【Objective】 To compare the efficacy of transurethral columnar balloon dilation of the prostate (TUCBDP) and transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) in the treatment of small volume prostatic hyperplasia. 【Methods】 A total of 96 patients with small volume prostatic hyperplasia diagnosed in our hospital during Jan.2019 and Jan.2021 were enrolled and divided into the observation group and control group,with 48 patients in either group. The observation group received TUCBDP while the control group TURP. The International Prostate Symptom score (IPSS),Quality of Life Score (QOL), international index of erectile function-erectile function (IIEF-EF),maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax),postvoid residual urine (PVR) and maximum detrusor pressure (MDP) of the two groups were compared before surgery and 24 months after surgery. The surgery-related complications and occurrence of new or aggravated sexual dysfunction were observed. 【Results】 Both groups successfully completed the treatment. The operation time and indwelling catheterization time were shorter in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). The scores of QOL,IPSS and IIEF-EF,the levels of Qmax,PVR and MDP of both groups 24 months after surgery were significantly improved compared with those before surgery (P<0.05). The IPSS score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group 24 months after surgery (P<0.05),while the IIEF-EF score and Qmax of the observation group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). The incidences of surgery-related complications and new or aggravated sexual dysfunction were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 TUCBDP is significantly effective in the treatment of small volume prostatic hyperplasia,showing greater advantages than TURP in improving postoperative IPSS,IIEF-EF score and Qmax,with higher safety.

【Objective】 To investigate the efficacy of in vitro local high-frequency hyperthermia combined with drugs in the treatment of type Ⅲb chronic prostatitis (CP). 【Methods】 A total of 148 patients with type Ⅲb CP treated in our hospital during Jun.2020 and Jun.2022 were randomly divided into control group (n=74) and combination group (n=74). The control group received only drug treatment, while the combination group received extracorporeal local high-frequency hyperthermia treatment. The National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI), maximum urinary flow rate (MFR), average urinary flow rate (AFR) and International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) score were compared between the two groups. 【Results】 There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of NIH-CPSI, MFR, AFR and IIEF-5 score before treatment(P>0.05). After treatment, these indexes increased in both groups (P<0.05), and the improvements in the combination group were more significant (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Medication combined with in vitro local high-frequency hyperthermia is effective in improving the clinical symptoms of type Ⅲb CP, which is worth clinical promotion.

Objective:To understand the real experience of work alienation among nurses with master′s degrees working in first-class hospitals.Methods:A descriptive qualitative research method of qualitative research was employed to conduct in-depth interviews with 15 nurses with master′s degrees from five tertiary first-class hospitals in Tianjin from January 2022 to March 2022. Nvivo 12 software was used to manage the interview data. The metic analysis method was used to refine the themes and subthemes.Results:Three themes were: work alienation performance of nurses with master′s degree (negative emotional experience, passive behavioural performance), reasons for work alienation of nurses with master′s degree (low self-worth, estranged coworker relationships and ambiguous work plan), needs of professional development coping with work alienation (needs of scientific research work, needs of scientific promotion system and salary performance, needs of organizational recognition and training and learning).Conclusions:Nurses with master′s degrees experience work alienation. Managers are advised to focus on improve these nurses′ alienation performance, explore the reasons and meet their personal needs with nursing job degrees, which then may in turn improve their sense of self-worth, and assist in developing positive attitude towards nursing work and reducing work alienation.

Objective:To investigate the filial piety value level and the influencing factors of filial piety among children whose parents were diagnosed as advanced cancer.Methods:A convenient sampling method was used to recruit 383 participants in Tumor Hospital, Tianjin Medical University.Results:The total score of Filial Piety Value Scale among children whose parents were advanced cancer patients was (66.50±4.10) . The age of the patient, the number of hospitalization and the degree of awareness of the condition, the age of the children, whether the child was the-only-child, whether the child was living with the patient, and the average daily care time influenced the filial piety values of children whose parents were advanced cancer patients ( Z=16.64-62.94, U=2.04-4.27, P<0.05). Conclusion:Children whose parents were with advanced cancer have a better understanding of filial piety. Nurses understand the values of filial piety of children in the context of traditional filial piety and family care mode in China, which can enhance the experience of filial piety and filial piety of both children and parents, also improve the mental health problems of patients, and finally improve the quality of life of patients with advanced cancer.

Objective:To test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Quality of Life in Adult Cancer Survivors (QLACS) in Chinese cancer Survivors.Methods:We translated the scale following the procedure of translation, integration and back translation. After modifying the scale and adapting it in Chinese culture, the reliability and validity of the QLACS scale was tested in a large sample of 222 cancer survivors.Results:The Chinese version of QLACS had 47 items with a total of twelve domains. Principal component analysis resulted in an 8-factor structure of the explaining 74.393% of the seven generic domains′ variance, and an 5-factor structure of the explaining 71.937% of the five cancer-specific domains′ variance. The item level content validity index (I-CVI) was 0.89-1.00, and the total content average content validity index (S-CVI/) was 0.93. The Cronbach′s α coefficient for the total QLACS score was 0.935, and 0.933 for generic domains, and 0.865 for cancer-specific domains.Conclusions:The Chinese version of QLACS appears to possess adequate validity, reliability and internal consistency. The newly translated Chinese version of QLACS may be used to assess the quality of cancer survivors in China.

Objective:To develop an assessment instrument for evaluating Filial Piety Value Scale among Children Whose Parents were Advanced Cancer Patients and to test the reliability and validity of the tool.Methods:Through literature review, semi-structured interview and expert letter consultation, the first version of the Filial Piety Value Scale (FVS) was developed. A convenience sampling method was adopted to recruit 352 children of patients with advanced cancer as respondents. Item analysis, reliability and validity were adopted to evaluate the items, and finally the formal version of FVS was developed.Results:The Internal Consistency of FVS was 0.86, and the content validity index of each item was 0.93-1.00.Two factors were extracted from exploratory factor analysis, and the cumulative contribution rate of variance was 60.25%. The two factors were named as Care (10 items) and Respect (5 items).The correlation coefficient between the total score of FVS and the total score of Filial Piety Values Index (FVI) was 0.496, and the correlation coefficient between the FVS total score and FVI Care and Respect score was 0.50 and 0.46, and the results were statistically significant ( P<0.01). Conclusion:The Filial Piety Value Scale of children whose parents were advanced cancer patients has good reliability and validity, which can be used to evaluate the filial piety value of children whose parents are advanced cancer.

Objective: To explore these adults′ perspective with filial piety and as well to elucidate adults′experience and filial caring behaviour whose parents were diagnosed as advanced cancer. Methods: This is a qualitative study. A semi-structured and individual in-depth interview guide was designed and utilised to explore perspectives of 15 adults whose parents were diagnosed as advanced cancer. Thematic analysis method was adopted to analyse the data, which were synthesised into themes and subthemes. Results: Three main themes were explicated: emotional experience, filial caring behaviours for parents and dilemmas and pressures. These adults adopted obedience, accompany, improving quality of life, completing parents’ wish to fulfil their commitment and filial piety during taking care of their cancer parents. However, they encountered ethical dilemmas regarding disclosure or non-disclosure cancer diagnosis to their parents. Conclusions Due to the profound influence of Chinese traditional culture, the adults whose parents were diagnosed as advanced cancer committed their filial caring behaviour to their parents very wholeheartedly and encountered difficulties and dilemmas. Therefore, oncology nurses are advised to share their love to cancer patients, to work with compassion and sympathy and support them by assisting with taking care of their patients, which in turn may facilitate their filial caring behaviours, decrease their pressure and negative emotions.

When cancer patients lose their independence and turn to depend on others after illness, their sense of personal value and meaning of life gradually lose, psychological pain increase, depression and anxiety occur, and their will to survive is lost because of despair and sense of burden towards other people. This paper introduces a new type of psychotherapy aiming at improving the sense of life value of cancer survivors, i.e. meaning-centered group psychotherapy. It summarizes the related concepts and theoretical sources, implementation methods and applications, and enlightenment of the application of this therapy in cancer survivors in China, with a view to providing clinical nurses with new nursing methods for cancer survivors.

Objective To understand the growth experiences of senior nurses in coping with the death of patients so as to provide reference for clinical nursing management and teaching.Methods A phenomenological research method of qualitative study was employed in this study.Twenty-five senior nurses were in-depth interviewed with semi-structured interview guide.Thematic analysis method was adopted to collect and analyze the data,which were then organized into themes and subthemes.Results Three themes were "changes in growth" "ways to grow" and "unmet needs".Senior nurses could cope with patients' death well through accumulation and sharing of clinical experience,as they reorganized of death more definitely,their emotional response transferred reasonable,their coping strategy became matured,whereas the senior nurses still need help in the areas of psychological adaption,social support and professional theory education.Conclusions It is suggested that nursing managers should value the experience sharing and teaching function of senior oncology nurses,pay attention to the physical-mental health of senior nurses and provide professional psychosocial support to them.Otherwise,it is important to provide all oncology nurses with systematic knowledge training concerning hospice/death education to promote their career development ultimately.

Objective To understand the needs for nursing services of terminal cancer patients from the perspective of patients' family members, for further development of strategy and providing a basis to improve the quality of terminal care. Methods Using the phenomenological approach of qualitative research, 16 family members of terminal cancer patients were interviewed with semi-structured interview outline. Colaizzi's analytical method was adopted to analyze the data, which were then organized into themes and sub-themes. Results The needs of the terminal cancer patients' families can be summarized into four subjects:to improve patients' quality of life, to offer psychological support, to maintain the terminal patients' hope and dignity, and to satisfy the needs of family members. Conclusions It is suggested that nurses should improve their clinical skills and symptom management skills to keep terminal patients comfortable. At the same time, nurses are supposed to enhance communication skills and focus on psychological support of patients. In addition, nurses should pay high attention to terminal cancer patients's piritual support and hope maintenance, helping patients and their families prepare for death in the Chinese traditional cultural context.
