Objective
Self-esteem is an intrinsic psychological domain to recovery following an acute coronary event. However, little research has explored gender differences in self-esteem in the recovery of cardiac patients. The current investigation sought to determine if gender differences in self-esteem were present in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients following hospitalization.
Design
A mixed-group design was used with gender and observation point (within one week of onset of ACS and at six month follow-up) as independent variables.
Setting
Patients were recruited from one general university teaching hospital in Hong Kong, with a confirmed diagnosis of myocardial infarction or unstable angina.
Main outcome measure
The 10-item Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES; [Society and the Adolescent Self-image, Princeton University Press, Princeton, New Jersey, 1965]).
Results
Analysis of covariance revealed a highly significant effect on RSES scores with male patients having greater RSES-rated self-esteem compared to females. No significant improvement in RSES scores were observed at six month follow-up.
Conclusions
Health professionals need to be aware that gender is an important factor in the self-esteem needs of this clinical group. Given the importance of self-esteem to cardiac rehabilitation practice, the finding of no improvement in self-esteem at follow-up highlights the need to assess this important psychological domain.

Objectives
The paper uses qualitative and quantitative data arising from a longitudinal study of pregnant women to examine women’s responses to advice provided about changing their behaviour during pregnancy.
Design
A longitudinal study over nine months involving a semi-structured questionnaire and interview schedule together with a range of psychological measures and activity measurement using actimetry. The purpose of the main study was to explore maternal daily activity in low-risk pregnancy.
Participants
57 women volunteers aged (mean age 26.3 years) with low-risk pregnancy, recruited via an East Midlands City Centre teaching hospital antenatal clinic.
Results
Data on advice suggest that 1) response to advice is extremely varied and that reduction in activity is not always welcome; 2) factors affecting women’s responses to advice include the importance they attach to an active lifestyle in pregnancy.
Conclusions
The paper highlights the inherent difficulties of providing effective advice during the short period of pregnancy; the need for clear and consistent messages to be provided by all health professionals involved in antenatal care as well as the difficulty of changing cultural expectations of pregnancy-appropriate behaviours.

Objective:
This article describes the initial development and testing of an educational needs assessment tool for patients with arthritis in the UK.
Design:
Following formative development of the tool, the study took the form of a test–retest questionnaire study. Participants were asked to complete the tool on two occasions, separated by two weeks, to assess reliability.
Setting:
Subjects were recruited from the out-patient department of a district general hospital in the north of England.
Participants:
The sample consisted of 97 patients with arthritis recruited consecutively from a rheumatology out-patient department.
Main outcome measures:
Scores from the questionnaire were the main outcome measure used. Additional variables included gender, age, educational level, and duration of disease.
Results:
The tool was well received by patients. Higher scores, indicating greater educational needs, were recorded by women, older people, those with lower levels of education, and those with shorter disease duration. The greatest educational needs were in the domain of information about arthritis itself. The tool demonstrated good test–retest reliability.
Conclusion:
The tool showed some validity and reliability, and was acceptable to patients. Further development work is needed if the tool is to be used in interventional studies.

Objectives:
The two main aims of this pilot study was to (1) develop a self-help manual (facilitated by a therapist) for people with obsessive–compulsive disorder and (2) to investigate whether effective CBT for OCD can be delivered via a therapist-facilitated CBT self-help manual.
Design:
A pilot study using an uncontrolled repeated measures design.
Setting:
A specialist cognitive behaviour therapy department, West Hampshire NHS Trust.
Participants:
Seven consecutive clients referred to a CBT department whose main presenting difficulty was OCD, met inclusion criteria and agreed and consented to participate in the study.
Main outcome measures:
The main outcome measure was the Yale Brown Obsessive Compulsive Checklist (YBOC’s) and a measure of depression and social functioning were administered at pre and post treatment and at 1-, 3-, and 6-month follow-up.
Results:
Results indicated good clinical outcome and nurses can deliver effective support to patients using a self-help manual with obsessive–compulsive disorder.
Conclusions:
Although the results are promising, further work is required with larger numbers, longer follow-up and economic evaluation under controlled conditions.

Objective:
To explore whether breastfeeding status at 6 weeks postpartum is related to the mother’s perceptions of her infant’s behavior, the breastfeeding experience itself, and of herself as a mother during postpartum hospitalization.
Design:
A prospective correlational design.
Setting:
A tertiary care setting in Eastern Canada.
Participants:
One hundred and ten women who met the inclusion criteria were recruited from the postpartum unit. The majority were primaparous, over 25 years of age, well educated, and had partners.
Outcome measures:
(1) Maternal perceptions of the overall infant behavior, of the breastfeeding experience, and of herself using the Mother and Baby Scales (MABS) neonatal (Wolke, D., 1995. St. James Roberts and Wolke Mother and Baby Scales (MABS) (1986,1995). In: Brazelton, T.B., Nugent, J.K. (Eds.), Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale. Clinics in Developmental Medicine 137, 135–137) and (2) breastfeeding rates at 6 weeks postpartum.
Results:
At 6 weeks postpartum, 80 (74.8%) participants were breastfeeding and 27 (25.8%) had stopped. Maternal perceptions of infant alertness/responsiveness (A) (r = 0.54, p < 0.01), irritability during feeds (IDF) (r = −0.34, p < 0.01) and lack of confidence in feeding (LCF) (r = 0.33, p < 0.01) of the MABS neonatal scales were significantly correlated with breastfeeding status at 6 weeks. At 6-week telephone follow-up, the majority of women reported positive breastfeeding experiences, which included feelings of enhanced attachment, enjoyment and a sense of pride and fulfillment. Participants indicated that learning about infant states, behaviors, and cues contributed to their positive feelings about the baby and enjoyment of breastfeeding. Negative experiences were related to perceived insufficient milk supply, illness, and incompatibility of lactation with personal needs and life style.
Conclusions:
The findings highlight the importance of maternal perceptions of their infant’s behavior and of self as a mother in sustaining breastfeeding. In the absence of personal and social pressures to stop breastfeeding, interventions that begin with how to look at feeding from an infant perspective may be the best starting point to a successful breastfeeding.
目的:探讨产后6周母乳喂养状况是否与产后住院期间母亲对婴儿行为的认知、母乳喂养体验本身以及自己作为母亲的认知有关。设计:前瞻性相关设计。环境:位于加拿大东部的三级医疗机构。参与者:从产后单位招募了110名符合纳入标准的妇女。大多数是原生女，年龄在25岁以上，受过良好教育，有伴侣。结果测量:(1)使用母婴量表(MABS)新生儿(Wolke, D.， 1995)，母亲对婴儿整体行为、母乳喂养经历和自己的感知。圣詹姆斯罗伯茨和沃尔克母婴量表(MABS)(1986年，1995年)。见:Brazelton, t.b.， Nugent, J.K.(编)，新生儿行为评估量表。发育医学诊所137,135-137)和(2)产后6周母乳喂养率。结果:产后6周，80名(74.8%)参与者仍在母乳喂养，27名(25.8%)参与者已停止母乳喂养。母亲对婴儿警觉性/反应性的感知(A) (r = 0.54, p <0.01)，饲养期间烦躁(IDF) (r = - 0.34, p <0.01)和饲养信心不足(LCF) (r = 0.33, p <新生儿MABS评分0.01)与6周母乳喂养状况显著相关。在6周的电话随访中，大多数妇女报告了积极的母乳喂养经历，包括依恋感增强、享受感、自豪感和成就感。参与者表示，了解婴儿的状态，行为和线索有助于他们对婴儿的积极感受和母乳喂养的乐趣。负面体验与乳量不足、疾病和哺乳与个人需求和生活方式不相容有关。结论:研究结果强调了母亲对婴儿行为和作为母亲的自我认知在维持母乳喂养中的重要性。在没有个人和社会压力要求停止母乳喂养的情况下，从如何从婴儿的角度看待喂养开始的干预措施可能是成功母乳喂养的最佳起点。

Objectives
To assess surgical patient education interventions and to explore the outcomes of experimental and quasiexperimental studies from 1990 to 2003.
Design
Systematic literature review.
Material and methods
Database searches were carried out in May and September 2003 on Medline and Cochrane Library files from 1990 to 2003, using the inclusion criteria of adult surgical patients, patient education in experimental and quasiexperimental studies, English language and nursing. Data analysis in September–October 2003 focused on assessing the interventions and the outcomes of the studies.
Main results
The database search yielded 32 articles involving 2723 participants. Most of the interventions concerned preoperative surgical patient education and focused on cardiological patients. The most common outcome measures were experiential related (87.5%) and cognitive related (59%). None of the studies measured social or ethical aspects of patient education. Half of the studies (50%) reported both statistically significant and non-significant outcomes. There were also a number of studies (41%) which reported no statistically significant findings.
Conclusions
Educational interventions may have many positive effects, but it is difficult unequivocally to demonstrate those effects. This review did produce some evidence on the effectiveness of patient education, but more rigorous research with strict intervention designs and measures is still needed.
