Objective:To explore the turnover intention of dental outpatient nurses, and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From August to September 2021, multi-stage sampling was used to select nurses from 20 stomatology hospitals in 7 geographical regions of North China, East China, South China, Central China, Southwest, Northeast, and Northwest China. The survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Turnover Intention Scale, Nursing Work Environment Scale, Psychological Capital Scale for Nurses, and Work Engagement Scale.Results:A total of 1 513 questionnaires were collected, including 1 135 valid questionnaires, with a valid rate of 75.02% (1 135/1 513). The total score of turnover intention among 1 135 dental outpatient nurses was (2.22±0.56). Pearson correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between nursing work environment, psychological capital, work engagement, and turnover intention ( r=-0.421, -0.340, -0.446; P<0.01). The structural equation model showed that the nursing work environment had a direct negative effect on the turnover intention of dental outpatient nurses (β=-0.401, P<0.01) and had an indirect negative effect on turnover intention through work engagement (β=-0.106, P<0.01), with a mediating effect of 20.91%. Psychological capital had an indirect negative effect on the turnover intention of dental outpatient nurses through work engagement (β=-0.271, P<0.01), with a mediating effect of 52.83%. Conclusions:The turnover intention of dental outpatient nurses is at a high level. Managers can reduce the turnover intention of dental clinic nurses by improving the nursing work environment, developing psychological capital, and increasing work engagement.

Objective:To gain a deep understanding of the current cognition and training needs of nursing undergraduates regarding their emergency response teamwork skills, and to provide reference for the development of courses on emergency response teamwork among nursing undergraduates.Methods:From September to October 2023, purposive sampling was used to select 15 senior nursing undergraduates from Peking Union Medical College, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, and Beijing City University as subjects for semi-structured interviews. Colazizzi 7-step analysis method was used to summarize and extract themes.Results:Three themes were extracted, including insufficient cognition and skill in emergency response, lack of emergency response teamwork cultivation, and the need for systematic and comprehensive training courses.Conclusions:Universities, hospitals, and other training institutions should work together to develop a systematic emergency response teamwork training course for nursing undergraduates, to cultivate the skills of nursing undergraduates and reserve talents for high-quality emergency response nursing teams.

Patients who undergo sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer may face intestinal dysfunction, psychological issues, and social problems. Patient self-management is of great significance for their recovery and quality of life. This paper mainly reviews the concept, evaluation tools, current situation, and intervention measures of self-management for patients after sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer, in order to provide reference for clinical self-management education for those patients.

Objective:To explore the correlation between defecation disorders and diet in patients undergoing sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey. From 2021 to 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 159 patients with rectal cancer who underwent sphincter-preserving surgery at Peking University Third Hospital as participants. The General Information Questionnaire, Food Frequency Questionnaire, and Defecation Questionnaire were used for the survey.Results:The incidence of defecation disorders in 159 patients with rectal cancer after sphincter-preserving surgery was 74.2% (118/159), and the types of defecation disorders with high to low incidence were "frequent defecation (96/159, 60.4%) " "constipation (37/159, 23.3%) " "diarrhea (33/159, 20.8%) " and "fecal incontinence" (24/159, 15.1%). Diets were clustered into 9 categories (vegetables and fruits, carbohydrate staple foods, red meat foods, gas producing foods, dairy products, white meat foods, dessert foods, high-fat foods, and spicy and stimulating foods). Binomial Logistic regression analysis showed that red meat foods and gas producing foods were the influencing factors of frequent defecation ( P<0.05), red meat foods was the influencing factor of diarrhea ( P<0.05), and carbohydrate staple foods was the influencing factor of fecal incontinence ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The incidence of defecation disorders in patients with rectal cancer after sphincter-preserving surgery is relatively high, and the intake of red meat foods, gas producing foods, and carbohydrate staple foods should be appropriately controlled. Clinical medical and nursing staff should pay close attention to the diet of elderly patients.

Objective:To explore the incidence of low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) in patients undergoing sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer and analyze related factors.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey. From 2021 to 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 195 patients with rectal cancer who underwent sphincter-preserving surgery at Peking University Third Hospital as participants. The patients were surveyed using the General Information Questionnaire, LARS Scale, Visual Analog Score, and Chinese version of Insomnia Severity Index.Results:A total of 195 questionnaires were distributed, and 156 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 80.00% (156/195). The incidence of LARS in 156 rectal cancer patients with sphincter-preserving surgery was 36.54% (57/156), and the incidence of severe LARS was 15.38% (24/156). Binomial Logistic regression analyses showed that gender ( OR=0.445, P=0.034) and preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy ( OR=6.343, P<0.01) were influencing factors for the occurrence of LARS in patients with rectal cancer after sphincter-preserving surgery. Preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy ( OR=3.322, P=0.047) and intraoperative prophylactic stoma ( OR=4.855, P=0.035) were influencing factors for severe LARS. LARS score was positively correlated with anxiety score ( r=0.238, P=0.003) and total insomnia score ( r=0.168, P=0.036) in patients with rectal cancer who underwent sphincter-preserving surgery. Conclusions:Preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is an independent risk factor for postoperative LARS and severe LARS in rectal cancer patients undergoing sphincter-preserving surgery. LARS is correlated with patients' anxiety and insomnia.

Objective:To investigate the types and number of symptom clusters in patients undergoing sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer and explore the influencing factors of these symptom clusters.Methods:Totally 192 patients who underwent sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer in the Department of General Surgery at Peking University Third Hospital between January 2021 and January 2023 were selected by convenience sampling. A general information questionnaire, Post-sphincter-preserving Surgery Symptom Questionnaire, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) were used for data collection.Results:A total of 192 questionnaires were distributed, with 159 valid questionnaires returned. Exploratory factor analysis on 18 symptoms with an incidence rate of over 10.0% identified five primary symptom clusters: the psychological symptom cluster, increased defecation cluster, fatigue-pain cluster, sleep disturbance cluster, and constipation-related cluster. Logistic regression analysis showed that postoperative duration was an influencing factor for the psychological symptom cluster ( P<0.05) ; preoperative radiotherapy and postoperative duration were influencing factors for the increased defecation cluster ( P<0.05) ; postoperative chemotherapy was an influencing factor for the fatigue-pain cluster ( P<0.05) ; and weekly sedentary time was an influencing factor for the sleep disturbance cluster ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Patients undergoing sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer experience multiple symptom clusters. Preoperative radiotherapy and prolonged sedentary behavior increase the risk of symptom clusters, and different postoperative periods are associated with varying risks for different symptom clusters. However, physical activity levels do not appear to influence the occurrence of symptom clusters. Healthcare providers should implement targeted interventions based on the symptom clusters and their influencing factors to reduce the incidence of symptoms in patients.
