Objective To understand the incidence of stigma in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, and to explore its influencing factors, so as to provide a basis for scientific management of non-dialysis CKD patients. Methods Convenience sampling method was used to select non-dialysis CKD patients hospitalized in the Department of Nephrology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University between December 2019 and December 2020 as the research subjects. The general information questionnaire, Social Impact Scale and Social Support Rating Scale were used to investigate, and logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of stigma in CKD patients without dialysis. Results A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and 272 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 90.67%. The age of the patients ranged from 15 to 83 years old, with an average of (38.34±13.64) years old. The disease course ranged from 1 month to 18 years, with a median of 3 years. The patients’ stigma score ranged from 23 to 86 points, with an average score of (40.14±1.67) points, of which 101 patients had a score of ≥48 (with stigma), accounting for 37.13%. Logistic regression analysis showed that gender [odds ratio (OR)=1.871, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.018, 3.347), P=0.042], place of residence [OR=2.991, 95%CI (1.645, 5.824), P=0.001], personal monthly income [OR=0.575, 95%CI (0.260, 0.857), P=0.013], received CKD self-management education or not [OR=0.468, 95%CI (0.258, 0.843), P=0.011], and social support level [OR=0.418, 95%CI (0.230, 0.737), P=0.003] were influencing factors of stigma in CKD patients without dialysis. Conclusion The stigma of non-dialysis CKD patients is at a moderate level. Female, living in rural areas, personal monthly income ≤ 3000 yuan, not receiving CKD self-management education, and low social support level are risk factors for stigma in non-dialysis CKD patients.
ObjectiveTo analyze the current the sense of shame and its influencing factors in patients with epilepsy. Methods The research subjects selected information from 103 epilepsy patients who were hospitalized at the Affiliated Brain Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. The self-made General Information Questionnaire, social impact scale (SIS), social avoidance and distress scale, self-concealment scale and self-esteem scale were used to collect information. Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation between the score of SIS and the scores of social avoidance and distress scale, self-concealment scale and self-esteem scale Multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the factors affecting SIS score.Statistically, P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results The score of SIS was (58.40±12.649) .According to statistical analysis of Pearson’s results, the SIS score of patients with epilepsy was found to be positively correlated with the scores in the three tables above (all P<0.05). Multiple Regression analysis analysis showed that family income, social avoidance and distress scale, self-concealment scale and self-esteem scale were the influential factors of SIS score in epilepsy patients (all P<0.05). ConclusionClinical workers should pay close attention to the psychological changes of patients with epilepsy and do a good job in psychological nursing, so as to improve the quality of life of patients.
