During hospitalization in the ICU, rehabilitation exercises were recognized as a crucial method for enhancing patients′ quality of life, and the volume of exercise was shown to significantly influence the effectiveness of rehabilitation for ICU patients. This article reviews the definition of exercise volume in the context of ICU patient rehabilitation, the current status of reporting, its correlation with patient outcomes, and the available measurement tools. The aim is to provide a foundational reference for quantitative research on exercise rehabilitation in ICUs within our country.

Few studies have evaluated the global burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adolescents and young adults (AYAs). Methods: Age-standardized rates of incidence (ASIR), mortality (ASMR), and disability-adjusted life-years (ASDR) were used to describe the CKD burden in AYAs. The estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) were calculated to evaluate the temporal trends from 1990 to 2019. Risk factors were calculated by population attributable fractions. Results: In 2019, the ASIR, ASMR, and ASDR of CKD in AYAs were 32.21 (95% uncertainty interval [UI], 23.73–40.81) per 100,000, 2.86 (2.61–3.11) per 100,000 and 236.85 (209.03–268.91) per 100,000, respectively. The ASIR was higher among females than males, whereas the ASMR was higher among males than females in 2019. From 1990 to 2019, significant increases in ASIR were found for CKD (EAPC, 0.98%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.95%–1.01%), although the ASMR had decreased (EAPC, –0.40%; 95% CI, –0.56% to –0.24%). The largest increase in ASIR was observed in countries with a middle sociodemographic index (SDI) (EAPC, 1.30%; 95% CI, 1.28%–1.33%), while the largest increase in ASMR was observed in high SDI. Globally, the proportional contribution of risk factors for CKD mortality varied across regions, with the highest proportions of high fasting plasma glucose being 14.04% in low SDI, compared with 24.01% in high SDI. Conclusion: CKD is a growing global health problem in AYAs, especially in countries with a middle SDI. Targeted measures are needed to address the rising burden of CKD in AYAs, focusing on prevention, early diagnosis, and reducing disparities.

Background::Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and diameter, stiffness, and wave reflections, are independent and important clinical biomarkers and risk predictors for cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of the present study was to establish nationwide reference values of carotid properties for healthy Chinese adults and to explore potential clinical determinants.Methods::A total of 3053 healthy Han Chinese adults (1922 women) aged 18-79 years were enrolled at 28 collaborating tertiary centers throughout China between April 2021 and July 2022. The real-time tracking of common carotid artery walls was achieved by the radio frequency (RF) ultrasound system. The IMT, diameter, compliance coefficient, β stiffness, local pulse wave velocity (PWV), local systolic blood pressure, augmented pressure (AP), and augmentation index (AIx) were then automatically measured and reported. Data were stratified by age groups and sex. The relationships between age and carotid property parameters were analyzed by Jonckheere-Terpstra test and simple linear regressions. The major clinical determinants of carotid properties were identified by Pearson’s correlation, multiple linear regression, and analyses of covariance.Results::All the parameters of carotid properties demonstrated significantly age-related trajectories. Women showed thinner IMT, smaller carotid diameter, larger AP, and AIx than men. The β stiffness and PWV were significantly higher in men than women before forties, but the differences reversed after that. The increase rate of carotid IMT (5.5 μm/year in women and 5.8 μm/year in men) and diameter (0.03 mm/year in both men and women) were similar between men and women. For the stiffness and wave reflections, women showed significantly larger age-related variations than men as demonstrated by steeper regression slopes (all P for age by sex interaction <0.05). The blood pressures, body mass index (BMI), and triglyceride levels were identified as major clinical determinants of carotid properties with adjustment of age and sex. Conclusions::The age- and sex-specific reference values of carotid properties measured by RF ultrasound for healthy Chinese adults were established. The blood pressures, BMI, and triglyceride levels should be considered for clinical application of corresponding reference values.

Objective:To translate the Nurse Delirium Care Competency Scale (NDCCS) into Chinese and test the validity and reliability of Chinese version of NDCCS among ICU nurses.Methods:According to Brislin translation model, the Chinese version of NDCCS was developed by forward translation, back translation, cross-cultural adaptation and pre-survey. From October to December of 2023, 338 ICU nurses from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine were selected by cross-sectional survey to test the reliability and validity of Chinese version of NDCCS.Results:A total of 329 valid questionnaires were collected. There were 50 males and 279 females, aged 20-53 years old. The Chinese version of NDCCS included 6 dimensions and 27 items. The scale-level content validity value was 0.985, and the item-level content validity value was 0.800-1.000. Exploratory factor analysis showed a six-factor structure, the cumulative variance contribution rate was 75.700%, the Cronbach′s α coefficients of the scale amount table were 0.952, and the Cronbach′s α coefficients of the dimensions were 0.811- 0.936,and the retest reliability was 0.932.Conclusions:The Chinese version of the NDCCS has good reliability and validity, and it is suitable for assessing the delirium care competence of ICU nurses in China.

This article reviewed the concept, assessment tools, and influencing factors of nursing information security, aiming to provide references for hospital nursing managers to effectively assess information security and improve nurses′ information literacy.

Objective:To optimize the accuracy of the intelligent hand hygiene system to monitor the hand hygiene timing warning, and provide a reference basis for healthcare workers to apply the intelligent hand hygiene system.Methods:Using a single-sample diagnostic pilot study method, 62 clinical nurses wearing smart badges working in the intensive care unit of Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine in Hangzhou, from December 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021 were selected by convenience sampling methods. Direct observation was used as the gold standard. The accuracy of the warning timing of the intelligent hand hygiene monitoring system was optimized through adjusting the bed sensing rang,adjusting the time setting, adjusting the time settings according to the physical space of the ward and adding posture recognition.Results:The sensitivity of adjusting the bed sensing range was 0.935 (95% CI 0.918-0.949); the specificity was 0.008 (95% CI 0.001-0.074). The sensitivity of the temporal setting based on the physical space of the ward was 0.932(95% CI 0.915-0.946); the specificity was 0.205 (95% CI 0.087-0.410). The false positive rate with gesture recognition turned on was 86.1% higher than the false positive rate without gesture recognition which was 79.5%. The diagnostic OR based on the temporal setting of the physical space of the ward was the largest at 3.517(95% CI 1.213-10.193). Conclusions:The intelligent hand hygiene system exhibits high accuracy in monitoring hand hygiene timing. Adjusting the bed sensing range and individualizing the timing settings according to the physical space of the ward can improve the accuracy. Further optimization is needed for posture recognition to improve the accuracy.
