Background: The trajectories of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) during and after the treatment along with their associated factors are seldom investigated in longitudinal studies. This study aims to investigate the longitudinal trajectories of HRQoL over time and their associated factors in patients with newly diagnosed NPC.
Methods: Between July 2018 and September 2019, a total of 500 patients were finally involved in this study.
Purpose: To validate the hepatitis B virus infection-related stigma scale (HBVISS) using Classical Test Theory and Item Response Theory in a sample of Chinese chronic HBV carriers.
Methods: Feasibility, internal consistency reliability, split-half reliability and construct validity were evaluated using a cross-sectional validation study ( = 1,058) in Classical Test Theory. Content validity was assessed by COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) criteria.
Objective: To investigate the longitudinal prediction of intensity and emotional connection (EC) related to online social networking use at baseline on the risk of incident depression at nine-month follow-up among adolescents.
Methods: A total of 3196 secondary school students, who were online social networking users and free of depression at baseline, were included in this study. Multilevel logistic regression models were applied to investigate the longitudinal prediction of two dimensions of online social networking use intensity (social function use intensity (SFUI), entertainment function use intensity (EFUI)) and EC scores at baseline on incident depression at follow-up.
Background: The potential mechanisms underlying the association between online social networking use intensity and depressive symptoms are unclear and underresearched.
Objective: We aimed to investigate the potential roles of interpersonal psychosocial factors on the association between online social networking use intensity and depressive symptoms among early adolescents.
Methods: A total of 4237 adolescents from a 9-month longitudinal study were included.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the prevalence of two-week illnesses in Guangdong province, China, using high-resolution age-specific mapping to identify health service needs and better allocate health resources.
- The researchers employed Bayesian geostatistical binary regression models, analyzing data from the 2013 National Health Services Survey to estimate illness rates and evaluate health resource distribution.
- Results indicated significant variations in illness prevalence across different age groups and regions, with the highest rates found in central and northern regions, and an overall adjusted prevalence of 16.5%, translating to approximately 17.5 million people reporting illness.
Objectives: The impact of heterogeneity on gender difference for achieving clinically meaningful weight loss (cmWL) remains unclear. Here, we explored the potential gender differences in factors associated with cmWL.
Methods: A total of 60,668 participants with body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m2 at study entry and available BMI values at follow-up were included in this study.
Background And Aims: Problematic online social networking use is prevalent among adolescents, but consensus about the instruments and their optimal cut-off points is lacking. This study derived an optimal cut-off point for the validated Online Social Networking Addiction (OSNA) scale to identify probable OSNA cases among Chinese adolescents.
Methods: A survey recruited 4,951 adolescent online social networking users.
Background: It remains controversial whether weight change could influence the risks of colorectal cancer (CRC) and mortality. This study aimed to quantify the associations between full-spectrum changes in body mass index (BMI) and the risks of colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence, cancer-related and all-cause mortality among midlife to elder population.
Methods: A total of 81,388 participants who were free of cancer and aged 55 to 74 years from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) screening program were involved.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between job satisfaction, work stress, work-family conflict and turnover intention, and explore factors associated with turnover intention, among physicians in Guangdong Province, China.
Methods: From August to October 2013, physicians completed questionnaires and scales with regard to their job satisfaction, work stress, work-family conflict, and turnover intention. Binary logistic regression and structural equation modelling (SEM) were used in data analysis.
Objectives: This cross-sectional study aimed to explore job satisfaction among healthcare staff in Guangdong following the health system reforms in 2009, and to investigate the association between job satisfaction and work stress, work-family conflict and doctor-patient relationship.
Design: Cross-sectional survey.
Setting: The Fifth National Health Service Survey was carried out in Guangdong, China.
The Chinese version of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ (PedsQL™) 3.0 Asthma Module: reliability and validity.
Health Qual Life Outcomes
August 2011
Background: Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) has been recognized as an important health outcome measurement for pediatric patients. One of the most promising instruments in measuring pediatric HRQOL emerged in recent years is the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL™). The PedsQL™ 3.

To provide care and social support to these families, a psychometrically well-developed instrument for measuring these impacts is of great importance. The present study is aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the PedsQL™ Family Impact Module.
