Objective To explore the mechanisms of individual, social and environmental factors influencing physical activity and the relationships among the factors in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods A survey was conducted from January to July 2015 among 225 patients with type 2 diabetes using convenience sampling. The questionnaire included 9- item Patient Health Questionnaire, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire,Perceived Social Support Scale, Chinese Walkable Environment Scale, Bandura′s Exercise Self- efficacy Scale. Results The effective questionnaire recovery rate was 98.7%(222/225). Exercise self- efficacy was a mediator of factors influencing physical activity. Exercise self- efficacy and physical activity were positively correlated (β=0.24, P<0.05). Walkable environment only affected physical activity indirectly medicated by exercise self- efficacy (β=-0.26, P<0.05). Perceived social support directly associated with physical activity (β=0.14, P<0.05). Depression not only affected physical activity directly (β=-0.28, P<0.05), but also associated with physical activity indirectly medicated by exercise self-efficacy (β=-0.32, P<0.05). Conclusions Interventions should be taken to increase the perceived social support, improve depression and walkable environment, especially to enhance exercise self- efficacy, so as to improve the physical activity level of patients with type 2 diabetes.

Objective To constructthe nurse job satisfaction index evaluation system by analytic hierarchy process (AHP) so as to provide theoretical basis for nursing managers. Methods Semi-structured interviews and literature review were used in establishing the preliminary nurse job satisfaction evaluation index system.The Delphi method was applied in expert consultation and a three-level index system was established, the weight, the largest eigenvalue and the weight vector were all calculated. Index consistency was inspected. Results 4 first-level indicators, 13 second-level indicators and 39 third-level indicators were established.The weight was 1.630 0-3.280 0 for the first-level indicators, 0.4494-1.4723 for the second-level indicators and 0.0913-0.783 9 for the third-level indicators.The weight vector was 0.038-0.616 for the first-level indicators,0.045-0.750 for the second-level indicators and 0.041-0.875 for the third-level indicators.The max-eigenvalue was 4.231 for the first-level indicators,6.226 for the second-level indicators and 4.176 for the third-level indicators. The consistency test value of judgment matrix ranged from 0.000 to 0.077, and the consistency ratio was less than 0.1. Conclusions With distinct gradation,clear structure, reasonable weight and rich content, the index system provides a theoretical basis for the nurse job satisfaction evaluation.

Objective To explore the relationship between health?related quality of life and resili?ence of patients with inflammatory bowel disease( IBD) ,and provide a new entry point to improve the quality of life. Methods The general information questionnaire,the Chinese version of inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire ( IBDQ) and the Chinese version of Connor?Davidson mental resilience scale ( CD?RISC) were used to investigate 102 patients with IBD. Results The average scores of IBDQ and CD?RISC of IBD pa?tients were (157.6±31.7) and (62.5±15.0). Except for the correlation between the score of optimistic di?mension and the social function dimension,the total score and the scores of other dimensions of IBDQ were significantly correlated with the total score and the scores of dimensions of CD?RISC( r=0.200?0.490, P<0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that tenacity,residence,moderate and severe disease severity,and disease duration with more than 10 years could significantly predict the level of health?related quality of life (β=0.319,0.268,-0.218,-0.373,-0.260, P<0.05) . Conclusion The health?related quality of life of IBD patients has a strong relationship with resilience. Health care workers can help improve health?related quality of life of the patients through fostering resilience.
