ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the application effect of objective structured clinical examination (OSCE)-based situational simulation case teaching on Nursing Fundamentals practical training. Methods:Using convenient sampling method, two undergraduate nursing classes of Batch 2018 in Hubei University of Chinese Medicine were chosen as the study objects. They were divided into observation group with 45 students and control group with 43 students through ball touching method. The control group used traditional teaching method, on this basis, the observation group used OSCE-based situational simulation case teaching. At the end of the semester, the results of theoretical assessment, operational skills assessment, humanistic care, health education achievements of the two groups of nursing students and students’ evaluation of the new teaching method in the observation group. SPSS 22.0 was used for t test. Results:The sores of theoretical assessment, operational skills and humanistic care assessment in the observation group were (81.01±8.53), (92.69±3.87) and (11.73±1.59), and the corresponding sores in control group were (76.94±9.74), (91.21±2.70) and (10.79±1.36). The nursing students in the observation group had significantly higher scores than the control group in above mentioned aspects ( P<0.05). In the observation group, 45 students (100.0%) believed that this teaching method could stimulate learning interest and comprehensively deal with clinical problems, 43 students (95.6%) thought that this teaching method could improve team cooperation ability, only one person (2.2%) did not agree that this teaching method could help to form critical thinking, and 42 students (93.3%) said that the teaching hours of this teaching method could be appropriately increased. Conclusion:The OSCE-based situational simulation case teaching may effectively improve the teaching quality of the nursing students and mobilize their learning activities.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of the modular teaching for nursing students based on WeChat in the comprehensive training before the practice.Methods The undergraduate students of nursing were randomly divided into 5 classes,among which class 1,2,3 as the control group,and class 4,5 as the experimental group.The control group used the traditional ‘Case Teaching Method',taking the group as a unit to practice the clinical nursing skills individually;while the experimental group took the method which integrated individual nursing skills and practical materials with humanistic qualities in clinical cases.They conducted practical training by dividing the learning module with the ‘representative patients',using WeChat as the learning and exchange platform andbuilding modular training model.After the training,the results were evaluated by the score sheet for integrated skills,a critical-thinking scale and the learning model questionnaire.The data was analyzed by T-Test and Chi-Square inspection.Results All of the nursing students were willing to use WeChat for autonomous learning.The scores of the nursing students in the experimental group were higher than those in control group in the abilities of judgement,communication,operation and introspection.The difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).In addition to the cognitive maturity,the scores of experimental group were higher than those in control group in the searching for truth,opening mind,abilities of analysis and integration and self-confidence in critical thinking and desire for knowledge,The difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05);Also the proportion of experimental group was higher than the control group in students' attitude to study,knowledge acquisition and practical training mode.The difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion The implementation of nodular teaching mode based on WeChat is beneficial to improve the clinical comprehensive ability of nursing students,and help to train the high quality nursing talents who meet the needs of clinical practice.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the value of monochromatic curve features parameters in assessing various types of upper urinary calcium calculi in vivo on dual-energy CT(DECT).Methods Total 55 calcium calculi underwent dual-source CT in dual-energy mode were analyzed retrospectively.According to the result of infrared spectrometer,four types of calcium calculi were seen in this study:group 1(COM,12),group 2(COM+COD,9),group 3(COM+CaP,8),group 4(COM+COD+CaP,26).For each stone,mono-chromatic images from 40 keV to 190 keV(interval of 10 keV)were reconstructed.We used the different single spectral CT values and curve slope to differentiate of various types of calcium calculi.Results The parameters of the different single spectral CT values and curve slope were significantly different among the four groups.110 keV could differentiate the most groups.The curve slopes of group 1 with group 2 and group 3,group 2 with group 4,group 3 with group 4 were significantly different.Conclusion The spectral curve features parameters is helpful in the characterization of various types of calcium calculi.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore a clear picture of the health human resources allocation in tertiary general hospitals in Beijing ,and propose strategies to optimize the configuration of human resources at the same level hospitals ,so as to improve the medical service quality for society. Methods Basic operational data and human resources configuration of 16 tertiary general hospitals with more than 800 beds in Beijing were col?lected by using clustering sampling and literature review ,and then a descriptive analysis of the human resource configuration data at the same level hospitals was carried out by SPSS18.0 and Excel2010. Results The number of patients increased year by year,but the average days of hospitaliza?tion showed a downward trends during 2009?2011. According to the previous way of beds to determine personnel ,there was significantly different from the actual situation. A significant quantitative correlation was foung between the physicians and the nurses,pharmacists,medical laboratory technician,and the ratio between physicians and these staffs is stable. Conclusion With the development of hospital service and increase of health human resources,health manpower ratio has changed significantly in tertiary general hospitals. A stable proportion of physicians can be used as the reference standard for hospital human resources configuration at the same level hospitals.
ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the status of intensive care unit-acquired lower respiratory tract infection (ICU-LRTI),and the distribution characteristics of pathogens,so as to provide the basis for taking preventive and control meas-ures,and scientific diagnosis and treatment for patients.Methods Targeted monitoring data on healthcare-associated infec-tion (HAI)in ICUs of 32 hospitals in a province in 2013 were investigated retrospectively.Results The incidence of ICU-LRTI was 5.79%,ventilator usage rate was 31.25%,incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP)was 26.93‰;There was no linear correlation between ventilator usage rate and incidence of VAP(r=0.160,P=0.380).A total of 1 593 pathogens causing LRTI were detected,the major were gram-negative bacteria (75.77 %,n=1 207),followed by gram-positive bacteria(18.21%,n=290),fungi(5.90%,n=94),Mycoplasma pneumonia and other pathogens(0.12 %,n= 1 for each).The top five detected pathogens causing LRTI were Acinetobacter baumannii ,Pseudomonas aeruginosa ,Staph-ylococcus aureus ,Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli ,accounting for 25.49%,15.26%,14.63%,13.37% and 5.09% respectively.Conclusion Targeted monitoring on ICU is helpful for realizing healthcare-associated LRTI, each hospital should conduct targeted monitor to find out the causes of HAI,as well as improve the awareness of VAP among ICU health care workers.
