Aims: The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of sexual harassment among operating room nurses, and to analyze the influencing factors.
Background: Sexual harassment in the healthcare field has a high incidence and nurses are the main victims; sexual harassment not only leads to physical and mental problems, but also undermines nurses' performance and affects the quality of medical care.
Methods: A multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted using an online survey to investigate the sexual harassment experiences of 483 operating room nurses.
Background: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is one of the most effective ways for HIV-infected to treat AIDS. However, it is difficult to start ART among young people those newly diagnosed HIV-infection in China, and their adherence to ART is poor. We have designed an AIDS educational game called AIDS Fighter · Health Defense, which could improve the AIDS-related knowledge and has the potential to improve AIDS prevention ability of young students.

The study period was from April 2019 to October 2020: first, 14 PLHIV were interviewed to build an item pool; 15 experts were invited to evaluate the scale items. The test-retest reliability of the scale was carried out with 29 PLHIV.

Adaptation of to diverse habitats likely leads to variation in violacein production among phylogenetically closely related species inhabiting different environments, yet genomic mechanisms and the influence of adaptive evolution underpinning violacein biosynthesis in are not clear. In this study, we performed genome sequencing, comparative genomic analysis, and phenotypic characterization to investigate genomic factors regulating violacein production in nine strains, including a type strain from soil and eight strains we isolated from terrestrial subsurface sediment and groundwater.

However, in the face of MEIDs, PHEP is insufficient, so it is necessary to improve PHEP. The rapid development of virtual reality and human-computer interaction provides unprecedented opportunities for innovative educational methods.

With the advance of technology, game-based education has gradually become an important tool for changing healthy behaviors among youth.
Methods: A protocol for conducting a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the "AIDS Fighter · Health Defense", a game-based AIDS education project aimed at improving the ability of adolescents to prevent AIDS.
AIDS has had physical, psychological and social consequences on People living with HIV (PLWH) with the result that the challenges and adversity they face have significantly increased. Resilience helps individuals cope with these adversities and difficulties. For PLWH to face increased challenges and setbacks created by AIDS, they are required to have resilience.
