Objective To explore the application of the Handbook for the Training Nurses in the standardized training for nurses in pediatric surgery. Methods Twenty-four training nurses trained under the instruction of the Handbook for the Training Nurses in Department of Pediatric Surgery from July 2014 to December 2015 were included as the observation group. Their training effects were compared historically with those of twenty-four training nurses who were trained without the help of the handbook from January 2013 to June 2014 (the control group). Results After the completion of the half-year training, theoretical score of training nurses in the observation group was better than that in the control group, and the difference was significant (87.16±4.18 vs. 83.71±5.46; t=2.492, P=0.016). Meanwhile, the specialist practical skill examination of training nurses in the observation group, such as femoral vein blood collection, replacement of drainage bag and indwelling needle infusion in children, and emergency practical skill examination such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of simple respirator were higher than those in the control group; and the working performance scores of training nurses in the observation group, such as the ability to adapt to the environment, patient satisfaction, nursing document writing, work efficiency and morning questions were better than those in the control group; the differences were significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion The Handbook for the Training Nurses can help the training nurses to adjust their working environment, master the practical skills and nursing knowledge in pediatric surgery.
Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a revolutionizing technology that disrupts traditional human-computer interaction by establishing direct communication and control between the brain and computer, bypassing the peripheral nervous and muscular systems. With the rapid advancement of BCI technology, growing application demands, and an increasing need for specialized BCI professionals, a new academic major—BCI major—has gradually emerged. However, few studies to date have discussed the interdisciplinary nature and training framework of this emerging major. To address this gap, this paper first introduced the application demands of BCI, including the demand for BCI technology in both medical and non-medical fields. The paper also described the interdisciplinary nature of the BCI major and the urgent need for specialized professionals in this field. Subsequently, a training program of the BCI major was presented, with careful consideration of the multidisciplinary nature of BCI research and development, along with recommendations for curriculum structure and credit distribution. Additionally, the facing challenges of the construction of the BCI major were analyzed, and suggested strategies for addressing these challenges were offered. Finally, the future of the BCI major was envisioned. It is hoped that this paper will provide valuable reference for the development and construction of the BCI major.
