In December 2022, a large population infected with COVID-19 emerged in China, including frontline nurses. To maintain the medical system's function, many infected nurses returned to work before full recovery. This study aims to examine the characteristics of work resumption behaviour among the infected nurses and its influencing factors.
A nationwide cross-sectional study utilising questionnaire data.
An indicator was developed to assess the work resumption behaviour: work resumption type (autonomous work resumption, constrained work resumption). As the possible influencing factors of work resumption type, professional commitment, organisational commitment and psychological capital were included and measured by the Professional Commitment Scale (PCS), Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ), and Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ). The logistic regression models were applied to estimate the association between the score of the PCS, OCQ, PCQ, and work resumption type.
A total of 30,062 nurses were included. The mean time of nurses returning to work after infection was 1.8 days, with 88.6% exhibiting autonomous work resumption behaviour. One standard deviation increment in the score of the PCS, OCQ, and PCQ was associated with a 41% (OR = 1.41), 29% (OR = 1.29) and 42% (OR = 1.42) average increase in the odds of having an autonomous work resumption, respectively.
The majority of nurses returned to work before full recovery during the pandemic. Elevated professional commitment, organisational commitment and psychological capital were associated with autonomous work resumption behaviour.
The large-scale work resumption in this emerging infectious disease outbreak demonstrated that the healthcare system should reevaluate nursing workforce growth targets for pandemics. It is still warranted for future research to explore the long-term effects of work resumption on individual and organisational levels.

The lack of systematic and comprehensive clinical nutrition management practices for patients with chronic wounds necessitates the construction of a scientifically-based, standardised, normalised nutrition management guidance procedure for these patients in clinical settings. The purpose of this study was to: (i) summarise the best evidence for nutrition management in patients with chronic wounds by performing a systematic literature search and rigorous evaluation, and (ii) construct a nutrition management guidance flowchart for these patients based on best evidence. We reported the best evidence summary for nutrition management in patients with chronic wounds by following the Evidence Summary Reporting Standard of Fudan University Evidence-Based Care Center. An expert panel was established to construct a flowchart of nutrition management guidance for patients with chronic wounds by discussing existing evidence entries. After the quality evaluation, 17 studies (5 guidelines and 12 systematic reviews) were included, which provided extractable data for this summary of evidence. The best evidence of nutrition management in patients with chronic wounds was summarised, and a nutrition management guidance flowchart based on this was constructed, which can provide references for medical staff to guide nutrition management for patients with chronic wounds. Looking ahead, more high-quality research is needed to focus on specific personalised nutrition management programmes for patients with chronic wounds.
Establishing a nomogram to estimate the probability of oral mucosal membrane pressure injury of endotracheal tube-intubated hospitalized patients in intensive care unit.
Multicentre prospective cohort study.
Using Lasso regression and COX regression, variable selection was performed on demographic, clinical and laboratory data of 1037 ICU endotracheal tube-intubated hospitalized patients from West China Hospital, to construct a nomogram. External validation was conducted on 484 ICU endotracheal tube-intubated patients from People's Hospital of Zhongjiang County.
Among 38 potential predictors, five variables emerged as independent predictors, integrated into the nomogram: administration of antibiotics, nutritional therapy duration, agitation, hypotension and albumin levels.
We established a nomogram based on the hospital characteristics of ICU endotracheal tube-intubated patients, aiding in the prediction of the occurrence of oral mucosal membrane pressure injury.
The study followed TRIPOD guidelines.
The nomogram we developed can assist clinical worker in better identifying at-risk patients and risk factors. It enables the implementation of evidence-based nursing interventions in care to prevent the development of oral mucosal membrane pressure injury.
The study has been registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (http://www.chictr.org.cn) under registration number ChiCTR2200056615.
Current guidelines stress the importance of exercise, especially multicomponent exercise to older adults with chronic conditions.
To critically synthesise evidence that evaluates the effects of multicomponent exercise on quality of life, depression and anxiety after stroke.
Systematic review and meta-analysis followed the PRISMA 2020 statement.
A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL and PsycINFO from inception to 12 June 2023 was performed. Risk of bias was assessed using the Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomised trials (RoB 2). Meta-analyses were conducted using Review Manager 5.4 and narrative syntheses were adopted whenever meta-analysis was inappropriate. The overall certainty of the evidence was rated using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach.
Of 15,351 records identified, nine were eligible and data were available for seven randomised controlled trials, three of which were identified as having a high risk of bias, one as low risk, and five as having some concerns. Subgroup pooled analyses indicated that multicomponent exercise engaged in longer exercise sessions (>60 min) was effective in improving quality of life immediately post-intervention and through 3–6 months post-intervention. However, multicomponent exercise did not significantly affect depression and anxiety.
Multicomponent exercise with longer duration of exercise sessions has promising effects on both short- to medium-term quality of life among stroke survivors.
This does not apply to our work as it is a review paper.
Healthcare providers could consider encouraging the patients to participate in multicomponent exercise sessions for more than 60 min. It is important to note that stroke survivors should be supervised by trained personnel at the beginning of the training.
The protocol was registered on PROSPERO.
