Lung cancer ranks among the most prevalent and lethal malignancies globally. Its prognostic outcomes are not only contingent upon tumor characteristics and therapeutic interventions but also intricately linked to the nutritional and immune profiles of patients. This article conducts a thorough review of both domestic and international research, providing a comprehensive synthesis of the prognostic value of widely investigated nutritional and immune indicators in the context of lung cancer. The primary objective is to identify optimal prognostic markers in clinical practice, offering guidance for precise post-treatment assessment and early intervention for lung cancer patients.
Objective To discuss the effect of Balint groups on promoting mental health of oncology nurses through developing Balint group activities. Methods From December 2015 to December 2016, a series of Balint group activities were carried out among 63 oncology nurses in West China Hospital of Sichuan University. Huaxi Emotion Index was used to investigate the psychological status in the nurses before and after the activities of Balint groups, and then the data was analyzed statistically. Result Except the scores of nurses aged over 41 and nurses above the primary and secondary level (P>0.05), all other scores had significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusions Balint group activities can significantly relieve oncology nurses’ negative emotions such as anxiety, tension and depression, alleviate body discomfort symptoms and improve interpersonal relationships. Huaxi Emotion Index is easy to understand, which helps rapid clinical assessment and nurses’ psychological problems screening. It is suitable for popularization and application clinically.
目的 了解成都市肿瘤科医护人员经外周静脉留置中心静脉导管术（PICC）认知现状，为今后开展PICC相关知识培训提供科学依据。 方法 2009年12月－2010年1月采用自行设计的问卷对成都市5家三甲医院的肿瘤科医护人员309名（医生134名，护士175名）进行PICC认知态度现状调查。 结果 成都市三甲医院肿瘤科医护人员PICC认知呈中等偏低的水平，护士PICC知识的掌握高于医生（P＜0.05），护士PICC态度得分优于医生（P＜0.05）。94.84%的医护人员知道PICC技术；只有8.38%的肿瘤科医护人员接受过PICC专业培训。不同文化程度、年龄、工龄、职业与PICC认知之间的差异存在统计学意义（P＜0.05）。 结论 三甲医院肿瘤科医护人员对PICC技术有一定的了解，但总体认知仍有待提高，需加强PICC相关知识培训，进一步提高医护人员PICC认知水平，以利于肿瘤专科开展PICC技术，促进肿瘤护理的专业化发展。
Objective To investigate the current status of fear of disease progression and sleep quality among laryngeal cancer patients, and analyze the correlation between them. Methods Laryngeal cancer patients who were hospitalized in West China Hospital of Sichuan University between March 2021 and February 2022 were selected for this cross-sectional survey. Sociodemographic and disease-related data questionnaires, Chinese version of Fear of Progression Questionaire Short Form, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) Scale were used to investigate the laryngeal cancer patients who met the inclusion criteria, and the correlation between fear of disease progression and PSQI score in laryngeal cancer patients was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis. Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis was used to analyze the effects of sociodemographic and disease-related characteristics on the total score of fear of disease progression in laryngeal cancer patients, and the effects of sociodemographic, disease-related characteristics and total score of fear of disease progression on the total score of PSQI of laryngeal cancer patients. Scores were expressed as median (lower quartile, upper quartile). Results A total of 312 copies of questionnaires were distributed and 309 valid copies were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 99.0%. The total score of fear of disease progression in the laryngeal cancer patients was 22.00 (16.00, 30.00), including 12.00 (8.00, 17.00) in physiological health dimension, and 10.00 (7.00, 14.00) in social and family dimension. The total score of PSQI was 5.00 (3.00, 8.50). The correlations of the physiological health dimension score, the social and family dimension score, and the total score of fear of disease progression with the total score of PSQI in laryngeal cancer patients were positive with statistical significance (rs=0.294, P<0.001; rs=0.234, P<0.001; rs=0.287, P<0.001). Multiple linear stepwise regression analyses showed that the total score of fear of disease progression in laryngeal cancer patients was affected by the stage of disease, occupation, primary caregiver and treatment plan (P<0.05), and the total score of PSQI of laryngeal cancer patients was affected by level of education, treatment plan and the total score of fear of disease progression (P<0.05). Conclusions The fear of disease progression in laryngeal cancer patients has a significant negative correlation with the sleep quality. Meanwhile, alleviating the level of fear of disease progression may improve sleep quality.
