Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and risk factors of catheterrelated infection in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) patients.Methods The demographic and clinical data of CRRT patients who inserted with double-lumen non-cuffed dialysis catheter at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 1,2016 to December 31,2016 were collected.According to the presence or absence of catheter-related infections,they were divided into infected group and uninfected group.Statistics and analysis of the incidence and pathogenic characteristics of catheter-related infections;Comparison of clinical features of infected and uninfected groups;A multivariate Cox proportional hazard model was used to analyze risk factors for catheter-related infections.Results A total of 364 patients with CRRT (437 cases of central venous catheterization) were enrolled in the study.Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) and catheterrelated colonization (CRCOL) rates were 3.565 and 2.228 events per 1000 catheter-days.These catheters were associated with higher proportion of inserted in ICU (P=0.007),immunosuppression (P=0.002),receive catecholamine inotropes therapy (P=0.001) and shock (P=0.030).The infection catheters also had shorter indwelling time (P=0.032) and lower level of blood hemoglobin (P=0.017),serum creatinine (P=0.004),blood brain natriuretic peptide (P=0.005) pericatheter use.The most common pathogens were Gram-negative bacteria,especially Acinetobacter baumannii,which caused 37.5％ CRBSI and 20.0％ CRCOL.Multivariate Cox regression model showed female (P=0.029,HR=2.151),diabetes (P=0.016,HR=2.807),receive catecholamine inotropes therapy (P=0.012,HR=2.655),immunosuppression (P=0.037,HR=2.203) were independent risk factors associated with catheterrelated infection.Conclusions The incidence of CRBSI and CRCOL is 3.565 and 2.228 events per 1000 catheter-days CRRT patients in our hospital.The most common pathogen of catherter-related infection is Gram-negative bacteria.Female,diabetes,received catecholamine inotropic drugs,and immunosuppression were independent risk factors associated with catheter-related infection.

Objective:To investigate the psychological status of HD nursing staff in hospitals in Guangdong province and its influential factors.Methods:1 630 nursing staff in HD rooms of 71 hospitals or units in Guangdong Province in February and March 2020 were evaluated by using the 10-item Kessler psychological distress scale (Kessler 10), General self-efficacy scale (GSES) and Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC) to conduct a questionnaire survey on their psychological status. Insomnia severity index (ISI) and Fatigue scale-14 (FS-14) were used to investigate their degree of insomnia and fatigue. General information on gender, age, educational level, marital status, economic income, professional title, HD working hours, average weekly overtime times and hours, total number of HD patients per day, and whether holding other positions were collected.Results:A total of 1 630 questionnaires were collected, among which 1 629 were valid, with an effective recovery rate of 99.9%. The scores of the three scales were (20.16±7.47), (27.03±4.45) and (58.37±15.75), respectively. According to the Kessler 10, 835 people (51.2%) had mental disorders. Univariate analysis showed that age, educational level, economic income, type of work unit, total number of HD patients per day and living status in recent one week were related with Kessler 10 score (all P<0.05). Economic income, type of work unit, whether holding other positions, total number of HD patients per day and living status in recent one week were related with GSES scores (all P<0.05). Age, marital status, economic income, professional title, type of work unit, whether holding other positions and living status in recent one week were related to CD-RISC score (all P<0.05). Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that the number of HD machines ( r=0.100, P<0.001), the number of nurses ( r=0.082, P=0.001), average weekly overtime times ( r=0.142, P<0.001) and overtime hours ( r=0.136, P<0.001), ISI score ( r=0.572, P<0.001) and FS-14 score ( r=0.635, P<0.001) were correlated with Kessler 10 score. ISI score ( r=-0.311, P<0.001) and FS-14 score ( r=-0.335, P<0.001) were correlated with GSES score. Working years of HD service ( r=0.112, P<0.001), ISI score ( r=-0.289, P<0.001) and FS-14 score ( r=-0.314, P<0.001) were correlated with CD-RISC score. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the economic income in 5 001-10 000 yuan (with<3 000 yuan as reference, B=-1.603, 95% CI -3.036--0.169, P=0.028) and the total number of HD patients per day >200 (with ≤50 as reference, B=-1.153, 95% CI -2.242--0.065, P=0.038) were negatively correlated with Kessler 10 score, and average weekly overtime times ( B=0.221, 95% CI 0.069-0.374, P=0.004), ISI score ( B=0.518, 95% CI 0.454-0.582, P<0.001) and FS-14 score ( B=1.166, 95% CI 1.066-1.265, P<0.001) were positively correlated with Kessler 10 score. The economic income (with<3 000 yuan as reference) in 3 001-5 000 yuan ( B=1.930, 95% CI 0.847-3.013, P<0.001), 5 001-10 000 yuan ( B=1.949, 95% CI 0.887-3.012, P<0.001), 10 001-15 000 yuan ( B=1.482, 95% CI 0.318-2.647, P=0.013), >20 000 yuan ( B=4.300, 95% CI 2.463-6.136, P<0.001), secondary hospital (with primary hospitals as reference, B= 1.078, 95% CI 0.005-2.152, P=0.049) and holding other positions ( B=0.729, 95% CI 0.277-1.181, P=0.002) were positively correlated with GSES score, and ISI score ( B=-0.169, 95% CI -0.217--0.120, P<0.001) and FS-14 score ( B=-0.403, 95% CI -0.478--0.328, P<0.001) were negatively correlated with GSES score. The economic income (with<3 000 yuan as reference) in 3 001-5 000 yuan ( B=7.631, 95% CI 3.753-11.509, P<0.001), 5 001-10 000 yuan ( B=9.236, 95% CI 5.362-13.110, P<0.001), 10 001-15 000 yuan ( B=9.039, 95% CI 4.735-13.342, P<0.001), 15 001-20 000 yuan ( B=8.639, 95% CI 2.989-14.289, P=0.003), >20 000 yuan ( B=16.101, 95% CI 9.162-23.039, P<0.001) and holding other positions ( B=3.228, 95% CI 1.510-4.945, P<0.001) were positively correlated with CD-RISC score, and ISI score ( B=-0.593, 95% CI -0.765--0.420, P<0.001) and FS-14 score ( B=-1.258, 95% CI -1.525--0.992, P<0.001) were negatively correlated with CD-RISC score. Conclusion:The psychological status of nursing staff in HD rooms of hospitals in Guangdong Province needs to be improved. Effective preventive measures should be taken to provide timely psychological support, counseling and intervention to nursing staff with psychological abnormalities, and encourage them to take the initiative to seek psychological counseling when necessary, so as to promote their physical and mental health.
