Data were collected through an online survey. Screen time was assessed with 3 items covering total use of computers, smartphones, tablets, and television on a typical school day; bedtime with a single item on usual bedtime before school days; and daytime sleepiness with 4 items from the Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale.

背景:白天嗜睡在青少年中很普遍,并与多种健康和功能障碍有关。先前的研究已经确定数字媒体的使用和睡眠不足是关键的预测因素,但屏幕时间、睡眠和白天嗜睡之间的相互纵向关联仍未得到充分研究。目的:本研究考察了青少年屏幕时间、就寝时间和白天嗜睡时间之间的相互纵向关系。它还测试了屏幕时间的潜在不利影响是否随着时间的推移而不那么明显,这些青少年在睡前将屏幕暴露在基线上。方法:我们对2500名捷克青少年(平均年龄13.43岁,标准差1.70岁;1250/2500,50%为女孩)进行了为期6个月的前瞻性3波面板研究。数据是通过在线调查收集的。屏幕时间通过3个项目进行评估,包括在一个典型的上学日里,电脑、智能手机、平板电脑和电视的总使用情况;在上学前的正常就寝时间只做一件事;日间嗜睡和日间嗜睡,其中4项来自儿科日间嗜睡量表。睡前1小时的屏幕时间限制作为调节因素。年龄和性别被纳入协变量。结果:使用随机截距交叉滞后面板模型估计人与人之间和人与人之间的关联。屏幕时间较长的青少年报告的就寝时间较晚(r=0.23, 95% CI 0.15-0.31; P26=5.3; P= 0.51)。结论:本研究首次测试了青少年屏幕时间、就寝时间和白天嗜睡时间之间的纵向相互关联,同时分离了人与人之间的关联,从而解决了之前交叉滞后小组研究中常见的潜在偏差。研究结果表明,随着时间的推移,屏幕时间和就寝时间之间存在着复杂的、双向的、相互加强的相互作用,从而完善了理论上的理解——即使考虑到个体差异,而白天的困倦似乎并不受这种动态的影响。此外,与屏幕时间和就寝时间负相关的个人波动表明,这些行为在一定程度上是相互排斥的,可能是由共同的环境影响形成的。睡前限制看屏幕的时间并没有减轻对人的影响,这表明干预措施应该优先考虑一致的睡眠时间表,而不是仅仅关注减少看屏幕的时间。

<p><strong>Background: </strong>Nonadherence to antipsychotic medication remains one of the most substantial challenges in the management of schizophrenia, contributing to relapse, rehospitalization, and functional decline. Although psychoeducational interventions are a key intervention for relapse prevention, traditional formats often lack interactivity and cultural resonance, thereby limiting engagement and sustained impact. Digital health innovations offer an opportunity to improve both treatment adherence and user experience, but evidence in schizophrenia populations remains limited.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>This study aimed to evaluate the usage patterns, usability, and effectiveness of a narrative-based psychoeducational digital intervention designed to enhance medication adherence among individuals with schizophrenia in the maintenance phase. By employing a mixed methods design, the study integrated quantitative measures of adherence and functioning with qualitative insights into participants' experiences and perceptions.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A 6-month parallel mixed methods randomized controlled trial was conducted in community mental health settings in Shanghai. Seventy individuals with schizophrenia in a stable phase were randomly assigned (1:1) to the intervention group, which received the digital narrative-based psychoeducation application (Healing Town) in addition to routine community care, or to the control group, which received routine community rehabilitation only. Quantitative evaluation focused on medication adherence, drug attitude, social functioning, and psychiatric symptoms. In parallel, qualitative data were collected through semistructured interviews with patients, caregivers, and clinicians to examine intervention usage, usability, engagement, and perceived impact.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Seventy participants (mean age 44.2, SD 8.057 y; 61% male) were enrolled, and 69 (98.6%) completed the 6-month trial, with one dropout during the intervention period. At 6 months, the intervention group showed significantly higher medication adherence (mean difference 1.27, 95% CI 0.30-2.24; P=.02) and more positive drug attitudes (mean difference 3.41, 95% CI 1.18-5.65; P=.002) compared with controls.

背景:抗精神病药物的不依从性仍然是精神分裂症治疗中最重大的挑战之一,导致复发、再住院和功能下降。虽然心理教育干预是预防复发的关键干预措施,但传统形式往往缺乏互动性和文化共鸣,从而限制了参与和持续影响。数字健康创新为改善治疗依从性和用户体验提供了机会,但在精神分裂症人群中的证据仍然有限。目的:本研究旨在评估基于叙事的心理教育数字干预的使用模式、可用性和有效性,旨在提高精神分裂症患者在维持期的药物依从性。通过采用混合方法设计,该研究将依从性和功能的定量测量与参与者经验和感知的定性见解结合起来。方法:在上海市社区精神卫生机构进行为期6个月的平行混合随机对照试验。70名处于稳定期的精神分裂症患者被随机(1:1)分配到干预组,干预组接受基于数字叙事的心理教育应用(Healing Town)以及常规的社区护理,对照组只接受常规的社区康复。定量评价侧重于药物依从性、药物态度、社会功能和精神症状。同时,通过对患者、护理人员和临床医生的半结构化访谈收集定性数据,以检查干预措施的使用情况、可用性、参与度和感知影响。结果:70名参与者(平均年龄44.2岁,标准差8.057岁,61%为男性)入组,69名参与者(98.6%)完成了为期6个月的试验,1名参与者在干预期间退出。6个月时,干预组患者服药依从性显著高于对照组(平均差异1.27,95% CI 0.30-2.24; P= 0.02),积极用药态度显著高于对照组(平均差异3.41,95% CI 1.18-5.65; P= 0.002)。社会功能的改善在干预组内是显著的(P=.03),但组间无显著差异。精神症状组间无显著差异。定性研究结果确定了三个总体主题:(1)依从性和可用性——尽管一些患者描述了反馈语气和节奏方面的挑战,但患者报告了治疗知识、信心和动机的增强;(2)体验和态度——用户重视文化相关性、沉浸式叙事和游戏化元素,但偶尔会注意到过度刺激;(3)期望和建议——参与者表达了对个性化功能、提醒和动态内容的需求,以保持参与度。结论:这项混合方法的研究提供了初步证据,表明基于叙事的数字心理教育干预可能会提高精神分裂症患者在维持阶段的药物依从性和药物态度,同时被认为是有吸引力的、可用的和文化相关的。此外,定性研究结果表明,支持性反馈、自适应难度和个性化特征可以增强用户动机,优化未来的可扩展性。总的来说,这种基于叙事的数字心理教育代表了一种有前途的、具有潜在成本效益的支持社区精神康复的方法,值得进一步的纵向和多地点调查。

<p><strong>Background: </strong>Lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) among heavy smokers can decrease lung cancer mortality. Smoking cessation intervention is recommended within the screening program; however, the methods for smoking cessation in the LDCT screening context are not well established.

The recruitment was carried out by newspaper and internet advertisements and informing relevant health care units at hospital districts. The study participants (n=200), all at Oulu University Hospital, were randomized in 1:1 fashion to a yearly LDCT with standard smoking cessation (written material) or a stand-alone smartphone app-based cessation.

Background: The growing reliance on virtual consultations in primary care has reshaped traditional general practitioner (GP)-patient communication dynamics, presenting new challenges that affect care quality and safety.
Objective: This study explores communication challenges and gaps, particularly relevant to virtual consultations compared with face-to-face interactions, as well as identifying mitigation strategies from both GPs' and patients' perspectives.
Methods: This qualitative study employed 4 online focus group discussions with a purposive sample of UK-based GPs and patients. Data were analyzed using a deductive-inductive thematic approach with NVivo software. The extended Shannon-Weaver communication model and the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation and Behavior model guided the analysis of communication challenges and mitigation strategies, respectively. The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research were followed to ensure rigorous reporting.
Results: A total of 21 participants (12 patients and 9 GPs) took part in 4 online focus group discussions, 2 for patients and 2 for GPs. Six key themes on communication challenges emerged: 5 aligned with the extended Shannon-Weaver communication model (related to the sender-encoder, message, channel, receiver-decoder-feedback, and context), and a new one was inductively identified (patient autonomy and inclusivity). GPs, as senders, highlighted missing visual cues, affecting message clarity in remote communication channels. Patients, as receivers, reported difficulties explaining symptoms remotely, reduced emotional connection, and perceived empathy, linked to contextual challenges and the need for inclusive communication. Mitigation strategies were mapped to the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation and Behavior model: capability (training/resources), opportunity (triage/tools), and motivation (patient engagement/system adaptability), with participants emphasizing tailored training, standardized approaches, and flexible models to support effective and inclusive virtual communication.
Conclusions: This study highlights communication gaps in virtual consultations and proposes actionable mitigation strategies. Tailored use of virtual modalities, supported by structured training and policy efforts, is essential to ensure effective and safe remote communication.

Knowledge accuracy was 80% (8/10 items; 95% CI 49%-94%; n=5 participants; 2 items each), indicating that the system effectively supported learning and comprehension. Module completion was 100% (5/5; 95% CI 56.6%-100%).

背景:传统的康复研究经常排除有创伤性脑损伤(TBI)生活经历的个体的声音,导致干预缺乏相关性、可及性和有效性。基于社区的参与性研究(CBPR)提供了另一种框架,强调协作、权力分享以及与患者、护理人员和临床医生的持续参与。目的:本研究旨在应用CBPR指导前端设计(共情访谈、共情映射、人物角色),并评估电子问题解决培训(ePST)移动健康(mHealth)干预对TBI合作伙伴的社会技术-教学可用性。方法:以CBPR原则为指导,以学习经验设计为指导,采用多步骤、混合方法设计案例法。参与机制包括一个由33名成员组成的社区咨询委员会和10个社区参与工作室,这些工作室在双钻石模型的发现、定义、开发和交付阶段与创伤性脑损伤幸存者、护理人员、临床医生和研究人员进行接触。迭代活动包括共情访谈(n=14)、角色开发(n=10)、快速原型设计和5名TBI参与者使用有声思考协议和学习技术可用性综合评估工具进行可用性测试。结果:协同设计过程成功地将社区反馈转化为基于移情的、以用户为中心的原型,并系统地确定了单个合作伙伴方法所忽略的设计考虑因素。特定于tbi的设计需求出现了,包括对线性内容进展的需求,而不是分支导航,更高的技术性能标准,以及明确的内容信号,其清晰度优先于新颖的界面设计。有声思考协议显示,参与者在移动导航和分支结构方面遇到困难,但在顺序内容进展方面表现出色。此外,来自TBI患者、护理人员、临床医生和研究人员的输入导致了实际的改进,例如更短的微学习课程(5-12分钟)、更清晰的画外音音调和简化的导航,直接解决了提高可访问性和情感共鸣的研究目标。总体可用性高,使用学习技术可用性综合评估(CAUSLT)测量,平均得分为4.25分(SD 0.72; 95% CI 3.36-5.15; n=5)。知识正确率为80%(8/10项,95% CI为49%-94%,n=5名参与者,每人2项),表明系统有效支持学习和理解。模块完成率为100% (5/5;95% CI 56.6%-100%)。完成10节课的平均完成任务时间为每节课11.47分钟(标准差5.28;范围4.6-21.42),显示出很强的任务效率和参与度。在教学可用性领域观察到最高的评级,反映了界面清晰,直观,有利于学习。总的来说,这些发现表明,在所有设计阶段应用CBPR,可以产生专门为TBI患者量身定制的技术可靠、易于使用且具有教学意义的移动健康工具。结论:在整个设计和开发周期中持续的CBPR导致ePST对TBI患者的高可用性。最终,该研究实现了一个完整的周期管道,将持续的社区伙伴关系与可测量的可用性结果联系起来,为TBI的形成性移动健康发展制定了社区知情的设计原则和可重复的混合方法。

<p><strong>Background: </strong>Thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy represent the most successful stroke innovations over the last 30 years. Quantifying innovation in stroke is essential for identifying productive research lines and prioritizing funding, but health care lacks validated methods for measuring innovation.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>This study aimed to systematically evaluate the relationship between stroke-related patents and publications, demonstrate the feasibility of using large language models (LLMs) in this process, and identify the most rapidly advancing innovations in stroke care by mapping them to a theoretical innovation life cycle.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The Open Patent Services (European Patent Office) and PubMed databases were searched between 1993 and 2023 for "stroke OR cerebrovascular." In this bibliometric patent-publication analysis, a 13 billion-parameter Llama LLM was trained to identify patents related to stroke disease, as opposed to other references to the word "stroke," on a manually labeled subset of 5000 patents and assessed using 5-fold cross-validation. The LLM filtered irrelevant results, and the resulting patent codes were grouped into innovation clusters. For each cluster, annual patent and publication counts were normalized to adjust for global trends. Cluster-specific growth curves were plotted to analyze the rates and characteristics of growth. The innovation life cycle stage for each innovation cluster was estimated by fitting a sigmoid curve to the patent and publication data consistent with the diffusion of innovations theory by Rogers.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The cross-validated accuracy of the LLM was 99.2%, with a sensitivity of 96.5% and a specificity of 99.6%. An initial bibliometric search retrieved 237,035 patents and 486,664 research publications. A manual review of a random sample of patents before filtering revealed that only 11.2% (56/500) were relevant to stroke. After LLM filtering, of the 237,035 patents, 28,225 (11.9%) stroke-related patents remained. These were grouped into 7 innovation clusters: pharmacological treatment, alternative medicine, rehabilitation devices, medical imaging, diagnostic testing, surgical devices, and artificial intelligence (AI) methods. Patent and publication counts were strongly correlated across clusters (Spearman r<sub>s</sub>=0.65-0.92; P<.006) except for pharmacological treatment (r<sub>s</sub>=0.09) and alternative medicine (r<sub>s</sub>=0.55). Pharmacological treatments were the top-performing cluster over the last 30 years, accounting for 49.3% (36,005/73,094) of all patents, but patent activity in this area has plateaued since the late 2000s. AI methods, rehabilitation devices, and medical imaging exhibited exponential rates of patent growth, with annual normalized increases of 39.2%, 15.9%, and 5.8% compared to 16.9%, 5.3%, and 2.2% for publications, respectively.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Applying an LLM
