Objective:
To investigate the occupational delay of gratification among community healthcare workers and its influencing factors, so as to provide insights into the sustainable development of primary healthcare personnel.
Methods:
The in-service community healthcare workers from 5-7 community health service centers in 9 cities (prefectures) of Guizhou Province were selected using a multi-stage stratified random sampling method. Gender, age, and educational level and other basic information were collected through questionnaire surveys. The status of occupational delay of gratification was investigated using the Occupational Delay of Gratification Scale. Multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of occupational delay of gratification.
Results:
A total of 2 076 respondents were surveyed, including 367 males (17.68%) and 1 709 females (82.32%). There were 112 respondents (5.39%) with secondary vocational school degree or below, 872 respondents (42.00%) with junior college degree, 1 087 respondents (52.36%) with bachelor's degree, and 5 respondents (0.24%) with master's degree or above. There were 665 respondents (32.03%) with managerial positions. The monthly income of 1 705 respondents (82.13%) was ≤5 000 Yuan. The total score of occupational delay of gratification was (33.22±4.33) points, and the total average score was (2.77±0.36) points. The average scores of work delay, career delay and persistence were (2.67±0.48), (2.96±0.45) and (2.75±0.46) points, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis identified educational level (junior college, β=0.089; bachelor's degree, β=0.088), management position (not have, β=-0.046) and monthly income (>6 000 Yuan, β=0.085) as factors affecting occupational delay of gratification (all P<0.05).
Conclusion
The community healthcare workers with an education below secondary vocational school, no management position and lower income have relatively lower level of occupational delay of gratification.

Objective:To investigate the latent classes and influencing factors of vicarious posttraumatic growth among emergency nurses.Methods:Convenience sampling method was used to select the 498 emergency nurses of 20 public general hospitals in Anhui province as the survey objects. The general information questionnaire and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory were used to investigate. Latent class analysis was used to classify vicarious posttraumatic growth of emergency nurses, and the influencing factors of latent classes were analyzed by binary logistic regression.Results:There were two latent classes of vicarious posttraumatic growth of emergency nurses including high growth-high fluctuation group (24.1%, 120/498) and low growth group (75.9%, 378/498). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that professional title, average monthly income and self-rated health status were the factors influencing the latent classes (all P<0.05). Conclusions:There are obvious classification characteristics of vicarious posttraumatic growth among emergency nurses. Nursing managers should formulate and implement targeted intervention measures according to the classification characteristics and influencing factors to improve their vicarious posttraumatic growth level.

Frailty and trauma are closely related, and together affect the health outcomes of elderly trauma patients. However, insufficient attention has been paid to the frailty of elderly trauma patients in China. This paper reviews the relationship between frailty and trauma, assessment tools and management of frailty in elderly trauma patients, in order to provide a new perspective of nursing care for elderly trauma patients in China and to provide references for carrying out research on frailty in elderly trauma patients.

Objective:To explore the current status of vicarious posttraumatic growth (VPTG) among emergency nurses, and analyze its influencing factors and pathways of action.Methods:From March to May 2022, convenience sampling was used to select 532 emergency nurses from 20 public general hospitals in Anhui Province as the research subject. A survey was conducted on emergency nurses using the General Information Questionnaire, Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, Chinese Version of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. AMOS 24.0 software was used to establish the structural equation model and analyze the path relationships between variables.Results:A total of 532 questionnaires were distributed, and 480 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 90.23% (480/532). The score of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory for 480 emergency nurses was (49.35±15.82). Empathy, psychological resilience, and perceived social support all had a positive impact on VPTG, with total effect values of 0.503, 0.261, and 0.163, respectively. Empathy directly or indirectly affected VPTG through perceived social support and psychological resilience. Perceived social support indirectly affected VPTG through psychological resilience, and psychological resilience directly affected VPTG.Conclusions:VPTG of emergency nurses is directly and/or indirectly positively influenced by empathy, psychological resilience, and perceived social support. Nursing managers should pay attention to the interaction between factors, take effective measures based on the association between factors, and promote the positive transformation of emergency nurses after trauma.

Objective:
To explore the quality management of critical patients in the process of medical helicopter rescue and transshipment.
Methods:
After receiving the rescue and transshipment task for 10 critically ill patients, the Emergency Department quickly established the rescue quality management team under the direction of the dean: with helicopter on-site rescue and transshipment team, in-hospital pick-up and transshipment team, logistic support team and coordination command group; full medical security assessment: to prepare all emergency supplies, drugs, instruments and equipment in a predictable manner, and all within the effective period, completed. The success rate is 100%. The formulation of rescue plan: formulating individualized emergency plan, pre-examination and triage evaluation plan, transporting and implementing process plan; unblocked green channel: setting up rescue room as rescue preparation area; radiology department, laboratory department, pharmacy, B-ultrasound room, electrocardiogram room, emergency transfer elevator, medical housekeeper and other departments ensure the green channel unblocked, safety logistic support team dedicated personnel management. To manage the area from apron to emergency hall and rescue room, smooth transit routes, and prepare for emergency treatment in emergency intensive care unit and specialized intensive care unit. Specialized organizations are responsible for: Department directors, head nurses and quality control team leaders to organize and coordinate quality management work.
Results:
All 10 critically ill patients were safely and smoothly transported to hospital for emergency treatment without any adverse events. Six patients received emergency intensive care, three orthopaedic care, one hand-foot surgery care, and 10 critically ill patients were discharged from hospital in time and safely through various specialties.
Conclusion
The successful rescue and safe transshipment of 10 critically ill patients reflects the good beginning of the development of medical helicopter rescue in our province, and forms a complete, organized, targeted, planned and implemented team rescue system, which greatly improves the quality management level of medical helicopter rescue and transshipment.
