Objective:To translate the Short Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SSRQ) into Chinese, and test its reliability and validity in breast cancer patients.Methods:Using the Brislin translation model, cross-cultural adaptation was conducted by combining expert consultation and a pre-survey on SSRQ. From August to December 2023, 324 breast cancer patients from Department of Breast Surgery of Peking University First Hospital were selected by convenience sampling to test the reliability and validity of SSRQ.Results:A total of 324 questionnaires were distributed and 307 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 94.75% (307/324). The final questionnaire consisted of 30 items. The content validity index at the item level ranged from 0.80 to 1.00, and the content validity index at the scale level was 0.97. The predictive validity result showed a good model fit. The Cronbach's α coefficient for the questionnaire was 0.90, the folded reliability coefficient was 0.85, and the retest reliability coefficient was 0.79.Conclusions:SSRQ has good reliability and validity in breast cancer patients and has value for clinical promotion.

Objective:To investigate the present situation of lymphedema clinics in 60 hospitals and provide reference for the management and development of lymphedema nursing clinic.Methods:Convenience sampling method was used to select 60 hospitals that had set up lymphedema nursing outpatient service. A self-designed questionnaire was conducted for the heads of lymphedema nursing clinics from June 10th 2021 to August 15th, 2021 using electronic questionnaires.Results:Lymphedema clinics had been opened since 2015 and developed rapidly in recent years. The outpatient service mainly took the form of specialized outpatient service for lymphedema, accounted for 61.67%(37/60), and also existed in the form of combined breast rehabilitation, ostomy, catheter maintenance, etc. There was a great difference in the frequency of outpatient service in hospitals, 46.67%(28/60) had outpatient service every day, 36.67% (22/60) had outpatient service only half a day every week. The number of outpatient patients was relatively low, 61.67%(37/60) of the hospitals had no more than 10 patients per week, and only 8.33% (5/60) had more than 50 patients per week. There were only 26 full-time nurses accounted for 14.94%(26/174), and the international lymphedema therapist certification rate was 36.21% (63/174). Training institutions included foreign introduced training programs, domestic and foreign cooperation programs, overseas training and local training, etc. 100.00% (60/60) of the hospitals participating in the survey adopted comprehensive detumescence therapy, combined with auxiliary motor muscle energy binding technology 51.67% (31/60), air wave pressure therapy 48.33% (29/60), traditional Chinese medicine therapy 16.67% (10/60), etc. According to the survey of charging situation, only 14 hospitals accounted for 23.33%(14/60) had special charging, among which 12 hospitals accounted for 20.00%(12/60) had official charging approval.Conclusions:Lymphedema clinics have been developed and the ranks of lymphedema therapists are growing. The relevant departments should strengthen the standard management of lymphedema clinic, clarify the qualifications of visiting personnel, establish the standard of outpatient fees, promote the sustainable development of lymphedema clinic, and finally improve the quality of life of patients with lymphedema.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the effect of couple-centered psychological intervention on breast cancer patients.Methods:Randomized controlled trials published in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, JBI, CNKI, Wanfang, Vip and CBM database on the effect of psychological intervention on breast cancer patients with husband and wife as the center were searched by computer. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to September 2020. Two reviewer independently conducted literature screening, data extraction and literature quality evaluation according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and Meta analysis was carried out using RevMan 5.3 software.Results:A total of 879 patients were included in 11 articles. Meta analysis results showed that the couple-centered psychological intervention not only improved the quality of life, but also improved the anxiety of breast cancer patients ( SMD=1.54, 95% CI 0.22-2.86, P=0.02) and depression ( SMD=1.22, 95% CI 0.12-2.33, P=0.03). Conclusions:After psychological intervention, the anxiety and depression of breast cancer patients were improved and the quality of life was also improved. Due to the inconsistency in the mode, frequency and evaluation index of psychological intervention, more large samples and high-quality studies are needed to further verify the effect of couple-centered psychological intervention on breast cancer patients and spouses centered on husband and wife.

Objective:To explore and describe the experiences of young breast cancer survivors in transitional period, and to provide basis for the development of targeted rehabilitation nursing measures.Methods:This study was guided by phenomenological theory of qualitative research. 14 cases were deeply interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. The information of interview was analyzed, sorted, coded in according to Colaizzi′s analysis, and different themes were extracted.Results:6 themes of the experience of young breast cancer survivors in the transitional period were extracted including: trying to return to normal life, persistent side effects of treatment, problems of partnership and fertility, strong sense of insecurity and uncertainty, career planning and unmet needs.Conclusions:Young breast cancer survivors still face pressure from physiological, psychological and social aspects in the transitional period. Nurses can promote their smooth transition and early recovery by strengthening discharge assessment and planning, providing continuous care, paying attention to long-term symptom management, improving their self-care ability, encouraging their spouses to participate in support and other strategies.

Objective:
To assess and analyze clinical nursing workload of tertiary general hospitals in Tianjin.
Methods:
4 tertiary general hospitals in Tianjin were recruited by convenience sampling. 13 representative departments of the medical system and the surgical system were selected as the investigation departments. All the clinical duty nurses of every day work in selected departments were taken as the observation objects. Unified training investigators used work sampling method to observe and record the "operation" , "movement", "waiting" and "others" four types of activities of nurses, taking an observation point in a minute; SPSS17.0 was used for analysis.
Results:
Totally 172 800 sampling points were selected. Besides 2.62% (4 534/172 800) of other affairs, the total nursing workload in one day was 97.38% (168 264/272800), with 85.03% (146 923/172 800) operating time including direct nursing accounting for 33.64% (58 144/172 800), indirect nursing accounting for 8.92% (15 422/172 800), and 42.46% (73 363/172 800) of related nursing. Movement accounted for 11.71% (20 228/172 800), while waiting accounted for 0.65% (1 113/172 800).
Conclusion
Generally, nurses in tertiary general hospitals have long working time and heavy workload, but direct nursing which can reflects the value and connotation of nursing work is low. In nursing work, the "waiting" caused by the lack of personnel, material, equipment, environment problems made a waste of time and human resources to certain extent. Therefore, results of the present study can provide reference for tertiary hospitals to optimize the allocation of nursing human resources, improve the quality of nursing service, reduce the workload of nurses and construct lean management system.
