ABSTRACT
Objective@#To classify the characteristics of circadian type among clinical nurses and examine their relationships with presenteeism and work-related flow. @*Methods@#Using a cross-sectional design, 568 nurses were recruited through convenience sampling in January 2021 from three hospitals in Shandong Province, China. The data were collected using self-report measures, including the 11-item Circadian Type Inventory, Stanford Presenteeism Scale-6, and Work-Related Flow Inventory. Latent class analysis was performed to identify any clustering of circadian types. One-way analysis was performed to compare the differences between presenteeism and work-related flow in different circadian types. @*Results@#Four latent classes were identified, including high response class (14.4%), high flexible class (20.1%), high languid class (51.1%), and low response class (14.4%). Regarding presenteeism, the high languid class had higher scores than others. Regarding work-related flow, the scores of high flexible class were higher than those of high languid class, while the differences in all three dimensions were statistically significant. @*Conclusion@#Although the shift work mode is not expected to change, nursing managers could use circadian type as a predictive index to select and employ individuals for shift work to enhance work performance and provide sufficient support to staff who are intolerant to shift work.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the results of conservative treatment operation for two groups of tubal pregnancy with laparoscopy and laparotomy. Methods We disparted tubal pregnancy patients into two groups: laparoscopy group(418 cases from August 2001 to December 2004) and laparotomy group(182 cases from January 1998 to July 2001) ,and evaluated the clinical characteristics,the postoperative incidences of persistent ectopic pregnancy, the rate of intra-uterine pregnancy and the rate of ectopic pregnancy. Results In the laparoscopy group,only 1 case arised the postoperative incidences of persistent ectopic pregnancy. In the laparotomy group,6(3. 3% ) out of 182 arised(P 0. 05). Conclusion Laparoscopy has advantage over laparotomy therapy in the conservative operation of tubal pregnancy.
