Objective To provide a scientific basis for nursing managers to promote the professional quality of life of nurses.Methods Totally 373 nurses from three general hospitals in Jinan by convenience sampling technique were recruited and assessed with the Professional Quality of Life Scale Version 5 (ProQOL-V) and the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire.The relationship between professional quality of life and mindfulness was analyzed.Results The average score of compassion satisfaction was (29.71±6.61) points,the average score of compassion fatigue was (52.82±8.04) points,which were in the middle level of them.Compassion satisfaction was correlated with mindfulness,observation,description,non-reactiveness and non-judgment (P < 0.05).Compassion fatigue was correlated with mindfulness,observation,awareness of the action,non-reactiveness and non-judgment (P < 0.05).Multiple regression analysis showed that the three dimensions (observation,non-reactiveness and non-judgment) of mindfulness could predict 15% variance of compassion satisfaction and the three dimensions (observation,awareness of the action and non-judgment) of mindfulness could predict 34.1% variance of compassion fatigue after controlling demographic variables.Conclusions Mindfulness can effectively predict nurses' professional quality of life.Nursing managers should take some mindfulness training in order to improve their professional quality of life.

Objective To construct the care needs assessment index for institutional elderly. Methods A total of 30 experts were consulted by the Delphi method. The indexes were selected and identified according to the inquiry results. Results The response rates of three expert consultation rounds were 93.33%(28/30), 85.71%(24/28), and 79.17%(19/24) respectively. The authority coefficients of the three rounds were all above 0.80. The assessment index includes 4 first level indicators, 13 secondary level indicators, and 48 third level indicators. Weighting results indicated that in terms of the elderly in institutional care, the most important domain of care needs was physical function, followed by ability of activity. At the same time, psychological function and social function in the elderly cannot be ignored. Conclusions The study obtained key elements that should be included in a comprehensive care needs assessment index of the institutional elderly, which laid a solid foundation for further investigation on the formation of specific assessment tools for care needs of the elderly in institutional care.

Objective To study the influence of frailty on quality of life among nursing homes elders,to improve the elders′quality of life and provide references for health ageing. Methods Totally 369 nursing homes elders in Jinan were investigated by using the general information and health status questionnaires, Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE), FRAIL scale, European Quality of Life 5-Dimensions(EQ-5D). Results Of the samples,52.8%(195/369)were pre-frail and 23.0%(85/369)were frail.After controlling the confounding factors,pre-frail and frail elders had lower quality of life than the other elders(OR=0.097,0.016,P<0.01).Resistance and ambulationclosely associated with quality of life in FRAIL scale(OR=0.030,0.364,P<0.05). Conclusion Measures for improving the quality of life and physical and mental well-being of nursing homes elders can be designed based on frailty.

Objective To explore the relationship between nutrition status and activity of daily livingof elders in nursing homes and the mediating effect of physical activity. Methods From Apr to Sep in 2016,320 elders in nursing homes were selected and were surveyed using the standardized tools. The mediating effects were analyzed with PROCESS. Results The scores of elders′ nutrition status, physical function and activities of daily living were (11.88±2.27), (3.61±3.51), (79.13±26.00) points, respectively. And there were 66.9% elders suffering from activities of living life impaired. The nutrition status were significantly positive correlated with physical function and activities of daily living of elders, and the physical function were significantly positive correlated with activities of daily living of elders. The physical function partly mediated the association between nutrition status and activities of daily living, and the effect was reached to 39.1%. Conclusions The elders′activities of daily life was poor in nursing home in China. The physical function partly mediated the association between nutrition status and activities of daily living. The related departments could combine the long time and short time plans targeting at improving of nutrition status and physical function respectively, to enhance the outcomes of elders in nursing homes.

Objective To investigate students' experiences of learning achieved through the flipped classroom based on Massive Open Online Course(MOOC). Methods Qualitative study in which data were gathered from semi-structured and in-depth interviews conducted with 8 key students from the flipped classroom. The interviews were analyzed using Nancy′s phenomenology 7-step analysis method. Results Four themes emerged from the interviews: personalized learning, active learning, cooperative learning, and the critical role of teacher. Conclusions Overall, our research highlights the efficacy of MOOC-based flipped classroom. The implementation of the flipped classroom in this study improved personalized, active, and cooperative learning, and promoted the positive teacher-student relationship. Further research is needed to continue the investigation into maintaining students′ learning initiatives, controlling teach-learning progression,and strengthening formative evaluation.

ObjectiveTo isolate and study the biological characteristics of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) from feces of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. MethodsVero E6 cells were used for virus isolation and the isolated strains were tested by nucleic acid test, immunofluorescence test, virulence test and whole genome sequencing. 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID50) was calculated after the cell cultures of each generation were collected ResultsEight fecal specimens were inoculated with Vero E6 cells after treatment and cultured for 48 h. One specimen showed obvious cytopathic effect on Vero E6 cells. One SARS-CoV-2 out of 8 fecal samples from COVID-19 patients were isolated, and separation rate was 12.5%. The TCID50 of P1, P2 and P3 were 104.0/0.2 mL, 104.5/0.2 mL and 104.75/0.2 mL, respectively. Only one of the 8 stool samples had SARS-CoV-2 virus replication and amplification, and the Ct value of the nucleic acid detection was about 10. The sequence of the isolation was more than 99.99% homologous with that of Wuhan-Hu-1(GenBank MN908947). ConclusionThe SARS-CoV-2 strain is isolated from the fecal samples of COVID-19 cases and is confirmed by genomic sequencing and immunofluorescence test, which indicates the presence of live virus in feces of COVID-19 cases.
