ABSTRACT
In order to enhance the practical level of new nurses and improve the training effect and efficiency of new nurses, a management system of standardized training for new nurses has been established in The Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University since July 2016. A standardized training program including basic and professional training, theoretical and practical training has been developed. Based on the established mobile management system and through the combination of online and offline training, a two-year standardized training was carried out for 289 new nurses. The theoretical test and site-based comprehensive skills test for graduation examination were conducted in July 2018. The results showed that the training bases and trained nurses held a positive attitude towards the standardized training mode and the completion rate of training program in each stage was 100%. This training mode has an excellent training effect and can ensure the implementation of training programs and the improvement of training efficiency.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the correlation between parents′ posttraumatic growth, mental resilience and family functioning in children with autism spectrum disorder.Methods:Using the convenience sampling method, 169 parents of children with autism spectrum disorders were selected. General data questionnaire, Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD - RISC) and Family Assessment Device (FAD) were investigated.Results:The total PTGI score of parents of children with autism spectrum disorder was 58.79±18.92. The scores of appreciation of life, new possibilities, personal strength, relating to others and spiritual change were 19.49±6.15, 10.46±4.59, 9.05±3.32, 7.79±3.65, 12.01±3.83. The PTGI score of 37.3% parents was lower than 52, which was at a low level. Parents in the high score (> 74) group and the low score (< 52) group had statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) in the total score of CD - RISC and scores in all dimensions, as well as the differences in the scores of the four dimensions of FAD, namely problem solving, communication, role and behavior control. The total score of PTGI of parents was positively correlated with the total score of CD - RISC and the scores of its all dimensions ( r values were 0.201-0.317, P<0.05), and negatively correlated with the scores of Problem Solving, Communication and Behavioral Control of FAD ( r values were -0.233 - -0.196, P<0.05). Conclusions:The parents of children with autism spectrum disorder have an average level of posttraumatic growth. People with better mental resilience and healthier family functions have higher post-traumatic growth level.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of transitional care by a nurse-led multidisciplinary team (MDT) on clinical outcomes and quality of life of patients with ankylosing spondylitis. METHODS: A randomized control study design was used. Subjects were allocated randomly to an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received intensive transitional care by a nurse-led MDT, whereas the control group received routine nursing care. Disease activity, spinal mobility, comprehensive function, health service utilization, and quality of life were assessed at the baseline and at six months with the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index, the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), a health service utilization questionnaire and version 2 of the Short Form-36 health survey. RESULTS: Compared with the baseline, the BASDAI, BASFI, emergency visits, hospitalizations, hospitalization days, and bodily pain, vitality, mental health, total score, and average score of version 2 of the Short Form-36 health survey were improved in the experimental group (p < .05), whereas only bodily pain, vitality, and role-emotional were improved in the control group p < .05). At six months, the experimental group exhibited significantly more improvement on the BASDAI, BASFI, hospitalizations, all domains except Role-physical as well as total score and average score p < .05) compared with the control group. CONCLUSION: A MDT-based nurse-led transitional care improves clinical outcomes and quality of life of patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Future research should be carried out on modes of follow-up and family support.

Objective To construct the continuing nursing management model for lung cancer chemotherapy complications based on m-health. Methods Literature research, qualitative interviews and expert group meeting were used to build the continuing nursing management model for lung cancer chemotherapy complications based on m-health. Results The nursing management model of lung cancer chemotherapy complications including service objectives, service providers, service objects, service time, service flow, service platform and related personnel responsibilities were determined. Conclusions The continuing nursing management model for lung cancer chemotherapy complications based on m-health has strong scientific and practical characteristics, which is helpful for patients to timely monitor the occurrence of complications of chemotherapy, access the corresponding prevention and intervention measures.
