Objective To analyze the incidence and influencing factors of workplace violence (WPV) against nurses in tertiary hospitals in Western China, and to conduct a qualitative exploration based on the lived experiences of nurses who have suffered WPV. Methods A total of 1 294 nurses from 21 tertiary hospitals across 12 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities in western China were selected as the research subjects using a convenience sampling method. Investigation was performed among the nurses using the Hospital Workplace Violence Questionnaire and the Implementation Status of Hospital Violence Prevention Measures Questionnaire. Additionally, a total of 18 nurses who had experienced WPV were selected for semi-structured qualitative interviews. Results The overall incidence of WPV among the nurses was 47.5%, with incidences of psychological, physical, and sexual violence at 42.0%, 7.3%, and 3.5%, respectively. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that male nurses had a higher risk of experiencing WPV than female nurses (P<0.01); widowed/divorced nurses had a higher risk than unmarried nurses (P<0.05); both head nurses and department head nurses had a higher risk than general nurses (both P<0.01); and nurses with lower trust in hospitals had a higher risk than those with higher trust (P<0.01). Qualitative interviews revealed that WPV often stemmed from the accumulation of patients′ negative emotions during medical care, exacerbated by poor communication and unmet treatment expectations. Nurses tended to adopt avoidance and tolerance strategies when facing conflict, lacking effective coping skills. Following WPV incidents, nurses frequently experienced anxiety and burnout, relying mainly on self-regulation or confiding in colleagues to cope with the impact of WPV. Hospital responses to WPV are largely passive, with insufficient dedicated departments and psychological support mechanisms, indicating a need for improved institutional frameworks. Conclusion WPV among nurses in tertiary hospitals in Western China remains a serious concern. Hospital management should prioritize high-risk groups such as male and widowed/divorced nurses, and strengthen psychological support systems and standardized reporting procedures to mitigate WPV and to enhance nursing quality.

Objective To investigate the clinical significances of additional chromosome abnormalities and t(15;17) in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Methods A total of 90 newly diagnosed APL patients in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2007 to June 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. Patients with different chromosome karyotypes were divided into four groups: additional chromosome number abnormalities group (16 cases), additional chromosome structural abnormalities group (14 cases), additional chromosome number and structural abnormalities group (4 cases) and typical chromosome group (56 cases). According to whether the patient contained t(15;17), the patients were divided into group with t (15;17) and group without t (15;17). The short-term efficacy and survival of each group were analyzed and compared. Results The rate of complete remission in additional chromosome number abnormalities group, additional chromosome structural abnormalities group, additional chromosome number and structural abnormalities group and typical t(15;17) chromosome changes group were 56.3％(9/16), 100.0％(14/14), 25.0％(1/4) and 82.1％(46/56), the early mortality rates were 25.0％(4/16), 0 (0/14), 75.0％(3/4) and 8.9％ (5/56) respectively. Among them, the additional number and structural abnormalities group had lower complete remission rate and higher early mortality rate, and compared with other groups, the differences were statistically significant (all P< 0.05). The complete remission rates of the group with t (15;17) and the group without t (15;17) were 80.5％ (66/82) and 50.0％ (4/8), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant (P= 0.070). Conclusions APL patients with karyotypes with additional number and structural changes have low complete remission rate, high early mortality rate and poor prognosis. Patients with t(15;17)have a high rate of complete remission.

Objective To explore the work experience of specialty nurses for chronic wounds. Methods Five specialty nurses for chronic wounds were enrolled and given semi-structured in-depth interviews.The acquired data were analyzed with the 7-step analysis of Colaizzi. Result Three themes were extracted including responsibility and sense of mission, problems, gains and growth. Conclusions The responsibility is fundamental for the specialty nurses to hold their firm belief in their nursing career.They grow and achieve in their occupation by nursing the patients with chronic wounds.The nursing administration should understand the problems and help the work of chronic wounds specialists,take measures to clarify the responsibilities and roles of specialists in chronic wound nursing and provide necessary resource to support.
