“…It reflects an individual’s current and future health trends in four aspects including physical differences, life processes, psychological condition, and adaptability to natural and social environments [ 3 ]. With the progress of the research on the association between body constitution (BC) and diseases, it provides evidence supporting the BC identification to carry out disease prevention and treatment and promote population health in TCM clinical and public health practice [ 4 ]. Health management based on BC identification of TCM has been incorporated into China’s Basic Public Health Services system and used nationwide for primary care.…”

Background More efficient instruments for body constitution identification are needed for clinical practice. We aimed to develop the short-form version of the Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire (CCMQ) and evaluate for health management. Methods First, the short forms were developed through expert survey, classical test theory (CTT), and modern item response (IRT) based on the CCMQ. A combination of e-mail and manual methods was used in expert survey. Then, five indexes of CTT including criteria value-critical ratio, correlation coefficient, discrete tendency, internal consistency, and factor loading were used. And, IRT method was used through analyzing the discrimination and difficulty parameters of items. Second, the three top-ranked items of each constitution scale were selected for the simplified CCMQ, based on the three combined methods of different conditions and weights. Third, The psychometric properties such as completion time, validity (Construct, criterion, and divergent validity), and reliability (test–retest and internal consistency reliability) were evaluated. Finally, the diagnostic validity of the best short-form used receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results Three short-form editions were developed, and retained items 27, 23 and 27, which are named as WangQi nine body constitution questionnaire of Traditional Chinese Medicine (short-form) (SF-WQ9CCMQ)- A, B, and C, respectively. SF-WQ9CCMQ- A is showed the best psychometric property on Construct validity, Criterion validity, test–retest reliability and internal consistency reliability. The diagnostic validity indicated that the area under the ROC curve was 0.928 (95%CI: 0.924–0.932) for the Gentleness constitution scale, and were 0.895–0.969 and 0.911–0.981 for unbalance constitution scales using the cut-off value of the original CCMQ as 40 (“yes” standard) and 30 (“tendency” standard), respectively. Conclusions Our study successfully developed a well short-form which has good psychometric property, and excellent diagnostic validity consistent with the original. New and simplified instrument and opportunity are provided for body constitution identification, health management and primary care implementation.

Objective. To explore the influence of personalized health management model based on the Internet mode on self-management ability and life quality of patients with chronic diseases of physical examination. Methods. Sixty patients with chronic diseases who went through physical examination from February 2019 to April 2021 were enrolled in our hospital. The patients were arbitrarily assigned into control and research group. The former group received routine nursing, and the latter group received personalized health management mode based on the Internet mode. The nursing satisfaction, self-management behavior ability, blood pressure level, physiological index, mastery of health knowledge, and life quality scores were compared. Results. In terms of nursing satisfaction, the research group was very satisfied in 20 cases, satisfactory in 9 cases, and general in 1 case, with a satisfaction rate of 100.00%; In the control group, 15 cases were very satisfied, 9 cases were satisfied, 1 case was general, 5 cases were not satisfied, and the satisfaction rate was 83.33%; The nursing satisfaction of the research group was higher ( P < 0.05 ). Compared with the self-management behavior ability, the scores of diet control, regular medication, correct medication, and smoking cessation in the research group were remarkably higher ( P < 0.05 ). There exhibited no significant difference in blood pressure level before intervention ( P > 0.05 ); after intervention, the blood pressure levels lessened. Compared with the control group, the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of the research group were lower ( P < 0.05 ). The levels of triglyceride, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and fasting blood glucose in the research group were remarkably lower ( P < 0.05 ). Compared with the control group, the scores of health knowledge in the research group were remarkably higher, including the harm of smoking, the use of drugs, the importance of persisting in taking drugs, the pathogenesis of chronic diseases, the effect of emotional management on the disease, and the dietary awareness in the research group ( P < 0.05 ). There exhibited no significant difference in the score of life quality before nursing ( P > 0.05 ); after nursing, the score of life quality lessened, and the scores of physiological function, psychological function, social function, and health self-cognition in the research group were lower ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. The personalized health management model based on the Internet mode can effectively enhance the chronic disease physiological indexes such as blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood sugar and improve the self-management ability of the patients with chronic disease, which is worth further popularizing and applying in the clinical physical examination in clinic.
