Two-way referral system is an important measure to promote the rational distribution of medical resources and promote the health of patients, but now there is a typical characteristic of"referrals up easy but downward referral difficult". while the transitional care of downward referral patients is one of the important impetus to promote the implementation of downward referral, this paper summarizes the necessity, connotation, main service forms, application effects and problem analysis status of the transitional referral of patients in the two-way referral mode in our country, in order to provide the basis for the establishment of a nursing security system suitable for two-way referral of patients.

Objective:To explore transition care needs among the parents of children with primary nephrotic syndrome and analyze the influencing factors.Methods:With convenient sampling method, parents of children with primary nephrotic syndrome were selected in the children's nephrology department of a tertiary grade A hospital in Shandong province. A total of 240 parents were enrolled in the study and they were investigated by using a self-designed questionnaire of transitional care needs of parents of children with primary nephrotic syndrome.Results:The total score of transitional care needs for parents was (4.12±1.08) points. The demand for disease knowledge, complication prevention and condition monitoring was the highest (4.67±0.53) points. 52.80% (113/214) of parents hope to receive transitional care services through network communication. 64.49% (138/214) of the parents want specialist doctors and nurses to provide nursing services for them. Multivariate stepwise regression analysis showed that age, education level, monthly income, hospitalization time and hormone use time of the children were the factors influencing the parents' demand for transitional care services ( P < 0.01). Conclusion:Parents of children with primary nephrotic syndrome have a high demand for transitional care. It is suggested to give full play to the leading role of professional medical teams and gradually form a hospital-community linkage transitional nursing mode; Parents of children with different age, education level, monthly income, hospitalization time and hormone use time have different needs for transitional care thus individualized transitional nursing for different patients are expected.

Objective:To investigate the status of the professional construction of head nurses in the tertiary hospitals of Shandong Province, and to master the professional cognition and attitude of the head nurses, and to provide reference for the formulation of the professional construction plan for the head nurses in the tertiary hospitals.Methods:A cross-sectional survey of 2 629 head nurses from 55 tertiary hospitals in Shandong Province was conducted using a self-designed questionnaire survey on the status of professional construction of head nurses in tertiary hospitals in Shandong Province.Results:The selection and training system of the head nurses in the tertiary hospitals in Shandong Province was mature. 93.00%(2 357/2 534) of the head nurses were undergraduate degrees, 18.40%(465/2 534) of the head nurses used all the working hours for nursing management, and 86.00%(2 179/2 534) were the main economic sources with the current position; 68.20%(1 728/2 534) were believed that the head nurse should be a trained nurse, 87.90%(2 227/2 534) thought that the head nurse′s professional construction was necessary, and the professional feasibility score was 77.93±19.75. The regression analysis showed that the factors affecting the head nurse′s own professional construction were age, satisfaction with salary satisfaction and self-worth ( P<0.05); 32.50%(257/791) of the head nurses suggested improving the management training system, 20.61%(163/791) recommended that the hospital should pay attention to the professional construction of the head nurse, and 7.33%(58/791) recommended establishing the standardization of professional standards. Conclusions:To improve the investment time of the head nurses and encourage the head nurses to continue the education management; the hospital should appropriately reduce the age requirements of the head nurses and improve the salary; establish a sound professional system and management training system for the head nurses, and comprehensively recommend the head nurses. Promote the professional development of the head nurse team

ObjectiveTo compare the differences in clinical characteristics between kidney deficiency and stasis obstruction syndrome and damp-heat stasis obstruction syndrome in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), thereby providing reference for clinical differentiation and treatment. MethodsThe clinical data of 2339 patients with AS were collected, including 1075 cases of kidney deficiency and stasis obstruction syndrome and 1264 cases of damp-heat stasis obstruction syndrome. The basic information including age, gender, course of disease, history of ophthalmia, family history and human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27) positive history, Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index (BASDAI) score, Bath ankylosing spondylitis functional index (BASFI) score, Bath ankylosing spondylitis measurement index (BASMI) score, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21 (DASS-21) score, single symptom score in terms of spinal pain, peripheral joint pain, tendon tenderness, morning stiffness degree and morning stiffness time, patient-reported outcomes including patient global assessment (PGA) score, chronic disease therapy function-fatigue scale (FACIT-F) score and night pain visual analog scale (VAS) score, laboratory indicators including serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and CT grading of sacroiliitis were measured and compared between groups. ResultsPatients with kidney deficiency and stasis obstruction syndrome were older and had a longer course of disease (P<0.01). The BASDAI, BASFI and BASMI scores of the patients with kidney deficiency and stasis obstruction syndrome were 3.84±1.79, 2.78±2.00 and 3.42±2.36, respectively, while those in patients with damp-heat stasis obstruction syndrome were 4.30±1.99, 3.43±2.12, and 2.92±1.76. The BASDAI score, BASFI score, PGA score, FACIT-F score, spinal pain score, peripheral arthralgia score, tendon tenderness score, morning stiffness degree score, depression score, anxiety score, and stress score in patients with damp-heat stasis obstruction syndrome were all higher than those with kidney deficiency and stasis obstruction syndrome, with longer duration of morning stiffness and higher CRP (P<0.05 or P<0.01). BASMI score and night pain VAS score were more higher in patients with kidney deficiency and stasis obstruction syndrome (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the ESR level and CT grading of the sacroiliac joint between the two groups (P>0.05). ConclusionAS patients with kidney deficiency and stasis obstruction syndrome have poorer spinal mobility, while those with damp-heat stasis obstruction syndrome have higher disease activity, poorer physical function, and are more prone to adverse psychological reactions.
