To investigate the status quo of oncology nursing management and standardized construction in hospitals of Hunan province,and to analyze the existing problems.
Using purposive sampling.A total of 81 members of the Oncology Nursing Professional Committee of Hunan Nursing Association working in hospitals were selected as survey subjects in December 2024.A self-designed questionnaire on the status quo of oncology nursing management and standardized construction was used to investigate the conditions of hospitals affiliated with the members of the Oncology Nursing Professional Committee of Hunan Nursing Association.
The 81 members of the Oncology Nursing Professional Committee came from 81 hospitals.Among these,71 hospitals(87.7%) had established oncology nursing pathway management systems,with tertiary hospitals showing better performance than secondary hospitals(P<0.05).A total of 67 hospitals(82.7%) had implemented comfort-oriented oncology nursing construction.Specialized construction in vascular access nursing and wound/ostomy nursing was relatively more common(both 58.0%).Among oncology specialized nursing staff,the majority held provincial-level oncology specialty certificates(65.6%),with supervisor nurses(45.5%) and nurses with bachelor's degrees(78.5%) being the predominant groups.A total of 76 hospitals(93.8%) were equipped with anti-tumor drug spillage protective equipment.A total of 69 hospitals(85.2%) were equipped with anti-tumor drug preparation protective equipment.A total of 35 hospitals(43.2%) had established pharmacy intravenous admixture services.The contents of oncology specialty nursing training were mostly focused on oncology nursing management and specialized knowledge(96.3%),professional competence of oncology nurses(95.1%),and oncology specialized practical skills(85.2%).Only 42 hospitals(51.9%) had conducted tiered professional training for all hospital nurses.
The oncology nursing management systems in hospitals at various levels in Hunan province still require improvement.Further strengthening of standards and process construction,optimization of resource allocation,and enhancement of personnel management and training systems are needed to promote the homogenization and high-quality development of oncology nursing.
To explore the application effect of artificial intelligence(AI) telephone follow-up in patient management for intravitreal injection.
A total of 1 000 patients who underwent intravitreal injection at the intravitreal injection center of Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital from January to June 2025 were selected as the study subjects.The patients were divided into an AI telephone follow-up group and a manual telephone follow-up group using a random number table method,with 500 cases each.In the manual telephone follow-up group,follow-up calls were conducted by nurses.In the AI telephone follow-up group,an AI telephone follow-up system developed by the research team was used for follow-up.The two groups were compared in terms of call success rate,effective connection rate,information collection rate,complete information collection rate,and patient follow-up satisfaction,and the average call duration was also calculated.
The average call duration was 146 seconds in the AI telephone follow-up group and 79 seconds in the manual telephone follow-up group.The call success rate in the AI telephone follow-up group was 79.20%,which was higher than that in the manual telephone follow-up group (71.40%).However,the effective connection rate(79.80%),information collection rate(76.58%), complete information collection rate(59.50%),and patient follow-up satisfaction(92.4%) in the AI telephone follow-up group were all lower than those in the manual telephone follow-up group (effective connection rate was 99.72%,information collection rate was 92.98%,complete information collection rate was 92.15%,patient follow-up satisfaction was 100.0%).
The application of AI telephone follow-up in patients undergoing intravitreal injection could improve call success rate,but it has limitations in terms of interaction quality,information completeness,and call duration control.In the future,AI telephone follow-up could be used as an auxiliary tool for manual follow-up to comprehensively improve the efficiency and digital level of nursing follow-up.
To establish a standardized transformation path of music therapy in clinical practice,and to provide empirical evidence for the standardized promotion of traditional Chinese medicine-characterized nursing techniques.

After the intervention,the total clinical practice skills score of students increased from 131.24±10.57 to 170.53±8.32,and that of nurses increased from 140.24±9.03 to 174.20±7.16.The SAS score of 120 hospitalized patients decreased from 52.7±6.2 to 48.1±5.9.Among them,the VAS score of 68 patients with pain symptoms decreased from 5.8±2.1 to 3.2±1.5.All differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05).Experts' evaluation of the transformation path showed the clinical applicability average score was 4.5±0.6.The educational value average score was 4.7±0.4.The promotion feasibility average score was 4.3±0.7.
The transformation path of music therapy in clinical practice constructed in this study effectively improved the music therapy application abilities of students and nurses,and reduced patient anxiety and pain levels.
To investigate the incidence and influencing factors of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis(DVT) after intracranial mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS),and to construct a risk prediction model.
A total of 315 patients admitted to the neurointensive care unit of Nanfang Hospital Southern Medical University were enrolled as study subjects from January 2023 to September 2024. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were performed to explore the influencing factors for DVT.A Nomogram prediction model was constructed.The prediction model was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve,Hosmer-Lemeshow test,calibration curve,and clinical decision curve analysis(DCA).
The incidence of lower extremity DVT after mechanical thrombectomy in the 315 AIS patients was 28.89%(91/315).Logistic regression analysis showed that age,National Institute of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS) score,D-dimer level,puncture time,and operation time were influencing factors for lower extremity DVT after mechanical thrombectomy in AIS patients(all P<0.05).A Nomogram model was constructed based on these influencing factors.The area under the ROC curve was 0.916(95% CI 0.883-0.949).The Youden index was 0.675.The sensitivity was 0.912.The specificity was 0.763.The Bootstrap test indicated good model calibration.Clinical DCA demonstrated good clinical applicability within the threshold probability range of 0.01-0.90.
Age,NIHSS score,D-dimer level,puncture time,and operation time were identified as factors affecting the occurrence of lower extremity DVT after mechanical thrombectomy in AIS patients.The Nomogram model constructed based on influencing factors demonstrated good predictive performance and may serve as a quantitative tool for nurses to identify high-risk patients at an early stage.
To analyze the effects of pre-pregnancy weight and intrapartum weight on postoperative recovery quality in women undergoing caesarean section.
A total of 337 women who underwent caesarean section at Jiangsu Shengze Hospital from September 2023 to December 2024 were selected as study subjects.General data of the women were obtained from the hospital's electronic medical record information system.The quality of postoperative recovery was assessed 24 hours after surgery using the Obstetric Quality-of-Recovery(ObsQoR-11) score.
The pre-pregnancy body mass index(BMI) of the 337 women was (23.2±3.3) kg/m2,and the intrapartum BMI was (28.6±3.7) kg/m2.Linear regression analysis showed that the duration of the caesarean section,intrapartum weight,and pre-pregnancy weight were influencing factors for the postoperative recovery quality in women undergoing caesarean section(all P<0.05).
Both intrapartum obesity and pre-pregnancy obesity have a negative impact on the postoperative recovery quality in women undergoing caesarean section. Reasonable weight management should be performed for women undergoing caesarean section to improve the postoperative recovery quality.
To construct a digital-intelligent traditional Chinese medicine nursing management system based on the concept of syndrome differentiation-based care,and to evaluate its application effects.
A digital-intelligent traditional Chinese medicine nursing management system was developed by integrating the traditional Chinese medicine"three-cause suitability"concept and modern nursing process.Nurses from seven traditional Chinese medicine key specialty wards in our hospital were selected as study subjects from January 2023 to December 2024.A total of 219 on-duty nurses were included before the application of the system,and 229 on-duty nurses were included after the application.The nurses' performance management satisfaction and nursing quality scores were compared before and after the system application.
After the system application,all dimension scores of nurses' performance management satisfaction,all dimension scores and the total scores of nursing quality were significantly higher than those before the application,and all differences were statistically significant(all P<0.001).
