Objective To understand the incidence of common geriatric syndromes in hospitalized patients,and analyze the relationship between different kinds of geriatric syndromes.Methods A crosssectional study was conducted by five well-trained investigators-300 patients were chosen from geriatric department and medical department within 3 top three hospitals in Chengdu.Results 300 copies of questionnaires were distributed in total,and 300 questionnaires were returned (response rate 100%).Among those,277 questionnaires were considered valid (valid response rate 92.3%).Among those elderly which were above 65 years old,having risk of falling accounted for 91.3%,feeling pain accounted for 79.1%,chronic constipation accounted for 59.2%,having risk of malnutrition accounted for 49.1%,malnutrition accounted for 28.2%,having risk of pressure ulcers accounted for 32.5%,incontinence accounted for 25.3%,and dysphagia accounted for 17%.The correlation among these syndromes was signifcant.Conclusions The overall incidence of geriatric syndromes in hospitalized patients is higher than that in the community.These syndromes are correlated with each other.One can be a risk factor of other geriatric syndromes and also could affect each other.

Objective To evaluate the depressed mood status of nurses from 2009 to 2013 in China,and to provide evidence for launching psychological health education.Methods PubMed,VIP database,the CNKI database were searched to find the published literatures about the detection of depressed mood among nurses from January 2009 to December 2013.According to exclusion criteria the studies were screened,and the qualities of included studies were evaluated and Meta-analysis software was used for Meta-analysis.Results Totally 633 literatures were included.After screening a total of 583 literatures were excluded,after further study on the full text of literature,eventually 30 literatures were included,a total of 12 626 people,6 946 cases were detected with depressed mood.The Meta-analysis results showed that the total depressed mood detection rate was 42.5%.There was no significant difference among genders,working years,and educational background; but ages may play a role in occurrence of depression.Conclusions Depressed mood of Chinese nurses was significantly higher than the general population,and older nurses were suffered from more serious depression.
6.Effect of interpersonal relationship on clinical practice outcome of associate degree nursing students: A qualitative study
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2014;30(25):51-53
Objective To construct interpretation theory which is suitable to explain the connotation of interpersonal relationship among associate degree nursing students.Methods The data were collected through deep interviews.The content of interpersonal relationship was affirmed by three-level coding and comparing repeatedly.Results The core concept was gaining a feeling of belonging and it could be affected by 5 generic concepts including clinical teachers,head nurses,baccalaureate degree nursing students,patients and doctors.Conclusions Harmonious interpersonal relationship can be built according to the theory of interpretation and practice outcomes can be improved.

Objective The research is to understand students' mobile learning (M-learning) attitudes and behaviors,and provide a reference for the development of mobile learning systems and learning resources.Methods The research used the method of questionnaires to investigate nursing students' present situation of M-learning.Results About 2/3 of the students were so eager to have targeted mobile tutorial course.Most of the students were not satisfied though there were a lot of resources.More than 2/3 of the students used telephone to surf on the internet almost every day (mainly on reading web pages and communicate with classmates using chat software,see / write blog lowest).The mobile learning time of more than 60% students was not more than 10 minutes.1/3 of students used the time between 10 to 30 minutes.The highest cost that students spent on monthly mobile learning was less than 10 Yuan,accounting for the total number of 1/3.Compared with the junior college students,the proportion of undergraduates who support to use phone to surf on the internet was higher.Undergraduate students were more likely to read pages and see multimedia,most of them hope to see courseware within 2 to 5 minutes,etc.Conclusions Nursing students have good hardware conditions on mobile learning.Students are recognized on mobile learning.The current mobile learning resources are chaos and lack of design so that it hindered the development of mobile learning.Mobile learning courses should be short and pithy,rich and colorful.Application design of mobile blog in mobile learning needs to be strengthened.Generally speaking,undergraduate college students are more actively to take mobile learning into their learning and life.

Objective The aim of this study was to examine hope level in patients with coronary heart disease after per-cutaneous coronary intervention and explore correlation with illness perception.Methods 176 patients in outpatient department were recruited after per-cutaneous coronary intervention.The Herth Hope Index (HHI),Illness perception Questionnaire-Revised and demographic and clinical characteristics were collected.Results The hope level score of patients after per-cutaneous coronary intervention was (36.18±3.21),the hope level was correlated with seven dimensions of illness perception and was influenced by degree of education,income level,whether the disease is acute or chronic and control belief.Conclusions The patients after per-cutaneous coronary intervention show high level of hope and is affected by many factors,this provides the basis for taking effective measures to improve the patients' level of hope.
10.Hospital nursing performance evaluation study and application based on the entropy weight method and Rank-sum ratio
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2014;30(25):75-78
Objective To explore scientific and effective evaluation methods of hospital nursing performance.Methods Using balanced score card (BSC),Delphi method and key performance indicator (KPI) to build a system of nursing performance indicators; using entropy weight method to determine the weight coefficients of nursing performance indicators; using RSR method to compare the nursing effects of wards before and after the nursing performance management.Results 4 first-level nursing performance indicators,9 secondary-level ones and 27 tertiary-level ones were obtained,and the weight coefficient of every index was computed; According to terrible,poor,moderate,good,excellent levels,25 wards were ranked after implementing nursing performance management.There was significant difference of the overall performance management effects of 25 wards after implementing performance evaluation,comparing with the case before.Conclusions To combine entropy weight method and Rank-sum ratio (RSR) method is pertinent,scientific and reasonable,and the results can be taken as the evidence for nursing performance evaluation.
