1.Study on the training contents of palliative care using Ridit analysis
Chinese Journal of Nursing 2009;44(8):685-687
Objective To analyze the common and individual training needs of palliative care among nurses in different level hospitals. Methods The self-designed questionnaire about training needs of palliative care was used to investigate 340 nurses in different level hospitals. The data were analyzed by Ridit analysis method. Results There were 24 important items and 26 unimportant items in the common training needs. Regarding the individual training needs,the concept of palliative care,basic nursing care and bereavement support were preferred by the primary-level hospital nurzes,while the principles of palliative care,basic nursing care and pain management in secondary-level hospital nurses,radiotherapy and chemotherapy care and the ethical and moral problems in palliative care in third-level hospital nurses. Conclusion Different level hospital nurs-es have beth common and individual needs in the training contents of palliative care. Ridit analysis can distinguish the differ-ences and provide reference for the training.

The type of chronic diseases and number of patients with chronic disease are increasing all over the world. The adherence of health management in patients with chronic disease has directly impact on their health outcomes, quality of life and related health cost. The benefit of improvement in adherence of health management is even more than the improvement in treatment. Mobile health is a new way of health care to provide convenient, accessible and effective health management support. Additionally, mobile health care has been used in the health management of patients with chronic diseases. The aim of this study is to review the studies focus on using mobile health care technology in improving health management adherence, including the characteristics of participants, the intervention tools, the diseases have been managed and the outcome evaluation.

As a platform to learn authentic patient experiences, learning health system(LHS)acquires big data from clinical environment and other health-related events, analyzes data to produce new knowledge and applies these knowledge to constantly guide clinical decision and practice, thus contributing effectively to better quality of care and lower medical cost. The authors reviewed LHS in terms of its role model, organizational structure, infrastructure framework, core characteristic elements framework and researcher′s core competence framework. Based on the study, the authors recommended the integration of multi-source heterogeneous medical information platform data, and enhancement of synergy among medical institutions and multi-disciplinary teams in the introduction and localization of LHS into China.

Objective To deeply understand the postoperative real experience of colostomy patients on ostomy management, and try to explore the difficulties and needs after discharge in order to provide theoretical basis for postoperative nursing intervention. Methods By using phenomenological research method, 10 colostomy patients were interviewed face- to- face, and the content was analyzed by Colaizzi method. Results Three themes were concluded: self- care obstacle related to ostomy; self- growth brought by ostomy; expectations for social support and family care. Conclusions Colostomy patients have to face so many problems after operation on ostomy management, and hospital, society and family have responsibility to help patients adapt to ostomy as soon as possible and improve their quality of life.

Wether cancer patients can re-adapt to life or not after experiencing tremendous frustration is the focus of tumor care nowadays.Since the measurement methods and outcome indexes of cancer patients adaptation level are different,adaptation related factors and predictors are controversial and there is not yet a unified opinion.Currently,it is thought that demographic information (like age,gender,education),disease-related information (like physiological indicators,treatment options,body image and sex) are closely related to cancer patients adaptation after stress.However there are huge differences among the extents and effects.

As the improvement of patient experience and medical experience has become the key goal of medical model reform,patient experience has gradually guided the development direction of future medical treatment and dominated the model of patient management.Patient journey mapping,as a patient-centered tool for visualizing patient experience,has been widely used in patient management in recent years.It will introduce the definition,construction method,application progress,problems,and prospects of patient journey mapping in the field of patient management at home and abroad to encourage more medical staff to use patient journey mapping to gain insight into patient needs,optimize patient experience and gather strength in patient management.

Objective:To identify the classification characteristics and quality of life (QOL) of breast cancer (BC) patients during chemotherapy, so as to provide basis for improving the sleep and QOL of this group.Methods:A cross-sectional investigation was completed among 421 BC patients in 5 tertiary hospitals in Shanghai, Wuhan, Tangshan and Nanning in 1-12 months of 2016 using validated instruments including self-made general information questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B).Results:Four latent class of patients were identified through latent profile analysis (LPA), named by badly worse sleep quality(SQ) (C1, n=23), medium-SQ with difficulty to fall asleep (C2, n=127), medium-SQ with worse sleeping process (C3, n=30), none sleep disorders (C4, n=241). Total points of SQ among C1-C4 had significant difference ( χ2 value was 309.28, P<0.05). Age, BMI, job status, whether had surgery and course of chemotherapy between classes had statistically significant differences ( χ2 values were 9.57-25.28, all P<0.05). It had significant difference between C2 and C3, C2 and C4, C3 and C1, C3 and C4 on QOL ( χ2 values were 5.96-52.73, all P<0.05). Conclusion:SQ of BC patients during chemotherapy has heterogeneity among population. Different features of SQ of BC patients have different performance on QOL. Health professionals should keep an eye on patients with features of older age, high BMI, in job status, already received surgery and during early-stage chemotherapy, provide personal nursing intervention to improve SQ and QOL.
