RESUMEN
Objective@#To understand the epidemiological characteristics of physical assault injuries among students in Dalian, so as to provide evidence for the prevention and control of physical assault injuries among students.@*Methods@#Data of student physical assault injuries came from the Dalian Hospital Injury Monitoring System from 2018 to 2022, descriptive epidemiological methods and Chi square tests were used for statistical analysis.@*Results@#A total of 1 413 cases of physical assault injuries among students were reported, and the sex ratio between male and female was 4.12∶1. The number of reported physical assault injuries dropped from 414 cases in 2018 to 209 cases in 2022. The group of senior middle school/secondary vocational school had the highest proportion of cases (40.13%). Injuries occurred in all months, with the highest number of reported cases in June, October, and November, accounting for 33.97%. The main causes of injuries were blunt instrument injuries and falls, accounting for 70.06% and 23.35% respectively. The proportion of male (71.24%) was significantly higher than female (65.22%) in blunt instrument injuries ( χ 2=3.84, P <0.05). Nearly 75.58% of injuries occurred during leisure time. The main locations of injuries took place in schools and roads, accounting for 51.52% and 23.35% respectively. Contusions and sharp instrument injuries were one of the most common types of injuries, accounting for 67.16% and 22.29% respectively. The main area of injury was concentrated in the head, accounting for 59.52%. Most of injuries were mild and moderate, accounting for 72.26% and 27.60 %, respectively.@*Conclusions@#Schools are the main location for physical assault injuries among students, with boys and middle school students being the most vulnerable populations. Targeted intervention measures should be implemented to effectively reduce the occurrence of physical assault injuries among students.
RESUMEN
Purpose@#The goal of this study was to describe the current status of oncology nurses' behaviors toward end of life (EOL) care in China and to explore the factors associated with oncology nurses’ behaviors toward EOL care. @*Methods@#A cross-sectional design was applied and a convenience sample of 1038 oncology nurses from 22 grade A hospitals were recruited into this study. A general social demographic data questionnaire was administered, and the Chinese version of Nurses’ Behaviors of Caring for Dying Patients Scale was used to assess nurse behavior toward EOL care. The total score ranges from 40 to 200 points. Data were analyzed with SPSS 26.0 software. @*Results@#Chinese oncology nurses' average score of holistic EOL care behaviors was 2.97 ± 0.59. Oncology nurses provide physical care most (3.81 ± 0.76), followed by family care (3.02 ± 0.86), and spiritual care (2.37 ± 0.67). Multiple regression analysis showed that a higher frequency of sharing EOL care experience with colleagues, in-service palliative care education, higher level of head nurse support for EOL patient care, more cases of EOL care, higher working position, and nurse's perceived high level of support were positively associated with behavior toward EOL care. These six factors explained 16.2% of the total variance. @*Conclusions@#The results may help provide a basis for converting behavior for EOL care among oncology nurses and design interventions to better improve quality of life for EOL patients with cancer in China.
