Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2009;25(2):10-13
Objective To understand patients' experience of intensive care with mechanical ventilation at intensive care units to provide a more holistic approach to patient care. Methods In-depth interviews were applied to 11 participants who survived from mechanical ventilation. The pa-tients were asked to describe their experience by responding to the research question "what is it like to experience mechanical ventilation treatment at an ICU?"The data were analyzed by Giorgi's ph e-nomenological procedures. Results Five mutually exclusive themes emerged, which were titled "be-ing in an unconventional environment", "suffering from physical discomfort", "encountering psycho-logical crisis", "self-encouragement", and"self-reflection". Conclusions Patients' experiences while receiving mechanical ventilation at an intensive unit were poignant and afeard, but "self-encour-age-ment" and "self-reflection" will enhance patients' self-confidence which will be beneficial for their re-covery of critical illness.

Objective To explore the status of toileting behavior and its relationship to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in female nurses. Methods A total of 636 nurses were selected from three top three hospitals in Jinan by multi-stage sampling. The nurses′toileting behavior and LUTS were assessed by Women′s Toileting Behavior Scale and The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms. Univariate analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were conducted to examine the factors associated with LUTS. Results The nurse groups were widespread adverse toileting behavior. Delayed voiding was the most severe problem in nurses. Among LUTS storage symptoms were the most severe,voiding symptoms followed and incontinence symptoms were mild. Hierarchical regression analysis exhibited that factors associated significantly with LUTS included age, body mass index, menstrual status, working experience, history of urinary tract infection and poor toileting behavior (mainly hard urination, delayed voiding, and anuria urination),which explained 9.1%,12.9% and 12.6% of the variance of storage symptoms, voiding symptoms and incontinence symptoms, respectively. Conclusions Poor toileting behaviors are highly prevalent in nurses and they are closely related to LUTS, leading to concerns about possible effects of working environment and poor bladder habits on LUTS. Cognitive-behavioral intervention for this group is essential for delivering information about correct toileting behavior and its association with LUTS. Hospital administrators are suggested to pay more attention to nurses′working environment and its impact on nurses′health in order to improve their quality of life and job satisfaction.
