Objective:To explore the effect of online group positive psychological intervention on the professional quality of life and professional values of oncology nurses.Methods:From November 2020 to March 2021, 100 oncology nurses from Peking University Cancer Hospital were selected as the study subjects. The nurses were divided into intervention group (50 cases) and control group (50 cases) by random number table. The control group received routine intervention, and the intervention group received online group intervention with the theme of "happy work" on the basis of the control group. The professional quality of life and professional values of the two groups of nurses were compared before, immediately after, one month and three months after the intervention.Results:Immediately after intervention, the score of compassion satisfaction in the intervention group was higher than that in the control group and before intervention, and the score of burnout was lower than that in the control group and before intervention. One month after the intervention, the score of compassion satisfaction in the intervention group was higher than that in the control group and before intervention. Three months after the intervention, the score of professional values in the intervention group was higher than that before intervention. The above differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Online group positive psychological intervention can improve the professional quality of life of oncology nurses in a short time, and has an effect on promoting professional values.

Objective:To retrieve and analyze the status quo and hotspots of death anxiety research, and provide directions for further research in death anxiety.Methods:Articles concerning death anxiety in their titles, keywords and abstracts published up to July 10, 2020 in core journals from CNKI were systematically retrieved. The retrieved results were analyzed bibliometrically using the bibliographic information co-occurrence analysis system (Bicomb) , including year of publication, source journal, keywords, and authors, etc. The high-frequency words were extracted by calculation and customization, and a word-part matrix was derived. The word-part matrix was clustered with GCLUTO 1.0 software, and the current status and research hotspots were derived from the specific articles.Results:A total of 79 death anxiety-related papers were published, with 19 key words appearing ≥ 3 times. Four research hotspots of death anxiety were obtained through analysis: death anxiety of nursing staff, death anxiety of terminal patients, development and adaptation of death anxiety scale, and death anxiety and mental health.Conclusions:Death anxiety research has entered the developmental stage; studies are mostly conducted among the aged and caregivers with easily accessible samples; the types of studies are mainly empirical studies and cross-sectional surveys. In the future, we may further break through the limitation of sample accessibility, strengthen cooperation and communication between authors and institutions, and try to conduct multi-center, large-sample, effective intervention studies to alleviate death anxiety and improve the quality of caregiving.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of medical coping style on psychological resilience and death anxiety in cancer patients.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 330 inpatients from 2 cancer hospitals in Beijing were selected as the research objects from June to August 2020. The general information questionnaire, Chinese Version of Templer 's Death Anxiety Scale (C-T-DAS) , Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) were used to investigate them. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the relationship between death anxiety, medical coping style and psychological resilience in cancer patients. AMOS 21.0 was used to establish the structural equation model and verify the mediation effect. A total of 330 questionnaires were sent out in this study, and 302 were effectively received, with the effective recovery of 91.5%. Results:The score of Chinese Version of Templer's Death Anxiety Scale for 302 cancer patients was (40.12±10.23) , the score of Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale was (70.97±13.43) and the scores of confrontation, avoidance and resighation dimension of Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire were (18.80 ±3.65) , (15.64±3.16) and (8.75±2.84) . The psychological resilience of cancer patients was negatively correlated with death anxiety and the resignation dimension in medical coping styles ( P<0.01) , and positively correlated with the facing and avoiding dimensions in medical coping styles ( P<0.05) . The face and yield dimensions in the medical coping style of cancer patients were positively correlated with death anxiety ( P<0.05) . Medical coping styles played a partial mediating role between psychological resilience and death anxiety, and the mediating effect accounted for 32.47% of the total effect. Conclusions:Clinical medical staff should pay attention to the death anxiety of cancer patients, improve their psychological resilience and encourage patients to actively cope with the disease, so as to reduce their death anxiety level and promote mental health.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of professional values on the stress overload and professional quality of life in oncology nurses.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 544 oncology nurses from 2 cancer hospitals in Beijing were selected as the research objects. General data questionnaire, Stress Overload Scale (SOS) , The Nurses Professional Values Scale-Revised (NPVSR) , revised version of Nurses Professional Values Scale and Chinese version of Professional Quality of Life Scale were used for questionnaire survey and correlation analysis of the data. AMOS 21.0 software was used to establish a structural equation model to verify the mediating effect.Results:The stress overload score of oncology nurses was 48.00 (36.00, 62.00) , and the professional values score was 102.00 (86.25, 110.00) . The compassion satisfaction score for professional quality of life was 36.00 (31.00, 41.00) , the burnout score was 22.00 (17.00, 26.00) , and the secondary traumatic stress score was 22.00 (19.00, 26.00) . The stress overload of oncology nurses was negatively correlated with professional values, negatively correlated with compassion satisfaction, and positively correlated with job burnout and secondary traumatic stress ( P<0.05) . Structural equation fitting index ( CMIF/ DF) was 0.430, goodness of fit index ( GFI) was 1.000, adjusted goodness of fit index ( AGFI) was 0.995 and root mean square error of approximation ( RMSEA) was 0.000. The stress overload and professional values of oncology nurses had a direct predictive effect on their professional quality of life. The stress overload was mediated by professional values, which indirectly affected compassion satisfaction and job burnout. Conclusions:Nursing managers can enhance their professional values and improve their professional quality of life by reducing the stress overload on oncology nurses.

Objective:To understand the attitude and knowledge on cancer pain management among oncology department nurses and to explore their influencing factors so as to provide a basis for developing targeted pain training projects.Methods:From April to June 2018, we investigated 291 oncology department nurses from 21 provinces, 4 municipalities directly under the central government and 4 autonomous regions on the spot with the self-designed information questionnaire and the Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain (KASRP) by convenience sampling.Results:A total of 276 valid questionnaires were collected. Among 276 nurses, the accuracy rate of KASRP was (59.2±11.0) % ranged from 31.7% to 85.4%. There were statistical differences in the accuracy rates of KASRP among nurses with different areas, years working in cancer nursing, whether attended the pain training, whether participated in cancer pain management practice and monthly number of patients with cancer pain nursing provided by nurses ( P<0.05) . Correlation analysis showed that the age of nurses had a positive correlation with the score of KASRP ( r=0.237, P<0.001) . Multiple linear regression analysis proved that the influencing factors of attitude and knowledge on cancer pain management of nurses included the age of nurses, attending pain management practice, participating in the pain training ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Among oncology department nurses in China, there are misunderstandings in attitudes on cancer pain management, and their related knowledge was insufficient which influenced by many factors. On the one hand, it points out the importance and urgency for clinical nurses to develop targeted pain management pain. On the other hand, we should provide innovative training methods and combine pain management practice tightly to effectively improve attitude and knowledge on cancer pain management among of nurses so as to make nurses play an important role well in cancer pain management.
