Methods Sharp Instrument injuries were collected with the guide of Roll Call of Sharp Instrument Injuries in Medicine from June 2006 to May 2008. Related data were statistically analyzed. Results Sharp instrument injuries occurred to 24 nurses (5.71 per 100 beds), most of whom had just been in the post for less than one year (66.67%). Most injuries happened at 8:30 am-11:00 am during the morning (41.67%) and at, the bed side (70.83%). A half of the injuries occurred during medical waste disposal and most injuries were caused by scalp acupuncture (59.26%). No hematogenous infection occurred after proper treatment of the injuries. Conclusion Strengthening the knowledge of self-protection, stipulating and monitoring procedures of operating and disposing of sharp instruments are the most important measures to prevent the nurses from being injured during their working.
Objective To discuss the effect of Balint groups on promoting mental health of oncology nurses through developing Balint group activities. Methods From December 2015 to December 2016, a series of Balint group activities were carried out among 63 oncology nurses in West China Hospital of Sichuan University. Huaxi Emotion Index was used to investigate the psychological status in the nurses before and after the activities of Balint groups, and then the data was analyzed statistically. Result Except the scores of nurses aged over 41 and nurses above the primary and secondary level (P>0.05), all other scores had significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusions Balint group activities can significantly relieve oncology nurses’ negative emotions such as anxiety, tension and depression, alleviate body discomfort symptoms and improve interpersonal relationships. Huaxi Emotion Index is easy to understand, which helps rapid clinical assessment and nurses’ psychological problems screening. It is suitable for popularization and application clinically.
Objective To explore the incidence and severity of symptoms of the lung cancer patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiation therapy, and reveal the influence of symptom clusters on the patients’ daily activities. Method From December 2016 to June 2017, a total of 150 patients with lung cancer who underwent concurrent chemoradiation therapy were investigated by using M. D. Anderson Symptom Inventory of Chinese Version and the revised lung cancer module. Results For the patients during the period of concurrent chemoradiation therapy, the symptoms with severity score >5 were fatigue, nausea, poor appetite, cough, distress, disturbed sleep, vomiting, expectoration, and grief; the symptoms with incidence >80% were fatigue, nausea, disturbed sleep, poor appetite, grief, and cough. Joy of life (87.33%), emotion (74.38%), and work (72.67%) were the top three in terms of high incidence of symptom distress. Exploratry factor analysis revealed 4 major symptom clusters, which were fatigue-related symptom cluster, gastrointestinal symptom cluster, emotion symptom cluster, and respiratory symptom cluster. Conclusions During the period of concurrent chemoradiation therapy, lung cancer patients suffer from multiple symptom clusters. Medical staff should assess symptoms timely, and provide effective interventions, to improve the patients’ quality of life.
