ObjectiveTo systematically review the satisfaction of Chinese residents with the contract services of family doctors. MethodsCNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, PubMed, Web of Science, and EMbase databases were electronically searched to collect cross-sectional studies related to the Chinese residents' satisfaction with the service of family doctors from January 2011 to May 2021. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using Stata 14.1 software. ResultsA total of 42 cross-sectional studies were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the overall satisfaction rate of residents with the contract services of family doctors was 77.7% (95%CI 73.7% to 81.7%). The results of subgroup analysis showed that the satisfaction rate of the male and female residents were 83.0% and 84.3%; <60 and ≥60 years old residents were 83.5% and 81.7%; junior high school or below, senior high school or technical secondary school, junior college or above educational level residents were 84.1%, 76.4% and 81.2%; the monthly income less than 4000 yuan and more than 4000 yuan residents were 78.5% and 79.3%; with and without diseases residents were 85.3% and 79.7%; with and without spouse residents were 80.6% and 82.4%; on and off the job residents were 77.7% and 73.9%; urban and rural residents were 78.7% and 80.0%; in 2011-2015 and 2016-2020 were 67.6% and 76.2%; eastern and western regions residents were 76.5% and 79.7%; relevant studies which were conducted by random sampling and nonrandom sampling were 80.5% and 73.5%. ConclusionsThere is still room for improvement in residents' satisfaction with family doctor contract service. Residents with different education levels, disease situations, on-the-job situations, time, regions and sampling methods have differences in their satisfaction with the contract services of family doctors.
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of family-school-hospital application in continuous nursing care for children with epilepsy. Methods120 children with epilepsy admitted to Children's Hospital Affiliated to Jiangnan University from January 2021 to October 2022 were randomly divided into two groups, each with 60 cases. The control group received routine care, while the experimental group received family-school-hospital continuous care. Compare the awareness of epilepsy knowledge, disease control effectiveness, medication compliance, negative emotions, physical and mental status, and quality of life before and after nursing between the families of two groups of children with epilepsy. ResultsAfter 2 months of nursing care, the scores of family members' knowledge of epilepsy in the experimental group were higher than the control group (P<0.05). The effect of disease control in the experimental group was better the control group (P<0.05). The drug compliance of the experimental group was higher than the control group (P<0.05). The quality of life score in the intervention group was higher than the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionThe application of family-school-hospital in the continuous care of children with epilepsy can improve their family members' awareness of epilepsy knowledge, effectively control the disease, improve medication compliance, improve negative emotions and physical and mental conditions, and thus improve the quality of life of children.
Objective To investigate the prognostic factors of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD) in elderly patients, and to guide the clinical assessment and appropriate interventions. Methods A prospective cohort study was carried out from May 1993 to December 2010. A total of 178 elderly patients with severe COPD were recruited for baseline survey, and followed up for the living conditions, whether used non-invasive ventilation, and causes of death. A survival analysis was performed on all patients stratified by lung function. The significant factors on survival rate were analyzed. Results In this cohort the survival rates were 49% and 12% in five and ten years, respectively. The important factors for prognosis were age [ relative risk( RR) = 1. 043, 95% confidence intervals( 95% CI = 1. 010-1. 050] , forced expired volume in one second ( FEV1 , RR = 0. 019, 95% CI = 0. 007-0. 052) , FEV1% pred ( RR = 1. 045, 95% CI = 1. 012-1. 079) , lung function grade ( RR = 2. 542, 95% CI = 1. 310-4. 931) , body mass index ( BMI, RR= 0. 945, 95% CI = 0. 895-0. 952) , and pulmonary heart disease ( RR = 1. 872, 95% CI = 1. 188- 2. 959) . In severe COPD, non-invasive ventilation ( NIV, RR = 1. 167, 95% CI = 0. 041-1. 674) , pulmonary heart disease ( RR = 3. 805, 95% CI = 1. 336-10. 836) , FEV1 ( RR = 0. 081, 95% CI = 1. 001-1. 168) , and arterial partial of oxygen ( PaO2 , RR=0. 956, 95% CI =0. 920-0. 993) were the independent predictors.The patients using NIV had longer survival than those without NIV. The 5 and 10 years survival rate in the patients with NIV were 78% and 50% , much higher than those without ventilation which were 30% and 25% , respectively. In extremely severe COPD, FEV1 ( RR=1. 059, 95% CI =1. 015-1. 105) , arterial partial of carbon dioxide ( PaCO2 , RR=1. 037, 95% CI = 1. 001-1. 074) , age ( RR= 1. 054, 95% CI = 1. 013-1. 096) and pulmonary heart disease ( RR = 1. 892, 95% CI = 1. 125-3. 181) were the independent predictors. Conclusions Age, BMI, FEV1 , PaO2 , PaCO2 , pulmonary heart disease, and NIV were prognostic factors in elderly patients with severe COPD. The prognostic factors between severe and extremely severe COPD were not identical. Patients with severe COPD should be given early intervention, including progressive nutritional support, and long-term home oxygen therapy combining with NIV.
ObjectiveTo explore the prevalence of anxiety symptoms and its related factors among the family caregivers of the disabled elderly.
MethodsA cross-sectional survey based on convenience sampling was conducted among family caregivers between November and December, 2013 in Dongcheng district in Beijing. The Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) were used to evaluate caregivers' anxious symptoms and social support status respectively. The degree of functional impairment of the elderly was measured by Barthel index.
ResultsA total of 243 family caregivers took part in the study including 88 males and 155 females. The average age of the family caregivers was (60±1.7) years old, ranging from 25 to 85. The prevalence rate of anxiety was 29.2% reported by family caregivers. The average score of SAS was 35.6±8.6. The risk factors of caregivers' anxiety included Barthel index score ≤20 (OR=1.51), SSRS score ≤33 (OR=4.56), no time to relax (OR=1.57) and poor health status caregivers feeling (OR=3.48).
ConclusionA relative high level of anxiety exists in family caregivers for the disabled elderly. Caregiver anxiety is a complex process, influenced by diverse care receiver and caregiver characteristics.
Objective To investigate the family-dependence status in patients with tumor, and analyze the related factors of family dependence. Methods The self-made family-dependence scale was distributed to 432 patients with tumor to asses their family dependence status. Results The mean score of family-dependence was 40±5.8. A total of 198 cases (45.8%) were family-dependent, including 52 mild cases, 98 moderate cases, and 48 severe cases. The logistic regression analyses showed that sex (OR=3.873, P=0.022), age (OR=2.378, P=0.035), and personality type (OR=1.079, P=0.028) were the related factors of family-dependence. Conclusion More attention should be paid to patients with tumor about their family-dependence. After being instructed, the family members should use proper emotional expression method to provide family support to the patients with tumor. The female patients, older patients, and patients with dependent personality should be encouraged to improve their self-care ability to avoid family-dependence as possible as they can.
ObjectiveTo collect and analyze the clinical data and quality of life of hemophilic children, understand the present condition of these patients in Sichuan Province, and analyze related influencing factors.
MethodWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of hemophilic children treated in our hospital from January 1, 2008 to May 30, 2015.
ResultsThere were 92 child patients from Sichuan Province with a median age of 9.6 years old (ranging from 3.6 to 18.0). There were 87 cases (94.6%) of hemophilia A and 5 (5.4%) of hemophilia B; the number of light cases was 4 (4.3%), of moderate cases was 67 (72.8%), and of severe cases was 21 (22.9%); eighteen (19.6) of the patients had family history. First bleeding episode occurred at a median age of 11 months (0-48 months). Mild bleeding occurred in 23 cases (25.0%), moderate bleeding in 31 cases (33.7%), and severe bleeding in 38 cases (41.3%). First bleeding site was mainly the mucous membrane of the skin, followed by the joint muscles. Fist joint bleeding occurred at a median age of 18 months (2-107 months). Forty-six patients (59.0%) had severe joint damage during the course of the disease. Intracranial hemorrhage occurred in 4 patients (4.3%), among whom 3 were cured and discharged from the hospital, and 1 had neurological sequelae. Median diagnostic age was 12 months (0-120 months). Sixty-two (67.4%) were diagnosed in a short period of time, 9 (9.8%) in a mediate period of time, and 21 (22.8%) in a long period of time. Forty (43.5%) of the patients had been given sufficient coagulation factors, while all the others had not received sufficient replacement therapy. Fifty-six (60.9%) children had received prophylactic treatment. First prophylaxis was administrated at a median age of 36 months (1-199 months), but 27 (48.2%) discontinued. The median score of the 29 retreated Disease Burden Scale was 22.7±11.6 (4-43), and among them, 11 (37.9%) could not care for themselves. Twenty-three participated in the assessment of social activity ability, among whom, 2 did not attend school, and 6 could not take part in the assessment because of school learning. Correlation analysis showed that there was no significant relationship between diagnostic timing and family history (P=0.795) or between diagnostic timing and areas they came from (P=0.495). However, significant association was found between diagnostic timing and the severity of first bleeding (r=0.392, P=0.035). Disease burden of family was significantly correlated with the number of target joints (r=0.370, P=0.048), and was not closely related with area, severity of bleeding, frequency of hemorrhage, medical insurance, or physical and social activities.
ConclusionsThe general diagnosis and treatment condition of child hemophilia in Sichuan is relatively under-developed with a high prevalence of joint damage, poor quality of life, and high disease burden to the family. Improvement in the care of hemophilia children is urgently needed.

Methods From December 2009 to February 2010, 102 elder patients with COPD were investigated via a medical coping style questionnaire and a family function questionnaire. Results About 82.4% patients had good family function. The coping styles of the patients included "envisaging" (19.14±2.67), "eviting" (13.92±2.38), and "yielding" (12.99±2.77). Most of the patients with good family function had a coping style of "envisaging". Conclusion The general level of the family function of the elder patients with COPD is high; the patients have different coping style, who should accept relevant health education and nursing interference.
