Objective:To investigate the effect of 1M3S nursing management mode combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) on intestinal microecological distribution in patients with primary liver cancer.Methods:A total of 115 patients with primary liver cancer in Hai′an people′s Hospital from January 2017 to January 2020 were enrolled. Patients were divided into two groups according to the admission time. Patients ( n=56) receiving routine nursing care from January 2017 to December 2018 were set as control group, patients ( n=59) receiving 1M3S nursing management from January 2019 to January 2020 were set as observation group. Another 34 healthy individuals were set as healthy group from January 2017 to January 2020 in Hai′an People′s Hospital. The general data were collected in all three groups, and the serum levels of endotoxin (ET), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were detected. Fecal samples were collected, and 16S rDNA sequencing method was used to analyze the fecal flora structure and species relative abundance among groups, and alpha diversity was analyzed. Results:At the level of phylum, the dominant phylum of the three groups were Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria and Firmicutes. After TACE, the ET, ALT and AST levels were (9.67±2.12) ng/L, (53.24±8.47) U/L, (55.48±8.15) U/L in the control group, (4.36±2.15) ng/L, (45.31±8.36) U/L, (47.25±8.21) U/L in the observation group ( t value was 13.328, 5.052, 5.392, P<0.05). Compared with the control group, there was an increase in the relative abundance percentage of Firmicutes( t value was 16.426, P<0.01) and Lachnospiraceae in the observation group ( t value was 4.527, P<0.01), and a decrease in the relative abundance percentage of Proteobacteria ( t value was 8.462, P<0.001) after intervention. Conclusions:TACE can affect the intestinal bacteria in patients with primary liver cancer, resulting in a decrease in the relative abundance of Proteobacteria, Lachnospiraceae, and an increase in the relative abundance of Firmicutes, while application of 1M3S nursing management mode can effectively reduce the level of endotoxin, improve liver function, and reduce the imbalance of intestinal flora caused by TACE.

Research progress of nursing succession in nursing management / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective:In order to analyze the current research status of handover shift in nursing management, summarize, analyze and judge the existing literature, in order to provide reference for clinical nursing practice.Methods:Through literature review, it is planned to review the current situation, shortcomings and future development of nursing handover classes.Results:The handover process was generally divided into four stages, of which SBAR was the best practice tool for handing over key information. For the performance of handover shifts, NASR, PVNC-BR, HES and Handoff CEX were often used to evaluate the performance of shifts, and for the results of shifts, evaluations were mostly conducted at the levels of patient safety, process elements, and organizational management. At present, the use of electronic information systems, benign organizational culture and patient and family-centered clinical practice could effectively improve the efficiency and effectiveness of handover.Conclusions:The process and elements of the current shift mode are relatively complete, and the communication strategy is reasonable, but there are still many shortcomings and defects. This suggests that nursing managers should adopt scientific intervention methods and evaluation tools when paying attention to and reforming nursing handover in the future to continuously improve the quality of handover.

Predictors associated with the mental health of Japanese male registered nurses: focusing on environments with many female registered nurses and female patients’ refusal to accept nursing services from male registered nurses / Journal of Rural Medicine

Objective: To study the improvement of the mental health of Japanese male registered nurses, we investigated the predictors associated with the Japanese version of the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). For those predictors, we focused on environments with many female registered nurses and female patients’ refusal to accept nursing services from male registered nurses.Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in 93 hospitals in the Aichi, Gifu, and Mie prefectures of Japan. The analyzed subjects were 1,216 full-time male registered nurses. The average age (standard deviation) was 34.5 (9.2) years. Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted. A GHQ-12 score of ≤3 indicated good mental health, and a score of ≥4 indicated poor mental health. “Mental health” was a dependent variable. The independent variables were: “Age”, “Male registered nurses as important partners on the job”, “Female registered nurses’ good manners toward male registered nurses”, “Fairness regarding male registered nurses’ promotions”, and “Female patients’ refusal to accept nursing services from male registered nurses”.Results: There were 728 (59.9%) full-time male registered nurses with good mental health and 488 (40.1%) with poor mental health. The mental health of the male registered nurses who had negative feelings regarding, “Male registered nurses as important partners on the job” was significantly worse, and that of those who had negative feelings regarding, “Female registered nurses’ good manners toward male registered nurses” was also significantly worse.Conclusion: Female registered nurses must recognize that their attitudes toward male registered nurses influence the mental health of male registered nurses. Hospital managers should provide male registered nurses who cannot establish appropriate relations with female registered nurses with consultation opportunities. Such organizational action by managers is necessary.

Seasoned Nurse Administrators Saga: In the Changing and Challenging Times

@#This research endeavored to explore, describe and document the saga of experienced nurse administrators to come up with reflective learning in nursing leadership and management. A qualitative phenomenological approach was utilized, specifically descriptive and interpretative methods of Husserl and Heidegger. Purposive sampling and referral were employed to select eight participants from the three fields of nursing administration(academe, hospital, and community) within Luzon, Philippines. An in-depth interview about the participants' experiences in nursing and nursing administration, together with a review of historical narratives and personal accounts were engaged to generate data. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and were analyzed following hermeneutic interpretive phenomenology. An integrated analysis of literature showed parallel descriptions of participants' responses and the context of historical accounts and events in nursing in the Philippines. Four main themes have emerged in the saga of Seasoned Nurse Administrators (SNAs): 1) Nurse administrators' responses according to the need and context of nursing in their times; 2) Nursing foundations and training are geared towards the values of nursing as a service profession, 3) The pathways towards becoming a nurse administrator are marked with competence in the roles undertaken and living the passion for service; 4) SNAs facing challenges are towards the improvement of life conditions, excellence in their profession, and setting advocacies to elevate the nursing profession in the country in the 21st century. A conceptual model was formulated in understanding the paths towards a seasoned nurse administrator.

Methods: The sample population of the study comprised 335 subjects, who were middle managers in 18 public regional hospitals in Andalusia. The instrument used to measure different leadership styles was the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ 5X-Short form), which is composed of 45 items. Results: The study showed that the most predominant leadership style was transactional leadership with a mean value of M = 4.22 (standard deviation [SD] = 0.42) followed by transformational leadership with a mean value of M = 3.97 (SD 0.45). Of the three styles analysed, transactional leadership had the highest statistical median for both male and female subjects. From a gender-based perspective, transformational leadership showed statistically significant differences (p < 0.01) between men and women. This was true for leadership styles as well as for the dimensions that define each style. Conclusion: The most frequent leadership style in middle nursing management in Andalusian hospitals was transactional leadership. In regard to the three leadership styles as well as their dimensions, the female subjects obtained the highest scores. This means that from a gender-based perspective, female nursing managers had better performance levels than their male counterparts in the regional hospital system in Andalusia.

Application of integrated medical-nursing management model for clinical nursing teaching in neonatology department / 中华医学教育探索杂志

Objective:To explore the application of integrated medical-nursing management model for clinical nursing teaching in neonatology department.Methods:A total of 28 undergraduate nursing students having internship in neonatology department from August 2018 to February 2020 were enrolled in the study, among which 15 nursing students from August 2018 to May 2019 were selected as the control group, and 13 nursing students from August 2019 to February 2020 were selected as the observation group. The control group was given traditional teaching, and the observation group was given integrated teaching of medical care. The theoretical scores, nursing operation, comprehensive quality, total scores and teaching satisfaction of the two groups were compared. SPSS 19.0 was used for t test. Results:The theoretical scores of the observation group and the control group were (96.31±0.85) points and (88.47±1.92) points, respectively. Nursing operation scores of observation group and control group were (95.18±2.06) points and (93.15±2.13) points. Comprehensive quality of observation group and control group were (96.23±1.48) points and (90.47±1.88) points. The total scores of the observation group and the control group were (96.83±1.27) points and (91.20±1.31) points, respectively. All the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Ther were significant differences between the two groups in terms of teaching satisfaction including teaching methods, contents, teachers' satisfaction and total satisfaction( P<0.05). Conclusion:In the clinical nursing teaching of neonatology department, the integrated medical-nursing management model is helpful to improve the clinical comprehensive quality and teaching satisfaction of undergraduate nursing students.

Application of intelligent closed-loop mobile nursing management system in quality management of blood transfusion / 中国输血杂志

【Objective】 To explore the effect of intelligent closed-loop mobile nursing management system in quality management of blood transfusion. 【Methods】 The mobile nursing system and the cold chain management system of our hospital were integrated to realize intelligent closed-loop management of blood transfusion. After consulting medical records, 789 blood recipients, admitted to the Department of Hematology of our hospital from January to December 2017 (before the implementation of closed-loop management), were selected as the control group, and 836 blood recipients, admitted during January to December 2018 (after the implementation of closed-loop management), were selected as the observation group. A self-designed blood transfusion standard management checklist was adopted, with the number of standard execution items as the numerator and the total number of checked items as the denominator to obtain the standard implementation rate. The checking rate of blood sample collection, blood transfusion rate within 30 min after blood issuing, the execution rate of double check specification and inspection specification, the completion rate of RBCs transfusion within 4 h and qualified rate of blood transfusion nursing record before and after the implementation of closed-loop management were compared by chi-square test or Fisher's exact probability method to evaluate the efficacy of blood quality management improvement. A total of 8 head nurses from clinical departments (Hematology Department, Cardiac Surgery Department, Operating Room, Comprehensive ICU) involved in blood transfusion were selected for semi-structured interviews. The interviews focused on the effect of intelligent closed-loop mobile nursing information system in quality management of clinical blood use, and the results of the interviews were analyzed. 【Results】 The double check execution rate of blood transfusion, the checking rate of blood sample collection specification, the transfusion rate within 30 min after blood issuing, the execution rate of blood transfusion inspection, the completion rate of RBCs transfusion within 4 h, the qualified rate of blood transfusion nursing record in the observation group and the control group after and before the implication of the intelligent closed-loop mobile nursing management system were 100%(836/836) vs 97.72%(771/789), 99.04%(828/836) vs 97.34%(768/789), 97.97%(819/836) vs 95.06%(750/789), 99.28%(830/836) vs 94.93%(712/789), 99.16%(829/836) vs 97.47%(769/789) and 100%(836/836) vs 89.73%(708/789), respectively, showing significant improvement (P < 0.05). The time spend on the record, summary and feedback of quality control results was significantly shortened. 【Conclusion】 The application of intelligent closed-loop mobile nursing management system in the quality management of clinical blood use can effectively improve the efficiency of blood transfusion, nursing quality and the safety of clinical blood use.
