Delirium and cognitive impairment are common in the intensive care units (ICU). The Confusion Assessment Method Inten-sive Care Unit (CAM-ICU), Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC), Cognitive Test for Delirium (CTD), Nursing Delirium Scale (Nu-DESC) and Delirium Rating Scale (DRS) are recommended to assess delirium. CAM-ICU and ICDSC are the best in the reliabili-ty, validity, sensitivity and specification. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Abbreviated Mental Status Examination (AMSE), the Johns Hopkins Adapted Cognitive Exam are used commonly for cognitive impairment, and Johns Hopkins Adapted Cognitive Exam is one of the suitable scales for ICU as it is simple, comprehensive, and with higher reliability and validity.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (LOTCA) battery for patients at the early stage of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods 72 patients with TBI hospitalized from January, 2013 to October, 2014 and 30 healthy controls matched gender, age and educational background were assessed with the Chinese version of LOTCA battery and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) respectively. Results The score of MMSE and LOTCA were correlated (r=0.56, P<0.01). Compared with the controls, the scores of all the subtests of LOTCA decreased (P<0.01) in the patients, especially the orientation, visuomo-tor organization and thinking operation;with the more incidence of medium and serious dysfunction of all the subtests of LOTCA except perception (P<0.01), in which thinking operation was the most and attention was the least. The area under the receiver operating curve (ROC) was (0.84±0.04) in LOTCA, less than that of (0.91±0.03) in MMSE (P<0.05). Conclusion Cognition is widely impaired in patients after TBI, most involved thinking operation. LOTCA is less effective to identify cognitive dysfunction than MMSE, and can be used as an al-ternation or a supplement.

Objective:To understand the current status of knowledge, attitudes and practice of clinical nurses on infusion phlebitis in Heilongjiang Province, so as to provide a reference for targeted management, related training and intervention of infusion phlebitis.Methods:From November to December 2019, this study adopted a two-stage sampling method. The first stage was based on the stratified cluster sampling and the stratification was according to the level of hospitals to select 12 hospitals in Heilongjiang Province, including 9 Class Ⅲ hospitals and 3 Class Ⅱ hospitals. In the second stage, convenience sampling was adopted to select clinical nurses from 12 hospitals meeting the inclusion criteria as the research subject. The investigation was carried out with the self-designed Infusion Phlebitis Knowledge, Attitudes and Practice Questionnaire for Clinical Nurses. A total of 843 questionnaires were returned, of which 775 were valid questionnaires, with a valid response rate of 91.9%.Results:Among 775 clinical nurses, the score of knowledge, attitudes and practice of infusion phlebitis was (52.42±11.11) , (32.71±4.86) and (49.33±10.60) respectively. Univariate analysis showed that there were statistical differences in the total scores of knowledge, attitudes and practice of infusion phlebitis among clinical nurses with different genders, ages, working years, education, professional titles and related training experience ( P<0.05) . Multiple linear regression showed that the influencing factors of infusion phlebitis knowledge and practice included the working year, professional title and whether to participate in training; the influencing factors of infusion phlebitis attitudes included the working year, education and whether to participate in training. Conclusions:The level of attitudes in phlebitis among clinical nurses in Heilongjiang Province is relatively good, and the level of knowledge and practice is at an intermediate level. Managers should regularly provide relevant knowledge and skills training for clinical nurses, and pay particular attention to junior nurses and nurses with low professional titles to improve the quality of clinical care.
