Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of family participation in the care of patients with severe pneumonia and its impact on the family of patients. Methods For severe pneumonia and respiratory failure patients admitted to three adult ICUs of a tertiary class A hospital in Gansu Province between March 2019 and March 2023,the patients were divided into an intervention group and a control group based on the preferences of both the patients and their family members. Patients in the control group received routine care. In the intervention group,family members were encouraged to participate in the daily life of patients(washing face,brushing teeth,foot bath,etc.) and participated in the early activities of patients under the guidance of medical personnel. The primary outcomes included the incidence of delirium,cognitive impairment,and 1-year mortality. Results 261 patients were eventually enrolled and assigned to the intervention group(n=134) or control group (n=127). Incidence of delirium in intervention group and control group were 23.88% and 40.94%,frequency of delirium was (0.61 ± 1.25) vs (1.26 ± 1.82),incidence of cognitive dysfunction 23.88% vs 44.09%,and there were statistically differences(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of ICU acquired weakness,ICU acquired infection and adverse events between groups(P>0.05). Patients in the intervention group exhibited a higher 1-year survival rate(73.88% vs 59.06%) and quality of life score compared to the control group,and there were statistically differences(P<0.05). Family members in the intervention group reported lower total illness uncertainty scores than those in the control group(80.11 ± 4.23 vs. 82.91 ± 4.64) and higher overall satisfaction(90.81 ± 5.17 vs. 85.60 ± 4.72),with these differences being statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion The participation of family members in the care of patients with severe pneumonia is not only beneficial to reduce the incidence of delirium and cognitive impairment in patients with severe pneumonia in ICU,shorten the length of hospitalization,improve the quality of life and 1-year survival rate,but also help reduce the uncertainty of disease and improve the satisfaction of family membersn ICU.

Objective To compare and analyze the effects of high-flow nasal cannula(HFNC) and conventional oxygen therapy(COT) on thirst and dry mouth after extubation in mechanically ventilated patients. Methods A prospective cohort study was applied. Conveniently selected 226 patients who underwent mechanical ventilation and were hospitalized in the ICU of a tertiary Grade A hospital in Shiyan City from May 2022 to April 2024 as the study subjects. According to the oxygen therapy plan after extubation,patients were divided into HFNC group and COT group. Propensity Score Matching(PSM) was applied to balance the general information of two groups of patients. The degree of thirst and dry mouth after extubation were compared and analyzed between two groups. Results After PSM,multiple indicators were matched and balanced in both HFNC and COT groups,with improved comparability(P>0.05). 4 and 24 hours after extubation,the degree of thirst in the HFNC group was significantly reduced compared to the COT group(P<0.05). However,there was no significant difference in the degree of dry mouth between the two groups. There was no correlation between thirst sensation and oral dryness after extubation among HFNC and COT patients(P>0.05). Conclusion Compared with COT,HFNC therapy can reduce the intensity of thirst in mechanical ventilation patients within 24 hours after extubation,but has no significant effect on the degree of dry mouth in patients.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of subsyndromal delirium(SSD) in Intensive Care Unit(ICU) patients with sepsis,construct and validate a risk prediction model for SSD,and provide an effective predictive tool for clinical practice. Methods The sepsis patients admitted to the intensive care unit(ICU) of a tertiary Grade A hospital in Xiamen,China were selected as research objects from April 2021 to October 2023. The delirium status of the patients was comprehensively evaluated using the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist and the Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU,and the patients were divided into the SSD group and the non-delirium group. Univariate logistic regression analysis and LASSO regression were used for variable selection,and multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to establish a risk prediction model for SSD and construct static and dynamic nomograms. The predictive value of the model was comprehensively evaluated using calibration curves,receiver operating characteristic curves(ROC curves),and decision curve analysis(DCA). Results The results of logistic regression analysis showed that age(OR=1.045),smoking history(OR=3.100),physical restraint(OR=3.611),remifentanil use(OR=0.040),and Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale score(OR=0.244) were identified as independent risk factors for SSD in ICU patients with sepsis. The internal evaluation and validation results of the model showed that the areas under the ROC curves of the modeling group and the validation group were 0.877(95%CI:0.839~0.914) and 0.812(95%CI:0.718~0.906),respectively,indicating that the model had high predictive accuracy. The P values of the Hosmer-Lemeshow test were 0.548 and 0.623,respectively,indicating that the model fit well. Conclusion This study constructed a risk prediction model for SSD in ICU patients with sepsis,which is helpful for clinical medical staff to identify SSD early and take preventive measures,thereby reducing the risk of SSD in ICU patients with sepsis.

Objective To investigate the current situation and influencing factors of transitional care needs of patients after surgery for aortic dissection,with a view to developing an optimal continuity of care practice program for patients. Methods Using convenience sampling,222 patients after surgery for aortic dissection who were about to be discharged from the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of a tertiary class A general hospital in Wuhan,Hubei Province,from March 2022 to June 2022 were selected as the study subjects,and a self-designed questionnaire on the transitional care needs of patients after surgery for aortic dissection was applied to conduct the survey. Results In this study,the total of transitional care needs of patient after surgery for aortic dissection was(116.8±112.54) and the mean score of the total entries was(3.77±0.40). The item with the highest mean score of each dimension was the need for safety,followed by love and belonging needs,and physiological needs. The highest demand for service channels in the transitional care for patient after surgery for aortic dissection was telephone follow-up,with 168 cases(75.67%). The need of staff for transitional care service was mostly the medical and nursing staff of the inpatient hospital,accounting for 152 cases(68.47%). The start of the transitional care service was mostly within 2 weeks after discharge from the hospital,accounting for 154 cases(69.37%). The frequency of transitional care services was mostly once every 1 month,accounting for 176 cases(79.28%),and the duration of transitional care was mostly 6 months,accounting for 94 cases(42.34%). 129 patients(58.11%) were willing to pay for transitional care services,of which the majority of patients chose to pay by item,accounting for 78 cases(60.47%). The results of the multivariate analysis showed that the factors influencing the scores of patients' transitional care needs were age,education level,employment,per capita monthly household income,and open surgery(P<0.05). Conclusion The transitional care needs for patient after surgery for aortic dissection is moderately high,with the need for safety being the most significant,and the ways in which patients' transitional care needs services are diverse. The transitional care needs for patient after surgery for aortic dissection is influenced by multiple factors. This suggests that healthcare professionals should actively develop targeted and diversified transitional care services to meet the individual needs of patients.

Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (1190KB) ( )  

Objective To explore the dynamic changes of symptoms after discharge among patients undergoing daytime lung cancer surgery and analyze their influencing factors. Methods A longitudinal study was conducted in a tertiary hospital in Zhejiang Province,enrolling patients who underwent daytime lung cancer surgery between October 2023 and January 2024. Postoperative symptoms were assessed using a lung cancer symptom scale on days 1,3,14,and 30 after discharge. Group-Based Trajectory Modeling(GBTM) was used to identify the post-discharge symptom trajectory categories among patients. Patient characteristics among different trajectory groups were compare,and the mean symptom response index was used to analyze the longitudinal changes of individual postoperative symptoms. Results Three trajectory groups were identified:mild symptoms-slowly decreasing group(n=184, 89.32%),severe symptoms-rapidly decreasing group(n=19,9.22%),and mild symptoms-worsening group(n=3,1.46%). Significant differences were observed among these post-discharge symptom trajectory groups in terms of age,surgical approach,and tumor type(P<0.05). On the first day after discharge,cough and pain were the most common symptoms,occurring in 180 cases(87.38%) and 197 cases(95.63%) respectively. Cough remained the predominant symptom on day 30 post-discharge(n=129,62.62%). In the mean symptom response index,constipation increased from 7.9 on day 1 to 9.2 on day 3,while dyspnea increased from 2.7 on day 1 to 6.7 on day 14. Conclusion There is significant heterogeneity in the dynamic symptom changes after discharge among daytime lung cancer surgery patients. Medical and nursing staff can formulate targeted care strategies based on differences in patient characteristics across the trajectory groups and changes in the mean symptom response index for individual symptoms,thereby improving patient rehabilitation and providing high-quality,whole-course nursing care.

Objective To review the related studies on the risk prediction model of extracorporeal circulation coagulation in patients with continuous renal replacement therapy. Methods The searches of Chinese and English databases were conducted to collect relevant literature on predictive models of coagulation risk in extracorporeal circulation in patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy that were publicly available from the time of database construction to November 8,2024,and the descriptive statistical analysis was conducted. Results A total of 8 literatures,mostly single-center studies,were included,with a modeling sample size of 79 to 1,752 cases and the number of outcome events ranging from 51 to 558. The model construction methods included cox proportional hazard model,logistic regression model and machine learning,and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.732~0.898. The predictors that appeared the most frequently were anticoagulation modality,blood flow rate,APTT and platelet count. Conclusion The risk prediction model of extracorporeal circulation coagulation in continuous renal replacement therapy is of great significance for identifying high-risk patients in advance,guiding clinical decision-making,reducing the incidence of coagulation and improving patient prognosis. The current models had good predictive efficiency,but the model evaluation and validation were insufficient,and the overall risk of bias was high. Future studies need to optimize existing models and develop more stable and clinically applicable predictive models.

Research progress on the current situation and coping strategies of verbal violence against nurses in medical settings
QI Jianwei, LIU Min, JIANG Jing, ZHAO Qinghua
2025, 6 (11):  1394-1398.  doi: 10.3761/j.issn.2096-7446.2025.11.018

Verbal violence in medical setting has emerged as a global issue demanding immediate resolution. This article provides an overview of the concept and types of hospital verbal violence among nurses,the current prevalence and coping strategies. It is found that the incidence of verbal violence among nurses varies significantly across different countries,verbal violence incidents occur frequently in medical settings but nurses have a weak willingness to report such incidents actively,nurses are subjected to dual assaults of verbal violence from both within and outside the organization. The coping strategies primarily include utilizing violence risk assessment tools to enhance nurses' ability to recognize early signs of violence;scientifically conducting specialized violence prevention training to comprehensively improve nurses' skills in responding to violence;and improving the legal framework for workplace violence in medical institutions, with increased penalties for verbal violence,to strengthen the punishment of verbal violence behaviors. The aim of this article is to heighten the attention of the entire society to the verbal violence endured by nurses in medical settings and offer references for further intervention research and the promotion of a safe practice environment for nurses.

Nursing clinical decision-making is a systematic process in which nurses use critical thinking to formulate and implement the optimal scheme for clinical problems based on theory and practical experience. The characteristics of ICU nurses' work is to make rapid and massive decisions under the condition of limited information and time constraints,which make intuitive impact on patient condition. This paper analyzes ICU nurse clinical decision-making from the perspective of behavioral economics,and discusses the formation of clinical decision-making from the theory of bounded rationality,deviation theory and prospect theory,elaborate on the causes of clinical decision-making bias in ICU nurses from bounded rationality,limited willpower,and dynamic preferences. This paper put forward strategies such as introducing large language model to assist decision making,nudge theory,promoting the development of joint decision-making,so as to lay the foundation for improving the quality of nursing decision-making in critical care teams and better serve clinical practice.

Objective To explore the application effect of single-person secondary compression puncture technique of external jugular vein in emergency surgery for patients with shock. Methods A total of 116 patients undergoing shock emergency surgery with external jugular vein puncture between January 2023 and December 2024 were selected as study participants. They were randomly assigned to an experimental group and a control group,with 58 patients in each group. The experimental group established an external jugular vein access using a single-person double-compression puncture technique,whereas the control group established venous access via conventional double-person blind compression of the external jugular vein. Comparisons were made between the two groups in terms of the first-attempt puncture success rate,overall puncture success rate,venous blood return time after puncture,time taken for successful puncture,incidence of infusion obstruction,and incidence of complications. Results The success rates of both first-attempt puncture and overall puncture in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05). Compared with the control group,the experimental group exhibited a significant reduction in both the time taken for venous blood return and successful puncture,as well as a decrease in the incidence of infusion obstruction,all with statistically significant differences(P<0.05). Furthermore,the incidence of infusion-related complications was lower in the experimental group(1.72%) than in the control group(12.07%). Conclusion The single-person secondary compression puncture technique for external jugular vein can significantly improve the first-attempt puncture success rate and total success rate of external jugular vein access establishment in emergency surgery for shock patients,shorten the puncture vein blood return time and puncture success time,reduce the incidence of infusion obstruction and complications,and improve the efficiency and quality of emergency nursing.
