    Objective To explore the mediating role of organizational self-esteem between inclusive leadership and clinical nurses' job performance. Methods A total of 460 clinical nurses from 3 grade-A tertiary hospitals in Henan province were selected by convenience sampling method. Then, they were surveyed using the inclusive leadership scale (ILS), organizational based self-esteem scale(OBSES) and nurse job performance scale(NJPS). Results The NJPS score was (27.44±7.98) points, respectively, and the first value was positively correlated with the latter two values (r=0.49, P<0.01; r=0.49, P<0.01). Moreover, the OBSES score was positively correlated with the NJPS score (r=0.75, P<0.01). The mediating effect test showed that organizational self-esteem had a partial mediating effect between inclusive leadership and clinical nurses' job performance, accounting for 68.42% of the total effect. Conclusion Inclusive leadership is directly related to the job performance of clinical nurses, and indirectly affects it through the partial mediating effect of organizational self-esteem. It is suggested that nursing managers should actively practice the management concept of inclusive leadership, as well as understand, respect and support clinical nurses to improve their perception of inclusive leadership, then improve their job performance.

    Objective To explore the effect of comprehensive nursing based on the 4R crisis management theory in the management of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients with kinesiophobia. Methods A total of 132 TKA patients with kinesiophobia and admitted to the first affiliated hospital of Zhengzhou university between August 2023 and February 2024 were enrolled as research subjects by using a convenience sampling method.They were divided into an observation group and a control group, each of 66, according to random number table method. After total knee arthroplasty, the observation group was given comprehensive nursing based on the 4R crisis management, while the control group only received routine nursing care. The scores of kinesiophobia, knee function and pain of 2 groups within twelve hours after the operation and on the day of discharge. Results After the intervention, the kinesiophobia and pain scores of the observation group were significantly lower than that of the control group (t=7.290, P<0.001; t=7.552, P<0.001), while the score of knee function was significantly higher than the latter (t=-9.690, P<0.001).

    Objective To explore the effect of pressure inoculation training combined with spouse empathic nursing on mental resilience and delivery outcomes of high-risk primipara. Methods A total of 84 high-risk primipara admitted to the author's hospital between January 2023 to January 2024 were selected as research objects, and divided into a routine group and a combination group, each of 42, according to a random number table. Both groups were given routine nursing, while the combination group was additionally provided with pressure inoculation training combined with spouse empathy nursing. The cesarean section rate was compared between the two groups. Moreover, before and after the intervention, both groups were evaluated using the childbirth attitudes questionnaire (CAQ), Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC), and social support rating scale (SSRS). Results The CAQ score and cesarean section rate were significantly lower than that of the routine group (t=2.289, P=0.024; χ2=3.977, P=0.046). Moreover, the scores of CD-RISC and SSRS were significantly higher than the latter group (t=-2.591, P=0.011; t=-2.364, P=0.020). Conclusion Stress inoculation training combined with spouse empathic care can effectively reduce the fear of childbirth and the cesarean section rate, improve the psychological resilience, social support of high-risk primipara.

    Objective To assess the effects of progressive muscle relaxation training on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD). Methods The randomized controlled trials on progressive muscle relaxation training for patients with COPD were searched from PubMed,Web of Science,Embase, Cochrane Library,CNKI,VIP Database,and Wanfang Data. The risk of bias assessment of randomised controlled trials were performed according to the Cochrane manual, and Meta-analysis of included studies was performed using Stata 16 software. Results Six studies involving 463 patients diagnosed with COPD were included.Progressive muscle relaxation training significantly reduced fatigue in COPD patients [SMD=-1.704,95% CI(-1.929, -1.479)],improved sleep quality [SMD=-1.643,95%Cl(-2.787, -0.498)],and alleviated breathlessness [SMD=-1.375, 95%CI(-2.061, -0.690)]. However,it did not have a significant impact on patients' anxiety [SMD=-0.873, 95%CI(-2.040, 0.295)]. Conclusion Progressive muscle relaxation training demonstrates potential in ameliorating fatigue,breathlessness,and enhancing sleep quality among COPD patients.
