Latent class analysis and longitudinal development trajectory study of psychological distress in patients with stroke: a study protocol.

Background: Psychological distress affects the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with stroke, affects their long-term functional exercise and quality of life, and increases the risk of stroke recurrence and even death. This is a multi-dimensional and multi-level mental health problem and a dynamic process variable that shows a dynamic development trend with time. However, previous studies have been insufficient to deeply study the change mechanism of psychological distress, and there remains a lack of forward-looking longitudinal studies to analyze its change trajectory.

Status and influencing factors of undergraduate midwifery students' core competencies: A cross sectional study.

Introduction: Midwifery undergraduate students' core competencies directly affect the quality of midwifery services and overall quality of midwifery teams. However, limited research has explored the core competencies of undergraduate midwifery students in China.

Objectives: This study aimed to describe the level of core competencies among undergraduate midwifery students in China and investigated possible associated factors.

Heterogeneity and associated factors of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome health behaviors: a latent class analysis.

Objective: Using latent class to analyze whether there are subtypes of health behaviors in patients with PCOS can be addressed using targeted interventions.

Methods: October 2021 to June 2022, 471 PCOS patients were surveyed using the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile Questionnaire. Latent class analysis (LCA) was used to identify subgroups of PCOS patients.

The effect of anxiety and depression on the health-related quality of life of severe acute pancreatitis survivors: structural equation modeling approach.

Background: Understanding the relationship between anxiety, depression and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) provides important clues to alleviate anxiety, depression and improve HRQOL in patients after severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). The aim of this study was to examine the effects of anxiety and depression on HRQOL in post-SAP patients using structural equation modeling.

Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used and 134 patients with SAP from the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University were recruited.

A structural equation model linking health literacy, self-efficacy, and quality of life in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Background: Health literacy is a crucial factor that affects health outcomes. Understanding the current status of health literacy among patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the basis for helping patients better manage risk factors and improve their health outcomes. This study aimed to explore the status of and factors influencing health literacy in patients with PCOS, and to validate the pathway between health literacy, quality of life, and self-efficacy for these patients.

The effects of a mobile phone-based psychological intervention program on stress, anxiety and self-efficacy among undergraduate nursing students during clinical practice: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Nursing students experience high levels of stress and anxiety during clinical practice. Although several psychological intervention programs have been developed to alleviate their distress, studies on the effects of mobile phone-based programs are limited.

Objective: This study examined the effects of a mobile phone-based psychological intervention program on stress, anxiety, and self-efficacy among undergraduate nursing students during clinical practice.

Development and validation of a prediction model for depression in adolescents with polycystic ovary syndrome: A study protocol.

Introduction: The high prevalence and severity of depression in adolescents with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a critical health threat that must be taken seriously. The identification of high-risk groups for depression in adolescents with PCOS is essential to preventing its development and improving its prognosis. At present, the routine screening of depression in adolescents with PCOS is mainly performed using scales, and there is no early identification method for high-risk groups of PCOS depression in adolescents.

Effects of multidimensional life management on healthy behavior in polycystic ovary syndrome patients: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To confirm the effects of a transtheoretical model (TTM) based on multidimensional life management on healthy behavior in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Methods: In total, eighty eligible patients were recruited from March 2021 to June 2021 and randomly assigned to either the intervention ( = 40) or control ( = 40) groups. Outcome measures include health-promoting behavior, self-efficacy, anthropometrics, and the number of unplanned outpatient admissions.

Factors affecting the adoption of health-promoting behaviours in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome: a cross-sectional study.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate health-promoting lifestyle status and associated risk factors in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Setting: This study was conducted at a tertiary hospital in Guizhou, China from December 2020 to June 2021.

Prevalence of fatigue and associated factors among clinically stable patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in Guizhou, China: A cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Fatigue is important, but ignored symptom among COPD patients. At present, there is very limited data are available for the prevalence of fatigue and its risk factors among COPD patients in China.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of fatigue and to investigate the factors associated with fatigue among clinically stable patients with COPD in China.

A mobile health application to support self-management in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a randomised controlled trial.

Objective: To investigate the effects of a mobile health smartphone application to support self-management programmes on quality of life, self-management behaviour and exercise and smoking cessation behaviour in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Design: A randomised controlled, single-blind trial, was carried out from November 2017 to February 2019, which included 78 participants admitted with COPD to the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University in Guizhou. The study participants were randomised into intervention ( = 39) and control groups ( = 39).

Using deep-learning techniques for pulmonary-thoracic segmentations and improvement of pneumonia diagnosis in pediatric chest radiographs.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of a deep-learning model to segment the lung and thorax regions in pediatric chest X-rays (CXRs). Validating the diagnosis of bacterial or viral pneumonia could be improved after lung segmentation.

Materials And Methods: A clinical-pediatric CXR set including 1351 patients was proposed to develop a deep-learning model for the pulmonary-thoracic segmentations.
