ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate current situation communication ability and training needs of standardized training nurses, in order to provide reference for improving the communication courses.@*Methods@#A cross-sectional study was conducted and randomized sampling method was used to choose 100 nurses who participated in standardized training in Chengdu Fifth People′s Hospital. Nurses' communication ability was evaluated by Nurse-Patient Communication Ability Scale, and whose training needs of communication were investigated.@*Results@#The average score of the Nurse-Patient Communication Ability Scale was 140.43±13.94. The educational background (t=-3.717, P<0.01), standardized training time (t=-2.812, P<0.01), and whether they had received communication training in the last year (t=2.231, P<0.05) had significant influence on nurse-patient communication ability. 88.00% (88/100) thought it necessary to carry out nurse-patient communication ability training during standardized training. Among them, 88.64% (78/88) hoped to carry out humanistic knowledge training, 65.91% (58/88) hoped that at least four training methods would be combined, and 44.32% (39/88) hoped that teachers from multiple disciplines would conduct training.@*Conclusions@#The nurse-patient communication ability of standardized training nurses needs to be improved. It is necessary to strengthen the theoretical research and curriculum design of training, pay attention to practical teaching, so that the training effect can be improved.

Objective To investigate current situation communication ability and training needs of standardized training nurses, in order to provide reference for improving the communication courses. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted and randomized sampling method was used to choose 100 nurses who participated in standardized training in Chengdu Fifth People′s Hospital. Nurses' communication ability was evaluated by Nurse-Patient Communication Ability Scale, and whose training needs of communication were investigated. Results The average score of the Nurse- Patient Communication Ability Scale was 140.43 ± 13.94. The educational background (t=-3.717,P﹤0.01), standardized training time (t=-2.812, P﹤0.01), and whether they had received communication training in the last year (t=2.231, P﹤0.05) had significant influence on nurse-patient communication ability. 88.00% (88/100) thought it necessary to carry out nurse-patient communication ability training during standardized training. Among them, 88.64% (78/88) hoped to carry out humanistic knowledge training, 65.91% (58/88) hoped that at least four training methods would be combined, and 44.32% (39/88) hoped that teachers from multiple disciplines would conduct training. Conclusions The nurse-patient communication ability of standardized training nurses needs to be improved. It is necessary to strengthen the theoretical research and curriculum design of training, pay attention to practical teaching, so that the training effect can be improved.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>This study was aimed to investigate the toxic effects of 3 nanomaterials, i.e. multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), graphene oxide (GO), and reduced graphene oxide (RGO), on zebrafish embryos.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The 2-h post-fertilization (hpf) zebrafish embryos were exposed to MWCNTs, GO, and RGO at different concentrations (1, 5, 10, 50, 100 mg/L) for 96 h. Afterwards, the effects of the 3 nanomateria on spontaneous movement, heart rate, hatching rate, length of larvae, mortality, and malformations ls were evaluated.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Statistical analysis indicated that RGO significantly inhibited the hatching of zebrafish embryos. Furthermore, RGO and MWCNTs decreased the length of the hatched larvae at 96 hpf. No obvious morphological malformation or mortality was observed in the zebrafish embryos after exposure to the three nanomaterials.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>MWCNTs, GO, and RGO were all toxic to zebrafish embryos to influence embryos hatching and larvae length. Although no obvious morphological malformation and mortality were observed in exposed zebrafish embryos, further studies on the toxicity of the three nanomaterials are still needed.</p>
