Objective:To explore the latent categories of nurses' perception of high-performance work systems (HPWS) through latent profile analysis and analyze the differences in characteristics and influencing factors among different categories.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select 3 450 clinical nurses from ClassⅡ、Ⅲ hospitals in 12 regions of China between June and July 2024. General information questionnaires, the Perceived High-Performance Work System Scale, and the Nurse Voice Behavior Scale were used for data collection. Latent profile analysis was conducted to analyze nurses' perception of HPWS, and multi-class logistic regression was used to examine the influencing factors for different categories.Results:A total of 3 450 questionnaires were collected, with 3 385 valid responses, yielding an effective response rate of 98.12%. Nurses' perception of HPWS had an average score of (70.46±12.21), which could be divided into three latent categories: low perception (17%, 559/3 385), moderate perception (42%, 1 433/3 385), and high perception (41%, 1 393/3 385). The multi-class logistic regression analysis showed that job nature, title, position, years of service, monthly income, health impact on work, work duration, and monthly night shifts were significant factors influencing nurses' perception of HPWS ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:There is heterogeneity in the nurses' perception of HPWS. Nursing managers should focus on nurses with low perception of HPWS and provide interventions and support based on the characteristics and influencing factors of each category to improve nurses' voice behaviors.

Objective:To investigate the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of falls among the elderly community population in Beijing.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted using stratified multistage random sampling to select urban and rural residents aged 65 years and older in Beijing. Mortality data was collected after the baseline survey for 5 years. The incidence of falls was weighted based on the composition ratios of age and gender from the 2010 Nation-wide Population Census of Beijing. A logistic regression model was used to analyze the impacts of demographic sociology of common chronic diseases on fall occurrence. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the fall and 5-year survival association.Results:A total of 2 968 participants completed the questionnaire, at cross-sectional survey, with an average age of (73.2±6.0) years, and 1 581 (53.8%) participants were female. Three hundred and sixty-one individuals experienced a fall within the past year. Among those who fell, 64 (17.7%) fell twice, and 95 (26.6%) fell three or more times. Of them, 14.4% (52) had post-fall fractures, with the wrist, knee, and hip being the most common fracture sites, accounting for 25.0%, 17.3%, and 15.4%, respectively. The weighted fall incidence was 12.4% (95% CI: 11.2%-13.5%). Aging, being female, and living in rural areas were more likely to fall. Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, gender, and urban-rural status, the risk of falls for those living alone ( OR=1.48, 95% CI: 1.08-2.04) or living with children/grandchildren ( OR=1.51, 95% CI: 1.15-1.97) were significantly higher than those living with their spouse. In addition, the risk of falls was elevated significantly among the elderly with hypertension, diabetes, stroke, dementia, depression status, urinary incontinence, arthritis, insomnia, vision, and hearing loss, dependence on activities of daily living (ADL), general and poor self-rated health (SRH). The Cox proportional hazard regression model revealed that the 5-year risk of death increased by 65% ( HR=1.65, 95% CI: 1.29-2.11) for those who experienced a fall, which increased with fall frequency. This elevated risk persisted after adjusting for chronic conditions, ADL, and SRH. Conclusions:Ageing, female, living in rural regions, having common chronic diseases, dependence on ADL, general and poor SRH, living alone or living with children/grandchildren were associated with the elevated fall risk. The occurrence of fall was seasonal. The most common short-term adverse consequence after a fall was fractures, while the long-term effect was an increased risk of death.

Objective:To analyze the short-and medium-term clinical outcomes of Mako robotic-assisted posterior-lateral approach in complex primary total hip arthroplasty (THA).Methods:A retrospective case series analysis was conducted on 29 patients with complex hip conditions who underwent Mako robotic-assisted posterior-lateral approach at Department of Orthopaedics, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from November 2020 to December 2024. The patient cohort included 14 cases of developmental dysplasia of the hip, 8 cases of ankylosed hip, 3 cases of traumatic hip arthritis, 3 cases of sequelae of purulent hip arthritis, and 1 case of synovial chondromatosis. There were 12 males and 17 females, with an age of (62.3±9.4) years (range:44 to 79 years). Surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, vascular and nerve injury, postoperative infection, and other complications were recorded. Preoperative and postoperative lower limb length discrepancy, combined offset difference (ΔCO), acetabular abduction angle, and acetabular anteversion angle were measured. The Harris hip score was recorded at regular follow-ups. Data comparison was conducted using the paired sample t-test. Results:All patients successfully underwent surgery with the Mako robotic system. The surgical time was (107.6±41.5) minutes (range:50 to 235 minutes), and the intraoperative blood loss was (165.5±147.7) ml (range:50 to 800 ml). All patients were followed up for a duration of (27.3±16.7) months (range:3 to 51 months). The planned intraoperative acetabular cup abduction angle was 40.1°±1.6° (range: 36° to 45°), and the measured postoperative acetabular cup abduction angle was 40.2°±3.5° (range: 33° to 54°), with no significant difference ( t=0.231, P=0.819). The planned intraoperative acetabular cup anteversion angle was 19.1°±3.9° (range: 15° to 25°), and the measured postoperative acetabular cup anteversion angle was 18.5°±3.4° (range: 10° to 26°), with no significant difference ( t=1.792, P=0.084). The difference in length of both lower limbs was (-17.6±15.0) mm (range:-50 to 10 mm) before operation and (-1.5±16.0) mm (range:-33 to 53 mm) after operation ( t=6.282, P<0.01)(positive values indicate that the surgical side is longer than the contralateral side). The ΔCO was (4.1±12.0) mm (range:-18 to 30 mm) before operation and (-2.2±13.3) mm (range:-44 to 17 mm) after operation, with statistically significant difference ( t=2.635, P=0.014). One patient experienced vascular injury with embolism postoperatively, while no other complications were observed in the remaining patients. No loosening, dislocation, or fracture of the prosthesis was noted during the follow-up period. The Harris function score was improved from (47.1±8.3) points(range:15 to 62 points) preoperatively to (73.0±5.5) points(range:57 to 83 points) at the three-month postoperative follow-up ( t=22.630, P<0.01). Conclusion:The use of Mako robotic assistance in complex total hip arthroplasty can enhance the accuracy of prosthesis placement, minimize lower limb length discrepancy, and improve hip joint function.

Objective:To compare the effects of different appointment regimens on the daily waiting time, fixedness of treatment time and lateness rate of radiotherapy patients.Methods:Medical records of 5488 radiotherapy from 332 patients on the same linear accelerator in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from March to June 2022 were selected. Based on the radiotherapy information integration platform of MOSAIQ, all patients were randomly assigned to the morning class, afternoon class and evening class. Traditional manual appointment regimen was adopted for the morning class, 30 min appointment regimen for the afternoon class, and 15 min appointment regimen for the evening class, respectively. The differences in patient waiting time for treatment, fixedness of treatment time, and lateness rate under different appointment regimens were compared. The fixedness of treatment time and waiting time was determined by one-way ANOVA, and the 2×3 Chi-square test was adopted for the lateness rate. Results:The waiting time in the 15 min appointment, the 30 min appointment and manual appointment groups were (27.08 ± 17.21), (34.57± 19.12) and (41.50 ±20.94) min, respectively. There was statistical significance among three appointment regimens ( F=254.97, P<0.001). The waiting time was the shortest in the 15 min appointment group, followed by the 30 min appointment group, and the manual appointment group (all P<0.001 for two-group comparison). The fixedness of treatment time in the 15 min appointment, the 30 min appointment and the manual appointment groups were (15.60±7.87), (18.69±8.94) and (24.30±15.10) min, respectively. There was statistical significance among three groups ( F=25.23, P<0.001). Among them, the fixedness of treatment time in the 15 min appointment group was the highest, followed by the 30 min appointment group, and the manual appointment group (all P<0.001). The lateness rates in the 15 min appointment, the 30 min appointment and the manual appointment groups were 5.7%, 6.2% and 9.6%, respectively. The lateness rate in the manual appointment group was higher than those in the 15 min appointment and the 30 min appointment groups ( χ2=19.24、14.90, both P<0.001), but there was no statistical significance in the lateness rate between the 15 min appointment and 30min appointment groups ( χ2=0.39, P=0.535). Conclusion:In the clinical practice of conventional intensity-modulated radiotherapy technology carried out by conventional linear accelerator, the 15 min appointment regimen can shorten the waiting time for radiotherapy and improve the fixedness of daily radiotherapy time, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To explore a teaching rounds model tailored for the ophthalmology day ward in standardized resident training.Methods:Based on the guidelines for teaching rounds in standardized resident training, we set up a teaching round working group and designed a teaching rounds model combining disease-based learning (DBL) and slit lamp-side (SLS) teaching. This teaching rounds model was implemented in 71 ophthalmology residents undergoing standardized training. The teaching effectiveness was evaluated through a questionnaire survey, including the rationality of the process design, the practicality of round content, the smoothness of round process, trainee engagement, and knowledge on the diseases involved. The results were compared with those of residents who received traditional bedside teaching rounds during the same period in 2022.Results:In the survey of satisfaction for the teaching rounds model combining DBL and SLS, 63 (88.73%) trainees were very satisfied with the rationality of the teaching round process design, trainee engagement, and knowledge on the diseases involved, 66 (92.96%) trainees were very satisfied with the practicality of the round content, and 64 (90.14%) trainees were very satisfied with the smoothness of the ward round process. Compared with the traditional bedside teaching rounds, the above five aspects of satisfaction were significantly improved ( P=0.022, P=0.023, P=0.003, P=0.019, P=0.025). Conclusions:The novel ophthalmology teaching rounds model combining DBL and SLS can be effectively integrated into the diagnosis and treatment processes in the day ward. The resident trainees showed high satisfaction with this model. This is an innovative teaching model well-suited for the operation of ophthalmology day wards.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and mortality of dementia and assess the impact of geriatric syndromes (GS) on the risk for dementia and death in elderly population in Beijing.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted in the elderly population aged ≥65 years and selected by a multi-stage sampling in Beijing during 2013-2015. Cognitive function was screened using the Chinese Revised Version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Then, neurological examination and psychiatric assessment were performed for those with the MMSE score lower than the cut-off value. The information about GS prevalence was also collected. The study also collected death records for all individuals from baseline until December 31, 2019. Based on the age and gender distribution from Beijing data of the 2010 Six th National Population Census, the dementia prevalence in the study population was directly standardized. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association of different forms of dementia with GS, and Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to estimate the hazard ratio ( HR) and 95% CI of death. Results:During 2013-2015, a total of 2 935 individuals completed dementia assessments, of which 167 were diagnosed with dementia. The standardized prevalence of dementia was 5.9% (95% CI: 5.0%-17.4%). The individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) accounted for 58.7% and 28.1% of total individuals with dementia, respectively. Aging, lower education level, urinary incontinence, and fall were risk factors for AD, while disability of activity of daily life dependence, hypertension, and stroke were found to be risk factors for VaD. After a median follow-up of 5.44 person-years, 399 deaths were recorded. The 5-year mortality risk was 2.87 (95% CI: 1.92-4.17) times and 4.93 (95% CI: 3.23-7.53) times higher for the elderly individuals with AD and VaD, respectively, compared to non-demented individuals. After adjusting for demographic, GS, and cardiovascular risk factors, the mortality risk in the elderly individuals with AD showed no significant difference compared with non-demented individuals ( HR=1.32, 95% CI: 0.89-1.97), while the mortality risk in those with VaD was 2.46 (95% CI: 1.49-4.05) times higher than that in non-demented individuals. Conclusions:The prevalence of dementia in Beijing increased significantly in the context of population aging, especially the prevalence of AD. The presence of GS increased the risks for AD and VaD, as well as the risk for death. Close attention needs to be paid to GS management in dementia prevention in elderly population.
