ObjectiveTo study the effect of quality control circle (QCC) on the improvement of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurses' engagement in working.
MethodsModified Gallup's Q12 questionnaire was used to survey ICU nurses of our hospital before and after QCC was carried out, and then we compared the engagement scores.
ResultsBefore and after QCC was carried out, ICU nurses' engagement scores were statistically significant (P<0.01).
ConclusionQCC in the ICU is an effective way of improving ICU nurses' engagement, which is worth promoting.
ObjectiveTo investigate the awareness of high-quality nursing among clinical nurses in Liangshan to serve as a guide for a comprehensive development of quality nursing.
MethodsFrom June to December 2011, 196 nurses from four model hospitals of high-quality nursing were investigated with self-made questionnaires in Xichang City and Huili County in Liangshan Autonomous Region.
ResultsThe difference in high-quality nursing awareness among nurses from different ethnic composition, education and job titles was not statistically significant (P>0.05), while the working years, hospital grades and academic titles were influencing factors. Nurses' awareness from secondary hospitals was lower than those from tertiary hospitals (P<0.01).
ConclusionThe clinical nurses in Lianshan are aware of the importance of high-quality nursing at work, but they have different views on work performance evaluation due to their working years and hospital grades. Therefore, more scientific management should be strengthened to motivate nurses' working enthusiasm and improve the quality of nursing.
ObjectivesTo investigate the present status of clinical nurses' attitude towards patient safety and its influencing factors.MethodsA total of 2 290 clinical nurses in 10 large general hospitals in Anhui Province were investigated by general data and patient safety attitude questionnaire (SAQ).ResultsThe total score of the nurse's patient safety attitude was 112.57±11.83, in which the 6 dimension scores arranged from high to low were management recognition, working conditions, job satisfaction, team cooperation, safety climate, and pressure perception. Nurses who were female, marriage, college degrees, head nurse, and receivded patient safety education had higher total scores.ConclusionsScores of nurses of tertiary 3A hospitals in Anhui Province are overall above average. The influencing factors of nurses’ safety attitude are gender, marital status, education level, length of service, whether being head nurse, and whether being received safety education.

Methods A total of 175 local nurses and 175 nonlocal nurses were randomly selected and investigated by SSRS and the earthquake questionnaire. Results There were no significant differences in their knowledge about the earthquake, professional identity and action (Pgt;0.05). The total and the three dimensions scores of SSRS of the two groups were lower than those of the domestic norms (Plt;0.01) except the subjective support dimensions. The total scores, objective support and subjective support dimensions scores of nonlocal group were higher than that in the local group (Plt;0.01). In coping style questionaire, there were significant differences in solving problems and retreat factor(Plt;0.01)and no significant differences in remorse, salvation and illusion(Pgt;0.05). Conclusion The earthquake affected mental health of the nurses and their psychological state need to be much concerned,especially the nonlocal ones.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the effects of nursing-implemented sedation protocol on outcomes of mechanical ventilation and sedation in mechanically ventilated ICU patients.
MethodsWe searched EMbase (Ovid), The Joanna Briggs Institute EBP Database (Ovid), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL, Ovid), MEDLINE (Ovid), Web of Knowledge, CINAHL, CBM, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP to collect studies on nursing-implemented sedation protocol up to January 2014. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data and assessed the methodological quality of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2 software.
ResultsA total of 11 studies involving 2118 patients (1 037 were in the intervention group, and 1 081 were in the control group) were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that nursing-implemented sedation protocol could reduce the total dosage of midazolam (MD=-163.82, 95%CI -309.81 to -17.84, P=0.03), the daily dosage of midazolam (MD=-37.22, 95%CI -61.14 to -13.29, P<0.01), and the incidence rate of VAP (RR=0.53, 95%CI 0.34 to 0.81, P<0.01). However, nursing-implemented sedation protocol had no effects on the length of mechanical ventilation, the length of ICU stay, and self-extubation.
ConclusionCompared with the usual sedation management, nursing-implemented sedation protocol can reduce the dosage of midazolam and the incidence rate of VAP. But no statistical significances are found in the length of mechanical ventilation, the length of ICU and the incidence rate of self-extubation.
ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility and significance of self-training system for oncology nurses by observing the effect of the training in primary hospitals.
MethodsFrom January 2013 to January 2015, a cohort of nurses from a primary oncology hospital were trained based on the practical needs of oncologists, nurses and patients.The training system included nursing measures for chemotherapy drug extravasation and other adverse reactions, tumor emergency, peripherally inserted central catheter catheterization, cancer patients' psychological state, rehabilitation of cancer patients and cancer pain.Training and assessment were conducted using a method of combination of theory and practice.
ResultsA total of 240 nurses were trained.The theory score before and after training was respectively 72.28±2.56 and 84.85±4.17;the practice score was respectively 63.39±1.42 and 72.68±2.63.There were significant differences between the pre-training and post-training results of theory and practice scores (P < 0.05).The adverse nursing events rate three months before training was 22.1%, and was 8.8% three months after training, and the difference was significant (P < 0.05).The satisfaction rate increased from 59% one month before training to 84% one month after training.
ConclusionThe self-training system in primary tumor hospitals can improve the level of nursing care for oncology nurses and is worthy of promotion.
ObjectiveTo investigate nurses' attitude on the reporting of clinical adverse events and analyze its correlated factors in the Emergency Department.
MethodsA total of 130 nurses in a class-3 grade-A hospital were recruited in our study by convenience sampling method during November and December 2014. The Chinese version of Reporting of Clinical Adverse Events Scale was applied to assess nurses' attitude on reporting adverse events.
ResultsThe nurses' willingness to report adverse events in the Emergency Department was generally low, and the attitude scores of nurses in the triage zone, rescue zone, monitoring zone and observation zone were respectively 65.62±1.16, 65.49±0.58, 65.06±0.80, and 63.20±0.86, without any significant difference among these zones (P>0.05). The attitude scores of nurses with a seniority of 1-2, 3-5, 6-9, and ≥ 10 years were respectively 67.37±3.27, 64.49±3.98, 63.77±4.82, and 64.30±4.52, with significant differences among these seniority groups (P＜0.05). The attitude scores of nurses with a rank of nurse-in-charge, primary nurse, and nurse were respectively 61.25±4.02, 63.97±4.52, and 65.92±4.02, also with significant differences among these groups (P＜0.05).
ConclusionsThe willingness of reporting clinical adverse events in emergency nurses is not high. It is necessary to strengthen the training of nurses on their cognition of adverse events and encourage reporting, thus to create a non-punishment hospital security culture.
ObjectiveTo investigate the status of knowledge, attitude, and practice of patient identification in nurses, and provide a basis for clinical managers to carry out targeted training.MethodsA total of 3 696 nurses of tertiary, secondary, and primary hospitals in Guizhou Province were recruited and investigated for the status of knowledge, attitude, and practice of patient identification with a questionnaire by using convenient sampling in May 2019.ResultsThe scores of identification knowledge, attitude, and practice of the 3 696 nurses were 47.87±6.10, 27.39±3.15, and 57.19±4.86, respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that the higher the educational level was, the higher the score of nurses’ knowledge of patient identification was [odds ratio (OR)=1.592, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.084, 2.338), P=0.018]; the higher the personal monthly income was, the more positive the nurses’ attitude towards patient identification was [OR=1.570, 95%CI (1.005, 2.453), P=0.048].ConclusionsThe general situation of patient identification in nurses is good, but there are still differences among nurses with different characteristics. It is suggested that managers should pay special attention to the training of nurses with low educational level and low income, make them master the knowledge of patient identification, at the same time, improve their enthusiasm and standardize their behavior, so as to ensure the safety of patients.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the influence of personalized nursing intervention on the negative emotions after occupational exposure for nurses in the Emergency Department, in order to provide effective nursing intervention methods for relieving nurses' negative emotions after occupational exposure.
MethodsTwenty nurses with occupational exposure between January and September 2013 were chosen to be the control group, and another 20 nurses with occupational exposure between October 2013 and October 2014 were designated as the personalized nursing group. The level of depression and anxiety was compared between the two groups by using the self-rating depression scale (SDS) and self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) on the exposure day and 5 weeks after the exposure.
ResultsBefore intervention, SDS score of the control group was 0.65±0.04 and of the personalized nursing group was 0.63±0.05, and there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (t=0.59, P=0.44); SAS score of the control group was 51.98±6.77 and of the personalized nursing group was 50.73±10.03, and there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (t=0.37, P=0.70). After the intervention, personalized nursing group had lower scores of SDS and SAS than the control group. SDS score was 0.64±0.11 in the control group and 0.50±0.09 in the personalized nursing group with a significant difference (t=5.11, P < 0.01); SAS score was 49.53±9.49 in the control group and 42.66±9.53 in the personalized nursing group, and the difference was statistically significant (t=4.10, P < 0.01).
ConclusionThe personalized nursing intervention can effectively alleviate negative emotions after occupational exposure for nurses in the Emergency Department.
