Logistic Regression Analysis and Nursing Interven-tions for High-risk Factors for Pressure Sores in Pa-tients in a Surgical Intensive Care Unit

摘要:Objective: To investigate the risk factors related to the development of pressure sores in critically ill surgical patients and to establish a basis for the formulation of effective precautions. <br> Methods: A questionnaire regarding the factors for pressure sores in critically ill surgical patients was created using a case control study with reference to the pertinent literature. After being exam-ined and validated by experts, the questionnaire was used to collect data about critically ill surgical patients in a grade A tertiary hospital. Among the 47 patients enrolled into the study, the 14 who developed nosocomial pressure sores were allocated to the pressure sore group, and the remaining 33 patients who met the inclusion criteria and did not exhibit pressure sores were allocated to the control group. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to examine the differences in 22 indicators between the two groups in an attempt to identify the risk factors for pressure sores. <br> Results: According to the univariate analyses, the maximum value of lactic acid in the arterial blood, the number of days of norepinephrine use, the number of days of mechanical ventilation, the number of days of blood purification, and the number of days of bowel incontinence were sta-tistically greater in the pressure sore group than in the control group ( P<0. 05) . The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the number of days of norepinephrine use and the level of lactic acid in the arterial blood were high risk-factors for pressure sores ( P<0. 05) . <br> Conclusions: The best method for preventing and control pressure sores in surgical critically ill patients is to strongly emphasize the duration of the critical status and to give special attention to patients in a continuous state of shock. The adoption of measures specific to high-risk patient groups and risk factors, including the active control of primary diseases and the application of de-compression measures during the treatment of the patients, are helpful for improving the quality of care in the prevention and control of pressure sores in critically ill patients.

摘要:Objective: To evaluate the adjuvant treatment of acute stage symptoms and quality of life of patients with bullous pemphigoid (BP) with ozone.Methods: We included 74 patients with moderate and severe BP hospitalized from July 2018 to December 2020. The par ticipants were randomly divided into the control group and the ozone group, with 37 patients in each group (n = 37). The control group used tap water to wash the whole body, and mupirocin ointment was used for the erosions. The ozone group used ozone water to wash the whole body, and the erosion place was coated with ozone oil. The bullous pemphigoid disease area index (BPDAI) score of BP disease was used to observe the clinical symptoms and skin lesions of the two groups before and on day 3, 7, and 14 after treatment. Pruritus and sleep were observed before and on day 3, 7, and 14 after treatment. The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) was used to observe the quality of life before and after treatment and the adverse reactions were recorded. Results: The total BPDAI score and erythema score in the ozone group were significantly different from those in the control group on day 3, 7, and 14 after treatment (P < 0.050). The scab drying time and erosion drying time of ozone group were shorter than that of control group (P < 0.001). There were statistically significant differences between the ozone group and the control group in pruritus score and sleep score on day 3, 7, and 14 after treatment (P < 0.001). There was statistically significant difference in skin disease quality of life between the two groups 14 days after treatment (P < 0.001). No significant adverse reactions and complications were observed in both groups. Conclusions: Ozone external use can rapidly improve the acute stage of edema erythema, erosion, and itching of BP, improve the quality of life of patients, is an effective treatment method, and wor thy of clinical promotion.

The Relationship between Social Support and Burnout among ICU Nurses in Shanghai:A Cross-Sectional Study

摘要:Objective: The associations between social support and burnout were explored in ICU nurses of Shanghai. <br> Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of 356 ICU nurses by applying random cluster sampling. Data were collected using self-reported questionnaires under the instruction of trained investigators. Data on emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and feelings of low personal ac-complishment etc. were collected, calculated and analyzed. <br> Results: The participants had a mean age of 26. 96 years ( SD 4. 07) . The mean value ( M) and stand-ard deviation ( SD) of emotional exhaustion was M=31. 85, SD=8. 38, those of depersonalisation was M=11. 69, SD=5. 54 and those of feelings of low personal accomplishment was M=19. 79, SD=7. 02. The high degree of emotional exhaustion ( EE) , depersonalisation ( DP) , and lack of personal accom-plishment ( PA) were revealed to be 76. 4%, 39. 6%, and 94. 9%, respectively. The major influencing factors of emotional exhaustion included support from co-workers( b=0. 343, t=1. 98, P=0. 049) , tak-ing leave( b=-1. 182, t=-3. 747, P=0. 001) , requisition of work( b=-1. 41, t=-2. 369, P=0. 018) , and supervisor support( b=-0. 524, t=-3. 926, P=0. 001) . The major influencing factors of depersonalisa-tion were support from the supervisor( b=-0. 333, t=-4. 146, P=0. 001) , age( b=-0. 89, t=-2. 272, P=0. 024) and requisition of work( b=-0. 148, t=-2. 124, P=0. 034) . There was a positive co-relationship between personal accomplishment and supervisor support. <br> Conclusions: Supervisor support, age, and requisition of work were the major influencing fac-tors of depersonalisation. In addition, supervisor support plays an important role in low personal accomplishment. Further research should focus on supervisor support, co-worker support, time on leave, and requisition of work associated with emotional exhaustion.

Analysis of risk factors and the establishment of a risk model for peripherally inserted central catheter thrombosis

摘要:Objective: To investigate the main risk factors of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) related upper extremity deep venous thrombosis and establish the risk predictive model of PICC-related upper extremity deep venous thrombosis. <br> Methods: Patients with PICC who were hospitalized between January 2014 and July 2015 were studied retrospectively; they were divided into a thrombosis group (n ? 52), with patients who had a venous thrombosis complication after PICC, and a no-thrombosis group (n ? 144), with patients without venous thrombosis. To compare between the two groups, significantly different variables were selected to perform multivariate logistic regression to establish the risk-predictive model. <br> Results: The PICC catheter history, catheter tip position, and diameter of blood vessel were the key factors for thrombosis. The logistic regression predictive model was as follows:Y ? 3.338 t 2.040 ? PICC catheter history t1.964? catheter tip position ?1.572? diameter of vessel. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the model was 0.872, 95%CI (0.817e0.927). The cut-off point was 0.801, the sensitivity of the model was 0.832, and the specificity was 0.745. <br> Conclusions: The PICC catheterization history, catheter tip position, the diameter of blood vessel were the key factors for thrombosis. The logistic regression risk model based on these factors is reliable for predicting PICC-related upper extremity deep venous thrombosis.

The Application of Multimedia Messaging Services via Mobile Phones to Support Outpatients:Home Nursing Guidance for Pediatric Intestinal Colostomy Complications

摘要:Objective: To present a model of extended home nursing support provided through WeChat for pediatric colostomy patients between the first and second surgery to support parents and to assist them in nursing possible complications at home, to reduce colostomy complications caused by improper care, to improve the quality of life of patients at home and to ensure the success of the recovery and second surgery. Methods: A combination of relevant clinical information, health care guidelines, and training as well as the establishment of a specific monitoring protocol was provided to the parents during the patient’ s first hospitalization. A support system for nursing the colostomy was established with regular follow-up via WeChat after the patient’ s first discharge from the hospital using a predetermined protocol. During the 3 to 6 months of home care in-between the colostomy operations, the charge nurse initiated the phone follow-up and provided specific, individual guidance and feedback. If necessary, extended serv-ice at predetermined intervals was provided in the 1st week, the 1st month, the 2nd month and the 3rd month. Results: Extended assistance for the home care of patients with pediatric colostomy complications im-proved the quality of life of the patients and caregivers and was accepted by all parties involved upon in-troduction. The assistance provided support for the parents at all hours, efficiently reduced the level of complications for this type of patient and facilitated fast referrals to hospital care in cases of emergen-cies. Furthermore it paved the way to successful second stage surgeries, provided direct feedback to the charge nurse and improved the work satisfaction and sense of achievement of the nurses involved. Conclusions: All 80 cases supported by WeChat successfully underwent two-stage pediatric colostomy operations. The response of the parents and the medical staff involved was very positive. This method is easy to use, economical to operate and could be applied generally to support home care.

Effectiveness of flipped classrooms in nursing education: Systematic review and meta-analysis

摘要:Background:The flipped classroom has generated considerable interest in nursing education in the last few years,especially in higher education in China.However,research to date has been insufficient to confirm the effectiveness of the flipped classroom approach.Since most of the Chinese studies are published in Chinese journals,they may not be easily accessible to international researchers.Therefore,this meta-analysis aimed to review the effectiveness of a flipped classroom in nursing education both in English and Chinese databases.Objective:The aim of the present study was to identify the robust available evidence about the effectiveness of flipped classrooms in nursing education through a systematic review and meta-analysis.Methods:A systematic search of English databases,including PubMed,EMBASE,Science Director,CINAHL and Google Scholar,and Chinese databases,including Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),WanFang Data,VIP Information and Chinese Biomedical Literature (CMB),were conducted to identify peer-reviewed studies that met the inclusion criteria.Two reviewers independently performed study identification with Endnote X7 software and used Excel to extract data.The risk of bias in the included studies was assessed with Cochrane Collaboration's risk of bias tool,and a meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3 software following the guidelines proposed by PRISMA reporting standards with the protocol register No.CRD42016041826.Results:A total of 29 studies were included in systematic review.There was a significant post-intervention improvement in academic performance both in knowledge with a pooled random-effects standardized mean difference of 1.13 and skills with a pooled random-effects standardized mean difference (SMD) of 1.68.Students' self-learning abilities were also improved with a pooled random-effects SMD of 1.51 compared with traditional lecture.In the subgroup analysis,we found that the effect sizes had high fidelity in terms of nursing degrees and research settings.There was a high rating of flipped classroom pedagogy from teaching evaluations,study satisfaction,study attitude and improvement in critical thinking and problem-solving skills.Conclusions:These results indicated that a flipped classroom might help nursing students improve in knowledge,skills,attitudes,self-learning,study satisfaction,critical thinking and problem-solving skills.We recommend adopting this approach for nursing education reform.There is a call for robust empirical research and unification of appraisal standards for further support of the effectiveness of the flipped classroom.Furthermore,a meta-regression analysis is also recommended to explore the sources of heterogeneity in included studies.
