Objectives: In this paper, we discuss the spatial aggregation and evolution of COVID-19 in China and identify the risk factors affecting the spread of the disease. The aim is to provide insights that can be used to implement timely and effective interventions in the face of similar infectious diseases in the future and to ensure the safety of people around the world. Methods: We used spatial statistics and measurement methods to analyze the spatial aggregation and evolution of COVID-19 in China. We carried out spatial visualization mapping and spatial statistical analysis on the data of the epidemic. Various risk factors of COVID-19 spread at the provincial level in China were comprehensively discussed by combining geographic detector and spatial Dubin model. Results: The analysis revealed the spatial aggregation and evolution patterns of COVID-19 in China and the risk factors affecting the spread of the disease, including population density, transportation network, and climate factors. The geographic detector and spatial Dubin model were effective in identifying the risk factors, and the results provide valuable insights for implementing timely and effective interventions. Conclusions: We emphasize the importance of timely and effective interventions in the face of infectious diseases such as COVID-19. Our results can raise awareness of prevention and control and respond to potential outbreaks of similar infectious diseases in the future. The study provides a deep understanding of COVID-19 and its spatial patterns, and the insights gained can safeguard both lives and property worldwide.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of fine cooperation program of doctor-nurse integration on wound healing, patient's psychological state and pain degree of patients with chronic wounds. Methods: A total of 100 patients with chronic wounds who were treated with conventional wound management from March 2016 to December 2018 were enrolled as a control group, while another 100 patients with chronic wounds who were treated with the fine cooperation program of doctor-nurse integration during January to October 2020 were selected as an observation group. Nursing satisfaction, general conditions (waiting time for dressing change, hospitalization time, and wound healing time) and wound healing grade were observed, and the pain degree (scored by the simplified McGill scale) and psychological state [evaluated by Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS)] were compared between before intervention and on Day 5 of intervention. Results: The nursing satisfaction was higher and the waiting time for dressing change, hospitalization time and wound healing time were shorter in the observation group than those in the control group (P<0.05). On Day 5 of intervention, the present pain intensity, Visual Analogue Scale, pain rating index, SDS and SAS scores are seen declined in both groups compared with those before intervention, and they were lower in the observation group than those in the control group (P<0.05). The observation group had a higher wound healing grade than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The fine cooperation program of doctor-nurse integration can shorten the waiting time for dressing change and hospitalization time.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the COVID-19 vaccination willingness and the factors associated with vaccination hesitancy in Bulgarian patients with epilepsy. Methods: We included 103 (53 women and 50 men) Bulgarian patients with epilepsy. They completed a validated questionnaire about socio-demographic and epilepsy-related characteristics, history of COVID-19 disease and COVID-19 vaccination, attitudes towards vaccines, and sources of information about COVID-19 disease and vaccination. Results: One-third of the participants were vaccinated against COVID-19. The vaccination was associated with higher seizure severity p<.0015 (☓ 2 =5.95) and consultations with medical staff about vaccines p<.05 (☓ 2 =7.58). All of the vaccinated participants confirmed that vaccines were useful for most people without causing long-term adverse events or complications (p<.001, ☓ 2 =44.29), that vaccination was the only way to gain immunity apart from acquiring the disease itself (p<.001, ☓ 2 =23.97) and that vaccination was also useful in healthy people with no existing disease (p<.001, ☓ 2 =83.29). Conclusion: The results from our study suggest the need of a more active and directed to patients with epilepsy approach with provision of reliable information to the medical staff and general population.

Objective: Our aim was to determine the impact of health literacy on the Chinese population's regulation of emotions and the outcomes of such control. Methods: We collected cross-sectional data from the Chinese community (N=1,267) using a Likert scale questionnaire. We employed SPSS to check data normality and made estimations using confirmatory factor analysis and exploratory factor analysis via AMOS. Results: Health literacy significantly influences regulation of emotions. We found that emotions influence mental well-being, forming strong arguments, social relationships, and positive arguments. Conclusions: The Chinese government should provide health literacy opportunities to the public to have a favorable influence on health behavior. Training for the promoting health literacy is important to influence community health behavior. The regulated emotions in the Chinese community can be a way forward to improve health status. Similarly, regulated emotions help to improve arguments for better social relationships.

Background: Halitosis is considered unpleasant in social settings, including among family members and close friends. The level of halitosis acts as a negative factor in personal relationships and social activities and causes psychological and emotional problems such as discouragement by affecting isolation, and a sense of pride. We aimed to analyze the factors affecting halitosis, focusing on oral health and toothbrushing performance of people with intellectual disabilities. Methods: Study participants were 20 people with intellectual disabilities residing in a residential care facility. We assessed halitosis level using a 6-point Likert scale. We assessed oral pain using the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale. Debris and calculus level was assessed with the simplified oral hygiene index. The assessment of toothbrushing performance level performed using the Korean version of the Modified Barthel Index; performance time was measured with a stopwatch. Results: There was a statistically significant correlation between the level of halitosis and calculus (+), and toothbrushing performance level (−). As a result of casual relationship analysis, toothbrushing performance (−) was the only effect factor influencing halitosis level. Conclusions: To manage the halitosis level of people with intellectual disabilities, education and training for toothbrushing performance, as well as comprehensive assessment of performance are needed. Also, active interventions and approaches should be used to teach and maintain performance as a habit.

Objectives: Our aim was to explore the collaborative improvement of children's music appreciation ability and mental health level, so as to promote the application of music education in preschool children's mental health education activities. Methods: We first established a mathematical model for the degree of order and degree of collaboration of the complex system for the collaborative improvement of preschool children's music appreciation ability and mental health level; and then, based on the evolutionary game theory, we analyzed the choices of strategy in the 2 subsystems‐music appreciation ability cultivation and mental health improvement‐in the process of collaborative cultivation; finally, we investigated the preschool children's music appreciation ability and mental health level before and after the implementation of the collaborative improvement mechanism, and conducted regression analysis and correlation analysis on preschool children's music appreciation ability and mental health level. Results: We found that with the improvement of music appreciation ability, the mental health level of preschool children also improved. After the implementation of the collaborative improvement mechanism, all indicators of the music appreciation ability and mental health level of the preschool children were higher than those before the implementation of the mechanism. Conclusions: There is a positive correlation between preschool children's music appreciation ability and their mental health level, and the collaborative improvement mechanism proposed is effective.

Objectives: Watching mukbang contributes to changes in eating habits and related behaviors. In this study, we aimed to analyze the changes in supra-hyoid muscles′ activation and heart rate of college students according to watching mukbang. Methods: The study participants were 30 college students. During the watching of mukbang, water, and yogurt were allowed to be consumed, and then the changes in suprahyoid muscles′ activation and heart rate were analyzed. Surface EMG of VatalStim Plus was used to measure the supra-hyoid muscles′ activation and the average, maximum, and minimum values were measured. An Apple Watch measured heart rate and average heart rate was determined. Results: Through watching mukbang, the average and maximum values of the supra-hyoid muscles′ activation showed a statistically significant increase in the case of both food intakes. Conclusions: During food intake, watching mukbang induces changes in the supra-hyoid muscles′ activation. Therefore, the changes in food intake should be considered according to the increase in the supra-hyoid muscles′ activation due to the influence of watching mukbang. Follow-up studies to verify effects on eating behavior and intake should be conducted.

Objectives: To evaluate the impact of gender inequality (GIQ) on burnout (BR) among female healthcare workers in Saudi Arabia by incorporating the moderation effect of managerial role (MR) and internal relationship (IR). Methods: Survey-based research was conducted through non-probability sampling and a sample of 112 participants was utilized for analysis. Using AMOS, data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. Results: The findings showed that a positive and significant relationship existed between GIQ and BR in female healthcare workers in Saudi Arabia. Similarly, the moderating impact of MR and IR was found to be significant. However, while the MR strengthened the positive association between GIQ and BR, the IR suppressed the positive association between the two. Conclusion: The study provides implications for managers, healthcare workers, and policymakers to put greater efforts into reducing GIQ for an improved work environment and reduced burnout for female healthcare workers.

Objectives: This study was designed to examine future willingness to co-receive COVID-19 and influenza vaccines and factors associated with that willingness among outpatients with acute respiratory illness (ARI). Methods: Outpatients ≥15 years with respiratory symptoms for ≤10 days were surveyed about vaccination behaviors and intentions. We used multinomial logistic regression to assess associations between demographic, behavioral and health-related variables and willingness to co-receive future COVID-19 and influenza vaccines. Results: Among 856 patients, 41% had received ≥1 COVID-19 vaccines plus booster and 42% had received seasonal influenza vaccine; 47% reported willingness to co-receive COVID-19 and influenza vaccines with 25% unsure and 28% unwilling. Higher educational attainment (OR=1.80, p=.009), receipt of ≥1 COVID-19 vaccines (OR=4.29, p<.001), greater 5-year influenza vaccine uptake (annually OR=8.54, p<.001; sometimes OR=5.38, p<.001) and lower likelihood of testing COVID-19 positive (OR=0.68, p=.033) were significantly associated with willingness to co-receive compared to those decidedly opposed. Conclusions: Prior vaccination behavior predicted willingness to co-receive future COVID-19 and influenza vaccines. Efforts to encourage co-receipt are more likely to succeed among routine vaccine recipients. Vaccination promotion efforts for those hesitant or unwilling to co-receive these vaccines may need to focus on improving uptake of each vaccine individually.

Objectives: In this study, we investigated the sleep status of medical personnel in selected regions of China during the pandemic years of 2020 to 2022; we also considered their health behavior (HB). Methods: We used a random sampling method to select medical personnel for data collection in Shandong Province and its surrounding areas. For assessment instruments we used the General Situation Questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Inventory (PSQI), Self-Assessment Scale for Anxiety (SAS), and Self-Assessment Scale for Depression (SDS). Results: A total of 621 medical personnel participated, with a mean PSQI score of 11.37±3.79. The overall detection rate of insomnia was 88.73%, with 16.79% indicating severe insomnia. The primary sleep disorder among medical staff was daytime dysfunction, followed by difficulty falling asleep, poor sleep quality, and sleep efficiency. Various factors including age, education, position/title, abnormal menstruation, working age, income, night shift, and work intensity significantly influenced sleep quality. Advanced age, higher education, higher position/title, abnormal menstruation, working night shift, and higher work intensity emerged as risk factors; having longer working years was protective. Income was a compound factor affecting sleep. Conclusion: Increasing attention to the sleep situation of medical personnel is crucial, as these factors may impact their HB.

Results: A total of 621 medical personnel participated, with a mean PSQI score of 11.37±3.79. The overall detection rate of insomnia was 88.73%, with 16.79% indicating severe insomnia. The primary sleep disorder among medical staff was daytime dysfunction, followed by difficulty falling asleep, poor sleep quality, and sleep efficiency. Various factors including age, education, position/title, abnormal menstruation, working age, income, night shift, and work intensity significantly influenced sleep quality. Advanced age, higher education, higher position/title, abnormal menstruation, working night shift, and higher work intensity emerged as risk factors; having longer working years was protective. Income was a compound factor affecting sleep. Conclusion: Increasing attention to the sleep situation of medical personnel is crucial, as these factors may impact their HB.","PeriodicalId":7699,"journal":{"name":"American journal of health behavior","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136241733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
