Comparative Study on the Satisfaction of Healthcare Service Providers with the Synergistic Development of Rural Healthcare Systems in China: Medical Alliance Counties vs. Non-Medical Alliance Counties.

Introduction: This study aimed to explore whether the establishment of county medical alliances can improve satisfaction with the vertical integration of healthcare systems among rural medical and healthcare service provider managers and service providers. Our study also sought to provide recommendations for the sustainable development of vertical integration in healthcare systems.

Methods: A semi-structured interview with 30 healthcare service providers was employed in this research, and Nvivo software was utilized to analyze factors that influence vertical integration.

Effects of Social Networks on Job Performance of Individuals among the Hypertension Management Teams in Rural China.

Background: Limited studies have explored the relationship among cross-organizational and multidisciplinary medical staff.

Aim: The present study conducted an in-depth examination and validation of the influence of complex cross-organization and multidisciplinary social networks on the job performance of team members.

Method: Multi-level hierarchical regression analysis was used to assess the impact of the centrality and the characteristics of structural holes in social networks (i.

Hospitalization costs of COPD cases and its associated factors: an observational study at two large public tertiary hospitals in Henan Province, China.

Background: The increasing prevalence of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) has imposed a considerable economic burden. However, there remains a paucity of relevant evidence regarding the hospitalization costs of COPD cases. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to assess the hospitalization costs among COPD cases and investigate the factors that contribute to their costs in Henan Province, China.

Self-perception and COVID-19 vaccination self-efficacy among Chinese adults: A moderated mediation model of mental health and trust.

Background: Optimal Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination coverage is necessary to achieve community protection, and self-efficacy independently predict vaccination behavior. The current study examined the effect of self-perception on COVID-19 vaccination self-efficacy as well as potential mechanisms among Chinese adults.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from four cities in China (n = 6781).

Facile construction of S-containing Co-based metal organic framework core-shell microspheres as an efficient bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst.

A cost-effective non-noble metal bifunctional electrocatalyst towards the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is very important for energy-related applications. Micro/nanomaterials with core-shell structures have emerged as potential non-noble metal catalyst candidates. Herein, an efficient bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst, S-containing Co-based metal organic framework core-shell microspheres (Co-MOF-CSMSs), has been designed and constructed by using 2,2':5',2''-terthiophene-5,5''-dicarboxylic acid as a novel ligand through a facile one-step hydrothermal method.

Pristine S,N-containing Mn-based metal organic framework nanorods enable efficient oxygen reduction electrocatalysis.

Owing to their unique physicochemical properties, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a kind of promising material for electrocatalysis. However, many reports focus on the use of MOFs as precursors to produce efficient electrocatalysts by pyrolysis. The use of pristine MOFs with well-defined structures as efficient electrocatalysts directly is still a challenging problem.
