Background: The co-occurrence of rheumatoid arthritis and depression typically exacerbates pain and leads to a range of adverse consequences, becoming a research hotspot in recent years. This study conducted the systematic retrieval of relevant articles within the past five years and employed bibliometric methods for scientometric analysis. Methods: Setting the keywords “Rheumatoid arthritis”, “Depression” and “Depressive Disorder”, relevant literature published between 2019 and 2023 was retrieved from the Web of Science database. Subsequently, the core information from the literature was subjected to visual analysis via CiteSpace software and bibliometric techniques. Results: A total of 974 articles related to rheumatoid arthritis and depression were identified through the search strategy, and 877 articles were retained for further analysis after duplicates. The United States (n=173), England (n=82), China (n=69), Canada (n=68), and Germany (n=54) ranked top five countries by publication count. The King’s College London was the leading institution with the highest number of publications (n = 20). LANCET PSYCHIATRY was the most frequently cited journal (n = 72) despite having only one article. The top five authors with the largest number of publications include CHARLES N BERNSTEIN (n=14), RUTH ANN MARRIE (n=13), JOHN D FISK (n=12), CAROL A HITCHON (n=12) and SCOTT B PATTEN (n=12), and all these are based in Canada. The keywords with a centrality score exceeding 0.1 were depression, rheumatoid arthritis, symptom, quality of life, impact, fibromyalgia, disease activity, prevalence, inflammation, health, anxiety, pain, fatigue, disease, arthritis and disability. Conclusion: Related research between the co-occurrence of rheumatoid arthritis and depression was a persistent hotspot, but it still lacks of international collaboration and in-depth mechanistic exploration.

Introduction: Older people mostly found unable to adhere with warfarin treatment guidelines. The health service system is challenged in order to improve medication adherence in older population under limited health resources. The purpose of this study was to explore health systems factors on warfarin adherence in older population, particularly in resources constraint setting. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional predictive study that enrolled older people who experienced atrial fibrillation (AF) and treated by warfarin, aged 60 years and over, and followed up at the warfarin clinic. Results: A total of 197 participants with the mean age of 72.03 years (SD = 8.84) was recruited. Almost of them (85.8%) reported adhered to warfarin prescription. More than a half (60.5%) were able to report their targeted INR. Participants who stayed with the family had 5.54 times (95% CI 1.79– 19.33), took regular daily dose warfarin had 5.07 times (95% CI 1.05– 24.49), perceived targeted INR had 2.94 times (95% CI 1.04– 8.29), and received family support had 1.33 times (95% CI 1.11– 1.60) increased odds of warfarin adherence than those who did not. Participants who perceived a barrier to taking medication had 0.93 times decreased odds of warfarin adherence than those who did not (95% CI 0.86– 0.99). Conclusion: Healthcare system should encourage family to support the older population with AF in order to increase warfarin adherence. Future research should develop intervention combining family support to promote warfarin adherence.
简介老年人大多无法遵守华法林治疗指南。在医疗资源有限的情况下,如何提高老年人的用药依从性对医疗服务系统提出了挑战。本研究旨在探讨卫生系统对老年人群华法林用药依从性的影响因素,尤其是在资源有限的情况下:本研究是一项横断面预测性研究,研究对象为60岁及以上接受华法林治疗的心房颤动(房颤)老年人,并在华法林门诊进行随访:共招募了 197 名参与者,平均年龄为 72.03 岁(SD = 8.84)。几乎所有参与者(85.8%)都表示遵守了华法林处方。半数以上(60.5%)的参与者能够报告其目标 INR。与家人住在一起的参与者的华法林依从性是不与家人住在一起的参与者的 5.54 倍(95% CI 1.79-19.33),每天按时服用华法林的参与者的依从性是不与家人住在一起的参与者的 5.07 倍(95% CI 1.05-24.49),认为自己的目标 INR 是不与家人住在一起的参与者的 2.94 倍(95% CI 1.04-8.29),获得家人支持的参与者的依从性是不与家人住在一起的参与者的 1.33 倍(95% CI 1.11-1.60)。认为服药有障碍的参与者坚持服用华法林的几率比没有障碍的参与者降低了 0.93 倍(95% CI 0.86-0.99):医疗系统应鼓励家人支持老年房颤患者,以提高华法林的依从性。未来的研究应开发与家庭支持相结合的干预措施,以促进华法林的依从性。关键词:依从性;心房颤动;INR;老年人群;华法林

<strong>Background:</strong> The “Key Points of the Core System of Medical Quality and Safety” (hereinafter referred to as the “Key Points”) was promulgated by the National Health Commission of China in 2018, requiring that nursing ward rounds should be carried out with reference to the three-level ward round system; In 2020 and 2022 editions of the “Evaluation Standards for Tertiary Hospitals”, which were implemented in China, required that nursing ward rounds should be carried out with reference to the “Key Points”. Additionally, the Action Plan for Comprehensively Improving Medical Quality (2023– 2025) also mentions the need to improve the quality of three-level ward rounds. However, there are no detailed guidelines regarding implementing “Nursing Three-level Ward Rounds”.<br/><strong>Purpose:</strong> This study aimed to investigate the current situation of nursing three-level ward rounds in tertiary hospitals after the promulgation of the “Key Points of the Core System of Medical Quality and Safety” to provide insights and guidelines regarding relevant standards, so as to better implement of the requirements of “nursing ward rounds” in the “Evaluation Standards for Tertiary Hospitals” and “improving the quality of three-level ward rounds” in the “Action Plan”.<br/><strong>Methods:</strong> A multi-center study was conducted in February 2024, including all tertiary public hospitals in the Shanxi Province, China. A questionnaire survey using the self-designed “<u>Questionnaire on the Implementation of Nursing Three-level Ward Rounds</u>” was carried out. The questionnaire included the basic information of the hospital and the implementation of the three-level (namely I, II, and III) rounds (including “five aspects”: ward round personnel, object, content, frequency, and record), which is expressed by quantity and composition ratio. Next is the text analysis method. First, the “five aspects” of the hospital that filled in the questionnaire survey with “nursing three-level ward rounds have been carried out” were assessed. Second, the five aspects of each hospital were assessed for consistency with the “Nursing Three-level Ward Rounds System” (hereinafter referred to as the “System”) of their respective hospitals.Third, the consistency of the “System” of the hospital with the “Key Points” was assessed. The results of the analysis of the former are expressed in terms of quantity and composition ratio; the results of the latter two were analyzed using Fisher’s exact test method to compare any differences.<br/><strong>Results:</strong> Notably, 14 of the 67 tertiary public hospitals (20.9%) carried out nursing three-level ward rounds. There were 4– 10 situations in the five aspects of I, II, and III ward rounds filled in by the hospitals. The five aspects of the I, II, III ward rounds in 14 hospitals were significantly comparable with the “System”, which, in turn, was comparable with the “Key Points” (P < 0.05).<br/><strong>Conclusion:</strong> No

Abstract: Deep Learning (DL) drives academics to create models for cancer diagnosis using medical image processing because of its innate ability to recognize difficult-to-detect patterns in complex, noisy, and massive data. The use of deep learning algorithms for real-time cancer diagnosis is explored in depth in this work. Real-time medical diagnosis determines the illness or condition that accounts for a patient’s symptoms and outward physical manifestations within a predetermined time frame. With a waiting period of anywhere between 5 days and 30 days, there are currently several ways, including screening tests, biopsies, and other prospective methods, that can assist in discovering a problem, particularly cancer. This article conducts a thorough literature review to understand how DL affects the length of this waiting period. In addition, the accuracy and turnaround time of different imaging modalities is evaluated with DL-based cancer diagnosis. Convolutional neural networks are critical for real-time cancer diagnosis, with models achieving up to 99.3% accuracy. The effectiveness and cost of the infrastructure required for real-time image-based medical diagnostics are evaluated. According to the report, generalization problems, data variability, and explainable DL are some of the most significant barriers to using DL in clinical trials. Making DL applicable for cancer diagnosis will be made possible by explainable DL.

Background: In the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), it is vital to meticulously monitor symptoms and thoroughly understand the treatment objectives for critically ill patients. This highlights the necessity of integrating palliative care in this environment. Despite the potential advantages, several barriers impede the effective integration of palliative care in the ICU. Notably, many healthcare professionals (HCPs) in Indonesian ICUs have not fully leveraged the incorporation of palliative care. Purpose: This study aimed to investigate and clarify the experiences of healthcare providers (HCPs) involved in administering palliative care to ICU patients in Indonesia. Methods: This research employed a qualitative descriptive phenomenological approach. Semi-structured, in-depth individual interviews were conducted with four nurses and three doctors working in an Indonesian hospital. Colaizzi’s method was used for data analysis. Results: The analysis identified six themes from the interviews, reflecting the experiences of healthcare professionals in delivering palliative care in the ICU. These themes are: 1) Provide Professional Caring, 2) Caring and curing collaboration, 3) Quality Intensive Communication, 4) End-of-Life Care, 5) Controlling Feelings, and 6) Provide Holistic Caring. Conclusion: Providing care for ICU patients demands not only the expertise of HCPs but also compassion, communication skills, and a holistic approach to patient care. By offering comprehensive palliative care in the ICU, healthcare professionals can address the diverse needs of patients and their families, promoting comfort, respect, and an improved quality of life throughout the illness. This inclusive approach enhances the experience for both patients and their families while supporting healthcare providers in delivering empathetic and patient-centered care. It is recommended that hospitals develop policies to enhance palliative care services in Indonesia.

Purpose: To investigate and analyse the status quo of the self-management of patients living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and its influencing factors and to provide the basis for formulating intervention strategies. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 300 PLWHA who visited the Infection Center of Beijing Youan Hospital, Capital Medical University between September 2021 and December 2021 were enrolled using the convenience sampling method. Demographic characteristics and disease-related data were collected for each participant. The HIV/AIDS Self-Management Scale was used to evaluate the self-management ability of PLWHA. Results: A total of 251 male and 49 female PLWHA were included in this study, with an average age of 39.08 ± 12.09 years and an average disease duration of 9.61 ± 37.04 months. Univariate analysis showed that the PLWHA’s place of residence, educational level, physical condition, family relations, duration of HIV disease, receipt or not of antiviral therapy and knowledge of disease had an influence on the scores of the HIV Self-Management Scale (all p < 0.05). The results of the self-management scores indicated that the total score for self-management was 41.5 ± 6.4 points, with a scoring rate of 69.6%, which was at a medium level. Long-term self-management had the highest scoring rate (12.2 ± 2.5 points), followed by daily health management (22.3 ± 4.3 points), and social support for self-management had the lowest scoring (5.1 ± 0.9 points). Multivariable analysis showed that the self-management ability of PLWHA was related to educational level, duration of disease and family relations (R2 = 0.67, F = 121.7, p < 0.05). Conclusion: The self-management level of patients with AIDS, especially the social support of daily health management and self-management, needs to be further improved. Educational level, duration of disease and family relations are important factors influencing the self-management of PLWHA.

Univariate analysis showed that the PLWHA’s place of residence, educational level, physical condition, family relations, duration of HIV disease, receipt or not of antiviral therapy and knowledge of disease had an influence on the scores of the HIV Self-Management Scale (all <em>p</em> < 0.05). The results of the self-management scores indicated that the total score for self-management was 41.5 ± 6.4 points, with a scoring rate of 69.6%, which was at a medium level. Long-term self-management had the highest scoring rate (12.2 ± 2.5 points), followed by daily health management (22.3 ± 4.3 points), and social support for self-management had the lowest scoring (5.1 ± 0.9 points). Multivariable analysis showed that the self-management ability of PLWHA was related to educational level, duration of disease and family relations (<em>R<sup>2</sup></em> = 0.67, <em>F</em> = 121.7, <em>p</em> < 0.05).<br/><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The self-management level of patients with AIDS, especially the social support of daily health management and self-management, needs to be further improved. Educational level, duration of disease and family relations are important factors influencing the self-management of PLWHA.<br/><br/><strong>Keywords:</strong> HIV/AIDS, AIDS, self-management<br/>","PeriodicalId":16357,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare","volume":"102 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142207114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background: This study aims to investigate the relationship between older adults’ perceived community services for the elderly (PCSE), life satisfaction (LS), and self-rated health (SRH). Methods: Data from four rounds of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) from 2008 to 2018 were used. A total of 2454 older adults were obtained. Unconditional Least Squares (ULS) was used to measure PCSE, LS, and SRH growth trajectories without covariates. Finally, a mediating latent growth model was constructed using Mplus 8.3 to examine the mediating role of LS in the relationship between PCSE and SRH after adjusting for some demographic characteristics. Results: The results from the ULS method indicate that the intercepts and slopes for PCSE and LS are significantly negatively correlated (β1 = − 0.629, β2 = − 0.579, p < 0.001). Additionally, there is a significant positive correlation between the intercept and slope of health levels (β = 0.774, p < 0.001). Using a parallel growth model, significant regression coefficients were found between the intercept of PCSE and the intercepts of SRH and LS (β1 = − 0.335, β2 = 0.378, p < 0.01). Similarly, the regression coefficients between the slope of PCSE and the slopes of SRH and LS were also significant (β1 = − 0.532, β2 = 0.344, p < 0.01). Furthermore, the regression coefficient between the intercept of LS and the intercept of SRH was significant (β = 0.415, p < 0.001). The regression coefficient between the slope of LS and the slope of SRH was also found to be significant (β = 0.729, p < 0.001). Conclusion: It is essential to ensure adequate supply and accessibility of community services for older adults. LS especially is, and should be a promising target for assessing the quality of life and utilization of PCSE supply.

Purpose: Healthcare professionals’ participation is crucial for the efficient implementation of multidisciplinary team (MDT) collaboration models. We identified the key factors influencing healthcare professionals’ preference to participate in MDTs in tertiary hospitals. Methods: To clarify the attributes and levels of the discrete choice experiment (DCE), we conducted a targeted literature review and conducted in-depth interviews with MDT service providers. Following this, a DCE was designed to evaluate healthcare professionals’ preferences for MDT participation, and the influence of factors such as salary subsidies, leadership attention, patient participation, quality assessment, working intensity, and case complexity. A conditional logit model estimated the utility of each attribute. Willingness-to-pay estimates were derived by taking the negative ratio of the coefficients of non-economic and economic attributes. A series of policy simulation analyses were conducted. Results: Two hundred healthcare professionals completed the questionnaire, with 180 valid responses used for analysis. All attributes were statistically significant. Leadership attention and working intensity were the primary factors influencing staff willingness to participate in MDTs, followed by quality assessment and salary subsidies. Significant preference differences were observed between respondents; compared with mid-level staff, senior-level healthcare professionals believed patient engagement would be more helpful in boosting participation. The policy simulation showed that changing leadership attention from “neglect” to “emphasis” would increase the probability of staff choosing to participate in MDTs from 24.4% to 66.98%. Conclusion: Leadership attention was the primary concern for healthcare professionals in MDTs. To effectively motivate staff participation in MDTs, policymakers should adopt a holistic approach that considers work motivation and individual backgrounds, including competitive salary packages and a positive work environment. They should concurrently introduce MDT case complexity measurement tools to optimize resource allocation. Addressing staff members’ unique needs and career aspirations by creating targeted training programs, pathways for advancement, and personalized career development plans are also crucial.
