“…First, most of the nurses in China had junior college as their foundational education which does not comprise much scientific research knowledge and skills. Second, there is still a shortage of nursing personnel in many hospitals in China (Wan and Feng, 2015;Li et al, 2018). According to the National Development Plan for Nursing Care (2016-2020) (China, 2017), the bed-to-nurse ratio should reach 1:0.4 in a noncritical department and 1:2.5-3.0 in a critical department respectively.…”

The existing literature on research ability among clinical nurses in tertiary hospitals in well-developed areas in China is sparse. The aim of this study is to explore the level of research ability and its determinants among clinical nurses in China. A cross-sectional survey was conducted and a total of 627 registered clinical nurses were recruited and surveyed with the Scale of Nursing Scientific Research ability. T-test and One-way ANOVA were used in this study.Quantitative results showed that the mean scores for the research ability was 49.64 (SD 23.60, range 0～120). 559 (89.2%) nurses had weak research ability and 68 (10.8%) had high level of research ability. After adjustment for confounding by multiple linear regressions, this study also demonstrated that determinants including the frequency of reading nursing research articles and the number of participating in research projects were independently associated with research ability.

“…Sociodemographic information and medical conditions were collected via hospital information system and face‐to‐face inquiry. Surgical risk was assessed by the attending anesthesiologist according to the China Hospital Association (CHA) surgical risk evaluation form (Appendix 1) adapted from national nosocomial infections surveillance system (NNIS) risk index [17, 18]. On the day of surgery, the anxiety status of each patient was evaluated after separation from their companion.…”

Background Preoperative anxiety is associated with increased use of anesthetics and poorer postoperative outcomes. However, the prevalence of preoperative anxiety has not been characterized in Chinese patients. In this study, we aimed to estimate the overall prevalence of preoperative anxiety in Chinese adult patients and to explore the sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with preoperative anxiety in China. Methods This study was a multicenter cross-sectional study conducted at 32 tertiary referral centers in China from September 1 to October 31, 2020. Adult patients scheduled for elective surgery were evaluated by the 7-item Perioperative Anxiety Scale (PAS-7) for preoperative anxiety after entrance to the operating zone. Results A total of 5191 patients were recruited, and 5018 of them were analyzed. The prevalence of preoperative anxiety measured by PAS-7 was 15.8% (95% CI 14.8 to 16.9%). Multivariable analyses showed female sex, younger age, non-retired, first in a lifetime surgery, surgery of higher risk, and poorer preoperative sleep were associated with higher prevalence of preoperative anxiety. Conclusions Preoperative anxiety was relatively common (prevalence of 15.8%) among adult Chinese patients undergoing elective surgeries. Further studies are needed using suitable assessment tools to better characterize preoperative anxiety, and additional focus should be placed on perioperative education and intervention, especially in primary hospitals. Trial registration This study was registered prospectively at www.chictr.org.cn (ChiCTR1900027639) on November 22, 2019.

“…Medical staff in provincial hospitals face greater job demands, occupational risk, and social pressure than county hospitals, which could contribute to higher levels of anxiety and depression. A survey found that there is a general shortage of medical staff in tertiary hospitals [ 26 ]. In particular, in high-stress work environments, such as tertiary hospitals, it is crucial for healthcare companies to offer support and resources to promote the mental health and wellbeing of their staff.…”

Background. Medical staff in China faced great challenges and psychological and physiological changes of varying degrees during the omicron epidemic outbreak. It is important to recognize the potential impact of these challenges on the mental health of medical staff and to provide appropriate resources and support to mitigate their effects. Methods. A total of 354 medical staff in two obstetrics and gynecology hospitals of different grades were included in this survey using convenience sampling. The cross-sectional self-report questionnaires survey was conducted using the Basic Characteristics Questionnaire, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). Results. There were 169 (47.7%) participants suffering from anxiety disorder. Working with fever, working in obstetrics, and working with protective clothing were the risk factors for anxiety in medical staff p<0.05. One hundred and ninety-six (55.4%) participants were depressed. Working with fever and working in obstetrics were the risk factors for depression in medical staff p<0.05. There were 117 (33.1%) participants suffering from insomnia. Working with fever, high educational level, and severe COVID-19 infection status were the risk factors for insomnia in medical staff p<0.05. Moreover, medical staff in a provincial hospital were more anxious and depressed than those in a county hospital. At last, there were more participants working with fever in obstetrics p<0.05. Conclusion. Anxiety disorder, depression, and insomnia were common among obstetrics and gynecology medical staff during the outbreak of omicron pandemic. During this period, more resources for psychological counselling should be provided to the hospital as well as more reasonable staffing arrangements, and working while having a fever is prohibited, especially in provincial hospital.
