Objective: To understand the current status of self-efficacy in nurses working in the emergency department of tertiary hospitals in a prefecture-level city and to explore the correlation between self-efficacy and occupational burnout. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted with 140 registered nurses working in the emergency departments of seven tertiary hospitals in a certain city using a general information survey, the General Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Descriptive analysis, univariate analysis, and correlation analysis were performed to analyze the data. Results: A total of 136 valid questionnaires were collected (97.14%). The average score for general self-efficacy was (2.62 ± 0.53), indicating a moderate level. The scores for the various dimensions of occupational burnout in emergency department nurses were as follows: Emotional Exhaustion (26.61 ± 10.87), Depersonalization (12.06 ± 6.67), indicating severe burnout; Personal Accomplishment (40.64 ± 9.95), indicating mild burnout. The self-efficacy score of emergency department nurses was negatively correlated with emotional exhaustion and depersonalization (P < 0.01) and positively correlated with personal accomplishment (P < 0.02). Conclusion: Occupational burnout in emergency department nurses should be addressed, and improving their self-efficacy can help reduce burnout.

The teaching evaluation system is an important mechanism for the quality assurance of nursing education, which can comprehensively and systematically evaluate the learning effectiveness of students, the teaching quality of teachers, and the scientificity of curriculum design. However, the current evaluation system has some problems, such as the singleness and one-sidedness of evaluation criteria, the limitations and deficiencies of evaluation methods, the singleness and subjectivity of evaluation subjects, the insufficient feedback and application of evaluation results, the disconnection between evaluation system and clinical practice, and the lack of continuous improvement mechanism. In order to promote the continuous improvement of the quality of nursing education, this paper proposes optimization strategies such as establishing diversified evaluation criteria, innovating evaluation methods and technologies, strengthening the feedback and application of evaluation results, strengthening the connection between evaluation system and clinical practice, and establishing an evaluation mechanism for continuous improvement.

This article provides an in-depth discussion of the impact of general practice nursing on the lives of patients with chronic diseases. General Nursing is an integrated model of care that encompasses health, prevention, rehabilitation and nursing, focusing on the patient's overall health and long-term care needs. Patients with chronic diseases often face physiological, psychological, social and economic challenges, such as decreased physiological function, frequent psychological problems, impaired social skills, and increased economic burden. General practice nursing actively improves the physiological health of patients by regularly monitoring physiological indicators, providing pain management and comfort improvement, and preventing complications. At the same time, it also provides psychological counseling, emotion regulation training, and helps patients build a positive mindset. In addition, general practice nursing focuses on the involvement of family members, the use of community resources, and the enhancement of social support for patients. Economically, general practice reduces the burden on patients by reducing the number of hospitalizations and improving the efficiency of medical resource utilization. In summary, general practice nursing has a positive impact on the lives of people with chronic diseases and helps to improve their quality of life.

Cough variant asthma (CVA) in children primarily involves the lungs but is closely related to the heart, liver, spleen, and kidneys. The pathological factors are mainly wind, cold, and phlegm, with the fundamental pathogenesis characterized by yang deficiency. Persistent cold, hardened phlegm, and internal stagnation are often the underlying conditions. Clinically, the disease commonly presents as cold-fluid stagnation in the lungs, phlegm obstruction due to yang deficiency, and stubborn phlegm retention in the lungs. The primary treatment approach is using Shegan Mahuang Decoction to warm yang and dissolve retained fluid. A case study is attached as supporting evidence.

Cancer is a primary cause of mortality in humans. Conventional chemotherapy has hazardous side effects and numerous limitations, necessitating the urgent exploration of novel anti-cancer agents. Based on existing literature and data, this article reviews the anti-tumor mechanism, current application status, and future development of bee venom peptides. The research findings demonstrate that bee venom peptide, a natural cell lytic peptide, possesses many anti-tumor mechanisms, including the direct destruction of tumor cells, the induction of tumor cell apoptosis, and immunological modulation. It can disrupt the integrity of the cell membrane and lead to cell death. It can also activate apoptosis signaling pathways through endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and death receptors, promoting apoptosis of tumor cells. Meanwhile, it can reshape the immune microenvironment and stimulate immune responses. The author also discussed issues such as poor stability, low bioavailability, lack of targeting, and potential safety of bee venom peptides. In the future, it is recommended to develop new derivatives of bee venom peptides and optimize combination therapy strategies.
