Ministry of Health: Not paying enough attention to nursing should advance the position of nurses

Text/Reporter Liu Jianyun, Chen Xiang, Zhao Linlin, and Wang Fei “Guangzhou Daily” continued to report continuously that the “deep reason for the outflow of nurses” has caused strong concern among medical institutions, medical reform specialists, and health officials.

In an interview with this reporter yesterday, Ministry of Health spokesman Mao Qunan said that the status and treatment of Chinese nurses concerned by the Guangzhou Daily News urgently need to be raised. This is an important issue in the current health field in China. Foreign nurses have the advantage of high pay, respect, ease of job hunting, and extra points for immigration, which indeed attracts a large number of nurse talents in China. The stability of local nurse talent teams is facing challenges.

The reporter learned that as an important link in the reform of public hospitals, the high-quality care project advocated by the Ministry of Health is focusing on solving the problem of insufficient emphasis on nursing care and low status of nurses.

Ministry of Health: Insufficient attention to nursing The reason for the instability of nurses' talents, Ministry of Health spokesman Mao Qunan told reporters that foreign nurses interviewed by Guangzhou Daily reported high pay, respect, easy job seeking, and immigrants' extra points. The external factors that attract such advantages have also contributed to the internal reason that Chinese medical institutions and all walks of life do not recognize and attach importance to the importance of nursing.

A famous medical expert once stated the role of Health Care. “The importance of medical care should be 37, doctors actually only make up 30%, and the role of nurses actually accounts for 70%.” Mao Qun'an strongly agrees with this statement. He said that the problem now is that the important role of nursing in medical care has not been taken seriously. In fact, some hospitals in China are not at the doctor's level. In fact, the level of the nurses is not enough.

Due to historical reasons, Chinese hospitals have been in a state of self-reliance for a long time, and hospitals have been confronted with a series of problems such as the chronic diseases of medical reforms and the “medication of medicine” in hospitals. In the power game of hospital resources, doctors often take the initiative. Mao Qun'an expressed that the current relationship between doctors and nurses in China is relatively weak for nurses.

For the reason that the proportion of nurses in NPC deputies and CPPCC committees is smaller than that of doctors, Mao Qunan also commented that the election of NPC deputies or CPPCC members tends to focus on personal influence. In comparison, nurses who are assistants or behind-the-scenes heroes are not as likely to Doctors are valued and often have shortcomings in winning performance.

"Because of the lack of social respect and understanding of the importance of care, nurses are now facing a sense of professional honour crisis." Mao Qunan told reporters.

China has no shortage of nurse training mechanisms. The view that the nurse training structure in China is not perfect, Mao Qunan believes that this argument is worth exploring.

“We are keen to introduce Chinese nursing talents from abroad and explain from the side that China has the ability to train outstanding nursing talents.” Mao Qun'an told reporters, “In recent years, China has continuously strengthened the training of nursing talents, and the nurse training system has been continuously improved. At present, colleges and universities in higher education have opened nursing professions. Nursing senior talents are trained, and secondary education is also a constant layer of nursing personnel. Objectively speaking, Chinese nursing training ability is good, and both ability and skill level are high.”

Mao Qun'an said that in fact, the entire social health system gradually pays attention to nursing, and the Ministry of Health is currently deepening the "quality care project" and highlighting the important role of nursing care.

Comment on "Persons of Peking University Improper Nurses"

Regarding the embarrassment of Peking University Nursing Undergraduates who were found to be miscarried by Professor Li Ling during the investigation, Mao Qunan said that the senior nursing staff is actually a much-needed talent for the current Chinese hospital system. The failure of senior personnel to obtain accurate employment does not depend on which university they graduate from, but rather on the high level of care given to senior nursing staff. However, he also stated that China's truly qualified senior nursing staff is still generally lacking.

In fact, nurses in China also have promotion systems with different levels of professional titles, as well as industry entry qualification thresholds. The society’s emphasis on nurses and the sense of honor of nurses actually have an internal logic that is similar to “chicken eggs and chicken eggs”. The amount of social respect for nurses has also become an important basis for college students to choose nurses.

In addition, the fact that the current nurse is too busy is also a factor that cannot be ignored. Mao Qun'an said that medical institutions in developed countries often have a medical care ratio of more than one, while China still lacks one to one.

Way Out Chapters Improving Care Professional Treatment and Increasing Reasonable Care Fees For the famous medical reform specialist Li Ling’s suggestion that “the internal system of care should be straightened out and the long-term nursing plan should be formulated”, Mao Qun'an said that long-term planning must be studied and formulated, but currently More important and more pragmatic is to solve the problem of nurses' income increase.

He further stated that only by respecting the labor of the nurses and recognizing the importance of nursing in the medical sector can the hospital increase the treatment of nursing workers. “How can we eventually allow the hospital to save money for nurses? It is worth investigating the direction that, on the basis of reducing unreasonable fees, the appropriate increase in nursing fees should reflect the value of nursing technology.”

As a spokesperson for the health department's department, Mao Qun'an called for the whole society to respect nursing services. Health administrative departments at all levels should encourage medical institutions to pay attention to the role of nurses, seriously consider the issue of nurses' salary enhancement, and ensure the stability of nursing personnel.

The reporter learned that nursing income and bed income are classified as in-patient income in the healthcare system, while the latter mainly refers to income from medical services provided to inpatients, including bed income, inspection income, inspection income, laboratory income, and treatment income. Surgical income, nursing income, health material income, medicine income, general medical treatment income and other hospital income.

NPC deputy and provincial hospital director Lin Shuguang's treatment did not go up. NPC deputy and director of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital Lin Shuguang also paid close attention to the report of the report on the outflow of nurses. He said that the treatment of nurses is currently "a really big problem." He believes that one reason is that everyone's job requirements for nurses are getting higher and higher, but the treatment of nurses has not followed "increasingly high" and "nurse comrades will feel more and more pressure."

Lin Shuguang said that the problem of outflow of nurses is ultimately a problem of medical reform. Medical reform should still be back to the starting point of the overall consultation and must develop in a coordinated manner. For example, when the health department makes this request, other departments must keep up. After the Ministry of Health can not propose it, everyone applauds, but other departments do not keep up.

"Not only nurses, pediatricians have this problem, too." Lin Shuguang said that it is now that the pediatrician's fees cannot go up. At the same time, the demand for child care in the age of one child is very high. If pediatricians cannot afford treatment, he will change jobs. .

"The medical reform must be coordinated and negotiated!" Lin Shuguang emphasized.

Promoting high-quality nursing services and improving the division of labor The Ministry of Health issued the “Notice on the Highlights of the 2011 Hygienic Work” at the beginning of this year. In accelerating the pilot reform of public hospitals, the “high quality care service” was specifically emphasized. The notice pointed out that a long-term mechanism for controlling the unreasonable increase in medical expenses and increasing the value of technical labor services was studied. We will improve policy measures, appropriately increase the level of treatment for medical personnel, and reasonably determine the workload of medical personnel.

The reporter learned from the Ministry of Health that a national medical management conference was held in 2011. Ma Xiaowei, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Health, also made a special explanation on nursing issues at the meeting. He emphasized that, with basic medical needs not fully satisfied, with the advent of an aging society, medical rehabilitation, nursing, and retirement will be extended. The demand for services will soon be put on the agenda.

At the first regular meeting of the High Quality Nursing Service Demonstration Project in Jiangsu, which was affiliated with the hospital, the vice minister of the Ministry of Health Ma Xiaowei also specifically explained the connotation of the “Quality Nursing Service Demonstration Project”. Ma Xiaowei pointed out that: Demonstration project of high-quality nursing service "is more important to explore and pilot the bottleneck problems that restrict the development of nursing in clinical nursing mode, nursing management mode, performance appraisal method, salary distribution and incentive mechanism, and establish a long-term mechanism.
