To compare and rank the efficacy of different non-pharmacological interventions on anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and the quality of life in liver transplantation patients.
In recent years, numerous non-pharmacological interventions have been developed to address anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and the quality of life in liver transplantation patients. However, it remains unclear which non-pharmacological intervention serves as the most effective and preferred approach.
A systematic review and network meta-analysis in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines.
Relevant randomised controlled trials were extracted from eight electronic databases. A network meta-analysis was then performed to evaluate the relative efficacy of the non-pharmacological interventions for liver transplantation patients. The quality of the data was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. We registered this study in PROSPERO, number CRD42023450346.
A total of 25 randomised controlled trials were included. Spouse support education combined with mindfulness training, individualised psychological intervention, and cognitive behavioural therapy were found to be significantly effective for both anxiety and depression. The top three interventions against anxiety were spouse support education combined with mindfulness training, individualised psychological intervention, and exercise rehabilitation training. Meanwhile, individualised psychological intervention, spouse support education combined with mindfulness training, and cognitive behavioural therapy were the top-ranked three interventions for reducing depression. Sleep hygiene education was the most effective to improve sleep disorders. Continuous care based on a mobile medical platform emerged as the most effective intervention in improving the quality of life.
Several non-pharmacological interventions appeared to be effective in treating anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and improving the quality of life among liver transplantation patients. More high-quality clinical trials should be incorporated in the future to investigate the reliability of existing findings.
Healthcare professionals should be encouraged to apply these promising non-pharmacological interventions during clinical care.

To investigate the knowledge, attitudes and practices of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses regarding acute skin failure (ASF) and analyse the influencing factors thereof.
From 22 December 2023 to 24 January 2024, a cross-sectional study was conducted amongst ICU nurses from 21 hospitals in eight provinces in China. The ASF knowledge, attitude and practice scores were determined using questionnaires, and multiple linear regression was used for further analysis.
Overall, 304 ICU nurses completed the survey. The knowledge, attitude and practice scores were 24.89 ± 10.93, 40.67 ± 5.93 and 43.47 ± 9.19, with scoring rates of 45.25%, 81.34% and 72.45%, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that being a wound ostomy specialist nurse was positively correlated with the knowledge dimension score (p < 0.05). Nurses' professional titles significantly affected attitude scores (p < 0.05); the higher the professional title, the more positive the attitude towards ASF.
The attitudes and practices of ICU nurses in China towards ASF were found to be positive; however, their knowledge levels need improvement. Nursing managers should conduct targeted training, especially for entry-level nurses.
