Objective To investigate the status of knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of Standard Practice for Intravenous Nursing among nurses. Methods A total of 140 nurses were recruited and investigated with a self-designed questionnaire on March 16th, 2016. Results A total of 140 questionnaires were collected and 137 valid questionnaires were finally analyzed. Nurses’ KAP scores of Standard Practice for Intravenous Nursing were good. Hospital level, hospital characteristics, position and whether the nurses were specialized in intravenous nursing were influencing factors of the scores (P<0.05). Conclusions The general situation of KAP of Standard Practice for Intravenous Nursing is good, but nurses' knowledge on intravenous treatment is rather weak. Nurses should pay more attention to the knowledge of Standard Practice for Intravenous Nursing. Targeted education should be provided for nurses to promote the formation of positive attitude and healthy behaviors of clinical intravenous nursing practice.
The balance ability is the basic guarantee for the human body to maintain the posture and complete every daily life activity, and it is also an important physical quality index for the elderly. Insufficient balance ability may lead to falls among the elderly, which may lead to fractures, long-term pain, craniocerebral trauma, disability, and even death and other serious adverse consequences. Under the background of China’s rapid aging population and the strong advocacy of the combination of medical care and nursing, improving the balance ability of the elderly is an effective way to prevent the elderly from falling down, and is of great significance to reduce the accidental injury for the elderly. In this paper, the methods and the latest progress of balance function evaluation and training for the elderly at home and abroad are reviewed in order to provide reference for the formulation of intervention programs to improve the balance function of the elderly, so as to improve the quality of life of the elderly and open up a new path for the realization of healthy aging.
