ObjectiveTo explore course content and teaching-learning strategies of advanced nursing practice in graduate nursing education, so as to provide reference for nursing schools to develop relevant courses.MethodsA teamof course teachers was set up, and the course was developed. The course was implemented in grade 2015 and 2016 graduate nursing students. The students’ perception and evaluation of course contents, teaching methods, teaching quality, curriculum value and course satisfaction were collected through questionnaires and interviews.ResultsA totalof 23 students were enrolled. The mean scores of teaching quality, curriculum value and course satisfaction were 93.48±1.01, 51.04±4.88, and 17.00±2.28, respectively. Students recognized the necessity and the importance of including the advanced nursing practice in each specialty in the course content, and hoped to add in practice sections.ConclusionsIt is advisable to include the advanced nursing practice in each specialty as well as the practice section, so as to strengthen the students’ concrete understanding of the advanced nursing practice. Seminar and discussion are the teaching methods with first priority.
Due to the high incidence rate, high mortality rate, high disability rate, high recurrence rate and many complications of stroke, patients are easily re-admitted after discharge, which seriously affects their quality of life. A scientific and standardized discharge plan can ensure continuous medical care for stroke patients, reduce readmission rates, and improve patient outcomes, which is of great significance for reducing the burden of stroke. This paper reviewes the development and connotation, the nursing model and the implementation status of the discharge planning among stroke patients at home and abroad, and makes recommendations on the opportunities and challenges of implementing the stroke discharge plan, in order to provide a reference for scientific and standardized stroke disease management.
Rehabilitation engineering is an important branch of rehabilitation medicine. Relying on combination of medical and engineering research projects to carry out the cultivation of rehabilitation medicine-engineering interdisciplinary postgraduates of medical engineering is an important way to train high-quality composite innovative talents. This article introduces the medicine-engineering interdisciplinary innovative training model of rehabilitation engineering medical workers piloted by the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine and the Research Institute of Rehabilitation Engineering and Technology of University of Shanghai for Science and Technology. By clarifying the objectives of medicine-engineering interdisciplinary postgraduates training, strengthening the construction of mentor teams, establishing multi-disciplinary postgraduates courses, improving teaching arrangements and apprenticeship plans, and encouraging the exchange of postgraduates with different research backgrounds, this training mode cultivates postgraduates to be guided by clinical problems in rehabilitation medicine to expand scientific research and research ideas, pomotes the transformation of research achievements and their application in clinical practice, and cultivates compound-type rehabilitation engineering research talents with post competence. The purpose is to provide a reference for the training of future composite rehabilitation engineering research talents.
ObjectiveTo explore the reliability and safety of continuous monitoring of vital signs in patients using wireless wearable monitoring devices after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for lung cancer. MethodsThe patients undergoing VATS for lung cancer in West China Hospital, Sichuan University from May to August 2023 were prospectively enrolled. Both wireless wearable and traditional wired devices were used to monitor the vital signs of patients after surgery. Spearman correlation analysis, paired sample t test and ratio Bland-Altman method were used to test the correlation, difference and consistency of monitoring data measured by the two devices. The effective monitoring rate of the wireless wearable device within 12 hours was calculated to test the reliability of its continuous monitoring. ResultsA total of 20 patients were enrolled, including 15 females and 5 males with an average age of 46.20±11.52 years. Data collected by the two monitoring devices were significantly correlated (P<0.001). Respiratory rate and blood oxygen saturation data collected by the two devices showed no statistical difference (P>0.05), while heart rate measured by wireless wearable device was slightly lower (\begin{document}$ \bar{d} $\end{document}=−0.307±1.073, P<0.001), and the blood pressure (\begin{document}$ \bar{d} $\end{document}=1.259±5.354, P<0.001) and body temperature(\begin{document}$ \bar{d} $\end{document}=0.115±0.231, P<0.001) were slightly higher. The mean ratios of heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen saturation, blood pressure and body temperature collected by the two devices were 0.996, 1.004, 1.000, 1.014, and 1.003, respectively. The 95% limits of agreement (LoA) and 95% confidence interval of 95%LoA of each indicator were within the clinically acceptable limit. The effective monitoring rate of each vital signs within 12 hours was above 98%. ConclusionThe wireless wearable device has a high accuracy and reliability for continuous monitoring vital signs of patients after VATS for lung cancer, which provides a security guarantee for subsequent large-scale clinical application and further research.
