Post-acute pancreatitis diabetes is one of the most common distant complications of acute pancreatitis. However, its incidence has been underestimated for a long time, indicating that it has not been taken seriously by healthcare professionals in clinical practice. This article provides a review of the urgent need for healthcare professionals to focus on the current status, adverse outcomes, screening and management aspects of diabetes after acute pancreatitis, and aims to provide a reference for healthcare professionals in their relevant clinical work.

Objective:To understand the status quo of the job preparedness among newly recruited nurses and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:Totally 355 newly recruited nurses who joined 5 Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals nationwide between September 2021 and September 2022 were selected by convenience sampling and investigated by general information surveys, the Work Readiness Scale for Graduate Nurses and the Transition Shock of Newly Graduated Nurses Scale. Logistic regression was employed to analyze the influencing factors of the job preparedness among these newly recruited nurses.Results:A total of 355 questionnaires were distributed, and 350 valid responses were received, with a valid response rate of 98.6%. The overall score for the job preparedness of the newly recruited nurses was (271.05±49.97), with a standardized total score of (73.26±13.57). 208 individuals (59.4%) scored high (standardized total score ≥70), while 142 individuals (40.6%) scored low (standardized total score<70). Logistic regression analysis revealed that the department of employment, part-time job experience, harmonious relationships with classmates during schooling, and the level of transition shock were influencing factors for the job preparedness of the newly recruited nurses ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The job preparedness of newly recruited nurses is influenced by various factors. Nursing educators and managers should adopt targeted educational and management strategies based on the nurses' different experiences, interpersonal relationships, department of employment, and level of transition shock to enhance their job preparedness.

The mini-midline catheter is a new technology for catheter placement that opens up a new field of peripheral venous access devices(PVADs)and plays an important role in the intravenous treatment of patients with fragile vasculature and difficult intravenous access(DIVA).Mini-midline catheter is more economical and easier to puncture than midline catheter,longer retention time than short cannula,lower catheter-related complications,it is the preferred solution for venous vascular access device(VAD)in short-to medium-term infusion and has been widely used in intravenous infusion abroad.Domestic research and application of this technology are still in the exploratory stage,and the specifications,guidelines and expert consensus for mini midline catheters have not yet been released,and there is a lack of standardized operation procedures,indications,contraindications and other guidelines.More studies with higher quality and multi-center linkage cooperation need to be carried out to provide a theoretical and practical basis for the formulation of industry standards for mini midline catheters in line with clinical practice.The definition,attributes,innovation,indications,advantages and disadvantages of the mini midline catheter were reviewed,so as to provide reference for clinical application.
