    Objective To investigate the application effect of a mobile App-based home self-monitoring and nursing early warning system integrating abdominal circumference, body weight, and urine output in patients with liver cirrhosis. Methods A total of 92 liver cirrhosis patients admitted to the department of gastroenterology and oncology in Nanning Eighth People′s Hospital, between February 2024 and April 2025 were selected and randomly assigned to a control group and an observation group, each of 46. Both groups received routine home care, while the observation group was applied a mobile App-based home self-monitoring and nursing early warning system integrating abdominal circumference, body weight, and urine output. After 6 months of intervention, the incidence of complications, the 6-month all-cause readmission rate, and the ascites-related readmission rate, monitoring compliance, and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results The incidences of ascites-related progression and electrolyte disturbance were significantly lower in the observation group than those in the control group (χ2=4.423, P=0.035; χ2=4.039, P=0.044). The 6-month all-cause readmission rate and ascites-related readmission rate in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(χ2=4.842, P=0.028; χ2=4.039, P=0.045). Moreover, the monitoring compliance score and nursing satisfaction rate of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (t=16.237, P<0.001; χ2=7.256, P=0.007).

    Objective To investigate the current situation of perceived job instability among junior nurses, and analyze its influencing factors. Methods Between August and October 2025, 300 junior nurses were selected from two grade-A tertiary hospitals in Shihezi City using the convenience sampling method. They were surveyed using a general information questionnaire, the nurse job instability scale, and the effort-reward imbalance questionnaire. Results The score for perceived job instability among junior nurses was 9.00(5.00,15.00) points. The score of job instability was positively correlated with the score of effort-reward imbalance (r=0.224, P<0.001). Generalized linear regression analysis showed that gender, years of service, the number of night shifts per month, personal average monthly income, perceived difficulty of professional title promotion, sleep quality affected by work, experience of nurse-patient disputes and effort-reward imbalance were influencing factors of perceived job instability among junior nurses(P<0.05). Conclusion The perceived job instability among junior nurses is at a medium level. The factors influencing their perception of job instability are multifaceted. Nursing managers should formulate targeted intervention measures based on them to reduce the perceived job instability among junior nurses.
