Objective To evaluate the application of Friedman family assessment model in home care patients with depression. Methods A total of 80 patients with depression were treated by their visit serial number, and the Single numbers were arranged into the intervention group, the even numbers were arranged into the control group, each of 40 cases. In the control group, patients were used conventional drug therapy and made an appointment in the outpatient. On this basis, patients in the intervention group were utilized the Friedman family assessment model as a guide for home care intervention. Before and after the intervention, patients were applied the Hamilton depression scale 17 ( HAMD 17) to evaluate the extent of the patients′depression. We used generic quality of life Inventory-74 ( GQOLI-74) assessed the depressed patients′ life quality. Results After 16 weeks the results showed the HAMD17 score of the intervention group point was (6. 82 ± 2. 49) lower than that of the control group (8. 26 ± 2. 01) (t = 2. 82,P < 0. 01). The total score of GQOLI-74 in the intervention group was (230. 00 ± 20. 65), and its three dimensional points were as follows:physical function (65. 73 ± 8. 26), psychological functioning (59. 87 ± 8. 92), social functioning (56. 13 ± 10. 26), which were significantly higher than that of the control group (213. 94 ± 19. 28) points, (60. 06 ± 9. 19) points, (53. 63 ± 8. 44) points, (49. 76 ± 9. 72 ), with the statistical difference (t = - 3. 65, - 2. 91,- 3. 22, - 2. 86, respectively;P < 0. 01). Conclusions Friedman family assessment model is a more effective rehabilitation methods, especially on reducing the extent of home care patients with depression, promoting the rehabilitation of the disease and improving the quality of life of patients.

Purpose:
This study was to investigate the work experience of newly recruited male nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods:
With a phenomenological approach, this qualitative study was adopted semistructured interviews by phone or video calls. A total of 9 male nurses newly recruited for the COVID-19 wards in Chinese hospitals were interviewed for this study. And Colaizzi's method was applied for evaluation in the data analysis.
Results:
Based on our findings, three themes were extracted. First, the newly recruited male nurses showed negative emotions at the beginning of COVID-19 epidemic, which was caused by changes in working conditions and content, but also prompted the nurses to change the way of coping with the crisis. Second, they gradually mastered the working skills and psychological training to cope with COVID-19 and developed a positive attitude toward life and a high sense of professional responsibility. Finally, we learned about their needs to respond to public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
Conclusion
COVID-19 is a disaster for all of humanity. The newly recruited male nurses are an important force in emergency rescue. Although they suffered from short-term negative emotions, they quickly adapted to the crisis. In order to better prepare for future emergencies, the disaster response capacity of newly recruited male nurses needs to be further improved. In addition, newly recruited male nurses have a strong demand for timely and personalized career development guidance.
