ObjectiveTo know the life attitude and its influence factors of nursing undergraduates in a school of nursing,so as to provide the theoretical evidence for the exploration of the way of life education. MethodsA cluster sample of 246 nursing undergraduates were asked to complete the survey,who were sampled from grade 2008 to grade 2011 in a University of Sichuan province between Nevember and December 2011.Then we used the way of questionnaire to analyze and research the life attitude and its influence factors of nursing students,and this study mainly used the Life Attitude Scale (LAS) questionnaire which was made by Taiwan scholar Manying Xie. ResultsThe total score of the investigated nursing students'attitude to life was 365.1±43.6,and the total and each level scores were higher than Taiwan college students and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.01).Female students'total score of attitude to life and the existence sense dimension were significantly higher than male students'(P<0.05).The third grade students'score of love and care level had a significant difference with the second grade and the first grade students (P<0.05).Through correlation analysis,nursing students'life attitude and self-rating interpersonal relationship (r=0.256,P=0.000),the situation of families talking about death (r=0.210,P=0.001),whether there was a Dutch act idea (r=0.172,P=0.007),family income (r=0.151,P=0.017),gender (r=0.130,P=0.042) and whether had siblings (r=-0.143,P=0.025) were positively correlated. ConclusionWe should carry out targeted life and death education for nursing students to promote them to establish positive life attitude and value.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the usage status of drugs in the treatment of senile cerebral infarction in Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University in 2011, and to provide references for rational usage of drugs for inpatients with senile cerebral infarction. MethodsMedical records of the elderly (≥60 years old) inpatients with cerebral infarction in Xuanwu Hospital in 2011 were collected. ATC codes were used to standardize names of drug and classifications. Patients' general information, number of patients' used drugs, Defined Daily Doses (DDDs), and Drug Utilization Index (DUI) were calculated by using Microsoft Excel 2007 to evaluate the rationality of drugs usage. ResultsA total of 430 patients were included. The average age was 70.61±7.29 years old. The average types of diseases were 5.39. The major combined disease was circulatory system disease, accounting for 42.45%. A total of 15 656 medication records were included, involving 243 kinds of drugs (including different administration routes). The average number of used drugs for each patient during the admission was 17.11. The top 5 drugs based on percentage of patients with drug use were Ginkgo Biloba Preparation (injection), clopidogrel (oral), prostaglandin E1 (injection), atorvastatin (oral) and cinepazide (injection). The top 5 drugs of DDDs were Ginkgo Biloba Preparation (injection), ipratropium bromide (inhalation), prostaglandin E1 (injection), folic acid (orla), and clopidogrel (oral). The top 5 drugs of DUI were vitamin B12 (injection), multi-vitamin (oral), nikethamide (injection), methylprednisolone (injection), and vitamin C (oral). ConclusionFor therapeutic drugs used among the elderly patients with cerebral infarction in Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University, the choice, dosage and administration route of medication are rational. However, the drugs with higher DUI are not related with major diseases, which indicates that we should pay attention to the irrational drug use of clinical application, so as to ensure safety, effectiveness and economy of drug application.
