In the symptom network，difficult to concentrate（rS=1.09） was a symptom with the highest strength，cognitive/fatigue symptom cluster（rS=0.92） was a symptom cluster with the highest average strength，and the top three symptoms with the highest bridge strength were fatigue（rBS=0.29），weight gain（rBS=0.23），and lack of interest in sex（rBS=0.22）. Conclusion There are various symptoms in breast cancer patients undergoing endocrine therapy. Difficulty in concentration is the core symptom for breast cancer patients，the cognitive/fatigue symptom cluster is the core symptom cluster，fatigue，weight gain，and lack of interest in sex are the bridge symptoms in the network analysis. Healthcare professionals can develop precise interventions for the core symptoms，symptom clusters and bridge symptoms so as to improve symptom management efficiency and outcomes.

The development and application of middle-range nursing theories based on the Neuman Systems Model：a literature research LIN Xiaohong, FANG Jiaxin, LIU Hongxia 2024, 21 (9):  1147-1152.  doi: 10.3761/j.issn.1672-9234.2024.09.019 Abstract ( 141 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (681KB) ( 2 )   Save Figures and Tables | References | Related Articles | Metrics Objective To investigate the development and application of middle-range nursing theories based on the Neuman Systems Model（NSM），and to provide reference for the research and practice of nursing theory in China. Methods Databases were searched including PubMed，Scopus，Embase，CINAHL，Web of Science，OVID，EBSCOhost，SinoMed，CNKI，Wanfang and VIP，and literatures related to middle-range nursing theory based on the NSM were screened. The data was extracted and summarized for the included literatures. Results A total of 13 middle-range theories published from 1991 to 2022 were included，which all originated from the United States. The main theory-generating approaches were deduction from theories and induction from research. Thirteen theories involved all or part of the core concepts of the NSM，and 8 theories employed the concept-theory-empirical frame diagram，4 theories had empirical research evidence，and 3 theories lacked of verification process. Conclusion The middle-range theories based on NSM are mostly developed according to concept-theory-empirical framework，which has a good guiding effect on stress and coping practice of different individuals and families.
