ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the relationship between parents’ unstable marital status and offspring’s suicide attempts and the possible mediating factors, and to provide reference for suicide prevention among off spring grom unst able families.@*Methods@#From 2017 to 2018, 2 766 valid questionnaires were collected from freshmen in a university in Hunan province. Students completed questionnaires of childhood trauma and depression traits,and reported their parents’ marital status and suicide attempts etc.@*Results@#Compared to college students with parents of stable marital status,students with parents of unstable marital status showed higher reported rate of suicide attempts and higher scores of depression trait and childhood trauma (t/χ2=2.78, 5.83, 20.30, P<0.05). Controlling possible confounding factors,unconditional Logistic regression showed that childhood trauma,unstable marital status of parents and depressive traits were positively correlated with suicide attempt(OR=1.05, 1.45, 1.08, P<0.05). The 95% confidence interval of the Bootstrapping method with four mediation pathways (parental marital status→childhood trauma→depressive trait,childhood trauma→depressive trait→suicide attempt,parental marital status→childhood trauma→suicide attempt and parental marital status→childhood trauma→depressive trait→suicide attempt) does not include zero.@*Conclusion@#Childhood trauma and depressive traits mediate the relationship between parental instable marriage and suicide attempts in off spring.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the moderated and mediating mechanism between childhood trauma and depressive traits, and to provide a reference for conducting the related research and intervention.@*Methods@#From 2017 to 2018, a cluster sampling method was adopted to select 2 786 freshman. Childhood trauma questionnaire, state-trait depression Scale, the automatic thought questionnaire and trait coping style questionnaire was administered.@*Results@#Regression analysis showed that childhood trauma, automatic thinking and negative coping was positively associated with depressive traits, and positive coping was negatively associated with depressive traits (β=0.12, 0.40, 0.14, -0.33, P<0.05). The mediation analysis showed that automatic thinking mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and depressive traits (95%CI=0.03-0.06). The results of moderation effect showed that negative coping moderated the relationship between childhood trauma and automatic thinking and the relationship between childhood trauma and depressive traits, respectively (P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#Childhood trauma affects depressive traits,and its relationship is influenced by boping styles and automatic thinking.
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence and risk factors for syphilis infection among female sex workers (FSWs) in Liuzhou City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, southern China. A cross-sectional study recruited FSWs using a venue-based method and subsequent snowball sampling with mapping strategies. Questionnaire-based interviews were conducted to collect demographic and behavioral information. Blood was tested for syphilis (RPR with TPPA confirmation) and HIV (EIA with Western blot confirmation) infections. Of the 362 eligible participants, 81.7% were non-local residents (60.5% from other parts of Guangxi and 21.2% were non-Guangxi residents); 58.0% belonged to non-Han minority ethnic groups; 37.5% reported inconsistent condom use with their clients and 71.2% reported inconsistent condom use with their regular sex partners during the past month. Nearly 10% reported having had sex with drug users. The prevalence rates for HIV and syphilis infections were 2.3% and 11.0%, respectively. Almost half (46.6%) of participants reported having had STD symptoms. Inconsistent condom use with clients in the past month (AOR = 5.0; 95% CI = 1.8-13.8), less education (OR = 2.6; 95% CI = 1.1-7.4), and HIV infection (AOR = 8.1; 95% CI = 1.1-68.5) were independently associated with syphilis infection.
