Objective To analyze the shortcomings and explore measures in medical nursing to improve quality. Methods The students were divided into experimental group (29 students) and control group (28 students). For the former group, we put a set of new teaching methods, including enhancing students theoretical knowledge and teachers had to prepare well, helping students learn to use the nursing process, sorting out the characteristics and contacting different diseases. After clinical clerkship, we conducted students to follow the case in order to learn more .The latter group received traditional teaching methods. Results The application part and total scores in examination of experimental group were higher than the traditional group (P<0.05). Conclusion The new teaching measures may improve students' learning initiative, communication skills, and develop their clinical thinking.

Objective To investigate the statistical methods used in nursing papers for bachelor's degree. Method We collected 160 nursing theses for bachelor's degree in 2016 in our college and analyze the statistical methods. Results A total of 80 papers used statistical methods consisting of statistical table, statistical inference, single factor analysis, variance analysis and statistical description. Among them, the statistical methods in 66 papers (82.5%) were misused. About 139 misuses of statistical tables was found in papers, and about 23 misuses of statistical inference in papers, taking up 45.4%. Conclusions The nursing undergraduates are familiar with the application of statistical methods, but the methods tend to be simple and unitary. Therefore, it is a need to enhance their practice in using statistical methods.

Objectives To explore the psychological states of chronic hepatitis B(CHB)patients during family disinfection and isolation:a qualitative study.Method Using random sampling,10 CHB patients from the Eighth People’s Hospital of Guangzhou during Sep 2012 and Feb 2013 were selected for the investigation by way of semi-structured in-depth interviews.Results Ten patients participated in the interview and five themes were extracted:1)no special mental burden because CHB patients believed they should conduct family disinfection and isolation;2)group psychology for their lack of knowledge;3)suspecting the effect of disinfection and isolation;4)worrying about involving their families because of guilty;5)feeling isolated,self-abased,sensitive and longing for being accepted and understood.Conclusions The psychological states are complex during disinfection and isolation.So,a feasible domestic disinfection and isolation plan should be worked out.Meanwhile,enhanced mental guidance and family supports are essential for them to get rid of worries and adapt themselves into family disinfection and isolation.
