Objective:To understand the current status of nurses' awareness and needs for the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), as to provide basis for the hospital to formulate EAP.Methods:Using the purpose sampling method, 352 ICU nurses from the Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated of Nanjing University Medical School were selected as the research subjects from December 2019 to January 2020. Finally, 350 valid questionnaires were obtained. Use the EAP demand questionnaire to investigate the ICU nurses' awareness and demand for EAP.Results:Among the 350 nurses in the intensive unit, 214 cases (61.14%) had never understood EAP, only 8 (2.29%) had understood and experienced the EAP, and 332 cases (94.86%) believed that the hospital′s implementation of EAP was a benefit provided to nurses. The top two service requirements were: "Relief of work pressure" and "mental health consultation", and hope to receive mixed-mode EAP services; in ICU and CCU, nurses hope EAP can help resolve work-family conflicts; in EICU, they need to provide Specific job skills training services.Conclusions:ICU nurses have insufficient cognition of EAP and urgently need to obtain EAP implementation knowledge; at the same time, it is necessary to formulate an implementation plan that meets ICU nurses′ needs for EAP, that is, to relieve work pressure and carry out psychological counseling to ensure that EAP is launch successfully in ICU nurses.

Objective:To compare the aortic remodeling of the Fabulous stent system and standard thoracic aortic endovascular repair (TEVAR) on distal aorta type B aortic dissection (TBAD). Methods:The prospective data collected between Dec 2017 and Oct 2019 from 134 patients with type B aortic dissection (TBAD) who underwent treatment with the "Fabulous" stent system, and retrospective data from 159 TBAD patients receiving standard TEVAR from corresponding multicenter. By using propensity score matching analysis, we compared the prognosis and aortic remodeling outcomes in patients undergoing Fabulous and standard TEVAR treatments during a 1-year postoperative follow-up.Results:In this study, 62 patients in Fabulous group and 62 patients in standard TEVAR were included.There were no significant statistical differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups. In terms of aortic remodeling in bare stent region, Fabulous group had better change trends of diameter of true lumen [10.6 (4.4, 14.5) mm vs. 4.7 (0.9, 10.7) mm, P=0.001] and false lumen [-24.2 (-30.5, -4.9) mm vs. 0.7 (-11.8, 2.3) mm, P<0.001] than those in the standard TEVAR group. The rate of complete false lumen thrombosis was also higher in the Fabulous group (62.9% vs. 37.1%, P=0.042). Conclusion:The Fabulous stent system, when compared to standard TEVAR surgery, demonstrates good aortic remodeling outcomes in the distal aorta.
