“…This may be due to the differences in the regions and populations. However, caregiver’s stress level was higher than that of Chinese healthcare workers ( Wang et al, 2022 ). 68.3% of the patients and 66.8% of the caregivers had high or excessive stress.…”

ObjectivesPatients’ and caregivers’ physical and mental health may interact. The theory of dyadic illness management holds that patients and caregivers should be regarded as a whole in health management. Previous studies have found that hemodialysis patients and their family caregivers experience poor sleep quality. Perceived stress and social support have effects on insomnia. However, the dyadic interaction between perceived stress, social support, and insomnia among hemodialysis patients and caregivers is unclear. This study aimed to explore the mediating role of social support in the association between perceived stress and insomnia in hemodialysis patient-caregiver dyads.MethodsA total of 259 hemodialysis patient-caregiver dyads completed the Chinese Perceived Stress Scales (CPSS), the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), and the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) in Lanzhou, China, from May 2022 to July 2022. The actor-partner interdependence mediation model analysis was used for data analysis.ResultsIn the actor effect, there was a significant positive correlation between perceived stress and insomnia in hemodialysis patients (β = 0.091, p = 0.001) and their family caregivers (β = 0.588, p < 0.001). Patient’s and caregiver’s social support played partial mediating roles in the relationship between caregiver’s perceived stress and insomnia (β = 0.135, p < 0.001 and β = 0.111, p < 0.001). In the partner effect, caregiver’s perceived stress was positively connected with patient’s insomnia (β = 0.915, p < 0.001), and the mediating effect of patient’s social support on the relationship between caregiver’s perceived stress and patient’s insomnia was statistically significant (β = −0.040, p = 0.046).ConclusionThe perceived stress, social support and insomnia of hemodialysis patients and their family caregivers had interactive effects. Effective dyadic-based interventions should be developed to improve hemodialysis patients’ and caregivers’ sleep quality.

Background There is variability in the structure of junior doctors’ knowledge of humanistic medicine. The level of residents’ emotional intelligence affects their professional development and the doctor-patient relationship. Currently, there is a paucity of research examining the humanistic competence and emotional intelligence of medical residents, both domestically and internationally.The primary objective of this study was to scrutinize the prevailing status of residents’ humanistic competence and emotional intelligence levels, aiming to assess the correlation between humanistic competence and emotional intelligence. Methods A cross-sectional survey using the Demographic Characteristics Questionnaire, the Humanistic Care Competence Scale, and the Emotional Intelligence Scale was conducted in September 2022 among residents of a tertiary general hospital in Sichuan Province. The relationship between humanistic care competence scores and emotional intelligence scores among residents was analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. Results The mean score of residents’ humanistic care competence was 188.82 ± 20.80, and the mean score of emotional intelligence was 87.08 ± 13.49.The Pearson correlation results demonstrated a significant correlation ( r = 0.400, p = 0.000) between the level of emotional intelligence and humanistic care competence. The results of multiple linear regression analysis indicated that self-emotional appraisal, emotional appraisal of others, emotional control, emotional use, and school community work experience independently predicted humanistic care competence. Conclusion The scores for residents’ humanistic care competence were notably low, influenced by a multitude of factors that also exhibited varying levels of impact on emotional intelligence development. Emotional intelligence was positively associated with humanistic care competence. Emotional intelligence is an important consideration in the development, implementation, and evaluation of humanistic care interventions. Residency programs should provide education and training in humanistic competencies to improve residents’ levels of emotional intelligence and promote the overall health of society.

Background As core members of hospice care team, the hospice nurses' ability to care for patients not only directly affects the standard of patient care, but also significantly impacts patient quality of life. It can be seen that it is very meaningful for patients to improve the caring behavior of hospice nurses. Therefore, it is necessary to deeply explore the influencing factors of nurses' caring behavior and further clarify the mechanism between them. MethodsThe STROBE guideline was performed to report this study. We conducted a cross-sectional survey from December 2023 to February 2024. In this study, 392 hospice nurses were recruited from tertiary public hospitals in East China by convenient sampling method. Participants were investigated using the Practice Environment Scale, Professional Identity Scale, and Caring Behaviors Inventory. Structural equation modelling was utilized to verify the research hypotheses. ResultsThe results revealed that there were significant and positive correlations between work environment, professional identity and caring behavior. Furthermore, professional identity partially mediated the relationship between work environment and caring behavior. ConclusionWork environment is critical to improving hospice nurses' caring behavior. Professional identity plays an intermediary role impacting how work environment promotes caring behavior among Chinese hospice nurses. Nursing managers should have a correct understanding of the relationship between them. Targeted measures and coping strategies need to be actively taken to create a better working environment for hospice nurses. This would enhance professional identity, and thereby promote caring behavior.
