Objective To explore the difference of PICC utilization in different time on phlebitis occurrence among patients with tumor by chemotherapy. Methods According to peripheral venous chemotherapy, 325 cases had been divided into chemotherapy group (n = 93) and the first time chemotherapy group (n = 232). We observed the occurrence of patients with phlebitis in two groups after PICC implantation. Results The probability of phlebitis occurrence in patients after PICC placement in chemotherapy group was 26. 9% and that in the first time chemotherapy group was 12. 5% (χ2 = 9. 91,P < 0. 05). ⅠandⅡ grade of phlebitis incidence rates of patients in chemotherapy group were 18. 3% and 8. 6% , but that in the first time chemotherapy group were 9. 5% and 3. 0% (P > 0. 05), there were no Ⅲ grade phlebitis happened in both groups. Conclusions The PICC should be adopted by the patients as early as possible for patient with the first time chemotherapy to reduce the peripheral venous stimulation and reduce the phlebitis occurrence.

Objective To explore the effects of whole process management pattern on the complication of PICC among cancer patients. Methods From October 2012, we started to build up the whole process management pattern to plan, implement, check and cope with integration of 4 stages key element including environment, safety, quality and patient′s health for PICC patients, and it carried out in the whole hospital. We compared the number of PICC cases, success rate of first PICC insertion and incidence of complication between the time of January to October 2012 and the time of November 2012 to December 2013, and compared the patients′satisfaction of nursing quality. Results After the whole process management pattern used, the total number of PICC climbed from 275 cases to 475 cases and the success rate of first PICC insertion increased from 94. 9% to 98. 9% with statistical difference (χ2 =11. 58,P<0. 01). The incidences of complication declined, of which the rate of mechanical phlebitis was 1. 8%, infection related catheter 2. 1%, and all complications were lower than before the whole process management pattern used (χ2 =5. 99,25. 17, respectively; P <0. 01). The patients′satisfaction increased from 93. 1% to 97. 1% with statistical difference (χ2 =6. 53,P<0. 05). Conclusions The whole process management pattern declines the complications of PICC among cancer patients, and promotes patients safety, releases clinical pressure and enhanced patients′satisfaction and quality of specific nursing.

Methods: With clinical interview method ,90 pupils from seven-years-old to elevelen-years-old were asked to inference to the dramatis personae's affect reaction, emotional attribution in the given situation.Results:Children's emotional response and emotional attribution in learning context is self-regarded, coping style also decline to self effort .There were no age and sex differences in emotional responses to successful situation,there were age differences to failure situation,and there were no sex difference in emotional attribution.Conclusion:Children's emotional responses and emotional attribution to success and failure in learning have different features.

Objective: To examine the relations among objective peer support, perceived peer support, perceived parent support, importance ratings of peer / parent support, and self- worth in adolescents. At the same time, peer acceptance of adolescents was examined. Methods: Sociometric techniques and self- report instrument were applied collectively to a sample of 285 adolescents. Results: ①Sociometric techniques show that adolescents can be divided into popular adoles- cents, rejected adolescents, controversial adolescents, and neglected adolescents; ②There are significant positive correla- tions between objective peer support and perceived peer support, between perceived peer / parent support and self- worth, but there is no significant correlation between objective peer support and self- worth; ③Importance ratings of peer / parent support can serve as a moderator between perceived peer / parent support and self- worth for the middle school students aged 15. Conclusion: Perceived peer / parent support can predict self- worth of adolescents; Importance ratings of peer / parent support can moderate perceived peer / parent support and self- worth for the middle school students aged 15.

Objective: To examine the developmental characteristics of the pupils' emotion display rules and its relationship to the peer acceptance. Methods: A sample of 157 pupils' emotion display rules and peer acceptance in third and fifth grades were tested by clinical interview and social nomination. Results: Third-graders compared to fifth-graders were more knowledgeable about expression regulation, and used more self-protective display rules. Girls were proposed more norm-maintenance display rules than boys. Urban children compared to country children were more knowledgeable about expression regulation, and used more prosocial display rules. Self-protective display rules can predict peer rejection. Conclusion: Pupils' emotion display rules have different developing characteristics, and can predict peer rejection to a certain extent. The development of display rules is beneficial to moderate children's expression regulation and social development.
