Clinical nursing pathway improves the nursing satisfaction in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage: A randomized controlled trial protocol.

BACKGROUND: Cerebral hemorrhage (CH) is a very common cerebrovascular disorder in clinical practice. More and more studies reported that proper nursing care could promote the rate of treatment, and improve the prognosis after treatment. Clinical nursing pathway (CNP) refers to original nursing mode with good quality, outstanding efficiency, and low treatment spending. Few articles have reported the effect of CNP in patients with acute CH. The program is in urgent need of convinced evidence to prove the reliability. Thus, we perform this randomized controlled trial protocol and hypothesize that

Childhood Interpersonal Trauma and Sexual Satisfaction in Patients Seeing Sex Therapy: Examining Mindfulness and Psychological Distress as Mediators.

Mindful attention and awareness may promote sexual satisfaction. However, experiencing cumulative childhood interpersonal trauma (CCT; sexual abuse, neglect, etc.) is associated with distress, which might interfere with dispositional mindfulness and lead to lower sexual satisfaction. Although the concept of mindfulness emerged as an interesting variable to understand sexual difficulties, little empirical data are available on this topic. This study tested an integrative mediation model of the relation between CCT, psychological distress, dispositional mindfulness, and sexual satisfaction withi

Numbness of the lower lip does not adversely affect quality of life or patients' satisfaction after mandibular orthognathic surgery.

Measures of patient-reported quality of life (QoL) are increasingly being used to tailor services that are funded by Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG) in England. Mandibular osteotomies may result in altered sensation of the lower lip, but we know of limited evidence about the resulting effect on QoL. The modified Bristol orthognathic patient outcomes questionnaire was given to patients who had mandibular osteotomies at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, between March 2006 and April 2016. Questionnaires were collected at the final orthognathic postoperative appointment. The significan
