We have evaluated the effect of a combination of nursing intervention and external asiaticoside on postoperative scar recovery and mental state of patients with breast cancer. To this end, 98 patients with breast cancer whose stitches had been removed 15 days after modified radical mastectomy and completely healed incisions were randomly divided into control and experimental groups. The control patients received the conventional nursing intervention, while those in the experimental group also received external asiaticoside. Compared with the control group, the incidence rate of postoperative complications in the experimental group was significantly lower with respect to their functional recovery status, psychological status, and daily living ability. In conclusion, the use of scar care exercises in combination with topical application of asiaticoside can greatly improve patients’ mobility and reduce the occurrence of complications, thus improving the patients’ ability to take care of themselves and enabling them to better integrate into the society.

Abstract Introduction: Modified radical mastectomy (MRM) is a breast cancer treatment option that is still operable. One of the postoperative complications that can be found is the formation of seroma. High negative suction drain is done to treat seroma after surgery but it can contribute to increase the length of stay in hospital. Methods: This study was a clinical randomized control trial (cRCT) conducted on 30 breast cancer patients in June - July 2019 at Moehammad Hoesin Hospital in Palembang. This study divided the two sample groups, each group consisting of 15 patients. One group was given half negative pressure on suction drain (experimental group) and the other used full negative pressure on suction drain (control group). Results: There was a significant difference (p <0.005) between the full and half negative pressure groups where there were more seroma events in the full vacuum group in 9 (60%) cases and half vacuum in 2 (30%) but there were no significant differences in long period of stay (p> 0.005). Conclusion: Half negative pressure is more effective in treating seroma than full negative pressure.

Objective: To investigate the effect of advanced nursing on the quality of life and the prevention of complications in patients with breast cancer undergoing PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) chemotherapy. Methods: From January 2017 to January 2020, 98 patients with breast cancer undergoing PICC chemotherapy in our hospital were divided into control group and study group by random sampling. The patients were given routine nursing and advanced nursing intervention on the basis of routine nursing. The psychological status, complications and quality of life of the patients were compared. Results: There was no significant difference in HAMA, HAMD score and QLQ-30 score before nursing (P > 0.05). The scores of HAMA and HAMD in the study group after nursing were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05), the scores of QLQ-30 were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05), and the complication rate was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The intervention of advanced nursing mode in patients with breast cancer treated with PICC chemotherapy can effectively alleviate the influence of negative emotion on chemotherapy, reduce the occurrence of complications and improve the quality of life. This mode has high clinical value.

Objective: To explore the effect of continuous nursing intervention on psychological status and medication compliance of patients with acute myocardial infarction after PCI operation. Methods: from February 2013 to September 2016, 102 patients with acute myocardial infarction treated by PCI were selected and divided into two groups, 51 cases in each group according to the different nursing methods. The observation group was added continuous nursing on the basis of routine nursing, while the control groupwas the usual nursing mode. The mental state of the two groups before and after treatment was evaluated, and the patients were followed up for 6 months after discharge. The compliance of the two groups at 1, 3 and June after discharge was statistically analyzed. Results: before nursing, there was no signifcant difference in the mental state evaluation between the two groups (P > 0.05). After nursing, the mental status of the two groups was improved, while the psychological state of the observation group was better than that of the control group (P < 0.05). After 6 months' follow-up, there was no signifcant difference in the compliance rate between the two groups at 1 months after discharge (P > 0.05). In 3 and June, the compliance of the patients in the observation group was better than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: continuous nursing intervention for patients with acute myocardial infarction after PCI can effectively adjust the unhealthy psychological state of patients, improve medication compliance and promote early rehabilitation of patients.

Abstract Introduction Breast cancer stands out as the second most common cancer in the world with incidence 35.1% of all malignancies among females in Egypt. Fluid build-up after breast surgery is still the most annoying complication which leads to worse outcome. We aimed to evaluate whether autologous fibrin glue might lessen the formation of seroma following modified radical mastectomy. Methods This was a randomized controlled trial designed to configure the effect of autologous fibrin glue given in the study group using the drain in comparison to a control group who received the drain only; seroma volume was calculated every 24 hrs. For all of the cases. The drains were removed when the daily drainage was less than 30 ml for 3 consecutive days. Results We recruited 30 patients to each of the two groups. Age, pathology, breast cancer stage, number of lymph nodes and tumour size did not differ significantly between groups. A comparison of the median days to drain removal showed 8 days reduction in median days to drain removal compared in the intervention group (7 days) than the control (15 days). The patients in the fibrin glue group had a significantly lower cumulative drain output volume (mean ± SD of 505.6 ± 209.3 ml) than those in the control group (1674.1± 1373.8 ml). Additionally, the patients treated with fibrin glue had a significantly shorter postoperative length of stay (8.5 (7–10) days) than the controls (15 (10–23) days. Conclusions Autologous fibrin glue significantly decrease seroma formation post-modified radical mastectomy. Research Registry Unique Identifying Number: researchregistry5372.

The purpose was to examine the effects of auricular acupressure to relieve constipation in patients with breast cancer who were undergoing chemotherapy. Participants were 52 patients with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy at E University Hospital, Seoul, Korea, randomized into two groups of equal size. For the experimental group, auricular acupressure was applied to seven auricular acupoints for 6 weeks using vaccaria seeds, whereas the control group received the usual care. Constipation-assessment scores of the experimental group were significantly lower compared with the control group ( p < .001). Stool-form scores of the experimental group were significantly higher compared with the control group ( p = .003). Patient Assessment of Constipation–Quality of Life scores of the experimental group were significantly lower compared with the control group ( p < .001). Auricular acupressure was effective at relieving constipation in patients with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy. Auricular acupressure was also a safe and acceptable nursing intervention.

Maintaining stable physiological responses may be important for the growth and development of preterm infants. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the effects of olfactory stimulation with maternal breast milk on the occurrence of abnormal physiological responses in preterm infants. With a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design, 13 preterm infants in the experimental group and 18 preterm infants in the control group completed the intervention. The intervention was implemented three times a day for 5 days in a row with 2 hours of administration per intervention. The frequency of abnormal physiological responses was assessed over 6 days (one day before intervention administration and 5 days during intervention administration). With repeated-measures analysis of variance, the experimental group showed a significantly lower frequency of apnea than the control group ( p = .021). Olfactory stimulation with maternal breast milk may be an effective nursing intervention for reducing apnea episodes in preterm infants.
