Objective To explore clinical practice value of Disease Severity Evaluation Scale (DSAS), and divide patient's nursing level according to the results of DSAS. Methods The assessment group was set up for evaluation of the scale, DSAS was used to determine the nursing level of 3 713 hospitalized patients (age > 18 years old) from 17 clinical departments, from April to May 2014. Results Nursing level determined by DSAS was compared with the standard nursing level, kappa coefficient was 0.72, P < 0.05, suggesting that the consistency was better. According to the kappa coefficient, 17 clinical departments could be divided into three categories, namely the applicability of DSAS were different in different departments. Conclusions DSAS can be used as a objective basis for division of nursing level and has a certain clinical significance. But in order to make it guide clinical work better, scoring system with department characteristic should be developed on the basis of DSAS.

Objective To investigate the main risk factors of respiratory complications in patients with cervical spinal cord injury so as to provide reference for early nursing assessment and personalized nursing intervention model. Methods A retrospective case series study was conducted on the clinical data of 303 patients with cervical spinal cord injury admitted to the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University between January 2015 and September 2016. There were 248 males and 55 females, aged (44.9 ±13.8)years (range, 14-70 years). There were 109 cases at fracture site C14 and 194 cases at C5-8. According to ASIA classification, 131 cases were grade A, 26 cases grade B, 42 cases grade C, and 104 cases grade D. The duration from injury to operation was (23.2 ± 69.9) hours (range, 6-48 hours). Univariate analysis was performed on the risk factors of respiratory complications, including gender, age (14-54, 55-65, and 66-70 years old), occupation, hospital stay, smoking history, previous history, ASIA grade (grades A to D), injury cause, complications (abdominal distension, hyponatremia, hypoproteinemia, and anemia). Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the significant risk factors in the univariate analysis so as to further identify risk factors associated with respiratory complications. Results Univariate analysis showed that age (55-65 and 66-70 years), ASIA grade A, ASIA grade B, smoking history, injury cause, complications (abdominal distension, hyponatremia, hypoproteinemia, and anaemia) were related to respiratory complication of patients with cervical spinal cord injury (P ＜0.05). The gender, occupation, length of hospital stay, and previous history were not associated with respiratory complications of patients with cervical spinal cord injury (P＞0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age between 55 and 65 years (OR = 3.989, P ＜ 0.05), age between 66 and 70 years(OR =0.301, P＜0.05), AISA grade A (OR=30.300, P＜0.05), ASIA grade B (OR =5.784, P ＜0.05), smoking history (OR=5.238, P ＜0.05), abdominal distension (OR = 1.975, P＜0.05), hypoproteinemia (OR =6.212, P ＜ 0.05), and hyponatremia (OR =3.233 ＜0.05) were independent risk factors for respiratory complications in patients with spinal cord injury. Except for ASIA classification, other factors might be easily ignored by doctors and nurses, leading to poor prognosis of patients. Conclusions Age (above 55 years), ASIA grades A and B, smoking history, abdominal distention, hypoproteinemia, and hyponatremia are the risk factors of respiratory complications in patients with cervical spinal cord injury. Based on the results, early nursing assessment can be carried out and personalized nursing measures can be taken to reduce the incidence of respiratory complications. It can also provide reference for constructing standardized nursing intervention model.

Objective To develop a satisfaction scale in orthopaedic inpatient and test the reliability and validity.Methods A research team was founded in March 2015.The primary items were obtained through literature review and semi-structured interview with orthopaedic inpatients.After expert consultation,the pretesting scale was developed.212 patients with orthopedic in the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University were recruited in the study to finish the questionnaire from May to November 2015.After the test of reliability and validity,the final scale was developed.Results The final scale consisted of five dimensions and forty nine items.The Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.987 for the total scale and the dimensions were ranged from 0.874 to 0.928.The split-half reliability was 0.929.The item-content validity index (I-CVI) was 0.786-1.000.The scale-content validity index (S-CVI) was 0.893.The CVI of dimensions was 0.83-0.93.Exploratory factor analysis totally extracted five common factors,and the load value of each entry factor was 0.480-0.480.The cumulative variance contribution rate was 70.625％.Conclusions The orthopaedic inpatient satisfaction scale has good reliability and validity.It can be used as the evaluation tool for the satisfaction in orthopedic hospitalized patients and it also can provide references for the interventions in effect evaluation of satisfaction.

Objective To investigate feasibility and effectiveness of combined level-one quality control and management mode. Methods Contents of combined level-one quality control and management mode were introduced, including determining departments combination, establishment and work procedure of the combined quality control group, frequency of combined quality control, and approaches of continuous quality improvement. Quality control data of the Nursing Department from January 2013 to December 2014 were taken to statistically analyze compliance rate of 6 nursing quality standards, satisfaction of hospitalized patients, and incidence of nursing defects, before and after implement of combined quality control&management mode. Results Compared with before, after implementation of combined level-one quality control and management mode, compliance rates of nursing documentation, basic nursing, treatment safety, head nurse management, and ward management, as well as satisfaction of hospitalized patients, and incidence of nursing defects were statistically significant (χ2 =4. 182, 8. 177, 6. 157, 5. 148, 5. 135, 7. 875, 7. 754; P <0. 05). Compliance rates of health education quality before and after the implementation were not statisticallysignificant (χ2 = 4. 182, P > 0. 05 ). Conclusions Implementation of combined level-one quality control and management mode can improve compliance rate of nursing quality standards and satisfaction of hospitalized patients, and decrease incidence of nursing defects, which is a new feasible and effective management mode in clinical work.

Objective To explore the application of compound sequential technology on sputum exclusion for patients with cervical spinal cord injury. Methods A total of 86 patients with cervical spinal cord injury ( CSCI) were divided into intervention group and control group from January 2011 to December 2013 in our hospital on average. The patients of intervention group adopted compound sequential technology on sputum exclusion, while the patients in the control group underwent conventional nursing measures. We evaluated the occurrence of pulmonary infection and atelectasis, and the usage of artificial airway. Results In the intervention group, the incidence of lung infection and atelectasis (9. 3%) was lower than that of the control group (37. 2%), and the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =9. 382,P< 0. 05). The cure time in the intervention group was shorter that of the control group (t = -6. 339,P <0. 05). Utilization rate of artificial airway in the intervention group was 7. 0% compared with 30. 2% in the control group (χ2 =7. 679,P<0. 05). The length of carrying tube in the intervention group was lower than that of the control group (t = -5. 490,P <0. 05). Conclusions The compound sequential technology can improve the effect of sputum exclusion in patients with CSCI, decrease pulmonary infection and atelectasis, shorten the time of carrying tube, and enhance cure rate.

Objective To explore the influence of extubation time of urinary catheter on post-operational urination and comfort degree of patients with orthopedic surgery, so as to and make clear the best extubation time of urinary catheter for them. Methods 900 patients treated with operation in Department of Orthopaedics in the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University from April to June in 2016 were selected by convenience sampling and divided, according to extubation time of urinary catheter, into group A, B and C, each with 300 cases. For patients in group A, urinary catheters were removed in the morning the day after the operation(12~24 h after operation), while in group B, 6 h after, and in group C, 2 h after. Rate of successful urination after extubation of urinary catheter, bladder discomfort, incidence rate of acute urinary retention and comfort degree of indwelling catheter in the three groups were compared. Results Difference in rate of successful urination and incidence rate of frequent micturition, urgent urination, micturition pain and acute urinary retention of patients in the three groups showed statistic significance (P<0.05). It was shown in pairwise comparison that rates of successful urination in group A and B were higher than that in group C, while incidence rates of acute urinary retention were lower (P < 0.05), and that incidence rate of frequent micturition, urgent urination and micturition pain in group A was higher than that in group B and C (P<0.05). Difference in comfort degree of indwelling catheter in the three groups showed statistic significance (P < 0.05). Incidence rates of discomfort in degree Ⅱ in group B and C were less than that in group A, while incidence rate of discomfort in degree Ⅲ in group C was less than that in group A and B (P<0.05). Conclusions For orthopedic patients,the best extubation time of urinary catheter is 6 h after the operation, which helps to raise rate of successful urination, lower urethra irritative symptoms due to cathetering, and reduce bladder discomfort after extubation.
