OBJECTIVES: End stage renal disease (ESRD) is a major disease that seriously threatens the health of young people, and kidney transplantation is an effective treatment method to improve its prognosis.Young ESRD patients at a critical stage of life development often face significant physical and psychological challenges while waiting for kidney transplantation. Their psychological state directly affects treatment compliance and transplantation outcomes.This study aims to explore the psychological experiences of young patients with end stage renal disease during the waiting period for kidney transplantation, and provide a reference for formulating relevant psychological intervention measures. METHODS: A descriptive qualitative research design was adopted. Using purposive sampling, 20 young ESRD patients awaiting for kidney transplantation at the Transplantation Center of Xiangya Third Hospital, Central South University, from June to August 2024, were recruited. Based on the socio-ecological systems theory, a semi-structured interview outline was developed, and directed content analysis was applied to analyze the interview data. RESULTS: According to the results of qualitative interviews, 3 themes and 9 sub-themes were summarized as follows: Microsystem (disease pain experience, anxiety during transplantation waiting period, cognitive differentiation and coping differences), mesosystem (imbalance of family roles and dependent guilt, physician-patient trust dynamics, ambivalence toward peer support), and macrosystem (decision-making powerlessness caused by information asymmetry, sociocultural stigma and public bias, institutional dependence and passive behavior). CONCLUSIONS Young ESRD patients experience complex psychological experiences during the waiting period for kidney transplantation. Healthcare providers should explore corresponding intervention measures based on patients' psychological status to improve their waiting period experience and promote both physical and mental health.

Objective It conducted a grounded theory on the factors influencing the sense of job significance of hospital administrators to provide suggestions and references for the promotion of high-quality development of hospital management work.Methods From April to September 2023,it interviewed 23 administrators from various departments across Provinces/Cities,including Zhejiang,Heilongjiang,Guangdong,Shanghai,Henan,Jilin,Sichuan and others,using a theoretical sampling method.Employing Grounded Theory,it encoded over transcriptional information at three levels.Results Three-level coding process yielded 66 free nodes,19 initial concepts,7 main categories,and 3 dimensions,leading to the development of a theoretical model encompassing existence,relatedness,and growth.Conclusion The job meaning for hospital administrators is shaped by existence,relatedness,and growth.It recommend revising performance assessments,fostering an empowering culture,enhancing informal communication,providing professional growth pathways,and offering diverse career development options to deepen administrators'job meaning.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of the career plateau among hospital administrators,to provide scientific reference for enhancing the quality of hospital management and operation.Methods The interview data were analyzed by grounded theoretical research methods.It conducted semi-structured interviews with 22 tar-get objects and conducted qualitative research on the influencing factors of hospital administrators'career plateau with the help of NVivo 11.0 software.Results After a three-level coding,114 initial concepts,30 subcategories,10 main categories,and 3 core categories were summarized.A theoretical model was developed,encompassing three dimensions:aggravating factors,dissipating factors,and convertible factors.Conclusion The career plateau of hospi-tal administrators is affected by a complex interplay of aggravating,dissipating and convertible factors.Hospitals need to provide regular vocational training to cultivate organizational loyalty for their employees.Hospital administra-tors should engage in proactive career planning and skill diversification.and the government should coordinate the es-tablishment of links between hospitals and the external system to promote the openness and connection of the healthcare system to the outside world.
