ABSTRACT
As the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues, hospitals in Wuhan have invested great efforts to combat the epidemic. The risk of nosocomial infection and cross infection should not be ignored, and the treatment of non-COVID-19 patients was challenged. According to the characteristics of COVID-19, our hospital has established a transitional ward, enforced the screening and exclusion procedures of COVID-19. We also scientifically formulated and smoothly operated various programs and procedures for the treatment of emergency and critical patients, so that non- COVID-19 patients can be treated in time, ensuring medical safety and nursing quality, also effectively avoiding the spread of COVID-19 in non-isolated areas of the hospital, which has played a very important role at the outbreak stage of the epidemic.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate how network education can improve college students' knowledge on sexual and reproductive health in Ningbo city.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From December 2012 to June 2013, we conducted a questionnaire investigation among college students in Ningbo city about the effects of network education on their knowledge about sexual psychology, sexual physiology, sexual ethics, and reproductive health.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A total of 7 362 college students accomplished the investigation, of whom 2 483 (42.1% males and 57.9% females) received network education, while the other 4 879 (24.1% males and 75.9% females) did not. Approximately 47.1% of the male and 28.0% of the female students acquired sexual and reproductive knowledge via network education. Reproductive health-related network education significantly enriched the students' knowledge about the reproductive system and sex, pubertal development, sexual physiology, conception and embryonic development, methods of contraception, sexual psychology, sexually transmitted diseases and their prevention, pregnancy care and eugenics, and environment- and occupation-related reproductive health (P < 0.01). It also remarkably improved their cognitive attitude towards reproductive health knowledge (P < 0.01). Those who received reproductive health-related network education showed a significantly higher rate of masturbation (P < 0.01) but markedly later time of the first masturbation (P < 0.01) than those who did not.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Network education can enhance the effect of reproductive health education among college students and improve their sexual experience and health.</p>
