Objective To evaluate the scientificity,transparency and applicability of Chinese guidelines and expert consensuses on nursing published in 2022,in order to improve the quality of guidelines and consensuses.Methods Databases including Medline,Embase,Web of Science,CBM,CNKI,WanFang database,Chinese Medical Journal,and related websites were electronically searched,as well as China Hong Kong,Macao and Taiwan medical journals,to collect Chinese guidelines and expert consensuses on nursing from January to December 2022.STAR tool was used to evaluate the quality of each guidelines and consensuses by 3 assessors independently.Total score,scoring rate of each domain and item were adopted to analyze the outcomes.Results A total of 3 guidelines and 33 expert consensuses were included.The total guidelines and expert consensuses STAR score(33.5±14.3).The quality of guidelines and consensuses was low.The quality of guidelines was moderate with average score of 55.1,and the quality of consensuses was low with average score of 31.5.The included guidelines and consensuses had a highest score rate(52.4％)in the domain of recommendation.Among 39 items of STAR tool,the top 4 items including listing participants and institutions,explaining additional instructions for implementation,describing consensus method,and listing references for recommendations had a high score rate of 100％,83.3％,77.8％,75.0％respectively.However,the items of registration,providing registration information,protocols being searched on public platforms and explaining the role of funding had a low score rate,urgent need for attention and upgrading.Conclusion The overall quality of the Chinese guidelines and expert consensuses on nursing published in 2022 was low.As a medical and nursing practice guidance document,the quality of guidelines and expert consensuses should be improved by encouraging registration,strengthening management of interest conflict,enhancing the rigor of guideline developing process,and expanding the dissemination.

Objective:To explore the current situation of nursing human caring in hospital wards and analyze its influencing factors, so as to facilitate the development of nursing human caring practice.Methods:From July to November 2022, a total of 107 hospitals were surveyed through stratified convenience sampling method, and 4 072 ward nursing managers were recruited to finish the general information questionnaire and the ward nursing human caring status questionnaire. The general information included the region, class and type of the hospital, etc. The ward nursing human caring status questionnaire included 38 items in 5 dimensions of nursing human caring system and process, humanistic quality and training of nursing staff, humanistic environment and facilities, human caring procedures and measures, and human caring quality evaluation and improvement, with a full score of 190 points. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the general data, independent samples t-test, ANOVA and correlation analysis were used to analyze the factors influencing the current status of nursing human caring in the ward, while multiple linear regression analysis was used to conduct a multivariate analysis. Results:The score of nursing human caring in hospital wards was 156.91±27.78. Whether the hospital had carried out nursing human caring pilot(demonstration) wards, whether the ward had previously been a hospital nursing human caring pilot(demonstration) nursing unit, the type of ward, and whether nursing managers had participated in human caring training were the influencing factors of the implication of nursing humanistic caring in wards( P<0.05). Conclusions:The practice of nursing human caring in hospital wards is at a good level, but needs to be further strengthened. Nursing managers should take systematically strategies to promote the development of nursing human caring practice.

Hospitals today are confronted with new challenges in environmental hygiene management. Based on recent literatures and norms at home and abroad, this review analyzed such challenges and defects found in the environmental hygiene management of hospitals in China. The problems include but are not limited to the following: incomplete environmental management system and norms, insufficient staffing and funding support, lack of HR management mechanism in terms of employment, training, appraisal and reward/penalty, as well as poor hygiene awareness of hospital environmental services staff. In view of these problems in the hospitals, the authors provide specific countermeasures as follows: establishing new environmental hygiene management models, improving management mechanisms, creating positive and normalized cultural atmosphere for environmental infection control, and applying informatization to upgrade environmental hygiene quality. These measures are expected to serve as references for improving surrounding hygiene of patients.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate residents' knowledge, attitude and behavior towards coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Hunan Province, and to explore the factors influencing behaviors. METHODS: A self-designed questionnaire was used to conduct an online survey for 4 139 Hunan residents. The contents included general population information, residents' knowledge, attitude and practice to COVID-19. RESULTS: Mean scores of knowledge, attitude, and behavior were 29.82±3.16, 6.71±1.12, and 14.93±1.45, respectively. Residents had the highest score of major symptoms of COVID-19 (3.96±0.39), but the lowest was the main transmission routes (3.47±0.89). A total of 22.68% of the residents were very or relatively afraid of the outbreak, but 95.22% of the residents had confidence in defeating COVID-19. In behavior dimension, "handling of suspicious symptoms" had the lowest score (3.58±0.75). The behavior implementation rate of "keep the surfaces of household items clean" (80.50%), "doing more exercise, reasonable diet, working and resting regularly" (84.59%), and "avoid hand contacting with eyes, mouth or nose" (89.51%) were relatively low. Pearson correlation coefficient showed that the knowledge, attitude, and practices score were correlated with each other (knowledge vs behavior: =0.366; knowledge vs attitude: =0.041; attitude vs behavior: =0.100; all <0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the knowledge, attitude and behavior on COVID-19 were mostly influenced by education background (all <0.05), and the independent factors affecting behavior included knowledge and attitude, gender, permanent residence, education background (all <0.05). CONCLUSIONS Residents in Hunan Province have a good knowledge, attitude, and behavior to COVID-19. Nevertheless there are still weak links to be improved in all dimensions. It is necessary to strengthen knowledge and behavior of family protection, and care for residents' psychological health, especially persons with low education degree, male and rural residents.

Objective:To explore the application effect of swallowing-feeding safety management of food flow test on improving postoperative swallowing function recovery of patients with laryngeal neoplasms.Methods:By the convenient sampling method, patients with laryngeal neoplasms who underwent open surgeries in Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery in a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital in Changsha from January to November 2019 were selected as research objects. A total of 33 patients who were admitted to hospital from January to May 2019 were set as the control group while 36 patients who were admitted from June to November 2019 were set as the experimental group. The control group was given regular diet guidance such as food type guidance, eating position and posture guidance, eating environment management, oral nursing and other routine eating guidance. The experimental group adopted a swallowing-feeding evaluation based on routine nursing and used the food flow test method to guide individualized eating plans based on the assessment results. The incidence of irritating cough during eating and days of gastric tube indwelling were compared between two groups. Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) subjective score of eating sensation were used to compare intervention effects.Results:Difference in the incidence of irritating cough in patients with laryngeal neoplasms between two groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The number of days of gastric tube indwelling in the experimental group was less than that in the control group, and the FOIS and VAS scores were higher than those in the control group, the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Swallowing-feeding safety management of food flow test can provide accurate feeding guidance for patients with laryngeal neoplasms, which can improve the safety of eating, promote the recovery of swallowing function, reduce the retention time of the gastric tube and improve the subjective experience of eating.
