Effect of Williams life skills training on posttraumatic growth and care ability for parents of children with leukemia / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective:To explore the effect of Williams life skills training on posttraumatic growth and care ability for parents of children with leukemia.Methods:A total of 86 parents of children with leukemia were assigned to Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from January to December 2019 who were devided into experimental group and control group according to the enrolled time, there were 43 cases in each group. The parents in the control group recieved routine nursing, the experimental group carried out 4-week Williams life skills training. The effect was assessed by Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) and Family Caregiver Task Inventory (FCTI), respectively.Results:Finally, 41 cases were included in the experimental group and 40 cases in the control group. After intervention, the personal strength, relating to others, spiritual change scores and total scores in PTGI were (21.10 ± 4.47), (19.95 ± 6.18), (5.12 ± 0.95), (73.41 ± 8.37) points in the experimental group, significantly higher than (18.38 ± 4.50), (17.60 ± 3.30), (4.65 ± 1.05), (66.13 ± 6.31) points in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.117-4.420, P<0.05 or 0.01). The disease cognitive ability, basic care skills, emotional management ability, ability to seek support scores and total scores in FCTI were (5.41 ± 1.76), (4.10 ± 1.09), (6.71 ± 1.12), (5.56 ± 1.16), (38.00 ± 3.92) points in the experimental group, significantly lower than (6.60 ± 1.58), (4.63 ± 1.10), (7.58 ± 1.74), (6.33 ± 1.53), (41.18 ± 4.72) points in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.164-3.286, P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusions:Williams life skills training can effectively promote posttraumatic growth and care ability in parents of children with leukemia.

Application of Williams Life Skills Training in depressive adolescents with non-suicidal self-injury / 四川精神卫生

ObjectiveTo discuss the efficacy of Williams Life Skills Training （WLST） in depressive adolescents with non-suicidal self-injury （NSSI）. MethodsA total of 88 depressive adolescents with NSSI hospitalized in Suzhou Guangji Hospital from January to June 2019 were selected and grouped according to admission order. The corresponding random number was even in intervention group （n=44） and odd as control group （n=44）. Both groups received a 4-week routine depression care， based on this， intervention group received WLST. All selected individuals were assessed using Hamilton Depression Scale-17 item （HAMD-17）， General Self-Efficacy Scale （GSES） and adolescent student life satisfaction scale at the baseline and end of treatment. Then the incidence of NSSI behavior during hospitalization and the reduction rate of HAMD-17 score at discharge were compared between the two groups. ResultsThe incidence rate of NSSI behavior during hospitalization showed significant difference between groups （χ2=11.702， P=0.001）. HAMD-17， GSES and satisfaction scores at discharge were significantly different from those at admission （tcontrol group=-5.256， 10.690， -21.220； tintervention group=-12.540， 11.300， -32.840， P<0.01）. HAMD-17， GSES， satisfaction scores and the reduction rate of HAMD-17 score also showed significant differences between groups （t=0.851， -12.809， -4.883， χ2=75.990， P<0.05 or 0.01）. ConclusionApplication of WLST in depressive adolescents with NSSI may reduce the incidence rate of NSSI behavior， alleviate the degree of depression， enhance the sense of self-efficacy， and improve life satisfaction.

Influence of Williams life skills training on preoperative anxiety and trait coping syle in patients undergoing general anesthesia elective surgery / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective To investigate the effect of Williams life skills training (WLST) on preoperative anxiety and trait coping strategies in patients undergoing general anesthesia for elective surgery. Methods A total of 120 patients undergoing general anesthesia for elective surgery were randomly divided into observation group and control group according to random number table method with 60 cases each. The control group was given general preoperative nursing intervention, on the basis of which the observation group gave WLST. Before and after the intervention, the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale and Trait Coping Style Questionnaire were used to evaluate the patients. Results Before intervention, there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). After intervention, the preoperative anxiety and information needs scores of the observation group was (10.02 ± 2.53) and (4.02 ± 1.05) points respectively, while in the control group was (15.89 ± 3.20) and (7.96 ± 1.62) points respectively, the difference was statistically significant (t=7.952, 8.447, P<0.05), and negative coping score was (29.07 ± 6.14) points lower than the control group (33.86 ± 7.12) points, positive response score was (33.89 ± 7.64) points higher than the control group (29.77 ± 6.71) points, the difference was statistically significant (t = 7.647, 7.981, P <0.05). Conclusion WLST can effectively improve preoperative anxiety in patients undergoing general anesthesia and improve their coping ability, which is conducive to the successful implementation of anesthesia and surgery.

Effect of Williams life skills training on self-efficacy of newly-graduated nurses / 现代临床护理

Objective To investigate the effect of Williams life skills training (WLST) on self-efficacy. Methods Sixty-eight newly contracted nurses during March to May 2014 in our hospital were assigned in the control group , and another sixty-eight newly-contracted nurses during March to May 2015 in our hospital in the intervention group. After the implementation of Williams life skills training, the two groups were compared in terms of transition impact and self-efficacy using the transition impact scale and general self-efficacy scale (GSES). Result After the intervention, the scores on transition impact as well as its dimensions in the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05) and the scores on self-efficacy as well as its dimensions in the intervention group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion WLST can be effective in the intervention on the newly-graduated nurses and it can effectively improve the extent of transition impact as well as their self-efficacy levels.

Effect of Williams life skills training on occupational stress and burnout in the ICU nursing / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of Williams life skills training(WLST) on the occupational stress and burnout in the nursing of the intensive care unit ( ICU ).Methods75 female nurses,from ICU of the Second Hospital of Xiangya Medical School,were randomly assigned to the study group( n=37) and the control group(n=38).A 8-week WLST was taken for the nurses in the study group,while the control group did not take training course.All subjects were assessed with nurses working stress questionnaire(NWSQ),Maslach burnout inventory(MBI) before and after the WLST.ResultsAfter 8-week WLST,the score of NWSQ decreased significantly in the study group than that of the control group( (74.09 ± 11.04 ) vs (85.42 ± 13.25 ),P ＜ 0.01 ).The score of the emotional burnout sense of job indifference decreased significantly in the study group than that of the control group((12.33 ±7.21) vs (23.97 ±.46);(3.45 ±.76) vs (7.03 ±.51)) and the score of sense of a-chievement improved obviously in the study group than that of control group( (34.18 ± 5.07 ) vs (29.31 ± 5.75 ),P ＜0.01 ).ConclusionWLST in effective to decrease the occupational stress and burnout level for the ICU nurses.
