ObjectiveTo assess the level of depression， anxiety and social support among grade three senior high school students under in-school quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic， so as to provide references for targeted psychological intervention of them. MethodsA total of 724 grade three senior high school students from three key schools in Binzhou City， Shandong Province were selected using random sampling method. Generalized Anxiety Disorder （GAD-7）， Patients' Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item （PHQ-9） and Perceived Social Support Scale （PSSS） were used to survey the psychological status including anxiety， depression and the level of social support. Partial correlation analysis was adopted to discuss the correlation of PSSS score with GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scores， meantime， the multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between PSSS and PHQ-9 scores. ResultsAmong grade three senior high school students， 341 （48.64%） and 383 （54.64%） were found to have symptoms of anxiety and depression， respectively. PSSS total score as well as the dimension score of family support and other support of female students were higher than those of male students， with statistical significance （t=-3.431， -3.048， -4.482， P<0.01）. GAD-7， PSSS total scores and the dimension scores of family support and other support demonstrated statistical differences among grade three senior high school students with different selections of academic subjects for college entrance examination （F=1.992， 2.660， 2.074， 3.138， P<0.05 or 0.01）. PHQ-9 score was negatively correlated with the total score and each dimension score of PSSS （r=-0.329， -0.283， -0.284， -0.284， P<0.01）. The dimension score of family support and friend support in PSSS could negatively predict the PHQ-9 score （B=-0.213， -0.308， P<0.01）. ConclusionGrade three senior high school students under in-school quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic suffer a high prevalence rate of anxiety and depression， while students with higher perceived social support scores report fewer symptoms of depression. Hence， improving the level of social support may alleviate depression in students.

Physical activity and physical fitness according to loneliness levels in adults 50+ / Caraterização da atividade física e aptidão física de acordo com os níveis de solidão em adultos 50+

Loneliness is a perception of dissatisfaction that seems to be the result of a lack of significant re-lationships, with multiple potential causal factors. The current body of research is not conclusive in relation to the link between loneliness and physical activity (PA) and physical fitness (PF) in adults and seniors. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to characterize PA and PF according to levels of loneliness (Social Isolation versus Affinities). The 62 Portuguese individuals (64.68 ± 6.85 years; 68% women) were assessed for loneliness (University of California Los Angeles 16-item Loneliness Scale - UCLA-16). and classified in Social Isolation or Affinities, i.e., presence of significant social rela-tionships. PA was estimated using a questionnaire (International PA Questionnaire - Short Version - IPAQ-SV ) and PF was evaluated using the Senior Fitness Test (upper and lower body strength, upper and lower body flexibility, cardiorespiratory fitness, agility and dynamic balance). Descriptive statistics were used. The comparison between groups was performed using parametric (t-test, AN-COVA adjusted to sex and chi-square) and non-parametric tests (Mann-Whitney). The prevalence of social isolation was 53%. The individuals of the Affinities group spent more minutes per day on moderate and vigorous physical activity (MVPA) than the individuals of the Social Isolation group (0.00 [0.00 ­ 12.86] versus 11.43 [0.00 ­ 17.14] minutes, respectively; p = 0.041). After adjusting for sex, the differences were no longer significant. Loneliness groups were not different in relation to PF. PA appears to contribute to a better mental profile in adults and seniors. The results should be confirmed through studies with larger samples

A solidão é uma percepção de insatisfação que parece resultar da carência de relacionamentos significativos, sendo múltiplos os seus potenciais fatores causais. A atual evidência não é robusta no que diz respeito à associação da solidão com a atividade física (AF) e aptidão física (ApF) em adultos 50+. O objetivo deste estudo transversal é caracterizar a AF e ApF de acordo com a solidão. Os 62 indivíduos portugueses (64,68 ± 6,85 anos; 68% mulheres) foram avaliados para solidão (Escala de Solidão de 16 itens da Universidade da Califórnia em Los Angeles - UCLA-16) e classificados como Isolamento Social ou Afinidades, i.e., presença de relações socias significativas. A AF foi estimada por questionário (Questionário Internacional de AF - Versão Curta - IPAQ-SV ) e a ApF medida pela bateria Senior Fitness Test (força de membros superiores e inferiores, flexibilidade de membros superiores e membros inferiores, aptidão cardiorrespiratória e agilidade e equilíbrio dinâmico. Foram utilizadas estatísticas descritivas. A comparação entre grupos foi realizada através de testes paramétricos (teste-t, ANCOVA ajustada ao sexo e qui-quadrado) e não paramétricos (Mann-Whitney). A prevalência de isolamento social foi de 53%. O grupo Afinidades apresentou mais AF moderada a vigorosa comparativamente ao grupo Isolamento Social (11,43 [0,00 ­ 17,14] vs (0,00 [0,00 ­ 12,86], respetivamente; p = 0,041). Após ajuste para o sexo, as diferenças deixaram de ser significativas. Os grupos de solidão não foram diferentes relativamente à ApF. A AF parece contribuir para um melhor perfil mental de adultos e idosos, contudo, os resultados devem ser confirmados em estudos com amostras maiores

Lessons from the Pandemic and Healthcare Service Delivery for the Senior Citizens

Background : The healthcare delivery system is an important indicator of the quality of life in a society. The advent of the Corona Virus pandemic led to an unfortunate and unforeseen disruption in the healthcare services Globally. The older persons were impacted on multiple counts including limitations in healthcare service availability, access and social marginalization. As we gain more insight into the full impact of the Pandemic on the health quality indicators and look to resume Medical service delivery in Postpandemic times, it’s important to ensure that the older population is not neglected. Discussions : Small transitions in the delivery models but larger modifications in the mind-set may be needed to provide continued, effective and seamless healthcare services to the older Indian population. Planned interventions at each level of the system can ensure a smooth transition into the modified systems. Integration of modern telecommunication technology into the medical practice and extensive research in the area can make telemedicine a more accessible and acceptable option to the elderly patients with chronic ailments. The full extent of the impact of the Pandemic on healthcare will be revealed in the coming times requiring constant adaptation of each element of the system to cope with it.

Exploration of clinicians′ practice competency evaluation based on medical record homepage data / 中华医院管理杂志

The professional title evaluation of health professionals needs to highlight the clinical performance and actual contribution, and make full use of the information system of medical and health institutions to collect relevant data as an important basis for such evaluation.Based on this, the project team innovatively developed a " clinical work data extraction system" , to extract and calculate the performance indexes of clinicians using data from homepages of medical records. Meanwhile, the team established a reference scale based on the data in the hospital quality monitoring system; developed a " health workers evaluation data platform" , visually presenting the comparison results between the clinical work performance evaluation data of a clinician, and the reference scale and the data of other applicants. In the 2021 annual evaluation of senior professional titles among some medical institutions directly under the National Health Commission and such provinces as Sichuan, Shandong and Chongqing, this method was used to extract homepage data of medical records of 7 833 applicants from 39 medical specialties in 1 416 medical institutions, and finally 6 093 people (77.79%) completed the calculation of clinical work evaluation index data. The initial application results showed that the evaluation of senior clinicians′ professional competence based on homepage data of the medical record was feasible in the senior professional title evaluation of various medical institutions at all levels equipped with the electronic medical record database system, and could effectively present the performance level and actual contribution of the applicant.

Sexual and reproductive health knowledge and practice among students in six senior high schools in three regions in East China / 上海预防医学

Objective:To know the status of knowledge， attitude and behavior related to sexual and reproductive health in high school students in three regions of East China， and to provide a reference for adolescent reproductive health education. Methods:From August to October in 2019， 614 high school students were invited from 6 high schools in Jiading District and Yangpu District， Shanghai and Taicang City， Jiangsu to participate in this study. We conducted an anonymous self-questionnaire survey using structured questionnaires based on adolescent reproductive health knowledge and literacy. Results:The male to female ratio of all high school students in the study was 1∶1.25， and the average age was （16.1±0.9） years old. The score of pregnancy and abortion knowledge was the lowest among the reproductive health knowledge scores， and the differences among the three regions were statistically significant （P=0.002）. Male high school students （P<0.001）， students in the school with reproductive health education base （P=0.008） and students who wanted to obtain reproductive health education （P=0.002） were more acceptable to premarital sex. The high school students obtained adolescent health knowledge mainly through the internet or mobile phones， and had a demand for reproductive health related services. Conclusion:High school students in the three regions have a more open attitude towards premarital sex， but have a poor grasp of correct and efficient contraceptive knowledge. Responsible departments need to strengthen the health education of relevant knowledge， and at the same time to find new forms of education to effectively improve the level of adolescent reproductive health.

Vulneración a la integridad física de personas mayores: prevalencia del maltrato y factores asociados / Violation of the Physical Integrity of the Elderly: Prevalence of Abuse and Related Factors

Resumen El envejecimiento poblacional que experimenta actualmente América Latina trae consigo retos para la sociedad, como la prevención de la vulneración a los derechos humanos y libertades de las personas mayores y la eliminación de todas las formas de maltrato. La prevalencia de maltrato físico a personas mayores fue de 4,1%. Se presentó principalmente en mujeres, personas sin pareja y con ingreso económico. Además, fue más prevalente en personas mayores con riesgo de depresión, ante cedentes de pensamientos suicidas, insatisfacción con la salud y que convivían con familias disfuncionales. Los hallazgos de esta investigación muestran como las re laciones familiares pueden ser un factor clave a la hora de abordar la problemática del maltrato; además, las graves repercusiones que generan estos hechos sobre la víctima, como afectaciones no solo a la salud física sino también mental.

Abstract The ageing population currently experienced by Latin America brings with it cha llenges for society, such as the prevention of human rights violation and freedoms of the elderly, and the elimination of all forms of abuse. The prevalence of physical abuse for the elderly was 4.1%. It was mainly presented in women, people without a partner, and with financial income. In addition, it was more prevalent in older people at risk of depression, a history of suicidal thoughts, dissatisfaction with health, and living with dysfunctional families. The findings of this research show how family re lationships can be a key factor in addressing the problem of abuse. In addition, the serious impact of these facts on the victim, such as affectations not only to physical health, but also to mental health.

Condición física saludable y su relación con habilidades básicas para la independencia del adulto mayor / Healthy physical condition and its relationship with basic skills for the independence of the senior citizen / Condição física saúdavel e sua relação com habilidades básicas para a independência do idoso

Introducción: se estudia la relación entre la condición física saludable y algunas habilidades básicas para la independencia de las personas mayores del municipio de La Plata, Argentina, desde el año 2015 al 2018. Hipótesis: Las personas adultas mayores que tienen mejor condición física tienen mayor independencia para las actividades de la vida diaria básicas. Métodos: se aplicó el test de Barthel para medir las habilidades para la vida diaria en adultos mayores. Se midió la fuerza máxima de prensión con dinamómetro, y se tomaron las pruebas "velocidad de la marcha" y "time up and go", para evaluar condición física. Se calculó correlación, coeficiente de determinación. Resultados: 91 adultos mayores, 25 hombres, 64 mujeres. Edad: 74,81±9,38, peso: 69,99±19,09, talla: 155±13,06. A medida que aumentó la edad, la fuerza máxima disminuyó significativamente (r-0,40 R2 0,16, p<0,05). La fuerza muscular es significativamente mayor en personas que son independientes que en aquellas que tienen algún grado de dependencia (dependientes Fmax 17,47 kg ± 6,58 P<0,05 con IC 95% 14,1-20, 85 vs independientes Fmax 23,76 kg ± 6,3 P<0,05 con IC 95% 22,27-25,25). Conclusiones: la fuerza máxima de prensión de la mano está relacionada con la independencia para las actividades de la vida diaria. El componente de fuerza muscular puede ser relevante en programas de salud y calidad de vida en esta población.

Introduction: The relationship between healthy physical condition and some basic skills for the independence of the senior citizen in the Municipality of La Plata, Argentina, from 2015 to 2018 is studied. Hypothesis: senior citizens who are in better physical condition have greater independence for basic activities of daily living. Methods: the Barthel test was applied to measure daily living skills on senior citizens. The maximum grip strength was measured with dynamometer, and the "walking speed" and "time up and go" tests were applied to assess physical condition. Correlation, coefficient of determination was calculated. Results: A total of 91 senior citizens, 25 men, 64 women with an average age of 74.81 ± 9.38, average weight 69.99 ± 19.09, and average height 155 ± 13.06 were evaluated. As age increased, the maximum strength decreased significantly (r-0.40, R2 0.16, p <0.05). Maximum strength is significantly greater in people who are independent than in those who have some degree of dependence (dependent Fmax 17,47kg ± 6,58 with IC 95% 14,1-20,85 vs independent 23,76 kg ± 6,3 P <0.05 with IC 95% 22.27-25.25). Conclusions: the maximum grip strength of the hand is related to the independence for activities of daily living. The component of muscular strength may be relevant in health and quality of life programs in this population.
