Associations between sleep duration and negative emotions among junior college students / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#To explore the associations between sleep duration and negative emotions among junior college students,and to provide reference for mental health promotion among college students.@*Methods@#Cluster sampling method were used to select 2 524 freshmen from a college in Huainan, Anhui Province. Questionnaires were used to investigate general demographic characteristics, sleep timing, negative emotions and other information. The restricted cubic spline and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the relationship between sleep duration and negative emotion among junior college students.@*Results@#The prevalence of depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, stress associated symptoms were 19.41%(490), 28.2%(713), 9.9%(250) respectively．The prevalence of negative emotions was higher among boys(24.3%,34.0%,19.1%) than girls(18.7%,27.4%,8.5%). The differences between groups were statistically significant( P <0.01). After adjusting for confounding factors, sleep duration and negative emotions showed a non linear dose response relationship. Compared with the reference group(8-<9 h), sleep duration <7 h was significantly associated with an increased risk of depressive symptoms and stress symptoms, and <8 h was associated with an increased risk of anxiety symptoms. The additional sleep time on weekends ≥5 h was associated with negative emotions compared with the reference group(<1 h)( P <0.01).@*Conclusion@#Short sleep duration and extra weekend sleep are associated with negative emotions. Reasonable sleep schedule among junior college students might be helpful for the prevention and control of negative emotions.

Correlation of polymorphism of glial high-affinity glutamate transporter (SLC1A3) gene and non-suicidal self-injury in adolescents / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective To explore the correlation between polymorphisms (SNPs) of locus rs2269272 of glial high-affinity glutamate transporter (SLC1A3) gene and suicide attempt among Chinese adolescents.Methods iMLDRTM genotyping technology was used to detect the polymorphism of rs2269272 SLC1A3 gene loci in 55 suicide attempters and 112 healthy controls,and survival analysis was applied to analyze the relationship between allele (T) and the age of suicide attempt.Results The differences of rs2269272 locus allele distribution between two groups were statistically significant(x2=4.208,P=0.040),but genotype distribution of two groups had no significantly differences(x2 =4.011,P=0.135).Non-suicidal self-injury adolescents with locus rs2269272 (15.6 ± 0.4) were younger than adolescents without locus rs2269272(16.4±0.7),but the difference was not statistically significant.Conclusion Preliminary findings suggest that rs2269272 SLC1 A3 may be relevant to non-suicidal self-injury acts,and rs2269272 locus allele is not related to earlier suicide attempt.

Correlation Analysis on Nurse’ s Organizational Commitment and Their Professional Identity / 中国医学伦理学

Objective:To explore the correlation of nurses ’ organizational commitment and their professional identity status.Methods:Using Chinese employee organizational commitment scale and nurses professional identity evaluation scale questionnaire survey was conducted in 400 cases of clinical nurses , nurse compare different characteristics of organi-zational commitment and professional identity level , and USES the Pearson correlation analysis to investigate the correla-tion of both.ResultsNurses organizational commitment and professional identity total score , respectively (2.16-0.45) and (3.49 +0.84);Different cultural degree , job title, working years and the way of hiring nurses ’ professional identi-ty score comparison, the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05);Different ways of title, working years, and hire nurses’ organizational commitment score comparison , the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05);Pear-son correlation analysis showed that organizational commitment and the scores of each dimension career cognitive apprais -al, professional social skills , professional setback coping , social support and total scores of professional identity were sig -nificantly positive correlation (P <0.05).Conclusions:The nurse was significantly positively related to organizational commitment and their professional identity , and both have big room to improve .
