Objective To study the effect of scenario case based learning for nurse-patient communicationon empathy of un-dergraduate nursing students. Methods The undergraduate nursing students who had completed the basic nursing courses and the course of"communication in nursing"were enrolled as participants.Seventy-two students recruited in 2013 were assigned as the control group,where only individual guidance was given before taking examination;while eighty-nine students recruited in 2014 as the inter-vention group,where a self-compiled Collection of Scenarios for Nurse-Patient Communication was given when they were preparing for the final examination and the students were required to give their own communication plans based on the scenario cases from the collec-tion.The two groups were compared in view of empathy. Result The intervention group were better in empathy ability assessment, with statistically significant difference (P<0.001). Conclusions The scenario case based learning for nurse-patient communication makes up for the shortcomings of traditional teaching methods.It encourages nursing students to think from the patients'perspective and improves the empathy ability of students.

Objective To develop an inpatient assessment form for geriatric syndromes,aiming to quickly and accurately determine whether elderly inpatients are at risk of geriatric syndromes.Methods From May 2021 to December 2023,an initial item pool for the scale was proposed through literature review.Sixteen experts from four fields of geriatric nursing,nursing management,nursing education,and geriatric medicine were selected from seven institutions in six provinces and cities across the country.Two rounds of Delphi expert consultation were conducted to inquire about the assessment form.Results The enthusiasm coefficient of the two rounds of expert consultation was 100.00%,and the expert authority coefficient was 0.88.In the first round of expert consultation,the importance ratings of the three-level indicators ranged from 4.06 to 4.75,with a coefficient of variation of 0.09 to 0.25,a full score rate of 43.75%to 81.25%,and a Kendall coordination coefficient W of 0.210.In the second round of expert consultation,the importance ratings of the three-level indicators ranged from 4.63 to 4.94,with a coefficient of variation of 0.05 to 0.13,a full score rate of 62.50%to 93.75%,and a Kendall coordination coefficient W of 0.419.After two rounds of expert consultation,the inpatient assessment form for geriatric syndromes was finally determined,including 5 first-level indicators(past history,physical function,common geriatric symptoms,mental and psychological status,socioeconomic status),26 second-level indicators,and 41 third-level indicators.Conclusion The inpatient assessment form for geriatric syndromes developed in this study is scientifically and practically feasible and can be used to quickly identify the risk of geriatric syndromes in elderly inpatients.
