ABSTRACT
Fall efficacy is an important index reflecting the confidence and belief degree of individuals who do not fall in daily activities. Parkinson disease is a common neurodegenerative disease. Due to the deterioration of balance and other functions, the overall fall efficacy level is generally poor, which not only restricts the daily social interaction, but also further degrades the body function, and ultimately leads to the patients′ falling more easily, increased disability and decreased overall quality of life. This paper reviewed the concept, measurement tools, research status, influencing factors and intervention of fall efficacy in patients with Parkinson disease, and pointed out the existing problems and future directions, aiming to provide reference for further research on fall efficacy in patients with Parkinson disease in China.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the status of sub-health in young and middle-aged intellectuals in Guangxi,and to provide a reference basis for improving the health status of young and middle-aged intellectuals. Method Convenient random sampling was used to select 3862 young and middle-aged intellectuals in Guangxi and the sub-health measurement scale version 1.0 (SHMS V1.0) was used to analyze the mental sub-health status. Results The total scores was (59.53±10.48) points and the score of SHMS V1.0 in the physical subscale, psychological subscale, social subscale were (59.27±13.39),(56.26±10.39),(63.49±11.92) points.The difference of the young and middle-aged intellectuals of age, occupation, gender, marriage,dwelling,work day time, breakfast, sleeping time, exercise, smoking and drinking were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions The physical and psychological sub-health status of the young and middle-aged intellectuals in Guangxi is not unsatisfactory.Puting forward the nursing strategy of installing information exchange platform , forming a good living habits , creating a good atmosphere to improve the psychological sub-health status of the young and middle-aged intellectuals are of great importance.
ABSTRACT
To compare different nasal cavity nursing methods on mechanically ventilated patients. According to acute physiology and chronic health evaluation [APACHEII], 615 cases of mechanically ventilated patients were divided into group A, group B and group C by stratified random method. Traditional oral nursing plus aspirating secretions from oral cavity and nasal cavity q6h were done in group A. Based on methods in group A, normal saline was used for cleaning nasal cavity in group B. Besides the methods in group A, atomizing nasal cleansing a6h was also used in group C. Incidence rate of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia [VAP] and APACHE II scores after administrating were compared. The correlation between APACHE II score and outcomes was analyzed by Spearman-rank correlation. In group A, incidence of VAP was 36.76%, group B was 30.24%, group C was 20.38%, and the difference was statistically significant. APACHE II scores in group C were significantly lower compared with group A and B. APACHE II score was negatively correlated with clinical outcomes. For mechanically ventilated patients, nasal nursing can't be ignored and the new atomizing nasal cleaning is an effective method for VAP prevention

OBJECTIVE To investigate the occurrence of injuries by sharp instrument among new medical staff and their preventive consciousness and measures.METHODS Through questionaires,one hundred and fifty four interns who graduated from 2004 to 2006 were surveyed retrospectively.RESULTS Of the new interns,126(81.8%)persons were injured 585 times by sharp instrument,87.8% of whom were injured twice.During the internship,83 persons had passed sharp instrument injury prevention training,and earned priorities in its prevention.In the group of 83 persons trained,59 persons(71.1%) were injured;in another group of 71 persons untrained,67 persons(94.4%) were injured,there was significant difference at the rate of injuries between two groups.Opening ampules,and manipulating needles of syringes or infusion devices were the three major causes due which sharp injuries happened,were accounted for 35%,27% and 22%.CONCLUSIONS New medical staff have high rate of the sharp instrument injuries during internship,the occurrences of injuries are mostly due to the inadequacy in consciousness,the inpreficiency in operating,the high rate of with sharp instrument.Therefore,to reduce the sharp instrument injuries,developing good operating habit;performing operating procedure conscientiously;using medical equipment which can prevent injuries are the effective measures.
