Transvaginal ultrasound guided oocyte retrieval is a very critical core step in in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer treatment of infertility. The operation time is usually short, but the needle will pierce the vaginal wall and the tunica albuginea of the ovary, and the operation inside the ovary can still cause discomfort and pain to the patient. In order to alleviate the pain caused by surgery and reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions, clinical and basic researchers have been researching and exploring better analgesia methods that meet the expectations of patients. This article reviews the research progress of analgesic methods in transvaginal ultrasound guided oocyte retrieval.

Objective:To investigate the current status and its influencing factors of spiritual care competence of nurses in reproductive center.Methods:Totally 524 nurses in reproductive center were recruited by stratified cluster sampling from 53 reproductive center in 26 provinces. They were investigated by using self-designed questionnaires and the Chinese version of Spiritual Care Competence Scale (SCCS).Results:The total SCCS score of the 524 nurses in reproductive center was 68.76±10.98. Among the six dimensions, communication ability got the highest score (3.58±0.81), while ability of professional development and quality improvement got the lowest score (2.90±0.76). The result of multiple regression analysis indicated that the influencing factors of spiritual care competency were spiritual care training and clinical teacher( P <0.01 or 0.05). Conclusions:The level of spiritual care competence of nurses in reproductive center is in the middle at a low level, with a great promotion space. Nursing managers in reproductive centers should actively create spiritual education and training opportunities for nurses to improve their spiritual care competence.
