Objective? To explore the status quo of work-life balance and resilience of nurses in second pregnancy, to analyze the correlation between the two and to provide a reference for improving mental health of nurses in second pregnancy. Methods? The nurses in second pregnancy from 4 Class Ⅲ hospitals in Huzhou were selected using convenient sampling and investigated with the general demographic information questionnaire, Work-life Balance Scale, Chinese Medical and Nursing Staff Resilience Scale between January and April 2018. Totally 465 questionnaires were distributed and 460 of them were collected, with a valid collection rate of 98.92%. Results? The 460 nurses' work-life balance score totaled (37.44±7.84) and their resilience totaled (54.76±9.27). The two were positively correlated with each other (r=0.314,P=0.008). There was a statistically significant difference in the scores of resilience between nurses in the second trimester of pregnancy with different working years, professional titles, and monthly household income (P<0.05). Work-life balance was the main influence factor for the resilience of nurses in second pregnancy. Conclusions? The work-life balance and resilience of nurses in second pregnancy stay has relevance. The higher their work-life balance is, the stronger their resilience. Nursing managers may consider flexible working time and team management, reduce working pressure over nurses in second pregnancy, and improve work-life balance. Meanwhile, nurses themselves, spouses and families should work together to improve the nurses' resilience in the face of daily stressors.

?? [Abstract]? Objective? To explore the effects of reciprocal behavior on perceived stress among nurses during the second pregnancy. Methods? From January to March 2018, we selected clinical nurses during the second pregnancy at five Class Ⅲ hospitals in Zhejiang as subjects by convenience sampling. The questionnaire survey was carried out with the employee reciprocal behavior questionnaire and the Chinese version Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS) to explore the correlation between them. A total of 500 questionnaires were sent out and 482 valid of them were collected with 96.40% for the valid recovery rate. Results? Among 482 nurses during the second pregnancy, the scores of reciprocal behavior and perceived stress were (42.35±8.65) and (38.38±7.58) respectively. Perceived stress of 33.61% of nurses during the second pregnancy was at a normal level. Reciprocal behavior had a negative correlation with the perceived stress (r=-0.411,P< 0.01). Hierarchical regression analysis showed that reciprocal behavior was the influencing factor of the perceived stress of nurses during the second pregnancy. Conclusions? Reciprocal behavior has the influence on perceived stress among nurses during the second pregnancy which points out that managers and individuals can improve reciprocal behavior so as to reduce the stress of nurses during the second pregnancy.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the current situation of anticoagulant therapy for patients with non-valvular atrial fibril-lation,and to provide reference for standardized anticoagulant therapy. METHODS:A total of 1056 patients with non-valvular atri-al fibrillation were collected from our hospital during Jul. 2015-Jun. 2016. According to 2012 European Society of Cardiology Guide-lines for the Management of Atrial Fibrillation,the risks of thrombosis and hemorrhage were evaluated,and the standardized anti-coagulant therapy was also evaluated. RESULTS:Among 1056 patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation,the number of patients with thrombosis risk score ≥1 was 1028,accounting for 97.3%. 763 patients received antithrombosis therapy,and only 139 pa-tients were given warfarin anticoagulant therapy. The international normalized ratio(INR)of prothrombin time in just 30.9% of pa-tients receiving warfarin was in line with the standard before discharge. CONCLUSIONS:The anticoagulant therapy for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation is still not optimistic,and effective measure should be adopted to improve the standardization of anticoagulant therapy in the patients with atrial fibrillation.
