Objective To investigate the application effect of evidence-based nursing and individual nurs-ing in pregnancy patients with lupus nephritis. Methods Sixty-five patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group. They were treated with routine care and evidence-based nursing respectively. The complications, pregnancy outcome and satisfaction of patients were compared between the two groups. Results There were not significant difference in renal failure , pregnancy induced hypertension , ecalampsia , heart failure , HELLP syndrome and other complications between observation group and normal group (P > 0.05). The pregnan-cy outcome had no significant difference between two groups (P > 0.05). In observation group, the health score was significantly higher than that of control group(P < 0.05). The mental health score in control group was sig-nificantly higher than that of observation group (P < 0.05). There werenot significant difference in social health and overall health score between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion The application of evidence-based nursing and individual nursing in pregnancy patients with LN not only reduce the incidence of complications , but also reduce the chance of premature birth, stillbirth. And it could improve the cognition on the nursing work of this disease and the satisfaction of patients. But individual nursing is better in improving the patient′s mental health, while the evidence-based nursing is better in improving the health status.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for implementing relevant policies and measures,and promote rational drug use. METHODS:The cognition(questionnaire)and application(prescription spot checks)about antibiotics and glucocorticoids by 191 rural doctors from 14 township hospitals and 18 health room in area A,B and C(representing the economically developed areas, moderately developed areas and undeveloped areas)were investigated,and the results were statistically analyzed. RESULTS:Total-ly 382 questionnaires were sent out(191 for antibiotics and 191 for glucocorticoids),and 382 were effectively received with effec-tive recovery of 100%;and 2 300 prescriptions were checked. Results of questionnaire showed,there were still some misunder-standings and blindness among the rural doctors'cognition and application about antibiotics and glucocorticoids,the usage of β-lac-tam was not fully grasped,part of the empirical use of antibiotics and drug treatment was still not entirely clear,more than 40%had no clear ideas about the classification and contraindications of hormones,and more than half of them didn't know the Glucocor-ticoids Clinical Practice Guidelines;results of prescription spot checks showed,there were regional differences about the proportion of antibiotics and glucocorticoids,area A had the highest proportion among 3 areas,accounting for 60.9% and 18.9%,respective-ly. And area C showed highest proportion about unreasonable prescriptions,accounting for 22.5%. CONCLUSIONS:The cognition and reasonable use of rural doctors for antibiotics and glucocorticoids still needs to be strengthened. It is suggested to take effective measures,formulate and implement the corresponding supervision system,strengthen antibiotics and glucocorticoids knowledge training for rural doctors and fully implement the the principles of rational drug use to improve the rational drug use.
