In the case of prostate cancer patients,are there advantages in cancer nurse‐led follow‐up?

The role of cancer nurse specialist (CNS) has expanded reflecting rapid changes in the field of prostate cancer diagnostics, treatments and improved survival outcomes. Extended roles such as CNS‐led follow‐up are aimed at helping men and their families to cope better with the impact of the disease. Aim of this study is to compare medical with CNS‐led follow‐up by assessing the patient experience, quality of life and emotional wellbeing. Primary sources of research articles were searched on selected databases: MEDLINE (1995 to September 2015), EMBASE (1995 to September 2015) and CINAHL (1995 to September 2015). The Cochrane Collaboration Assessment of Bias Collaboration's tool was used and 10 of 11 studies were selected for data extraction. The process of meta‐analysis was supported by the use of RevMen software version 5·1.7. Although there is some indication that the CNS‐led follow‐up is better, there is no statistically significant difference between medical and CNS‐led follow‐up. This review has found no statistically significant difference between medical and CNS‐led follow‐up. Therefore, it is proposed that CNS can offer a safe and effective follow‐up for people with cancer, including men with prostate cancers.     

Nurse evaluation of hyperactivity in anorexia nervosa: a comparative study

Up to 80% of patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) manifest elevated levels of physical activity or hyperactivity. A variety of methods have been used to evaluate activity levels, mostly questionnaires but also expensive and invasive methods such as actometry or other measurements of energy expenditure. Nurse observations have heretofore not been tested for validity and reliability. In this study, 18 patients with AN under treatment in a specialized eating disorder centre simultaneously rated their own physical activity levels, used an actometer, and were observed for physical activity by trained nurses. We found that nurse ratings of activity correlated significantly with the average actometer activity score (r = 0.61, p < 0.01). Patients could not rate their own activity levels accurately. Nurse observation of activity levels of AN patients during treatment is a reliable and useful monitoring tool. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and Eating Disorders Association.     

护理人员护患沟通能力培训及其态度、行为状况的调查

目的了解护理人员护患沟通能力培训及其态度、行为状况,为有效促进临床护患沟通提供参考。方法随机抽取湖北省6所三级甲等医院护士445人,采用自设问卷对其进行护患沟通能力培训及其态度、行为的调查。结果 87.19%的护士接受过护患沟通培训,49.23%上次培训时间在1年内,接受培训的方式以专题讲座(60.57%)为主。88.09%的护士认为护患沟通很重要,96.42%的护士乐于与患者沟通,但仍有25.85%的护士认为有效、融洽的护患沟通比较困难。认为影响沟通的原因是太忙(81.35%),66.07%的护士认为沟通不良是投诉主要原因。沟通途径以口头为主(95.28%),62.25%的护士每天沟通在5次以下,94.16%的护士在白班时间沟通。结论护士接受护患沟通知识培训率偏低,培训方式单一,且培训频率较低;护士有良好的护患沟通意识。为提高护患沟通的有效性,应加强护士沟通技能培训,使之端正沟通态度,将意识付诸行动,注重沟通技巧,综合掌握灵活运用,提高护患沟通效果。     

Optimal sedation for gastrointestinal endoscopy: Review and recommendations

Sedation practices for endoscopy vary widely. The present review focuses on the commonly used regimens in endoscopic sedation and the associated risks and benefits together with the appropriate safety measures and monitoring practices. In addition, alternatives and additions to intravenous sedation are discussed. Personnel requirements for endoscopic sedation are reviewed; there is evidence presented to indicate that non‐anesthetists can administer sedative drugs, including propofol, safely and efficaciously in selected cases. The development of endoscopic sedation as a multi‐disciplinary field is highlighted with the formation of the Australian Tripartite Endoscopy Sedation Committee. This comprises representatives of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists, the Gastroenterological Society of Australia and the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. Possible future directions in this area are also briefly summarized.

目的调查凉山州地区急诊科护士焦虑状况。方法采用问卷调查法,调查焦虑自评量表(SAS)评分,并与中国常模比较,分析其焦虑情况。结果急诊科护士SAS评分高于中国常模,差异有统计学意义(P<0.01),焦虑症状检出率高于中国常模。聘用护士焦虑发生率高于在编护士,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。汉族护士的焦虑发生率高于少数民族,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论急诊科护士焦虑程度明显高于普通人群,医院应充分重视并采取合理有效的干预措施,以促进其身心健康。     

儿科护士心理健康状况调查及干预对策探讨

目的了解儿科护士的心理健康状况,并对其产生的原因进行分析,提出相应的干预对策。方法采用SCL-90症状自评量表对6所二级甲等以上医院的儿科病房护士108名和普通病房护士110名进行问卷调查,并进行对比分析。结果儿科病房护士的总均分及阳性项目数均高于普通病房护士,差异有统计学意义（P〈0.05）。各因子分中除恐怖与精神病性2个因子分外,其余因子得分儿科病房护士明显高于普通病房护士,差异均有统计学意义（P〈0.05）。结论与普通病房护士比较,儿科病房护士显示出较多的心理问题,常见的心理障碍为焦虑、抑郁及强迫。管理者及护理人员自身应采取切实有效的措施,维护和促进儿科护士的心理健康,进一步提高护理质量。     

护士视角下的和谐护患关系

现代护理模式要求建直和谐的护患关系。构建和谐护患关系要求护士尊重患者,平等待患;建立同感心,富有同情心;加强护患沟通,增进相互信任;强化业务学习,提升专业技能。当前,护士视角下的和谐护患关系要求护士树立人文服务理念,重视情商培养,加强礼仪培训,提升沟通技能。
