ABSTRACT
The rural health service is the important part of China’s health initiative and improving the rural grass-root health technical capabilities and service level marks the strategic initiatives and present needs to promote the rural health service development. The Traditional Chinese Medicine ( TCM) has a broad and solid mass base in rural areas and concentrating on the promotion of the TCM’s appropriate technologies constitutes an important way to strive for the rural health services development. Gangu and Jingning Counties of the Gansu province fully use the Health XI Project platform to promote the TCM’s appropriate technology application and explore the service model. With the achieved good experiment results, effective development of the TCM services is promoted.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the autobiographical memory characteristics of chronic pain patients and its correlators.Methods Autobiographical memory,pain and emotion of 106 chronic pain patients and 106healthy controls were assessed with the Autobiographical Memory Test (AMT), the Short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ), the Pain Self-efficacy Questionaire (PSEQ), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI).Results Compared to the control group, the clinical group had less specific memory (3.63 ± 1.53, 2.63 ± 1.68, F (1.416) = 7.233, P ＜ 0.01 ) and more overgeneral memory (2.37 ± 1.53,3.37 ±1.68, F (1.416) =7.069, P＜0.01 ),but the latency to response was not statistically significantly different between the groups.Duration of pain,frequence of pain and pain self-efficacy were the significant predictors of overgeneral memory,and the regression coefficients were significant (P＜0.05 ) ,the multiple regression equation was statistically significant( R = 0.427, R2 = 0.183, F= 2.385, P＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion The autobiographical memory of chronic pain patients was overgeneralized because of the influence of duration, frequence and self-efficacy of pain.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the autobiographical memory characteristics in depressed patients and their influence factors.@*METHODS@#Autobiographical memory, emotion and cognitive executive function of 60 depressed patients and 60 healthy controls were assessed with autobiographical memory test (AMT), Hamilton depression scale (HAMD), Beck depression inventory (BDI), Beck anxiety inventory (BAI), hospital anxiety and depression scale (HAD), arrow-task stroop test (ATST), Wisconsin card sorting test (WCST), Backward masking test (BMT) and continuous performance test (CPT).@*RESULTS@#The specific memory of the depressed group was significantly less than that of the control group, and was negatively related with the negative emotion score, the time of anterograde and retrograde reading of ATST, and the time difference of ATST. The overgeneral memory increased and the latency to response of ATST was significantly longer than that of the control group. The two factors were positively related with the negative emotion score, the time of anterograde and retrograde reading of ATST, and the time difference of ATST.@*CONCLUSION@#The autobiographical memory of the depressed patients is overgeneralized and retarded. These characteristics are related with negative emotion and impairment of cognitive executive function.
