RESUMO
An operationally simple and green protocol using a NiSO4·6H2O/cationic 2,2'-bipyridyl ligand system as a water-soluble catalyst for the coupling of arylboronic acids with (2-haloallyl)phosphonates and (2-haloallyl)sulfones in water under air was developed. The reaction was performed at 120 °C with arylboronic acids (2 mmol) and (2-haloallyl)phosphonates or sulfones (1 mmol) in the presence of 5 mol % of the Ni catalytic system in a basic aqueous solution for 1 h, giving the corresponding 2-aryl allyl phosphonates or sulfones in good to excellent yields. This reaction features the use of an abundant transition metal as a catalyst in water and exhibits high functional group tolerance, rendering it an eco-friendly procedure.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Skin tear knowledge is an important predictor of the decreased incidence and management of skin tears, and the knowledge level among Chinese nurses is unknown so far. A validated instrument for measuring skin tear knowledge is urgent. OBJECTIVE: To culturally adapt the skin tear knowledge assessment instrument (OASES) into Chinese and verify its validity and reliability in the Chinese context. METHODS: The cultural adaptation process for OASES into Chinese was established on Beaton's translation model. Content validity was determined by the 8-expert group in wound care. A nationwide psychometric validation study was performed on a convenience sample of 3333 nurses from 113 tertiary hospitals, of whom 98 nurses finished the test-retest procedure for reliability analysis. Item validity (item difficulty and discriminating index) and construct validity (known-groups technique) were tested. RESULTS: The content validity index was 0.88-1.00. The item validity was as follows: Item difficulty ranged from 0.16 to 0.86, with an average value of 0.52; the discriminating index varied between 0.05 and 0.61. The known-group technique demonstrated excellent construct validity with a significant difference between predefined groups with theoretically expected higher knowledge scores and theoretically expected lower knowledge scores (P < 0.001). For the test-retest reliability, the Intraclass correction coefficient (ICC) during a 14-day interval for the overall tool was 0.79 (95% CI = 0.71-0.86), and Cohen's kappa value for each item varied from 0.17 to 0.62. CONCLUSIONS: The Chinese version of OASES was validated to be suitable for skin tear knowledge assessment with acceptable psychometric properties, through which the knowledge and training priorities of skin tear among Chinese nurses can be quantified.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To explore the effects of a home care mobile app on the outcomes of stoma patients who discharged from hospital. BACKGROUND: Patients with a newly formed stoma experience many difficulties after surgery. Mobile application (app) has the potential to help patients self-manage their diseases and adjust to the changes in their lives and is a convenient way to ensure the continuity of care. However, there is a lack of studies about the effects of a mobile app on the transitional care for improving discharged stoma-related health outcomes. DESIGN: A randomised controlled trial. METHODS: A total of 203 patients with a permanent stoma in tertiary hospitals in China were randomly assigned into two groups. Patients in the control group (n = 103) received routine discharge care. Patients in the intervention group (n = 100) received home care via a mobile app besides routine care. The psychosocial adjustment level, self-efficacy scale and stoma complications incidence were measured in the follow-up period and compared between the two groups. Data were collected at four time points: before intervention (baseline), at 1, 3 and 6 months after discharge. RESULTS: The psychosocial adjustment level and stoma self-efficacy score of the intervention group were significantly higher than those of the control group, respectively, at 1-, 3- and 6-month follow-up (all p < 0.05). The incidence of stoma complications in the intervention group was tending to reduce at 1, 3 and 6 months after discharge. CONCLUSION: The findings indicated that follow-up care at home via a mobile app can effectively improve the psychosocial adjustment level, self-efficacy scale and other related outcomes of stoma patients. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: The home care mobile app is an effective intervention to support the psychosocial adjustment and self-efficacy of stoma patients after discharge. It ensures the continuity of care and provides nursing guidance for the patients timely.
