“…The patient's condition should be closely observed after operation, and relevant treatment measures should be taken in cooperation with the doctor to ensure the smooth progress of all aspects of the operation [23] . Safe and effective treatment methods and systematic nursing measures are of great signi cance for the rapid recovery of patients and the success rate of surgery [24] .…”

Background To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of artificial ascites assisted microwave ablation (MWA) in the treatment of liver cancer near the deep diaphragm and the importance of perioperative nursing. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on patients who received MWA assisted by artificial ascites for liver cancer adjacent to the deep diaphragm from January 2016 to December 2022. Normal saline was used as artificial ascites to protect the deep diaphragm during MWA. The success rate of the procedure, the incidence of major complications, the technical efficacy of ablation, and the local tumor progression were recorded. Results A total of 62 lesions in 54 patients were enrolled, including 44 males and 10 females, with an average age of 55.64 ± 10.33 years. The ultrasound image quality scores of liver cancer before and after ascites were 3.57 ± 0.79 and 4.89 ± 0.33, respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t = 16.324, P < 0.05). There was no injury to the diaphragm, no burn to the skin at the puncture site, and no abdominal hemorrhage. 1 patient developed a right pleural effusion, which was not drained. The complete ablation rate was 94.4% (51/54) at 1 month after ablation. Three patients had recurrence and were treated with MWA again. The patients in this study were followed up for 12 to 45 months, with a median follow-up time of 21 months. The local tumor progression rate was 5.6% (3/54). Conclusion MWA assisted by artificial ascites is a safe and effective treatment for liver cancer near the deep diaphragm. Systematic nursing measures are of great significance for the rapid recovery of patients and the success rate of surgery.

“…Close observation of the patient's condition after surgery is essential, along with implementing relevant treatment measures in collaboration with physicians to ensure smooth progress across all aspects of the operation ( 24 ). Safe and effective treatment methods alongside systematic nursing measures are crucial for promoting rapid patient recovery and increasing surgical success rates ( 25 ).…”

BackgroundCataracts, characterized by a decrease in vision due to the clouding of the lens, can progress to blindness in advanced stages. The rising incidence of cataract cases has led to a significant number of patients experiencing negative emotions associated with vision loss, thereby diminishing their quality of life. In clinical practice, it is imperative for healthcare professionals to consider the psychological well-being of cataract patients. Currently, there is a scarcity of research focusing on psychological evaluations, such as assessing feelings of meaninglessness among individuals with cataracts.ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the factors influencing the anxiety of existential meaninglessness and to explore the relationships among existential anxiety, Herth hope index levels and fear of progression in the elderly cataract-affected population. Additionally, it evaluates the effectiveness of Orem’s nursing care strategies.MethodsUtilizing a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Existential Meaninglessness Anxiety Scale (EM-A), Herth Hope Index Level Scale, and the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form (FoP-Q-SF), this research employed convenience sampling for a cross-sectional and intervention study. The retrospective study sample comprised 1,029 individuals, while the intervention study included 317. The intervention design assessed psychological changes in existential meaninglessness following Orem’s preoperative nursing interventions. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed to ascertain the determinants of EM-A within the population of elderly patients with senile cataracts. Pearson correlation analysis elucidated the relationship between EM-A, levels of hope, and the FoP-Q-SF among this demographic. Subsequent investigations, utilizing a t-test, evaluated the effects by comparing the data before and after the implementation of the interventions.ResultsThe correlation between EM-A, hope levels, and FoP-Q-SF was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Factors such as age, education level, alcohol consumption habits, hope levels, and FoP-Q-SF scores significantly affected EM-A scores (p < 0.05). Orem’s nursing framework significantly reduced existential anxiety (p < 0.05).ConclusionAmong elderly patients with cataracts, existential anxiety was generally moderate. Hope levels and fear of progression were closely associated with the EM-A. The novel Orem preoperative care model effectively addresses clinical issues. In clinical practice, it is crucial to address psychological problems and enhance patients’ quality of life.
