ABSTRACT
Objective To translate the English version of the Nursing Profession Self-Efficacy Scale into Chinese,and to test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version. Methods The reliability and validity of the Chinese version of scale was tested among 480 nurses from Tianjin First Central Hospital. Results The revised Chinese version of the Nursing Professional Self-Efficacy Scale contained 19 entries, the Cronbach′s α coefficient was 0.95, the test-retest reliability was 0.91. Conclusions The revised Chinese version of the Nursing Profession Self-Efficacy Scale has acceptable reliability and validity. It can be used to measure the Nursing Profession Self-Efficacy among nurses in China.
ABSTRACT
Objective To systematically evaluate the effects of prone position ventilation on newborn with respiratory distress syndrome.Methods We searched databases including PubMed,EMBASE,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,CBM,CNKI,Wanfang and VIP.We included all randomized controlled trials and randomized crossover trials of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.Studies were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria,extracting data and assessing quality.Then RevMan 5.3 software was used to analyze the data.Results Ten studies included seven randomized controlled trials and three randomized crossover trials,and 500 patients were included.The results of meta-analysis showed that in prone position ventilation group SaO2[MD=2.41,95％CI(0.87,3.95),P=0.002],PaO2[MD=5.20,95％CI(3.04,7.36),P＜0.001],Pa2//FiO2[MD=24.40,95％CI(8.35,40.44),P=0.003],the risk of pneumothorax [RR =0.10,95％ CI (0.01,0.76),P=0.03] and intracranial hemorrhage [RR =0.41,95％ CI (0.20,0.83),P=0.01]and duration of mechanical ventilation [MD=-23.22,95％CI(-38.30,-8.14),P=0.003] compared with supine positiongroup had significantly statistical difference;however there was no significant difference in ventilator-associated pneumonia[RR=0.72,95％CI(0.48,1.09),P=0.12] between two groups.Conclusion Prone position ventilation is effective to improve SaO2,PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2,shorten duration of mechanical ventilation and reduce the risk of pneumothorax and intracranial hemorrhage in newborn with respiratory distress syndrome.While it could not effectively reduce incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia.Due to the limitations of the quality of studies included,multi-centered randomized controlled trials with large sample size are needed in the future to evaluate the effects of prone position ventilation on neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.
ABSTRACT
Objective To translate the English version of Type 2 Diabetes Stigma Assessment Scale(DSAS-2) into Chinese,and to test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of DSAS-2. Methods The DSAS-2 was translated and adapted according to Chinese culture following the translation and back-retranslation procedure.The reliability and validity of the Chinese version of DSAS-2 was tested among 294 patients with type 2 diabetes. Results The Chinese version of DSAS-2 included three subscales: Treated Differently (6 items), Blame and Judgment (7 items), and Self-stigma (6 items) and contained a total of 19 items.The Cronbach α coefficient of the Chinese version of DSAS-2 was 0.879,the Cronbach α coefficient of three factors was 0.832,0.815 and 0.844,respectively;the test-retest reliability was 0.835. The content validity index was 0.916. The scores of DSAS-2 correlated with the scores of Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire 8- Item Scale and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item Scale (r =-0.452, 0.443, 0.412, P<0.01). Three factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis and could explain 55.75% of the total variance. Conclusions The Chinese version of DSAS-2 has acceptable reliability and validity,which can be used to evaluate stigma among patients with type 2 diabetes in China.
