ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the mediating effect of the regulatory emotional self-efficacy be-tween mindfulness and the level of anxiety in nurses. Methods A total of 1 124 clinical nurses were meas-ured with five facet mindfulness questionaire(FFMQ),regulatory emotional self-efficacy scale(RES),and Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS). Results The scores of mindfulness,regulatory emotional self-efficacy and anxiety were(118.75±10.70),(42.29±6.40)and(45.93±10.00)respectively.Mindfulness was positively correlated with the regulatory emotional self-efficacy(r=0.351,P<0.01)while negatively correlated with nur-ses' anxiety(r=-0.249,P<0.01).The regulatory emotional self-efficacy was negatively correlated with nur-ses' anxiety(r=-0.264,P<0.01).The regulatory emotional self-efficacy played a partial mediating role be-tween mindfulness and nurses' anxiety,which could explain 28.2% of the total effect.Conclusion The reg-ulatory emotional self-efficacy is a partial mediator between mindfulness and nurses' anxiety.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the efficacy of modified epley maneuver associated with betahistine for treating posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo(PC-BPPV).Methods 78 cases with unilateral PC-BPPV were divided into complexed therapy group(39 cases)and control group(39 cases)randomly.The complexed therapy group was treated by modified epley maneuver associated with betahistine 6mg per time,3 times daily for successive 1 month.the control group was treated by modified epley maneuver only.Results 78 patients after first treatment,56 cases were cured,control group(28 patients),complexed therapy group(28 cases),no statistically significant difference between the two groups.After 1 month of treatment,the control group were cured 30 cases,effective 3 cases,invalid 6 cases;the complexed therapy group were cured 37 cases,effective 1 case,invalid 1 case;complexed therapy group,the cure rate was 94.9％,significantly higher than the 76.9％ of control group(x2=4.3365,P＜0.05).Conclusion The modified epley maneuver associated with betahistine is effective to treat PCBPPV,which is worth being promoted.
ABSTRACT
Objective To know the situation of teaching and teacher preparation for nursing under-graduates, and then reference to reasonable clinical teaching mode. Methods Investigated clinical pre-ceptors from 30 hospitals by serf-designed questionnair to know their basic situation, and then investigated nursing undergruaduates who had enter school in 2004 to know their evaluation about their preceptors in the aspect of basic quality. Results In professional tides, most of the teachers are nurse-in-charge, and have been working over 10 years, but qualification certificates levels were low and 50% of them teaching. Experience was short and not qualified to the popurse of bachelors degree, nurse-in-charge and more than five years nursing experience. The ratio in thesis writing, teaching training and awards are rather low. There were teaching assessment from students, mainly in teaching and research initiative. Conclusions The qualities of nursing teachers should be defined and should be established standard teaching training system and qualification organization, the capabilities of teaching and research innovations should be improved.
ABSTRACT
Objective To construct competency models of health nurses. Methods The compe-tency models of health nurses based on eompetencies of health nurses by questionnaires survey of check-list and Behavioral Event Interview (BEI) was obtained. First, questionnaires survey of checklist was ad-ministrated and based on these results, coding competency dictionary was obtained through focus group discussions of professionals. Then the transcripts of BEI were coded on the basis of this competency dic-tionary. Results Significant difference existed in time and length of interview. The excellent nurses and common nurses were different in responsibility, professional knowledge and technique, initiative, emergency capability and rigourism. Conclusions The four factors, including service characteristic, cognitive style, professional particularity, tendency particularity, construct the competency models of health nurses.
