Objective To examine the reliability and validity of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) in nurses in China.Methods Item analysis and confirmatory factor analysis of CD-RISC was conducted.A total of 1 084 nurses were randomly divided into 2 groups using random number table.One group was used to revise CD-RISC and the other to evaluate its reliability and validity.Results Confirmatory factor analysis of the original RSA showed thatx2/df,RMSEA,GFI,AGFI,CFI were 6.714,0.103,0.804,0.764,and 0.718,respectively.The number of item was reduced to 21 based on exploratory factor analysis results,including three factors which explained 54.034% of the total variance.Factor loading ranged from 0.490 to 0.755.Coefficient of internal consistency ranged from 0.688 to 0.930 and the 4 week test-retest reliabilities ranged from 0.825 to 0.917.The factor scores were closely correlated with the total scores with correlation coefficient ranging from 0.683 to 0.943.The factors were closely correlated with each other with correlation coefficient ranging from 0.564 to 0765.The confirmatory factor analysis of the revised CD-RISC showed that x2/df,RMSEA,GFI,AGF,CFI were 3.304,0.065,0.902,0.878,and 0.913 respectively.The total scores and all factors were negatively correlated with depression and anxiety and somatization.Conclusions The revised CD-RISC has good psychometric properties and can be used to measure the resilience of nurses.

Objective To investigate the meridian touching on neonatal hyperbilirubinemia effect of adjuvant therapy.Methods 120 cases of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group,60 cases in the control group were treated with modified simple touch of domestic law,on the basis of modified simple touch,the observation group increased meridian touching,2 times per day,once every 15 min.The nursing effect was compared between two groups.Results The observation group was significantly better than the control group in items such as daily intake of milk,sleep time,meconium drained time,jaundice.Conclusions On the basis of modified simple touch of domestic law,the addition of meridian touching can effectively reduce neonatal hyperbilirubinemia serum bilirubin levels,prevent high bilirubin encephalopathy,and promote the growth and development of newborns.

Objective To investigate the advantage of detaining peripherally inserted central catheter through the veins of lower extremity in neonatal intensive care unit.Methods 165 cases of infants were randomized into veins of lower extremity group (first saphenous veins,then popliteal vein) and veins of upper extremity group (first basilic vein,then median cubital vein,cephalic veins) from January to December 2012.We observed the success rate of detaining,catheter tip location,and complications such as phlebitis in the two groups.Results The success rate of detaining of lower extremity group was higher than that of upper extremity group,and ectopic rate of lower extremity group was lower than that of upper extremity group.There was no significant difference in complications such as phlebitis between two groups.Conclusions Peripherally inserted central catheter through the veins of lower extremity has more advantage over through the veins of upper extremity group.
