Objective: To explore the potential categorization of health information acquisition behaviors in patients with newly diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), the population-level heterogeneities and influencing factors of different underlying profiles. Methods: We conducted a survey study from March to September 2021 with 383 newly diagnosed T2DM patients from the endocrinology department of four tertiary hospitals in Guangdong province using a convenience sampling method. We collected data using the general information questionnaire, health information acquisition behavior scale, and health literacy scale. Latent profile analysis was used to explore the potential categorizations; binary logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of different latent profiles. Results: Two potential profiles were identified: low needs-limited sources-high barriers (77.5%) and high needs-multiple sources-high barriers (22.5%), with heterogeneities existing between the two groups. Participation in health education lectures (P<0.05) and critical health literacy (P<0.05) were predictors of health information acquisition behaviors in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM. Conclusion: There are two heterogeneous categories of health information acquisition behaviors in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM. To promote patients to actively acquire health information, healthcare professionals should initiate health education programs based on patients’ health information acquisition characteristics.

Objective: To describe the characteristics of vascular access cannulation among clinical nurses in hemodialysis centers in Beijing based on the best evidence, therefore to identify the gap between clinical practice and the best practice of vascular access cannulation, and provide evidence for future improvement. Methods: Following convenient sampling, eligible nurses from the hemodialysis centers of study hospitals were included in the current study. Using questionnaire which was designed based on the evidence-based practice, clinical guidelines and expert consensus, the characteristics and influencing factors of vascular access cannulation among clinical nurses were examined. Results: A total of 542 valid questionnaires were collected and analyzed. Among these nurses, the average score for the standardized operation was 4.64 (0.62), which was related to the nurse's professional title, position, received training on puncture and ultrasound application. Meanwhile, the score on handling puncture complications was significantly lower than the scores on both assessment before puncture and the puncture process (P<0.001). The proportion of nurses who assessed the maturity of AVF and AVG at the time of puncture according to the best evidence was 46.3% and 12.3%, and the proportion of nurses who adopted "rope-ladder cannulation", "buttonhole cannulation" and "area cannulation" in AVF/AVG were 96.5%/93.9%, 27.3%/13.5% and 26.9%/19.9%, respectively. Conclusion: There are potential needs to standardize nurses' cannulation process, especially those related to the handling of puncture complications. The time assessing maturity and cannulation of the initial arteriovenous fistula is not consistent, the cannulation methods needs to be improved. The overall nursing management of vascular access is significantly related to the standardization of nurses' cannulation in hemodialysis centers.
