Objective To establish the standard values of indicators for care quality evaluation of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Methods To acquire data of nurses configuration in 24 hospitals nationwide by the status survey method. On-spot examination, questionnaire, case-review methods were applied to determine the standard values of 638 benign prostatic hyperplasia patients' care quality in Xi'an three major general hospitals. Department self-report, patients' complaints and quality inspection provided adequate information for determining the standard values. Results The standard values of indicators for care quality evaluation of benign prostatic hyperplasia were successfully established. Conclusions Taking the mean and percentile of indicators as reference can acquire true and reliable results.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of chronic disease self-efficacy between fatigue and social support in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. From July 2020 to April 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 376 patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy in the Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University as the research object. The General Information Questionnaire, Fatigue Scale-14, Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy Scale and Social Support Rating Scale were used to investigate the patients. Structural equation modeling was used to test the mediating effect among variables. A total of 376 questionnaires were distributed, and 372 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 98.94%.Results:Among 372 breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, the total scores of the Fatigue Scale-14, Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy Scale and Social Support Rating Scale were (10.61±1.81) , (5.00±2.53) and (43.42±12.59) , respectively. Chronic disease self-efficacy was positively correlated with social support in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy ( r=0.493-0.648, P<0.01) , and social support was negatively correlated with fatigue ( r=-0.703--0.234, P<0.01) , and self-efficacy was negatively correlated with fatigue ( r=-0.729--0.220, P<0.01) . Chronic disease self-efficacy played a partial mediating role between fatigue and social support in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy (β=-0.335, P<0.01) , and the mediating effect accounted for 47.59% of the total effect. Conclusions:Social support can indirectly affect fatigue through chronic disease self-efficacy in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Nurses should focus on improving the chronic disease self-efficacy and social support of breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
