Psychiatric nurses have played a significant role in disseminating cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Western countries; however,\nin Japan, the application, practice, efficiency, and quality control of CBT in the psychiatric nursing field are unclear. This study\nconducted a literature review to assess the current status of CBT practice and research in psychiatric nursing in Japan. Three\nEnglish databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO) and two Japanese databases (Ichushi-Web and CiNii) were searched\nwith predetermined keywords. Fifty-five articles met eligibility criteria: 46 case studies and 9 comparative studies. It was found\nthat CBT took place primarily in inpatient settings and targeted schizophrenia and mood disorders. Although there were only a\nfew comparative studies, each concluded that CBT was effective. However, CBT recipients and outcome measures were diverse,\nand nurses were not the only CBT practitioners in most reports. Only a few articles included the description of CBT training\nand supervision. This literature review clarified the current status of CBT in psychiatric nursing in Japan and identified important\nimplications for future practice and research: performing CBT in a variety of settings and for a wide range of psychiatric disorders,\nconducting randomized controlled trials, and establishing pre- and post qualification training system....

Background: Epidemiological data on the prevalence of headache in nursing staff in Mainland China are lacking.\nWe therefore performed a study to assess the prevalence of headache, and factors associated with headaches, in\nnursing staff in three hospitals in North China.\nMethods: Stratified random cluster sampling was used to select 1102 nurses from various departments in three\nhospitals. A structured questionnaire was used to collect epidemiological data, headache characteristics and\nassociated factors.\nResults: The response rate was 93.0%. Among nursing staff, the 1-year prevalence of primary headache disorders\nwas 45.3%, of migraine 14.8% (migraine with aura 3.4%, migraine without aura 11.4%), of tension-type headache\n(TTH) 26.2%, of chronic daily headache (CDH) 2.7%. Multivariate analysis showed that seniority (�5 years) was a risk\nfactor for migraine (OR 2.280), obesity (BMI � 25) was a risk factor for TTH and CDH (OR 1.684 and 3.184), and age\n(�40 years) was a risk factor for CDH (OR 8.455). Nurses working in internal medicine were more likely to suffer CDH\nthan those in other departments. Working a greater number of night shifts was also associated with increased\nprevalence of headache.\nConclusion: The prevalence of primary headache disorders in nurses is higher than that in the general population\nin China, and occupational factors may play an important role. Therefore, the prevalence of headache in nurses\nshould be a focus of attention, and coping strategies should be provided. Such measures could contribute to\nimproving patient care....
Objective.The aim was to investigate adherence to asthma medication treatment, medication beliefs, and asthma control in relation\nto asthma follow-up consultations in asthmatics in the general population. A further aim was to describe associations between\nadherence, medication beliefs, and asthma control. Method. In the population-based West Sweden Asthma Study, data allowing\ncalculation of adherence for 4.5 years based on pharmacy records were obtained from 165 adult asthmatics. Additional data\nwere collected through questionnaires and structured interviews. Results. The mean adherence value for filled prescriptions for\nregular asthma medication was 68% (median 55.3%) but varied over the year under study. Adherence to combination inhalers\nwith corticosteroids and long-acting beta2 agonists was higher than adherence to single inhalers with corticosteroids only. More\nthan one-third of participants reported not having seen an asthma nurse or physician for several years. Regular asthma follow up\nconsultations were associated with both higher adherence and the belief that asthma medication was necessary but were not\nassociated with asthma control. Conclusions. Adherence to asthma medication treatment was low and varied over the year under\nstudy. The current study suggests that quality improvements in asthma care are needed if adherence to asthma medication is to be\nimproved....
