Objective To investigate the effect of specialty nurse-led discharge preparation in the perioperative period of lung transplantation patients. Methods Based on the transition theory,literature analysis and expert meetings,the hospital discharge preparation service plan for lung transplant patients was established. We selected 33 lung transplant patients in a tertiary hospital in Zhejiang Province for this study based on convenience sampling,and they were divided into an experimental group and a control group by random number method. The experimental group received the discharge preparation service program led by specialty nurses,and the control group received routine perioperative management of lung transplantation. Data from admission to 3 months after discharge were collected. Between the 2 groups,they were compared on readiness for hospital discharge,reintubation,readmission,and part 2 of Partners at Care Transitions Measure(PACT-M2). Results A statistically significant difference was found in the scores for readiness for hospital discharge,reintubation rate,and Chinese version PACT-M2(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the number of readmissions 1 month and 3 months after discharge between the 2 groups(P>0.05). Conclusion Specialized nurse-led discharge preparation services for lung transplant patients can improve their readiness for discharge and enhance the quality of self-care at home.
Objective To explore the application effect of the information system for prevention and treatment of hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism(HA-VTE) in HA-VTE management. Methods A team of HA-VTE management was set up and the information system for prevention and treatment of HA-VTE was established,which mainly included 4 content modules,namely assessment,early warning,decision-making,and monitoring,in order to achieve functions such as time points risk assessment,early warning assessment,prevention taboo assessment,auxiliary decision support,scoring supervision,and achieve coordinated prevention and control throughout the hospital. The system was officially clinically applied in October 2022. The hospital HA-VTE risk assessment rate,prevention rate among medium to high-risk patients,awareness rate of HA-VTE prevention knowledge among medium to high-risk patients,implementation rate of basic prevention measures among medium to high-risk patients,and incidence rate of HA-VTE were compared before(from April to September 2022) and after (from October 2022 to March 2023) the use of the system. Results After the application of the information system for prevention and treatment of HA-VTE,the risk assessment rate of HA-VTE has increased from 96.96% to 100%. The prevention rate of medium to high-risk patients increased from 37.93% to 46.86%(including the increase of drug prevention rate from 26.99% to 37.12%,and the increase of combined prevention rate from 2.16% to 4.66%). The awareness rate of HA-VTE prevention knowledge for medium to high-risk patients has increased from 87.76% to 96.84%,and the implementation rate of basic preventive measures has increased from 83.67% to 94.74%,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05). The incidence of HA-VTE has decreased from 0.066% to 0.046%. The difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05). Conclusion The information system for prevention and treatment of HA-VTE can enhance the compliance of nursing staff in risk assessment,provide accurate and effective decision-making basis for medical staff,and improve the current situation of HA-VTE management in hospitalized patients.

Objective To develop and evaluate the reliability and validity of Perception of Risk of Chronic Kidney Disease Scale(PRCKDS) for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods The item pool was determined by literature review,interview,expert consultation,and pre-investigation,and the formal scale was formed. The newly developed PRCKDS was tested on 420 patients with type 2 diabetes through an online survey. The reliability and validity of the scale were evaluated by Spearman correlation analysis,factor analysis,and Cronbach’s α respectively. Results There were 36 items in the formal scale,with 5 dimensions including susceptibility,severity,beneficence,hindrance and precipitating factors. Spearman correlation analysis indicated that the content validity was good. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the model fit was good. The factor loads of 36 items were all greater than 0.45 and within the preset 5 dimensions,indicating that the structure validity was good. The Cronbach’s α of homogeneity is 0.875,and the split reliability is 0.865. Conclusion The PRCKDS established in this study has good reliability and validity,and it can be used as an effective and reliable measurement tool to assess the risk perception of chronic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Different risk perception groups should be differentiated,and individualized strategies should be adopted in the prevention education of chronic kidney disease.
Objective To explore the current status and influencing factors of health education literacy of clinical pediatric nurses in China,so as to help clinical managers to formulate targeted training programs and provide references for the improvement of health education literacy of clinical nurses. Methods Pediatric nurses from 31 provinces and cities at all levels in the country were selected as survey subjects by the method of general survey,and a self-made “Pediatric Nurse Health Education Literacy Questionnaire” was distributed to investigate the knowledge,attitude and practice of health education literacy of nurses. The influencing factors of health education literacy were analyzed by multiple linear regression method. Results A total of 15,800 questionnaires were collected,of which 15,765 were valid with an effective recovery rate of 99.78%. 31 provinces,autonomous regions and municipalities nationwide participated in this survey. The knowledge of health education literacy of nationwide pediatric nurses scored(37.80±4.46);the score of attitude was(31.74±3.60);the practice scored(77.03±7.76). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that professional titles,related publications,and the attendance of related trainings were main influencing factors of health education literacy of pediatric nurses(P<0.05). Conclusion The health education literacy of pediatric clinical nurses in China was at a medium level,which needs to be further improved. Active participation in various forms of training could help nurses form a complete framework of health education and improve the holistic level of health education literacy.
