ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relationship between psychological resilience and occupational stress of nurses in disinfec-tion supply center. Method A cluster sampling method was used to investigate 387 nurses in the supply and demand center by using the Chinese version of the Connor-Davidson scale (Connor-Davidson resilience, CD-RISC) and the nurse job stressors scale. Results In the disinfection supply center, the nurses' mental resilience score was (76.72±13.67), at the middle level. The total score on occupa-tion pressure was (72.84±12.19), at the moderate stress level. Pearson correlation analysis showed that the sterilization and supply cen-ter nurses' mental resilience score, together with the dimensions were positively correlated with occupation pressure. The mental re-silience and occupation pressure were positively correlated (P<0.05). Conclusions The psychological toughness and occupational stress of nurses in the sterilization and supply center are in the middle level. The nursing managers can promote the sustainable develop-ment of the nurses' psychological toughness through the stress management training and the nursing profession quality improvement.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of the failure rate of laparoscopic apparatus with power through detecting the electrical properties before packaging it. Methods The laparoscopic apparatus with power used in the operation in January to June 2014 were randomly selected and divided into the control group and the observation group according to whether they underwent electricity performance detection. The control group did not receive testing of electrical properties before packing. The observation group tested the electrical conductivity of the single or double pole conductor, unipolar electric coagulation hook, bipolar electric coagulation forceps, the handle of electric knife by digital multimeter and the performance of the uterus rotary cutting machine by electric hysterectomy controller before packing. The difference of equipment in the number of failures, the type of failure, the number of cases and the satisfaction of medical personnel were observed between the two groups. Results In the observation group, 12 cases with unipolar and bipolar coagulation failure, 10 cases with electrocision handle failure, 2 cases with uterine rotary- cutting failure, 18 cases with adverse conductive or non-conductive, 6 cases with short circuit, which were significantly lower than those in the control group (36,25, 11, 48, and 26 cases), the differences were statistically significant (χ2=5.627-12.063, P<0.05). The satisfaction degree in the observation group was 94.74% (36/38), which was better than 76.32%(29/38) of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (Z=-2.267, P<0.05). Conclusions Testing the electric performance of laparoscopic apparatus with power before packing could reduce the incidence of intraoperative equipment failure rate, This method can provide safe and high quality surgical instruments.

ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate and understand the cognitive level of occupational protection of staff in sterilization and supply center. Methods180 staff in sterilization and supply center were taken for a retrospective questionnaire investigation.The survey included:general information of the object,cognition about occupational protection,wearing of protective equipment,influence of occupational hazards,sharp instrument injury and the handling of injury cases. ResultsThe cognitive level of occupational protection in the sterilization and supply center was low.Some of the staff did not fully implement the wearing of protective equipment rules in the decontamination areas.In the occupational hazards,sharp instrument injuries accounted the highest incidence.The situation of taking blood tests after injury,injection of high titer globulin,report to the higher-ups and follow-up investigation were rare,and even some staff gave no handling of the wound. ConclusionsThe cognitive level of occupational protection in the sterilization and supply center is low.It not only needs professional training to improve cognitive level of occupational protection but also effective protective measures.The management department should establish a complete protection regulations of occupational safety and strict supervision in order to prevent the occurrence of occupational exposure,ensure staff safety,and at the same time,health records should be established in order to understand health status of staff.
