Objective To determine the effectiveness of an oral care protocol on prevention and treatment of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis in patients with hematological neoplasms. Methods Totally 106 patients with hematological neoplasms undergoing therapies from March to October 2017 were enrolled. Patients who were included from March to June 2017 constituted the control group, others from July to October constituted the intervention group. Patients in control group received the regular care, while patients in intervention group received a 3-week period oral care protocol. The oral health status of the patients was recorded and compared between the two groups. Results On the 7th,14th, 21th day after chemotherapy, the oral mucositis level of I degree,Ⅱdegree,Ⅲdegree andⅣdegree of the intervention group were 11, 13, 17, 1 cases, 28, 16, 0, 0 cases, 9, 3, 0, 0 cases, which were lower than the control group whose degrees were 24, 18, 10, 2 cases, 21, 13, 12, 0 cases, 13, 9, 8, 0 cases, respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (Z=-2.177,-2.504,-2.113, P<0.05). On the 3th, 7th, 14th and 21th day after chemotherapy, the oral pain scores reported by patients in the intervention group were 2.00(2.50), 3.00(2.75), 2.50(2.00), 0.00 (1.00), which were lower than the control group whose scores, in contrast, were 3.00(4.00), 5.00(3.25), 5.50 (4.00), 2.00(3.25). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (Z=-2.587,-3.326,-4.925,-3.217, P <0.05). The positive rate of microbial examination in the intervention group was 14.6％(7/48), which was lower than 36.2％(21/58) in the control group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant(χ2=6.318, P<0.05). Conclusions The oral care protocol established and implemented based on evidence could effectively decrease the incidence of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis, ease oral pain and reduce inflammation for patients with hematological neoplasms.

Objective To investigate the use of smartphone applications in the adherence with inhaled glucocortiocoids (ICS) therapy in asthma children. Methods Sixty-six asthma children and their caregivers in Shanghai Childrren's Medical center from July 2016 to February 2017 were recruited in this study using convenience sampling . All participants were randomly allocated to intervention and control groups. All participants were given routine education and technical guidance on inhalation. In addition all participants had the same chips attached to their regular nebulizers. The APP was installed on each caregivers' smartphone in the intervention group. Key modules of mobile applications include real-time monitoring of medication and health education. The ICS adherence rates were recorded by the chips and were monitored monthly by researcher. The frequency of asthma exacerbations, emergency department visits and hospital admissions in intervention group was collected by smartphone APP every 3 months. the frequency of asthma exacerbations, emergency department visits and hospital admissions in control group was investigated by researcher every 3 month. Results After 6 months follow up, although ICS compliance decreased in both groups. The first month's adherence in the intervention group was 98(97.0, 100.0)％, in the sixth month's was 96(92.0, 100.0)％. The first month's adherence in the control group was 93(68.5,100.0)％, in the sixth month's was 28(0, 55.5)％. The difference in adherence between the two groups was significant (Z=2.664, 4.318, P<0.01). The decline trend of the control group was significantly greater than that of the intervention group (F=25.097, P<0.01). The compliance of the control group was less than 60％from the third month and below 30％by the sixth month, below the average ICS compliance of 30％ to 60％ in China. Though the ICS compliance of intervention group was declining, the ICS compliance was more than 90％ and higher than the mean compliance in our country. No significant differences were found in the frequency of asthma exacerbations, emergency department visits and hospital admissions between the intervention and control group (χ2=3.043, 1.065, 1.015, P>0.05). But the frequency of asthma exacerbations, emergency department visits and hospital admissions of two times or more intervention group was lower than that in the control group. Conclusions Smartphone APP significantly improved the compliance of children with asthma aged 0 month to 3years old.
Résumé
Objective To identify the core interventions preliminarily performed by pediatric nurses for hospitalized children. Methods Based on Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC), the data of survey related to the factors of representation and frequency derived from the definition of Core Nursing Interventions were collected from 59 pediatric senior nurses above the 3rd clinical ladder, working in one of Shanghai university affiliated and tertiary children hospitals. The data was analyzed by L type of Metric Diagram. The intervention with product of two factors above 12 was selected as the core intervention. Results A total of 109 interventions were selected as core interventions on pediatric nursing from 497 interventions of NIC. The top 3 domains in quantity of interventions were physiological complex domain (36 items), physiological basic domain (26 items) and health system domain (19 items). The domain with the highest score (16.79 ± 3.42) was safety domain, followed by physiological complex domain (16.19 ± 2.98), while domain with the lowest score (13.62±2.05) was family domain. Conclusions The initial and systematic pediatric nursing core interventions were identified based on NIC and definition of core intervention. Part of core interventions reflects the characteristics of pediatric nursing practice, but more is requested to reflect the pediatric-specific care related to family-center and age-appropriated concepts. Some of inefficient interventions remind nursing administers further reflect thinking, especially on human resource management.
