ObjectiveTo investigate the status of job burnout of clinical nurses,and to analyze its relationship with self-efficacy and the environmental factors.MethodsMaslach Burnout Inventory,General Self-Efficacy Scale,Nursing Work Index-Revised and Nurses'Job Stressor Scale were used to investigate 239 clinical nurses from 2 tertiary first-class hospitals of Lianyungang City.Correlation and regression analysis were used to analyze the relationship between all the dimensions of nurse burnout,self-efficacy,professional nursing practice environment and job stressor.ResultsThe scores of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization were ( 23.95 ± 11.11 ) and (7.90 ± 6.58 ) respectively,indicating medium level of burnout.The score of decreased personal accomplishment was reverse coded,and the score was ( 27.51 ± 10.96),indicating a high level of burnout.Both work environment and self-efficacy were related to job burnout (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01 ).Environment played bigger roles in influencing emotional exhaustion and depersonalization,and self-efficacy influenced personal accomplishment more significantly.ConclusionMore attention should be paid to the improvement of nurses' self-efficacy and work environment in order ot reduce nurses'job burnout.

ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of time management disposition and academic self-efficacy on learning engagement among nursing baccalaureate degree students,and to establish a model of this influence. MethodsLearning engagement scale,the questionnaire of academic self-efficiency,and adolescence time management disposition scale were used to investigate a total of 467 nursing baccalaureate degree students. ResultsThe total score of learning engagement was (52.83±10.45).There were differences in learning among students in different grades and leaning motives,while the interaction of them was not difference in learning engagement.Both academic self-efficacy and time management disposition could positively influence learning engagement directly,and time management disposition could also indirectly influence learning engagement through the academic self-efficacy. ConclusionsThe educators should make efforts to improve time management ability and self-efficacy so as to strengthen the nursing baccalaureate degree students' learning engagement in colleges.

Objective To translate the English version of Nursing Activities Scale (NAS) into Chinese,and to test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of NAS.Methods A total of 520 nurses were tested by the Chinese version of NAS.SPSS17.0 and AMOS 17.0 were used to test the reliability and validity.Results The correlations between the items and total scale ranged from 0.232 to 0.732 (P＜0.01).Four factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis and they could explain 52.251％ of the total variance.The confirmatory factor analysis revealed a good model fit,and the fit indices were x2/df =1.145,GFI =0.962,AGFI =0.933,RMR =0.028,RMSEA =0.017,NFI =0.957,CFI =0.994.Conclusion Chinese version of NAS is reliable and valid,and can be used to assess the level of professional nursing practice.

Objective To study relationship between the level of serum ICAM,ALCAM,VCAM and PECAM-1 in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with acute cerebral infarction and its meaning.Methods From July 2014 to December 2015,60 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with acute cerebral infarction were chosen as the research object.They were divided into three groups according to severity of atherosclerosis:no plaque in 11 cases,22 cases of stable plaques and unstable plaque 27 cases.40 cases with acute cerebral infarction patients and 40 cases of patients with type 2 diabetes were selected as a disease control;and other 40 healthy subjects were selected as healthy controls.ELISA were used to detect ICAM,ALCAM,VCAM and PECAM 1 level.Neural function evaluation was made by the U.S national institutes of health stroke scale (NIHSS).Results The ICAM,ALCAM,VCAM,PECAM 1 level in diabetic cerebral infarction group were higher than the other three groups,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05),while those of cerebral infarction group and diabetes group were higher than the control group,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05),and those of cerebral infarction group and diabetes group has no statistical significance (P＞0.05).NIHSS score of diabetic cerebral infarction patients was (7.39 ± 1.72),which was higher than that of patients with cerebral infarction group (5.33 ± 1.49),the difference was statistically significant (t=4.376,P =0.019,P＜0.05).The serum ICAM,ALCAM,VCAM,PECAM 1 level of diabetic cerebral infarction patients was a positively correlated with NIHSS score (r=0.559,P=0.007;r=0.619,P=0.000;r=0.421,P=0.018;r=0.451,P=0.007).With diabetic cerebral infarction is aggravating,the severity of carotid plaques in patients with serum ICAM,ALCAM,VCAM,PECAM-1 level is on the rise (P＜0.05).Conclusion ICAM,ALCAM,VCAM,PECAM-1 levels in peripheral blood serum of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with acute cerebral infarction have an abnormal increase,and ICAM,ALCAM,VCAM,PECAM-1 level is closely related to the neurologic deficits and the severity of carotid artery plaque of type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with acute cerebral infarction patients.
