Objectives: The objective of this study was to examine the effect of nursing intervention based on Nel Noddings care theory on self-management behavior and symptomatic improvement in school-age asthmatic children in China. Methods: In this study, a sample of 100 school-aged children suffering from asthma was chosen, and divided into two groups: observation group and control group. Both groups received routine nursing but the observation group was combined with nursing intervention based on Nel Noddings theory.Results:The total scores of social psychologies, daily life, disease medicine and self-management in the observation group before intervention were similar to those in the control group. The self-management scores of the observation group after intervention were higher than those of the control group. The improvement time of wheezing and cough in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group. The total number of complete compliance and partial compliance in the observation group was higher than that in the control group. Conclusion: The application of nursing intervention based on Nel Noddings care theory to the nursing of school-age asthmatic children can improve the self-management ability of children, promote the recovery of cough, wheezing and other symptoms, and is of great significance to improve the compliance and nursing effect of children, with high popularization and application value.

Objectives: In this study, we analyzed negative online public opinion in tertiary hospitals and evaluated corresponding risk by applying the Kaiser Model. Methods: Through data and expert group discussion, combined with the hospital's actual negative online public opinion management, we determined the opinions posing higher risk. The hospital's risk questionnaire for negative opinion was designed based on the Kaiser Model. The whole hospital staff was then trained and investigated. An Excel worksheet was used for statistical analysis and risk calculation.Results: According to the ranking of risk value, the top 5 negative online public opinions were drug supply and demand, in-hospital parking, handling of public health emergencies, the service attitude of hospital guidance staff, and interpretation of medical insurance policies. Conclusion: The hospital needs to revise and improve the emergency response plan for negative online public opinion based on the analysis results and reports of opinion risks. This is helpful for strengthening hospital-level emergency training, improving the hospital's ability to manage negative opinion risks, and promoting the hospital to become passive about negative online public opinion.

Objective: The objective of this research was to determine the impact of glucocorticoid treatment on preventing scarring of lung parenchyma in COVID-19 patients by considering their health behavior. Methods: A sample of 65 Turkish patients who had pneumonia and were hospitalized between March/December 2020 were included in this research. The data for this research was collected after the consent of the hospital. The structural equation model approach was used in data analysis and empirical findings. Results: The research identified that the patients with appropriate health behavior were satisfied with their clinical treatment of scarring of lung parenchyma by the method of glucocorticoid treatment. The research also identified that the patient's health behavior was a significant indicator to improve their perception of the clinical treatment. Conclusion: This study has reliable theoretical implications that are significantly important in the literature because of the nature and uniqueness of the findings. However, this research also has some practical implications related to the patient's lungs mostly infected by COVID-19. Furthermore, the findings of this research can be generalized in a significant way because the respondents of this research belonged to a diverse population.

Objective: The novel objective of this research was to evaluate post-operative patient satisfaction among Turkish patients who decided to have rhinoplasty by seeing their pre-operative and post-operative images on social media. Method: This research compared and evaluated the collected data from three patient groups, namely Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3 to investigate the satisfaction level of the patients after the first year of the surgery. Result: The study found that the number of patients who decided to get rhinoplasty done after looking at images from social media were similar to other groups according to surgeon's scores. However, it was determined that the patient satisfaction of those who came after looking at images from social media was lower by a large margin and their expectations were not met by rhinoplasty. Conclusion: This research presented a novel theoretical implication that was not determined and evaluated by other studies in prior studies. The contribution of this research has reliable justification to improve patient satisfaction based on their health behavior to improve their level of satisfaction with rhinoplasty.

Objectives: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is objectively measurable after anesthesia and surgery. Lower heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with poorer cognitive performance, but the relationship between HRV and POCD remains unclear. Methods: Elderly patients who underwent total hip replacement under general anesthesia from the Department of Bone and Joint Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University were enrolled. Neuropsychological tests, standard deviation of the interbeat interval (SDNN, a parameter of HRV), and plasma concentrations of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factors (GDNF) were performed one day before (T-1) and 7 days after (T7) surgery. Results: POCD occurred in 35% of patients on 7 days after surgery. Lower SDNN(T7) (OR=.91) and longer surgery time (OR=1.33) were associated with POCD. Compared with patients without POCD, there was higher variation SDNN (Δ SDNN) and plasma GDNF (ΔGDNF) in those with POCD from T-1 to T7 period. ΔGDNF is positively correlated with ΔSDNN (r = .61, p<.001). Conclusions: Lower SDNN (T7) was associated with POCD and might be used as a warning indicator for the risk of POCD.

Objectives: Preeclampsia/eclampsia (PE-E) is a significant cause of maternal morbidities and mortalities in many countries. To expand this topic, the prime aim of this study was to examine the linkage of neuropsychological changes with PE-E in pregnant women. In addition, this study also analyzed the impact of numerous health behavior on development of PE-E in pregnant women. Methods: Employing the quantitative methodology, the data was collected from 350 pregnant women from hospitals in Turkey.Results: The findings of study indicate that health behavior associated with negative psychological predictors indicate significant association with risk of PE-E in pregnant women. Accordingly, sadness,anxiety, depression, disgust and distress were found as negative and significant predictor of PE-E. Inaddition, the health behavior associated with positive psychological predictors like love, joy, happiness and acceptance were found positive predictor as they improved the healthcare behavior and reduced risk of PE-E in pregnant women. Conclusions: Consequently, the study indicated that pregnantwomen with neuropsychological distress have twice threat of development of PE-E as compared to normal pregnant women. This study has significant implications for health sector and recommends encouraging positive health behavior to avert effect of PE-E on pregnancy and birth outcomes.

Objective: This study compares between two types of care for older adults’ health, viz., home -based care and. Institution-based care in the context of China, and further explored the impact of each care type on their health. Methods: A fully aligned polygonal graphical indexing method, t-tests, logistic binary regression analysis were performed using SPSS for data analysis. Results: In both care types, females had higherincidence of one or more chronic disease than males, as well as anxiety. However, hypertension was the chronic disease with the highest incidence, higher in males than females. Care types had significant impact on variables like self-reported health (OR=0.329, [CI95%=0.107–1.010], p<0.05) and mental health (OR=0.567, [CI95%=0.364–0.881], p<0.05), but had no significant impact on the objective physical health (OR=1.010,[CI95%=0.577–1.767], p>0.05). Conclusion: Both the types of care of older adults showed a significant impact on the self-reported and mental health, but only a significant difference was made on their mental health. Information exchange and emotional communication through smart facilities and the Internet usability, such as eHealth training, intelligent old-age care may be good interventions to improve older adults’ health.

Objectives: Mental health is determined by the way students think, feel, behave and interact with peerssocially and professionally. Metacognition guides students’ cognitive thinking strategies to achieve academicsuccess as well as other cognitive health outcomes. It prevents any kind of psychological distress andregulate their emotive-cognition health behavior. The current research aimed to investigate the role ofmetacognitive components and awareness in relation to mental health conditions and identify potentialareas of strengths and weaknesses of students enrolled at Al Ain University (AAU). Methods: A descriptivestudy design was employed, involving 512 participants and the data was collected using the Meta-Cognitive Awareness Inventory. Results: The results demonstrate a notable insufficiency in metacognitivethinking skills among AAU students, which highlights the necessity of incorporating metacognitivelearning practices as effective health behavior among students. Conclusion: The research findings holdsignificant implications for optimizing educational practices and health behavior to enhance students’ metacognitive abilities. Educators and researchers can develop targeted health behavior and instructional strategies to promote metacognitive growth by identifying specific areas of strength and weakness. The results of this study contribute to the existing literature on metacognition and health behavior, providing valuable insights for fostering effective learning environments within higher education institutions (HEIs).
