ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the graduation clinical skill examination based on objective structured clinical examination(OSCE) for college nursing undergraduates.Methods Classic OSCE was simplified and taken as references for nursing undergraduate graduation clinical skill examination including nursing evaluation,nursing dignosis,nursing intervention and health education for stations.Self-made questionnaire was conducted among students.Examination scores and the questionnaire results were statistically analyzed by SPSS 16.0 software.Measurement data and categorical data were shown as ((x)±s) and ％ respectively.T test was used in comparison between the groups according to the inspection level of α =0.05,P ＜ 0.05 means significant difference.Results Simplified OSCE was composed of 4 stations and the mean score was (80.38 ± 4.22) with mean scoring rate of the 4 stations varied from 72.2％ to 88.0％.More than 93％ students thought that OSCE score can or basically can evaluate comprehensive clinical nursing competence,clinical thinking,communicating and adaptability.Conclusions Simplified OSCE is designed properly for the objective evaluation of nursing students' clinical competence and students are mostly satisfied with its design and organization,quality and efficiency.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation between social factors and postpartum depression.Methods A total of 182 parturients were investigated with Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS)and self-designed questionnaire.The social factors and postpartum depression of parturients were analyzed using univariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis.Results Family income,relation of family,relation of couples,sex of newborns and negative life events were associated with the risk of postpartum depression.Conclusions Low family income,bad relation of family,bad relation of couples,female newborns,and negative life events during pregnancy may increase the risk of postpartum depression.
ABSTRACT
Objective To determine the prevalence of latex glove(LG)-induced type Ⅳ hypersensitivity in clinical nurses. Methods 100 clinical nurses were selected,among whom 69 nurses were set as the latex glove hypersensitivity group,and the other 31 nurses did not show hypersensitivity to latex glove (the control group).The two groupe underwent a patch testing with a modified European standard series of allergens supplied by Chemotechnique Diagnostics.The positive allergens were compared between the two groups. Results The positive rate of patch testing in patients of the latex glove hypersensitivity group was superior to that in the control group (73.9％ vs 25.8％).Cobalt chloride and potassium dichromate were the most common allergens in both groups,while only formaldehyde and para-phenylenediamine were more susceptible in the latex glove hypersensitivity group compared with that in the control group.26.1％ of the latex glove hypersensitivity group was responsive to rubber additives,but in the control group the results were negative.Conclusions The hand dermatitis of female nurses with LG allergy is mainly caused by exposure to daily necessities.The prevalence of LG-induced type Ⅳ hypenensitivity is relatively high in clinical murses.
