RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the influencing factors of tuberculosis related health behaviors among college freshmen with health belief model, so as to provide a scientific basis for the intervention of health behaviors among students.Methods:From January to February 2021, the questionnaire survey was conducted among 5 254 college freshmen from 11 universities.The survey included general demographic data, tuberculosis related health behaviors, and tuberculosis related knowledge, disease threat perception and disease policy cognition.The SPSS 23.0 software was used for data analysis, independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA were used for inter group comparison, and Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of health behavior holding. Results:The total score of tuberculosis related health behaviors among freshmen was 3~12 (11.01±1.10), and the overall holding rate of tuberculosis related health behaviors was higher.Male( B=-0.753, OR(95% CI)=0.471(0.417-0.531)), and tuberculosis history ( B=-1.088, OR(95% CI)=0.337(0.157-0.722)) were risk factors for tuberculosis related health behaviors among freshmen.Birth in city( B=0.117, OR(95% CI)=1.124(0.944-1.338)), father's education level college /undergraduate and above ( B=0.177, OR(95% CI)=1.194(1.024-1.392)), mother's education level high school/secondary school( B=0.356, OR(95% CI)=1.428(1.126-1.810)), college/undergraduate and above( B=0.194, OR(95% CI)=1.214(1.029-1.433)), take the initiative to understand tuberculosis knowledge ( B=0.208, OR(95% CI)=1.231(1.095-1.385)), higher tuberculosis knowledge score ( B=0.088, OR(95% CI)=1.092(1.041-1.145)), higher disease threat perception score ( B=0.082, OR(95% CI)=1.086(1.031-1.144)) and higher disease policy cognition score( B=0.320, OR(95% CI)=1.378(1.265-1.500)) were protective factors for tuberculosis related health behaviors among first-year undergraduates(all P<0.05). Conclusion:The application of health belief model can analyze and explain the influencing factors of tuberculosis-related health behaviors of freshmen, which is helpful to strengthen health education and advocate tuberculosis-related health behaviors.
RESUMEN
Objective:To examine the effects of heart rate control during hospitalization on short-term prognosis of heart failure in elderly patients.Methods:As a prospective study, 150 elderly patients with heart failure were selected from the Department of Geriatrics, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University.The subjects were divided into an experimental group and a control group by digitally generated random numbers, with 75 individuals in each group.Both groups received conventional anti-heart failure therapy during hospitalization, but patients from the control group had doses of heart rate control drugs adjusted every 2-4 weeks, with no special requirement for the heart rate before hospital discharge.In contrast, patients from the experimental group were given heart rate control drugs with timely dose adjustment to achieve more proactive heart rate control, aiming for a rate <70 beat/min, as long as heart failure symptom improvement and good volume management could be maintained.Values of cardiac function indexes were compared between the two groups at discharge and 6 months after discharge.Heart failure readmission rates within 6 months, cardiovascular disease mortality rates and the incidences of composite endpoint events after readmission due to heart failure aggravation were compared between the two groups.Treatment safety was also evaluated.Results:There was no statistical difference in blood pressure, heart rate, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-pro-BNP), left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF), left ventricular end systolic diameter(LVESD), or left ventricular end diastolic diameter(LVEDD)between the two groups at admission( P>0.05), and there was no statistical difference in the average length of hospitalization between the two groups( P>0.05). The experimental group had a lower average heart rate and diastolic pressure than the control group at discharge and 6 months latter[at discharge: (61.6±4.2)beat/min(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs.(78.0±7.1)beat/min, (62.1±10.4)mmHg vs.(66.1±10.2)mmHg; at 6 months: (64.7±12.1)beat/min vs.(71.8±11.2)beat/min, (62.8±11.2)mmHg vs.(68.6±10.2)mmHg; P<0.05 or P<0.01]. NT-pro-BNP in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group at discharge[(1 706±1 408)ng/L vs.(2 806±3 812)ng/L, P<0.05]. The absolute values of changes in LVEF(ΔLVEF), LVESD(ΔLVESD)and LVEDD(ΔLVEDD)after 6 months in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group[ΔLVEF: (0.08±0.09) vs.(0.02±0.09), P<0.05; ΔLVESD: (-5.82±7.44)mm vs.(-1.63±6.07)mm, P<0.01; ΔLVEDD: (-2.76±5.52)mm vs.(-0.86±4.44)mm, P<0.05]. The rate of readmission and the incidence of composite endpoint events within 6 months in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group[21.3%(16 cases) vs.36.0%(27 cases), P<0.05]; 25.3%(19 cases) vs.44.0%(33 cases), P<0.05.There was no significant difference in all-cause mortality between the two groups( P>0.05). Conclusions:For elderly patients with heart failure, proactive active heart rate control during hospitalization and a rate <70 beat/min before discharge will improve cardiac function indexes and lower the rate of readmission with exacerbation of heart failure, cardiovascular disease mortality and the incidence of composite end-point events after readmission.This strategy has good safety and is beneficial for short-term prognosis.
