Purpose:The purpose was to explore the experiences of nurses caring for patients with delirium in ICU in China.Methods: Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 14 ICU nurses in Beijing, China. Audio recordings of the transcripts were coded and analyzed thematically. Results:The emergent themes reflected clearly similar experiences and were titled as follows: Internal and external barriers to care; Care burden: workload, psychological pressure and injury; Dilemmas in decision-making: balancing risks and benefits. Conclusions:The results of this qualitative study have provided a rich description of the perceptions of a sample of nurses caring for patients with dementia in Beijing.Clearly, the nurses suffered from their work experiences in several aspects: they lacked the knowledge and skills required assessing and managing the patients as early as possible; they were physically and psychologically stressed while looking after the M A N U S C R I P T A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT patients and faced with dilemmas and compromises in their decision-making.

In this work, an irregular calixpyridinium−suramin sodium supramolecular assembly was constructed by the strong host−guest electrostatic interactions. More interestingly, a novel regular spherical supramolecular assembly was also fabricated by the hydrogen bonding interactions between suramin sodium and the UV accelerated addition product of deprotonated calixpyridinium in water. The same principle was also applied to construct a UV accelerated regular spherical self-assembly by the addition product of deprotonated calixpyridinium in water. Compared with the complicated and irreversible covalent connection of the light-responsive groups to the building block, which is one of the common means of obtaining light-responsive supramolecular systems, this finding not only provides a smart, facile, and universally applicable method to construct deprotonated calixpyridinium-based light-responsive host−guest systems but also provides a new idea for the development of other novel light-responsive building blocks.
