Objective:To investigate the construction of ostomy nurse-led clinics in tertiary hospitals in China.Methods:Using the convenient method, managers of ostomy nurse-led clinics in tertiary hospitals in 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in China in August 2020 were selected as the survey objects. Questionnaire for Survey on Status Quo of Ostomy nurse-led clinics in ClassⅢ Grade A hospital in China was used to investigate. A total of 367 questionnaires were recovered in this survey, 313 valid questionnaires were recovered, and the effective recovery rate was 85.29%.Results:A total of 313 tertiary hospitals have set up ostomy nurse-led clinics. Among the ostomy nurse-led clinics, 86.58% (271/313) of the ostomy specialist nursing outpatient visits were independent visits by nurses. The opening period of stoma clinic was (6.27±4.08) years and the weekly opening time was (5.30±3.93) half-days. The average monthly outpatient number was 100, with a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 3 000. In terms of job management, 50.48% (158/313) of the stoma specialist nursing outpatient jobs were part-time, managers were mostly undergraduates (74.44%, 233/313) , the professional title of managers was mostly nurse in charge (48.24%, 151/313) , 38.98% (122/313) of hospitals had promotion system and 36.74% (115/313) of hospitals had performance management system. There were large differences in environmental layout, facilities and equipment, goods management and specialist management and there was no unified standard.Conclusions:There are great differences in the construction of ostomy nurse-led clinics in tertiary hospitals in China, which need to be further standardized and unified. It is suggested that relevant departments should introduce relevant policies to encourage the establishment of full-time nurse posts in ostomy nurse-led clinics, guarantee the training, promotion and performance reward of visiting nurses and fully encourage the subjective initiative of ostomy specialist nurses to promote their career development.

Stoma refers to the channel established by surgery to excrete the excreta in the body, which changes the excretion mode of patients, and has a serious impact on the physiological, psychological, spiritual, social and other aspects of patients. The World Council of Enterostomal Therapists released International Ostomy Guideline (Second Edition) in 2020, covering four aspects, including the education and scope of practice, holistic approach to care, preoperative nursing needs and postoperative nursing needs, and a total of 15 recommendations. This article focuses on the interpretation of eight recommendations on the two aspects of preoperative and postoperative nursing needs, with a view to promoting the reform of clinical practice and providing evidence-based basis for clinical nurses. At the same time, it is suggested that clinical nurses should make targeted transformation according to specific clinical situations to improve the quality of clinical nursing.

Objective:To explore the current status and influencing factors of self-care ability in patients with cystostomy and ileal conduit.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 160 patients with cystostomy and ileal conduit who visited the Urostomy Clinic of Peking University First Hospital from October 2021 to March 2022 were selected as the research objects. Patients were surveyed using a general information survey questionnaire, Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) and Urostomy Education Scale. Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between social support and self-care in patients with cystostomy and ileal conduit, and multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of self-care ability in patients with cystostomy and ileal conduit. A total of 160 questionnaires were sent out, and 157 were effectively collected, with an effective recovery rate of 98.13% (157/160) .Results:The total score of Urostomy Education Scale of 157 patients with cystostomy and ileal conduit was [20.00 (4.00, 21.00) ]. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that marital status, comorbidities, stoma and peristomal complications, frequency of follow up in urostomy clinic and objective support were the influenting factors for self-care of patients with cystostomy and ileal conduit ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Self-care of patients with cystostomy and ileal conduit is related to many factors. Medical staff should strengthen the intervention and management of patients with cystostomy and ileal conduit from multiple aspects such as individual and social function, so as to improve their self-care ability.

Objective? To understand the situation of urinary incontinence and quality of life among patients with post-laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and to analyze the correlation between them. Methods? From September 2015 to October 2016, we selected 115 patients with post-laparoscopic radical prostatectomy at a ClassⅢ Grade A hospital in Beijing for survey by questionnaire with the method of convenience sampling. We collected patients' general information as well as disease information, and evaluated the situation of urinary incontinence (incidence and severity of urinary incontinence) with the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF) and influence of urinary incontinence on quality of life with the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) to analyze the correlation between severity of urinary incontinence and quality of life. Results? Among 115 patients with post-laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, there were 95 (82.6%) urinary incontinence patients including 41 cases (43.1%) with mild urinary incontinence, 47 cases (49.5%) with medium urinary incontinence and 7 cases (7.4%) with severe urinary incontinence. The score of severity of urinary incontinence ranged from 0 to 19.0 with 8.0 for the median and 5.0 for the interquartile range. Spearman correlation analysis showed that the score of IIQ-7 had a positive correlation with the severity of urinary incontinence (r=0.674, P＜0.01), and had a negative correlation with the postoperative time (r=-0.215, P＜0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the main influencing factor of quality of life was severity of urinary incontinence (P＜0.01). Conclusions? Urinary incontinence is common among patients with post-laparoscopic radical prostatectomy mainly in mild and medium urinary incontinence. The more serious the urinary incontinence is,the greater the influence on quality of life is which points out that the scientific and effective management by medical staff for urinary incontinence can improve patients' quality of life.

The evidence was summarized from 6 aspects, namely admission assessment, contraindications, applicable population, starting time, duration and patient education, and a total of 10 recommendations were formed.Conclusions:This study summarizes the best evidence for mechanical prevention of VTE in adult patients undergoing abdominal and pelvic surgery, and provides evidence-based evidence for standardizing clinical mechanical prevention.

Objective:To compile the post quality standard scale for wound, ostomy and continence nurses in China and to test the reliability and validity of the scale.Methods:The first draft of the scale was formed through literature review, semi-structured interview and Delphi expert letter consultation. Using the purposive sampling method, a total of 796 wound, ostomy and continence nurses from 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions of China were selected from April to May 2019 to test the reliability and validity of the scale. A total of 796 questionnaires were sent out and 693 were effectively received, with effective recovery of 87.1%.Results:The post quality standard scale for wound, ostomy and continence nurses included 3 first-level items and 77 second-level items. Three common factors were extracted from exploratory factor analysis and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 72.466%. The correlation coefficient between the first-level items was 0.709-0.898 and the correlation coefficient between the first-level item and the total scale was 0.859-0.937. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the total amount table was 0.992 and the half-fold reliability coefficient was 0.917 ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:The post quality standard scale for wound, ostomy and continence nurses has good reliability and validity, which can be used to evaluate the post quality of wound, ostomy and continence nurses.

With the development of medical technology, the survival rate of cancer patients continues to improve, and the number of stoma patients is increasing day by day. Self-management refers to patients monitoring and managing their own diseases to maintain and improve physical health. Good self-management ability can enhance patient treatment compliance, reduce the incidence of stoma and surrounding complications, improve health outcomes, and raise patient quality of life. This article reviews the research progress on self-management of stoma patients, with the aim of providing reference for research on self-management of stoma patients.

Objective:To construct a position responsibilities index system of wound, ostomy and continence nurses (WOCN) based on the Delphi method.Methods:Through literature review, semi-structured interviews, and investigation and research on the current working situation of WOCN, the expert inquiry questionnaire was self-designed with reference to opinions of the expert coordination group. From January to April 2019, a total of 45 senior experts including professional doctors, WOCN representatives, representatives of international Enterostomal Therapist Training Program (ETNEP) and chairmen of various provincial professional committees in China were invited to conduct 3 rounds of Delphi expert consultation, and construct the position responsibilities index system of WOCN.Results:The positive coefficients of the 3 rounds of expert consultation were respectively 100.0% (45/45) , 93.3% (42/45) and 100.0% (42/42) , and the authority coefficient of the experts was (0.92±0.16) . The final position responsibilities index system of WOCN included 5 first-level indexes such as clinical practice, education, research, coordinated management and professional promotion and 33 second-level indexes.Conclusions:The index system constructed in the study clarifies the position responsibilities of WOCN, which helps to provide a certain theoretical basis for the work, performance and classification of specialist nurses.

Objective:To retrieve, evaluate and summarize relevant evidence of parastomal hernia prevention and management, so as to provide a reference for clinical nursing.Methods:We used computer systems to search and screen the related guidelines, evidence summary, recommended practices, expert consensus and systematic reviews on the prevention and management of parastomal hernia in the official websites of ostomy-related associations, guide networks, and databases. The research time limit was from the establishment of the database to July 2, 2020. Two systematically trained researchers evaluated the quality of the articles, and extracted data and evidence from the articles that met the quality standards.Results:A total of 9 articles were included, involving 6 guidelines, 1 recommended practice and 2 systematic reviews. A total of 15 best pieces of evidence were summarized, including 5 aspects, namely diagnostic standards, classification, risk factors, prevention and management.Conclusions:If medical personnel can accurately identify the risk factors of parastomal hernia, and carry out early prevention and management, it can reduce the incidence of parastomal hernia and/or alleviate the discomfort caused by parastomal hernia, thereby improving the patient's quality of life. It is suggested that clinical nursing staff can transform in a targeted manner according to specific clinical situations to improve the quality of clinical nursing.
