Methods Sixty-four nurses starting work between January 2008 and October 2009 in our hospital were investigated by Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) and Coping Style Questionnaire. Results The scores of compulsion and mental disorder, average score, and the number of positive items were statistically higher than the national norm of China (Plt;0.001). The scores of athymia, anxiety, hostility, and phobia factors were higher than the national norm (Plt;0.01). The score of paranoid factor was also statistically higher than the national norm (Plt;0.05). Based on the results of SCL-90, we found that the scores of factors of self-accusation, fantasy, back-off (Plt;0.05) and the factor of rationalization (Plt;0.01) in the positive group were significantly higher than those of the negative group. Compared with the result of the research made by WU Chao and his colleges, the average scores of such factors as back-off (Plt;0.001), fantasy (Plt;0.01) and self-accusation (Plt;0.05) were statistically higher in the study group than those in the control group. Conclusion The psychological states of new nurses are worse than the general population. Compared with older nurses, new nurses are more inclined to use immature coping styles. Mature coping styles are favorable to their psychological states. The nursing regulators should pay more attention to the psychological states of new nurses and guide them to use mature coping styles to improve their psychological states.
Objective To investigate the psychological state of college students in the areas affected by the Wenchuan earthquake. Methods A total of 562 college students were selected by stratified random cluster sampling. A self-designed questionnaire as well as Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) were used for survey. Results The SDS scores (46.16±11.95) and SAS scores (34.60±6.50) of the college students were significantly higher than those of the national norms (Plt;0.001), while the SSRS scores (40.46±8.76) were lower than those of the national norms (Plt;0.001). The scores of SSRS and its three dimensions were positively correlated with the SAS scores and were negatively correlated with the SDS scores. Conclusion The college students in the areas affected by the Wenchuan earthquake suffer from anxiety and depression disorders. Good social support is one of the important measures to maintain their mental health.
ObjectiveTo understand the possible influential factors and the effectiveness of interventions for quality of life in breast cancer survivors. MethodThe latest literatures about studies on quality of life in breast cancer survivors were reviewed. ResultsAlthough the cure rate and survival rate of patients with breast cancer had improved, breast cancer as a major stress event, the disease itself and treatment related adverse reactions might cause the fatigue, activity decline, anxiety, depression, and other negative emotions of patients, which seriously affected the quality of life of patients and survival prognosis. The patients’ age, socio-economic background, tumor characteristics, and treatment methods were the factors affecting their quality of life. To a certain extent, meditation, music therapy, and proper physical exercise could improve the quality of life of patients with breast cancer. ConclusionBreast cancer itself and related treatment methods may affect not only the affected organs, but also multiple dimensions of patients’ quality of life, so attention should be paid to improve quality of life in breast cancer survivors, providing with individualized interventions.
Objective To explore the mental health status and influencing factors of clinical medical students pursuing a professional master’s degree under the “dual-track integration” training systems. Methods Clinical medical students pursuing a professional master’s degree who underwent residency standardized training in 123 hospitals from different areas of China were selected as the research objects from May 28th to June 4th, 2024, and the mental health and stress were investigated by questionnaire. Results A total of 1195 clinical medical students pursuing a professional master’s degree were included. Symptom Checklist-90 analysis showed that 582 (48.7%) master students had mental health problems. The two-group students (with and without psychological problems) had statistical differences in exercise frequency, sleep quality, extent of staying up late, interpersonal communication, and average number of night shifts per month (P<0.001). The subjective scores of interpersonal pressure, economic pressure, love and marriage pressure, schoolwork pressure, scientific research pressure, clinical work pressure, entering higher education pressure and employment pressure, and the proportion of graduating from 985/211 university of the master students with psychological problems were significantly higher than those of the master students without psychological problems (P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that poor sleep quality [odds ratio (OR)=1.626, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.085, 2.438), P=0.019], 985/211 university degree [OR=1.448, 95%CI (1.097, 1.910), P=0.009], interpersonal pressure [OR=1.194, 95%CI (1.121, 1.272), P<0.001], love and marriage pressure [OR=1.067, 95%CI (1.014, 1.122), P=0.012] and entering higher education pressure [OR=1.110, 95%CI (1.055, 1.167), P<0.001] were independent risk factors, while the male sex [OR=0.621, 95%CI (0.472, 0.817), P=0.001] were protective factor for psychological problems of these medical students. Conclusions Under the “dual-track integration” training systems, the clinical medical students pursuing a professional master’s degree have a higher prevalence of psychological problems, especially the females and the 985/211 bachelor’s degree scholars. It is important to improve sleep quality, strengthen interpersonal interaction and reduce pressure load to improve the mental health level of these clinical medical students.
