A happy place to be in: how beliefs about living places influence depression in Chinese international student returnees.
BMC Public Health
December 2024
Independent Researcher, Ho Chi Minh, 727300, Vietnam.
Background: The mental health of Chinese international student returnees is a critical concern impacting their well-being and successful reintegration into home society, especially in the post-COVID-19 era. This study examines how beliefs about changing living conditions, emigration intentions, and belief in fate influence depression levels among these returnees.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey collected data from 1,014 returnees through WeChat public groups.

Background: Low back pain is a prevalent global condition often challenging to address due to the absence of a definitive diagnosis in over 80 % of cases. Manual lifting, common in many work environments, contributes to low back pain due to lumbar spine stresses, and existing assistive technologies like abdominal belts and exoskeletons have limitations in managing low back pain effectively. This paper presents a novel back support device designed to generate abdominal compression during flexion activities, potentially enhancing lumbar stability through increased intra-abdominal pressure.

Background And Objectives: Stroke in young adults has a lifelong impact on activities of daily life, including driving, leisure, and community-based activities; social participation; and reduced productivity. The needs of young people with stroke (YPwS) are likely to vary across different countries, and the development of age-adapted information and interventions is therefore critical in addressing those needs. This study aims to (1) identify the unmet needs of people with stroke aged 18 to 55 years across countries with varied income levels and cultural backgrounds and (2) determine their preferred means to access knowledge and information about stroke in the young.

Background: Resilience, an increasingly important concept in the field of mental illness, refers to the active process by which individuals with mental illness positively adapt to adversity, facilitating their reintegration into society and return to the community. However, the recent pandemic has significantly impacted rehabilitation facility operations, affecting rehabilitation processes and personnel management. Thus, in the post-pandemic period, there is a need for empirical studies to revalidate the resilience of patients in halfway houses and the factors influencing it.
