Development of an evaluation index system for clinical thinking ability in nursing interns LI Yuetong,LI Hongyu,LI Qi,HUYAN Sihan 2022, 19 (11):  965-969.  doi: 10.3761/j.issn.1672-9234.2022.11.001 Abstract ( 423 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (755KB) ( 18 )   Save Figures and Tables | References | Related Articles | Metrics Objective To develop an evaluation index system for clinical thinking ability in nursing interns. Methods The draft index system of clinical thinking ability evaluation was formed through literature review and group meeting. Twenty-six nursing experts were consulted by emails using Delphi technique. Results The effective recovery rate of the two rounds of expert consultation was 100% and 88%，and the expert authority coefficient was 0.929 and 0.941，respectively. The Kendall coefficient of expert opinion in the second round of expert consultation was 0.293. The evaluation index system of clinical thinking ability of nursing undergraduates was constructed，which included five first-level indicators（critical thinking ability，systematic thinking ability，evidence-based thinking ability，predictive thinking ability，and innovative thinking ability） and 35 secondary indicators. Conclusion The consultation experts are positive and authoritative，and the content of evaluation index is reasonable，which can provide a basis for the evaluation of clinical thinking ability of nursing undergraduates.

Construction and application the discharge planning based on Theory of Goal Attainment in elderly patients with ostomy CHEN Xia,YUE Lixia,WANG Zhixia,WANG Feijie,LIU Fangli 2022, 19 (11):  1027-1032.  doi: 10.3761/j.issn.1672-9234.2022.11.014 Abstract ( 221 )   HTML ( 0 )   PDF (827KB) ( 14 )   Save Figures and Tables | References | Related Articles | Metrics Objective To construct discharge planning for elderly patients with ostomy based on theory of goal attainment and verify the effectiveness. Methods Based on the “Theory of Goal Attainment”，we combined with the best clinical evidence and patient’s needs，and constructed the discharge planning for elderly patients with colostomy. Thirty-nine patients from April to June 2021 were in the control group and received routine care. Another 38 patients from July to October 2021 were in the experimental group，which discharge planning based on Theory of Goal Attainment was adopted. All of them come from the gastrointestinal surgery department of a hospital in Zhengzhou. After intervention，the discharge readiness，patient engagement degree of the two groups were compared，and the incidence of ostomy-related complications at discharge，the 4th and 12th week after surgery were compared between the two groups. Results At discharge，the discharge readiness score，health care participation score in the experimental group were higher than control group（P<0.05）. The incidence of ostomy-related complications in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group at the 4th week after surgery（P<0.05），but there was no significant difference in the incidence of ostomy-related complications between the two groups at discharge and the 12th week after surgery（P=0.615，P=0.313）. Conclusion Discharge planning based on the theory of goal attainment can improve the level of discharge readiness and patients’ participation，reduce the incidence of postoperative complications at the earlier stage after discharge.

Gender，education，marital status，and the number of chronic diseases were the influencing factors of the total score of care services quality in older outpatients，which can explained 27.6% of the total variation. Conclusion The nursing care service quality perceived by olde pateints reached the qualified level. On the basis of ensuring the tangible and responsive quality of nursing services for older patients，outpatient nursing administrators should give priority to the quality of nursing services in empathy and responsiveness，and give targeted nursing intervention according to the results of influencing factor analysis，so as to achieve the continuous improvement of outpatient nursing services and improve the satisfaction of older patients.

Methods A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed，Web of Science，Embase，The Cochrane Library，CBM，CINAHL，CNKI，Wanfang and VIP databases from their inception to June 2022. Cohort studies related to sarcopenia and HF prognosis were collected by “snowball” method. Two reviewers independently screened articles，extracted data，and evaluated risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using RevMan 5.4 software. Results Finally 8 cohort studies involving 2 261 patients were included. The meta-analysis showed that HF patients with sarcopenia had a higher risk of all-cause death than those without sarcopenia[HR=1.32， 95%CI（1.18， 1.47），P<0.001]，and sarcopenia also increases the risk of cardiogenic adverse events in HF patients[HR=1.01， 95%CI（1.01， 1.02），P<0.001]. Subgroup analysis showed that sarcopenia had no effect on all-cause death in patients with ADHF[HR=1.26， 95%CI（1.00， 1.59），P=0.05]，but increased the risk of all-cause death in patients with CHF [HR=1.61，95%CI（1.09， 2.36），P=0.02]. Conclusion The results of this study indicate that sarcopenia has predictive value for the prognosis of HF patients. Due to limited quantity and quality of included studies，more high quality studies are needed to verify above conclusions.
