ABSTRACT
Objective:To understand the relationships between personal knowledge management,self-determination motivation and high-order thinking abilities.Methods:A total of 469 undergraduate nursing students in China Medical University were recruited and assessed with general information questionnaire,high-order thinking abilities scale,self-determination motivation scale and personal knowledge management Questionnaire.Results:The score of high-order thinking abilities for undergraduate nursing students was (4.42±0.51) points,the score of self-determination motivation was (3.84±0.55) points, the score of personal knowledge management was (3.84±0.55) points. High-order thinking abilities were significantly positively related to self-determination motivation and personal knowledge management, respectively ( r value was 0.437, 0.499, P<0.01 respectively).Grade and whether they were student cadres had no significant predictive effect on higher-level thinking ability of nursing undergraduates ( β value was 0.000, 0.064, P > 0.05 respectively).Self-determination motivation positively predicted high-order thinking abilities ( β value was 0.270, P<0.01), whereas personal knowledge management positively predicted high-order thinking abilities ( β value was 0.381, P<0.01). Structural equation results showed that the direct effect value of higher-order thinking abilities of personal knowledge management was 0.41, and the indirect effect value of self-determining motivation on higher-order thinking abilities was 0.16,self-determination motivation played an intermediary role in the sense of undergraduate nursing students high-order thinking abilities and personal knowledge management. Conclusions:Personal knowledge management and self-determination motivation are significant predicting factors of high-order thinking abilities.

ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the language structure of nursing records and the application of defined vocabulary in nursing records of community child care,and to explore the possibility of structuralization and standardization of community nursing records by researchers' consulting International Classification of Nursing Practice (ICNP(R)2.0).Methods Convenient sampling method was used.A total of 432 handbooks about child health care were extracted from three community health service centers in Liaoning province.By analyzing the nursing records,the vocabulary was selected,and a coding book was built.Then researchers compared them with ICNP(R)2.0 Chinese version.Results Totally 567 terms were extracted.All phrases in nursing records about community child health care can be classified into three categories and seven shafts,which were nursing phenomenon,nursing action and nursing outcome.Our community nursing records about child health care could not fully meet shaft level of nursing record writing requirements from the International Council of nurses.Only 146 records were labeled as perfect fit with ICNP(R)2.0 terminology,223 records as not fit at all.The difference of different levels of suitability distribution about nursing phenomenon,nursing action and nursing outcome had statistically significant difference.Words of able to adapt and can't adapt about nursing action had larger proportion.Words that can't adapt about nursing phenomenon and nursing outcome had larger proportion.Conclusions There is still certain gap between domestic nursing records and ICNP(R)2.0 terminology.The list of terms from comparison nursing records about community child health care with ICNP(R)2.0 can lay the foundation for nursing language system structure and perfect community nursing record language in our country.
ABSTRACT
Objective To probe into the burden of caregivers of patients with Alzheimer' s disease (AD) ,coping styles and the correlation. Methods A survey involving 143 caregivers of patients with AD was conducted with Caregivers' Burden Scale and a simple Coping Style Questionnaire to analyze the burden of caregivers of AD and the characteristics of their coping styles and discuss the correlation. Results The burden of the caregivers of patients with AD was at intermediate level the score was 46. 96 ±7. 28. 78. 32% of the caregivers had intermediate burden. Both the grade of the positive coping and that of the negative coping of the caregivers of patients with AD were higher than the domestic norm (P < 0.01); the positive coping styles of the caregivers of patients with AD were negatively related with their burden while nursing; their negative coping styles were positively related with their burden while nursing (P < 0.01). Conclusion The burdens while nursing are related with their coping styles. In the aspect of nursing activity, caregivers should be encouraged to adopt positive coping styles.
