The quality of clinical practice teaching is an important factor affecting the quality of intensive care unit (ICU) specialist nurse training. We investigated the current situation of ICU specialist nurse training and teaching quality evaluation in China and around the world. There are several aspects that can be improved in the evaluation of the quality of clinical practice teaching for ICU specialist nurses in China. Result-oriented summative evaluation is mainly used in China, and there are few studies on the quality evaluation of clinical practice teaching process. Effective feedback mechanism has not been established for teaching quality evaluation. There is a lack of systematic theoretical guidance and few studies have been conducted on the formation of the quality of clinical practice teaching and the affecting factors. Therefore, there is an urgent need to construct a set of scientific and practical clinical practice teaching quality evaluation system for ICU specialist nurses under the guidance of systematic theory and in line with China's national conditions. We should formulate reasonable and uniform quality evaluation standards for clinical practice teaching, strengthen the quality evaluation of the training process on the basis of result-oriented quality evaluation. Moreover, the needs of all parties in the evaluation system should be comprehensively evaluated to improve the quality of clinical practice teaching.

The thyroid gland is an endocrine organ sensitive to ionizing radiation. Long term exposure to low dose radiation (LDR) among radiation workers in work may lead to thyroid dysfunction or the formation of thyroid nodules. The influencing factors of these outcomes are various and multifaceted, including but not limited to environmental factors (iodine intake levels), occupational factors (length of service, personal dose), and individual factors (gender, age, smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity, blood pressure, blood glucose). Currently, there is no consensus on the specific trends of thyroid nodule development and thyroid function indicators in radiation workers caused by long-term LDR exposure. Therefore, molecular epidemiological investigations should be conducted to explore its pathogenesis in the future, and long-term epidemiological investigations with multiple centers and large samples can be conducted to further verify existing findings. Furthermore, strengthening occupational health training of radiation workers and standardizing personal dose measurement are beneficial for comprehensive prevention of thyroid diseases, and ensuring occupational health of radiation workers.
