Construction of evaluation index system of core competence of neonatal specialist nurses / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective:To construct the evaluation index system of the core competence of neonatal specialist nurses, so as to provide reference for clinical training of neonatal specialist nurses.Methods:From January 2020, through literature review, theoretical analysis, interview, Delphi method and superiority chart, the evaluation index and weight of core competence of neonatal specialist nurses were determined.Results:Totally 28 experts in China were invited for 3 rounds of consultation. The effective recovery rate of the questionnaires was 93.33%(28/30) in the first round. The effective recovery rate of the questionnaires was 100.00%(28/28) in the second and third rounds. The authority coefficient of the experts was 0.85 in the third round. The Kendall′s coefficients of concordance of the first-level indexes, second-level indexes and third-level indexes were 0.150, 0.221 and 0.161, respectively. The final evaluation index system of the core competence of neonatal specialist nurses included 5 first-level indicators, 17 second-level indicators and 58 third-level indicators.Conclusions:The evaluation index system of the core competence of neonatal specialist nurses constructed in this study has certain scientific, reliable and clinical application value, which is conducive to the training of newborn specialized nurses in China.

Discussions on the emergency medical procedure of children's hospitals against COVID-19 epidemic / 中华医院管理杂志

December 2019 witnessed the outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan, Hubei province of China, which has soon spread nationwide and across national borders, posting a menacing pandemic threat. Children are themselves highly susceptible infectious diseases in normal times not to mention an epidemic period. Coupled with the high incidence of seasonal influenza, it is imperative to strengthen epidemiological screening of children, along with effective isolation, treatment, prevention and control measures. In view of specifics of the hospital, the authors proposed to further improve the medical emergency procedure, strictly enforcing screening and isolation regulations, and standardizing medical procedure. They also proposed scientific layout and use of the infection wards. These measures are designed to control the epidemic and protect the safety of medical staff.

Advices on the prevention and control of nosocomial infection of novel coronavirus within children’s hospitals / 中华医院管理杂志

The pneumonia caused by the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), which began in December 2019, has become the most serious public health problem, threatening people's health and life. This threat is posing a severe challenge on the diagnosis and treatment of 2019-nCoV infection, the prevention and control of hospital cross infection of medical staff. It is suggested that in addition to strengthening the organization and leadership of the abovementioned work, establishing and improving the prevention and control mechanism deserve greater attention. Furthermore, special attention should be given to the safety of the medical staff, strengthening their infection monitoring and outbreak management. Medical staff in different work areas and positions should be placed under careful protection, cleaning and disinfection measures. The protection during specimen collection, transportation and medical waste management should also be prioritized. This paper also put forward management suggestions for the outpatient department, isolation ward and other key departments. These measures are proposed to provide a guidance for the prevention and control of 2019-nCoV nosocomial infection in the pediatric outpatient and ward.

Advices on the prevention and control of nosocomial infection of COVID-19 within children′s hospitals / 中华医院管理杂志

The epidemic of COVID-19 has become the topmost public health threat worldwide. The authors suggested that in addition to strengthening the organization and leadership of the abovementioned work, greater attention be paid to establishing and improving the prevention and control mechanism.Furthermore, special efforts should be given to the safety of the medical workers, by strengthening their infection monitoring and outbreak management. Medical workers in different work areas and positions should be placed under careful protection with due cleaning and disinfection measures. The protection during specimen collection, transportation and medical waste management should also be prioritized. Such special issues in the management of pediatric patients, as allocation of nurses, the screening and management of caregivers, the problem of breastfeeding, and the disinfection of children′s toys and diapers were discussed. This paper also put forward management suggestions for the outpatient department, isolation ward and other key departments, which aim to guide the prevention and control of COVID-19 nosocomial infection in the pediatric outpatient and ward.

The investigation on the status and associated factors of uncertainty of caregivers of children with imperforate anus / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective:To investigate the uncertainty level of caregivers of children with imperforate anus, and determine the influence factors.Methods:Two hundred and twenty-nine caregivers were enrolled from three tertiary children′s hospital in Eastern China. The caregivers completed the Perception of Uncertainty Scale, Parent Stigma Scale and Social Support Scale. The demographic information of caregivers and affected children were also collected during the survey.Results:The average score of uncertainty of caregivers was (72.58±14.06) points, and multiple analysis showed that education level, the acceptance level of disease, social support and stigma were independent determinants of uncertainty ( P<0.01), and these factors could account for 26.9% of the variance. Conclusions:The caregivers of children with imperforate anus experience a high level of uncertainty, especially those with low education level, share low acceptance level of disease, receive low social support and experience higher level of stigma.

A correlation analysis of PICC tip position and weight gaining in very low birth weight infants / 中华护理杂志

Objective To investigate the correlation of PICC tip position and weight gaining in very low birth weight infants.Methods We performed a retrospective study using chest X-ray films of very low birth weight infants in NICU who had PICCs inserted in a tertiary hospital.We recorded the tip positions on plain radiographs and calculated the position change,and calculated weight gaining ratio.Spearman regression model was used to analyze the relationship between tip position migration and weight gaining ratio.Results A total of 57 cases of very low birth weight infants were included,containing 246 X-ray films.On the first day of taking X-ray,weight was 0.6-1.46 (1.06±0.25) kg,the median and interquartile spacing are 5(3,7)d.The last time of taking X-ray was(24.0±9.1) dafter PICC placement;weight gaining ratio was 11.8％～114.8％,the median and interquartile spacing are 41.5％ (27.1％,65.3％).All PICCs tip position changed,75％ of which migrated more than 2 vertebrae,50％ of which migrated 3 vertebrae,and the median and interquartile spacing are 3 (1.8,3.5) vertebrae.The distances of tip migration were correlated with weight gaining ratio.With an approximate 2,3 and 4 vertebrae of PICC tip migration,the corresponding weight gaining ratio was about 40％,70％ and 100％.The correlation coefficient between PICC tip position migration and weight gaining ratio was-0.7(P＜0.01),but there was difference in different insertion sites.Conclusion PICC tip position is greatly influenced by weight gaining among very low birth weight infants.By considering the initial placement position,the crucial moment to assess catheter location is at 40％ and 70％ weight gaining ratio.After 100％ weight gaining,PICCs should be removed or replaced.PICCs can easily be affected by bone growth and limb movement,require higher frequency of catheter localization.
