In this article, the theoretical basis and development status of art therapy are introduced, and the intervention methods and effectiveness of art therapy in patients with dementia are reviewed. To date, nursing intervention via art therapy with dementia patients in China has been rarely investigated, and the design of this type of investigation must be improved.

Objective
To investigate the health value and self-care capabilities of the elderly living in urban-rural fringe area nursing homes and the factors that influence these variables.
Methods
A cluster sampling method was used to select 280 elderly individuals from seven urban-rural fringe communities in Xianning to complete a survey regarding their health value and self-care capabilities.
Results
The total health value and self-care capability scores of the elderly were 7.45 ± 1.45 and 100.25 ± 22.56, respectively. Both of these scores significantly differed by age, education level, marital status, and income (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Self-care capability was correlated with health value (r = 0.521). A multivariate linear regression analysis showed that health value, marital status, and age predicted self-care capability.
Conclusions
Elderly people living in the urban-rural fringe area with higher health values also had higher self-care capabilities. The self-care capabilities of the elderly can be enhanced by improving their health value using the “knowing-trusting-acting” model.
目的了解城乡结合部老年人的健康价值、生活自理能力及其影响因素。方法采用整群抽样的方法,对咸宁市7个城乡结合部社区的280名老年人进行健康价值和生活自理能力调查。结果老年人健康总分为7.45±1.45分,生活自理能力得分为100.25±22.56分。年龄、受教育程度、婚姻状况和收入差异显著(P <0.05, P <0.01)。自我照顾能力与健康值相关(r = 0.521)。多元线性回归分析显示,健康状况、婚姻状况、年龄对自我照顾能力有预测作用。结论城乡结合部老年人的健康价值较高,其生活自理能力也较高。通过“知-信-行”模式,提高老年人的健康价值,提高老年人的自理能力。

Objective
To investigate the effectiveness of a high-fidelity teaching simulation based on an NLN/Jeffries simulation in the nursing education theoretical framework and its influencing factors.
Methods
A high-fidelity teaching simulation on clinical nursing practices using intelligent human analogues was conducted with 200 students, and The Simulation Design Scale, and the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale developed by the National League for Nursing were used to evaluate the training effectiveness and its influencing factors.
Results
For the high-fidelity teaching simulation, students gave scores of 4.36 ± 0.54 points for satisfaction and 4.33 ± 0.46 points for Self-Confidence. The students highly rated the five dimensions of teaching design, i.e., teaching objectives/information, assistance/support for students, problem solving, guided feedback, and fidelity. The teaching design was closely correlated with the satisfaction of the high-fidelity teaching simulation and self-efficacy, and the dimensions of teaching objectives/information and assistance/support for students were particularly strong predictors of teaching effectiveness.
Conclusions
A high-fidelity teaching simulation based on Jeffries' theoretical framework improved student satisfaction with the simulation and their Self-Confidence. In planning simulations, teachers should take into account five characteristics, i.e., teaching objectives/information on simulation education, assistance/support for students, problem solving, guided reflection, and fidelity, to achieve better teaching effectiveness.

Objective
This study aims to investigate the effect of 4 different dialysate temperatures on blood pressure during hemodialysis for patients with hypertension.
Methods
Using a self-controlled method, the patients' body temperature was set as T. Accordingly, the dialysate temperature was set as 37 °C, T+0.5 °C, T, and T−0.5 °C. The changes in blood pressure, heart rate, mean arterial pressure and dialysis-induced adverse reactions at the 4 different dialysate temperatures were consistently monitored.
Results
Patients who received hemodialysis with 37 °C and T+0.5 °C dialysate demonstrated an unstable blood pressure and a higher incidence of adverse reactions. Patients who received hemodialysis with T and T−0.5 °C dialysate showed a relatively stable blood pressure, heart rate, and mean arterial pressure during dialysis. In particular, dialysate at T−0.5 °C resulted in the most stable blood pressure, the fewest adverse reactions and the best self-assessed comfort scores (P < 0.01).
Conclusions
The dialysate temperature during hemodialysis for patients with hypertension should be set to a temperature based on patients' preoperative body temperate T or 0.5 °C below T. This practice is suggested to enhance the stability of patients' blood pressure and heart rate during hemodialysis, reduce complications and improve patients' tolerance of hemodialysis.

The purpose of this study was to address the issues that occur during the B-ultrasound guided peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) process and to give a summary of the effective management to these issues accordingly.
Methods
The information was collected retrospectively on all of the 1950 PICCs inserted during the 2-year period from July 2013 to July 2015. PICC catheter insertion was performed using the Seldinger approach and was delivered from the basilic vein to the superior vena cava in a B-ultrasound guided manner. Moreover, the point raised during the PICC process would be treated immediately.
Results
All of the PICCs were inserted successfully. The problems encountered are shown in the inserted central catheter (PICC) process, such as failures of venipuncture, the problem of inserting guide wire, the catheter was difficult to be delivered etc.
Conclusions
The B-ultrasound guided approach enhanced the average success regarding the PICC insertion, particularly for the subset with a poor condition in the elbow superficial vein. Due to the items that emerged in the PICC process, the effective prevention prior to surgery and treatment during the operation would be necessary.

Objective
To explore the possible correlation between bladder compliance (BC) and the changes in detrusor collagen fiber content after bladder outlet obstruction (BOO).
Methods
Ninety healthy female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were enrolled in this experiment and divided into an experimental group and a control group randomly, using the randomizing table method, with 70 rats in the experimental group and 20 rats in the control group. Six weeks after BOO modeling was established, BC was evaluated through bladder testing. Bladder tissues were then fixed and embedded in paraffin. The tissues were cut into thin slices, followed by Masson staining and observation under a microscope.
Results
Compared with the control group, the BC of the experimental group rats increased, and the difference had statistical significance (P < 0.05); the content of detrusor collagen fibers of the rats in the experimental group increased significantly compared to the control group.
Conclusions
The content of detrusor collagen fibers increased significantly after BOO, and BC was higher.
