Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of skin scraping in reducing nursing staff’s fatigue.Methods Seventy-one clinical nursing staff were randomly allocated to a treatment group of 36 cases and a control group of 35 cases. Both groups were given the same health education and psychological counseling. The treatment group received skin scraping along the Du Meridian and the Bladder Meridian of Foot-Taiyang in addition and the control group, no intervention. An evaluation was made using the Fatigue Scale-14 (FS-14) and the PSQI in the two groups before and after treatment.Results There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in the FS-14 item scores (physical fatigue score, mental fatigue score and total fatigue score) in the two groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in the PSQI score in the treatment group (P<0.05). There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in the physical fatigue score, the total fatigue score and the PSQI score between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05).Conclusions Skin scraping can effectively reduce nursing staff’s fatigue, and improve sleep quality.

Objective To investigate the establishment and application effect of Evaluation Form for Cancer Pain Nursing Quality Control. Methods Nursing quality control team was founded on account of the leadership of the superintendent of nursing department and the head nurse from department of pain clinic. The team consisted of eight nurses containing the head nurse from model ward of the standardized treatment for cancer pain and nurses from department of pain clinic. According to the criteria and content of on- site assessment of cancer pain standardized treatment demonstration unit, indexes for cancer pain nursing quality was made, combining with the management practice of cancer pain nursing. The quality indexes was divided into five one- class indexes which had a total score of 100 and 20 for each including pain assessment, cancer pain treatment, patient education, nursing ability and others. Each one- class index followed with two - level index. And the table was applied to the cancer pain standardized treatment demonstration unit. Results After application of the Evaluation Form for Cancer Pain Nursing Quality Control, the following items were improved compared with those before application: accuracy of pain assessment [97.22%(70/72)vs.90.28%(65/72)], correctness of nursing record [98.61%(71/72)vs.88.89%(64/72)], satisfactory rate of pain control [97.22%(70/72)vs.84.72%(61/72)], accurate usage rate of cancer drugs [100.00%(72/72)vs.88.89%(64/72)] , understanding rate of health knowledge of patients and their family members[100.00%(72/72)vs.80.56%(58/72)], satisfactory degree of patients and their family members with nurses [100.00%(72/72)vs. 88.89%(64/72)], χ2=4.71, 8.87, 10.86, 8.87, 18.00, 8.87, P<0.05 or 0.01.

Objective:To explore the effect of comprehensive intervention program based on the concept of fast track surgery in early enteral nutrition tolerance and rehabilitation in patients with esopha geal cancer.Methods:93 selected patients were divided into the intervention group and the conventional control group according to the admission time.Patients in intervention group were treated with comprehensive intervention,and control group were given routine nursing care.Enteral nutrition intolerance incidence,the first time of bowel sounds,the first time exhaust and defecation and complications were compared between the two groups.Results:36 patients from 47 patients (76.60%) in the intervention group could tolerate the early feeding,while 24 patients from 46 patients (52.17%) in the control group could tolerate.There was significant difference between two groups (P < 0.05).The first time of exhaust,bowel sounds and defecation,and the hospitalization time of patients in the intervention group were better than that in the conventional control group (P < 0.01).Incidence rate of incision infection,pulmonary infection and intestinal obstruction in patients of the comprehensive intervention group was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05).Conclusion:Compared with the traditional treatment,the comprehensive intervention can effectively reduce the enteral nutrition intolerance incidence,promote the recovery,reduce hospitalization time and the incidence of postoperative complications,and improve the life quality of patients after surgery.

Objective To deeply understand the risk factors of lymphedema for patients with breast cancer after surgery. Methods The phenomenological method was applied in this study. Semi-structured interview was used to collected data from 9 female breast cancer patients with lymphedema after surgery in our hospital from June to September 2016 for generic analysis. Results The risk factors of lymphedema could be categorized into four themes:(1)choice of treatment is the primary cause:axillary lymph node dissection; radiotherapy; chemotherapy; (2)not paying enough attention to lymphedema:lacking the knowledge of lymphedema; imbalance of physical activities for the affected limb; lacking awareness of exercise and protection of the affected limb. Conclusions Axillary lymph node dissection after radical surgery for patients with breast cancer is the primary cause of lymphedema, and paying not enough attention is an important factor, especially lacking the consciousness of prevention, so the nurses should emphasize education about prevention of lymphedema after surgery for patients, to improve the consciousness of them to reduce the occurrence of lymphedema and its influence on their quality of life.

Objective To investigate the effects of Oak spray with alginate dressings treated cervical cancer third degree radiation dermatitis. Methods One hundred patients who met the inclusion criteria with cervical cancer were divided into observation group (n = 50) and control group (n = 50) by random number table. In the control group the radiation skin was washed the wound with saline, then stuck with alginate dressings, while the skin in the observation group was coated with Oak spray and alginate dressings during radiotherapy. Results The effective rate of observation group was 92% compared with 70% in the control group (χ2 =7. 190,P <0.01); the healing time and frequency of dressing change were (8.5 ±3.5) d and (4 ±1) times in the observation group, which all were lower than that of the control group (t = 29. 103,31. 368;P < 0. 01). Conclusions Oak spray united alginate dressings have a significant effect in the treatment of cervical cancer third degree radiation dermatitis with the reduction of wound heal time and dressing change times, and are worth of clinical promotion.
