ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the mediating effect of organizational commitment on the relationship between perceived professional benefit and turnover intention among clinical nurses. Methods A total of 456 nurses from 3 hospitals in Hangzhou were investigated with Occupational Benefit Questionnaire,Organizational Commitment Scale and Turnover Intention Scale. Results The score of perceived professional benefit, organizational commitment and turnover intention were(135.41 ± 19.01), (16.10 ± 2.87),(76.28 ± 15.80) respectively. Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation between perceived professional benefit and organizational commitment(r=0.476, P<0.01),and a significant negative correlation to turnover intention(r=-0.313, P<0.01),and a significant negative correlation between organizational commitment and turnover intention(r=-0.525, P<0.01).Organizational commitment played a partial mediating effect between perceived professional benefit and turnover intention among nurses. Conclusions Nursing managers should attach an importance to enhance organizational commitment,and take effective measures to improve perceived professional benefit, as well as establish an effective incentive mechanism, fully mobilize positive factors to reduce the nurses ' turnover rate and stable the nursing team.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) combined with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy(3DCRT) for inoperable primary liver cancer.Methods Ninety-six such patients were prospectively randomized to TACE therapy alone group(TACE group-,47 patients) and TACE+3DCRT group(combined group-,49 patients).Results The overall 1-,2-,3-year survival rate was 82%,63%,43% in the combined group.It was 55%,28%,15% in the TACE group.The difference between the two groups was significant(P0.05).Conclusion Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization combined with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy is more effective than transcatheter arterial chemoembolization therapy alone for inoperable primary liver cancer,without inflicting more treatment-related toxicities.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the effect of three-dimensional conformal hypofractionated high-dose radiotherapy on non-small cell lung cancer in the elderly. Methods All patients were treated by the same way of fraction radiotherapy,with a prescription dose of 4-5?Gy,every other day,to a total dose of 48-55?Gy. Results Complete response was observed in 23(51.1%) patients,partial response in 15(33.3%) patients, with the overall response rate of 84.4%. The overall 1-,2-,3-year survival rates were 66.7%,48.9% and 39.1%.Conclusions Three-dimensional conformal hypofractionated high-dose radiotherapy is safe and effective, giving mild untoward side-effects.
