Balance function assessments for stroke patients include instruments and scales. The instruments consist of static balance test systems and dynamic balance test systems. The commonly used static balance test systems include balance performance monitor (BPM) and Tetrax balance test system, and the dynamic balance test systems include Active Balancer EAB-100 and Pro-Kin 254. The balance scales contained Berg Balance Scale, Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients, Timed Up and Go Test, Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Bal-ance, Tinetti Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment, and Five-Times-Sit-to-Stand Test, etc. This article reviewed the features and indi-cations of them.

Objective To construct nursing needs scale for school-age children with acute leukemia (AL) during lumbar puncture by using Delphi technique.Methods A certain number of experts were chosen for consulting to form a consulting scale.Two-round consultations were conducted and the results were analyzed.Results The effective response rate of the experts' questionnaire for 2 rounds was 100％ (17/17).The specialist group authority coefficient was 0.85.The coordination coefficients for 2 rounds were 0.437 and 0.516 respectively (P ＜ 0.01).The nursing needs scale for school-age children with AL during lumbar puncture comprised of 5 first-level indicators and 30 second-level indicators.Conclusions This scale can scientifically and quickly evaluate the nursing needs of school-age children with AL during lumbar puncture,it provides a research tool to develop individualized interventions with demand as the direction.

Objective To explore experiences of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to take up the home- based resistance training. Methods Twenty- two patients with COPD who completed the 12 weeks home- based resistance training were interviewed deeply, the phenomenological analysis method was used. Results Though reading, analysis, reflection, separation, theme refining, two themes were drawn: self- perceived benefits; pyhcological, social and healthy status barriers on taking up and persisting in the exercises. Conclusions The study finds that self- perceived benefits, psychological changes and confusion in COPD patients during home- based resistance training.As the medical staff, to seize the COPD patients for the purpose of health to do the health education and strengthen the relevant training, to help the patient perceive benefits on resistance training, to enhance the confidence of participating in the pulmonary rehabilitation, to promote the behavior change. Additionally, we should identify obstacles early and take up the intervention, to stimulate the enthusiasm of home- based resistance training in patients with COPD.

Objective To explore the reliability of handgrip strength test for evaluating mobility in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Methods Sixty-one COPD patients in stable stage were measured for handgrip strength and 6-minute walking test(6MWT).The receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC) was calculated to determine the best cutoff points of handgrip strength.Results Handgrip strength was (33.72-±7.47) kgf,6MWD was (437.06±97.96) m,handgrip strength was moderately correlated with 6MWD (r=0.404,P=0.001).6MWD≥350 m was used to classify two groups,and there was significant difference between two groups(P＜0.05).Area under the curv e was 0.722,and the best cutoff points was 32.8 kgf.Conclusion Handgrip strength test can be a useful tool to quickly identify mobility in patients with stable COPD.

Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)is a chronic non-specific intestinal inflammatory disease,including ulcerative colitis(UC)and Crohn's disease(CD). Changing lifestyle can improve patients'symptoms to a certain extent and enhance the efficacy of drugs. The anti-inflammatory effect of exercise in IBD has been confirmed,but its specific mechanism is not clear. This article reviewed the advances in study on the anti-inflammatory effect of exercise on IBD.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and influential factors of workplace violence (WPV) against nurses in general hospitals of Suzhou. Methods A total of 2110 staff nurses from 13 general hospitals in Suzhou were investigated with the Modified Version of Hospital Workplace Violence Questionnaire. Results During the past one year,68.9% (1454/2110) nurses investigated suffered from WPV.Working departments,marital status, strong support,etc,were the leading impact factors of WPV. Conclusions Nurses′experience of WPV is a prevalent phenomenon in general hospitals of Suzhou. It is urgent for hospital administration to raise attention to WPV and take effective measures,to reduce the occurrence of WPV.
