ABSTRACT
Objective@#To construct an evidence-based nursing plan for stroke patients with dysphagia for nursing by searching guidelines and using Delphi method.@*Methods@#The evidence-based nursing plan for stroke patients with dysphagia was constructed by literature review and guideline search. 15 experts from neurology, rehabilitation and nursing were selected to participate in two rounds Delphi consultation.@*Results@#The two-round response rates were 15/15. The expert authority coefficient was 0.877. The coordination coefficients were 0.180, 0.132 and 0.185 (P<0.05). The final plan included 4 first-grade indicators, 14 second-grade indicators and 20 third-grade indicators.@*Conclusion@#The evidence-based nursing intervention plan for stroke patients with dysphagia based on Delphi method is reliable, which can provide reference for the rehabilitation nursing of stroke patients with dysphagia.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the symptom clusters and their effect on daily life among the adolescents with osteosarcomaduring chemotherapy. Methods A total of 127 adolescents with osteosarcoma undergoing chemotherapy were enrolled and investigated by using the Chinese version of the M.D.Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI-C).Then exploratory factor analysis and regression analysis were used to identify symptom clusters and the associations of symptom clusters and daily life respectively. Results For adolescents with osteosarcoma during chemotherapy, the high incidence of symptoms are loss of appetite[96.06％(122/127)], nausea[94.49％(120/127)] and fatigue[91.33％(116/127)], the severe sympyoms are loss of appetite[4.00(3.00,5.00) points], fatigue [4.00(3.00,5.00) points] and nausea[3.5(3.00,5.00) points]. Four symptom clusters were identified: gastrointestinal symptom cluster, pain-related symptom cluster, respiratory symptom cluster and neuro symptom cluster. Symptom clusters except neuro symptom cluster were predictors of distress in daily life. Conclusions The incidence of symptoms in adolescents with osteosarcoma during chemotherapyis high. Several symptom clusters significantly affect their daily life . Medical staff should pay attention to the symptom clusters and provide effective symptom management to improve patients'quality of life.
