RESUMO
Objective To investigate the correlation between job stressors, resilience and turnover intention among nurses in Beijing. Methods A total of 419 nurses from top three hospitals in Beijing were investigated with the Job Pressure Scale, Resilience Scale and Turnover Intention Questionnaire from April to May 2015. Results The major job stressors in clinical nurses were as follows: problems of the nursing profession and work, time allocation and workload, patient care, working conditions and environment, management and interpersonal relationship. The total score of job stressors was 2.15 ± 0.38. Job stressors of nurses was negatively correlated with resilience (r =-0.222, P < 0.01), positively correlated with turnover intention (r=0.221, P<0.01). Conclusions Resilience plays an important role in releasing pressure of nurses. Enhancement of resilience in nurses is an important way to relieve job stress of nurses as it can reduce the turnover intention.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the therapeutic efficacy and action mechanism of muscle-region alignment electroacupuncture in treating post-stroke shoulder pain. Method Eighty patients were randomized into a muscle-region alignment needling group and a conventional acupuncture group. The Short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ), and serum levels of IL-6, TNF-?, and NO were majorly observed before and after the treatment. Result The muscle-region alignment electroacupuncture and conventional acupuncture both obviously reduced the SF-MPQ score and down-regulated the serum levels of IL-6, TNF-?, and NO, and the decreases by the muscle-region alignment electroacupuncture were more significant than that by the conventional acupuncture. Conclusion The action of muscle-region alignment electroacupuncture in treating post-stroke shoulder pain is plausibly by down-regulating serum levels of IL-6, TNF-?, and NO, reducing or inhibiting the production of inflammatory factors and restraining inflammation.
