Objective:To systematically integrate the work experience of medical and nursing staff in the remote home palliative care model, so as to provide a reference for improving remote home palliative care services.Methods:Qualitative studies on medical and nursing staff providing remote home palliative care were electronically searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, ProQuest, CINAHL, PsycINFO, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, and China Biology Medicine disc. The search period was from database establishment to April 30, 2024. Literature quality evaluation was conducted using the Joanna Briggs Institute Center for Evidence-Based Health Care Quality Assessment Criteria for Qualitative Research. The aggregative integration method was used to synthesize the findings.Results:Researchers repeatedly read, analyzed, and interpreted the 17 included literature, extracting 56 themes and summarizing eight new categories, and further synthesized three integrated results, namely, remote home palliative care provided patients with comprehensive physical, psychological, and mental care, as well as guidance and support for family members; remote home care helped to achieve full coverage of palliative care services; equipment limitations, information security risks, and incomplete processes restricted the development of remote palliative care.Conclusions:Remote home palliative care has improved patient care and family support capabilities, expanded service coverage, and promoted interdisciplinary collaboration. However, there are still issues such as equipment limitations, information security risks, and incomplete processes. Optimizing processes, improving safety mechanisms, and strengthening collaboration platforms will contribute to sustainable development.

Objective To explore the facilitators and barriers of palliative care volunteering,and to provide references for further advancement of palliative care volunteering.Methods Purposeful sampling was used to select 12 volunteers from a palliative care ward in Hangzhou,Zhejiang Province,between April and September 2024.Semi-structured interviews were conducted,and directed content analysis was applied to organize and analyze the data,followed by theme analysis.Results Facilitators and barriers for volunteers' participation in palliative care volunteering were extracted.The 5 sub-themes of facilitators include motivating factors and perceived benefits,support and collaboration among volunteers,professional training and healthcare recognition,increased social awareness and public acceptance,and government support and institutional safeguards.The 5 sub-themes of barriers include limitations in individual capacity,challenges in collaboration with patients,families and healthcare workers,inadequate management and service mechanisms,uneven development of palliative care and insufficient public attention to psychological problems,and inadequate relevant laws and incentives.Conclusion There are more factors affecting the development of palliative care volunteering,and healthcare professionals should adopt targeted strategies to promote the active participation of volunteers in order to promote the sustainable development of palliative care volunteering.

Objective:To explore the experience of emotion management and program needs of patients with vasovagal syncope (VVS) from the doctor-nurse-patient perspective.Methods:This study was a phenomenological study in qualitative research. Using purposive sampling method, four medical specialists, four nursing specialists, and 10 patients with VVS from the Syncope Center of Shanghai East Hospital, Tongji University were selected from March to May 2024 for semi-structured interviews. Colaizzi's phenomenological data analysis was used to analyze the data.Results:Theme 1 was the initial perception and experience of emotion management, in which the doctor-nurse perspective included two sub-themes of emotion management met the actual needs of clinical patients and the management program was too specialized and unknown, and the patient perspective included three sub-themes of differences in the ability of individuals to recognize their own emotional state, lack of knowledge related to emotion management, and lack of social support. Theme 2 was the need for emotion management programs, in which the doctor-nurse perspective involved two sub-themes of multidisciplinary cooperation, suitable for clinical operation and follow-up, and the combination of online and offline, and in-hospital and out-of-hospital linkage, and the patient perspective involved two sub-themes of the need for healthcare guidance, easy to operate, and the diversification of forms, personalization, and meeting the needs of different populations.Conclusions:The content of emotion management is relatively unknown to doctors, nurses and patients, and even more so to patients. VVS emotion management work is still in its infancy, and emotion management as a branch of rehabilitation needs to be emphasized for its development, and psychological assessment and intervention work should be incorporated into the routine of syncope rehabilitation.

Objective: To explore the factors affecting language development delay among children aged <3 years, so as to provide a basis for the prevention and early intervention of children's language development problems. Methods: Eighty-one children aged <3 years with language development delay who visited the children's language development clinic of Shaoxing Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January to December 2024 as the case group. Meanwhile, 118 children who underwent routine physical examinations at the children's health clinic during the same period, had normal language development were randomly selected as the control group. Data on children's basic information, parenting environment, and screen exposure were collected through questionnaire surveys. Language development delay was assessed using the Early Language Milestone Scale and the Gesell Developmental Diagnosis Scale. The factors for language development delay were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: The case group comprised 81 children, including 56 boys (69.14%) and 25 girls (30.86%), with a mean age of (23.14±4.84) months. The control group consisted of 118 children, including 81 boys (68.64%) and 37 girls (31.36%), with a mean age of (23.81±4.60) months. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that daily parental companionship time of ≥2 hours (OR=0.121, 95%CI: 0.040-0.367), attending childcare institutions (OR=0.103, 95%CI: 0.030-0.352), the average daily screen exposure time <1 hour (OR=0.614, 95%CI: 0.400-0.942), interactive parental accompaniment during screen exposure (OR=0.350, 95%CI: 0.157-0.779), and restricting screen exposure time (OR=0.162, 95%CI: 0.056-0.470) were associated with a lower risk of language development delay among children aged <3 years. Conclusion Daily paternal companionship of 2 hours or more, attending childcare institutions, daily screen exposure time of less than 1 hour, interactive parental companionship during screen time, and limiting screen exposure time can reduce the risk of language developmental delay among children aged under 3 years.

Objective: To investigate the vitamin D levels in children aged 1 year in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide the basis for prevention and treatment of vitamin D deficiency in children and promoting their health. Methods: The 1-year-old children who underwent health examinations at the Department of Child Health Care of Shaoxing Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from September 2023 to August 2024 were selected. Basic information of the children was collected through the medical record information system, and their length and weight were measured. The length, weight and nutritional status were evaluated according to the Technical Specifications for the Management of Nutritional Diseases in Children. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25- (OH) D] levels were measured using electrochemiluminescence assay, and vitamin D levels were assessed based on the fifth edition of Child Health Care. The vitamin D levels were analyzed among the children with different genders, testing months, and growth status. Results: A total of 2 245 children were recruited, including 1 189 boys (52.96%) and 1 056 girls (47.04%). The median serum 25- (OH) D level was 39.98 (interquartile range, 16.63) ng/mL. Vitamin D insufficiency was observed in 279 children, with an insufficiency rate of 12.43%. The median serum 25- (OH) D level in boys was 39.26 (interquartile range, 17.75) ng/mL, which was lower than that in girls at 41.39 (17.75) ng/mL (P<0.05). The vitamin D insufficiency rate was 13.04% in boys and 11.74% in girls, with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). The lowest vitamin D insufficiency rate was observed in August at 4.95%, while the highest rate was in September at 23.89%, showing the statistically significant difference across testing months (P<0.05). The children with above-average length ratings, higher weight ratings and obesity had higher vitamin D insufficiency rates, at 17.29%, 20.86% and 20.88%, respectively. The vitamin D insufficiency rate increased with higher weight and nutritional status ratings (both P<0.05), but no significant change was observed with higher length ratings (P>0.05). Conclusions The vitamin D insufficiency rate among 1-year-old children in Shaoxing City was 12.43%, with variations observed in different testing months, weight and nutritional status. Targeted prevention and intervention measures should be implemented to address these differences.
