on the wellbeing and quality of life of adolescents. This study uses Betty Ferrel's Quality of Life Model (1996) to investigate Parents' perspectives on the quality of life of adolescents living with ASD. The study focuses on three main constructs: physical wellbeing, social wellbeing, and support systems. The study explores the challenges faced by children with ASD through parental perspectives and offers insights into coping mechanisms.
Methodology
An exploratory descriptive qualitative design was employed to investigate the physical, and social wellbeing of adolescents with ASD. Thirteen participants from the Accra Metropolis were interviewed using a semi-structured guide, with participants’ consent. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, coded, and analyzed using thematic content analysis. Three major themes and 11 subthemes were identified.
Results
A thematic content analysis identified three main themes and eleven sub-themes. The findings revealed that adolescents with autism experienced varying degrees of quality of life across different domains: physical wellbeing, social wellbeing, and support systems. Adolescents with autism exhibited low physical wellbeing, marked by significant dependency and co-existing conditions, and an inability to perform basic life functions independently. Despite poor oral communication skills, they maintained good social wellbeing with cordial relationships. A notable absence of support systems was identified. Additionally, Muslim respondents were absent due to cultural practices, highlighting a need for future research in this area.
Conclusion
The study highlights the multifaceted challenges faced by adolescents with autism, particularly in physical wellbeing, while also noting their capacity for social engagement. The absence of Muslim participants underscores the need for culturally sensitive research to address gaps in understanding. Public education and sensitization about ASD are imperative. Moreover, governmental and non-governmental organizations should establish training and educational support systems for autistic adolescents to enhance their quality of life. Findings revealed barriers to education, social integration, and access to healthcare.

Purpose
This study aimed to analyze the existing research on ovarian cancer in the context of multidisciplinary care and identify the contemporary debates.
Methods
We used CiteSpace to generate visual collaborative networks and summarize the external characteristics of publications from the Web of Science Core Collection database published between January 1, 2000, and December 5, 2023.
Results
In total, 1261 publications were identified, originating from 284 institutions across 80 countries, published in 113 journals, and authored by 235 researchers. The United States and Gynecologic Oncology had the highest number of publications on this topic. The research was categorized into six major clusters: quality of life, surgery, paclitaxel, ovarian cancer, nurses’ health, and prophylactic oophorectomy. The main hotspots included society, validation, experiences, guidelines, quality of life, breast, association, and uterine cancer.
Conclusions
Research on ovarian cancer care has rapidly expanded to encompass multidisciplinary care. However, international and institutional collaboration remains limited. This study provides researchers with valuable insights into the current landscape, collaborative networks, and major research hotspots in ovarian cancer care. Additionally, the psychological experiences of patients with ovarian cancer and interdisciplinary nursing interventions are promising areas for future research and development.

Objective
Maintaining a balanced diet throughout pregnancy is difficult for many pregnant women, despite the fact that appropriate nutrition is crucial for the health of both the mother and child. A wide variety of foods is essential to meet the increased nutritional demands during this key period. To shed light on the factors influencing pregnant women's food choices, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of dietary practices and their determinants among pregnant women in Jigjiga, Somali Region, Ethiopia.
Methods
A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from June 1 to July 30, 2023. Pregnant women were selected using multistage sampling. Data were collected via face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire. Dietary diversity was assessed using a 24-h recall covering 10 food groups. Data were entered into EpiData version 7 and analyzed with SPSS version 26. Binary and multivariable logistic regression identified factors associated with dietary diversity, with odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05.
Result
This study revealed that 178 (44.7%) pregnant women had good dietary diversity practices, and 220 (55.3%) had poor dietary diversity practices. High school diploma and above (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] = 6.74, 95% CI = 2.12, 21.37), monthly income of ≥3000 EB (AOR = 2.46, 95% CI = 1.17, 5.16), two or more visits during antenatal care (ANC) follow-up (AOR = 15.29, 95% CI = 6.26, 37.3), and food-secured households (AOR = 2.893, 95% CI = 1.58, 5.29) during pregnancy were factors positively associated with good dietary diversity practices among study areas.
Conclusion
Poor dietary diversity was common among pregnant women in Jigjiga. Key determinants included low education, low income, limited ANC visits, and household food insecurity. Health providers should counsel pregnant women to improve meal frequency and dietary diversity during ANC visits.
目的对许多孕妇来说,在整个怀孕期间保持均衡的饮食是困难的,尽管适当的营养对母亲和孩子的健康都至关重要。在这一关键时期,各种各样的食物对于满足日益增长的营养需求至关重要。为了揭示影响孕妇食物选择的因素,本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚索马里地区吉吉加孕妇饮食习惯的流行程度及其决定因素。方法于2023年6月1日至7月30日进行社区横断面研究。采用多阶段抽样方法选取孕妇。数据通过面对面访谈收集,采用结构化问卷。采用涵盖10个食物组的24小时召回法评估饮食多样性。数据录入EpiData version 7,用SPSS version 26进行分析。二元和多变量logistic回归通过比值比(OR)和95%置信区间(CI)确定了与饮食多样性相关的因素。P <; 0.05为统计学意义。结果178例(44.7%)孕妇饮食多样性良好,220例(55.3%)孕妇饮食多样性不佳。高中及以上学历(调整优势比[AOR] = 6.74, 95% CI = 2.12, 21.37)、月收入≥3000 EB (AOR = 2.46, 95% CI = 1.17, 5.16)、孕期两次或两次以上产前保健(ANC)随访(AOR = 15.29, 95% CI = 6.26, 37.3)和有食物保障的家庭(AOR = 2.893, 95% CI = 1.58, 5.29)是研究地区良好饮食多样性实践的正相关因素。结论吉吉加孕妇膳食多样性较差。主要决定因素包括教育程度低、收入低、ANC访问有限以及家庭粮食不安全。卫生保健提供者应建议孕妇在产前检查期间改善用餐频率和饮食多样性。

Heart rate variability (HRV) may provide feedback to post-partum women regarding need for recovery. We explored the associations between daily supine resting HRV and perceived stress and sleep quality using repeated measures correlation (rrm) between paired outcomes across two weeks. Repeated measures correlation between HRV and sleep quality, and between HRV and perceived stress were not significant. There was a significant correlation between sleep quality and stress across the two weeks, rrm(297) = −0.412, 95% CI (−0.502, −0.313), P < 0.0001. Additional studies in this population are warranted to determine feasibility of using HRV to indicate sleep quality and stress.
心率变异性(HRV)可以为产后妇女提供关于恢复需要的反馈。我们利用两周内成对结果之间的重复测量相关性(rrm)来探索每日仰卧休息HRV与感知压力和睡眠质量之间的关系。重复测量HRV与睡眠质量、HRV与感知压力之间的相关性不显著。两周内,睡眠质量与压力之间存在显著相关性,rrm(297) = - 0.412, 95% CI (- 0.502, - 0.313), P <;0.0001。有必要在这一人群中进行进一步的研究,以确定使用心率变异来指示睡眠质量和压力的可行性。
