Objective:To translate the Intermittent Catheterization Difficulty Questionnaire (ICDQ) into Chinese, and to test its reliability and validity in neurogenic bladder patients.Methods:After translation, back-translation, cross-cultural debugging, expert consultation and pre-investigation, a Chinese version of ICDQ was formed. A total of 248 patients with neurogenic bladder clean intermittent self-catheterization who were treated and followed up in the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University in October 2022 were selected as research objects by the convenient sampling method, and the Chinese version of ICDQ was used for investigation. The critical ratio method was used for project analysis. Content validity and structure validity were used to test the validity of the questionnaire. Cronbach's α coefficient, split half reliability coefficient and retest reliability coefficient were used to test the reliability of the questionnaire. A total of 248 questionnaires were sent out in this study, and 238 were effectively collected, with a recovery rate of 95.97% (238/248) .Results:The Cronbach's α coefficient of the Chinese version of ICDQ was 0.857, the split half coefficient was 0.711, and the retest reliability coefficient was 0.954. The content validity index of the Chinese version of ICDQ item level was 0.860 to 1.000, and the content validity index of the scale level was 0.930. Seven common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 77.38%. The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed RMSEA < 0.080, GFI, AGFI, TLI, CFI > 0.800. Conclusions:Through confirmatory factor analysis, the Chinese version of ICDQ shows that the model fitting indicators of the scale meet the corresponding requirements, indicating that the scale has high structural validity and overall model fitting. It can be used as an evaluation tool for intermittent self catheterization difficulties in patients with neurogenic bladder.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the effects of centralized volume-based procurement policy (hereinafter referred to as “centralized procurement”) on the use of anti-tumor drugs in medical institutions. METHODS The interrupted time series model was used to analyze the changes in the monthly purchase volume and purchase amount of docetaxel, gemcitabine and pemetrexed disodium in a third-grade class-A cancer hospital in Shanxi province from January 2018 to December 2021. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS After the implementation of the centralized procurement policy, both the selected drugs and the non-selected drugs had different degrees of price reduction, and the price reduction of the selected drugs was far greater than that of the non- selected drugs; average monthly purchase volume and amount of docetaxel decreased significantly in that month after the implementation of the policy, while those of gemcitabine and pemetrexed disodium increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). After the implementation of the policy, the average monthly purchase volume and amount of gemcitabine showed a downward trend, while those of docetaxel and pemetrexed disodium showed an upward trend (P<0.05 or P<0.01). It is suggested that hospitals should strengthen pharmaceutical administration, and avoid adopting a “one size fits all” approach to non-selected drugs; relevant departments should further expand the collection range of anti-tumor drugs or carry out special collection of anti-tumor drugs, so as to save medical insurance funds and reduce medical expenses.
