Patient satisfaction with humanistic nursing in Chinese secondary and tertiary public hospitals: a cross-sectional survey.

Background: Humanistic care pertains to the abilities, attitudes, and behaviors central to patient-centered care, contributing to patients' sense of safety and wellbeing. This study aimed to assess the satisfaction of patients with humanistic nursing care in Chinese secondary and tertiary public hospitals.

Methods: A national cross-sectional survey was conducted across 30 provinces and 83 hospitals in China.

Biogenic Copper Selenide Nanoparticles for Near-Infrared Photothermal Therapy Application.

Near-infrared (NIR) photothermal therapy (PTT) is attractive for cancer treatment but is currently restricted by limited availability and insufficient NIR-II photoactivity of photothermal agents, for which artificial nanomaterials are usually used. Here, we report the first use of biogenic nanomaterials for PTT application. A fine-controlled extracellular biosynthesis of copper selenide nanoparticles (bio-CuSe) by MR-1 was realized.

Ultra-Stretchable Spiral Hybrid Conductive Fiber with 500%-Strain Electric Stability and Deformation-Independent Linear Temperature Response.

Stretchable configuration occupies priority in devising flexible conductors used in intelligent electronics and implantable sensors. While most conductive configurations cannot suppress electrical variations against extreme deformation and ignore inherent material characteristics. Herein, a spiral hybrid conductive fiber (SHCF) composed of aramid polymeric matrix and silver nanowires (AgNWs) coating is fabricated through shaping and dipping processes.

Polyacrylamide/Chitosan-Based Conductive Double Network Hydrogels with Outstanding Electrical and Mechanical Performance at Low Temperatures.

Hydrogel-based electronics have received growing attention because of their great flexibility and stretchability. However, the fabrication of conductive hydrogels with high stretchability, excellent toughness, outstanding sensitivity, and low-temperature stability still remains a great challenge. In this study, a type of conductive hydrogels consisting of a double network (DN) structure is synthesized.

Expert Consensus on Nurses' Human Caring for COVID-19 Patients in Different Sites.

This study aims to develop the expert consensus on nurse's human caring for Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients in different sites, and thus provide a guideline on providing whole process and systematic caring for COVID-19 patients. Based on the frontline experiences of human caring for COVID-19 patients and the review of literature, the initial draft of consensus was made and finalized after online meeting and revisions. The experts reached consensus on the following parts: terms and definitions, principles of human caring for COVID-19 patients, and human caring measures for COVID-19 patients in different sites.

[An epidemiological investigation on injection related risk factors].

Objective: To explore risk factors of injection-related sharp injury and to provide safety injection guidance to healthcare takers.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey and 1:1 case-control study was used to study the epidemiological features and risk factors of sharp injuries among 3010 clinical nurses and nurse students from 13 hospitals in Guangzhou. Logistic multiple factor analysis was used.
