ABSTRACT
Objective The nursing treatment ability scale of patients with nuclear radiation damagein the hospital was developed to provide an evaluation basis for improving the nursing ability of nurses with nuclear radiation damage. Methods The scale was prepared by literature review, expert interview and expert consultation, and a total of 330 clinical nurses from a third-class hospital was randomly selected as the research objects. The scales were issued for item analysis and reliability and validity test. Results The scales were divided into 6 dimensions, including basic knowledge of nuclear radiation damage, specialized equipment use ability, specialized ward management ability, basic nursing ability, specialized nursing ability and self-ability recognition, with 51 items. After exploratory factor analysis, there were 6 principal components, and the cumulative interpreted variance was 70.757%. The χ2, df, χ2/df, CFI, IFI, TLI, NFI, PNFI, PCFI, RMSEA fitting indexes of confirmatory factor analysis were all acceptable. Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.976, the retest reliability was 0.823, and the S-CVI (S-CVI/UA) was 0.84. The evaluation content validityS-CVI (S-CVI/AVE) was 0.98, and the content validity I-CVI of the item level was 0.78～1.00. Conclusion The items and dimension Settings of this scale have been tested, and all indicators met the requirements. The reliability and validity test results were good. It can be used as a scale for preliminary evaluation of hospital nursing ability of patients with nuclear radiation damage.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the causes of puncture wound infections induced by the high pressure resistant injectable PICC catheter in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and management measures.Methods:linical data of 75 patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation who were treated with the high pressure resistant injectable PICC catheter in our hospital from Nov.2017 to Nov.2019 were retrospectively analyzed.According to whether there were puncture wound infections, patients were divided into the infection group(n=26)and the non-infection group(n=49). Bacterial culture results of the infection group were recorded, and the related factors for puncture wound infections caused by the injectable PICC catheter were analyzed.Effective strategies to prevent high-risk factors, treatment frequency, treatment effect and healing time for patients with different degrees of puncture wound infections were discussed.Results:There were 26 patients in the infection group.The proportions of bacteria types associated with PICC catheter-related infections, in descending order, were as follows: Staphylococcus aureus(46.51%), Klebsiella pneumoniae(30.77%), Corynebacterium(15.38%)and others(7.69%). Significant differences were found in materials used, season of tube placement, timing of dressing changes, duration of catheterization, success rate of first tube placement and condition of dressing films between the non-infection and infection groups( t=5.5, 4.9, 5.0, 13.6, 9.4 and 6.2, all P<0.05). Logistic multi-factor analysis showed that non-U-shaped fixation, delay in dressing changes, long duration of tube placement, low success rate of first tube placement, and loose dressing films were the high-risk factors for PICC catheter-related infections( OR=2.78, 2.42, 3.16, 2.66 and 2.32, all P<0.05). Compared with patients with moderate and mild infections, patients with severe infections had a higher frequency of treatment, a lower total effectiveness rate and a longer healing time( F=10.353, 8.775 and 12.341, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Materials, timing of dressing changes, catheterization time, success rate of first tube placement and condition of dressing films are the high-risk factors for puncture wound infections caused by high pressure resistant injectable PICC catheters in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.Developing effective intervention strategies can help control the incidence of wound infections.
