CINAHL, PsycINFO, PubMed, and Scopus databases were searched for articles published from 2008 to 2019. Eleven studies involving 1,613 participants were included. The five factors identified comprised spirituality, illness belief, health literacy, social interaction and communication, and social and family support. The factor regarding social and family support was a significant factor resulting in a healthy level of family functioning. Family was the primary support system for children living with thalassemia and their whole family. Interestingly, illness belief, spirituality and magic as a source of family power, could lessen the burden and allow a stronger sense of control to transcend through difficult times. These five factors should be integrated in interventions designed to enhance family functioning.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: A qualitative study was conducted with Thai Muslims in the South of Thailand. The research used purposive sampling to select participants for in-depth interviews. Thirteen participants who were diagnosed at least one year and able to communicate verbally in Thai were recruited. Data were analyzed by content analysis. RESULTS: Three themes emerged from life experiences of Thai Muslims with T2DM: “Before diagnosis”, “When facing the diagnosis” and “Living with the unwelcome guest (diabetes)”. During “Before diagnosis”, the participants reflected the primary sign with major symptoms. For “When facing the diagnosis”, the participants reflected their feeling as “unwelcome guest” which referred to undesirable visitors who intrude into their home unexpectedly. It can be categorized in 3 sub-themes which were “unexpected”, “annoying” and “God sent”. In “Living with the unwelcome guest (diabetes)”; there were 3 sub-themes: “finding ways to get rid of the unwelcome guest” (various self-care behaviors in controlling blood sugar level), “discouraged by the disease” (lost their hope in fighting against their uncontrolled blood sugar levels) or feeling tired in taking control of food (when all the things that were done did not work), and “To bear it” (a feeling after being discouraged after unsuccessfully controlling the disease and deciding to ignore it or let it be). CONCLUSION: These findings reflected that Thai Muslims with T2DM struggled with the disease, could not manage their life with it, and got less support from both family and the community. Thus, health care professionals need to provide cultural sensitive care specific for Thai Muslims.","PeriodicalId":92144,"journal":{"name":"The Bangkok medical journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45438655","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}

The principal two components analysis was used to assess the construct validity and reliability of the 20-item scale. The HIV health literacy test is to assess the health literacy needed to participate in HIV care. RESULTS: A total of 42 participants were included in this study. The mean age was 44.95 ± 12.31 years old, 54.8 % were female and 42.8% of the participants graduated with a bachelor’s degree.

RESULTS: Approximately 80% of the silicosis patients can live life at a moderate to poor quality of life, and 83.2% of the silicosis patients had abnormal PEFR. In-depth interviews implemented with FIFE methods revealed that most of the silicosis patients are aware that silicosis is incurable but preventable. Additionally, it was known among workers that changing occupation might be necessary when diagnosed with the disease. Annual chest x-rays and medical checkup by physicians are considered to be the most practiced for silicosis patients. The relation between %PEFR and QOL showed low correlation (r = 0.05). In addition, the relation between %PEFR and stress level also showed low correlation (r = 0.07).

MATERIALS AND METHODS: A single-center, prospective, cohort study was conducted to compare the STSG survival rates of gauze-based and foam-based NPWDs at Days 7 and 30 post-surgery. Sixty-nine patients underwent STSG and NPWD procedures. In all, 79 wounds required dressing: 42 had a foam-based NPWD applied, while the remaining 37 wounds had a gauze-based NPWD. Wall-suctioned, continuously negative pressure was applied at -100 mmHg for 7 days. RESULTS: At Day 7, the median graft survivals of the foam- and gauze-based NPWDs were 89.74% and 87.63%, respectively. At 30 days, the median graft survival for the foam- and gauze-based NPWDs were 95.2% and 92.01%, respectively. There was no statistical difference in the graft survival of the 2 groups. The success rate of graft survival for the gauze-based NPWD proved to not be inferior to that of foam-based NPWD. CONCLUSION: Gauzed-based NPWD is non-inferior to foam-based NPWD in terms of STSG survival. Gauze can be used as an alternative NPWD for STSG immobilization.","PeriodicalId":92144,"journal":{"name":"The Bangkok medical journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44222009","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}
