Traditional Chinese Medicine constitution types of high-normal blood pressure: A meta-analysis.

Objective: We determined the distribution of constitutional types of high-normal blood pressure in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and provided evidence for the prevention of high-normal blood pressure and hypertension.

Methods: Eight digital databases were searched from January 2011 to November 2022, including PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, CNKI, CBM, Wangfang, and CQVIP. We performed a meta-analysis with the random-effects model or fixed-effects model to describe the distribution of constitutional types of high-normal blood pressure in TCM.

A WeChat-based self-compassion training to improve the treatment adherence of patients with schizophrenia in China: Protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: At present, adherence to antipsychotic treatment is often poor, leading to the recurrence of symptoms. This increases the likelihood of the patient experiencing disability and thus increases the disease burden for the patient, their family, and society as a whole. However, to date, there is no clear evidence regarding the effect of medication adherence interventions on outcomes for patients with schizophrenia.

Association between self-care disability and depressive symptoms among middle-aged and elderly Chinese people.

Objective: In the context of an increased focus on geriatric depression in recent years, this study examined the associations between different types of self-care disability, the number of self-care disabilities, and depressive symptoms among middle-aged and elderly Chinese people.

Method: The data for this study were extracted from the follow-up survey (conducted in 2018) of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). The sample comprised 10808 participants aged 45 years and older.

Dignity and its related factors among older adults in long-term care facilities: A cross-sectional study.

Objectives: This study aimed to explore the dignity and related factors among older adults in long-term care facilities.

Methods: Cross-sectional data were obtained from a sample of 253 Chinese older adults dwelling in long-term care facilities. Dignity among older adults was measured using the Dignity Scale, and its potential correlates were explored using multiple linear regressions.

Evaluation of the clinical application of the Postpartum Depression Predictors Inventory-Revised for postpartum women in China.

Aim: This study was designed to assess the clinical applicability of the Postpartum Depression Predictors Inventory-Revised (PDPI-R) during the 1st month following delivery among women in China and to survey the prevalence of postpartum depression (PPD)-related risk factors included in the PDPI-R in this population.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study which recruited 447 women from the People's Liberation Army Hospital in Hefei of Anhui province. All participants completed the Chinese version of the PDPI-R (PDPI-R-C) and the Chinese version of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (C-EPDS) within 1 month of delivery.

Internet-based interventions for postpartum depression: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Design: This review was conducted according to the standards outlined in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement.

Methods: We performed a systematic meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials on the efficacy of Internet-based interventions for postpartum depression.

Internet-based intervention for postpartum depression in China ("Mommy go"): Protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Aim: The purpose of this study is to design a research protocol for the clinical testing of the "Mommy go" for pregnant women with a risk of postpartum depression.

Design: A non-blinded randomized controlled trial.

Methods: A randomized controlled study will be performed from January 2018 to the completion of the study.
