ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the effect of family doctor team service in the medical association model on empowerment behavior and health status of elderly patients with diabetes in the community.@*Methods@#A total of 158 patients with diabetes who were diagnosed with free physical examination and were diagnosed as diabetic patients in 4 communities under the jurisdiction of Fuzhong Community Health Service Center From March 2018 to May 2018, we conveniently divided into intervention group (79 cases) and the control group (79 cases), according to whether or not to sign a family doctor. The control group was older people who did not sign up for a family doctor, the control group was given routine intervention according to the community chronic disease follow-up mode, while the intervention group gave the contracted family doctor on the basis of routine intervention, and carried out individual assessment, group management, group intervention, one-on-one guidance, and the body mass index, abdominal circumference, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, self-management ability of the two groups were evaluated before intervention and 6 months after intervenation.@*Results@#There was no significant difference between the two groups before intervention (P >0.05). After 6 months of intervention,abdominal circumference, fasting blood glucose and HbA1c was (79.5±5.0) cm, (6.1±0.7) mmol/L, (6.3±0.6)% in the intervention group, (85.2±11.4) cm, (6.5±0.8) mmol/L, (6.8±0.7)% in the control group, and there was significant difference between the two groups (t=2.142, 3.345, 4.820, P<0.05 or 0.01); the self-empowerment ability and the self-management was (37.7±1.7), (44.3±6.8) in the intervention group, (30.1±2.5), (36.5±2.8) in the control group, and there was significant difference between the two groups (t=22.344, 9.427, P<0.01) .@*Conclusion@#The family doctor team service under the model of medical association can improve empowerment behavior of elderly diabetic patients in the community and improve their health status.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To build a comprehensive evaluation system for printable and online materials, and provide reference for the compilation and selection of patient education materials.@*Methods@#Taking Suitability Assessment of Materials (SAM) as frame and combined Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT) and CDC Clear Communication Index, we screened indicator of the evaluation system preliminary and all of them have been adjusted with the language habits and social and cultural characteristics of our country. By Delphi method, 15 experts in related fields were selected to conduct 2 rounds of expert consultation to establish the final indicator system. The weights of the different indicators were also analyzed by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP).@*Results@#The indicator system of printable and online patient education materials was consisted of 7 first-level indicators,28 second-level indicators,84 third-level indicators. The positive coefficients and the authority coefficients of the experts were 100% and 0.87 of the two rounds. The coordination factors of the experts in second-level and third-level were respectively 0.362 and 0.255 for the second round. The top three indicators of the first-level indicators were content (0.271 5), behavioral suggestion (0.190 4), and language expression (0.190 4); the highest-level index weight was scientific content (0.095 7), and the lowest was the use of commonly numbers, correct interpretation of numbers and units′ meaning (0.007 0).@*Conclusion@#The comprehensive evaluation system for printable and online materials is scientific, comprehensive and easy to operate.

ABSTRACT
Objective@#To revised the Taiwan version successful aging inventory (SAI), and verify its reliability and validity in urban elderly in mainland China.@*Methods@#SAI was adjusted by culture and revised by pre-test to form a formal questionnaire. A sample of 600 elderly people in Guangzhou was chosen for a face-to-face questionnaire survey through convenient sampling. Half of the sample (n=300) was randomly selected for exploratory factor analysis, and the other was used to confirm the structural validity of SAI.@*Results@#Exploratory factor analysis extracted six common factors, including health autonomy, economic security, life adaptation, society and relative relationship, study and family. The cumulative contribution rate of six common factors was 65.366%. The fitting indexes of confirmatory factor analysis were χ2/df=1.861, CFI=0.930, IFI=0.930, TLI=0.923, GFI=0.823, RMSEA=0.054, RMR=0.073. There were significant ceiling effects in the four dimensions of health autonomy, economic security, life adaptation, and family. The internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach's α) of SAI was 0.930, and the test-retest reliability was 0.943. An average score of SAI ≥ 3.95 points was considered successful aging.@*Conclusion@#Reliability and validity of SAI are good, which can be used to measure the successful aging status of Chinese elders and track the effectiveness of health promotion measures.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of multidimen-sional existential meaning scale (MEMS-C) in college students. Methods The MEMS was translated into Chinese. A total of 453 college students was tested by convenience sampling method via online survery. Eighteen college students were surveyed by MEMS-C before and after a two-week interval in order to analyze the retest reliability of the scale. Results The fitting indexes of the confirmatory factor analysis were χ2=450. 510,df=74,P<0. 01,χ2/df=6. 088,GFI=0. 859,CFI=0. 930,RMSEA=0. 106,RMR=0. 074,SRMR=0. 0494. The correlation validity coefficient of the scale was 0. 617 (P<0. 01). Internal consistency relia-bility coefficient of the total scale,comprehension,purpose,and mattering factors were 0. 935,0. 893,0. 936, 0. 733. The retest reliability was 0. 908 (P<0. 01). Conclusion The MEMS-C has good reliability and va-lidity. It is suitable to measure the sense of life of college students.
