Gerontological Nursing Leadership in the Advancing Excellence Campaign: Moving interdisciplinary collaboration forward

Nursing was not a part of the coalition of multiple nursing home stakeholders at the roll out of the Advancing Excellence Campaign (AEC). In January 2007, several nurse organizations proactively approached the AEC leadership, were welcomed and immediately began to volunteer for leadership positions such as committee chairs and conference coordinators. This paper presents an exemplar of how a proactive stance, even when not initially included, allowed nurses to secure chairs at the decision making table of this quality campaign and contribute to improved resident outcomes.     

非体外循环冠状动脉搭桥术合并糖尿病患者的强化护理干预

目的观察强化护理应用于非体外循环冠状动脉搭桥术合并糖尿病患者的效果。方法选择本院2013年1-12月收治的需行非体外循环冠状动脉搭桥术合并糖尿病的患者42例作为研究对象,随机分为两组,每组21例,对照组采取常规护理,观察组给予强化护理模式,比较两组患者疗效差异。结果观察组血糖、血肌酐、24h尿蛋白水平均低于对照组,差异有统计学意义,P<0.05;观察组住院期间焦虑程度重度1例(4.8%),中度7例(33.3%),轻度13例(61.9%),焦虑程度显著轻于对照组,P<0.05。观察组术后并发症发生率3例(14.3%),明显低于对照组9例(42.9%),P<0.05。结论强化护理应用于非体外循环冠状动脉搭桥术合并糖尿病患者效果较佳,血糖控制好,术后并发症发生率较低。     

共情护理改善老年脑梗死患者负性情绪的作用

目的探讨共情护理改善老年脑梗死患者负性情绪的作用。方法选取我院自2013年2月~2014年7月收治的153例老年脑梗死患者,随机分为观察组和对照组,观察组77例,对照组76例,对照组给予常规护理,观察组在常规护理的基础给予共情护理,分析各自护理方式对两组病例负性情绪的影响。结果护理前,两组病例抑郁自评量表(SDS)评分和焦虑自评量表(SAS)评分比较,P0.05,差异不具有统计学意义;护理后,两组病例SDS评分和SAS评分均有所下降,而对照组下降的程度小于观察组,观察组改善程度优于对照组,P0.05,差异具有统计学意义。结论共情护理能够有效改善老年脑梗死患者负性情绪的作用,患者依从性好,有利于病情的恢复。     

A technical concept of a computer game for patients with Parkinson's disease – a new form of PC-based physiotherapy

Background: At present, there are no meaningful and sophisticated computer games that simultaneously allow the treatment of movement disorders such as Parkinson's syndrome. In particular, there are no systems to consider the severity of the disease and the physical skills of the patient.

Methods: A computer game using the Microsoft Kinect as markerless sensor for the 3?D recognition of the patient’s movement was developed to support the rehabilitation. The scenario of a basketball game was created after determining that the movement like throwing a ball and the correct posture of the body are important. A study based on system usability was performed with 15 patients to evaluate the system.

Results: The technical feasibility of a computer-assisted training system for supporting patients with Parkinson‘s disease has been demonstrated. No markers on the patient are required for movement detection and allow a user-friendly handling. Regarding the usability study, the patients were accepting of such a system and its at-home use and symptoms like ‘freezing’ and the Pisa syndrome can be treated.

Conclusions: The physiotherapist can be assisted by the developed rehabilitation system. An objective measurement of the patient’s training progress delivers valuable information to adjust the training sessions for every patient individually. Due to its modular character, the system can also be applied to other diseases or sports injuries and offers the basis for further development.     

基于对分课堂的护理本科安宁疗护教学改进

目的探讨护理本科安宁疗护教学内容与方法改进的效果。方法选取四年制护理本科生为研究对象,以2014级32人为对照组、2015级32人为观察组。对照组采取先讲授理论后实践的常规教学方法;观察组对分课堂,将理论教学内容整合为四大主题,案例教学贯穿其中。结果两组学生安宁疗护理论考试成绩比较,差异无统计学意义(P0.05);标准化病人考试成绩及教学满意度观察组显著高于对照组(P0.05,P0.01)。结论基于对分课堂的安宁疗护教学改进利于学生知识与技能的掌握,学生对教学满意度较高。
