Objective To analyze data of fails among oncology inpatients from 2014 to 2015,and to explore the effects of the continuous quality improvement on management of falls among oncology inpatients.Methods According to data of falls among oncology inpatients in 2014,continuous quality improvement was carried out in prevention of falls,including health education,risk assessment process of falls and inter-department cooperation.Results One year after applying the continuous quality improvement for management of falls,the number and the rate of falls among oncology inpatients in the year of 2015 (Number=25,Rate=0.027‰) were significantly lower than those in 2014(Number=55,Rate=0.065‰,x2=15.195,P＜0.001).Conclusion Improvement of management protocol for falls can effectively reduce the rate of falls among oncology inpatients and ensure patient safety.

The international NGOs have been playing an important role in global health governance, and also represent a channel for countries to exert international influence. However, the Chinese NGOs are not actively in-volved in global health so far. This purpose of this paper is to analyze and show the picture of the social and political context of NGOs in China, to learn from the experience of emerging global health-related NGOs through describing their development, provides a strategy for China to support NGO participation in the global health governance, and to put forward recommendation on how to develop China’s global health NGOs based on experiences from international counterparts. The results of this paper found that China has a better international environment, which is a beneficial opportunity for the country to engage in global health governance. Domestic social NGOs are developing progressive-ly, while they are still being harnessed by political safety considerations, for example being affiliated to public admin-istrative system and policy orientation development. However, this would possibly not obstruct health-related NGOs for its minimal political relevance as it is oriented at professionalism, i. e. specialization, public service attributes and relevance to public governance. Therefore, health-related NGOs can have more support from governments since their number is relatively small, with less foundation ( they are undeveloped) and less participation in international cooper-ation ( they lack international involvement) . International experience indicates that supports from governmental enti-ties represent a backbone of the emerging institutions in the participation into the global health programs. The author suggests that the Chinese government should establish a specific global health development strategy of “prioritizing and improving the whole” and setting up the global development strategy in the county. The government should attach more importance to the government-owned and affiliated and private-capital-supported (social elites) NGOs, guide and subsidize them to the international stage, to engage intensely in global health.

The global health system is undergoing dramatic reforms, which would further bring about signifi-cant changes in key global health stakeholders. As a key actor and decision maker in global health system, NGO owns extensive experiences in global health governance and can provide a systematic experience for China’s participa-tion in global health decision-making as a reference model. This paper aimed at studying the roles of NGOs in the field of global health, the roles which can be summarized in four aspects of advocacy, implementation, support, and community mobilization. In addition, NGOs also developed some potential risks and unexpected impacts on global health governance. As represented by some typical examples, there occurred conflicts of interests between some NGOs and the local governments. A number of local health systems suffered from a considerable brain drain of health personnel to NGOs, especially the health officials and technical staff, which weakened the country’s health workforce and system. The financing model driven by external donors could weaken the influences and capacity of local govern-ments on health planning. As a key member involved in global health, we that suggested China and Chinese NGOs should strategically and rationally borrow their experiences and try to avoid these risks.

The International Foundations have invested large sums of funds to participate in global health gov-ernance and greatly contributed to the promotion of global health. The foundations have extensive experience in the management of global health projects. Based on the nature of the foundation and its structure in the government, this paper compares the management methods of project management, project selection, project planning, project imple-mentation, project follow-up, project evaluation and project completion in two stages of the Gates Foundation and Global Fund. It summarizes the project management features, provided references for China participating in global health governance.

NGOs play an important role in global health governance, and have become the key partners of World Health Organization ( WHO) , European and American governments. The goal of the sustainable development of the United Nations also proposes to strengthen NGOs as global health governance partners. Taking WHO, the Unit-ed States and Britain as case examples, this study reviewed the NGOs positioning and cooperation in their global health strategies. The results found that these entities explicitly define the roles of NGOs and strengthen cooperation in their global health strategies to expand their influence in the field of global health. Results also found that WHO, US and UK have given NGOs a clear positioning, that is, they have strengthened the mutual cooperation ( partner-ships) in the same way of expanding their influence in the field of global health for China’s global health strategy de-velopment referred to those NGOs. Therefore, China should incorporate NGOs into the global health strategy, estab-lish NGOs management and cooperation mechanism and define their roles and make it an important complement to global health. China should also strictly select international NGOs to cooperate with and strive to nurture and support Chinese NGOs to participate in global health programs set by the Government, formulate the cooperation list and neg-ative list for NGOs, and at the same time strengthen the supervision and audit to avoid possible risks of NGOs.

Objective To perfect the prescription knowledge discovery methods; To discover the key factors affecting the robustness of prescription therapeutic model as well as improve its recognition capability.Methods Expanded knowledge base and improved design of Chinese Medicine Prescriptions Intelligence Analytic System (CPIAS) were proposed, such as the establishment of the heuristic filtering rules of efficacy-syndrome relationship, knowledge table of efficacy-syndrome element relationship, identification of efficacy-syndrome element relationship, and syndrome element-syndrome relationship. In addition, quantitative data were calculated by CPIAS. Prescription therapeutic modeling experiments on the Chinese medicine prescriptions system were conducted based on support vector machine (CPSVM), which was also used to analyze the learning outcomes.Results Using expanded knowledge base and improved calculation results can significantly promote learning abilities of CPSVM.Conclusion Screening of efficacies, sorting of symptoms, and collection of syndrome elements are the key factors affecting the quality of prescription therapeutic model.

Objective To explore the relationship between resilience and coping style of cardiac valvular postoperative patients with cardiopulmonary bypass.Methods A total of 208 cardiac valvular postoperative patients with cardiopulmonary bypass were recruited from 4 cardiovascular surgery in Guangdong and were investigated with the self-designed questionnaire,Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC),Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ).Results The average score of resilience in cardiac valvular postoperative patients with cardiopulmonary bypass was (55.38±10.63)points.The average score of tenacity,strength and optimism were (28.21 ±5.87)points,(18.21 ±4.02)and (8.96± 1.85)points respectively.The average score of coping style of confrontation,avoidance and acceptance-resignation were(18.13±3.38),(16.95±1.75)and (9.24±2.47)points respectively.All the sub-scores of the resilience were positively correlated with confrontation,and all the sub-scores of the resilience were negatively correlated with avoidance and acceptance-resignation.Conclusions There is a certain degree of correlation between resilience and copping style of cardiac valvular postoperative patients with cardiopulmonary bypass.Nurses should enhance resilience of the patients,guide the patients to adopt effective coping styles,to promote disease rehabilitation and improve the quality of life.

Objective To investigate the current status of uncertainty in illness in cardiac valvular surgery patients with cardiopulmonary bypass and analyze its influential factor,and provide reference for effective intervention.Methods A total of 208 cardiac valvular surgery patients with cardiopulmonary bypass were recruited from 4 cardiovascular surgery in Guangdong and were investigated with the self-designed questionnaire,Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale (MUIS),Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC),Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ),in the preoperative day and the day before discharge.The data were analyzed by single-factor and multiple-factor analysis.Results The average score of uncertainty in illness in cardiac valvular surgery patients with cardiopulmonary bypass was 99.09±11.41,and 92.3％ of patients got a moderate uncertainty in illness level in the preoperative day.The average score of uncertainty in illness in the patients was 90.33± 10.32,and 91.8％ of patients got a moderate uncertainty in illness level in the day before discharge.Multiple linear regression indicated that,age,cardiac valvular disease types,number of cardiac valvular surgery,optimism and yield were the protective factors of uncertainty in illness level.Average monthly household income,self-improvement,scores of resilience and confront coping were the risk factors of uncertainty in illness level.Conclusion The level of uncertainty in illness in cardiac valvular surgery patients with cardiopulmonary bypass is moderate.Age,average monthly household income,cardiac valvular disease types,number of cardiac valvular surgery,resilience and coping style are factors influencing uncertainty in illness level of patients.

Non-governmental organizations ( NGOs) are playing an increasingly significant role in global health governance. This study selected ten key NGOs that play an important role in global health affairs and summarized the tools employed by NGOs participating in global health governance, including nine dimensions:“Generating informa-tion and evidence/intelligence”, “Cooperation ( Partnerships )”, “Participation”, “Consultation”, “Transparen-cy”,“Organizational adequacy/system design”, “Formulating policy / strategic direction”, “Responsibility” and“Regulation”. Four types of NGOs including Operational, Supportive, Advocacy and Integrated ones presented com-monness and their priorities in the selection of tools to participate in global health governance. Meanwhile, China should strive to nurture local NGOs, which should pay attention to“Transparency”,“Participation” and“Cooperation ( Partnerships)”.
