Human factors in pelvic surgery

In the pelvis, anatomic complexity and difficulty in visualization and access make surgery a formidable task. Surgeons are prone to work-related musculoskeletal injuries from the frequently poor design and flow of their work environment. This is exacerbated by the strain of surgery in the pelvis. These injuries can result in alterations to a surgeons practice, inadvertent patient injury, and even early retirement. Human factors examines the relationships between the surgeon, their instruments and their environment. By bridging physiology, psychology, and ergonomics, human factors allows a better understanding of some of the challenges posed by pelvic surgery. The operative approach involved (open, laparoscopic, robotic, or perineal) plays an important role in the relevant human factors. Improved understanding of ergonomics can mitigate these risks to surgeons. Other human factors approaches such as standardization, use of checklists, and employing resiliency efforts can all improve patient safety in the operating theatre.     

Secondary Qualitative Analysis of Moral Injury in Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses

ObjectiveTo investigate the presence of symptoms of moral injury in obstetric and neonatal nurses.DesignA secondary qualitative analysis using an analytic expansion of three primary studies.SettingPostal mail and electronic surveys.ParticipantsI used three primary studies: participants in the first consisted of 78 labor and delivery nurses, participants in the second consisted of 75 nurse-midwives, and participants in the third consisted of 22 NICU nurses.MethodsI used Krippendorff’s content analysis method for qualitative data to reanalyze the three primary data sets. The categories I used in this analysis were the 10 symptoms of moral injury that are assessed by the Moral Injury Symptoms Scale–Health Professionals Version.ResultsWhen combining the three types of obstetric and neonatal participants, the top three most frequently cited symptoms of moral injury were moral concern, guilt, and self-condemnation. For participants in labor and delivery units and NICUs, moral concern was the most often described symptom, whereas for participants in midwifery it was guilt. None of the participants reported loss of meaning in their lives, loss of faith, or religious struggle. Participants who worked in NICUs did not describe any symptoms of shame or difficulty forgiving.ConclusionIn addition to the primary symptoms of moral injury, reported secondary consequences of moral injury can include depression, anxiety, anger, self-harm, and social problems. Interventions such as acceptance and commitment therapy are needed to help nurses address the potential for moral injury and repair its effects. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, now more than ever, moral injury needs to be recognized in obstetric and neonatal nurses and not just in the military population.

稳定期慢性阻塞性肺疾病患者报告结局现状及影响因素分析

目的 了解稳定期慢性阻塞性肺疾病 (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,COPD) 患者报告结局现状,分析其影响因素及与炎症指标的相关性,为开展以患者为中心的早期护理干预提供依据。 方法 采用便利抽样法,选取2020年10月—2021年7月于南宁市某三级甲等医院呼吸内科门诊就诊的稳定期COPD患者作为调查对象,采用一般资料调查表、COPD患者报告结局量表修订版 (the Modified Patient-Reported Outcome Scale for COPD,mCOPD-PRO) 进行调查,并收集患者就诊时炎症指标的结果。采用多元线性回归分析稳定期COPD患者报告结局的影响因素,采用相关性分析探讨患者报告结局与炎症指标的关系。结果 该研究共纳入204例稳定期COPD患者,mCOPD-PRO得分为 (1.75±0.58) 分。多元线性回归分析显示,性别、合并疾病数量、病程、肺功能分级是稳定期COPD患者报告结局的影响因素 (P<0.05),可解释稳定期COPD患者报告结局10.8%的总变异。相关性分析显示,白细胞计数、中性粒细胞计数、嗜酸性粒细胞计数与稳定期COPD患者的mCOPD-PRO得分呈正相关 (P<0.05) ;总白蛋白浓度与其呈负相关 (P<0.05) 。结论 稳定期COPD患者报告结局有待改善,女性、合并疾病数量>3种、病程较长、肺功能分级较高的COPD患者报告的结局较差。COPD患者报告结局与白细胞计数、中性粒细胞计数、嗜酸性粒细胞计数、总白蛋白浓度相关。护理人员应关注稳定期COPD患者报告结局及炎症指标,在早期采取针对性的干预措施,以改善患者的生活质量。
