ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the disaster vulnerability of hospitals in Macao Special Administrative Region to assess the disaster risk objectively, so as to provide reference for Macao hospitals to formulate their emergency plans and improve their emergency response and handling capacity.Methods:From December 2021 to February 2022, 118 medical staff were selected for a questionnaire survey using the method of departmental stratified random sampling from three general hospitals in Macao. At the same time, 7 full-time medical staff and 2 experts in the field of health care were selected for expert consultation. The main content of the questionnaire was the hospital disaster risk assessment based on the Kaiser model, and three-round expert consultation method was used to determine the model indicators. The risk value of each indicator was calculated to analyze the hospital disaster vulnerability.Results:107 valid questionnaires were collected. The top five events in the hospital disaster risk value were typhoon(52.42%), large-scale public health events/epidemic outbreaks(47.55%), strong thunderstorm convective weather(38.68%), extreme temperature(37.31%) and information system failure(33.75%). As ranked by the total risk value, the categories of hospital disasters were natural disasters(35.69%), information security(29.49%), medical technology accidents(29.36%), equipment technology accidents(26.25%), dangerous goods injuries(25.13%) and personnel injuries(19.98%).Conclusions:Macao hospitals are exposed to the highest total risk value in natural disasters, followed by information security. In addition, the risk value of large-scale public health events and epidemic outbreaks of personal injury is also so high as to deserve attention. Macao hospitals should formulate effective emergency response plans according to the risk values of various disasters and the actual situation of each medical department, so as to minimize the losses caused by disasters to both hospitals and patients.
ABSTRACT
At present,most of the physiological teachers of medical university in our country have graduated from medical universities,and have never been trained by special teachers.Because of the influence of medical education training mode and cultural environment factors,teachers' teaching ability and teaching level are different.This paper proposed the full range of skills training for teachers through microteaching.To enhance the in-service teachers' teaching ability and professional level of development,the design procedures of the microteaching training should include the establishment of tutor teaching system,training teachers preparing lessons,after-school peer experts review,self-evaluation and improvement of the video after watching video and questionnaire evaluation,etc.

ABSTRACT
Shortage of pediatricians in China and its causes are analyzed,which is contributed to more causes than one.Namely,the cancellation of the pediatrics specialist education from medical schools by the Ministry of Education since 1 998,cancellation of pediatrics as a discipline by hospitals for its poor rate of return,high career risks for the pediatricians,and career promotion difficulties as well.The author suggested such solutions as resuming pediatrics as an independent department in medical schools,better pay,less academic demands on their publication of research papers as a rigid criterion for promotion, attraction of social investment,strengthening multi-site license practice to push up supply of high quality pediatricians,and raising social prestige of pediatricians.All the measures will help fill the gap of supply and demand of pediatricians by joint efforts by both the government and hospitals.
ABSTRACT
Thanks to such perspectives as technology continued acceptance and cross-organizational knowledge sharing,and review of existing literature and practice,the authors found the existing literature,both domestic and overseas,with the following shortcomings.In theory,there is little study on the telemedicine continued-acceptance behavior and cross-organizational knowledge sharing model; in methodology,there is little empirical study to build the telemedicine continued acceptance behavior model; in practice,there is little study on the telemedicine service management model in China's medical context.Based on such findings,the authors hold that subsequent studies may proceed individually and organizationally to study the continued acceptance model of telemedicine service users and cross-organizational coordination model of medical institutions.It also proposed countermeasures to optimize China's telemedicine sector.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the status, characteristics and factors in relation to occupational stress for medical staffs in tertiary general hospitals. Methods A total of 2460 medical staff were sampled in five tertiary general hospitals in Beijing, with their occupational stress levels evaluated with the Occupational Stress Inventory. Results The top ten stressors as found ranked as heavy duty, high risk exposure, high workload, low wages, setbacks in the health care management system, insufficient staffing, excessively frequent inspections and examinations, strained doctor-patient relationship, price inflation, frequent overtime, and pressure from continuous learning. Occupational stress is seen as moderate and above by 95.2% of the surveyed. Differences in age, gender, marital status, professional title, education, work experience, as well as those of different organizations, departments, professions, and duty were found to be statistically significant in regard of professional stress. Conclusions Stress management should be in place targeting demographic and stress characteristics. Effective measures are recommended to alleviate the pressure on medical staff, in order to maintain their physical and mental health, hence improving their work efficiency and organizational cohesion.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between mine environment and hypertension in miners. Methods 1736 male miners who worked under the ground and 825 on the ground were recruited in this study. Prevalence of hypertension under the ground and on the ground miners was compared. Results Prevalence of hypertension of miners under the ground was 23.91% and on the ground was 15.52% (χ2 = 23.56,P <0.001 ). Compared to miners on the ground, the relative risk of hypertension under the ground workers was 1.71 (95% CI 1.38 - 2.13 ). Prevalence of hypertension was correlated to the years of ground working (χ2 = 37.00, P < 0.001 ). The binary logistic regression showed significant relationship between mine environment and hypertension under the ground miners ( OR = 1.05,95% CI 1.02 - 1.08 ).Conclusion The underground environment is an important risk factor hypertension to the miners.
