Objective To emphasize characteristics in professional education and focus on practical use and serve the regional economy.Methods We studied the patients from six hospitals in 2013,and compared the first ten diseases and their specialized nursing skills with our current teaching curriculum,teaching contents and the guidance of the national nursing qualification test.Results The current surgical nursing teaching curriculum could not match the common clinical tasks.Some common diseases did not include in our teaching plan;on the other hand,some rare diseases were still included.The current teaching content was not complete,with a lack of new nursing methods.It could not fulfill the need of practical clinical tasks.Conclusions In order to serve the practical use,the teaching contents must be modified based on the regional spectrum of disease and the changes in the treatment and the nursing methods.

Objective? To explore the effect of therapeutic touch(TT) combined with progressive muscle relaxation training(PMRT) on reducing perioperative stress response in patients with gastric cancer. Methods? By convenience sampling, 120 patients with gastric cancer admitted in the department of general surgery of a Class Ⅱ Grade A hospital in Jiangsu Province from May to October of 2018 were selected as research objects. According to the random number table, they were divided into the experimental group(n=60) and control group (n=60). Conventional nursing approach was adopted in the control group while TT combined with PMRT was adopted in the experimental group. The Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), and Nursing Satisfaction Questionnaire were used to evaluate the intervention effect. Results? The NRS score of the experimental group were lower than that of the control group at 24 and 48 hours after operation with statistical differences (P＜0.05). After intervention, SAS score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P＜ 0.01). At discharge, the nursing satisfaction of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05). Conclusions? The application of TT combined with PMRT is helpful to reduce the stress response in perioperative patients with gastric cancer.
