【及早支援少數族裔精神健康：從「等到惡化」到「現在就可以」】
港大醫學院護理學院助理教授孫伊南教授於報章撰文，指出少數族裔的精神健康服務需要因應文化背景，提供度身訂造的支援，而非一概而論。在香港，部分服務仍欠缺文化敏感度，例如多語資訊不足、口譯質素參差、以及臨床溝通欠缺同理心，均可能令求助者感到難以表達、甚至被誤解，從而卻步。當求助成本高、體驗欠佳，到問題惡化才求助，亦逐漸成為常態。

此外，不少少數族裔把精神困擾視為禁忌或軟弱的表現，甚至與宗教信念掛鉤；為了顧及家族名聲，寧願把問題留在家中，避免向外求助。加上語言障礙、求職與升學壓力、微歧視、支援網絡薄弱及經濟困難等因素，情緒負擔容易累積，並面對來自族內及社會的「雙重污名」。

香港大學與小彬紀念基金會合作的社區隨機對照試驗顯示，為未接受治療但有輕度或以上心理困擾的南亞裔人士，提供八至十二週、經文化調適的多語言一對一認知行為輔導，能有效減輕抑鬱、焦慮與壓力，並改善生活質素。研究亦指出，相關介入具成本效益，值得進一步推廣。

孫教授建議，香港應把把切合不同文化背景需要的社區早期支援服務常規化，而非依賴零散的計劃推行。由加強多語言資訊、提升口譯質素、加强前線人員的文化敏感度培訓，到培育少數族裔從業員，以及推動校園去污名教育，都應納入整體制度設計。

【Visit from Professor Xi Chen of Yale School of Public Health】
We were delighted to welcome Professor Xi Chen, PhD, Associate Professor of Public Health (Health Policy) and Associate Professor at Institution for Social and Policy Studies at the Yale School of Public Health to the HKU School of Nursing for a meeting with our School Director, Professor Chia-Chin Lin.

The discussion covered key public health challenges, including population ageing, dementia care and the role of health policy in shaping sustainable care systems. There was a meaningful exchange on strengthening the integration of public health perspectives with nursing practice, particularly in advancing equitable, high-quality care across the life course.

We also explored opportunities for collaboration in areas such as healthy ageing, data-driven healthcare innovation, and global health research.

【心臟求救刻不容緩：勿待劇痛難耐才行動】
港大醫學院護理學院副教授李惠慈教授於報章撰文，指出心臟病發是奪命急症，不少人誤以為胸口劇痛才是心臟病發；然而，發病時症狀往往十分輕微，因此常被誤當成胃痛或勞損，以致錯失黃金搶救期。

李教授指出，女性、長者和糖尿病患者的徵狀往往更不典型。他們可能只感到異常疲倦、輕微活動便氣喘、上背痛或胃口變差，幾乎沒有明顯胸痛。最致命的誤解，是用「痛楚程度」來決定是否求診。事實上，心臟損傷分秒必爭，症狀時好時壞，反映血管處於間歇性阻塞與再通的狀態，而缺氧的心肌極易誘發「致命性心律不正」，隨時導致心臟瞬間停頓猝死。

所以，只要胸口或上半身出現不尋常的不適，持續數分鐘或反覆出現，並伴隨冒冷汗、氣促、頭暈或莫名心慌，就應視為警號。一旦懷疑心臟病發，請立刻停止活動，坐下休息，並馬上致電召喚救護車。

現時香港公立醫院正逐步設立「胸痛中心」或針對急性心肌梗塞的快速通道。 只要患者及早到達急症室，醫療團隊便能迅速為疑似患者進行心電圖及血液檢查；一旦確診，便會立即啟動心臟科團隊，進行緊急「通波仔」等搶救手術。

【Visit from Dr Hiromasa Okayasu of WHO】
We were pleased to meet Dr Hiromasa Okayasu, Director of Data, Strategy and Innovation, WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific, during his visit to HKUMED on June 8 and 9, 2026, for a series of events including a symposium, workshop and seminar on social prescribing, healthy ageing and AI in health care.

Professor Doris Yu from the HKU School of Nursing contributed to these events by presenting in the symposium, where she analysed Hong Kong’s urban health challenges through community‑clinical partnership models, facilitating the strategic workshop discussions, and serving as a discussant in the seminar, helping to enrich dialogue on innovation, equity, and people‑centred care.

Following these events, our School Director led our colleagues to engage in a productive discussion with Dr Okayasu, exchanging views on advancing social prescribing, strengthening data‑driven care, and addressing local ageing challenges within a global context. The dialogue fostered meaningful intellectual exchange and strengthened connections for future collaboration in advancing health systems and nursing leadership.

【強化醫護人員於基層醫療提供戒煙服務】

港大醫學院護理學院教授王文炳教授於報章撰文，指煙草產品具高度成癮性，吸煙者若採用實證為本的戒煙服務，可顯著提高成功率。醫護人員（包括醫生、護士及藥劑師）在推廣與提供戒煙治療方面扮演關鍵角色。世界衞生組織建議醫護人員主動詢問及跟進吸煙狀況，即使僅30秒的簡短干預，也能強化吸煙者對戒煙重要性的認知；反之，缺乏詢問或介入，或令吸煙者誤以為無需戒煙。

前線醫護人員每天接觸吸煙病人，提升其戒煙干預的質量與效率，有助病人獲得更合適的支援。過去40年，香港大學護理學院積極推動戒煙培訓，成功協助設立首間戒煙診所及舉辦護士培訓班，並將煙草控制納入學士及碩士課程，涵蓋煙草知識、行為轉變理論、輔導技巧、藥物應用及政策倡議。此外，學院聯同相關機構推出「戒煙培訓導師」計劃，培育教育者與領袖，促進戒煙介入融入課程與臨床常規，並開發網上教材，推廣極簡短戒煙建議及持續跟進。

學院亦進行多項教育研究，透過虛擬及擴增實境提升學生同理心和輔導成效。追蹤結果顯示，受訓護士提供戒煙干預的次數有所增加。相關成果已刊於學術期刊並獲國際獎項，現已應用於護理教育中。

【安全意識推廣活動 】
成為未來的專業護士，學生不僅需要掌握護理專業知識，更要時刻保持警覺，以病人安全為首要原則，緊守安全底線。為提升護理學生的安全意識和臨床推理與判斷能力，香港大學護理學學院舉辦了一系列安全意識比賽。當中，第一階段「辨識危險訊號」為個人線上挑戰，讓學生辨識各種危險訊號，為其後的實踐學習奠定基礎。

近日舉辦的第二階段「『勿失』，逃脫！」比賽以小組形式進行，透過模擬情境及互動挑戰，重現醫院緊張且分秒必爭的工作環境。參賽學生需要在限時及高壓情境下，細心觀察每一個細節，辨識潛在風險，並作出正確判斷和應對。過程中，學生不但提升了團隊合作、溝通及臨床判斷能力，更深刻體會到病人安全是照顧病人時必須堅守的核心價值，從實踐中學習和成長。

各位護理學生在今次學習過程中，都深深體會到以病人安全為本的護理精神。期待他們日後能在臨床實踐中學以致用，將病人安全理念融入專業護理工作之中。

【Safety Awareness Campaign】
To become future nurses, students must not only master nursing knowledge but also remain vigilant and uphold patient safety as their top priority. To enhance nursing students’ safety awareness, clinical reasoning and judgement, HKU School of Nursing organised a series of Safety Awareness Campaign activities. In Tier 1, the individual online challenge “Spot the Red Flags” invited students to identify a range of warning signs, laying the groundwork for the next stage of experiential learning.

In Tier 2, “Safety Room Escape” was conducted in a team-based format, recreating the fast-paced hospital environment through simulated scenarios and interactive challenges. Under time pressure, students were required to observe carefully, identify potential risks, and make accurate clinical judgements and responses. Through the process, they strengthened their teamwork, communication, and clinical judgement skills, while gaining a deeper understanding that patient safety is a core value that must always be upheld in patient care.

Through this learning experience, our nursing students developed a deeper appreciation of patient safety as a core value in nursing. We look forward to seeing them carry these lessons into future practice and continue to uphold patient safety in their professional care.
