    ¿Por qué se dice que la gente ya no lee? Y si esto fuera así ¿Por qué ya no lee la gente? ¿Qué es la gente? Estas y otras preguntas son las que tratamos de responder en esta nota, intentando desentrañarnos del sentido común y tomando cierto reparo en algunos detalles.Facultad de Periodismo y Comunicación Socia

    先天性異常,如赫爾斯普隆氏病(Hirschsprung's disease)、肛門閉鎖( imperforate anus)、共泄腔外翻(bladder exstrophy)等,常使兒童留置一人工 造瘻口,若沒有詳加注意,就有可能導致一些合併症,如造瘻口狹窄( stomal stenosis)、脫出(prolapse)、回縮(retraction),造口周團疝氣( peristomal hernia)、皮膚問題(skin problem)、壞死(necrosis)、出血( hemorrhage)、感染或膿瘍(infection or abscess)、穿孔(perforation)、及 縫綫裂開(suture separation)等,因此護理人員在照顧這些病童時,必須 要瞭解疾病的病理過程,以及兒童發展上的一問題,才能提供他們適當的護理照顧與 指引

    Uncertainty, Posttraumatic Stress, and Health Behavior in Young Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors

    No full text
    Background. Young adult survivors of childhood cancer are at risk for medical late effects, some of which can be managed through health promotion behaviors. However, chronic uncertainty about the future can lead to the development of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) that can interfere with health promotion behaviors. Objectives: To test a mediating model for the relationships among uncertainty, PTSS, and health promotion behaviors in young adult survivors of childhood cancer. Methods: The design was cross-sectional correlational. A convenience sample was used, and the data were collected using a mailed survey. Study measures included the Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale-Community Form, the Posttraurnatic Stress Disorder Index, and the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II. Results: Forty-six ( 51.1%) of the eligible survivors responded to the invitation to participate in the study.. The analysis was based on data from 45 survivors. The results show that the relationship between PTSS and health promotion behaviors was mediated by uncertainty. Discussion: Uncertainty is a suitable target for theory-based nursing interventions used to boost health promotion behaviors in young adult survivors of childhood cancer

    本研究的主要目的有二:(一)為了解青年期兒童癌症存活者的疾病不確定感和創傷 後壓力的情形,及(二)檢驗不確定感和創傷後壓力兩者間的關係。本研究為一橫斷 式相關性的設計,以問卷調查法收集資料。研究工具主要有二:(一)密歇兒疾病不 確定感的社區(MUIS- C)量表,用來測量不確定感;(二)加州洛杉磯大學創傷後壓 力障礙指標(PTSDI)量表,用來測量創傷後壓力。受訪對象中有46位(回收率51.5%) 寄回問卷,有效問卷為45份。研究結果:不確定感的平均得分為51.3(標準差:14.5 ,範圍:23-90);創傷後壓力的平均得分為15.7(標準差:11.0,範圍:0−43 )。不確定感與創傷後壓力有顯著的正相關(r=.40, p=.039)。密歇兒的再概念化的疾 病不確定感理論(Re-conceptualization of Uncertainty in Illness Theory)和青 年期的發展理論可以用來解釋本研究的發現。密歇兒再概念化的疾病不確定感理論可 以做為將來研究的指引。 The purposes of this study were to understand the levels of uncertainty and posttraumatic stress and to examine their relationships in young adult survivors of childhood cancer. A cross- sectional correlational design was used in this study. Mailed survey was the data collection method. The Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale- Community Form was the measure of uncertainty. The University of California at Los Angeles Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Index was the measure of posttraumatic stress. A total of 46 (51.1%) survivors responded to the survey and the analysis was based on data from 45. Participants reported a mean 51.3 (SD=14.5, range= 23 to 90) level of uncertainty; and a mean 15.7 (SD=11.0, range=0 to 43) level of posttraumatic stress. Uncertainty was positively correlated with posttraumatic stress (r=.40, p= .039). The re-conceptualization of the Uncertainty in Illness Theory (UIT) and developmental perspectives can explain the relationships between uncertainty and posttraumatic stress in the young adult survivors of childhood cancer. The re-conceptualization of UIT can serve as a guide for future studies
