Methods: A combination of relevant clinical information, health care guidelines, and training as well as the establishment of a specific monitoring protocol was provided to the parents during the patient’ s first hospitalization. A support system for nursing the colostomy was established with regular follow-up via WeChat after the patient’ s first discharge from the hospital using a predetermined protocol. During the 3 to 6 months of home care in-between the colostomy operations, the charge nurse initiated the phone follow-up and provided specific, individual guidance and feedback. If necessary, extended serv-ice at predetermined intervals was provided in the 1st week, the 1st month, the 2nd month and the 3rd month. Results: Extended assistance for the home care of patients with pediatric colostomy complications im-proved the quality of life of the patients and caregivers and was accepted by all parties involved upon in-troduction. The assistance provided support for the parents at all hours, efficiently reduced the level of complications for this type of patient and facilitated fast referrals to hospital care in cases of emergen-cies. Furthermore it paved the way to successful second stage surgeries, provided direct feedback to the charge nurse and improved the work satisfaction and sense of achievement of the nurses involved. Conclusions: All 80 cases supported by WeChat successfully underwent two-stage pediatric colostomy operations. The response of the parents and the medical staff involved was very positive. This method is easy to use, economical to operate and could be applied generally to support home care.展开更多

Methods： We performed a cross-sectional study of 356 ICU nurses by applying random cluster sampling. Data were collected using self-reported questionnaires under the instruction of trained investigators. Data on emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and feelings of low personal accomplishment etc. were collected, calculated and analyzed. Results： The participants had a mean age of 26.96 years （SD 4.07）. The mean value （M） and stand- ard deviation （SD） of emotional exhaustion was M=31.85, SD=8.38, those of depersonalisation was M= 11.69, SD= 5.54 and those of feelings of low personal accomplishment was M= 19. 79, SD = 7.02. The high degree of emotional exhaustion （EE）, depersonalisation （DP）, and lack of personal accomplishment （PA） were revealed to be 76.4%, 39.6%, and 94.9%, respectively. The major influencing factors of emotional exhaustion included support from co-workers（b=0. 343, t = 1.98, P=0. 049）, taking leave（b=-1. 182, t=-3. 747, P=0. 001）, requisition of work（b=-l. 41, t=-2. 369, P=0. 018）, and supervisor support（b=-0. 524, t=-3. 926, P=0. 001）. The major influencing factors of depersonalisation were support from the supervisor（b=-0. 333, t=-4. 146, P=0.001）, age（b=-0. 89, t=-2. 272, P= 0. 024） and requisition of work（b=-0. 148, t=-2. 124, P=0. 034）. There was a positive co-relationship between personal accomplishment and supervisor support. Conclusions： Supervisor support, age, and requisition of work were the major influencing factors of depersonalisation. In addition, supervisor support plays an important role in low personal accomplishment. Further research should focus on supervisor support, co-worker support, time on leave, and requisition of work associated with emotional exhaustion.展开更多
