Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Researchers from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine Report on Findings in Psychology and Psychiatry (Qualitative Research On Tcm Complex Interventions-the Experience and Cognition of Chinese Patients)
2023 MAY 30 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Psychology & Psychiatry Daily -- Fresh data on Psychology and Psychiatry are presented
Article Description
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a complex intervention. The experience and cognition of patients in the process of diagnosis and treatment play an important role in understanding the components of a TCM intervention. This study aimed to identify the therapeutic components involved in a TCM complex intervention by interviewing patients with chronic conditions in China. Purposive sampling was used in this qualitative study. After providing informed consent, hospital patients suffering from chronic conditions were recruited to the semi-structured interviews. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed. Nvivo12 software was employed and thematic analysis was used to identify the key issues reported. From the 25 patients recruited into this study, 491 initial codes were generated. Four sub-themes emerged relating to patients' experiences: their physical experiences, psychological experiences, social experiences and patients’ self-management. Additionally, four sub-themes related to patients' cognition of TCM complex intervention were identified: the holistic concept of "treatment targets the root of the disease", individualized treatment, diversity and comprehensiveness of TCM therapy, and doctor-patient communication. Patients' TCM experience included multiple components: biological, psychological, social, cognitive and behavioural, which potentially contribute to specific and non-specific effects. Clinical research to evaluate the effectiveness of TCM should consider using mixed-methods to explore these components.
