ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the current situation of nursing human caring in hospital wards and analyze its influencing factors, so as to facilitate the development of nursing human caring practice.Methods:From July to November 2022, a total of 107 hospitals were surveyed through stratified convenience sampling method, and 4 072 ward nursing managers were recruited to finish the general information questionnaire and the ward nursing human caring status questionnaire. The general information included the region, class and type of the hospital, etc. The ward nursing human caring status questionnaire included 38 items in 5 dimensions of nursing human caring system and process, humanistic quality and training of nursing staff, humanistic environment and facilities, human caring procedures and measures, and human caring quality evaluation and improvement, with a full score of 190 points. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the general data, independent samples t-test, ANOVA and correlation analysis were used to analyze the factors influencing the current status of nursing human caring in the ward, while multiple linear regression analysis was used to conduct a multivariate analysis. Results:The score of nursing human caring in hospital wards was 156.91±27.78. Whether the hospital had carried out nursing human caring pilot(demonstration) wards, whether the ward had previously been a hospital nursing human caring pilot(demonstration) nursing unit, the type of ward, and whether nursing managers had participated in human caring training were the influencing factors of the implication of nursing humanistic caring in wards( P<0.05). Conclusions:The practice of nursing human caring in hospital wards is at a good level, but needs to be further strengthened. Nursing managers should take systematically strategies to promote the development of nursing human caring practice.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the prevalence of mild cognitive impairment(MCI)in elderly inpatients in high altitude areas, analyze the influencing factors, and then construct a risk factor model.Methods:A cross-sectional random sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey among elderly patients over 65 years old hospitalized at Qinghai Provincial People's Hospital from October 2018 to February 2019.The survey contents included demographic data, lifestyles, physical activities and cognitive function.The occurrence of MCI was analyzed with descriptive epidemiological measures, a predictive model of influencing factors was established using Logistic regression analysis, and influencing factors were ranked.Results:There were a total of 1412 elderly people aged 65 and above, with 760 males, accounting for 53.8%.The ages of respondents ranged between 65-82 years, with an average age of(72.8±5.8)years.Of the subjects, 600 had MCI, with a prevalence of 42.4%.Male( OR=1.318, P=0.02), junior high school education or above( OR=0.521, P<0.001), bedriddenness( OR=2.658, P=0.002), lifestyle( OR=0.702, P=0.011), abnormal defecation( OR=1.625, P=0.005)and frailty( OR=1.536, P=0.002)were included into the predictive model of influencing factors.The area under the ROC curve in this study was 0.676(95% CI: 0.648-0.704), with sensitivity=0.553, specificity=0.741, and Youden index=0.274.When ordered by importance, the independent risk factors were frailty, male, abnormal defecation, bedriddenness, lifestyle, and education level. Conclusions:Male, frailty, abnormal defecation and long-term bedriddenness are risk factors for cognitive impairment in elderly people, whereas living with a partner and education above junior high school are protective factors.

Professional identity and career development were compared and analyzed before and after the intervention.Results:The total score of professional identity level of male nurses after intervention was (121.66±19.91) points, which was significantly higher than that before intervention (117.68±19.05), and the differences in all dimensions were statistically significant ( t value was 6.278, P<0.01). The score of successful in career after intervention (42.30±8.06) was significantly higher than that before intervention (41.81±8.00), and the differences in all dimensions were statistically significant ( t value was 3.928, P<0.01). Conclusion:The implementation of male nurse training program and scientific management of male nurses in general hospitals can effectively improve their professional identity level and promote their career development.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the current status of clinical teaching towards postgraduates of master of nursing specialist(MNS) in China.Methods:Objective sampling was used to invest 390 MNS clinical nursing teachers in 36 hospitals across the country. The survey included the admission and evaluation criteria of teachers, the MNS postgraduates′ clinical teaching plan and implementation, and the assessment of MNS postgraduate ′s clinical practice ability, etc. Results:Among the criteria for clinical teachers for MNS postgraduates, 79.49% of departments required bachelor ′s degree or above, and 67.18% of departments requested medium-grade professional title or above; 47.44% of the departments demanded that clinical teachers had the research experience, 58.21% departments asked for the experience of articles publication. The main method of selecting clinical teaching teachers was examination (50%), while 31.28% departments had no definite criteria. The evaluation indicators of clinical teachers mainly depended on the results of students ′ clinical practice capability assessment (81.79%) and students ′ satisfaction (80%). Only 49.23% of the study objects knew the training objectives of MNS. The pivotal abilities of MNS graduate students were the ability of clinical nursing practice (91.79%) and clinical research (82.82%). The MNS postgraduate teaching plan of each department was mainly derived from the requirements of tutors and colleges (87.69%). The mode of clinical teaching was that one student was guided by a fixed clinical teacher (87.18%). Clinical practice assessment methods of MNS mainly included theoretical knowledge assessment (88.46%) and the performance of section lectures (82.56%). The assessment personnel were mainly clinical teachers (95.40%) and head nurses (83.51%). The self-assessment of clinical teachers was rated at the medium level about their performance on the postgraduate MNS students ′ clinical teaching. Conclusions:The homogenization and standardization of the construction of MNS clinical teaching base needs to be improved in China. In the field of defining the criteria of clinical teaching teachers, strengthening the construction of clinical faculty, perfecting the clinical teaching plan and evaluation system according to the cultivation objectives and specialist characteristics, and elevating the comprehensive medical education combined with clinical education and college education, further exploration is indispensable.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the effect of standardized training for new nurses in the first year based on Kirkpatrick model as a theoretical framework.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted. New nurses' satisfaction with training, theoretical and operational assessment, job performance, core competence, turnover rate and other indicators were used, to evaluate the effect of standardized training for 62 new nurses in the first year.Results:At the reaction level, the overall satisfaction score of new nurses was 4.66±0.47; at the learning level, the theoretical assessment score was 95.32±2.38, the operational assessment score was 97.53±1.07, and the performance score was 97.12±1.64; at the behavioral level 88.45±9.75; and at the result level, there were no complaints and errors among new nurses, and the turnover rate was 1.6% (1/62). The theoretical and operational assessment scores were positively correlated with work performance, with r value of 0.424 and 0.399, respectively, and P = 0.001. The theoretical assessment scores were negatively correlated with the behavioral level, with the r value of -0.264 and P= 0.038. There were no correlation with the operational assessment scores and the behavioral level, with the r value of 0.147 and P value of 0.253. Conclusions:Kirkpatrick model validates the standardized training program for new nurses effectively, and provides scientific basis for improving the training program for new nurses. The results level of the training needs to be evaluated in the long term.

Methods 273 cases of patients with bed rest who were treated by Orthopaedic operation from November 2015 to March 2016 and from November 2016 to March 2017 in our hospital were.collected and divided into 2 groups according to whether there were deep venous thrombosis after operation, and A group had 232 patients who did not have deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs after Operation. B Group had 41 patients who had deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs after Operation. The two groups of patients were treated with orthopedic treatment, the researchers recorded the basic data of two groups of patients, and analyzed the risk factors of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in patients with orthopedic Bed rest. Results In group B, patient ratio of age greater than 65 years old, with a body mass index (BMI) of more than 25 kg/m2, with chronic diseases, bed rest for more than 5 days after operation, triglyceride index≥1.7 mmol/L D-dimer≥500 μgP/L, operating time over 4 h were 54.10% (23/41), 58.54% (24/41), 75.61% (31/41), 60.98% (25/41), 58.50% (24/41), 63.41% (26/41), 48.78% (20/41), respectively.In group A, patient ratio of age greater than 65 years old, with a body mass index (BMI) of more than 25 kg/ m2, with chronic diseases, bed rest for more than 5 days after operation, triglyceride index≥1.7 mmol/L D-dimer≥500ugP/L, operating time over 4 h were 24.14%(56/232), 23.28%(54/232), 13.36%(31/232), 23.28%(54/232), 21.12%(49/232), 10.78%(25/232), 9.91%(23/232), respectively, The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2=3.602～11.623, all P < 0.05); Related risk factors for deep venous thrombosis in lower limbs logistic regression analysis showed that age greater than 65 years old, with a body mass index (BMI) of more than 25 kg/ m2, with chronic diseases, bed rest for more than 5 days after operation, triglyceride index ≥ 1.7 mmol/ L D-dimer ≥ 500 μg/L, operating time over 4 h were the related risk factors for deep venous thrombosis in patients with bed rest after operation. Conclusion the risk factors for deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs in the elderly patients with bed rest after orthopedic operation are mainly age greater than 65 years old, with a body mass index (BMI) of more than 25 kg/m2, with chronic diseases (such as hypertension, diabetes, etc.), bed rest for more than 5 days after operation, triglyceride index≥1.7 mmol/L D-dimer≥500 μg/L, operating time over 4 h, nursing staff should carry out nursing intervention according to the risk factors related to deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs to avoid the formation of deep vein thrombosis of lower limbs as far as possible.
ABSTRACT
In order to identify 35 key work items indicating the workload, difficulty of nursing technology and nursing risk of different wards scientifically, a mathematical model of classification of wards was established by literature review, conference discussions, expert consultation, brainstorming, and field measurement, and information technology as well. On such basis, scores of the wards were calculated, and the total scoring of each ward was ranked from high to low into three categories and six grades. Each grade of wards was assigned with different performance distribution weights. Such a mathematical model for ward categorizing and grading based on HIS system and key item and weights, can monitor ward nursing in real time, and provide nursing administrators at all levels with clinical risk early warning by means of vertical and horizontal comparisons. These administrators can take precautions in time in terms of human resources and materials. Ward categorizing and grading as an indicator for performance distribution ensures the rationality of such distribution, enhances nursing motivation and stabilizes front-line nursing teams in the end.
