The Development of Chinese Herbal Formulae for Non-severe COVID-19 Based on Artificial Intelligence Technology and Investigation of Its Action Mechanisms / 中医杂志

ObjectiveTo develop traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） formulae for the treatment of nonsevere coronavirus disease 2019 （COVID-19） and to explore its anti-inflammatory mechanism. MethodsThe dysregulated signaling pathways were determined in macrophages from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of COVID-19 patients and in lung epithelial cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 in vitro based on transcriptome analysis. A total of 102 TCM formulae for the clinical treatment of nonsevere COVID-19 were collected through literature. The pathway-reversing rates of these formulae in macrophages and lung epithelial cells were evaluated based on signature signaling pathways， and the basic formula was determined in conjunction with TCM theory. The commonly used Chinese materia medica for nonsevere COVID-19 were summarized from the 102 TCM formulae as abovementioned. And together with the screening results from the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China， a “Chinese materia medica pool” was esta-blished for the development of TCM formulae for COVID-19. The regulatory effects of each herb on signaling pathways were obtained based on targeted transcriptome analysis. Oriented at reversing dysregulated signaling pathways of COVID-19， the calculation was carried out， and the artificial intelligent methods for compositing formulae， that are exhaustive method and parallel computing， were used to obtain candidate compound formulas. Finally， with reference to professional experience， an innovative formula for the treatment of nonsevere COVID-19 was developed. The ethanol extract of the formula was evaluated for its anti-inflammatory effects by detecting the mRNA expression of interleukin 1b （Il1b）， C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 2 （Cxcl2）， C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 （Cxcl10）， C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 （Ccl2）， nitric oxide synthase 2 （Nos2）， and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 （Ptgs2） using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction （RT-qPCR） in RAW264.7 cells treated with lipopolysaccharide （LPS）. ResultsIn macrophages and lung epithelial cells， 34 dysregulated signaling pathways associated with COVID-19 were identified respectively. The effects of the 102 formulae for clinical treatment of nonsevere COVID-19 were evaluated based on the dysregulated signaling pathways and targeted transcriptome， and the result showed that Yinqiao Powder and Pingwei Powder （银翘散合平胃散， YQPWP） ranked first， reversing 91.18% of the dysregulated signaling pathways in macrophages and 100% of the dysregulated signaling pathways in lung epithelial cells. Additionally， YQPWP had the function of scattering wind and clearing heat， resolving toxins and removing dampness in accordance with the pathogenesis of wind-heat with dampness in COVID-19. It was selected as the basic formula， and was further modified and optimized to develop an innovative fomula Qiaobang Zhupi Yin （翘蒡术皮饮， QBZPY） based on expert experience and artificial intelligence in composing formulae. QBZPY can reverse all the dysregulated signaling pathways associated with COVID-19 in macrophages and lung epithelial cells， with the reversing rates of 100%. The chief medicinal of QBZPY， including Lianqiao （Fructus Forsythiae）， Xixiancao （Herba Siegesbeckiae） and Niubangzi （Fructus Arctii）， can down-regulate multiple signaling pathways related with virus infection， immune response， and epithelial damage. RT-qPCR results indicated that compared with the model group， the QBZPY group down-regulated the mRNA expression of Il1b， tumor necrosis factor （Tnf）， Cxcl2， Cxcl10， Ccl2， Nos2 and Ptgs2 induced by LPS in RAW264.7 cells （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. ConclusionBased on targeted transcriptome analysis， expert experience in TCM and artificial intelligence， QBZPY has been developed for the treatment of nonsevere COVID-19. The ethanol extract of QBZPY has been found to inhibit mRNA expression of several pro-inflammatory genes in a cellular inflammation model.

Research on the Path of Integrating the Life View of "Human Life is Most Important" in Traditional Chinese Medicine into Medical Ethics Education for Medical Students / 中国医学伦理学

The life view of "human life is the most important" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) originates from the people-oriented theory of Chinese traditional culture, the benevolence thought of Confucianism, the rebirth thought of Taoism and the compassion thought of Buddhism. Taking the life view of "human life is the most important" as the starting point, it has formed medical ethics thoughts such as the social responsibility of saving the world, the medical practice purpose of treating all patients equally, the meticulous working attitude, the diligent and tireless learning attitude, and the exploration spirit of widely exploring the medical roots, which still has important educational significance. Therefore, the life view of "human life is the most important" should be integrated into the medical ethics education of medical students, and the medical ethics literacy of medical students should be improved through the following ways: strengthen the vocational ideal education of saving the dying and healing the wounded, and enhance the sense of social responsibility of medical students; consolidate the theme of life first classroom education and improve the professional identity of medical students; enrich and innovate the practice forms of protecting life, pay attention to the practicality of medical ethics education.

Practical Research on the Teaching of "Medical Interpersonal Communication" Integrate into the Red Doctor’s Spirit for Students Majoring in Public Health Management / 中国医学伦理学

The red doctor’s spirit is an important spiritual guidance for the cultivation of medical talents during the development of medical and health services in China. The teaching reform, which is oriented towards position competence, requires that students majoring in public health management should not only master solid medical knowledge and professional skills, but also possess an ability to handle medical public relations, such as shaping an excellent image of the organization, improving the medical interpersonal communication, and managing public relations crisis. Under the guidance of inheriting the red gene and innovating the medical education, the driving force of learning should be "serving the people to improve their health" led by "political firmness" , the learning goal "striving for perfection" inspired by "excellent technology" , and the working criterion "respecting patients, involving full participation and shouldering public responsibility" embodied in "making selfless dedication and helping the wounded and dying" . The article based on the characteristic culture of red medicine in the Air Force Medical University, applied the teaching method of role-playing case simulations to explore the teaching practice road of "theory-experience-practice-reflection" .

Experiência de adoecimento e estratégias de "tocar a vida" de pessoas com esquizofrenia acompanhadas na Atenção Primária: estudo qualitativo orientado pelo Recovery / Illness experience and strategies to "get on with life" of people with schizophrenia admitted to primary care: qualitative study oriented by the Recovery

Resumo A Reforma Psiquiátrica Brasileira produziu grandes transformações no cuidado em saúde mental, porém ainda é um desafio tornar as experiências pessoais o eixo central dos tratamentos. O movimento do Recovery, em que a remissão dos sintomas é descentralizada e a ênfase recai na busca de vida gratificante na comunidade, pode trazer ensinamentos. A pesquisa descreveu a experiência de adoecimento e estratégias para "tocar a vida" de pessoas com esquizofrenia no contexto da Atenção Primária à Saúde, conhecendo o que fazem para se ajudar na lida diária com os problemas gerados pelo transtorno mental. O cenário é uma Unidade Básica de Saúde no centro do Rio de Janeiro e a pesquisa, de inspiração etnográfica, realizou entrevistas narrativas com quatro pessoas com esquizofrenia com autonomia e acompanhadas exclusivamente na APS e dois familiares. Resultados sugerem que religiosidade, trabalho e renda foram relevantes para a recuperação dos entrevistados e o olhar da família reforçou o estigma. A análise exigiu superação de olhar esquemático sobre reabilitação psicossocial e o conceito de Recovery. A importância deste estudo é trazer para o centro da análise caminhos construídos pelos próprios sujeitos para a tocar a vida, além de debater o conceito de Recovery no cenário da APS.

Abstract The Brazilian Psychiatric Reform produced major transformations in mental health care, but it is still a challenge for personal experiences to become the central axis of treatments. The Recovery movement, in which the remission of symptoms is decentralized, and the emphasis of care is on the search for a fulfilling life in the community, can bring lessons. This research describes the illness experience and strategies to go on with the life of people with schizophrenia finding what they do to help themselves in their daily struggle. The study setting is a Basic Health Unit in the center of Rio de Janeiro. The research, which has ethnographic inspiration, conducted narrative interviews with people diagnosed with schizophrenia who preserved autonomy, followed exclusively in Primary Care and their relatives. The results suggest that religiosity, work, and income were relevant to the recovery of the interviewees and that family care reinforced the stigma of the disease. The analysis required overcoming the schematic view of psychosocial rehabilitation and the Recovery concept. The relevance of this study is to place paths that subjects built themselves to go on with life in the center of the analysis and to debate the concept of Recovery in Primary Care.

La influencia del consumo de pornografía en la construcción de la sexualidad masculina de jóvenes chilenos / The influence of pornography consumption on the construction of male sexuality in young chilean men

Este trabajo está orientado a conocerla influencia que ejerce la pornografía en la construcción de la sexualidad de hombres jóvenes consumidores de la ciudad de Temuco, Chile. De acuerdo con la literatura la pornografía es vista de forma mayoritaria por jóvenes varones que van desde los 12 años hasta su adultez. Esta situación influye en la socialización de los varones y en su concepción de la sexualidad que resulta ser problemática como consecuencia de este consumo. Para esto se realizó una investigación de carácter cualitativo en la cual se aplicaron diez entrevistas semiestructuradas a jóvenes consumidores de 21 a 26 años y a dos expertos (en educación y en sexualidad). Los resultados apuntan a la existencia una fuerte influencia de la pornografía en la sexualidad de los jóvenes. No limitada sólo a la sexualidad, sino que además a la concepción propia de la masculinidad y su rol en las relaciones afectivos-sexuales. Finalmente, los resultados evidencian que los jóvenes reflexionan sobre los elementos negativos que han debido afrontar dadas las sustanciales diferencias que tiene la ficción con la realidad en el consumo de pornografía AU

This work is oriented to know the influence that pornography exerts in the constructionof the sexuality of young male consumers in the city of Temuco, Chile. According to the literature, pornography is viewed mostly by young men ranging from 12 years to adulthood. This situation influences the socialization of men and their conception of sexuality, which turns out to be problematic as a consequence of this consumption. For this, a qualitative investigation was carried out in which ten semi-structured interviews were applied to young consumers between the ages of 21 and 26 and to two experts (in education and in sexuality). The results point to the existence of a strong influence of pornography on the sexuality of young people. Not limited only to sexuality, but also to the own conception of masculinity and its role in affective-sexual relationships. Finally, the results show that young people reflect on the negative elements that they have had to face given the substantial differences between fiction and reality in the consumption of pornography AU

Propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Autoeficacia para el rendimiento académico en estudiantes universitarios / Psychometric properties of the Self-Efficacy Scale for Academic Performance in university students

Resumen La Teoría Social Cognitiva reconoce a la autoeficacia en el marco de las creencias personales que permiten a las personas ejercer cierto control sobre su comportamiento, y es de particular relevancia en relación con la vida universitaria y el rendimiento académico. El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo estudiar las propiedades psicométricas de la versión abreviada de la Escala de Autoeficacia para el Rendimiento Académico en universitarios adaptada por Krumm y Lemos (2012). El estudio que se presenta fue de índole instrumental, con un diseño transversal, no experimental y se utilizó un muestreo no probabilístico incidental. Participaron 1044 estudiantes universitarios residentes todos en Formosa capital al momento del estudio. La edad media de los participantes fue de 26 años (DE = 7.125), de los cuales un 24.9 % de hombres (n = 260) y un 75.1 % de mujeres (n = 784). Según la técnica de ecuaciones estructurales, se efectuó el Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (AFC) sobre la versión original de la escala (Modelo 1), y se realizaron dos reespecificaciones que generaron dos modelos: el Modelo 2 definido como una escala unidimensional con 24 ítems y el Modelo 3 o versión breve, definido a partir de una escala unidimensional con nueve ítems. La solución final obtuvo índices de ajuste óptimos (RMSEA = .019; TL I = .999; CFI = .998 y GFI = .997) y confirma que la propuesta de una versión breve de la Escala de Autoeficacia para el Rendimiento Académico presenta adecuadas propiedades psicométricas y posibilita la evaluación de la autoeficacia académica en estudiantes universitarios de manera práctica, por lo que resulta particularmente útil en contextos de investigación.

Abstract The Social Cognitive Theory recognizes Self-efficacy within the framework of personal beliefs that allow people to exercise some control over their behavior, being of particular relevance in relation to university life and Academic Performance. University life poses not only cognitive challenges but also emotional and social challenges that involve the development and mobilization of personal resources to adapt to the demands of higher education. Self-efficacy linked to Academic Performance in this context can be a factor that favors learning in the case of perceived adequately capable, or it can be a factor that contributes to shelling or abandonment in the case of not being adequately experienced. Given its importance, the conceptualization of the concept of Self-efficacy has made possible the design of various scales that allow evaluating this construct, some oriented to the evaluation of General Self-efficacy and others to Self-efficacy in relation to specific aspects. However, given the complexity of the concept and the factors that influence its configuration, it is considered necessary to research and develop specific instruments related to the transit through university life with all the demands that it entails and that allow a deeper understanding of this particular training stage. The present work aimed to study the psychometric properties of the abbreviated version of the Self-efficacy Scale for Academic Performance in university students adapted by Krumm and Lemos (2012). The study presented was instrumental in nature, with a cross-sectional, non-experimental design, an incidental non-probabilistic sampling was used. 1044 university students, all residing in Formosa Capital at the time of the study, participated. The mean age of the participants was 26 years (SD = 7.125), being 24.9% men (n = 260) and 75.1 % women (n = 784). The original Scale consisted of 24 items and three subscales: (1) coping with negative physical and emotional states; (2) social relationships; and (3) coping with positive emotions. The following reliability indices were reported for each subscale: Cronbach's Alpha of .59, .69 and .55 respectively. Considering the technique of structural equations, the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was carried out on the original version of the Scale (Model 1), carrying out two re-specifications, which generated two models, Model 2 defined as a one-dimensional Scale with 24 items and Model 3 or short version, defined from a one-dimensional scale with 9 items. The results obtained show that the three dimensions proposed in the original scale did not emerge as such, since the items that made it up presented differences in grouping by factor. The final solution or short version obtained optimal fit indices (RMSEA = .019; TL I = .999; CFI = .998 and GFI = .997). Regarding reliability, the Omega coefficient showed a high internal consistency of the scale both for the original test and for the abbreviated version, indicating that, despite having reduced the number of items on the scale, it retains adequate reliability. From the results obtained, it is confirmed that the proposal of a short version of the Self-efficacy Scale for Academic Performance presents adequate psychometric properties and enables the evaluation of academic self-efficacy in university students in a practical way, which is why it is particularly useful in research contexts.

Conocimientos y actitudes sobre alimentación veg(etari)ana entre profesionales de la nutrición de Argentina / Nowledge and attitudes about veg(etari)an diets among nutrition professionals in Argentina

Resumen Introducción: a nivel global, se ha ido incrementando progresivamente la cantidad de personas que adhieren a distintas variantes de dietas vegetarianas. Ello supone, entre otros desafíos, contar con profesionales de la salud y de la nutrición que puedan responder a las necesidades y demandas particulares de estos grupos. Objetivo: indagar conocimientos y actitudes de licenciadas y licenciados en Nutrición de Argentina sobre alimentación ovo-lacto-vegetariana y vegana. Materiales y método: para este estudio observacional, exploratorio y transversal, se diseñó un cuestionario orientado a evaluar conocimientos y actitudes sobre alimentación veg(etari)ana. El muestreo fue no probabilístico, de tipo intencional, convocándose a profesionales de la nutrición residentes en Argentina. Para el análisis de datos se utilizó el programa estadístico SPSS 29.0.0.0. Resultados: la muestra constó de 318 profesionales. Los mayores niveles de información acerca de temas clave de la alimentación y nutrición veg(etari)ana, así como las actitudes orientadas al interés por el impacto de la dieta en el medioambiente y/o en el bienestar animal, se asociaron significativamente con la pertenencia al intervalo de menor edad, menor cantidad de años transcurridos desde el egreso de la carrera de grado y la adherencia propia a dietas ovo-lacto-vegetarianas y veganas. La gran mayoría de los y las profesionales manifestó aceptación y comprensión hacia las elecciones de los/as pacientes veg(etari)anos/as. Conclusiones: los conocimientos y actitudes observados estarían más relacionados con circunstancias generacionales y elecciones personales que con la formación académica. Resulta necesario incluir sistemáticamente en las carreras de grado contenidos de alimentación y nutrición veg(etari)ana con un abordaje integral, contemplando aspectos nutricionales, ambientales y socioculturales.

Abstract Introduction: globally, the number of people who adhere to different variants of vegetarian diets has been progressively increasing. This involves, among other challenges, having health and nutrition professionals who can respond to the particular needs and demands of these groups. Objective: to search knowledge and attitudes of graduates in Nutrition of Argentina on ovo-lacto-vegetarian and vegan diets. Materials and method: for this observational, exploratory and cross-sectional study, a questionnaire was designed to assess knowledge and attitudes about veg(etari)an diets. The sampling was non-probabilistic, intentional, summoning nutrition professionals residing in Argentina. The statistical program SPSS 29.0.0.0 was used for data analysis. Results: the sample consisted of 318 professionals. Higher levels of information about key issues of veg(etari)an food and nutrition, as well as attitudes oriented to interest in the impact of diet on the environment and / or animal welfare, were significantly associated with belonging to the youngest age range, fewer years elapsed since graduation from the undergraduate career and adherence to ovo-lacto-vegetarian and vegan diets. The vast majority of professionals expressed acceptance and understanding towards the choices of vegan patients. Conclusions: the knowledge and attitudes observed would be more related to generational circumstances and personal choices than to academic training. It is necessary to systematically include in the undergraduate courses contents of veg(etari)an food and nutrition with a comprehensive approach, contemplating nutritional, environmental and sociocultural aspects.

ACADEMIC PROCRASTINATION AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS: A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE FOR CONSIDERATION

In our daily lives, we have to perform multiple tasks in different areas. This leads people to two paths: carrying out the task as soon as possible or postponing it; the latter being part of the tendency to delay the start or completion of a task. This act also known as procrastination. procrastination is the characteristic or behavioural propensity to put off or delay completing a task or making decisions. Procrastination behavior is very common and a serious problem in the era we live in. Academic procrastination appears to be common in academic environments as students frequently put off their obligations without good reason and submit their work right up until the deadline. All levels of kids are impacted, and it may lead to major problems including declining grades and decreased wellbeing. The notion of academic procrastination, reasons why it occurs, negative effects of academic procrastination and several methods for dealing with it are all discussed in this article. It is suggested that some programs should be devised and executed to teach task-oriented coping strategies to students. For this one should reflect on the reasons why you procrastinate, your habits and thoughts that lead to procrastinating

Un punto de partida: opiniones de adultos sobre proyectos de vida para la vejez / A starting point: opinions of adults on life projects for old age

Contexto: El envejecimiento de la población plantea varias cuestiones fundamentales. ¿Cómo podemos ayudar a las personas a que sigan siendo independientes y activas a medida que envejecen? El Proyecto de Vida es un concepto que ha estado vinculado a la necesidad del ser humano de buscar su bienestar. Puede pensarse que, si una persona cuenta con un proyecto de vida preconcebido, al llegar a la vejez su tiempo estará orientado a continuar con metas previamente visualizadas. Objetivo: Conocer la opinión de los adultos sobre su proyecto de vida para la vejez en un área urbana de Tucumán. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio cualitativo desde un abordaje fenomenológico. Los sujetos estudiados fueron adultos entre 45-59 años, de ambos sexos. Se constituyeron dos grupos focales. Resultados: se obtuvieron las siguientes categorías descriptivas: "Un callejón ¿con salida?", "Descartados y desechos", "Encaminarnos a la vejez", "Revolución de la longevidad", "Un poco de esto, un poco de aquello". Conclusión: Este estudio evidenció las opiniones que tiene un grupo de adultos de Tucumán sobre proyectos de vida para la vejez, identificándose cómo el fenómeno de ageísmo influye en su proyección a futuro. Se vio la importancia de repensar la vejez sin la estigmatización o discriminación social, considerando acompañar activamente a la población en edad prejubilatoria (AU)

Context: The aging of the population raises several fundamental questions. How can we help people to remain independent and active as they age? The Life Project is a concept that has been linked to the need of human beings to seek their well-being. It may be thought that if a person has a preconceived life project, when they reach old age their time will be oriented to continue with previously visualized goals. Objective: To know the opinion of adults about their life project for old age in an urban area of Tucumán. Methodology: A qualitative study was carried out from a phenomenological approach. The subjects studied were adults between 45-59 years old, of both sexes. Two focus groups were formed. Results: the following descriptive categories were obtained: "An alley with an exit?", "Discarded and discarded", "Towards old age", "Longevity revolution", "A little of this, a little of that". Conclusion: This study evidenced the opinions that a group of adults from Tucumán have about life projects for old age, identifying how the phenomenon of ageism influences their future projection. The importance of rethinking old age without stigmatization or social discrimination was seen, considering actively accompanying the pre-retirement age population (AU)

HR Must Study Personal Economics - A Behavioral Economics Approach

Organizations in both the public and private sectors are increasingly using behavioural economics techniques to address a range of problems, including mechanism design and incentive architecture. Yet, there hasn't been much attention paid to how behavioural economics' experimental techniques might assist businesses in learning more about their (current or potential) workforce, and particularly about the preferences and tendencies of their employees. This has significant ramifications for overall organisational performance because certain designs or incentives may only influence people who share a certain disposition (such as those who are risk-averse or fairness-oriented), but not others, or they may even have the opposite effect on people who have different sets of preferences. In this post, we highlight a variety of intriguing directions for using a behavioural economics lens to comprehend and control employees. Also, a thorough case study is given.

Time Perspective and Decision-Making: A Study on Decisional Patterns in Argentinian Adults / Perspectiva temporal y toma de decisión: un estudio sobre patrones decisionales en adultos argentinos / Perspectiva temporal e tomada de decisão: um estudo sobre padrões decisórios em adultos argentinos

The first aim of this study was to adapt the mdmq to Argentinian Spanish and to collect evidence of its va-lidity and reliability; the second was to determine if time perspectives were adequate predictors of decision-making styles. A first sample of 536 participants served in the validation process; a second sample of 209 individuals who completed the mdmq and the Brief Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ztpi) was used to conduct descriptive-correlational and regression analyses. Confirmatory factor analysis corroborated a fourfactor model with adequate internal consistency for each subscale. Regression analyses showed that future time perspective positively predicted the display of higher vigilant coping patterns ­adaptive and ratio-nal decision-making style­. Meanwhile, less future- time-oriented people were more likely to engage in defensive avoidance mechanisms to reach a decision. Past-negative and present-fatalistic time perspectives were positive predictors of non-vigilant decision-making style. It indicates that individuals with an aversive vision over their past experiences and present situation are more likely to engage in emotionally based and avoidant decision-making patterns. These findings support the reliability and construct-related validity of the mdmq for assessing decision-making styles among Argentinian individuals and set a step for con-ducting more in-depth research in the field of decision-making and time perspective.

El primer objetivo de este estudio fue adaptar el mdmq al español argentino y recolectar evidencia de su validez y confiabilidad; el segundo fue determinar si las perspectivas temporales eran predictores adecuados de los estilos de toma de decisiones. Una primera muestra de 536 participantes sirvió para el proceso de validación y una segunda muestra de 209 individuos completó el mdmq y el Brief Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ztpi), para un análisis descriptivo-correlacional y de regresión. El análisis factorial confirmatorio corroboró un modelo de cuatro factores con adecuada consistencia interna para cada subescala. Los análisis de regresión mostraron que la perspectiva del tiempo futuro predijo positivamente la aparición de patrones de afrontamiento más vigilantes ­estilo de toma de decisiones adaptativo y racional­, mientras que las personas que estaban menos orientadas al tiempo futuro tenían más probabilidades de involucrarse en mecanismos de evitación defensiva para tomar una decisión. Las perspectivas temporales negativas del pasado y fatalistas del presente fueron predictores positivos del estilo de toma de decisiones no vigilante, lo que indicaría que las personas con una visión aversiva sobre sus experiencias pasadas y la situación presente, son más propensas a involucrarse en tipos de toma de decisiones basadas en emociones y evasivas. Estos hallazgos respaldan la confiabilidad y la validez relacionada con el constructo del mdmq para evaluar los estilos de toma de decisiones entre los argentinos y marcan un paso para realizar investigaciones más profundas en el campo de la toma de decisiones y la perspectiva temporal.

Results:A total of 32 673 valid questionnaires were collected. There were 12 135 doctors (37.14%) in China who had received comprehensive education and training of core competency in all dimensions. Among the dimensions of self-rated core competency of the surveyed doctors, there were 10 019 doctors (30.66%) with insufficient teaching ability and 438 (1.34%) with insufficient professional quality, and there was no significant difference between regions ( P>0.05). There were 2 385 (27.08%), 2 528 (27.55%) and 3 646 (24.82%) doctors in high-, middle- and low-income regions with insufficient lifelong learning ability, respectively. The proportion of doctors in middle- and high-income regions was higher than that in low-income ones ( P<0.05). There were 1 317 (15.57%), 1 290 (14.06%) and 2 719 (18.51%) doctors with insufficient knowledge and skills in high-, middle- and low-income areas, respectively. The proportion of doctors in low-income regions was higher than that in middle- and high-income regions ( P<0.05). The proportion of doctors who did not receive any kind of postgraduate medical education or continuing medical education in low-income regions was 7.33% (1 077 people), higher than that in high-income and middle- income ones ( P<0.05); 50.44% (4 442 people) of surveyed doctors in high-income regions believed that for standardized training of resident physicians (hereinafter referred to as residential training), the clinical teachers were " overworked to take this job", which was higher than that in middle- and low-income regions ( P<0.001); In middle-income regions, 46.16% (4 235 people) and 43.46% (3 987 people) believed that the salary residents and specialized physicians in standardized training (hereinafter referred to as specialized training) was too low, while 42.47% (3 897 people) and 30.44% (2 793 people) believed that the clinical practice opportunities of students were limited, both of which were higher than those in high-income and low-income regions ( P<0.001); 34.91% (5 128 people) of surveyed doctors in low-income regions believed that the investment was insufficient for training bases of residential training, 27.81% (4 085 people) of those held that training bases for specialized training were unevenly distributed, and 33.19% (4 876 people) of those held that continuing medical education was plagued by " insufficient promotion coverage, and insufficient opportunities for primary doctors", all of which being higher than those in high- and middle-income regions ( P<0.001).
