Objective To investigate the knowledge,attitude and practice (KAP) of blood glucose monitoring and management among non-diabetes specialized nurses in a tertiary hospital of Xiamen,and provide basis for the late intervention.Methods With convenient sampling method,409 non-diabetes specialized nurses from a tertiary hospital of Xiamen were selected as the research object,and they were investigated by self-designed blood sugar monitoring and nursing KAP questionnaire.Results The score of knowledge related to blood sugar monitoring management was (6.52±1.39);the score of attitude related to blood sugar monitoring management was (45.94±4.18);the score of practice related to blood sugar monitoring management was (56.16±6.37);the attitude related to blood glucose monitoring management of non-diabetes specialized nurses was positively correlated with their practice (r=0.119,P=0.016);and nurses' practice was also positively correlated with their knowledge (r=0.190,P=0.027). Among 409 nurses,the percentage of nurses' self-rating mastery degree,general mastery degree,less familiar and unfamiliar in blood sugar management knowledge were 54.8%,37.9%,4.4 and 0.5% %,and only 2.4% of nurses thought they completely master the knowledge. 85.5% of nurses had received training,training organized by nursing department and training in department which includes diabetes link nurses were dominant,and they were 64.1% and 31.5%. The training method was single (72.6%). Theoretical teaching in hospital was still the most popular way,and it accounted for 78.5%. By multiple linear regression analysis,service year was the influencing factors of blood sugar monitoring management. ConclusionsThe knowledge that non-diabetes specialist nurses master is not optimistic,and the level of KAP in blood sugar monitoring still needs to be improved,while full standardization and diversity training are effective methods.

Infantile epileptic spasm syndrome(IESS)is a new concept proposed recently.IESS is a unique and age-specific refractory epilepsy syndrome.The recent advances in molecular biology,neuroimmunol-ogy and the in-depth study of anti-epileptic mechanism in antiepileptic drugs have led to the achievements in the definition and treatment of infantile epileptic spasm.At present,the use of traditional antiepileptic drugs is de-creasing,while the use of new antiepileptic drugs is increasing.In this paper,based on the relevant literature in recent years,the authors discuss the pathogenesis,epidemiology,etiology,diagnosis,treatment,therapeutic drugs,clinical progress,efficacy,and safety of infantile epileptic spasm,hoping to introduce the latest status in research and achievements of IESS.
