ABSTRACT
Objective:To translate the Pressure Ulcer Quality of Life Questionnaire (PU-QOL) into Chinese and test its reliability and validity.Methods:The PU-QOL was translated, back translated, cross-cultural debugged and pre-investigated to form the Chinese version of PU-QOL. From August 2020 to November 2021, 405 patients with PU in wound clinics of two third-class hospitals in north and south regions of China were conveniently selected as the research objects.Results:The Chinese version of PU-QOL had 74 items. The content validity of the items was 0.80 to 1.00 and the content validity of the scale level was 0.95. Exploratory factor analysis extracted 7 common factors and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 60.79%. Each problem area is moderately correlated with the 12-Item Short Form Survey (SF-12), and the correlation coefficient between each dimension (0.13-0.28) was less than the correlation coefficient between each dimension and the total score of the scale and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.01). The Cronbach′s α coefficient was 0.84 and the retest reliability was 0.92. Conclusions:The Chinese version of PU-QOL questionnaire was proved to be a good instrument with acceptable reliability and validity, which can be used as a tool for evaluating quality of life of patients with PU in China.
ABSTRACT
The Kirkpatrick Model has been widely used in nursing staff training. This paper reviews the development, content and application of Coriolis evaluation model in nursing training, in order to provide reference for improving nursing training methods and improving the professional quality of nursing staff.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate whether systemic inflammatory response syndrome(SIRS) after cerebral infarction is associated with poor outcome and its associated clinical factors.Methods We prospectively studied 500 patients with cerebral infarction.recorded the associated clinical factors on presentation and calculated the mortality at 21 st day.Results There are 85 SIRS patients in 500 patients with cerebral infarction,31 with total anterior cerebral infarction(TACI),34 with partial anterior cerebral infarction(PACI),15 with posterior cerebral infarction(POCI)and 5 with lacunar cerebral infarction (LACI).The frequency of SIRS was positively correlated with mortality rate according to Oxfordshire Commanity Stroke Project(OCSP)subtypes in cerebral infarction patients with fever(Spearman correlation coefficient=1.0:P＜0.001).Single factor analysis showed that the risk factors for both SIRS and mortality of cerebral infarction were as follows:age,infection,48h Chinese Stroke Scale score,48h Glassgow score,OCSP subtypes and dysphagia.Diabetes Was the risk factor for SIRS.but had no effect on mortality.On Cox regression,48h Glassgow score was the sole independent risk factor of outcome.However.if SIRS was included in the formula.P＞0.05.ConclusionsSIRS is the predictor of poor outcome after acute cerebral infarction.It is important to prevent SIRS especially in TACI and POCI.Diabetes is the risk factor for SIBS.but has no effect on mortality.
