Objective To study the application effect of Snyder hope theory combined with Satir model in the rehabilitation therapy of young and middle-aged patients with stroke. Methods A total of 224 young and middle-aged patients with stroke admitted to Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University between August 2018 and August 2020 were divided into four groups (control group, Satir group, Snyder group, and combined group) according to the random number table method by taking admission time as sequence. All patients were given rehabilitation training on the basis of conventional treatment, and the Satir group was given group guidance of Satir model, the Snyder group was given hope therapy based on Snyder hope theory, and the combined group was given intervention combined Snyder hope theory with Satir model. All patients were continuously treated for six weeks. The scores of Herth Hope Index (HHI), Self-perceived Burden Scale (SPBS), exercise rehabilitation willingness questionnaire, Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile Ⅱ (HPLP Ⅱ), and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ) were compared among the four groups before and after intervention. Results There were 53, 52, 54, and 52 patients enrolled in the control group, the Satir group, the Snyder group, and the combined group, respectively. The differences among the four groups in basic information such as sex, age, and type of stroke and the scores of the above scales before intervention were not statistically significant (P>0.05). After intervention, the total scores of HHI scale (27.65±6.34, 30.54±6.85, 32.79±7.12, 35.08±7.63), scores of exercise rehabilitation willingness (39.85±8.16, 40.52±7.93, 40.17±8.25, 43.81±7.46), total scores of HPLP Ⅱ scale (149.87±26.08, 159.32±26.73, 165.89±28.01, 173.18±28.54), and scores of positive coping style of SCSQ scale (19.65±5.08, 22.46±5.29, 25.04±4.91, 28.45±5.12) of the four groups significantly increased compared with those before intervention (P<0.05), while the total scores of SPBS scale (27.35±4.92, 23.74±5.02, 25.16±4.98, 21.49±5.27) and scores of negative coping style of SCSQ scale (4.83±1.25, 3.71±1.02, 3.94±1.08, 4.13±0.96) significantly decreased compared with those before intervention (P<0.05); the scores of HHI scale, exercise rehabilitation willingness, HPLP Ⅱ scale, and positive coping style of SCSQ scale of the combined group were higher than those of the other three groups (P<0.05), while the score of SPBS scale was lower than that of the other three groups (P<0.05). Conclusions Snyder hope theory combined with Satir model for rehabilitation therapy of young and middle-aged patients with stroke can help to improve the hope level, reduce the self-perceived burden, and improve the exercise rehabilitation willingness, health behaviors and coping styles. In addition, it is of great significance for promoting the rehabilitation of patients.
Objective In order to improve the standing on the studies of Exercise Prescription (EP), a systematic review was conducted to provide reference and theory for further studies. Methods A broad computerized literature search of Medlin via Ovid, PubMed in all fields, Sport Discus, CINAHL, CAM, EMbase, EBM Cochrane Database of SR, and Web of Science was carried out till June 2008. Firstly, four categorical searches were conducted with the following keywords for searches: Exercise Prescription, Physical Fitness, Exercise Therapy, Fitness Assessment, Exercise Test and RCTs, and the searched results were checked by reviewers and duplicate results were removed. Then all titles were manually searched for potential inclusion in the review. Articles retrieved, review articles were examined for further relevant references. Results There were 318 relevant articles, however, the RCTs were only 7, and systematic review and meta-analysis were only one, respectively. Considering the importance and reference values there were 93 articles were included. 1970s was the developing age of EP; 1980s more specific EP were provided for many purposes; 1990s with the techniques developing of physical fitness, exercise therapy, fitness assessment and exercise test, EP for treating and rehabilitating more chronics and civilizing diseases were developed; 2000s the RCTs and CCTs were applied in the EP studies. Conclusions The developing of EP has close relationship with the developing of physical fitness, exercise therapy, fitness assessment, and exercise test. Although the RCTs researches in this field were limited, most of them were positive to support the advantage of EP. How to highly improve the advantages and greatly decrease the risk of EP is still valuable to study in the future.
ObjectiveTo investigate the static pulmonary function and cardiopulmonary exercise function of convalescent patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) after discharge.MethodsPulmonary function and cardiopulmonary exercise capacity of COVID-19 patients who admitted to our hospital from January to March 2020 were analyzed. The patients were divided into a non-critical group (3 cases of moderate illness, 2 cases of severe illness) and a critical group (5 cases of critical illness). Five of the 10 patients completed spirometry on day 14 after discharge. All patients performed spirometry, diffusion capacity and cardiopulmonary exercise test around 28 days post-discharge. Ten healthy subjects were used as a control group.ResultsForced expiratory volume in one second of percent predicted (FEV1%pred), forced vital capacity of percent predicted (FVC%pred), the FEV1/FVC ratio (FEV1/FVC), peak expiratory flow of percent predicted (PEF%pred) and mean forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% of percent predicted (FEF25%-75%%pred) of COVID-19 group were all within normal ranges, and there were no significant difference between COVID-19 group and the healthy group (P>0.05). Diffusion capacity (the carbon monoxide diffusion capacity of percent predicted, DLCO%pred) decreased in 3 patients. The peak oxygen uptake of percent predicted (PeakVO2%pred), oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES), Oxygen pulse of percent predicted (VO2/HR%pred) in COVID-19 group decreased and were statistically significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in ventilatory equivalents for carbon dioxide at anaerobic threshold (VE/VCO2@AT) and the slope of ventilatory equivalent for carbon dioxide (VE/VCO2 slope) between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared to the non-critical group, the critical group displayed significantly lower FVC%pred and VO2/HR%pred (P<0.05). A decrease in PeakVO2%pred was observed in critical group, but the difference did not reach statistical significance (P>0.05). The FVC%pred and PEF%pred were significantly improved in 5 COVID-19 convalescents on Day 28 after discharge when comparing with day 14 (P<0.05).ConclusionsIn the first month after discharge, recovered COVID-19 patients mainly presented decreased exercise endurance in cardiopulmonary function tests.There are also some survivors with reduced diffusion function, but the impaired lung function of COVID-19 patients might return over time.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy of exercise intervention on smoking cessation. MethodsCNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, Web of Science, PubMed and EMbase databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and randomized cross controlled trials (RCDs) on exercise intervention for smoking cessation from inception to September 2021. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using Stata 12.0 software. ResultsA total of 47 studies (35 RCTs and 12 RCDs) involving 5 130 subjects were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that acute exercise could significantly reduce the quitters’ desire to smoke (P<0.05), alleviate most of the withdrawal symptoms, and the effect of acute exercise was maintained for at least 30 minutes. Periodic exercise significantly reduced 7-day point abstinence and sustained abstinence rates in ex-smokers (P<0.05), and the effect of periodic exercise was maintained for at least 12 weeks, however, depression and stress were not found to be effectively relieved, and mood was not found to be significantly improved (P>0.05). ConclusionExercise intervention to quit smoking has a positive effect, however, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
Objective To evaluate the impacts of pulmonary rehabilitation at different levels of exercise intensity on health status of patients with moderate to severe COPD. Methods Thirty-two COPD patients treated with pulmonary rehabilitation by ergometry exercise were randomly assigned to exercise intensity level either by anaerobic threshold （AT group; n=15） or by maximum tolerate [high intensity group（HI group）; n=17]. Nine COPD patients without exercise training served as control. Bicycle exercise training was conducted in two separate days each week for 12 weeks. Spirometry，cardiopulmonary exercise testing，the St George’s Respiratory Questionnaire （SGRQ） were accessed before and after the rehabilitation program. Results Exercise intensity （%Wmax） was significantly higher in HI group than AT group （69%±14% vs 52%±7%，Plt;0.01）. Significant improvement of SGRQ scores after rehabilitation were found both in AT group （－11.91±15.48 U） and HI group （－8.39±9.49 U）. However，no significant difference was found between the two groups in the degree of improvement （Z=－0.540，P=0.589）. Symptoms and impacts subscale scores of SGRQ were decreased significantly in HI group，but only symptoms scores decreased significantly in AT group. The control group did not show any significant improvement in SGRQ scores. No statistically significant correlation was found between improvement of peak oxygen consumption per predicted (VO2peak%pre) and SGRQ scores. Conclusion Both pulmonary rehabilitation strategies by anaerobic threshold and by maximum tolerate can improve health status of COPD patients significantly with no significant difference between each other.
Non-specific neck pain is the most common type of neck pain. Without timely and effective treatment, majority of patients might develop chronic non-specific neck pain. In addition to pain, patients also suffer multiple dysfunctions. Considering the individual differences of patients, strategies of targeted exercise therapy based on the specific dysfunction of patients have attracted attention. In this paper, exercise therapies for common dysfunctions of patients with chronic non-specific neck pain, such as decreased mobility of cervical and thoracic spine, insufficient activation of deep cervical flexors, poor muscle strength and endurance, abnormal breathing pattern, and impaired proprioception are introduced, in order to provide clinical guidance for individual rehabilitation.
ObjectiveThis study aimed to compare the effects of aerobic training, resistance training, and aerobic training combined with resistance training on blood lipid levels for patients with hypertension using network meta-analysis. MethodsWe searched the CNKI, VIP, WanFang Data, PubMed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, and EMbase databases to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effects of exercise on blood lipid levels among patients with hypertension from inception to September 16th, 2021. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Stata 15.1 software and RevMan 5.0 software were then used to perform network meta-analysis. ResultsA total of 29 RCTs involving 2 519 patients were included. Compared with the control group, aerobic training (MD=?0.47, 95%CI ?0.62 to ?0.319, P<0.001), resistance training (MD=?0.37, 95%CI ?0.63 to ?0.11, P<0.05), and aerobic training combined with resistance training (MD=?0.61, 95%CI 0.88 to ?0.34, P=0.005) reduced total cholesterol levels; aerobic training (MD=0.14, 95%CI 0.08 to 0.20, P<0.001), resistance training (MD=0.10, 95%CI 0.02 to 0.19, P<0.05), and aerobic training combined with resistance training (MD=0.12, 95%CI 0.02 to 0.23, P=0.038) increased high-density lipoproteins; aerobic training (MD=?0.32, 95%CI ?0.48 to ?0.15, P=0.001), resistance training (MD=?0.19, 95%CI ?0.48 to ?0.01, P<0.05), and aerobic training combined with resistance training (MD=?0.40, 95%CI ?0.70 to ?0.11, P<0.05) reduced low-density lipoproteins. The SUCRA probability sorting results showed that aerobic training had the most significant effect on the improvement of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure; aerobic exercise combined with resistance training had the largest effect on total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoproteins, and high-density lipoproteins. ConclusionsAerobic training combined with resistance training is the most effective exercise method to improve blood lipid levels for patients with hypertension. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, the above conclusions are needed to be verified by more high-quality studies.
Most patients with end-stage renal disease choose maintenance hemodialysis to prolong survival. The clinical application of exercise therapy has a definite effect on maintenance hemodialysis patients, and can effectively improve their quality of life and promote rehabilitation. Individualized exercise therapy under the guidance of medical professionals has positive effects on patients’ physical and mental rehabilitation. This paper mainly summarizes the status of exercise, factors affecting exercise, exercise therapy, exercise and rehabilitation of maintenance hemodialysis patients, and reviews the impact of exercise therapy on the physical and mental health of maintenance hemodialysis patients, in order to provide some references for clinical intervention and prognosis studies.
ObjectivesTo systematically review the efficacy of high-intensity intermittent exercise (HIIE) on cardiac function, exercise capacity, quality of life and depression in patients with heart failure.MethodsPubMed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, EBSCOhost, EMbase, CBM, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on HIIE on cardiac function, exercise capacity, quality of life and depression in patients with heart failure from inception to April, 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias of included studies. Then, RevMan 5.3 software and Stata 15.1 software were used for meta-analysis.ResultsA total of 16 RCTs involving 549 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, compared with the control group, HIIE could increase peak oxygen consumption (MD=2.04, 95%CI 0.74 to 3.33, P=0.002), peak work rate (MD=12.85, 95%CI 1.17 to 24.52, P=0.03), left ventricular ejection fraction (MD=4.24, 95% CI 1.40 to 7.07, P=0.003), quality of life (MD=7.32, 95%CI 1.41 to 13.22, P=0.02), and the six minute walk distance (MD=42.46, 95%CI 20.40 to 64.52, P=0.000 2). However, there was no significant difference between two groups in the depression score (SMD=0.39, 95%CI ?0.52 to 1.31, P=0.40) and VE/VCO2 Slope (MD=0.12, 95%CI ?1.02 to 1.26, P=0.84).ConclusionsCurrent evidence shows that compared with routine exercise or moderate intensity exercise, HIIE can improve exercise capacity, quality of life and cardiac function in patients with heart failure, but there is no significant difference in improving depression. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify above conclusion.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the major chronic diseases that seriously endanger the health of residents in our country. Exercise is one of the effective interventions to improve the cardiopulmonary function and quality of life of COPD patients. An exercise prescription specifies the frequency, intensity, duration, mode, total exercise volume, and progression of exercise, forming a clear - purpose and systematic exercise guidance plan. Clinical pathways standardize and proceduralize the patient's diagnosis and treatment process. Developing an exercise prescription for the entire process of issuing and implementing exercise prescriptions for COPD patients helps to promote the application of exercise prescriptions and assist in the implementation of related work in primary - level medical institutions. Therefore, we invited a number of COPD experts and sports medicine experts to develop this clinical pathway in combination with domestic and international guidelines, consensuses, and personal experience. Its aims are to simplify the exercise prescription development process, reduce the required level of expertise, enhance the capacity of primary healthcare institutions, and facilitate the application of exercise prescriptions within these settings.
