Objective To determine the value of five repetition sit-to-stand test (FTSST) to evaluate lower limb function in the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods Sixty-one patients with COPD were tested for FTSST,isokinetic testing muscle strength for lower limb,6-minute walking test.The relationship between FTSST time and muscle strength,6-minute walking test distance (6MWD) were analyzed.Results FTSST time was (7.86±2.21) s,extensor peak torque was (67.58± 24.83) Nm,extensor relative peak torque was 0.95(0.46) Nm/kg,6MWD was (444.05±112.53) m.FTSST time related to extensor peak torque,extensor relative peak torque,6MWD and types of complication,correlation coefficient values were-0.303,-0.393,-0.428,F =2.813,P < 0.05.Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that when the dependent variable was FTSST time,the variables of the equation were 6MWD and types of complication.Conclusions FTSST can be used for the rapid evaluation of lower extremity function in patients with COPD.The lower limb function gets worse,the FTSST time will be longer.Nursing staff should pay more attention to the lower limb function of patients with COPD,along with complications,using FTSST to evaluate lower extremity function.

Objective To investigate the dynamic changes and analyze the influencing factors of quality of life (QOL) among adult patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Methods Totally 143 HSCT patients were investigated by the common questionnaire, the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) and the Functional Assessment in Cancer Therapy—Bone Marrow Transplant (FACT-BMT) before checked in the purification bin,1 month post transplantation and 3 months post transplantation. Results The QOL were different among different time points of HSCT patients (P<0.05). Multiple factors analysis showed that the factors before checked in the purification bin including social support (OR=4.480, P=0.019), residence (OR=3.167, P=0.036) and disease diagnosis (OR=0.036, P=0.042). The factors 1 month post transplantation included social support (OR=3.573, P=0.018), whether or not the platelets were reconstructed during storage (OR=2.735, P=0.018) and whether there were transplant related complications (OR=0.214, P=0.016). The factors 3 month post transplantation included social support (OR=9.639, P<0.01) and whether there were transplant related complications (OR=0.167, P=0.003). Conclusions The QOL was low among HSCT patients, and it dynamically changed at different points. Social support is the only sustainable influencing factor of quality of life. This prompts us that we should pay abundant attention on social support and use it to improve the QOL of HSCT patients.

Objective To construct the key-point guidelines of bowel preparation for elderly patients with colonoscopy. Methods The guidelines were made based on literature review,theoretical analysis,qualitative interview.Then they were determined by 14 clinical nurse specialists, nursing education experts and medical experts from 6 provinces or cities through two rounds of expert consultations. Results The response rate of two rounds'questionnaire was 100.00%. The authority of experts coefficient in the two rounds were 0.89. The coefficients of variation of the first and second rounds were respectively 0.07~0.27 and 0.05~0.13. The coordination coefficients for the 2 rounds were 0.377 and 0.404 respectively (Χ2=105.473 and 124.307,P<0.001).In the first round,the average of the importance rating was 3.50~4.95, with a standard deviation of 0.35~0.95.In the second round,the average of the importance rating was 4.71~4.93,with a standard deviation of 0.27~0.61.The key-point guidelines of bowel preparation included 3 key points for bowel preparation, 4 key moments,7 key guidance contents, 4 criteria for the process of bowel preparation and the corresponding remedial measures. Conclusion This study established the key-point guidelines of bowel preparation for elderly patientsand the degree of enthusiasm,authority,coordination and concentration of the experts was high so as to provide a reference for the clinical implementation of standardized bowel preparation guidance.

? As an important part of rehabilitation exercise for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), upper limb functional exercise can effectively enhance the capacity of patients with upper limb movement, upper limb function and muscle strength, thus improving the symptoms of upper limb activities and improving the quality of life of patients. This article reviews the methods, intensity, duration, cycle, frequency and outcome evaluation index of upper limb functional exercise for COPD patients, in order to provide basis for choosing appropriate and effective upper limb exercise methods for COPD patients.

Exercise is an effective measure to improve expiratory dyspnea and delay lung function decline among the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD). However, COPD patients have a low level of exercise compliance so far which is the major obstacle to carry out exercise. This paper reviewed the definition, evaluation criteria, research status, influencing factors of exercise compliance so as to provide a scientific reference for improving exercise compliance among COPD patients.

Objective To explore the factors affecting non-compliance in bowel preparation for patients undergoing colonoscopy and to provide evidence for improving patients' compliance. Methods Guided by the phenomenological research method, semi-structured interviews were performed among 16 patients who had poor bowel preparation for colonoscopy at the digestive endoscopy center in 3 Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Suzhou from January to April 2017. The data were analyzed by Colaizzi analysis method. Results Through the interviews, the factors influencing bowel preparation compliance were summed up into 3 themes: the neglect of the importance of strict compliance with bowel preparation, the inability to tolerate bowel preparation, and lack of specialized knowledge of bowel preparation. Conclusions To improve the compliance of bowel preparation for patients undergoing colonoscopy, medical staff should correctly guide the patients to understand the importance of bowel preparation and ensure the full grasp of the specific requirements, on the other hand, should actively strive to improve the patient's tolerance of bowel preparation.

Objective:To explore correlation between RoSCo score and postoperative absolute bed rest time in patients undergoing laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) .Methods:The imaging data and clinical data of patients undergoing LPN from January 2018 to July 2019 in a Class ⅢGrade A hospital in Suzhou were retrospectively analyzed. RoSCo score was calculated by RENAL score, body mass index (BMI) and Charlson comorbidity index. According to the score, patients were divided into low-risk group (RoSCo score≤4 points) , medium-risk group (RoSCo score of 5 to 6 points) , high-risk group (RoSCo score≥7 points) , and postoperative absolute bed rest time of patients in three groups were collected. The kruskal-Wallis H test of non-parametric test was used to compare the absolute bed rest time of patients in the three groups, and Spearman correlation method was used to analyze the correlation between RoSCo score and postoperative absolute bed rest time. Results:A total of 164 LPN patients were included in the study, including 82 cases in the low-risk group, 65 cases in the medium-risk group and 17 cases in the high-risk group. The median and quartile of absolute bed rest time of all patients was 7 (6, 8) d, including 6 (5, 6) d in the low-risk group, 8 (7, 8) d in the medium-risk group and 11 (11, 12) d in the high-risk group. Postoperative absolute bed rest time of low-risk group, medium-risk group and high-risk group classified by RoSCo score were different, and the differences were statistically significant ( H=112.9, P<0.001) . The pairwise test after using Bonferroni method to correct the significance level found that pairwise comparison of the three groups showed statistically significant differences (all adjusted P<0.001) . RoSCo score was positively correlated with postoperative absolute bed rest time ( r=0.815, P<0.001) . Conclusions:RoSCo score of patients undergoing LPN has a significant positive correlation with postoperative absolute bed rest time. The higher the RoSCo score is, the longer the absolute bed rest time is. Therefore, nursing staff can predict the postoperative absolute bed rest time of LPN patients based on RoSCo score so as to provide a basis for clinical nursing decision.
