Objective:To investigate the acceptance of advance care planning and its influencing factors in heart failure patients.Methods:A total of 208 patients with heart failure were surveyed by general data questionnaires and advance care planning acceptance questionnaires.Results:The total score of advance care planning acceptance of heart failure patients was (44.26 ± 11.73), the score of feeling dimension was (13.67 ± 5.72), the score of attitude dimension was (30.59 ± 6.33). 53.4%(111/208) of patients were willing to accept the talking about advance care planning. Regression analysis results showed that education level, New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification, communication status with medical staff and whether they had received life-sustaining treatment were important factors influencing of the acceptance of advance care planning in patients with heart failure.Conclusion:Patients with heart failure had higher acceptance of advance care planning. In clinical work, it is necessary to strengthen the scientific popularization of advance care planning in patients with low education level, low NYHA grade and no exposure to life-sustaining treatment. And strengthen the daily communication with patients to prepare for the follow-up advance care planning related communication.

Objective To study the status quo of turnover intention in ICU nurses in He'nan province, and analyze the correlation between the turnover intention and nursing work environment. Methods A total of 645 ICU nurses in He'nan province were selected by convenience sampling method and investigated with a general information questionnaire, the Intention of Quitting Scale (IQS) and Nursing Work Environment Scale. SPSS 20.0 statistical software program was applied to analyze the data. Results Totally 645 questionnaires were released and recycled, with 635 effective ones, and the effective recycle rate was 98.4%. The total score of the IQS was (15.03±3.40). The total score of the Nursing Work Environment Scale was (110.52±23.02), of which three sub-scales of the the nursing work environment, including leadership and management, adequate human resources and basic guarantee, had the lower score. The scores of the general scale of IQS, IQS Ⅰ and IQS Ⅱwere negatively related with the general scale of nursing work environment and its each dimension (P<0.01). The IQS Ⅲ was negatively related with the dimension of leadership and management and basic guarantee (P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that education, ICU species, whether teaching, leadership and management and basic guarantee were the influence factors of the turnover intention, accounting for 23.9% of the variance. Conclusions The turnover intention of ICU nurses in He'nan province is at a high level. To reduce turnover intention, it is not only important to pay attention to individual characteristics of ICU nurses, but also to improve nursing work environment, especially leadership and management and basic guarantee.

Objective:To explore the effect of nurse-led multidisciplinary collaborative nutrition management on cancer patients.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, 106 cancer patients in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2020 were selected as the research objects. According to the admission time, the patients were divided into two groups. A total of 51 patients admitted from January to December 2019 were selected as the control group, while 55 patients admitted from January to December 2020 were selected as the research group. The control group was given routine nutrition intervention, while the research group was given nurse-led multidisciplinary nutrition management on the basis of the control group. Nutritional grading and Quality of Life Instruments for Cancer Patients-Core Module (EORTC QLQ-C30) scores before and after intervention were compared between the two groups. The target achievement of nutritional management and the occurrence of gastrointestinal adverse reactions were counted.Results:After intervention, nutrition of the research group was better than that of the control group and EORTC QLQ-C30 score was higher than that of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The achievement rate of nutrition management goals in the research group was 67.27% (37/55) , higher than 39.22% (20/51) in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The incidence of gastrointestinal adverse reactions in the research group was 3.64% (2/55) , lower than 17.65% (9/51) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The implementation of nurse-led multidisciplinary collaborative nutrition management in cancer patients can improve their nutritional status and quality of life, increase the rate of achieving nutritional management goals and reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal adverse reactions.

Objective:To explore applications of essential balm K-point stimulation on the swallowing rehabilitation in patients with minimally consciousness state, so as to provide reference for patients rehabilitation.Methods:This was a prospective randomized controlled study. A total of 60 minimally consciousness state patients were enrolled by convenience sampling method from Henan Provincial People Hospital from January to December 2021, who were divided into experimental group and control group according to the random number table method, with 30 cases in each group. Both groups received routine rehabilitation therapy, based on this, the control group was given routine K-point stimulation, the experimental group implemented essential balm K-point stimulation. Before and after 4 weeks of intervention, the Kubota water swallowing test and Coma Recovery Scale-revised (CRS-R) was used for assessment.Results:Before intervention, there was no significant difference in Kubota water swallowing test grade and CRS-R scores between two groups (both P>0.05). After 4-week intervention, Kubota water swallowing test Ⅰ-Ⅴ grade were 1, 6, 13, 7 and 3 cases in the control group, while 4, 12, 8, 3 and 3 cases in the experimental group, the difference was statistically significant ( Z = 2.09, P<0.05); the scores of oral motor/verbal function scale were (2.60 ± 1.16) in the experimental group, higher than in the control group (1.90 ± 0.32), the difference was statistically significant ( t = 2.18, P<0.05). Conclusions:Essential balm K-point stimulation can effectively promote swallowing function of patients with minimally consciousness state, and improve patient′s oral motor function.

Objective:To explore the effect of the discharge preparation plan based on community linkage in the out-of-hospital continuous nursing of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients.Methods:From March 2019 to March 2020, convenience sampling was used to select 206 COPD patients hospitalized in the Respiratory Department of Henan Provincial People's Hospital. The patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group, with 103 cases in each group. The control group received routine management of COPD, and the observation group implemented a community-linked discharge preparation plan on the basis of the control group, and carried out a six-month intervention. The COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score, Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC) score, body mass index, degree of airflow obstruction, dyspnea and exercise capacity (BODE) index, and the patient readmission rate during the intervention period were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention.Results:After the intervention, the item scores and total scores of the CAT of the observation group were lower than those of the control group. Except for cough and sputum, the differences in the other items and total scores were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The item scores and total scores of the CAT of the observation group after intervention were lower than those before intervention, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The dimension scores and total score of the PACIC of the observation group after the intervention were higher than those before the intervention, and were higher than those of the control group after the intervention, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The BODE index score of the observation group after intervention was lower than that of the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The readmission rate in the observation group within six months was 13.59% (14/103) , which was lower than 31.07% (32/103) in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ 2=9.068, P=0.003) . Conclusions:The discharge preparation plan based on community linkage can improve the quality of life and lung function of COPD patients, increase the patient's recognition of chronic disease management, reduce the rate of hospital readmission, and achieve the overall quality improvement in continuous nursing of patients.
