ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the current situation and correlation between organizational climate perception, professional identity, self-disclosure and transformation impact of new nurses in oncology department, and explore the chain mediating effect between organizational climate perception and professional identity between self-disclosure and transformation shock, so as to provide basis for further formulating the intervention plan of transformation impact.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey. From August 2021 to April 2022, a total of 252 newly graduated nurses in oncology department from nine Class ⅢGrade A hospitals in Henan Province were selected as the research objects by the convenient sampling method. General Information Questionnaire, Transformation of New Nurses Impact Evaluation Questionnaire, Distress Disclosure Index, Nursing Organization Climate Perception Scale, Professional Identity Scale were used for survey. Pearson correlation analysis was performed, and AMOS26.0 software was used to build a chain intermediary model, and the model was tested by Bootstrap method.Results:The total score of the transformation impact of new nurses in the oncology department was (96.51 ± 13.04); the total score of the Distress Disclosure Index was (33.84 ± 7.18); the total score of Nursing Organizational Climate Perception Scale was (99.16 ± 12.97); the total score of the Professional Identity Scale was (91.23 ± 19.92). Self-disclosure, organizational climate perception and professional identity were negatively correlated with transformation impact ( r = - 0.743, - 0.684, -0.631, all P<0.05). The indirect effect of self-disclosure on transformation impact was true, and the total indirect effect was 0.435. The specific mediating effect of nursing organizational climate perception accounted for 51.5% (22.4/43.5) of the total indirect effect and that of professional identity 15.9%(6.9/43.5) of the total indirect effect. The organizational climate and professional identity accounted for 32.4%(14.1/43.5) of the total indirect effects. Conclusions:Self-disclosure, organizational climate perception and professional identity of new nurses in oncology department was negatively correlated with transformation impact. Self-disclosure is positively correlated with organizational climate perception and professional identity, organizational climate perception and professional identity play a chain mediating effect between self-disclosure and transformation impact. It is suggested that managers should adopt positive and effective self-disclosure intervention programs and develop relevant training programs to improve the organizational climate perception and professional identity level of new nurses in oncology department, so as to reduce their transformation impact.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the practical effect of the comprehensive teaching method based on King's up-to-the-standard theory on the clinical teaching of oncology department.Methods:From August 2019 to June 2020, 60 interns of oncology department were selected and randomly divided into control group and study group. The control group was given conventional clinical teaching method, and the study group was given comprehensive teaching method based on King's up-to-the-standard theory (including PBL, CBL, scenario simulation, MOOC, etc.) for 3 months. The theoretical and practical assessment results of the two groups after 3 months were compared. The post competency of the two groups before and after teaching, and the satisfaction of the two groups with the teaching mode were compared. SPSS 26.00 was used for t test and chi-square test. Results:There were significant differences in the distribution of theoretical and practical examination results between the study group and the control group ( P<0.05), and the excellent and good rate of the former was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the scores of professional ethics, professional ability, interpersonal communication and team cooperation, teaching and scientific research direction between the two groups before teaching. However, the scores after teaching were higher than those before teaching, and study group had higher scores than the control group ( P<0.05). The satisfaction scores of the study group were higher than those of the control group in stimulating learning interest, promoting learning initiative, improving the ability of analyzing and solving problems, cultivating critical thinking, cultivating doctor-patient communication ability, cultivating team spirit, improving literature review ability, broadening knowledge, guiding future clinical work and enhancing self-confidence ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The application of the comprehensive teaching method based on King's up-to-the-standard theory in the clinical teaching of oncology department can improve the examination results and post competency of interns, and also improve their satisfaction.
ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Ovarian cancer is not only the most common but also the most lethal gynecological malignancy, partly, becausethe majority of patients present with advanced disease. However, as is true for so many cancers, the management of patientswith ovarian neoplasms has changed substantially, and outcome results have improved considerably over the years.The reasonsfor this are many. For example, major advances in chemotherapy have resulted in improved survival, and the role of surgeryis constantly evolving and being refined.Purpose: A retrospective data analyses of ovarian cancer patients to observe their contemporary management in a radiationoncology departmental set up and the post-treatment outcome of these patients.Materials and Methods: The case records of 117 ovarian neoplasm patients registered in our department from 2011 to 2018were analyzed. The clinical, histopathological, and treatment details were noted. Contemporary treatment protocols were used.Results: Of the 117 patients of ovarian cancer treated in our department with conventional diagnostic, imaging, surgical, andcontemporary chemotherapy protocols, we found management of such patients is possible with optimum outcomes.Conclusion: Ovarian cancer patients can safely and optimally be treated in a radiation oncology department.
ABSTRACT
Compassion fatigue is a common mental health problem experienced by rescuers.It is a phenomenon of psychological discomfort caused by the lack or excess of empathy in the implementation of relief. The main manifestation is post-traumatic stress disorder, the reduction of interest and ability of empathy, and the increase of job burnout. Oncology nurses have a higher incidence of compassion fatigue due to greater pressure caused by the complex work environment. The current interventions on the compassion fatigue of oncology nurses abroad, such as Self-Care, Compassion Fatigue Resiliency Program, Mindfulness Training,Educational Intervention,arts therapies,and others,can help improve nurse's quality of service and physical and mental health.However,there is a relative lack of domestic research,and nurse researchers should carry out such studies more actively to provide a reference for the improvement of nurses' mental health situation.

ABSTRACT
Objetivo: Describir y clasificar los errores en la formulación de quimioterapia de oncología, hematología y pediatría. Métodos: Estudio de corte transversal, mediante un muestreo en un periodo de tiempo. Las formulaciones seleccionadas fueron evaluadas y clasificadas según tipo de error y se verificó en la historia clínica la existencia de efectos asociados a los pacientes. Resultados: Se revisaron 440 formulaciones y se identificaron 54 errores. El tipo de error más frecuente fue el relacionado con la prescripción y con la capacidad de causar lesión. De los errores identificados 17 ocasionaron efectos o lesiones en los pacientes que no produjeron muertes o discapacidades. La ciclofosfamida, el trastuzumab y la dexametasona fueron los medicamentos que más se asociaron con la mayoría de errores. Discusión: La frecuencia calculada de errores fue comparable con la publicada en la literatura. Los errores identificados son potencialmente evitables, pero se requiere diseñar programas enfocados a su prevención que incluya acciones educativas dirigidas a especialistas, químicos farmacéuticos, enfermeras y pacientes.
Objectives: To describe and classify the medication errors that occurred during a 6 months period in oncology, hematology and pediatrics. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a 6 month time period sample. The formulations selected were evaluated and classified according to error type, and the existence of patient-related effects were verified in the clinical notes. Findings: A total of 440 formulations were reviewed and 54 errors (12.3%) were identified, with the most frequent being related to prescription. The severity of these errors was potentially harmful. A total of 17 adverse events were identified in patients, and were not associated with deaths or disabilities. Cyclophosphamide, trastuzumab, dexamethasone, among others, were associated with most errors. Discussion: The overall error rate found is comparable with those in the world literature. Despite the complexity of the prescription, these errors remain avoidable, but a prevention program is needed that focuses on educational activities with participation by specialists, pharmaceutical chemists, nurses, as well as patients. © 2014 Instituto Nacional de Cancerología.

ABSTRACT
Se efectuó un estudio comparativo de 2 analizadores comerciales de bioimpedancia eléctrica corporal (Bodystat® 1500-MDD y BioScan®98) en el Servicio de Oncopediatría del Hospital Infantil Sur de Santiago de Cuba, desde septiembre hasta octubre del 2009, para lo cual se realizó una simulación in vitro con los calibradores de cada equipo y un estudio in vivo de 32 adultos aparentemente sanos y 32 niños con diferentes afecciones. La resistencia eléctrica y la reactancia capacitiva se estimaron con ambos analizadores; además, se calcularon el módulo de impedancia y el ángulo de fase. La prueba t-student de 2 medias para muestras apareadas y el método de Bland-Altman fueron los criterios estadísticos usados. No existieron diferencias significativas entre ambos analizadores al introducir los factores de corrección para la resistencia eléctrica y la reactancia capacitiva; por tanto, es posible usarlos indistintamente para caracterizar bioeléctricamente a los individuos aparentemente sanos y pacientes con diferentes enfermedades.
A controlled trial with 2 body electrical impedance commercial analyzers was carried out (Bodystat® 1500-MDD and BioScan®98) at the Pediatric Oncology Department of the Southern Children Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, from September to October 2009, for which an in vitro simulation with gauges of each device and an in vivo study in 32 apparently healthy adults and 32 children with different conditions were conducted. Electrical resistance and capacitive reactance were estimated with both analyzers, and impedance module and phase angle were also calculated. The two-means Student's t test for paired samples and the Bland-Altman method were used as statistical criteria. There were not significant differences between the two analyzers by introducing correction factors for electrical resistance and capacitive reactance; therefore, it is possible to use either to characterize bioelectrically apparently healthy individuals and patients with different conditions.
