Objective To explore the application effects of PDCA circulation on behavior management in discharged patients with first cerebral infarction. Methods Patients with first attack of cerebral infarction were enrolled from the department of neurology of the First Hospital of Anhui Medical University from April 2013 to March 2015. According to their admission numbers, patients were divided into the observation group (94 cases) and the control group (80 cases). Besides of the regular personalized secondary prevention, the observation group was also applied for the PDCA cycle for nine months. Stroke Behavior Change Inventory was used to evaluate the changes of their lifestyle and medication compliance one year after discharge for two groups. Results After the observed patients were discharged one year, the changed extent of these five behaviors including quitting smoking, regular monitoring blood pressure and sugar, appropriate exercise, pressure control in the observation group were 0.00 (0.00, 3.00), 1.68 (1.00, 3.00), 1.00 (0.00, 2.00), 1.20 (0.75, 2.00), 1.00 (0.00, 1.00) points, and these in the control group were 0.00 (0.00, 1.0)0, 1.00 (0.00, 2.00), 0.00 (0.00, 1.00), 1.00 (1.00, 2.00), 0.00(0.00, 1.00) points. The observation group in these parameters had significantly higher than the control group (Z=-3.166--2.419, P < 0.05). The changed extent of these behaviors in the medication compliance such as reducing blood glucose, blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, cardiovascular disease, and stroke prevention in the observed group were 0.00 (0.00, 0.00), 0.00 (0.00, 2.00), 0.00 (0.00, 0.00), 0.00 (0.00, 0.00), 3.00 (3.00, 3.00) points, and these in the control group were 0.00 (0.00, 0.00), 0.00 (0.00, 0.79), 0.00 (0.00, 0.00), 0.00 (0.00, 0.80), 0.00 (0.00, 1.50) points. The observation group in these parameters had significantly higher the above parameters than the control group (Z=-8.081--2.595, P<0.05). Conclusions Application of the PDCA circulation in the patients with first attack of cerebral infarction after their discharge can help them correct lifestyle and increase their medical treatment compliance, which is beneficial for secondary prevention of cerebral infarction.

Objective We aimed to compare the critical thinking ability between clinical nurses and college nursing students at different grades so as to provide scientific references for reform in nursing education and nursing practice. Methods A total of 287 clinical nurses and 656 nurses in grade one and grade three underwent the investigation by adopting Chinese version of critical thinking disposition inventory (CTDI-CV). Results The total scores of CTDI-CV of nursing students in grade one, nursing students in grade three and clinical nurses were (292.82±26.41), (284.71±26.20) and (290.58±24.87). Statistical difference existed between these groups. The scores of open-mindedness, inquisitiveness and maturity of judgement of nursing students in grade one and grade three were higher than that of the clinical nurses, while the scores of systematicity and self-confidence of critical thinking were less than that of the clinical nurses. Conclusions The current nursing education system needs further reform. At the same time we should also promote the transform of modern clinical nursing model.

Objective To explore the relationship between job burnout and sense of security among nurses in operating room in order to provide a basis for managers to improve nurses′ sense of security and reduce their job burnout. Methods 127 nurses working in operating room were investigated by Maslach Job Burnout Scale in Chinese version and Security Questionnaire. Results The scores of emotional exhaustion, personification and personal satisfaction in Maslach Job Burnout Scale were respectively (28.92±6.44) points,(13.20±4.97) points and (20.72±5.73) points. The positive detection rate of each domain was 57.5% (73/127),89.8% (114/127) and 79.5% (101/127).The scores of interpersonal security and perceived control in Security questionnaire were respectively (27.13±4.79) points and (25.69± 5.64) points. The personification was negatively correlated to the interpersonal security (r =-0.243, P <0.01) and perceived control (r=-0.436, P < 0.01). Personal accomplishment was positively correlated to interpersonal security (r=0.195, P<0.05). Conclusions The nurses in operating room have serious job burnout and moderate and high level of psychological security. Nursing managers should take some measures to reduce the positive detection rate of job burnout and improve the level of psychological security.

Objective? To investigate the readability evaluation of the printed health education materials by working nurses, to understand the perception of readability of health education materials and to lay the basis for future research on readability evaluation. Methods? In July 2017, 310 students from 147 hospitals (secondary and above) from all over Anhui Province were trained at Anhui Medical University. This study utilized the first stage of this training opportunity (July 3-14, 2017) to conduct an investigation of all participants. Surveys were conducted using a general survey, a printed health education material quality questionnaire, and a readability perception questionnaire. A total of 310 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and 283 valid questionnaires were returned. The effective response rate was 91.3%. Results? The results of the readability evaluation of the printed health education materials showed that 36 participants reported that there were no health education resources for the patients in their departments. 247 participants reported that they provided printed health education materials in their departments, 56.7% of them believed that the health education materials of their departments had too many medical terminologies, 53.8% thought that the key information was not summarized or emphasized, and 61.9% thought that the content was too old. Compared with the tertiary hospitals, the nurses working in the secondary hospitals thought that the health education materials in their hospitals had "too many medical terms" and "old content", and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The results of the evaluation of the application of health education materials showed that 247 clinical nurses reported that the existing health education materials were mainly obtained from the following channels, of which 64.8% were self-designed, 79.4% were from external institutions, and 68.4% were from online resources. Compared with the nurses in the tertiary hospitals, the nurses in the secondary hospitals reported more of the fact that their departments provided the same health education materials to patients with different stages, and the difference was statistically significant (P< 0.05); Regarding the perception of readability, 48.8% of the participants had heard of the concept of readability; 94.7% considered it necessary to assess the readability of health education materials; but only 20.5% understand the readability assessment method and have readability evaluation ability. Conclusions? At present, the health education materials used in clinical practice have to be improved in terms of readability and application methods, but the ability to evaluate readability is low. Developers of clinical education materials should pay attention to the readability evaluation of materials, learn from the methods and experience of foreign readability research, actively explore the evaluation methods suitable for the readability of health education materials in China, and improve the material based on the readability evaluation results. Hospital administrators should also strengthen the training of first-line health education nurses, improve their ability to assess the readability of health education materials and optimize the health education outcomes.
