Objective To investigate the nurses ’ occupational commitment and intent to stay in hospitals and to analyze the correlation between them .Methods Totals of 469 subjects in 5 three level of first-class hospitals of Harbin city were obtained by using convenience sampling method .Research instruments used in this study had three parts , including demographic questionnaire , Nurses Occupational Commitment questionnaire and Intent to Stay Scale .Results The average score of nurses ’ occupational commitment was (72.46 ±12.76), and the average score of nurses ’ intent to stay was (14.39 ±3.35).Pearson analysis showed that intent to stay was positively correlated with occupational commitment and its five subscales such as affective commitment, normative commitment, emotional cost, economic cost, and chance commitment ( r =0.528,0.504,0.412,0.337,0.381,0.324, respectively;P<0.01).The predictors of intent to stay of nurses were age , education level and emotional commitment .Conclusions In order to stabilize nursing staff and reduce their turnover intention , administrators should issue and implement some interventions to increase occupational commitment and decrease their perceived job stress .

OBJECTIVETo investigate the outcomes and relative risk factors in subjects with impaired fasting glucose in Inner Mongolia, China.

METHODA total number of 32 villages in Kezuohou Banner and Naiman areas in Inner Mongolia were selected as the baseline surveys study fields from 2002 to 2003. Patients with IFG (5.6 mmol/L≤FPG<7.0 mmol/L) but without history of diabetes were selected as the study subjects. A follow-up study was conducted in 2013. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the correlated factors.

RESULTSThere were 384 patients with IFG recruited in the study. Out of them, 150 (39.1%) progressed to normoglycaemia, 174 (45.3%) remained as IFG, and 60 (15.6%) developed into type 2 diabetes mellitus. Through adjustment multivariately, patients that returning to the status of normoglycaemia were significantly associated under the function of TG (OR = 0.692, 95%CI:0.502-0.952, P < 0.05)and those developed to diabetes were significantly associated with factors as age(OR = 1.052, 95%CI:1.014-1.090, P < 0.05) or obesity (OR = 2.924, 95% CI:1.353-6.320, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION15.6% of the IFG patients developed diabetes mellitus among the Inner Mongolian population. Elevated TG was an inhibition factor for patients returning to normoglycaemia while both age and abdominal obesity were risk factors for the development of diabetes in the Inner Mongolian population.
