: Objectives : This study aimed to construct a novel training program focused on the cultivation of practical skills, in order to provide a reference for the training of hospice care (HС) nursing specialists in China. Methods : This study applied Delphi method to collect and analyze opinions of selected experts from different regions and organizations in China, who have knowledge or practical experience related to HC. Results : From October to December 2020, a total of 17 experts from 14 tertiary hospitals and 3 nursing colleges across China participated in the survey. In the first round, out of 17 experts 16 responded, with the expert positive coefficient of 93.8%. For the two rounds of survey, expert’s levels of familiarity with the field were 0.938 and 0.938, while expert’s judgment criterions were 0.868 and 0.878. Thus the authority coefficients for the two rounds were 0.903 and 0.908, indicating high enough degree of authority of the participating experts. Training content covered the overview of HC, comfort care, heart-spirit-community support, hospice services, ethics and law, communication skills and stress response. After proposed adjustments the final training program for HС nursing specialists included 8 first-level sections, 24 second-level sections, and 57 third-level sections, designed for theoretical training time of 4 weeks and practical training of 8 weeks. Conclusion : The new training program for Hospice Care nursing specialists was constructed and evaluated by experts. Content of the program was considered to be comprehensive and reliable, and could provide a reference for the training of HC nursing specialists in China.

In Lesotho, ART services are provided in primary health care (PHC) facilities which are mostly run by nurses.The study aimed to describe perceptions of nurses regarding the antiretroviral therapy services at PHC facilities across six selected districts in Lesotho.A cross sectional survey was conducted in which convenience sampling was used to select 214 nurses working at PHC facilities across six districts. They completed a structured self-report questionnaire that collected information on their perceptions using a Likert scale with six options (strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, strongly disagree, and no answer). The response rate was 92% (n=197) and data were analyzed using SPSS (23).Nurses’ perceptions were positive and the same on whether ARVS and other medications were available; they were qualified and competent to provide ART services; they had adequate resources and equipment to provide ART services; they were satisfied with their jobs and the services they provided; and there was monitoring and evaluating system for the ART services. Nurses’ perceptions significantly differed and were mostly negative on whether they were adequately staffed to provide ART services; their organizational structures allowed for the provision of adequate and efficient services; ART services were accessible; and there was adequate and accurate documentation of the ART services they provided.As nurses are the main health care providers in Lesotho, their perceptions are important in improving service delivery. It is important to standardize ART services across the districts to ensure equitable accessibility in line with service demand.

Context: Moderate to severe pain has a profound negative impact on functioning and quality of life, hence nursing guidelines were needed as the driving force to optimize pain nursing interventions. Aim: To enhance the reduction of adult inpatients' pain intensity of not more than mild pain during the COVID-19 pandemic nursing care settings. Methods: For this hospital-wide pain management quality improvement initiative, quarterly cross-sectional pain prevalence surveys were conducted between February 2020 and February 2021. For patients with pain scores less than 4/10 only section one of the survey questionnaires was used, while those with pain scores more than mild pain chart review was performed utilizing section two of the questionnaire. The 80/20 principle was adopted to identify the area that needs attention for specific improvement actions of each unit that achieved less than 80% of patients with pain intensity less than 4/10. Results: University Hospital A achieved an average of 92% throughout the four quarters, and 87.4% was for University Hospital B. Less than 20% of patients during the four quarters of the surveys had moderate to severe pain in both hospitals. Conclusions: Both two hospitals achieved the target goal of more than 80% pain prevalence scores of not more than mild pain during the four quarters of the studies. It is therefore strongly recommended that healthcare organizations put in place policies and procedures that assign the nurses the target goal of effective pain management.

The acceptance rate of hemodialysis (HD) in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients has been increasing globally. Pakistan is a CKD high burden country with the increasing acceptance rate of HD. Unfortunately, there is dearth of published information regarding the rate, time to and factors associated with AVF maturation. The current retrospective cohort study was conducted with the aim to evaluate the rate, time to and factors associated with delayed AVF maturation. This study was conducted at the HD unit of Baluchistan Institute of Nephrology-Urology Quetta, Pakistan. The record of 120 HD patients who underwent native arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation was reviewed focusing on the associated factors and arteriovenous fistula maturity. A standardized data collection form was used to abstract patients’ socio-demographic and clinical data. Delayed AVF maturation was defined as AVF which got mature after six weeks of its creation. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 20) was used for data analysis. Categorical data was presented at frequencies and percentages whereas, continuous data was presented as mean ± standard deviations. Chi-square and Fisher exact tests wherever applicable were conducted to find association between patients’ socio-demographic and clinical characteristics and delayed AVF maturation. A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Mean age and body mass index of the study participants were respectively 43.20 ±15.184 years and 20.14 ± 4.37 kg/m2. Majority of them were males (53.3%), belonged the age group 31-45 years (42.5%), rural residents (62.5%) and non-smokers (65.8%). A total of 93.3% patients were suffering from hypertension and 6.7% suffered from diabetes mellitus. Majority of the study participants had no family history of CKD (81.7%) and baseline visit of dialysis they had CKD duration of 2-5 years (47.5%). The mean time to AVF maturation in the current cohort was 41.9 ± 8.5 days. A total of 91.7% patients achieved the early maturation of AVF. No factor had statistical significant association with delayed AVF maturation. The rate of AVF maturation in the current cohort is comparatively high than reported in the published literature. Being a single centre study with retrospective design its results cannot be generalized. In the current study, 91.5% of the patients achieved early maturation of AVF. The rate of early maturation in the current cohort was comparatively higher than that reported in the previously published literature. In this retrospective study, we didn’t find out any factor which had significant association with time to AVF maturation.
终末期肾病(ESRD)患者血液透析(HD)的接受率在全球范围内呈上升趋势。巴基斯坦是CKD高负担国家,HD的接受率越来越高。不幸的是,缺乏关于AVF成熟的速度、时间和相关因素的公开信息。目前进行回顾性队列研究的目的是评估延迟AVF成熟的比率、时间和相关因素。这项研究是在巴基斯坦奎达俾路支省肾脏泌尿科研究所HD单位进行的。本文回顾了120例HD患者行先天性动静脉瘘(AVF)的记录,重点分析了相关因素和动静脉瘘的成熟度。采用标准化数据收集表对患者的社会人口学和临床数据进行抽象。延迟AVF成熟定义为AVF在其创建6周后成熟。使用SPSS version 20统计软件包进行数据分析。分类数据以频率和百分比表示,而连续数据以平均值±标准差表示。卡方检验和Fisher精确检验在适用的情况下进行,以发现患者的社会人口学和临床特征与AVF延迟成熟之间的关系。p值<0.05认为有统计学意义。研究对象的平均年龄和体重指数分别为43.20±15.184岁和20.14±4.37 kg/m2。其中男性占53.3%,年龄31-45岁占42.5%,农村居民占62.5%,非吸烟者占65.8%。93.3%的患者患有高血压,6.7%的患者患有糖尿病。大多数研究参与者没有CKD家族史(81.7%),基线透析就诊,CKD持续时间为2-5年(47.5%)。当前队列中AVF成熟的平均时间为41.9±8.5天。共有91.7%的患者实现了AVF的早期成熟。没有任何因素与AVF延迟成熟有统计学意义。当前队列中AVF的成熟率相对于已发表文献报道的要高。作为一项回顾性的单中心研究,其结果不能一概而论。在本研究中,91.5%的患者实现了AVF的早期成熟。当前队列中的早熟率相对高于先前发表的文献报道。在本回顾性研究中,我们未发现任何与AVF成熟时间有显著关联的因素。
