Background: Breast cancer patients who undergo mastectomy encounter numerous problems, the most annoying of which is lymphedema followed by pain and decreased function in the affected limb. Objectives: This study examined the effect of self-care training on upper limb function and pain after breast surgery. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was performed on two groups of 60 patients with breast cancer in the Oncology Ward of Zahedan University of Medical Sciences in 2021. The patients were selected based on the inclusion criteria and through convenience sampling and were then randomly divided into intervention and control groups. The patients in the intervention group attended self-care training and exercise programs implemented in five sessions in addition to the routine care. One and three months after the intervention, upper limb function and pain were measured with DASH and McGill pain questionnaires. The repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Bonferroni test were used to compare the pre-, and post-intervention mean scores and mean differences in the two groups. Results: The mean scores of upper limb function one and three months after the training program in the intervention group were lower than the mean scores of the control group. In other words, the quality of upper limb function was not significantly different despite the changes in the first month, but upper limb function significantly improved three months after the intervention (P < 0.001 vs. P = 0.06). The mean pain scores before, one month, and three months after the intervention in the intervention group were 10.4, 35.7, and 6.26, respectively, and the corresponding values in the control group were 10.8, 41.7, and 21.1, respectively, showing significant differences between the two groups, with the intervention group having lower pain scores than the control group (P = 0.001). Conclusions: Since lymphedema and its consequences, including decreased upper limb function and pain, are very serious issues, medical staff can give priority to this training program and implement it to prevent and control these complications.

Abstract BackgroundPatients with mechanical heart valve due to the possibility of coagulation complications require lifelong use of anticoagulants and International Normalized Ratio (INR) control. But if not taken care of properly, anticoagulant therapy itself can put people at risk for bleeding and be life-threatening. ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to determine the effect of Self-care training and information support of patients with mechanical heart valve on INR and the bleeding complications.DesignA randomized double-blind controlled trial.Settings and MethodsParticipants were recruited via convenience sampling from Farshchian hospital in Hamadan, Iran; and were randomly divided into two groups control (n=80) and intervention (n=80). Participants in the control group received only routine training; in addition, the intervention group received 6 sessions of self-care training and 6 months of information support. Monthly the level of INR and incidence of bleeding were determined. Data were analyzed using independent t-test and chi-square in spss16 software at a significance level of 0.05.ResultsDuring 6 months of follow-up, except for the third month, the frequency of INR levels in therapeutic target range (2.5-3.5) in the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group (p<0.05). Also in the intervention group, the incidence of bleeding complications was relatively less than the control group, but this difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05).ConclusionProper self-care training and information support in patients with mechanical heart valve replacement have positive results. By doing self-care, the level of a therapeutic target range of INR maintained and the incidence of bleeding complications can be reduced.

Jin Shin Jyutsu

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of training nurses in Jin Shin Jyutsu® self-care methods and to correlate the training with measurement of the nurses’ personal and organizational stress and their perceptions of their caring efficacy for patients. Design: A quasi-experimental, pretest, posttest, and 30- to 40-day posttest design was used. Method: In all, 20 participants received three 2-hour Jin Shin Jyutsu self-care training sessions from a certified Jin Shin Jyutsu self-care trainer (who was also a registered nurse). The training took place over a 1-month period, and participants agreed to practice the self-care daily. Two study instruments, one measuring organizational and personal stress and the second measuring caring efficacy, were completed before the first training, after the last training, and 1 month after the trainings had been completed. Findings: Analysis of data from the Personal and Organizational Quality Assessment–Revised by paired t tests showed significant increases in positive outlook, gratitude, motivation, calmness, and communication effectiveness and significant decreases in anger, resentfulness, depression, stress symptoms, time pressure, and morale issues. Nurses reported less muscle aches, sleeplessness, and headaches. Analysis of the Coates Caring Efficacy Scale measures showed statistically significant increases in nurses’ caring efficacy in areas of serenity in giving care, tuning in to patients, relating to patients, providing culturally congruent care, individualization of patient care, ability to decrease stressful situations, planning for multiple needs, and creativity in care. Conclusions: This small study suggests that Jin Shin Jyutsu self-care may be a valuable tool for nurses, to decrease stress, both emotional and physical, and increase caring efficacy. Administrators may wish to invest in such a program, which may improve quality of care delivered. The Watson caring model, which reminds us that nurses who care for themselves and feel good about their work can better care for others, proved an accurate framework for this study.
