ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the adaptability of freshmen in medical universities to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and to understand the relevant factors affecting their adaptation in medical university. METHODS: Freshmen in a medical university in Guangdong Province were selected and surveyed using a self-administered general questionnaire and a college student adjustment scale prepared by Fang Xiaoyi et al. The results were analyzed statistically. RESULTS: A total of 741 questionnaires were collected and 736 valid questionnaires were recovered. The adaptation level of freshmen in the medical university was moderately high. There were no differences in gender, age, family geographical location, or higher education level, but there were significant differences in major, type of household, only children (yes/no), and voluntary enrollment in medicine (yes/no). The survey showed that 30.3% of the students had discomfort at the beginning of the semester, 92.5% chose medical university voluntarily, and 83.4% expressed their enhanced motivation to study medicine after the COVID-19 outbreak, but 65.1% exhibited influence in study and life caused by COVID-19, which were statistically significant factors affecting the adaptation score. CONCLUSIONS: Freshmen in the medical university are generally well-adjusted with many influencing factors. Medical schools should strengthen adaptability management in order to timely identify the adaptation challenges of the students.
ABSTRACT
In the initial phase 3 clinical trial of the new coronavirus pneumonia (coronavirus disease 2019, COVID-19) vaccine, pregnant and lactating women were not included, resulting in the current effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination in pregnant and lactating women Data on sex and safety are extremely limited. Since the end of 2020, relevant domestic and foreign government departments and academic associations have issued some consensus or guidance on the vaccination of COVID-19, including those during pregnancy, lactation or planned pregnancy (naturally or with assisted reproductive technology). Females, but due to the timing of the release and other reasons, there are different opinions on women's vaccination against COVID-19 during the special period mentioned above. This expert consensus is based on the latest research progress at home and abroad, recommendations from relevant institutions, and relevant policies and regulations in my country, and was formed after discussions by experts. Its purpose is to provide guidance on the vaccination of COVID-19 vaccines for women in my country during pregnancy, pregnancy, and lactation.
ABSTRACT
At present, China is in the stage of the COVID-19 epidemic where regular prevention and control measures are required to contain the spread of disease. Reports of new sporadic cases are still widespread across China and medical personnel remain at high risk of exposure to infection. This is especially the case for medical staff working within emergency departments. Most gynecological emergency cases are complex and a high proportion require emergency surgical treatment. By referring to national regulations and requirements on COVID-19 prevention and control, and by summarizing our experiences in the battle against COVID-19 within Wuhan, this consensus report provides recommendations on the triage, reception, consultation, admission and surgical management of gynecological emergency patients. We also make suggestions for the environmental layout and disinfection and the medical waste management. This consensus aims to optimize the diagnosis and treatment process of gynecological emergency patients and reduce the exposure risk of medical staff within the current context of routine COVID-19 prevention and control.
