“…The high score obtained from the scale indicates the high level of self-care or self-care agency and power of the individual. There are a limited number of studies that determine the self-care ability in transplant patients (Çeliktürk & Durmaz Edeer, 2019; Li et al, 2020; Zhan et al, 2015). Similarly, a study on patients with cirrhosis found the mean score of self-care agency as moderate (Kepenek, 2014).…”

Individuals with liver transplantation (LT), hopelessness, and lack of self-care may occur and change in the illness perceptions; however, no study has examined the effects of the illness perceptions on self-care agency and hopelessness levels in individuals with LT. This study was conducted to examine the effects of the illness perceptions of patients who had received LT surgery on their self-care agency and hopelessness levels. A descriptive cross-sectional study with a convenience sample ( N = 120) was conducted at a center in eastern Turkey. The data were collected by using the “Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire” (B-IPQ), “Self-Care Agency Scale” (SCAS), “Beck Hopelessness Scale” (BHS). In the study, the mean total B-IPQ, SCAS, BHS scores was found as 57.50 ± 3.61, 83.83 ± 9.43, 10.19 ± 3.81, respectively. There was a positive and significant relationship between the B-IPQ and BHS total scores.

“…Renal function: Serum creatinine (Scr), cystatin C (CysC), blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Self-management ability: The out-of-hospital self-care ability was evaluated by the exercise of the self-care agency (ESCA) scale [ 11 ], including four items self-concept, self-care responsibility, health knowledge awareness, and self-care skills, with lower scores indicating poorer self-care ability. The self-efficacy before and after care was assessed via the general self-efficacy scale (GSES) [ 12 ], with lower scores indicating poorer self-efficacy.…”

Objective. To explore the value of continuous nursing (CN) based on WeChat in improving healthy quality of life and self-management behavior of patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods. A total of 100 patients with DN who were treated in our hospital from November 2019 to January 2020 were selected. Thereinto, 54 patients who received CN based on WeChat were considered as the research group, and 46 patients who received the routine nursing intervention were considered as the control group. Peripheral blood samples were collected before nursing intervention (T0), 1 month after intervention (T1), and 2 months after intervention (T2) to test blood glucose, blood lipid, and renal function. Exercise of self-care agency (ESCA) scale and general self-efficacy scale (GSES) was conducted to evaluate patients’ self-management ability, and a short-form 36-item health survey (SF-36) was conducted to evaluate their quality of life. Finally, the treatment compliance and satisfaction of patients were investigated. Results. There was no marked difference in blood glucose, blood lipid, and renal function between groups at T0 ( P > 0.05 ), but the research group was better than the control group at T1 and T2 ( P < 0.05 ). After the nursing intervention, the scores of ESCA, GSES, and SF-36 in the research group were higher ( P < 0.05 ). In addition, the treatment compliance rate and satisfaction of the research group were also higher. Conclusion. CN based on WeChat can effectively improve the self-management behavior and quality of life of DN patients, which is extremely suitable for such chronic diseases with extremely long treatment cycles and can provide a more effective guarantee for their recovery.

“…The factors that may affect early UTI after kidney transplantation were analyzed by the research group based on literature review as well as the actual situation of our transplant center. The results showed that delayed recovery of renal function in women and after renal transplantation was an independent risk factor for early UTI after renal transplantation (2,18). In addition, this study closely focused on symptom management strategy, one of the three basic elements of SMT, in order to develop an early UTI prevention and control nursing solution after kidney transplantation.…”

Background: To construct a nursing solution for the prevention and control of urinary tract infection (UTI) in the early stage after kidney transplantation, and to provide systematic and standardized nursing intervention measures for patients in the early stage after kidney transplantation. Methods:The preliminary draft of intervention plan was formulated based on risk factor analysis research results of early UTI after kidney transplantation, combined with theoretical research, literature review, and research group meeting. The Delphi method was used to consult 15 experts for two rounds, and the entries were modified according to the opinions of the experts.Results: After two rounds of consultation, the expert opinions tended to be consistent, and expert authority coefficient was 0.87. The Kendall harmony coefficient of importance and feasibility indexes of the two rounds of consultation were 0.407, 0.651 and 0.545, 0.686, respectively, with statistically significant differences (P<0.001). The nursing solution consisted of eight first-level indexes and 35 second-level indexes.The eight first-level indexes included admission symptom evaluation, UTI monitoring, health education, sports intervention, nutrition intervention, ward management, risk factor prevention and nursing, and psychosocial intervention.Conclusions: This study constructed a scientific and reliable nursing solution for the prevention and control of early UTI after kidney transplantation, which is hugely important for guiding clinical nursing work.
