Objectives: The goal of the present study is to investigate the status of alexithymia and social support among ICU nurses，and to investigate the correlation between the alexithymia and social support of ICU nurses. Methods: From June to November 2016，400 ICU nurses were sampled from 7 general hospitals in Changchun with convenient sampling method， there were 375 valid questionnaires. The efficiency was 93.75%. The questionnaire includes the self-designed general situation questionnaire，Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). Results: 1. The total score of the alexithymia of ICU nurses was 55.07± 7.85，and the mean score of alexithymia was 2.75±0.39. 2. The total score of social support of ICU nurses was 37.14± 6.75，and the mean score of social support was 2.86±0.52. 3. The total score of the alexithymia was negatively correlated with the subjective support，objective support，supportive utilization and the total score of social support(P Conclusions: 1. ICU nurses generally have a certain degree of empathy， and at a moderate level. The job title，working years，with or without children， marital status were the factors that affect the ICU nurses9 alexithymia. 2. The social support of ICU nurses was at the middle level. Gender，age， job title，working years，with or without children and marital status were the factors affecting the social support of ICU nurses. 3. The alexithymia of ICU nurses was negatively correlated with the subjective support.

Introduction: People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and their caregivers present symptoms of anxiety and depression that impact negatively on their quality of life. There are no studies using the dyad perspective in analyzing such effects on COPD dyads. Aims: To assess the effects of anxiety and depression on mental and physical quality of life in COPD dyads using Actor-Partner interdependence Model (APIM). Methods: We used a cross-sectional design. Eighty dyads were recruited in two outpatient clinics in Italy. Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, and 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12) were used to assess depression, anxiety and quality of life respectively. The structural equation modeling (SEM) with maximum likelihood estimation was used to analyze the data. Results: Actor effects of depression and anxiety on mental SF-12 (MCS) were identified for both patients and caregivers. Depression presented partner effect only from caregivers to patients’ MCS, whereas anxiety presented partner effects for both patients and caregivers. Actor effect of depression on physical SF-12 (PCS) was observed for patients, while an actor effect of anxiety for caregivers was identified. No partner effects of anxiety and depression were identified on PCS. Conclusions: The results suggest that caregiver’s psychological distress can influence patient’s mental quality of life. Therefore, to improve quality of life of patients healthcare professionals should assess and treat the anxiety and depression not only in COPD patients but also in their caregivers.

Background: Dyspnea is an overwhelmingly unpleasant sensation associated with qualitative descriptors such as "suffocation," "choking," and "drowning."Like all memory recall, retrospective dyspnea symptom reports are subject to bias and may be influenced by affective components. However, real-time symptom monitoring is more accurately reflective of physiological airway changes. Evidence of real-time dyspnea symptom tracking using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) via smartphone technology is limited. The aim of this pilot study was to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and utility of a technology-enabled symptom monitoring intervention in individuals with chronic respiratory disease (including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma). Methods: An iterative design process was used by a multidisciplinary team (physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and respiratory psychophysiologist) to develop the Smartphone Airway Monitoring System (SAMS). A cross-sectional repeated measures design was used to evaluate EMA combined with Bluetooth-enabled inhalers for real-time smartphone monitoring (n=20). Results: Smartphone real-time respiratory symptom tracking is acceptable and feasible in adults and children with chronic respiratory disease. The majority of patients own a smartphone, but new/replacement smartphones loans are needed for some patients. Discussion: An mHealth platform (SAMS) enabled real time symptom assessment in the home environment. An iterative design enhanced engagement. Ongoing investigations focus on the accuracy of symptom perception, self-efficacy, momentary factors that impact adherence behaviors and effective monitoring approaches in both pediatric and adult populations.

Background: This project aims to improve the skills of current and future nurses for the promotion of self-management of the disease in people with COPD. We have been developing an e-learning training programme (sponsored by the European Union) targeted at first and second study cycles’ students and nurses. This innovative e-learning programme integrates a web clinical virtual simulator (CVS) to develop nurses’ clinical reasoning education. Method: Participatory action research based on a cyclical process divided into five phases. Based on the PROSPERO protocol, a systematic literature review was performed to identify the contents and approaches to include in the programme. Contents were analysed and organized by a group of nurses with respiratory expertise. We defined and designed the decision tree of eight clinical scenarios to be integrated into the CVS. The contents were made available in the e-learning platform, also supported by videos and CVS. Results: The programme was divided into three modules: initial, intermediate and advanced. Ecare-COPD is supported by an e-learning strategy with multimedia content (twenty videos), and a CVS incorporated in the e-learning platform. Conclusion: The implementation of this project has a double impact. Firstly, it enhances the quality and safety of nursing care provided to the person with COPD and, secondly, it responds to the demand for the dematerialization of teaching and to the students and nurses’ intention to use information and communication technologies in education and lifelong learning.

Background: Self-management enhances autonomy, quality of life and control over the disease. However, there is still little evidence focusing on contents of nurse-led interventions. Our aim is to identify the most effective contents of nurse-led interventions for the promotion of self-management in COPD patients. Method: A Systematic Literature Review based on Cochrane conceptual model registered in PROSPERO. We used the PICOT method with the main starting question: what are the contents of the most effective nurse-led interventions for the promotion of self-management? Database search was conducted before November 24, 2017, in CINAHL; MEDLINE; EMBASE and Web of Science. Results: A total of 563 records were identified with 130 repeated records. After title and abstract analysis, 394 studies were excluded. A total of 55 retrieved studies were selected for full reading. For the final qualitative synthesis, three records were included. Nurse-led interventions are effective for the promotion of quality of life, knowledge related to disease and in reducing tobacco consumption. Additionally, interventions focused on physical activity maintenance are very likely to improve dyspnoea over time. Conclusion: Studies on self-management promotion in COPD patients should carefully address the characterization of nurse-led interventions in terms of contents and approaches. An in-depth description will support the definition of more accurate nurse intervention guidelines, supporting the enhancement of the nurse’s contribution for integrated care programmes worldwide.
背景:自我管理提高了自主性、生活质量和对疾病的控制。然而，关注护士主导的干预措施内容的证据仍然很少。我们的目的是确定护士主导的干预措施中最有效的内容，以促进COPD患者的自我管理。方法:采用基于PROSPERO注册的Cochrane概念模型的系统文献综述。我们使用PICOT方法的主要问题是:促进自我管理的最有效的护士主导干预措施的内容是什么?数据库检索于2017年11月24日之前在CINAHL进行;MEDLINE;EMBASE和Web of Science。结果:共鉴定记录563条，重复记录130条。经过题目和摘要分析，共排除394项研究。共选择55篇检索研究进行全文阅读。在最后的定性综合中，纳入了三条记录。护士主导的干预措施对于提高生活质量、提高与疾病有关的知识和减少烟草消费是有效的。此外，随着时间的推移，注重身体活动维持的干预措施很可能改善呼吸困难。结论:促进COPD患者自我管理的研究应仔细研究护士主导干预的内容和方法特征。深入的描述将支持更准确的护士干预指南的定义，支持提高护士对全球综合护理计划的贡献。

Background: Clinical Research Nurses (CRNs) conduct and manage all areas of clinical trials however it remains a niche role within nursing. The literature, from the perspectives of CRNs, suggests that the role is widely misunderstood. It is not known what clinical nurses perceive about the CRN role. Effective relationships between clinical and research teams are essential for the success of clinical trials and advancement of new treatments. Understanding each other’s roles and skills may aid working relationships and collaboration. Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate clinical nurse perceptions of the respiratory CRN role. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of respiratory clinical nurses in a tertiary respiratory hospital. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Thematic Analysis was used. Results: Fifteen participants described research activities having little impact on clinical care at the hospital, with research activities being undertaken by research staff. The majority were unable to name specific trials being undertaken. Concerns were raised that the lack of communication from research teams could adversely affect patient safety. This lack of integration damaged relationships between teams, a problem that was widely highlighted among participants. Conclusions: This study has shown there is a divide between research and clinical care within the hospital. It is important that strategies are developed to reduce this gap between the two specialities of nursing. Improving research education at pre and post registration level by having students and mentors work with CRNs is one tactic that will help encourage closer cooperation between these two groups.
