Objective To construct the key-point guidelines of bowel preparation for elderly patients with colonoscopy. Methods The guidelines were made based on literature review,theoretical analysis,qualitative interview.Then they were determined by 14 clinical nurse specialists, nursing education experts and medical experts from 6 provinces or cities through two rounds of expert consultations. Results The response rate of two rounds'questionnaire was 100.00%. The authority of experts coefficient in the two rounds were 0.89. The coefficients of variation of the first and second rounds were respectively 0.07~0.27 and 0.05~0.13. The coordination coefficients for the 2 rounds were 0.377 and 0.404 respectively (Χ2=105.473 and 124.307,P<0.001).In the first round,the average of the importance rating was 3.50~4.95, with a standard deviation of 0.35~0.95.In the second round,the average of the importance rating was 4.71~4.93,with a standard deviation of 0.27~0.61.The key-point guidelines of bowel preparation included 3 key points for bowel preparation, 4 key moments,7 key guidance contents, 4 criteria for the process of bowel preparation and the corresponding remedial measures. Conclusion This study established the key-point guidelines of bowel preparation for elderly patientsand the degree of enthusiasm,authority,coordination and concentration of the experts was high so as to provide a reference for the clinical implementation of standardized bowel preparation guidance.

Objective To explore the factors affecting non-compliance in bowel preparation for patients undergoing colonoscopy and to provide evidence for improving patients' compliance. Methods Guided by the phenomenological research method, semi-structured interviews were performed among 16 patients who had poor bowel preparation for colonoscopy at the digestive endoscopy center in 3 Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Suzhou from January to April 2017. The data were analyzed by Colaizzi analysis method. Results Through the interviews, the factors influencing bowel preparation compliance were summed up into 3 themes: the neglect of the importance of strict compliance with bowel preparation, the inability to tolerate bowel preparation, and lack of specialized knowledge of bowel preparation. Conclusions To improve the compliance of bowel preparation for patients undergoing colonoscopy, medical staff should correctly guide the patients to understand the importance of bowel preparation and ensure the full grasp of the specific requirements, on the other hand, should actively strive to improve the patient's tolerance of bowel preparation.

Objective To explore the symptom burden of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients and to compare the differences of symptom burden of IBD patients among different general information, disease types, disease state. Methods From April to May 2017, IBD patients in IBD information supporting platform patients of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were selected as subjects by convenience sampling. The questionnaire survey was carried out with the self-designed general information questionnaire and the adapted Memorial symptom assessment scale (MSAS) sent out by WeChat. The rank test was used to analyze the status of disease burden among patients with different characteristics. Results A total of 265 valid questionnaires were collected totally. There were 32.0 (26.0,37.0) symptoms which showed one week self-reported by 264 patients. Anenergia was with one of the highest rates of symptom. Anxiety was with one of the highest rates of phychological symptom. The score of symptom burden was 60.0 (24.7, 102.4). Anenergia and intestinal problems were common in patients with ulcerative colitis. Fatigue, malnutrition and psychological problems were common in patients with Crohn's disease. There were significant differences in scores of total symptom burden among IBD patients with a different situation in disease activities, duration courses, absenteeism or asking for leave due to disease, suspension of schooling or resignation because of disease, whether living with family or not (P<0.05). Conclusions IBD brings serious physical and mental symptom burden to patients. Nurses should strengthen comprehensive assessment and management of symptoms especially in anenergia and phychological symptoms. And then, nurses should take effective nursing intervention according to symptom with different characteristics so as to ease the symptom burden for patients and improve life quality.

Objective To investigate the effect of bowel preparation before colonoscopy and its influencing factors. Methods A total of 283 patients with colonoscopy were recruited by convenience sampling method. They were investigated with basic information questionnaire of bowel preparation and their intestinal cleanliness were assessed by the Ottawa Assessment Scale. The status of bowel preparation and it′s influenced factors were analyzed. Results The total score of Ottawa Assessment Scale was (5.37 ± 2.22) points, and the efficiency of intestinal cleaning was only 59%(167/283). Logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR=1.033, P=0.013); history of chronic constipation (OR=10.341, P=0.000);history of appendectomy (OR=5.349, P=0.007); walking time during medication (OR=0.350, P=0.000);incomplete intake of the preparation (OR=0.078, P=0.000), the time interval between the initiation of ingestion and the onset of bowel activity (OR=1.034, P=0.000), defecation frequency (OR =0.794, P=0.004);characteristics of last stool (OR=0.159, P=0.000) were influencing factors of intestinal cleanliness. Conclusions The intestinal cleanliness of patients with colonoscopy is still at a low level. In the future, medical personnel should identify patients with risk factors early, and give them specific bowel preparation, so as to improve the quality of bowel preparation effectively.

Objective To explore the reliability of handgrip strength test for evaluating mobility in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Methods Sixty-one COPD patients in stable stage were measured for handgrip strength and 6-minute walking test(6MWT).The receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC) was calculated to determine the best cutoff points of handgrip strength.Results Handgrip strength was (33.72-±7.47) kgf,6MWD was (437.06±97.96) m,handgrip strength was moderately correlated with 6MWD (r=0.404,P=0.001).6MWD≥350 m was used to classify two groups,and there was significant difference between two groups(P＜0.05).Area under the curv e was 0.722,and the best cutoff points was 32.8 kgf.Conclusion Handgrip strength test can be a useful tool to quickly identify mobility in patients with stable COPD.

Objective To investigate the effect of transitional care on postpartum negative mood for puerpera. Methods One hundred sixty eligible puerperas were recruited between January 2013 and October 2014. By order of hospitalization, participants were randomly assigned into two groups. The control group (80 cases) received routine care. The study group received transitional care which consisted of predischarge assessment, structured home visits and telephone follow-ups, psychological rehabilitation group activities, phone and internet consulting services within six months after discharge. Screenings of predischarge depression and anxiety symptoms of the study group were done by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Evaluations of depression and anxiety symptoms of two groups were done by Edinburgh postnatal depression scale (EPDS) and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)on postpartum forty-two days and six months. Results There were no differences in demographics, maternal indicators and completion of follow-up between groups (P > 0.05). On postpartum forty-two days, the study group had significantly better depression and anxiety scores (P < 0.05), the depression and anxiety scores of study group were 7.71 ± 2.61and 44.3 ± 6.1, those of control group were 8.31 ± 2.72 and 47.6 ± 5.4. There were no differences in the incidences of depression and anxiety between the two groups (P>0.05). On postpartum six months, the study group had significantly better depression and anxiety scores, less incidences of depression and anxiety than the control group (P<0.05). The depression and anxiety scores of the study
group were 7.13±2.52 and 42.6±6.0, those of control group were 8.87±2.66 and 48.8±5.9. The incidences of depression and anxiety of study group were 6.4%(5/78)and 7.7%(6/78), those of control group were both 26.0%(20/77). Analysis of multiple linear regression suggested that age, education level and family income would affect transitional care intervention on postpartum depression. Conclusions This study established a nurse-led transitional care model which selected the gynecology and obstetrics professional nurse as advanced practice nurse. Results demonstrated that transitional care was effective on improving maternal postpartum depression and anxiety.
