Status and correlation of satisfaction and self-efficacy of clinical nursing students in nursing students / 现代临床护理

Objective To understand the current situation of satisfaction and self-efficacy of nursing students in clinical practice and to explore the correlation between the two. Method A total of 120 nursing students in clinical practice were investigated using the general nursing student satisfaction scale and the general self-efficacy scale (GSES). Results The satisfaction score of nursing students was(151.89 ± 22.36)points and the score of nursing students self-efficacy was(29.06 ± 6.70)points.Nursing students self-efficacy was positively correlated with their job satisfaction (r=0.390,P＜0.01).Regression analysis showed that nursing students self-efficacy had a significant impact on job satisfaction (t=3.363,P＜0.01). Conclusion According to the characteristics of nursing students,clinical nursing education administrators should formulate and implement targeted interventions to deepen their love of nurses and improve their sense of self-efficacy,so as to enhance job satisfaction of nursing students.

Accuracy of air column width difference between inflation and deflation of cuff of endotracheal tube in predicting post-extubation stridor / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of air column width difference (ACWD) between inflation and deflation of the cuff of the endotracheal tube (ETT) in predicting post-extubation stridor (PES).Methods A total of 102 intubated patients of both sexes and all ages,who were mechanically ventilated for ≥24 h in the intensive care unit,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅲ or Ⅳ,were enrolled in the study.After the patients were in a stable condition and recovered consciousness and myodynamia,they were weaned from the ventilator,and ultrasound examination of the larynx was performed to determine ACWD between ETT cuff inflation and deflation.PES was assessed using blinding nethod after extubation,and the patients were divided into 2 groups depending on whether or not the patients developed PES:PES group (group P) and non-PES group (group N).Results There were 94 patients in group N and 8 patients in group P.Compared with group N,ACWD was significantly decreased in group P (P＜ 0.05).The cut-off value of ACWD determined by the receiver operating characteristic curve was 1.65 mm,the sensitivity and specificity of ACWD were 0.830 and 0.750,respectively,and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.801.Conclusion For the intubated patients who are mechanically ventilated for ≥24 h in an intensive care unit,ACWD between ETT cuff inflation and deflation＜ 1.65 mm can effectively predict PES.

IMPROVED METHODS APPLIED IN THE NEONATAL BLUE LIGHT EYE TREATMENT / 现代医院

Objective To explore the effect of the application of the modified eye shield in neonatal phototheraphy . Methods 120 neonates with jaundice were chosen and randomly divided into two groups (60 each).Control group was only applied to normal eye shield, while the improved group used the modified eye shield, wrapping with gauze, and then mositen the eyes with 1~2 Tobramycin eye drops on each side.Both groups were fixed with 3M tapes.After a 24 -hour photothera-py, the incidence rate of reseola, skin rash and eye secretions were compared.Results The improved group has better pro-tective effect and the difference between these two groups is of great statiscally significance(p<0.05).Conclusion The ap-plication of modified eye shield could effectively protect their eyes from neonatal roseola, skin rash and eye secretions, im-prove the feeling of comfort and promote high quality nursing service .
