Introduction: The World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on January 31, 2020. China was the first country to experience the challenges of controlling COVID-19. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the experiences of Chinese nurses who countermarched to the outbreak city for medical support in the very first period of this global infection. Methodology: A qualitative study of phenomenological research design was used to describe the experiences of 10 Chinese nurses. Data were collected in February 2020 through in-depth interviews and analyzed by conventional content analysis methods. Results: Chinese nurses experienced different psychological stages, work pressure, and challenges. New concepts of nursing also emerged during their clinical care for COVID-19 patients. Discussion: The guidance synthesized from the Chinese nurse stories could give specific direction for a well-prepared global nursing workforce and high-quality patient care in the present and future epidemics. The worries about discrimination of COVID-19 patients’ needs to be addressed culturally and emotionally as a priority by health care workers when they care for COVID-19 patients.

Introduction: Modern nursing was introduced into China by Western missionaries in the 19th century; since then, significant changes continued to occur, which provides beneficial areas of international collaboration based on trends in globalization. Methods and Materials: The description was developed through reviews of published literature, policy documents that inform Chinese nursing practice, education, and the firsthand working experiences between American and Chinese nurses and faculty. Results: 82 articles and 13 governmental documents were included. Chinese nursing has undergone significant changes in the organization, quality assessment, and roles requirements in education and practice. International collaboration areas include addressing the severe faculty shortage, maternal child care, elderly care, quality assessment, and educational programs evaluation. Discussion: Informative knowledge of changing Chinese nursing education and practices in the new millennium, the potential areas, and guides for international nursing collaboration would be meaningful to internationally involved faculty and nurses in China and America.

Purpose: To compare the surgical indicators, perioperative complications and postoperative psychological status of patients with coronary interventional therapy (CIT) by radical artery and femoral artery puncture approaches. Methods: 120 patients with CIT were divided into femoral artery group (FAG) and radial artery group (RAG) according to the operation ways. The interventional operation was performed by the same surgeon team and methods. Data of surgical indicators and perioperative complications were recorded and collected. The psychological questionare survey was made within 48 hours the after surgery by the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HAD), and the results were scored by the psychiatrist. Results: The age, sex, ethnicity, education level, disease type, and combined diseases of the two groups had homogeneity without statistical difference. There was no obvious difference in X-ray exposure time, contrast agent usage and operation time in two ways (P > 0.05). The success rate of one-time catheterization was higher in FAG than in RAG (P < 0.05). However, the incidence of vascular complications such as subcutaneous hematoma, puncture site bleeding in RAG were significantly lower than those in FAG (P < 0.05). Complications of vascular and puncture site bleeding, the operative limb braking time and hospitalization time were longer in FAG than those in the RAG (P < 0.05).The postoperative anxiety and depression question are data analysis showed patients in both groups had obvious higher anxiety and depression scores compare to Chinese norm. Even though there was no difference on anxiety scores of the patients in two groups, but the depression scores showed that patients in the FAG were more prone to psychological depression than patients in the RAG. Combined with the clinical nursing requirements, the postoperative nursing record charts of patients with CIT were established according to general patient data and physical discomfort with high incidence in the above survey
