Objective:To investigate the training needs of nursing students during their practice in the emergency department, and to provide evidence for further improvement and development of the training.Methods:A total of 279 nursing students from 24 hospitals in Guangdong Province and 4 undergraduate universities running nursing specialty were investigated by convenience sampling. The contents of the questionnaire included general information and emergency training needs, including teaching contents and teaching methods.Results:Among the surveyed nursing students, 97.13% (271 students) believed it was very necessary to learn first aid knowledge and skills, and 85.66% (239 students) were very interested in learning first aid knowledge and skills. The score of "acute and critical skills" in the emergency training needs was the highest (88.91 points), and the score of "department rules and regulations" was the lowest (76.08 points). Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in gender, willingness to engage in nursing work in the future, interest in learning first aid knowledge and willingness to learn first aid knowledge independently by network ( P < 0.05). The three teaching methods ranked the highest in the survey of emergency teaching methods were situational teaching, problem-based learning and action teaching method. Conclusion:Nursing students have a strong demand for training during the emergency internship. Clinical nursing administrators and educators should combine the internship demand of nursing students and the teaching outline of medical colleges to carry out the training arrangement during the emergency practice, so as to meet the learning needs of nursing students during the emergency practice.

Objective:To develop a novel posterior circulation score (PCS) based on pretreatment diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for predicting futile recanalization (FR) of acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) after endovascular therapy (EVT).Methods:A prospectively registered consecutive cohort of BAO patients treated with EVT in Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University during a six-year period was reviewed. This novel DWI-based PCS (DWI-PCS) was calculated according to the characteristics of acute infarction at four sites (pons, midbrain, thalamus and cerebellum), with a normal score of 0 point and a full score of 16 points. FR was defined as the occurrence of poor outcome (modified Rankin Scale score>3) at 90 days despite successful recanalization (modified Thrombolysis In Cerebral Infarction ≥ 2b) at final angiogram after EVT. The independent association of DWI-PCS with FR was evaluated by multivariable Logistic regression, and the predictive discrimination of DWI-PCS was measured by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Additionally, the effects of DWI-PCS on FR in different subgroups stratified by age, time window, stroke severity and etiology were explored.Results:Of 109 patients in this study, 48 (44.0%) suffered from FR. The multivariable Logistic analysis showed that DWI-PCS was significantly associated with FR (adjusted OR=1.31, 95% CI 1.07-1.62, P=0.01). The ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the area under the curve of DWI-PCS for predicting FR was 0.74 (95% CI 0.65-0.83), and the optimal cut-off value was ≥ 3 points (sensitivity 0.75, specificity 0.66, accuracy 0.70). Finally, the effects of DWI-PCS on FR were not found to be different across all subgroups ( P>0.10 for all interactions). Conclusions:The novel DWI-PCS may be a valid and reliable predictor of FR in BAO patients treated with EVT. Nevertheless, external validation with blinded outcome is still needed to confirm its performance before clinical application.

Objective:To explore the application effect of dynamic case scenario simulation combined with video playback in the teaching of trauma emergency for nursing interns.Methods:A total of 80 nursing interns who had internship in the Department of Emergency, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from December 2017 to November 2018 were recruited in the study, and they were randomly divided into experimental group and control group (40 nurses per group). The dynamic case scenario simulation combined with video playback method was applied in the experimental group, and the traditional teaching method was used in the control group. Both groups had the same teaching hours (8 class hours) and trauma practice outline. Trauma theoretical knowledge and operational skills of the two groups were assessed, and the scores of nursing students in the two groups, teaching satisfaction and teaching evaluation in the experimental group were analyzed. SPSS 19.0 was used for t test. Results:The trauma theoretical knowledge assessment results and clinical operation skills assessment scores of control group were (73.40±7.11) points and (78.69±8.71) points, respectively, and those of experimental group were (78.09±6.84) points and (85.34±6.43) points respectively, with a statistical difference between the two groups ( P<0.05). The overall satisfaction of nursing students in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group [(98.34±2.19) vs. (94.94±2.58), P<0.01]. Most of nursing students (97.5%, 39/40) in the experimental group hoped to apply dynamic case scenario simulation combined with video playback method in the future. Conclusion:The dynamic case scenario simulation combined video playback method could enhance the trauma emergency ability of the nursing interns and improve the teaching satisfaction and teaching effect.
