Objective To understand the current status of core competence of hospice care among clinical nurses in a hospital in Xiamen and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide reference for formulating targeted education and training programs. Methods This study was a cross-sectional survey. Convenience sampling was used to select 205 clinical nurses from a hospital in Xiamen in December 2022 as the research subjects. A questionnaire on hospice care attitude, a questionnaire on core competence of hospice care among oncology nurses, and a general self-efficacy scale were used to conduct the survey. Results The total score of core competence of hospice care among clinical nurses was (125.72±31.93) points, with an average score of (3.14±0.28) points. The average scores of the dimensions of education, collaboration, and professional development were relatively low at (2.97±0.03) points; the attitude towards hospice care was(42.70±5.70) points and the self-efficacy score was (25.90±5,67) points. The core competence of hospice care was positively correlated with hospice care attitude and self-efficacy correlation coefficient(r)=0.177.0.454. P<0.05]. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that self-efficacy, specialist nurse, participation in hospice care training, the number of terminally ill patients cared for in the last six months, and the level of hospice care services in the hospital were influencing factors of nurses core competence of hospice care(P<0.05). Conclusion The core competence of hospice care among clinical nurses is at a moderate level, with weak abilities in education.collaboration and professional development. Self-efficacy has a positive predictive effect on core competence. Nursing administrators should emphasize the education and training of hospice care core competence to improve the level of hospice care among clinical nurses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective To construct a risk prediction model for lower extremity varicose veins in operating room nurses, and to verify the prediction effect of the model. Methods A total of 512 operating room nurses from nine tertiary hospitals and seven secondary hospitals in Lanzhou City from January to May 2022 were selected and randomly assigned to the modeling group and the validation group in a ratio of 7∶3. A univariate, multivariate logistic regression was used to screen the independent factors influencing the development of lower extremity varicose veins in operating room nurses. A random forest algorithm was used to rank the importance of the influencing factors. The R software was used to establish a nomogram model and make it into a dynamic nomogram web page format. Results In the modeling group, 337 operating room nurses were included, and 167 patients had lower extremity varicose veins, with a prevalence of 49. 6%. Nursing age, education, standing time ≥ 4 hours, work nature, and the number of days of wearing varicose stockings per week ≥3 days were the influencing factors of lower extremity varicose veins in operating room nurses. The ranking results on the importance of influence were as follows: Nursing age＞education ＞ work nature ＞ wearing varicose stockings ≥ three days per week ＞ standing time. The area under the ROC curve of internal verification AUC value was 0. 696,and the curve in the calibration chart was close to the diagonal line. The AUC value of the area under the external validation ROC curve is 0. 683,and the curve in the calibration chart was nearly close to the diagonal line. Conclusion The nomogram model has good consistency and distinction, and the dynamic nomogram web page is simple and easy to use, which can quickly evaluate their own risk scores and screen high-risk groups, and can be used as the basis for the implementation of individualized preventive programs, as well as providing a reference basis for rational scheduling for nursing managers in the operating room.

Objective To investigate the difference of self-assessment ability of hospital-acquired infection risk among nurses in wards before and after the implementation of the infection control inspector system, by using the infection control inspector to supervise and intervene the self-assessment ability of hospital-acquired infection risk of nursing staff in wards, so as to provide reference for improving the self-assessment ability of hospital-acquired risk among nursing staff. Methods From May 20 to November 20, 2020, a total of 295 nursing staff in wards were selected proportively to assess the self-assessment ability of hospital-acquired infection risk of nursing staff by self-made questionnaire, and the differences of self-assessment ability of different types of nursing staff before and after the implementation of the system of infection control inspector in the hospital were compared. Results It is no statistically significant in the self-assessment ability of hospital-acquired infection risk among nurses of different genders (P＞0. 05). It is statistically significant in nursing staff of different age groups and professional title groups (P＜0. 05). The ability of self-assessment of hospital-acquired infection risk of primary professional and technical position nurses was significantly lower than that of middle and senior professional and technical position nurses, and the intermediate professional and technical position nurses was significantly lower than that of senior professional and technical position nurses, with statistical differences (P＜0. 05). Conclusion The ability of self-assessment of hospital-acquired infection risk of male and female nurses was basically the same. The promotion of professional and technical posts is conducive to the increase of nursing staff's self-assessment ability of hospital-acquired infection risk. According to the working characteristics of nursing staff, the medical institutions should combine daily work with the improvement of self-assessment ability of hospital-acquired infection risk, and improve the self-assessment ability of nursing staff through the infection control inspector system.

The network questionnaire was used to investigate the risk perception and coping style of SARS-CoV-2 infection, negative emotion, psychological load of work, perceived social support and so on. The correlation between nurses' psychological negative emotion and nurses' workload/social support were also analyzed. Results The negative emotion degree and positive rate of the 248 nurses in front-line department significantly increased, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05). Fear was the most common negative e-motion[91. 1% (226/248)]. The total level of psychological load, physical requirements, self-expression and frustration of the nurses in close contact with SARS-CoV-2 infection were significantly higher than those of the nurses in other positions, the differences were statistically significant (P <0. 05). The social support received by the nurses in front-line departments mainly came from their families. Social support was negatively correlated with depression, anxiety/obsessive-compulsive and hypochondriac emotions in negative emotions (r= —0. 206, —0. 185, —0. 234 f P<0. 05). Nurses' work psychological load was positively correlated with de-pression, neurasthenia and anxiety/obsessive-compulsive emotion in negative emotion (r = 0. 251, 0. 242, 0. 231, P <0. 05).
