Objective We tried to design a Instructor Rating Scale Identified by Nursing Students,and then evaluate its rehability and validity.Methods The original item pool was formulated by investigating 351 nursing students with convenience samphng method to develop a prehminary scale.Then it was used to investigate 273 nursing students to test its rehability and validity.Results The formal scale consisted of six dimensions,which contained 19 items.The cumative contribution rate of these dimensions was 62.30％.The Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.54,test and re-test reliability was 0.48.Conclusions The Instructor Rating Scale Identified by Nursing Students can be applied to evaluate the instructors by nursing students.

Objective To explore the nutritional risk factors in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC), who have been accepted pegylated interferon (IFN) and ribavirin (RVB) therapy (PR). Methods A total of 175 CHC patients treated with PR were included in this study. Data of heights, body weights, and calculated body mass index (BMI) were recorded in patients. At the same time, patients were evaluated nutritional risk with Nutritional Risk Screen 2002 (NRS 2002), and divided into risk group (n=35) and non-risk group (n=140). Results There were significant differences in age, HCV genotype (1b type and not 1b), clinical type (CHC/cirrhosis), the length of treatment time and the tolerance degree for PR therapy between two groups (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR=16.068,β=2.777), IFN dosage (OR=3.096, β=1.130), RVB dosage (OR=3.382, β=1.219) and clinical type (OR=5.092, β=1.628) were nutritional risk factors. The HCV genotype (OR=0.384; β=-0.957) was protective factors for nutritional risk. Conclusion There is higher occurrence rate of nutritional risk for CHC patients accepted PR therapy. The dependant nutritional risk factors are advanced age, intolerance for PR therapy and cirrhosis associated CHC. HCV without genotypes 1b is not a nutritional risk factor.
