A comparative analysis of the mastery of nursing knowledge for patients with deterioration between Chinese and Australian nursing students / 中华医学教育探索杂志

Objective To investigate the mastery of nursing knowledge for diabetic patients with disease deterioration between Chinese and Australian nursing students and possible influencing factors,and to provide a reference for improving nursing teaching method in China.Methods From May to June,2016,a self-designed online knowledge questionnaire was used to investigate the mastery of clinical emergency knowledge among the third-grade nursing students in Chongqing Medical University in China and Hinders University in South Australia.A total of 303 questionnaires were collected,among which 243 valid questionnaires (164 from Chinese students and 79 from Australian students) were included in statistical analysis,with an effective collection rate of 80.20％.SPSS 19.0 software was used for statistical analysis,and the paired t-test or the chi-square test was used for data comparison.Results Australian nursing students had a significantly higher score of clinical emergency knowledge than their Chinese counterparts (t=4.115,P=0.000).Compared with the low-score group (score ＜12),the high-score group (score ≥ 12) had a significantly higher proportion of students with a family/medical history of diabetes,clinical experience in diabetes care,or self-learning as the main method (P＜0.05).As for learning method,Australian nursing students tended to use online self-learning (60 students,75.95％) and do assignments (56 students,70.89％) and participate in class discussion (51 students,64.56％),while Chinese students tended to receive theoretical teaching (138 students,84.15％),consult clinical teachers (138 students,84.15％),and receive simulation/experimental teaching (123 students,75.00％).Conclusion Chinese nursing students have lower degrees of willingness for self-learning and mastery of knowledge for disease deterioration than Australian nursing students.Focus on specialized practice,development of online teaching,and cultivation of the awareness and ability for self-learning may help to improve the mastery of clinical emergency knowledge among nursing students.

Catheter-directed thrombolysis for patients with acute lower extremity deep vein thrombosis: a meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate case series studies that quantitatively assess the effects of catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) and compare the efficacy of CDT and anticoagulation in patients with acute lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). METHODS: Relevant databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Ovid MEDLINE and Scopus, were searched through January 2017. The inclusion criteria were applied to select patients with acute lower extremity DVT treated with CDT or with anticoagulation. In the case series studies, the pooled estimates of efficacy outcomes for patency rate, complete lysis, rethrombosis and post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) were calculated across the studies. In studies comparing CDT with anticoagulation, summary odds ratios (ORs) were calculated. RESULTS: Twenty-five articles (six comparing CDT with anticoagulation and 19 case series) including 2254 patients met the eligibility criteria. In the case series studies, the pooled results were a patency rate of 0.87 (95% CI: 0.85-0.89), complete lysis 0.58 (95% CI: 0.40-0.75), rethrombosis 0.11 (95% CI: 0.06-0.17) and PTS 0.10 (95% CI: 0.08-0.12). Six studies comparing the efficacy outcomes of CDT and anticoagulation showed that CDT was associated with a reduction of PTS (OR 0.38, 95%CI 0.26-0.55, p<0.0001) and a higher patency rate (OR 4.76, 95%CI 2.14-10.56, p<0.0001). CONCLUSION: Acute lower extremity DVT patients receiving CDT were found to have a lower incidence of PTS and a higher incidence of patency rate. In our meta-analysis, CDT is shown to be an effective treatment for acute lower extremity DVT patients.

RESUMO Objetivos: Avaliar os estudos de séries de casos e avaliar quantitativamente os efeitos da trombólise dirigida por cateter (TDC) e comparar a eficácia entre TDC e anticoagulação nos pacientes com trombose venosa profunda aguda das extremidades inferiores (TVP) para tratamento futuro. Métodos: Foram pesquisadas as seguintes bases de dados relevantes: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Ovid MEDLINE e Scopus​. Os critérios de inclusão foram aplicados para pacientes selecionados com TVP aguda de extremidades inferiores tratados com TDC comparada a TDC com anticoagulação. Nos estudos de série de casos, as estimativas agrupadas de resultados de eficácia para a taxa de permeabilidade, lise completa, retrombose e síndrome pós-trombótica (SPT) foram calculadas em todos os estudos. Em estudos comparando TDC com anticoagulação, foi calculada a razão de chance de resumo (summary odds ratio - OR). Resultados: Vinte e cinco artigos (seis comparando TDC com anticoagulação e 19 séries de casos), incluindo 2.254 pacientes, preencheram os critérios de elegibilidade. Nos estudos da série de casos, os resultados agrupados foram: taxa de permeabilidade 0,87 (IC95%: 0,85-0,89), lise completa 0,58 (IC95%: 0,40-0,75), e retrombose 0,11 (IC95%: 0,06-0,17), SPT 0,10 (IC95%: 0,08-0,12). Seis estudos que compararam os resultados de eficácia entre TDC e anticoagulação mostraram que TDC foi associada à redução da SPT (OR 0,38; IC95%: 0,26-0,55; p<0,0001) e maior taxa de permeabilidade (OR 4,76; IC95%: 2,14-10,56; p<0,0001). Conclusão: Pacientes com TVP aguda de extremidades inferiores que recebem TDC estão associados a uma menor incidência de SPT e maior incidência de taxa de permeabilidade. Em nossa metanálise, TDC é um tratamento eficaz para pacientes com TVP aguda de extremidades inferiores.
