Objective To investigate the job burnout status of nurses in a third-grade and A-level general hospital in Zhengzhou,and analyze the relationship between job burnout and presenteeism.Methods 300 nurses were surveyed with questionnaires by convenience sampling,including nurses' demographic data,Nurse Job Burnout Scale and Work Limitations Questionnaire.Results The scores in three dimensions of job burnout of nurses were respectively EE (25.92±11.56) points,DP (10.63±6.82) points,and PA(26.30±9.11) points.The job burnout rate in nurses was 76.2％,the rates of low,moderate,and high degree of burnout were respectively 30.4％,28.7％,and 17.4％.The scores of presenteeism for low,moderate,and high degree of work limitations were respectively (2.29±1.60)points,(5.90±3.03)points,(7.89±3.12)points.Conclusions Nurses' burnout can results in presenteeism.The more serious job burnout is,the more critical the presenteeism is.

Objective Currently, there are few articles about kinesiophobia in patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in China.This study aims to investigate the incidence of kinesiophobia and its influencing factors in TKA patient, and provide evidence for the intervention of kinesiophobia.Methods A total of 298 TKA patients from our hospital were investigated by general information questionnaire, Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK), Knee Self-Efficacy Scales, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and Social Support Rating Scale.Single-factor analysis and logistic regression analysis were conducted to explore influencing factors.Results The score of TSK was 38.50±13.52, and 31.88% of TKA patients reported kinesiophobia.Logistic regression analysis showed that duration of pain (OR=5.546, 95%CI: 2.143-14.353), education level (OR=0.145, 95%CI: 0.067-0.314), self efficacy(OR=0.606, 95%CI: 0.470-0.780), positive response (OR=0.784, 95%CI: 0.683-0.900), objective support (OR=0.807, 95%CI: 0.691-0.943) and utilization of social support (OR=0.507, 95%CI: 0.461-0.705) were factors influencing kinesiophobia in TKA patients.Conclusion Attention should be paid to the kinesiophobia in TKA patients, especially those influencing factors including duration of pain, education level, and objective support.Health care providers should encourage early stage rehabilitation exercise to improve the postoperative knee function of TKA patients.

BACKGROUND:Early rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can help the rapid functional recovery of knee,but some patients are fear of moving and refuse to do exercising because of kinesiophobia,thereby delaying functional recovery.Foreign study has confirmed that patients with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can effectively alleviate kinesiophobia,but no related studies have been reported in China.OBJECTIVE:To explore the effectiveness of CBT on patients with kinesiophobia after TKA.METHODS:108 patients with kinesiophobia after TKA were recruited from Department of Orthopedics,the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University,China between March 2014 and January 2015,and were then equivalently randomized into experimental and control groups using random number table.Both groups were subjected to conventional treatment,while the experimental group received extra CBT.The scores of Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia and American Knee Society were evaluated immediately,1,3,and 6 months after hospital discharge;the hospitalization time and total hospitalization expenditure were compared between two groups immediately after discharge.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The scores of Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group at different time points postoperatively (P ＜ 0.05).The scores of American Knee Society in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group at 3 and 6 months after discharge and kept on rising (P ＜ 0.01),but showed no significant difference at discharge and 1 month after discharge (P ＞ 0.05).(2) The hospitalization time and total hospitalization expenditure in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.01).(3) To conclude,CBT cannot only shorten the hospitalization time and total hospitalization expenditure,but also relieve kinesiophobia,which is conductive for functional recovery of the knee.

Objective: To compare the positive rate of microbiological examination in different clinical specimens, and to provide reliable basis for improving the quality of microbiological examination and management of nosocomial infection. Methods: A total of 2 028 bacterial culture specimens were collected from the hospitalized patients in the Second People's Hospital of Jinanfrom March 2016 to February 2018.The samples were examined by Micro Scan autoSCAN4 automatic bacteriological identification analyzer.Strictly according to the specification of the standard operation, the positive rates of microbial testingof all kinds of clinical specimens were statistically analyzed. Results: The positive rate of microbiological examination in 2 028 clinical specimens was 44.33%.The positive rate of microbiological examination in sputum was the highest(58.96%), followed by ophthalmic secretion(40.64%), eye contents(37.96%), urine(34.55%), blood(21.11%). Conclusion The positive rate of microbiological examination is different in different clinical specimens.The epidemiological situation of nosocomial infection can be understood by analyzing the microbiological examination of different clinical specimens in clinic.In order to provide a reliable basis for clinical prevention and treatment of nosocomial infection, and to further improve the positive rate of clinical microbiological examination, we should actively carry out improvement countermeasures against its influencing factors.
