Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2016;22(6):645-649
Objective To explore the efficacy of Tai Ji Quan on the elders with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods From June to October, 2015, 108 old people with MCI were divided into control group (n=54) and intervention group (n=54). Both groups studied rele-vant knowledge about MCI and received handbooks. The excise of Tai Ji Quan was regularly conducted in the intervention group at least for-ty minutes a time and four times per week for three months. They were assessed with the Peking Union Medical College Version of Montre-al Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-P) before and after intervention. Results There was no significant difference in the scores of MoCA-P be-tween two groups before intervention (Z<1.425, P>0.05). After intervention, the total scores of MoCA-P, and the scores of visual space func-tion and long delayed recall were higher in the intervention group than in the control group (Z>3.425, P<0.01). Conclusion Tai Ji Quan can effectively improve the cognitive function, especially memory and executive function, in the elderly with MCI.

Objective:To explore the professional quality learning needs among nursing students in colleges and universities in China under the background of the five educations.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select nursing students who interned at Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College Hospital in 2021 as the research subject. The survey was conducted using a self-made "Professional Quality Learning Needs among Nursing Students in Colleges and Universities ". Multiple linear regression was used to explore the influencing factors of nursing students' professional quality learning needs. A total of 349 questionnaires were distributed, and 348 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective recovery rate of 99.7%.Results:Among 348 nursing students, the five items with the highest need for professional quality learning were basic nursing skills, correct implementation of nursing procedures, communicating with patients and their families in appropriate ways, understanding of patient safety related concepts and nursing professional knowledge. Academic degree was a factor that affected the professional quality learning needs among nursing students ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The training of nursing students' professional quality should be need oriented and establish a new era of "five education" concept. It should not only meet job requirements, but also combine students' own characteristics and growth patterns to cultivate nursing talents that meet clinical needs.
