Objective To investigate the current status of mini-CEX scores among students in the Elderly Service Man-agement program after completing the"Fundamentals of Nursing"course and analyze the influencing factors.Methods A total of 99 students from the Elderly Service Management program at the Wuming campus of Guangxi Medical University were selected as the study subjects.Assessment tools included a general information questionnaire,the Chinese version of the Mini Clinical E-valuation Exercise(mini-CEX),the Self-Rating Scale of Self-Directed Learning(SRSSDL),and a self-learning ability assess-ment scale.Stepwise linear regression analysis was employed to explore the factors affecting mini-CEX scores.Results The total mini-CEX score for the 99 students was 49.00(44.00,55.00).Stepwise linear regression analysis revealed that being a student leader,SRSSDL scores,self-learning ability,and teaching model were significant factors(P＜0.05),explaining 56.8％of the total variance.Conclusion The clinical comprehensive ability of students in the Elderly Service Management program requires enhancement,influenced by multiple factors including teaching model,self-learning ability,and self-directed learning capacity.

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability (FLACC) Pain Behavioral Scale, the Children′s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Pain Scale (CHEOPS), and the Objective Pain Scale (OPS) during the general anesthesia recovery period in children with oral therapy, and to explore their screening ability for pain risk, so as to provide information for selecting appropriate pain assessment scales for pediatric patients.Methods:One hundred and four pediatric patients with oral therapy under general anesthesia were recruited at the Stomatological Hospital of Southern Medical University from January to May, 2024. Two researchers observed simultaneously and scored independently using three scales in random order at 15 minutes and 60 minutes after patients arrival at post anesthesia care unit (PACU). Those awake patients also used the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale to report their pain. Internal consistency, inter-rater coefficient, construct and criterion validity of three scales were evaluated.Results:The final sample included 97 patients (50 males and 47 females), with an age of (4.88 ± 1.10) years. At 15 minutes and 60 minutes upon arrival at PACU, the Cronbach alpha coefficients for internal consistency of the FLACC, the CHEOPS, and the OPS were 0.993, 0.980, 0.990, and 0.991, 0.974, 0.989, respectively; the inter-rater correlation coefficients were 0.993, 0.985, 0.998, and 0.985, 0.984, 0.984, respectively; exploratory factor analysis extracted one factor from each scale, and cumulative variance contribution rates were 95.116%, 82.145%, 78.417%, and 89.706%, 67.652%, 75.978%, respectively. At 60 minutes upon arrival at PACU, the Spearman correlation coefficients between three scales and the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating scale were 0.621, 0.703, 0.588, respectively; Kappa coefficients of three scales were 0.608, 0.683, 0.520, and area under the ROC curve were 0.812, 0.839, 0.812, respectively.Conclusions:The three scales show good reliability and acceptable validity for assessing pain during the general anesthesia recovery period in children with oral therapy. The CHEOPS performs better in pain screening, followed by the FLACC, the OPS.
