JIANG Yan, YANG Ling, HU Qin
Chinese Nursing Management. 2026, 26 (5):  645-649.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1672-1756.2026.05.002
Abstract ( 2 )  
In the context of the global nursing workforce agenda and the Healthy China strategy, the economic value of nursing human resources has become a critical pillar for medical resource allocation, the control of social health costs, and the development of health industry. While the total number of nursing staff in China has grown steadily, challenges such as insufficient value realization, and structural imbalances constrain the effective transformation of professional value into economic value. Based on a life-cycle population health perspective, this paper proposes three core orientations for the economic value of nursing, and puts forward development strategies including creating a pricing incentive mechanism that reflects the value of nursing technical services, establishing a tiered and classified nursing talent training system, and promoting deep integration between nursing and innovative technology, thereby providing an implementation pathway for unlocking the high-quality economic value of nursing human resources.

Abstract ( 6 )  
Objective: To construct and apply a "hierarchical multidimensional" specialist nurse training and management plan guided by clinical needs, to provide a reference for the construction of specialist nurse teams. Methods: A hierarchical advancement mechanism based on core competencies was established at primary, intermediate, and advanced levels. Concurrently, multi-dimensional promotion pathways were set up across clinical, managerial, and educational tracks. Specialty nursing clinics, multidisciplinary collaboration, and subspecialty nursing practices were implemented. Specialty nursing teams were formed to achieve "networked" re-training of specialist nurses throughout the hospital. Results: After 4 years of implementation, the clinical practice (4.41±0.51 vs 4.81±0.38), management (4.62±0.62 vs 4.69±0.55), and professional development (4.71±0.31 vs 4.86±0.32) dimensions scores of specialist nurses were all improved (P<0.05). At present, there are 694 specialist nurses in 41 nursing specialties in the hospital, with an average of over 50000 online consultations per year for patients. By 2024, the total number of consultations in the hospital has reached 7031. Conclusion: The echelon construction and management scheme of "hierarchical multidimensional" for specialist nurses has effectively improved their core specialized competencies, reflected the refined and professional value of nursing, and is worthy of clinical promotion.

Chinese Nursing Management. 2026, 26 (5):  659-663.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1672-1756.2026.05.005
Abstract ( 2 )  
Objective: To explore the supply-demand spatial distribution and resource structure differences of "Internet+ Nursing Service" in Zhejiang province, providing evidence for the development of such services in China. Methods: Data on "Internet+ Nursing Service" in Zhejiang province from 2023 to 2025 were extracted. Agglomeration and disparity indices were used to analyze the spatial equity of supply and demand, while elasticity coefficients and structure variation were applied to examine human resource structure differences. Results: From 2023 to 2025, the "Internet+ Nursing Service" platform in Zhejiang province expanded rapidly. Spatial equity analysis showed that nurse resource agglomeration was relatively balanced, while service order agglomeration varied across regions. The Gini coefficient for nurse density was 0.18 (highly balanced), and for service density was 0.30 (relatively balanced). The Theil index decomposition indicated that intra-regional disparities were the main source of imbalance (96%). Elasticity analysis showed that the number of nurses had a significant positive effect on service volume (coefficient: 0.852, P<0.001), while the number of institutions did not (P>0.05). The degree of structure variation in nurse age decreased from 0.141 to 0.051, with the contribution rate of nurses aged ≤30 increasing from 20.737% to 33.810%. Conclusion: "Internet+ Nursing Service" in Zhejiang province have grown rapidly, but spatial imbalances exist within regions. Nurse staffing is the core driver of service growth, with young nurses becoming the main force in structural optimization.

Chinese Nursing Management. 2026, 26 (5):  685-690.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1672-1756.2026.05.010
Abstract ( 4 )  
Objective: Based on the actor-partner interdependence model, this study aims to explore the relationships between self-efficacy, resilience, social support, and Quality of Life (QOL) among elderly patients following hip fracture surgery and their family caregivers, so as to provide a theoretical basis for clinical interventions. Methods: From July to December 2024, 221 pairs of elderly patients who had undergone hip fracture surgery and their caregivers, who were conveniently selected from the outpatient clinics of three tertiary grade A hospitals in Qingdao for reexamination, were surveyed by using the General Information Questionnaire, the Self-Efficacy for Rehabilitation Exercise Scale, the General Self-Efficacy Scale, the Social Support Rating Scale, the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Short Form 12 Health Survey. An actor-partner interdependence model was constructed to analyze actor effects and partner effects at the dyadic level. Results: In terms of the actor effect, both the self-efficacy (β=0.697; β=0.536), psychological resilience (β=0.441; β=0.599), and social support (β=0.628; β=0.613) of patients and caregivers influenced their own QOL (all P<0.05). In terms of the partner effect, the QOL of patients was affected by the psychological resilience (β=0.300) and social support (β=0.309) of caregivers (all P<0.05), while the QOL of caregivers was influenced by the psychological resilience (β=0.711) and social support (β=0.336) of patients (all P<0.05). Conclusion: The QOL of elderly patients after hip fracture surgery and their caregivers has an interactive influence on the psychological resilience and social support of both. This indicates that nurses can conduct interventions based on a dyadic perspective, taking into account the psychological resilience and social support of patients and their caregivers, so as to effectively enhance the QOL of both parties.

Objective: To explore the experience of medication safety management participation among hospitalized older adults with Cardiometabolic Multimorbidity, in order to inform the development of a patient-centered medication safety management model. Methods: A purposive sampling approach was employed to conduct a descriptive qualitative study. Semi-structured face-to-face in-depth interviews were carried out from June to October 2024 with 16 hospitalized older adults with Cardiometabolic Multimorbidity in a tertiary grade A hospital in Jiangsu province. The collected data were analyzed using directed content analysis based on the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation-Behavior model. Results: A total of 2 themes and 9 sub-themes were identified, including facilitating experiences (efficient medication self-management skills, accurate medication beliefs, and diversified social support) and hindering experiences (physical function decline, lack of medication knowledge, negative medication-related emotions, lack of sense of responsibility in health management, barriers in hospital systems and operational models, and lack of authoritative information). Conclusion: The involvement of hospitalized older adults with Cardiometabolic Multimorbidity in medication safety management presents a complex characteristic of coexisting facilitating and hindering experiences. It is essential to strengthen the facilitating experiences while systematically addressing the hindering experiences, so as to enhance patient participation and ensure medication safety.

Chinese Nursing Management. 2026, 26 (5):  751-756.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1672-1756.2026.05.022
Abstract ( 6 )  
Objective: To explore the research and development of a multimodal decision-support system for physical restraint and evaluate its clinical application effects, so as to standardize clinical restraint assessment and promote the standardized implementation of physical restraint. Methods: A multimodal decision-support system for physical restraint was constructed by integrating multi-source heterogeneous data and intelligent algorithms, and homogeneous training on the system was conducted. Neurological critical care patients were divided into a control group (62 cases) and an observation group (61 cases) according to the order of admission. The control group received routine physical restraint management, while the observation group implemented restraint management in accordance with the multimodal hierarchical physical restraint scheme by applying the multimodal decision-support system. The physical restraint rate, incidence of delirium and unplanned extubation rate were compared between the two groups. The scores of nurses' knowledge and behaviors related to physical restraint before and after training, as well as nurses' satisfaction scores with the restraint management system were also analyzed. Results: The unplanned extubation rate was 0 in the observation group and 1.6% in the control group, with no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). The physical restraint rate (14.8%) and incidence of delirium (3.3%) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (27.4% and 14.5%), with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). After training, nurses' total score of knowledge related to physical restraint increased from 10.83±0.47 to 15.17±0.53, and the total score of physical restraint behaviors increased from 49.79±2.85 to 68.65±3.00, with statistically significant differences before and after training (P<0.05). The average satisfaction score of 31 nurses with the system was 4.62±0.36, indicating a high level of satisfaction. Conclusion: The implementation of body restraint management through the auxiliary multimodal decision-making information platform can reduce the body restraint rate of patients with neurological disorders, as well as the incidence of delirium, and is conducive to the standard execution of body restraint by nurses, ensuring patients' safety and comfort.

Chinese Nursing Management. 2026, 26 (5):  761-765.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1672-1756.2026.05.024
Abstract ( 3 )  
Objective: To evaluate the effects of sequential lateral positioning in mechanically ventilated patients with Stroke-Associated Pneumonia (SAP), aiming to provide a reference for promoting pulmonary rehabilitation in stroke patients. Methods: A total of 74 mechanically ventilated patients with SAP admitted to a tertiary grade A hospital in Nanchang from June to December 2024 were recruited using the convenience sampling method and randomly divided into a control group (n=37) and an observation group (n=37). The control group received routine mechanical ventilation care and regular body-turning, while the observation group received additional sequential lateral positioning, and both groups were intervened for 7 consecutive days. The arterial blood gas indicators, Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score (CPIS), mechanical ventilation time, vital signs, and adverse events between the two groups were compared before and on the 3rd and 7th days of the intervention. Results: On the 7th day of the intervention, the PaO2/FiO2 in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, and the CPIS score was lower (both P<0.05). The mechanical ventilation time of observation group was 5(4,8) days, which was significantly shorter than that of 7(6, 16) days in the control group (P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in pH, PaCO2, and vital signs between the two groups (all P>0.05). There were no adverse events such as aspiration or pressure injury during the intervention period in both groups. Conclusion: Sequential lateral positioning can effectively improve oxygenation and pulmonary infection in mechanically ventilated patients with SAP, potentially shortening the duration of mechanical ventilation.

Chinese Nursing Management. 2026, 26 (5):  766-771.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1672-1756.2026.05.025
Abstract ( 2 )  
Objective: To design a structured nursing documentation form for Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT), and analyze its application effects, thereby providing a reference for further improving the nursing quality of patients undergoing CRRT. Method: Based on the clinical requirements of CRRT, a preliminary draft of the structured nursing record sheet for CRRT was designed. The draft was discussed and revised through expert meetings to form the final version. The structured nursing record sheet was embedded into the CRRT information platform and applied in clinical practice. A total of 226 patients of a tertiary grade A hospital in Beijing from July to December 2024 served as pre-application group, and 327 patients from January to June 2025 as the post-application group. Comparisons were made between pre- and post-implementation regarding the time required for completing CRRT nursing documentation, the compliance rate with nursing documentation standards, the incidence of unplanned discontinuation, and the achievement rate of ultrafiltration dose. Additionally, healthcare providers' satisfaction with the form was evaluated after the implementation. Results: The structured CRRT nursing documentation form included six core modules: patient demographic information; treatment-related clinical data; pre-treatment assessment; treatment monitoring; post-treatment evaluation, and treatment summary. After the implementation, the average time to complete CRRT nursing documentation form decreased from 22 (18, 25) minutes to 13 (11, 15) minutes (P<0.001). The nursing documentation compliance rate increased from 96.9% to 100.0% (P=0.002). The incidence of unplanned discontinuation decreased from 17.7% to 9.8% (P=0.009), and the achievement rate of ultrafiltration dose improved from 85.4% to 91.1% (P=0.001). The overall user satisfaction score among healthcare providers was 71.57±4.70. Conclusion: The implementation of the structured CRRT nursing documentation form based on the information platform has enhanced the efficiency and quality of nursing documentation, and further improved the quality of specialized CRRT nursing care, as well as the treatment effects.

Chinese Nursing Management. 2026, 26 (5):  771-775.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1672-1756.2026.05.026
Abstract ( 2 )  
Objective: To analyze the predictive value of obesity-related anthropometric indices for Peristomal Moisture-associated Skin Dermatitis (PMASD), so as to provide a reference for clinical nursing. Methods: A total of 1000 inpatients/outpatients with enterostomy from a tertiary grade A hospital in Zhejiang province between September 2024 and June 2025 were conveniently selected as the study subjects. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Ostomy Skin Tool, and obesity-related anthropometric measurements. Binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the associations, and the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (ROC) was employed to evaluate the predictive performance of the obesity-related anthropometric indices and determine the optimal cut-off values. Results: The incidence of PMASD among patients with enterostomy was 56.9%. The Areas Under the ROC Curve (AUC) for body roundness index , weight-waist index, a body shape index, and BMI were 0.825, 0.754, 0.714, and 0.643, respectively, with all indices showing predictive value (P<0.05). The AUC of the body roundness index was significantly superior to the other three obesity-related anthropometric indices (all P<0.008 3), with an optimal cut-off value of 4.105 (sensitivity 82.3%, specificity 79.6%). Conclusion: Patients with enterostomy have a high risk of developing PMASD. Obesity-related anthropometric indices show good predictive performance, with the body roundness index being the most effective. Clinical practice should strengthen the dynamic monitoring of these indices and implement targeted interventions to reduce the risk of PMASD.

Abstract ( 1 )  
Objective: To explore the latent profiles of distress disclosure among patients with enterostomy and to analyze its influencing factors, to provide a reference for formulating intervention protocols for patients with enterostomy. Methods: Convenience sampling was used to include 218 colorectal cancer patients with enterostomy for1 month at a tertiary grade A hospital in Xi'an between October 2023 and May 2025. The Distress Disclosure Index, Ostomy Adjustment Inventory-20, and Perceived Social Support Scale were used for evaluation. Latent profile analysis was performed using Mplus 8.3 software, and multiple Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify influencing factors. Results: Distress disclosure can be divided into three potential profiles: low distress disclosure (18.3%), moderate distress disclosure (61.9%), and high distress disclosure (19.7%). The results of multiple factor analysis showed that social support, stoma adaptation ability, average monthly household income, leakage frequency and stoma time were factors affecting the willingness of distress disclosure (P<0.05). Conclusion: There is significant group heterogeneity in distress disclosure among patients with enterostomy. Personalized intervention measures based on the characteristics of different types of enterostomy patients should be developed to enhance their willingness for distress disclosure and improve their quality of life.
