BackgroundSocial support can help alleviate depressive symptoms in patients with major depressive disorder （MDD） and improve individual levels of empathy. The higher the level of empathy， the lower the probability of depressive symptoms. At present， the relationship between social support， empathy and depressive symptoms in MDD patients is unclear. ObjectiveTo explore the pathway of empathy in the relationship between social support and depressive symptoms in patients with MDD， so as to provide references for clinical treatment of MDD patients. MethodsA total of 126 patients who visited the outpatient clinic of Tianjin Anding hospital from July 2020 to September 2022 and met the diagnostic criteria for Major Depressive Disorder （MDD） according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders， fifth edition （DSM-5） were selected as the study subjects. Hamilton Depression Scale-17 item （HAMD-17）， Interpersonal Reactivity Index （IRI） and Social Support Rating Scale （SSRS） were used for assessment. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine the correlations among the scale scores. Path analysis was performed using Model 4 of the Process 3.4.1. Bootstrap method was used to test the path effects. ResultsAmong MDD patients， HAMD-17 total score was positively correlated with IRI total score and its subscales of fantasy and personal distress （r=0.225， 0.213， 0.220， P<0.05）. HAMD-17 total score was negatively correlated with SSRS total score and its subscales of subjective support and support utilization （r=-0.211， -0.181， -0.208， P<0.05）. The score of support utilization subscale of SSRS was positively correlated with IRI total score and its subscale of perspective taking and empathic concern （r=0.257， 0.261， 0.331， P<0.01）. Empathy served as a pathway between support utilization and depressive symptoms， with an indirect effect of 0.217 （95% CI： 0.060~0.426）， and the effect size was 36.90%. ConclusionEmpathy may serve as a pathway between support utilization and depressive symptoms in patients with MDD.

Objective:To construct a nursing quality evaluation indicator system for pulse indicator continuous cardiac output (PiCCO) monitoring and provide a basis for evaluating the nursing quality of PiCCO monitoring.Methods:Using Donabedian′s "structure-process-result" three-dimensional quality evaluation model as the theoretical framework, the nursing quality evaluation indicator system for PiCCO was established through literature search, Delphi expert correspondence, and hierarchical analysis during the period May to August 2023.Results:Of the 22 experts, 6 were male and 16 were female, aged (46.59 ± 4.34) years. The return rates of the questionnaires of the 2 rounds of expert correspondence were both 100%, the coefficients of expert authority were both 0.945, and the Kendall coordination coefficients were 0.045-0.186 ( χ2 values were 2.00-221.46, all P<0.05) and 0.045-0.132 ( χ2 values were 2.00-82.16, all P<0.05), respectively. The finalized nursing quality evaluation indicator system for PiCCO included 3 primary indicators, 7 secondary indicators, and 36 tertiary indicators. Conclusions:The nursing quality evaluation indicator system for PiCCO is practical and scientific, which can provide reference for PiCCO monitoring nursing quality evaluation.

Objective To investigate the knowledge and attitude of clinical nurses on Panvascular Disease(PVD)care in Zhejiang Province,and to analyze the influencing factors,so as to provide references for constructing a systematic PVD training program.Methods The convenient sampling method was used to investigate 454 nurses from 36 general hospitals in 11 prefectures and cities in Zhejiang Province in June 2024 with a self-designed questionnaire on general information and a questionnaire on PVD nursing knowledge and attitude questionnaire,and multiple stepwise linear regression was used to analyze the impact factors.Results 452 valid questionnaires were collected and the valid recovery rate was 99.56％.Nurses scored(8.57±2.02)in knowledge dimension,(60.82±6.45)in attitude dimension.The results of multiple stepwise linear regression analysis showed that hospital grade was the factor influencing the score of nurses'knowledge towards PVD nursing in Zhejiang Province(P＜0.05).Hospital grade,whether they had received systematic knowledge training related to PVD were the factors influencing the score of nurses'attitude towards PVD nursing(P＜0.05).Conclusion Nurses in Zhejiang Province are positive about PVD nursing,but their knowledge level needs to be improved.Nursing managers should pay full attention to the training intention of clinical nurses,establish a PVD knowledge training system,and strengthen the theoretical and practical training of clinical nurses on PVD nursing,so as to promote the development of PVD nursing work.

Objective To construct and preliminary verify a postoperative pulmonary rehabilitation nursing programme for children with double lung transplantation,aiming to promote early recovery and provide references for clinical nursing practice.Methods A convenience sampling approach was employed to select 25 cases pediatric patients who underwent bilateral lung transplantation at a tertiary teaching hospital in Hangzhou between January 2020 and September 2024,and they were divided into an experimental group and a control group according to the time of admission to the hospital.The experimental group received the newly developed post-transplant rehabilitation nursing program,which encompassed fluid management,mechanical ventilation,sequential oxygen therapy,pulmonary function training,exercise management,and process facilitation.In contrast,the control group received the standard post-lung transplantation rehabilitation protocol.Key outcomes,including mechanical ventilation duration,ICU stay,total hospitalization time,activity level,pulmonary function,incidence of adverse events and rehabilitation adherence,were compared between the 2 groups.Results Finally,24 cases completed the study,including 11 cases in the experimental group and 13 cases in the control group.After the intervention,the experimental group exhibited significantly shorter mechanical ventilation time compared to it in the control group(P=0.009).Additionally,at discharge,the intervention group demonstrated higher activity levels and better rehabilitation compliance(P＜0.05).Conclusion The pulmonary rehabilitation nursing program for children with double lung transplantation is scientifically sound,safe,and feasible.The implementation of this program is beneficial for the early discontinuation of mechanical ventilation,improving postoperative mobility,and enhancing compliance with pulmonary rehabilitation.

Objective To explore the barriers of implementing collaborative chronic wound management within medical consortium and provide references for ensuring continuous care for chronic wound patients.Methods Using purposive and snowball sampling methods,14 specialist nurses participating in chronic wound collaborative management across medical consortium in 7 provinces/municipalities(Beijing,Shanghai,Zhejiang,Sichuan,etc.)were selected for semi-structured interviews between December 2023 and January 2024.Data were analyzed via content analysis.Results Totally 4 themes and 8 subthemes were identified,including management and organizational level(the management system needs improvement;the function of medical information mutual recognition has not been fully realized),resource and technology level(there are insufficient nursing resources at the grassroots hospitals;the specialized nursing capabilities of wound nurses at grassroots hospitals need to be enhanced),patient and demand level(patients' trust is insufficient;patients' concepts are rigid),information technology and support level(the informatization construction of grassroots hospitals lags behind;the intelligence of information systems is insufficient).Conclusion Wound specialist nurses encounter various difficulties when participating in the coordinated management of chronic wounds within the medical consortium.The management and organizational system constraints hinder the effectiveness of the nursing coordination;the resource and technology gap affects the implementation of graded wound care in the region;the lack of patient trust and misconceptions intensify the resistance to coordination;the lagging in information technology construction limits the innovative development of nursing coordination.

The " no-accompany" service is an important measure to meet the patients′ needs for comprehensive, continuous, and high-quality diversified care and to enhance their medical experience. Starting in March 2024, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine launched a pilot " no-accompany" service in the breast surgery and dermatology wards. The hospital established a working team led by the nursing department and involving multiple administrative departments such as the medical affairs department, medical insurance office, and logistics management department. And the hospital has successfully advanced the implementation of the " no-accompany" ward program by establishing a multi-department collaborative management mechanism, standardizing the management of medical caregivers, developing a tiered fee scheme for the " no-accompany" service, and improving relevant service measures. The acceptance of the " no-accompany" service by patients increased from (3.93±0.83) in the second quarter of 2024 to (4.69±0.59) in the fourth quarter, and overall satisfaction rose from (4.18±0.73) to (4.50±0.54) (all P<0.001). The job competency of medical caregivers also improved significantly from (64.80±3.49) before starting work in March 2024 to (94.00±2.40) in the fourth quarter ( P<0.001). These findings provide a reference for the implementation of " no-accompany" services in public hospitals.

Objective To investigate the current status and barriers to implementing non-accompanied care services in medical institutions in Zhejiang Province,and to provide a basis for the improvement of standardized management of such services.Methods A self-designed questionnaire was conducted from September to October 2024 among all secondary and tertiary medical institutions in Zhejiang Province to assess the implementation status and barriers to non-accompanied care services.Results A total of 397 questionnaires were distributed,with 389 valid responses,yielding a valid response rate of 97.98％.Non-accompanied care services were implemented in 118 institutions(30.33％).Among these,90 institutions(76.27％)had established management systems for non-accompanied wards;71 institutions(60.17％)had a medical nursing assistant-to-bed ratio lower than 1∶5;41 institu-tions(34.75％)provided tiered training for medical nursing assistants;93 institutions(78.81％)required patients to bear the full cost of the service.Compared with secondary medical institutions,tertiary medical institutions have more complete management system for non-accompanied care services.The main obstacles hindering the development of non-accompanied care services include an imperfect management system for non-accompanied wards,a shortage of medical nursing assistants,a lack of standardized training for such assistants,inconsistent charging standards,and low acceptance among patients and their families.Conclusion The promotion of non-accompanied care services in medical institutions in Zhejiang Province has achieved initial success.However,challenges persist,including incomplete management systems,uneven development across hospital tiers,and imperfect charging mechanisms.It is recommended that relevant authorities strengthen policy support,enhance standardized training for healthcare nursing assistants,refine cost-sharing mechanisms,and improve the quality and sustainability of non-accompanied care services through multi-party collaboration.
