The screening and analysis of influencing factors for risk population of diabetic foot in community / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective To investigate the status of risk population of diabetic foot in community and analyze the influencing factors.Methods 210 diabetes patients living in a community in Shanghai were enrolled,acoording to Gavin's weighted integral method with risk factors of diabetic foot,Doppler blood flow detector,Semmes Weistein 5.07 (10 g) nylon monofilament and 128Hz tuning fork were used to screen for the risk population of diabetic foot.Results Risk population of diabetic foot were 174 patients (82.9％),wherein the low risk group were 112 patients (53.4％),in the middle and high risk group were 62 people (29.5％).In addition to the Gavin's diabetic foot risk factors,different ages,cultural degrees,the values of FBG,PBG and HbAlc would also affect the risk level of diabetic foot.While the values of FBG,PBG and HbAlc of diabetes patients in the moderate and high risk group were significantly higher than those in the normal group.Conclusions We should make early screening for risk factors of diabetic foot and strengthen health education and management in order to effectively prevent diabetic foot.

A compromise between self-enhancement and honesty: Chinese self-evaluations on social desirability scales.

In this investigation, 202 Chinese college students were asked to complete the 48-item revised Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (Crowne & Marlowe, 1960) which contains 32 items from the original version for the purpose of rating item desirability and estimating the percentage of others in general who would behave in the manner described by these items. Analysis indicated (a) nearly all original items keyed in the original direction, which suggests similar fundamental values are prevalent among American and Chinese college students; (b) the distribution of Chinese scores on the 32 items was somewhat positively skewed rather than negatively skewed as in some Western studies of American and Canadian college students. Also, (c) Chinese subjects perceived that they did significantly more desirable and slightly fewer undesirable things than others from which one may infer that Chinese college students tended to give both self-enhancing and honest responses to present good images; however, their need for self-enhancement may take precedence over the need to be honest. (d) Subjects chose to give more honest responses to undesirable items than to desirable ones because the more undesirable items were rated as approximately more neutral than were more desirable ones. Hence, endorsing such undesirable items would not threaten their self-esteem or face. It can be seen that Chinese subjects made an intelligent compromise between self-enhancement and honesty.
