Objective To investigate the effect of transitional care on postpartum negative mood for puerpera. Methods One hundred sixty eligible puerperas were recruited between January 2013 and October 2014. By order of hospitalization, participants were randomly assigned into two groups. The control group (80 cases) received routine care. The study group received transitional care which consisted of predischarge assessment, structured home visits and telephone follow-ups, psychological rehabilitation group activities, phone and internet consulting services within six months after discharge. Screenings of predischarge depression and anxiety symptoms of the study group were done by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Evaluations of depression and anxiety symptoms of two groups were done by Edinburgh postnatal depression scale (EPDS) and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)on postpartum forty-two days and six months. Results There were no differences in demographics, maternal indicators and completion of follow-up between groups (P > 0.05). On postpartum forty-two days, the study group had significantly better depression and anxiety scores (P < 0.05), the depression and anxiety scores of study group were 7.71 ± 2.61and 44.3 ± 6.1, those of control group were 8.31 ± 2.72 and 47.6 ± 5.4. There were no differences in the incidences of depression and anxiety between the two groups (P>0.05). On postpartum six months, the study group had significantly better depression and anxiety scores, less incidences of depression and anxiety than the control group (P<0.05). The depression and anxiety scores of the study
group were 7.13±2.52 and 42.6±6.0, those of control group were 8.87±2.66 and 48.8±5.9. The incidences of depression and anxiety of study group were 6.4%(5/78)and 7.7%(6/78), those of control group were both 26.0%(20/77). Analysis of multiple linear regression suggested that age, education level and family income would affect transitional care intervention on postpartum depression. Conclusions This study established a nurse-led transitional care model which selected the gynecology and obstetrics professional nurse as advanced practice nurse. Results demonstrated that transitional care was effective on improving maternal postpartum depression and anxiety.

Objective: To test applicability of the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) in different age groups in urban China, and to develop age norms. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the CES-D was administrated to 16047 community participants with average age of (37.7±21.3) years (age ranged 11~100) in 21 provinces, who were as the norming sample. Criterion validity was tested in 349 psychiatric patients with average age of (32.0±12.1) years (age ranged 16~81) in 4 cities. A subsample (199 workers, 100 col-lege students, and 30 teachers in Beijing, Dongguan, and Baotou) was drawn from the national sample to provide 8 week interval test-retest reliability. Results: The Cronbach α was 0.90 for the scale, and 0.68~0.86 for its fac-tors. The 8 week interval test-retest correlation was 0.49 for the scale (P <0.01) and 0.39~0.51 for factors (P<0.01) . The result of confirmatory factor analysis supported the original 4-factor structure (RMSEA=0.057, CFI =0.976, GFI=0.948) . Patients scored higher than community sample [(21.72±13.39 ) vs.(13.24±10.33),P <0.01], and depression patients scored the highest [(27.82±14.42), P<0.01] . Age difference was signifi-cant. Age groups over 60-year-old scored higher than all the other age groups under 60-year-old (P<0.01). Con-clusion: The Chinese version of CES-D shows good refiability and validity across all ages in urban population-

Objective To investigate the effect of bowel preparation before colonoscopy and its influencing factors. Methods A total of 283 patients with colonoscopy were recruited by convenience sampling method. They were investigated with basic information questionnaire of bowel preparation and their intestinal cleanliness were assessed by the Ottawa Assessment Scale. The status of bowel preparation and it′s influenced factors were analyzed. Results The total score of Ottawa Assessment Scale was (5.37 ± 2.22) points, and the efficiency of intestinal cleaning was only 59%(167/283). Logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR=1.033, P=0.013); history of chronic constipation (OR=10.341, P=0.000);history of appendectomy (OR=5.349, P=0.007); walking time during medication (OR=0.350, P=0.000);incomplete intake of the preparation (OR=0.078, P=0.000), the time interval between the initiation of ingestion and the onset of bowel activity (OR=1.034, P=0.000), defecation frequency (OR =0.794, P=0.004);characteristics of last stool (OR=0.159, P=0.000) were influencing factors of intestinal cleanliness. Conclusions The intestinal cleanliness of patients with colonoscopy is still at a low level. In the future, medical personnel should identify patients with risk factors early, and give them specific bowel preparation, so as to improve the quality of bowel preparation effectively.
