This meta-analysis aimed to explore the effects of quality nursing intervention on wound healing in patients with burns. A computerised search was conducted for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) on the effect of quality nursing intervention on wound healing in patients with burns in the PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang databases from the date of database inception to November 2023. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data and performed quality assessment based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Stata 17.0 software was used for the data analysis. Twenty-nine RCTs involving 2637 patients with burns were included. The meta-analysis revealed that compared with conventional nursing, the implementation of quality nursing intervention in patients with burns significantly shortened the wound healing time (standardised mean difference [SMD] = −2.93, 95% confidence interval [CI]: −3.44 to −2.42, p < 0.001). The incidence of wound infections (odds ratio [OR] = 0.14, 95% CI: 0.07–0.27, p < 0.001) and complications (OR = 0.16, 95% CI: 0.11–0.23, p < 0.001) was also reduced significantly. This meta-analysis shows that applying quality nursing interventions in patients with burns can significantly shorten the wound healing time and reduce the incidence of wound infection and complications, thus promoting early patient recovery.

BackgroundAnxiety is a common preoperative symptom in children with simple congenital heart disease (SCHD). Music therapy shows potential as a non-drug intervention. However, it is unclear how it impacts the level of cooperation during the induction of anesthesia and preoperative anxiety, as well as the factors that influence its effectiveness. Therefore, we will conduct a comprehensive review and meta-analysis to assess the impact of music therapy on the level of cooperation during anesthesia induction and preoperative anxiety in children with SCHD.
MethodsElectronic searches will be conducted through various databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Medline, and CNKI to gather randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining the impact of music therapy on the level of cooperation during anesthesia induction and preoperative anxiety among children with SCHD. Two evaluators will independently review the literature, extract information, and assess the risk of bias in the included studies. Afterwards, data analysis will be conducted using Stata 14.0 software and Revman 5.4 software. The results will be based on random-effects models. The reliability and quality of evidence will be evaluated by using the Grading of Recommendations, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system. Heterogeneity will be examined by subgroup analysis stratified by age, gender ratio, type of surgery, drop-out rate, measurement tools, and country of origin. We will assess potential publication bias using funnel plot symmetrical and Begg’s ang Egger’s regression tests.
DiscussionGiven the multiple advantages that may be associated with music therapy, this therapy may be a desirable alternative to existing therapies for preoperative cooperation and anxiety issues in children with SCHD. We hope that this systematic review will guide clinical decision-making for future efforts related to coping with preoperative fit and anxiety in children with SCHD.

The effect of obesity on wound-related outcomes in post-ovarian cancer patients is not clear. A number of studies on the association of fat with post-operation injury in ovarian carcinoma have produced contradictory findings. This study aims to conduct a study of the available data to assess the association of obese individuals with significant surgery results in ovarian cancer. We looked up Cochrane Library, Embase, and PubMed for qualifying research on ovarian cancer operations to determine the primary evidence for evaluating the association of obesity with post-surgical wound injury in ovarian cancer. The odds ratio (OR) was analysed with a fixed effect model if the variability of the study was small; otherwise, the analysis of the data was done with a random effect model. Out of 1259 related trials which were reviewed for eligibility, 6 publications were chosen from 2009 to 2019, 3076 patients who had had an operation for ovarian cancer. Obesity has been linked to an increased rate of wound-related complications in ovarian cancer operations compared to those without obesity (OR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.37, 0.69 p < 0.0001). Non-obesity was significantly less likely to occur with respect to operation time compared to those with obesity (MD, −48.00; 95% CI, −55.33, −40.68 p < 0.00001). There were no statistically significant differences in the rate of haemorrhage after the operation (OR, 0.26; 95% CI, 0.04, 1.57, p = 0.14). Because of the limited number of trials in this meta-analysis, caution should be exercised in their treatment. More high-quality research with a large sample is required in order to confirm the findings.
It is essential to assist individuals with a mental illness who have achieved clinical recovery in their personal recovery. Understanding the relationship between self-stigma and social support and the effects on perceived recovery can be valuable for clinical professionals in helping patients lead meaningful lives.
To examine the serial mediating roles of social support and perceived hope in self-stigma and the effects on perceived recovery.
A cross-sectional study.
The study was conducted from September 2019 to June 2020. One hundred and fifty-seven patients with schizophrenia in seven chronic rehabilitation wards were enrolled. Each patient had a Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale score ≤ 60 points, and they regularly participated in occupational rehabilitation. Research tools included demographic data, the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale (ISMIS), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Herth Hope Index (HHI), and Perceived Recovery Inventory (PRI). IBM SPSS 24.0 was used to analyse the data. Pearson correlation was used to analyse the relationships between variables, and models 4 and 6 of PROCESS macro V3.4 for SPSS were used to examine the mediation model.
The results indicated that self-stigma and perceived recovery in patients with schizophrenia are negatively correlated, that peer support and perceived hope mediate the relationship between them, and that peer support and perceived hope also have a statistically significant serial mediating effect.
The serial mediation effect of peer support and perceived hope on the relationship between self-stigma and perceived recovery was statistically significant in this study.
This research delves into strategies to assist psychiatric patients in reducing self-stigma and achieving recovery. The findings underscore the heightened significance of peer support for patients in rehabilitative wards and offer valuable insights for medical staff.
