Objective:To develop an electronic information platform-based assessment tool for entrustable professional activities (EPAs) of master of nursing specialist (MNS) students.Methods:The study used the content analysis method to construct the draft of the assessment tool, which was finalized using the expert meeting method. An electronic information platform was developed based on the assessment tool. The functions of the platform was optimized using the focus group interview method.Results:Based on previous research on the EPA framework for MNS students, an EPA assessment tool was developed, including an assessment form and an assessment protocol. The assessment form consisted of three parts: description of the EPAs, supervision level, and narrative feedback. The assessment protocol covered the assessment objects, assessment initiation strategy, assessment implementation-entrustment decision making, assessment cycle, and quality control. The electronic information platform includes both web-based and mobile app interfaces, with user roles for clinical instructors, graduate students, and project administrators, and with functions such as assessment application, assessment initiation, historical assessment review, and assessment information management.Conclusions:The study developed an EPA assessment tool for MNS students. The tool relies on the convenience and efficiency of the electronic information platform, facilitates clinical instructors in observing the comprehensive performance of MNS students in multiple competencies, and promotes postgraduate students' professional development. Future research will further explore the effectiveness of this tool in assessing clinical practice competencies of MNS students, with the aim of advancing the practice of EPAs in nursing masters' education.

Objective To investigate the performance of different methods in common autoantibody detec-tion,and to provide basis for the detection strategy of autoantibody.Methods A total of 2 657 cases were in-cluded in this study,whose serum antinuclear antibody(ANA)by indirect immunofluorescence method(IIF)and antinuclear antibody spectrum(ANAs,a total of 15 antibodies)by immunoblot method(IB)were tested simultaneously,and anti-double strand DNA antibody(anti-dsDNA antibody)were tested by IIF,enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)and IB.ANCA and ANCA spectrum[anti-myeloperoxidase antibody(anti-MPO antibody),anti-protease 3 antibody(anti-PR3 antibody)]were tested by IIF and ELISA respec-tively in 2 348 cases.Results Firstly,the detection rate of ANA was significantly higher than that of ANAs(57.77%vs.30.64%,P<0.001).Among the specimens detected with ANA,40.78%detected at least one specific antibody positive.Among the specimens detected with ANAs positive,ANA was not detected in 23.10%of cases.Secondly,the ANA positive cases were mainly of lower titers,and cases with titer of ≤1∶320 accounted for 84.95%of the total detected cases.But the higher the titer,the higher the detection rate of ANAs specific antibodies(29.63%in 1∶100,48.56%in 1∶320,77.78%in 1∶1 000,92.42%in≥1∶3 200).Thirdly,among the specimens detected ANAs positive,the composition ratios of anti-Scl-70,anti-PM-Scl and anti-PCNA antibodies in ANA positive cases was significantly lower than those in ANA negative cases(P<0.001).Fourthly,the detection rate of anti-dsDNA antibody by ELISA was the highest(4.14%),which was significantly higher than those by IIF or IB(both P<0.001),and the difference in detection efficacy of the latter two methods was also statistically significant(P<0.001).Even so,the IIF and IB for the detection of anti-dsDNA antibody still had a certain complementary effect on ELISA.Fifthly,the positive rate of ANCA by IIF was significantly higher than that of ANCA spectrum(9.16%vs.2.43%),but among those who were detected anti-MPO antibodies and/or anti-PR3 antibodies positive,47.37%were ANCA negative.Conclusion Different methods for detecting autoantibodies have significantly different detection efficacy,and it is partic-ularly necessary to adopt correct detection strategies based on evidence-based medicine.
