The groups were divided into HIIT and MICT groups, respectively, and they participated in high-intensity interval training and moderate-intensity continuous training for 3 months. Before and after the different interventions, the average BMI, vital capacity, and resting heart rate were measured.Results: There was no significant difference in BMI measurements between the two groups of obese college students before the intervention (P>0.05). Before and after the intervention, both groups showed a significant decrease in average BMI compared to before the intervention (P<0.05). After the intervention, the average BMI of the MICT group was significantly lower than that of the HIIT group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in vital capacity and resting heart rate measurements between the two groups of obese college students before the intervention (P>0.05). After different interventions, both groups showed a significant increase in average vital capacity and a significant decrease in average resting heart rate compared to before the intervention (P<0.05). After the intervention, the average resting heart rate of the MICT group was significantly lower than that of the HIIT group (P<0.05).Conclusion: Both high-intensity interval training and moderate-intensity continuous training can significantly improve BMI and cardiopulmonary function in obese college students, with moderate-intensity continuous training having certain advantages in improving BMI and resting heart rate.","PeriodicalId":511735,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Journal of Nursing","volume":"43 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140733018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background: Becoming a father is a significant life event that can bring about profound changes in a man's identity and lifestyle. However, there is currently a lack of research on the adaptation experiences of fathers of preterm infants.Design: A descriptive qualitative study was conducted. Methods: Thirteen fathers of preterm infants were recruited from June 2022 to April 2023 at Chongqing Children's Hospital in China. Participants were all first-time parents, and their infants had received treatment in neonatal intensive care units. Deep semi-structured interviews, guided by a questionnaire, were conducted to collect data. Inductive content analysis was used to analyze the data. Reporting followed COREQ guidelines. Results: The data analysis generated 28 themes, including 9 subordinate themes and 3 superordinate themes. The superordinate themes were \"Role preparation\", \"Post-traumatic adjustment\", and \"Growth adaptation\". Conclusion:Fathers of premature infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) face unique challenges during their child's hospitalization and in the initial three months following discharge. The father's ability to navigate these challenges and embrace the complex aspects of fatherhood signifies his adaptation to the role. Relevance to clinical practice: Healthcare providers should assess the role adaptability of fathers of preterm infants and provide timely and effective interventions to support parental emotional well-being and parenting behavior.","PeriodicalId":511735,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Journal of Nursing","volume":"47 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140733938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
