Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of narrative education on the quality of humanistic caring of undergraduate nursing students. Methods The Class 2015 and 2016 nursing undergraduates in our college were divided into two groups according to their grades. For the Class 2016 undergraduate nursing students, we used the stories of 73 Chinese Nightingale Prize winner as narrative education materials in the course of humanistic culture. According to the stories, the students were asked to write a speech as an assignment and participate in the speech contests organised in classes and in the school. The humanistic care quality scale was used to investigate the students’ humanistic caring quality before and after intervention, and the results were also used to make comparison with the result from students of Class 2015, who did not have humanistic caring courses. Results The total score (t=3.297, P=0.001), caring concept (t=2.784, P=0.006), caring perception (t=3.752, P<0.001), caring ability scores (t=2.160, P=0.032) of Class 2016 were higher than grade 2015 nursing students in the level of the same period, and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion The method of narrative education based on the stories of Nightingale Prize winner can effectively improve the humanistic caring quality of undergraduate nursing students.

Abstract: Since to the nursing problems existing in percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for elderly patients, the effect of individualized music nursing during the PVP operation was summarized and analyzed. 80 cases of PVP patients over 60 years old were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group. In the experimental group, PVP patients were treated with individualized music nursing, but the control group was treated with the conventional surgical environment. Patients’ music background were compared between the two groups. The preoperative and intraoperative anxiety scores of patients based on the State Anxiety Questionnaire (S-AI) were analyzed in two groups. And coordination between doctor and patients during the surgery were also evaluated. Results showed that there was no significant difference in the music background between the two groups (P> 0.05). In addition, there was no significant difference in preoperative anxiety scores between the two groups (P>0.05), but there were significant differences in the intraoperative anxiety scores between the two groups (P<0.05). Furthermore, patients treated with individualized music nursing had better surgical cooperation than the control group (P<0.05), and the satisfaction rate of doctors (82.5%) was higher than the control group (47.5%). In conclusion, the application of individualized music nursing in PVP surgery for elderly patients could reduce the patients' anxiety and facilitate collaboration between doctors and patients during operation.

Many higher institutions of nursing are interested in for improving nursing students’ academic results by demonstrating emotional intelligence competencies. The aim of the study is to assess the perception of emotional intelligence self-assessment among nursing students. Accordingly, a quantitative and descriptive cross-sectional design was used in this study in which data was collected by distributing a questionnaire among nursing students (N=326) in the Faculty of Nursing, Alexandria University. The findings of the study revealed that the highest mean of nursing students was for social-emotional management, while the lowest mean was for emotional awareness. Also, there was a significant statistical difference between the perception of nursing students’ emotional intelligence and their educational level. In conclusion, enhancing emotional intelligence skills among nursing students is essential for their academic performance as well as their profession. Hence, it should be introduced in the nursing curriculum to improve the quality of critical thinking to graduating in their fourth year including workshops to integrate the theoretical studies with clinical practice.
