Objective:To investigate the intention to obtain disease related information and its influencing factors among the elderly at their end-of-life stage.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 414 elderly people aged ≥60 in 7 long-term residential care facilities and 15 communities in the central urban area of Fuzhou using the late-life care preference questionnaire from October 2016 to June 2017. Univariate analysis, multiple linear regression analysis and ordered multi-classification logistic regression analysis were used to identify information preference of the disease-related information and influencing factors among the elderly.Results:The level of disease-related information needs of the elderly was scored (17.1±4.9); 48.8% (202/414) preferred detailed or maximum information; 30.7% (127/414) wanted selective and partial information; 20.5% (85/414) did not want to know any information. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, education, and whether or not they had received or seen other life-sustaining treatments were the main factors affecting the level of disease-related information needs (standardized regression coefficients were -0.141, 0.116, 0.115, all P<0.05); ordered multi-classification logistic regression analysis showed that age (compared with 60-69 years old, 70-79 years old: OR=0.544, 95% CI: 0.310-0.957; 80-89 years old: OR=0.526, 95% CI: 0.289-0.956), education level (compared with primary school and below, college or above: OR=2.166, 95% CI: 1.093-4.290), main sources of living expenses (compared with other allowance, family support: OR=7.303, 95% CI: 1.157-46.108, pension: OR=9.288, 95% CI: 1.502-57.415; provident fund scheme/saving: OR=15.676, 95% CI: 2.122-115.793), whether or not they had received or seen other life-sustaining treatments (compared with yes, OR=1.985, 95% CI: 1.150-3.425) were the main factors affecting the level of disease-related information needs. Conclusions:Most of the elderly prefer to know disease-related information. Age, educational level, main sources of living expenses and whether or not they had received or seen other life-sustaining treatments are the main influencing factors.

Objective:To study the application of flipped classroom teaching mode in nursing teaching of Gastroenterology Department and its influence on the mastery of nursing theory and professional skills of nursing students.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 136 nursing students who took internship Gastroenterology Department of Shanxi Provincial People's Hospital from July 2018 to January 2020 were selected. From July 2019 to January 2020, 69 nursing students were selected as the experimental group, and they were given flipped classroom teaching mode. From July 2018 to January 2019, 67 nursing students were set as the control group, and they were given the traditional teaching mode. The nursing theory, professional skills and comprehensive ability of nursing students and their evaluation of the teaching quality and satisfaction were observed and compared between the two groups.Results:The scores of after-department nursing theory and professional skills of nursing students in the experimental group were respectively (88.45±7.12) and (92.78±3.03) , which were higher than (80.32±8.56) and (88.15±3.62) of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=5.921, 7.952; P<0.05) . Scores of nursing consultation, physical examination, diagnosis, measures, health education, humanistic care, organizational efficiency and overall evaluation of the experimental group were respectively (6.21±1.25) , (6.45±1.03) , (6.53±1.21) , (6.59±1.28) , (6.98±1.12) , (6.59±1.21) , (6.30±1.18) and (7.01±1.16) , higher than (5.37±1.59) , (5.58±1.32) , (5.29±1.64) , (5.62±1.71) , (6.03±1.57) , (5.70±1.42) , (5.21±1.72) and (6.08±1.65) of the control group ( t=3.370, 4.216, 4.940, 3.686, 4.001, 3.867 , 4.246, 3.746; P<0.05) . The scores of teaching effect, teaching content and teaching method in experimental group were respectively (21.65±1.19) , (20.27±1.80) and (21.43±1.25) , which were higher than (19.13±1.28) , (18.81±2.79) and (19.47±1.21) in control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=11.676, 3.575, 9.112; P<0.05) . The satisfaction of the nursing students in the experimental group on theoretical knowledge, learning interest, practical skills, self-study ability and actual problem-solving ability were respectively 94.03%, 97.01%, 95.52%, 91.04% and 92.54%, which were higher than 81.25%, 85.94%, 84.38%, 78.13%, 79.69% in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (χ 2=4.986, 5.222, 4.550, 4.224, 4.560; P<0.05) . Conclusions:The application of the flipped classroom teaching mode in the nursing teaching of Gastroenterology Department helps nursing students to master nursing theory and professional skills and improve the quality of teaching.
