Objective: To investigate the recognition and extent to clinical alarms fatigue among ICU nurses and to identify the barriers and current status of alarms management. Methods: Totally 622 nurses in a tertiary Grade A comprehensive hospital in Jilin province were recruited and investigated using questionnaires about cognitive status, fatigue extend, clinical alarm management obstacles and alarm management status and we analyzed the influencing factors. Results: The highest score of nurses' recognition of alarm fatigue was "staff sensitive to alarm, quick response". The average score of nurses' alarm fatigue was 19.50±6.40. Among them, anxiety and mental stress fatigue score were the highest. The difference of fatigue extend scores among nurses with different working years and professional titles was statistically significant (P<0.05). Nurses were facing difficulties in improving alarm status, the top three were "frequent false alarm reduces the attention and response to alarms", "difficulties to understand the alarm priorities", " difficulties to hear the alarm in time". Conclusion: The nurses’ attitude to alarm fatigue are positive. The psychological fatigue is more serious than physical fatigue. There are fatigue differences among nurses with different working years and professional titles. The false alarm is a major obstacle to the clinical response of nurses. The management response to alarms is insufficient. We need to take targeted intervention and management measures in future to effectively reduce the alarm harm and guarantee quality and safety of nursing care in ICU.

Objective: To investigate the prevention effect of early-stage ambulation activity on postoperative complications of Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). Methods: A multi-disciplinary team was established to implement early activity one day after surgery in patients with THA. Then the postoperative complications of patients who got THA in two different periods (before and after the new intervention) were compared. Results: After implementing early-stage activity, the incidence of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) of lower extremity, the occurrence of constipation and prosthesis dislocation cases in observation group were less than those in the control group, and the occurrence of DVT and constipation were statistically different (P<0.05). The hip joint function recovery in the observation group was better than that in the control group, Harris scores in 15 days and 1 month after operation were statistically higher in the intervention group than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Implementing early-stage activity after total hip arthroplasty can effectively reduce postoperative complications, accelerate the recovery of hip joint function and improve the quality of life after surgery.

The application of improvement project on fall rate among hospitalized patients
. 2018, 18 (2):  278-281.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1672-1756.2018.02.029
Abstract ( 626 )   PDF (2513KB) ( 212 )  
Objective: To analyze the causes of fall, make and implement relevant improvement measures. Methods: We delivered retrospective analysis of causes of 46 fall cases in our hospital in 2015. The reasons were nurses' improper assessment or not timely assessment, poor effect of health education about drug and physical activity among patients with physical disabilities, nurse visits not in place, and patients' poor compliance, etc. In order to reduce the incidence of falls, we established improvement project, including establishment of fall team, fall assessment and health education training, formulating health education manual, standardizing 5p patrol mode, using mobile logo and fall informed consent, and using quality control method to ensure the effectiveness of the project measures. Results: There were 29 fall cases in 2016, and the incidence was 0.58 per thousand. Compared to 2015, the incidence in 2016 decreased significantly (P<0.05). The incidence of severe damage reduced significantly from 43.5% to 10.3%. The regression analysis showed that improvement project was a protective factor for fall patients with severe damage. Conclusion: Through the analysis of the causes of fall adverse events, we can use improvement project to reduce the incidence of falls, reduce the degree of injury, ensure the safety of patients, and improve the quality of nursing.

The application of best evidence-informed practice of skin toxicity caused by EGFRIs
. 2018, 18 (2):  282-287.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1672-1756.2018.02.030
Abstract ( 633 )   PDF (3382KB) ( 105 )  
Objective: To implementing best evidence-informed practice of skin toxicity caused by EGFRIs, to improve the nurses' compliance of skin toxicity symptom management, to decrease the incidence and severity of patients' skin toxicity, and to improve the patients' quality of life. Methods: We adopted the standard procedure of Practical Application of Clinical Evidence System (PACES) of JBI evidence-based nursing center, and obtained the best related practice evidence in the Clinical Online Network of Evidence for Care and Therapeutics (COnNECT+) database of JBI, and formulated corresponding review criteria. The data were collected by field observation, interviews, and medical records. Results: About 5 criterion in the second audit achieved 100.00% compliance. The patients' score of Skindex-16 was reduced from 25.18±17.29 to 7.59±6.79 (P=0.001). Conclusion: Audit of current practice and the implementation of strategies to improve compliance with evidence-informed practice were effective and appeared to reduce the incidence and severity of common EGFRIs-induced skin toxicities.

Developing a minimum dataset for nursing team leader handover in the intensive care unit: a focus group study
. 2018, 18 (2):  288-288. 
Abstract ( 638 )   PDF (1634KB) ( 116 )  
Background: Despite increasing demand for structured processes to guide clinical handover, nursing handover tools are limited in the intensive care unit. Objective: The study aim was to identify key items to include in a minimum dataset for intensive care nursing team leader shift-to-shift handover. Methods: This focus group study was conducted in a 21-bed medical/surgical intensive care unit in Australia. Senior registered nurses involved in team leader handovers were recruited. Focus groups were conducted using a nominal group technique to generate and prioritise minimum dataset items. Nurses were presented with content from previous team leader handovers and asked to select which content items to include in a minimum dataset. Participant responses were summarised as frequencies and percentages. Results: Seventeen senior nurses participated in three focus groups. Participants agreed that ISBAR (Identify-Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendations) was a useful tool to guide clinical handover. Items recommended to be included in the minimum dataset (≥65% agreement) included Identify (name, age, days in intensive care), Situation (diagnosis, surgical procedure), Background (significant events, management of significant events) and Recommendations (patient plan for next shift, tasks to follow up for next shift). Overall, 30 of the 67 (45%) items in the Assessment category were considered important to include in the minimum dataset and focused on relevant observations and treatment within each body system. Other non-ISBAR items considered important to include related to the ICU (admissions to ICU, staffing/skill mix, theatre cases) and patients (infectious status, site of infection, end of life plan). Items were further categorised into those to include in all handovers and those to discuss only when relevant to the patient. Conclusion: The findings suggest a minimum dataset for intensive care nursing team leader shift-to-shift handover should contain items within ISBAR along with unit and patient specific information to maintain continuity of care and patient safety across shift changes.
