ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the current situation and influencing factors of patients′ satisfaction with nursing humanistic care, and to provide reference for improving the quality of such care provided by hospitals.Methods:From July to August 2022, outpatients and inpatients in 30 provinces were selected by multi-stage stratified sampling as the survey objects. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on an online platform, using the general information questionnaire and Chinese version of methodist health care system nurse caring instrument revised by the research group. The latter instrument consists of 12 dimensions. namely care coordination, competence, teaching/learning, emotional support, respect for individuality, physical comfort, availability, helping/trusting relationship, patient/family engagement, physical environment, spiritual environment and outcomes. Descriptive analysis was performed on the data collected by the questionnaires, and independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the influencing factors of patient satisfaction. Results:A total of 107 hospitals were selected for questionnaire survey, including 86 tertiary hospitals and 21 secondary hospitals, and 29 108 valid questionnaires were recovered. The patient satisfaction with nursing humanistic care scored (5.40±0.86); the top three dimensions were competence (5.50±0.89), emotional support (5.47±0.88) and helping/trusting relationship (5.46±0.86); the lowest scoring dimensions were teaching/learning (5.38±1.01), spiritual environment (5.36±1.04) and patient/family engagement (5.11±1.28). Differences with gender, age, marital status, child status, educational level, occupation, place of residence, economic region, per capita monthly income of the family, type of medical insurance, medical department visited and surgery or not presented significant differences on the patient satisfaction with nursing humanistic care scores ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The satisfaction of patients with hospital′s nursing humanistic care in China was at the middle to upper level. In the future, health education for patients should be strengthened, and a mode of family-engaged nursing humanistic care should be constructed in line with the Chinese cultural background. In the process of nursing services, the particularity of patient groups should be considered to better meet their needs.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical value of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in staging of stage Ⅱ/Ⅲ middle and low rectal cancer. Methods The clinical and pathological data of 111 patients with middle and low rectal cancer who underwent surgical treatment were retrospectively analyzed. The NLR values along with various clinical factors and pathological parameters were also statistically analyzed, and then the relationship between preoperative NLR and various clinical factors was determined. All patients were divided into high and low groups based on NLR, with the cut-off value of 1.99. Then, the clinical, pathological parameters and disease-free survival of the two groups were analyzed. Results The maximum diameter of the tumor and the NLR value were positively correlated (P ＜ 0.05). The patients with high and low NLR had significant differences in age, stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ, N stage, pathological type, maximum diameter of the tumor, and disease-free survival (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Preoperative NLR values may be used as predictive values for the pathological parameters of stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ middle and low rectal cancer, and NLR may be an indicator of its prognostic assessment.
ABSTRACT
The incidence and mortality rate of colorectal cancer (CRC) in China have been increasing all the times. The "precision medicine" proposed in recent years is of great significance for the study of the occurrence, development, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of CRC. On the basis of molecular typing, circulating tumor DNA sequencing is used to diagnose, guide clinical treatment and evaluate the prognosis of CRC patients. However, there is still a lack of clinical trials with large samples on Chinese ethnicity. In order to treat CRC patients individually, genetic database of Chinese ethnicity is need to be established.
