Objectives: To explore the clinical effect of psychological intervention and nursing during the chemotherapy of gynecological malignant tumor. Methods: 120 patients with gynecologic malignancies were selected as subjects. According to the nursing method, these patients were divided into intervention group and control group, with 60 cases in each group. The patients in the control group were given routine care, and the patients in the observation group were given psychological intervention care on the basis of routine nursing. Before and after treatment, the anxiety and depression of the two groups were compared using the Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS). The satisfaction and adverse reactions of the two groups were compared. The results were statistically analyzed. Results: After nursing intervention, the anxiety and depression scores of the intervention group were lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of nausea, vomiting and fatigue in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the symptoms of diarrhea between the two groups (P>0.05). After the treatment, the satisfaction of the intervention group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions: During the chemotherapy of gynecological malignant tumor patients, psychological intervention nursing can alleviate the anxiety and depression of patients, improve the complications, and improve the satisfaction of patients. It is worthy of clinical application.

Under the new trend of industry 4.0 software-defined network, the value of meta heuristic algorithm was explored in the recognition of depression in patients with androgenic alopecia (AGA), and there was an analysis on the effect of comprehensive psychological interventions in the rehabilitation of AGA patients. Based on the meta heuristic algorithm, the Filter and Wrapper algorithms were combined in this study to form a new feature selection algorithm FAW-FS. Then, the classification accuracy of FAW-FS and the ability to identify depression disorders were verified under different open data sets. 54 patients with AGA who went to the Medical Cosmetic Center of Tongji Hospital were selected as the research objects and rolled into a control group (routine psychological intervention) and an intervention group (routine + comprehensive psychological interventions) according to different psychological intervention methods, with 27 cases in each group. The differences of the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), Hamilton depression scale (HAMD), and physical, psychological, social, and substance function scores before and after intervention were compared between the two groups of AGA patients, and the depression efficacy and compliance of the two groups were analyzed after intervention. The results showed that the classification accuracy of FAW-FS algorithm was the highest in logistic regression (LR), decision tree (DT), K-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm, support vector machine (SVM) algorithm, and random forest (RF) algorithm, which was 80.87, 79.24, 80.42, 83.07, and 81.45%, respectively. The LR algorithm had the highest feature selection accuracy of 82.94%, and the classification accuracy of depression disorder in RF algorithm was up to 73.01%. Besides, the SDS, SAS, and HAMD scores of the intervention group were lower sharply than the scores of the control group (p &lt; 0.05). The physical function, psychological function, social function, and substance function scores of the intervention group were higher markedly than those of the control group (p &lt; 0.05). In addition, the proportions of cured, markedly effective, total effective, full compliance, and total compliance patients in the intervention group increased obviously in contrast to the proportions of the control group (p &lt; 0.05). Therefore, it indicated that the FAW-FS algorithm established in this study had significant advantages in the recognition of depression in AGA patients, and comprehensive psychological intervention had a positive effect in the rehabilitation of depression in AGA patients.

BACKGROUND: Cardiac failure is one of the most common chronic diseases with high rate of morbidity and mortality. Fatigue and decreased ability to perform daily activities are of the most common complications of this disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of an educational plan based on Roy adaptation model on fatigue and daily activities in patients with heart failure.METHODS: This experimental study was performed on 60 heart failure patients admitted in two educational hospitals supervised by the Kerman University of Medical Sciences in 2019. Sample was randomly assigned into two intervention and control groups. The intervention group received the care plan through a face-toface and group training program in 6 sessions at one month. Interval followed by a follow-up period for 4 weeks later. Fatigue level was calculated based on piper fatigue scale, and daily activities were calculated by Barthes scale.RESULTS: The finding indicated that there was a significant difference between the two groups (control and intervention) after the intervention. The result showed that the intervention group had significantly lower mean scores in fatigue and higher mean scores in daily activities compared to the control group after intervention P ≤ .05. There was a significant relationship between fatigue and daily activities of life with frequency of hospitalization and duration of disease in both groups, P ≤ .05.CONCLUSION: Implementation of Roy model-based education program as a low-cost, effective, and non-aggressive nursing intervention can reduce fatigue, and improve daily activities in patients with heart failure.

the offspring in prenatal and postnatal periods and later life.  Lack of self-care is the most important reason for mortality in diabetic patients. Self-efficacy has a significant role in enhancing successful adherence to healthy behaviors, lifestyle modifications, and diabetes control among gestational diabetes pregnant women. Aim:  The current study aimed to evaluate the nursing intervention (NI) effectiveness on health locus of control (HELOC) and self-efficacy in women with gestational diabetes (GD). Methods: A quasi-experimental design (study and control group) was used. The researchers conducted this study at the Antenatal Outpatient Clinics of Shebin El-Kom Teaching Hospital, Menoufia Governorate, Egypt. A purposive sample of 120 women with GD was carefully chosen from the nominated setting and dispersed accidentally into two identical groups (study and control group). Three tools were used for collecting the study data: A structured self-administered questionnaire, the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale-C Form, and the General Self-efficacy Scale. Results: There is a statistically significant difference between the intervention and control groups in their internal health locus of control (HELOC) scores after the intervention, with a mean difference of 4.70 at CI 95% for the intervention group p<0.001. A non-statistically significant difference was found between the intervention group and the control group in the external health locus of control (HELOC) mean scores before and after the intervention, although there was a significant difference between the change in both groups p=0.032. Also, there is a highly statistically significant difference between the intervention group and the control group in the self-efficacy scores after the intervention in the intervention group, where p<0.001 compared to a non-significant difference between them before the intervention group intervention (p=0.555). Conclusion: The study concluded that the women with GD who attended NI sessions obtained higher HELOC scores (internal and external) and higher self-efficacy scores than those who do not. Educational nursing intervention should become a fundamental part of the total management of gestational diabetes in antenatal outpatient clinics.

This study was to examine the effects of support interventions on anxiety, depression, and quality of life in women hospitalized with preterm labor. A randomized, single-blind experimental design was used. Participants were recruited from maternity wards of one medical center in Taiwan. The control group ( n = 103) received routine nursing care, and intervention group ( n = 140) received interventional support during hospitalization. The Beck Anxiety Inventory, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, and Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire were used at admission and 2 weeks of hospitalization. For the control group, anxiety and depression scores increased significantly and quality of life decreased 2 weeks after hospitalization. Participants who received 2 weeks of support intervention had significantly lower anxiety and depression scores than controls. Thus, clinical nurses can offer support interventions to improve anxiety and depression for women with preterm labor during hospitalization.

The study was carried out to explore the outcome of relaxation on stress, anxiety and depression level of the caregivers of cancer patients. Fifty caregivers of cancer survivors were randomly assigned to two groups. In intervention group, participants received relaxation once a week for five consecutive weeks while control group received no intervention. Stress (life‐stress questionnaire), anxiety (anxiety scale) and depression (depression scale) levels were assessed before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed by independent sample t test. Results showed that relaxation helped the caregivers of cancer patients to reduce their stress and anxiety. But relaxation did not reduce the level of depression. Implication of the research and future guideline are also discussed. Dhaka Univ. J. Biol. Sci. 26(2): 151-158, 2017 (July)
