“…The sample sizes of patients randomised in eligible studies varied widely, ranging from 46 patients [ 12 ] to 345 patients [ 13 ]. The duration of follow-up ranged from 2 months [ 23 ] to 18 months [ 18 ]; almost half of the studies investigating a long-term effect of psychological interventions had at least a 12-month follow-up. Of the included trials, only four were relatively recent [ 13 , 14 , 18 , 20 ], enrolling patients in the past 10 years.…”

Introduction The psychological burden of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is considerable. The condition affects the daily lives of adults living with T1DM (ALWT1DM) in many ways. International guidelines highlight the importance of providing psychological support to ALWT1DM to improve health outcomes and well-being. Methods We conducted a systematic literature review of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) to identify the evidence on the impact of psychological interventions on glycaemic control and psychological outcomes in ALWT1DM. Literature searches of Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PsycInfo, and the grey literature were performed to identify relevant RCTs, published in English, from 2001 onward. Fourteen RCTs of ten psychological interventions in ALWT1DM were eligible and included in the qualitative synthesis. The studies varied considerably in terms of duration, target population, endpoints, and efficacy. Results Overall, psychological interventions did not perform significantly better than control treatments in improving glycaemic control, although selected patient groups did report benefits from some psychological intervention types, such as cognitive behavioural therapy. Although most of the psychological interventions produced small, nonsignificant improvements in self-reported patient functioning, some treatments were effective in reducing diabetes distress and improving mental health, even if no impact on glycaemic control was observed. Discussion Current guidelines for the treatment of T1DM recommend access to psychological services; however, there is a paucity of high-quality evidence from clinical trials on the effectiveness or preferred structure of psychological support. There is a clear need for more rigorous, large-scale, international research to address the efficacy of psychological interventions in ALWT1DM.

“…Most of the trials included in the SLR were rated as having a high risk of bias. Two studies were assessed as having a low risk of bias [ 23 , 24 ], and one trial [ 13 ] had some concerns. One trial with results published as a conference abstract could not be assessed for risk of bias because of its limited information [ 15 ].…”

“…Relaxation training is an auxiliary method of drug therapy for patients with type 1 diabetes. [ 21 ] This type of therapy can inhibit anxiety, tension, depression, and other negative emotions through muscle relaxation. [ 22 ] In the present study, the HADS-A and HADS-D scores of the CG after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment, indicating that relaxation training had a certain effect on improving the emotional state of the patients.…”

Objective: Noise pollution has been listed as one of the three major types of pollution, along with air and water pollution. Hospitals should pay attention to noise control, which is of great importance for the treatment and rehabilitation of patients. This study focuses on the application value of noise control and relaxation training. Methods: This study retrospectively collected and analyzed the clinical data of 184 patients who underwent skin laser cosmetology in Ningbo Yinzhou No. 2 Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022. Twelve patients who did not meet the criteria were excluded, and the remaining 172 patients were divided based on the type of intervention into the control group (CG, n = 82) and the study group (SG, n = 90). The CG received relaxation training and routine noise management, while the SG received noise control combined with relaxation training. The intervention effect was discussed from the aspects of noise, psychology, and satisfaction. Results: After the intervention, the SG had overtly lower noise levels and lower scores of anxiety and depression compared to the CG (all P < 0.001). Correlation analysis showed that noise levels were positively correlated with scores of anxiety and depression (r = 0.553, r = 0.592, P < 0.001). The two groups had no significant difference in total satisfaction (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Noise poses a significant threat to the human body. Strengthening noise control in hospitals is beneficial for patients’ recovery. Combining noise control with relaxation training is an intervention method worthy of clinical application. It can improve the hospitalization environment and reduce the noise levels to a great extent, thereby improving the psychological state of patients and enhancing the medical satisfaction.

The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is increasingly popular for the management of diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim of this study was to conduct systematic review of any types of complementary and alternative medicine for glycemic control of diabetes mellitus. Four databases was used in this study, the CINAHL, PUBMED, SCOPUS, and ProQUEST. The systematic review were reported according to the PRISMA guidelines. The keywords were used according to medical subject headings (MeSH) in this study were diabetes mellitus AND complementary and alternative medicine AND blood glucose levels or blood sugar or blood glucose. Articles were limited to 2015–2021 and only in English language. We obtained 231 articles from these databases: CINAHL six articles, PUBMED 85 articles, SCOPUS 66 articles, PROQUEST 74 articles. Then, the final results recorded 17 articles. The results of a systematic review showed the effectiveness of natural products as CAM for glycemic control of DM, namely Berberis aristata/ Silybum marianum, fenugreek seed, bitter melon, cinnamon or whortleberry supplements, a combination of herbal plants ( C. spinosa, R. canina, and S. securigera), Nigella sativa, Mulberry juice, chicory, chamomile tea, and bell pepper juice combined with an integrated approach of yoga therapy. Mind body practices such as auditory guided imagery (AGI), qigong and tai chi exercises, and relaxation. Whole system approach, such as acupressure. Health care providers consider CAM for DM management.
