Objective To explore the health promotion behaviors among patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB),and to analyze its relationship with health locus of control,in order to provide scientific references for improving TB patients’ health-promotion behaviors in clinical nursing care. Methods The interpretive sequence mixed method design was utilized. A convenient sampling was used to enroll 300 TB patients from 2 TB specialized tertiary hospitals in Xi’an as research subjects from January to April 2023. General information questionnaire,Health promoting lifestyle profile-Ⅱ,and Multidimensional health locus of control scale were used to collect data,and single-factor analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were conducted. Purposeful sampling was used to select 11 TB patients for a semi-structured interview,and the Colaizzi 7-step method was used to extract themes. Results In the quantitative study,the total score of health promoting behaviors in 294 TB patients was(110.26±15.74). Patients’ internal health locus of control,chance health locus of control,and occupational status significantly influenced their health-promotion behaviors(P<0.05). In the qualitative study,4 themes were extracted,including awakening self-awareness of health,the desire to establish a normal life,the distress of multiple uncertainties,and the immediate effect of authoritative guidance. The qualitative and quantitative studies complemented each other and further verified the relationship between health promotion behaviors and health locus of control of TB patients. Conclusion The level of health-promotion behaviors in TB patients needs to be further improved. Nurses need to take systematic health education as an opportunity by the catalytic effect of individual health awareness,to improve their internal locus of control,reduce their opportunity control tendency due to multiple uncertainties,with the ultimate purpose of helping TB patients form and maintain health promotion behaviors.
Objective To investigate the current situation of clinical nurses’ knowledge of vessel catheter-associated infection(VCAI) and analyze its influencing factors,so as to provide a basis for homogenizing training on prevention and control strategies of VCAI. Methods A total of 1 450 nurses were selected from 15 hospitals in East,West,Central,South and North area of China from April 9 to June 9 2022 by multi-stage random sampling method. They were investigated by general data questionnaire and VCAI knowledge questionnaire. The questionnaire included 7 dimensions,covering definition,clinical manifestations,diagnosis methods,risk factors,prevention measures,treatment measures and management system. Results A total of 1 424 valid questionnaires were collected,with an effective recovery rate of 98.21%. Nurses’ knowledge of VCAI was 50.97±19.20. There were 442 qualified nurses (30.9%),169 good nurses(11.8%),and 50 excellent nurses(3.5%). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the main influencing factors of clinical nurses’ knowledge score on VCAI were age,hospital grade,job post,educational background,and whether or not they were intravenous therapy specialist nurses(P<0.05). Conclusion Nurses in county-level and prefecture-level hospitals who participated in the survey had a lower knowledge of VCAI than nurses in provincial or minister-level hospitals. Nursing managers should conduct homogenized training on VCAI knowledge for nurses in county-level and prefecture-level hospitals,so as to change the prevention and treatment behavior of nurses in county-level and prefecture-level hospitals,and reduce the incidence of VCAI.

Clinical practice guidelines are important bridges between research-based evidence and clinical practice. Therefore,adherence to clinical practice guidelines by nurses will improve the scientific nature of the nursing practice. However,the implementation process of clinical practice guidelines is complex,which results in low adherence of recommended guidelines,and thus affecting the scientificity of nursing practice. The development,dissemination,and implementation of clinical guidelines is a continuous process. Several factors may affect guideline adherence in various levels. This paper summarizes the developmental history,status,evaluation methods,and factors influencing guideline adherence based on nursing fields. Possible countermeasures and suggestions are proposed for improving guideline adherence,and provide theoretical references for the formulation,dissemination,and application of clinical guidelines.
Objective To systematically analyze and compare studies related to the intervention effect of topical oxygen therapy on patients with diabetic foot ulcers,and provide references for nursing practice. Methods We searched PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,CENTRAL,CINAHL,Clinical Trial,China Biomedical Literature Database,CNKI,Wanfang Database,and VIP from inception to February 1,2023,to collect studies on the effect of topical oxygen therapy interventions on patients with diabetic foot ulcers. 2 researchers independently screened the literature,and extracted the information,and a meta-analysis of the included literature was performed by RevMan 5.4 software. Results 8 studies with 622 patients were included. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with conventional care,topical oxygen therapy improved the response rate[RR=1.59,95%CI(1.16,2.17),P=0.004] and the reduction of diabetic foot ulcer area[MD=28.78,95%CI(14.83,42.73),P<0.001],and the method did not increase the incidence of adverse events[RR=0.83,95%CI(0.63,1.10),P=0.190],but the difference was not statistically significant in terms of healing time[MD=9.86,95%CI(-15.39,35.11),P=0.440]. Conclusion Topical oxygen therapy helps to improve the response rate and reduce the ulcer size in patients with diabetic foot ulcers with a better safety profile,but the effect of the intervention on healing time is unclear. Further high-quality randomized controlled trials should be conducted in the future to validate the efficacy of topical oxygen therapy in patients with diabetic foot ulcers.

Methods Databases of CNKI,VIP,Wanfang,PubMed,Web of Science,Cochrane Library,Embaseand Sinomed were retrieved on qualitative research about the experience of fertility preservation decision-making in child-bearing period women with cancer. The retrieval period is from the establishment of the databases to June 2022. Results A total of 15 studies were included,and 58 available research results were extracted,which were then classified into 14 new categories,and finally 5 integrated re-sults were formed:difficulties on decision-making process,accompanied experience of negative emotion;multiple wor-ries and concerns about their own health and their children;dilemma of decision-making;demand of support for decision-making;positive coping patterns. Conclusion Child-bearing period women with cancer usually lacked sup-port for decision making and harbored much stress on themselves,which leads to much psychological burden,when they faced decision-making on fertility preservation. Therefore,medical staff should understand the decision-making needs of patients,and should provide aid on scientific decision making,which can help patients release decision-mak-ing pressure and reduce decision-making conflicts.
Objective To explore the effect of information-motivation-behavioral(IMB) model on self-efficacy of fathers of late preterm infants in support of breastfeeding. Methods A total of 86 fathers of late preterm infants who were transferred to the neonatology department immediately after delivery in a tertiary A hospital in Taiyuan City from October 2021 to February 2022 were conveniently selected as the research objects. According to the length of hospitalization,43 fathers from December 2021 to February 2022 were selected as the experimental group. 43 fathers from October to November 2021 were used as a control group. The experimental group received IMB model based on routine nursing,and the control group received routine nursing. The scores of self-efficacy of paternal breastfeeding support and exclusive breastfeeding rate were compared between the 2 groups at different time points. The scores of breastfeeding knowledge,behavior and attitude of the 2 groups were compared,as well as the incidence of insufficient lactation. Results The self-efficacy scores of fathers supporting breastfeeding in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group at discharge and 1 month after discharge,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.001). With the extension of time,the self-efficacy scores of each group increased gradually. The scores of fathers’ breastfeeding knowledge and behavior at discharge in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group;the incidence of maternal insufficient lactation in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group;the exclusive breastfeeding rate of preterm infants at 40 weeks,3 months and 6 months of adjusted gestational age was higher than that in the control group;the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion Nursing intervention based on IMB model can effectively improve the self-efficacy and scores of breastfeeding knowledge,behavior and attitude of fathers of late preterm infants to support breastfeeding,reduce the pressure of fathers to take care of mothers and preterm infants,so as to increase the rate of exclusive breastfeeding of premature infants.
Objective To investigate the level of kinesiophobia in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) and analyze the influencing factors,so as to provide references for rehabilitation exercise intervention in patients with CABG. Methods A convenient sampling method was used to select 249 patients with CABG hospitalized in 3 tertiary hospitals in Urumqi,Xinjiang from January 2022 to August 2022. A month after the CABG,the general information questionnaire,the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia Heart(TSK-SV Heart),Multidimensional Fatigue Symptom Inventory-Short Form(MFSI-SF-C) and Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale(PSE) were conducted for investigation. Latent class analysis(LCA) was used to explore the potential categories of kinesiophobia among patients with CABG. Single factor analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to identify the factors associated with the potential categories of kinesiophobia. Results A total of 249 patients were included. Based on the analysis of potential categories,the kinesiophobia of patients with CABG was divided into 2 potential categories,namely high fear-kinesiophobia group(59.4%) and low fear-exercise avoidance group(40.6%). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that gender,body mass index(BMI),MFSI-SF-C score and PSE score were important factors of the potential categories of kinesiophobia in CABG patients. Conclusion The kinesiophobia of patients with CABG can be divided into 2 latent classes. Patients with the gender of female,body mass index≥24.0,a high MFSI-SF-C score and a low PSE score were more likely to be classified into the high fear-kinesiophobia group. Healthcare providers should identify the characteristics and influencing factors of different latent classes of CABG patients,and carry out individualized intervention strategies,in order to reduce the kinesiophobia.

Objective To investigate the current status of cognition and attitude of community residents for advance care planning(ACP) in Zhengzhou and its influencing factors. Methods A multi-stage random sampling was used through a questionnaire survey on 342 residents from 4 communities in Zhengzhou. The factors influencing positive attitude of community residents were analyzed by logistic regression. Results The cognition of community residents to ACP in Zhengzhou was scored 0~5 [0(0,1)];the total score of attitude is 15~62 [40(26,49)]. Logistic regression analysis showed that age,the previous experience of caring for family or friends in hospital and the experience of family or friends receiving life support treatment were the influencing factors of positive attitude of community residents to ACP in Zhengzhou(P<0.05). Conclusion The cognition of community residents to ACP is at a low level,while the overall attitude is positive. Senior residents,residents with experience of caring for relatives and friends in hospitals and experience of family or friends receiving life-sustaining treatment have a more positive attitude towards ACP. Health care workers should work with relevant organizations to promote the popularization and acceptance of ACP,and should also provide targeted education and services for different groups in order to promote ACP.
