ABSTRACT
Objective:To construct a "Five-in-one" blended teaching model in the course of fundamental nursing with ideological and political education as the core, integrated with online and offline, and complemented with theory and experiment, and to explore its application effect.Methods:Eight classes of nursing undergraduates in Batch 2019 were selected through convenience sampling method, and through random cluster sampling, Class 5 to 8 were divided into control group and Class 1 to 4 were divided into experimental group. The control group used the traditional teaching method, the experimental group used the "Five-in-one" mixed teaching model. After the course, the teaching effect was evaluated by the professional commitment scale, the recessive truancy scale for college students, the self-regulated learning ability scale and the examination results. SPSS 23.0 software was used for t test. Results:After teaching, the scores of professional commitment, self-adjustment in recessive truancy, autonomous learning ability and examination results of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group [(91.30±10.38) vs. (87.31±16.40), (23.30±4.50) vs. (21.23±4.51), (82.31±10.06) vs. (79.42±9.79), (72.31±10.13) vs. (70.14±9.67) and (87.93±4.60) vs. (86.50±4.67), respectively]. The scores of academic cognition, learning habit, classroom cognition and learning environment in recessive truancy of the experimental group were lower than those in control group, with statistical significance.Conclusion:The application of "Five-in-one" blended teaching model in the course of fundamental nursing can reduce students' recessive truancy and improve their professional commitment, autonomous learning ability and academic achievement.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#Through research on the geriatric nursing related literature in Chinese journals and medical care and elderly care combination related keywords from 1979 to 2017, this study provides the development trend of geriatric nursing research.@*Methods@#Searching articles in Wanfang, CNKI, VIP database, selecting the keywords and published time of the paper. Employing descriptive statistics to describe literatures information such as publication time, quantity of keywords, word frequency of keywords, heat degree of keywords, character of keywords and so on.@*Results@#Totally 134 791 articles were got and 58 031 articles were included in the analysis. The amount of literature growth was slow before 2005, The cumulative amount of literature in 1979-2005 was only 12.75% of the total amount of literature. After 2005, the amount of literature increased rapidly year by year. The number of literature published in 2017 has exceeded 12%. The amount of the geriatric nursing related literature was proportional to the number of people aged 65 and over in China. In the research of geriatric nursing, the content related to medical care and elderly care combination was quite dispersed, and it did not involve research at the level of Medical Association. The medical care and elderly care combination and Medical Association were new areas in the research of geriatric nursing.@*Conclusion@#The amount of the geriatric nursing related literature from 1979 to 2017 was proportional to the number of people aged 65 and over in China. There are few researches on how to carry out geriatric nursing under the policy of medical care and elderly care combination and Medical Association, which should be the focus of future research and exploration to actively respond to the challenge of aging population.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the influence of multi-disciplinary diabetes-oriented nursing team on blood glucose control knowledge of nursing not working in endocrinology department. Methods The multi-disciplinary diabetes-oriented nursing team was established. The team members trained the nurses not working in the endocrinology department with blood glucose control knowledge. The pre-and post-training effects were compared by way of testing their mastery of blood glucose control knowledge. Result The nurse's mastery of blood glucose control knowledge after training was significantly enhanced than those before. Conclusion The multi-subject diabetes-oriented nursing team is effective in improving the knowledge of blood glucose control of the nursing not working in endocrinology department so that the nurses can carry out timely and professional instructions for the patients and thus the nurses quality and therapeutic effect can also be improved.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) by individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) is crucial for long-term health, yet numerous cultural, economic and health factors can reduce SMBG. Most studies on SMBG adherence have come out of the US and Europe, and their relevance to Asia is unclear. The aims of the present study were to assess the current state of SMBG in China and analyze demographic and diabetes-related characteristics that may influence it.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>In this multi-center, cross-sectional study, 5 953 individuals with T2D from 50 medical centers in 29 provinces across China filled out a standardized questionnaire that requested information on demographic characteristics, education level, occupation, income, lifestyle risk factors, duration of diabetes, chronic complications, and frequency of SMBG. Respondents were also asked whether their glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) had been checked in the past 6 months. The most recent values for fasting plasma glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose and HbA1c were recovered from medical records.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Only 1 130 respondents (18.98%) performed SMBG with the recommended frequency, while 4 823 (81.02%) did not. In fact, nearly 2 105 (35.36%) reported never performing SMBG. In the subset of 3 661 individuals on insulin therapy, only 266 (7.27%) performed SMBG at least once a day, while 1 210 (33.05%) never performed it. In contrast, 895 of 2 292 individuals (39.05%) on diet/exercise therapy or oral hypoglycemic therapy never performed it. Multivariate Logistic regression identified several factors associated with SMBG adherence: female gender, higher education level, higher income, longer T2D duration and education about SMBG.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>SMBG adherence in our Chinese population with T2D was less frequent than that in developed countries. Several factors influence SMBG adherence: gender, education level, income, T2D duration, therapy regimen and exposure to education about SMBG.</p>

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Insulin injection therapy is one of the most effective treatments for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Many people with T2DM in western countries resist starting insulin therapy; whether the same is true in China is unknown. This survey-based study assessed acceptance and rejection of insulin therapy among individuals with T2DM in China and self-reported reasons for these therapy choices. It also examined what methods may be useful for increasing the rate of insulin acceptance.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A multi-center, cross-sectional survey was conducted between April and July 2010 to a convenience sample of inpatients and outpatients at 50 medical centers across 29 administrative divisions in China. Data were collected on sociodemographic and T2DM characteristics, therapy regime, and attitudes toward insulin therapy.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A total of 6 043 patients were surveyed, and 5 961 complete questionnaires (98.6%) were used in the analysis. Just over half the respondents (3 460, 58.0%) reported negative attitudes to insulin therapy, including 2 508 of the 4 469 patients (56.1%) whose physicians had recommended it to them. Of the patients counseled to use insulin, 800 (17.9%) were unwilling to start therapy and cited the following reasons: inconvenience (64.3%); concerns over addiction (24.6%); pain (14.3%); side effects (14.1%); and high cost (13.6%). Logistic regression suggested that respondents would be more willing to undertake insulin therapy if they had received diabetes education, had positive attitudes to the treatment, had higher glycosylated hemoglobin level, or had suffered diabetes for a longer period or with more complications.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Patients with T2DM in China are often resistant to insulin therapy if they have been diagnosed with the disease for a relatively short time or if the disease has been relatively mild. Educating patients on the benefits of insulin therapy, not only at the initial diagnosis with T2DM but also when insulin therapy becomes necessary, will likely increase their willingness to undertake it.</p>
