职场正念对护士工作使命感影响及组织认同中介效应

目的 探讨职场正念对护士工作使命感的影响并检验组织认同的中介效应。方法 通过一个横断面式的网络问卷调查收集资料,采用阶层线性回归法验证变量间的作用关系。结果 职场正念能够显著正向预测组织认同（β=0.348,P＜0.01）和工作使命感（β=0.281,P＜0.01）;组织认同能够显著正向预测工作使命感（β=0.534,P＜0.01）;组织认同在职场正念与工作使命感的关系中扮演部分中介角色。结论 职场正念可以提升护士组织认同与依附,进而间接促进工作使命感。同时,职场正念可以通过提升核心自我评价、提高职业生涯韧性和维护护士职业适应进而直接提高她们的工作使命感。     

公立医院职场排斥对护士情绪耗竭和工作满意度的影响

目的 探讨公立医院职场排斥对护士情绪耗竭和工作满意度的影响以及可能的机制。方法 采用横断面问卷调查法收集数据,采用多元阶层回归分析法进行数据统计分析。结果 职场排斥得分均值为（1.53±0.72）,处于较低水平;52.2%护士表现出情绪耗竭倾向;职场排斥能够显著预测护士的情感耗竭（β=0.186,P＜0.01）和工作满意度（β= -0.252,P＜0.01）。其中,情绪耗竭在二者之间扮演部分中介作用。结论 公立医院职场排斥在护理人群中并不普遍,但却应该引起关注;护士情绪耗竭较为严重。而且,职场排斥将直接或者通过情绪耗竭中介作用影响她们的工作满意度评价。     

骨牵引钉道周围皮温观察

目的：观察骨牵引术后钉道酒精护理的效果。方法：采用钉道周围皮温测定方法,观察30例骨牵引钉道酒精护理的住院病例每周的皮温变化,并与自身体温对照,计算出钉道周围皮温与体温的温差（△T）。结果：骨牵引术后2周时钉道周围皮温最低,骨牵引术后5周时最高。与2周时上道周围皮温比较有统计学差异（P＜0．05）。结论：骨牵引术后钉道酒精护理可出现无菌性炎症反应,相应局部皮温升高。皮温测定对预测骨牵引钉道炎症情况有一定价值。

枸杞茶饮联合综合护理对非酒精性脂肪肝临床研究

目的:探讨枸杞茶饮联合综合护理治疗非酒精性脂肪肝(NAFLD)的临床效果。方法:选取60例NAFLD患者,随机分为照组和试验组,其中对照组30例,给予常规综合护理;试验组30例,在对照组基础上采用枸杞茶饮口服干预。比较两组患者的治疗效果,观察两组患者干预前后肝功能、血脂、胰岛素抵抗、脂联素、TNF-α的指标。结果:实施干预后,试验组治疗总有效率高于对照组(P0.05),两组患者ALT、AST、GGT、CHOL、TG、LP、HOMA-IR水平均有所下降,脂联素、TNF-α均有所升高,但试验组改善的更明显,与对照组比较,差异有统计学意义(P0.01)。结论:枸杞茶饮联合综合护理能较好的改善NAFLD患者的生化指标,起到较好的治疗作用。     

A study of the macro-environment at BenCat in southern Vietnam

Based on the meteorological data over a period of 4 years (1980–3), the macro-environment of BenCat Farm situated in the southern part of Vietnam (27 m above mean sea-level, 11° N and 106° E) was categorized as a “monsoon tropical climate”, due to heavy rainfall (annual mean 2028.96 mm) and about 32% wet days (annual mean 116.52 days) together with high air temperature (annual mean daily temperature 28.58, max. 32.33 and min 24.85° C). April was the hottest (monthly mean >35°C) and January the coldest month (monthly mean <22° C) of the year. The maximum number of wet days were during September and October (mean 18 days.month), whereas the minimum number of wet days were during January and February (mean <1 day/month). The months of December and January at Ben-Cat buffalo farm were categorized as the “comfortable (moderate-Dry) period” as the mean daily temperature was <27° C, while the remaining 10 months of the Calender year (February–November) were categorized as the “hot period” (mean daily temperature >27° C). On the basis of rainfall and the number of wet days, the hot period was further subdivided into a “hot-dry period” (February–April, mean of 1.67 wet days/month and mean rainfall 19.43 mm/month) and a “hot-humid period” (May–November, mean of 15.57 wet days/month and mean rainfall 276.28 mm/month).     

Staff attitudes to oral health care. A comparative study of registered nurses,nursing assistants and home care aides

This study compares differences in attitude, of oral health care of nursing personnel working with dependent elderly and severely disabled patients. A questionnaire was administered to 398 personnel covering (1) personal oral health care habits. (2) experiences and attitudes in assisting oral care and (3) willingness to assist patients/residents with their daily oral hygiene. Three hundred and sixty - four persons answered the questionnaire, including 70 registered nurses, 148 nursing assistants and 146 home care aides. The study revealed that oral care assistance is viewed as more disagreeable than other nursing activities. Although registered nurses were found to have more positive attitudes toward oral care assistance than the other nursing groups, they were seldom invoked in the daily practice of oral hygiene care. The results indicate a gap between knowledge and practice in nursing personnel's attitudes toward oral health care of dependent elderly and severely disabled patients.     

An oral hygiene protocol improves oral health for patients in inpatient stroke rehabilitation

The objective

To determine whether a simple oral hygiene protocol improves the oral health of inpatients in stroke rehabilitation.

The background data discussing the present status of the field

Poor oral health can lead to serious complications, such as pneumonia. The comorbidities associated with stroke, such as dysphagia, hemiparesis and cognitive impairment, can further impede independent oral care. International stroke guidelines recommend routine oral care but stop short of detailing specific regimes.

Materials and methods

The oral health assessment tool (OHAT) was conducted by speech‐language pathologists with 100 patients with and without dysphagia in three metropolitan inpatient stroke rehabilitation facilities. A simple nurse‐led oral hygiene regime was then implemented with all participants, which included twice daily tooth brushing and mouth rinsing after lunch, and oral health was measured again one week later.

Results

Initially, dysphagia was negatively associated with OHAT scores, and independence for oral hygiene was positively associated with oral health. After one week of a simple oral hygiene regime, the OHAT scores available for 89 participants indicated an improvement on average for all participants. In particular, 59% of participants with dysphagia had an improvement of 1 or more points. None of the participants developed pneumonia.

Conclusion

A simple, inexpensive oral hygiene regime resulted in positive outcomes for patients with and without dysphagia in inpatient stroke rehabilitation settings. Oral health assessments and oral hygiene regimes that are simple to implement by the interdisciplinary team can be incorporated into standard stroke care with positive effect.
