Objective:This study is to investigate the job satisfaction of nursing staff in public hospital and ana-lyze the influential factors, thus to provide evidence for improving the performance of human resource management in the hospitals. Methods:A sample of 100 nurses in the affiliated hospital of Weifang Medical University was se-lected to participate in this study with cluster sampling method. Job satisfaction was investigated using self-de-signed questionnaire, and data analysis was conducted with SPSS software. Results:The total score of job satisfac-tion is(92. 52 ± 18. 17). The highest is about their working group with 3. 89 ± 0. 58, while the lowest is about their labor return with(2. 19 ± 0. 89). Authorized strength, education, working years and monthly salary all impact the job satisfaction of nurses. Conclusions:At present, nurses′job satisfaction is at a media level. The managers of public hospitals should build a scientific compensation system and humanized duty system and so on, which can meet the different needs of nursing staff and improve their job satisfaction.
2.The Effect of Different Frequency and Time of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation to Current Perception Threshold
Tianjin Medical Journal 2014;(6):578-580
Objective To analysis the consequence of current perception threshold (CPT) by different frequency and time of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). Methods CPT of foramen area and arm area was measured to evaluate the effect of TENS. Different frequency and time of TENS was given to 30 healthy volunteers. Stimulating to Hegu, CPT of the foramen area and the arm area on the same side was measured. Results CPT of the foramen area increased with stimulation. Low frequency of TENS inhibited the chronic pain significantly(P<0.05),high frequency of TENS inhibited both of the chronic pain and the acute pain(P<0.05). The inhibition of pain is more influenced by the frequency of TENS than the time of it. Conclusion Channel and point of TENS can influence CPT of the specific reaction area. And the choice of appropriate frequency of the treatment is more important than extending the treatment time alone.

Objective To determine the optimum dose of Oxycodone for anesthesia induction in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods Ninety patients, ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ , scheduled for elective LC, were randomly divided into 3 groups using random number table (O 1~O 3 groups, n = 30 each). Anesthesia was induced with iv Propofol 1.00~2.00 mg/kg, Oxycodone 0.20 mg/kg, 0.3 mg/kg and 0.4 mg/kg (O 1~O 3 groups, respectively), and Vecuronium 0.10 mg/kg. Before anesthesia induction ( T0 ), 1 min after Laryngeal Mask intubating ( T1 ), the instant of pneumoperitoneum ( T2 ), separation of the gallbladder ( T3 ), wake up immediately ( T4 ), leaving the recovery room ( T5 ), the heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were recorded. At T4, leaving the recovery room ( T5 ), 4 hours after the operation ( T6 ), 8 hours after operation (T7), the numeric pain rating scale (NRS) were recorded. The overall amount of remifentanil and Oxycodone were record. The wake up time, additional analgetic cases and the adverse reactions were recorded. Results The average HR, SBP and DBP fluctuations in the O 2 and O 3 groups were not more than 20.00% of the basal values. There was no significant difference in wake up time between the three groups. There were 22 cases of patients, the NRS> 4, in O1 group requires additional analgesics after they wake up, more than O 2 and O 3 group (7, 3 respectively, P < 0.05). The overall Oxycodone consumption of the three groups were O1: (18.93 ± 4.34) mg (0.90~2.60 mg),O2: (25.50 ± 4.49) mg (1.40~3.00 mg), O3: (26.10 ± 4.55) mg (1.80~3.40 mg) (F = 23.79, P = 0.000). There was no significant difference in adverse reactions between the three groups, but one patient had respiratory depression in O3 group. Conclusion The optimum dose of Oxycodone for anesthesia inducing in laparoscopic cholecystectomy were 0.30 mg/kg.

Objective To explore whether emotion regulation mediates the relationship between occupational stress and job burnout in a large sample of nurses, in order to provide a targeted intervention. Methods Chinese Nurses Stressor Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and Ruminative Responses Scale were used to investigate 602 nurses working in three tertiary hospitals in Jinan. SPSS 16.0 and AMOS 17.0 software were used to analyze the data. Results Job burnout were positively correlated with stressors, expression suppression and rumination (r=0.112–0.576, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with cognitive reappraisal (r=-0.277, P<0.01). Stressors were positively correlated with expression suppression and rumination (r = 0.140–0.403, P <0.01), and negatively correlated with cognitive reappraisal (r =-0.110, P < 0.01). Occupational stress could make a positive role on job burnout directly. Moreover, in the indirect approach, occupational stress could make a positive role on job burnout through the mediating role of cognitive reappraisal and ruminative, but not expression suppression. Conclusions Cognitive reappraisal and ruminative partially mediated the relationship between occupational stress and job burnout.

Objective To evaluate the role of hypoxia inducible factor?1α ( HIF?1α) in reduction of apoptosis in cortical neurons of rats by sevoflurane preconditioning and the relationship with Slit2∕Robo signaling pathway. Methods Primary cortical neurons obtained from neonatal Sprague?Dawley rats were seeded in 6?well (2 ml∕well) or 96?well plates (100 μl∕well) at a density of 1×106∕ml, and randomly divided into 4 groups ( n=24 each ) using a random number table: control group ( C group ) , anoxia?reoxygenation ( A∕R ) group, sevoflurane preconditioning group ( SP group ) and HIF?1α inhibitor 2?methoxyestradiol group ( H group ) . The neurons were subjected to O2?glucose deprivation for 90 min followed by restoration of O2?glucose supply for 24 h. In group SP, the neurons were exposed to 2%sevoflurane for 2 h followed by 5 min washout with phosphate buffered saline for 3 times, and then sevoflurane preconditioning was performed immediately. In group H, sevoflurane preconditioning was performed with 5μmol∕L 2?methoxyestradiol at 72 h of incubation. The apoptosis in neurons was assessed using AnnexinⅤ?FITC∕PI assay, and apoptosis rate ( AR) was calculated. The amount of lactic dehydrogenase ( LDH) released was measured using colorimetric method. The expression of Slit2, Robo1 and Robo4 mRNA and protein was detected by fluorescent quantitative real?time polymerase chain reaction or Western blot. Results Compared with group C, the amount of LDH released and AR were significantly increased, Silt2 and Robo1 mRNA and protein expression was up?regulated, and no significant change was found in Robo4 mRNA and protein expression in A∕R group. Compared with group A∕R, the amount of LDH released and AR were significantly decreased in SP and H groups, and Silt2 and Robo1 mRNA and protein expression was up?regulated, and no significant change was found in Robo4 mRNA and protein expression in SP group. Compared with group SP, the amount of LDH released and AR were significantly increased, and Silt2 and Robo1 mRNA and protein expression was down?regulated in H group. Conclusion HIF?1α mediates reduction of apoptosis in cortical neurons of rats by sevoflurane preconditioning, and the mechanism is associated with Slit2∕Robo1 signaling pathway, but not with Slit2∕Robo4 signaling pathway.
