Abstract

This study aims to investigate cultural integration and the impact of health music on patient care in Hainan’s medical institutes. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining qualitative insights from interviews and focus group with quantitative data from surveys. The qualitative data provided in depth understanding of participant’s’ and experiences, while the quantitative data, analyzed using ANOVA quantified the effectiveness of cultural integration and health music practices. The findings revealed that culturally integrated music therapy significantly enhances patient comfort, emotional wellbeing, and overall therapeutic outcomes. Patients reported feeling more connected and receptive to therapy when it included culturally familiar music. Quantitative analysis showed significant improvement in patient outcomes and staff wellbeing associated with higher effectiveness scores in cultural integration and health music practices. Culturally integrated music therapy has the potential to substantially improve patient outcomes and healthcare staff wellbeing. By addressing challenges such as language and music preferences, perceptions of traditional versus modern healing and limited awareness, healthcare providers can foster a more inclusive and effective environment.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
