【Objective】 To explore the effects of perceived risk of COVID-19 of college students on their anxiety and depression, as well as the roles of attention to negative information and perceived social support, so as to provide theoretical basis for colleges and universities to formulate corresponding intervention measures. 【Methods】 By the convenience sampling method, totally 1 404 college students from Shaanxi and Henan provinces were investigated online by using General Information Questionnaire, Perceived Risk of COVID-19 Pandemic Scale, Attention to Negative Information Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire, Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Perceived Social Support Scale. SPSS 20.0 was used for data analysis, Pearson correlation method was used to explore the correlation between variables. The mediating effect of attention to negative information and the moderating effect of perceived social support were analyzed by PROCESS. 【Results】 The scores of anxiety and depression of the 1 404 college students included in the study were 4.03±4.48 and 6.21±5.41, respectively. The detection rate of anxiety symptom was 29.9%, and that of depression symptom was 44.4%. The risk perception of COVID-19 epidemic of the college students was positively correlated with attention to negative information (r=0.373, P<0.001), anxiety (r=0.227, P<0.001), and depression (r=0.226, P<0.001). Anxiety (r=0.553, P<0.001) and depression (r=0.497, P<0.001) were positively correlated with attention to negative information, while perceived social support was negatively correlated with the risk perception of the COVID-19 (r=-0.154, P<0.001), attention to negative information (r=-0.259, P<0.001), anxiety (r=-0.321, P<0.001) and depression (r=-0.278, P<0.001). The risk perception of COVID-19 affected the anxiety and depression of the students mainly through the mediating effect of attention to negative information. The total effect of risk perception of COVID-19 and anxiety was 0.227, and the mediating effect accounted for 80.18% of the total effect. The total effect of risk perception of COVID-19 and depression was 0.228, and the mediating effect accounted for 90.35% of the total effect. Perceived social support played a moderating role in the last half of this mediating model. 【Conclusion】 Risk perception of COVID-19 indirectly affects the occurrence of anxiety and depression in college students through attention to negative information, and perceived social support plays a moderating role in this mediating model. The findings suggest that when a risk event occurs, colleges and universities should pay attention to guiding students to adjust their attentional bias to external information, and give students enough care and support to improve their mental health.

Objective:To explore transition care needs among the parents of children with primary nephrotic syndrome and analyze the influencing factors.Methods:With convenient sampling method, parents of children with primary nephrotic syndrome were selected in the children's nephrology department of a tertiary grade A hospital in Shandong province. A total of 240 parents were enrolled in the study and they were investigated by using a self-designed questionnaire of transitional care needs of parents of children with primary nephrotic syndrome.Results:The total score of transitional care needs for parents was (4.12±1.08) points. The demand for disease knowledge, complication prevention and condition monitoring was the highest (4.67±0.53) points. 52.80% (113/214) of parents hope to receive transitional care services through network communication. 64.49% (138/214) of the parents want specialist doctors and nurses to provide nursing services for them. Multivariate stepwise regression analysis showed that age, education level, monthly income, hospitalization time and hormone use time of the children were the factors influencing the parents' demand for transitional care services ( P < 0.01). Conclusion:Parents of children with primary nephrotic syndrome have a high demand for transitional care. It is suggested to give full play to the leading role of professional medical teams and gradually form a hospital-community linkage transitional nursing mode; Parents of children with different age, education level, monthly income, hospitalization time and hormone use time have different needs for transitional care thus individualized transitional nursing for different patients are expected.

Objective:To investigate the status of the professional construction of head nurses in the tertiary hospitals of Shandong Province, and to master the professional cognition and attitude of the head nurses, and to provide reference for the formulation of the professional construction plan for the head nurses in the tertiary hospitals.Methods:A cross-sectional survey of 2 629 head nurses from 55 tertiary hospitals in Shandong Province was conducted using a self-designed questionnaire survey on the status of professional construction of head nurses in tertiary hospitals in Shandong Province.Results:The selection and training system of the head nurses in the tertiary hospitals in Shandong Province was mature. 93.00%(2 357/2 534) of the head nurses were undergraduate degrees, 18.40%(465/2 534) of the head nurses used all the working hours for nursing management, and 86.00%(2 179/2 534) were the main economic sources with the current position; 68.20%(1 728/2 534) were believed that the head nurse should be a trained nurse, 87.90%(2 227/2 534) thought that the head nurse′s professional construction was necessary, and the professional feasibility score was 77.93±19.75. The regression analysis showed that the factors affecting the head nurse′s own professional construction were age, satisfaction with salary satisfaction and self-worth ( P<0.05); 32.50%(257/791) of the head nurses suggested improving the management training system, 20.61%(163/791) recommended that the hospital should pay attention to the professional construction of the head nurse, and 7.33%(58/791) recommended establishing the standardization of professional standards. Conclusions:To improve the investment time of the head nurses and encourage the head nurses to continue the education management; the hospital should appropriately reduce the age requirements of the head nurses and improve the salary; establish a sound professional system and management training system for the head nurses, and comprehensively recommend the head nurses.

Objective: To investigate the self-reported prevalence, clinical characteristics, complications of allergic rhinitis (AR) and the sensitization of outdoor air pollen allergens in children in the Inner mongolia grassland region. Methods: A multistage, stratified and random clustered sampling with a face-to-face interview survey study in children from 0 to 17 years old was performed together with 10 common allergen skin prick tests (SPT) and measurements of the daily pollen count in 6 regions in the Inner mongolia grassland region from May to August of 2015. SAS 9.4 software was used for data analysis. Results: A total of 2 443 subjects completed the study. The self-reported prevalence of AR was 26.6%. The prevalence of boys was higher than that of girls (28.8% vs 24.3%, χ²=6.157, P<0.05). Subjects from urban areas showed higher prevalence than rural areas (34.7% vs 18.8%, χ²=79.107, P<0.05). There was significant regional difference in the prevalence of AR among the six areas investigated (χ²=221.416, P<0.05). The main clinical symptoms of AR were sneezing (88.2%) and nasal congestion (78.6%). Among combined diseases, asthma accounted for 16.5% (107/650), rhinoconjunctivitis accounted for 47.9% (311/650). The peak season of AR was April and July, with the top SPT positive allergens of Artemisia species and chenopodium in this area. Conclusions The prevalence AR in children in the Inner mongolia grassland region is extremely high. Sneezing is the main clinical symptom. Rhinoconjunctivitis is the most common combined disease. High summer and autumn pollen exposure is the main cause of AR.

Two-way referral system is an important measure to promote the rational distribution of medical resources and promote the health of patients, but now there is a typical characteristic of"referrals up easy but downward referral difficult". while the transitional care of downward referral patients is one of the important impetus to promote the implementation of downward referral, this paper summarizes the necessity, connotation, main service forms, application effects and problem analysis status of the transitional referral of patients in the two-way referral mode in our country, in order to provide the basis for the establishment of a nursing security system suitable for two-way referral of patients.
