A Randomized Controlled Study of Improving Patient Satisfaction With Community Health Services Through Health Promotion Interventions in Xian, China

Introduction: This study examines the effectiveness of health promotion in improving patient satisfaction with community health services. Methods: We conducted a single-blind randomized controlled trial on the patients from the Community Health Service Centres of Xi’an, China, from June to August 2022. The participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a placebo group. Both groups received 3-week WeChat education, with the intervention group receiving online intervention education including 9 items, such as about community health service, the rights and welfare of patients, the basic workflow of staff, routine medical examination items for patients, common medical knowledge, nutrition during COVID-19 pandemic, doctor-patient communication skill and medical advice and discussion, while the placebo group received related information about health care and health. Data were collected before and after the intervention, and the results were measured using a social demographic questionnaire and the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ-18), which were analysed using SPSS 23.0 version. Results: In the study, 312 patients were enrolled, with 156 assigned to the intervention group and 156 assigned to the placebo group. The Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ-18) revealed that the general satisfaction domain showed the most improvement, increasing from Mean (SD)=3.474 (0.060) to Mean (SD)=3.994 (0.045) before the intervention. Results from the two-way repeated measures ANOVA show that time has a significant effect on patient satisfaction particularly the general satisfaction, technical quality, communication, financial aspect, and time spent. Conclusions: The intervention significantly improved patient satisfaction in the intervention group compared to the placebo group, particularly in the areas of general satisfaction, technical quality, communication, and time spent (test within subjects). Statistically significant differences were observed in mean values before and after the intervention.

Evaluation of Neurodevelopmental Screening Test Scores in Children with Vitamin B12 Deficiency.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to hematological findings, neurological symptoms, and neurodevelopmental delay. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of vitamin B12 deficiency on the neurodevelopment of children. This study included 89 children aged between 6 and 24 months without any complaints; 44 of these were evaluated in the study group (serum vitamin B12 <300 pg/mL) and 45 in the control group (serum vitamin B12 ≥300 pg/mL). Denver Developmental Screening Test II (DDST-II) and the Social Communication Area Screening Test (SCAST) were evaluated in each participant. The mean vitamin B12 level in the study group was 206.11 ± 9.1 pg/mL, and in the control group, it was 540.65 ± 24.1 pg/mL. When DDST-II results were analyzed, the rate of getting suspicious and abnormal results in the study group was significantly higher compared with the control group (p = 0.001). The rate of the "risky" SCAST results of the cases was found to be statistically significantly higher in the study group than in the control group (p = 0.003). Vitamin B12 values of patients with suspicious or abnormal DDST-II results and with risky SCAST results were found to be statistically significantly lower than those with normal neurodevelopmental screening tests results (p = 0.001 and p = 0.001, respectively). Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to neurodevelopmental delay in children, even in the absence of neurological and hematological symptoms or complaints, which highlights the importance of early detection and intervention of vitamin B12 deficiency.

Коммуникативные трудности в обучении младших школьников

&lt;p&gt;The article describes the main learning difficulties primary school students face in communication. To identify these difficulties we useda digital adaptation of the School Anxiety Test (Phillips Test). Primary school students from 5 subjects of the Russian Federation were recruited for this study (The Republic of Tatarstan, Lipetsk Region, Volgograd Region, Chuvash Republic, Samara Region). 2031 4th grade students aged 9-11 years participated in the research. The data obtained revealed a significant percentage of primary school students with increased and high levels of anxiety and fears associated with school, which can be predictors of educational difficulties and school failure. Experimental testing of the developed diagnostic program proved that: 1) our initial theoretical assumptions about the forms of manifestations of learning difficulties of primary school students in the communicative area were reasonable; 2) the diagnostic method of some specific manifestations of learning difficulties is valid.&lt;/p&gt;

Auditory-friendly activities for people with autism spectrum disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is associated with persistent impairments in adaptive functioning across multiple domains including social, communicative, occupational, and other important areas of daily life. Sensory abnormalities have often been reported as symptoms of ASD, and auditory over-responsiveness (AOR) is the most common sensory-perceptual abnormality in individuals with ASD. Recently, we reported that a greater magnitude of acoustic startle reflex in response to weak stimuli of 65-85 dB was found in children with ASD compared to those with typical development. This index was related to various clinical features, including sensory problems, autistic traits, emotional/behavioral difficulties, and adaptive/maladaptive behaviors in ASD children. This intensity level of acoustic stimuli is frequently experienced in everyday situations environment. Noise affects several aspects of both physical and mental health and those with AOR might be affected more by their daily environment. Thus, for the healthy development of ASD children with AOR it is important to create an auditory-friendly environment. We have conducted several auditory-friendly activities. These activities might raise awareness about AOR of people with ASD.

Exploring the Influencing Factors of Breaking Through the Information Cocoon

In information dissemination, the public often only focuses on the areas of communication they are interested in. Over time, the algorithm recommendation mechanism of online platforms will confine users to information cocoons like cocoon rooms. Information cocoons allow users to continuously obtain homogeneous information, resulting in a narrow field of vision and a negative impact on media dependence. With improving media awareness and self-awareness among users, some users are actively breaking the information cocoon. This paper investigates the behavior of Weibo users, combined with their behavioral characteristics, to study their proactive behavior and explore the factors that affect them to break the information cocoon. This can help users break through the information cocoon and receive more comprehensive and rich information. Simultaneously achieving a balance in user access to information across various platforms is beneficial for long-term retention. Specifically, a quantitative study is conducted using a questionnaire survey method. Then, correlation analysis and result regression analysis were used for the analysis. The conclusion is that the more frequent information encounters and policy interference, the higher the complexity of online information, and the easier it is for users to break through the information cocoon.

Developing a construct to measure contractor project manager performance competencies

PurposeConstruction organizations' investment in effective talent-development programs is a key strategy in attracting, developing and retaining staff. Such programs are especially important given the current challenges in the construction workforce, including labor shortages, an aging workforce, generational differences in the workforce, supply chain disruptions and the need to effectively train staff in the skills that are essential in a constrained labor environment. To address these challenges, this study proposes a performance measurement strategy that construction companies can use as input to design their talent development programs.Design/methodology/approachThe strategy intends to assess the performance of project managers and develop criteria that define categories of their performance, including the top performers' category. This enables construction organizations to provide each project manager with individualized training that addresses areas of weakness and in turn, develops the skills that correspond with being top performers. The proposed strategy was developed and tested by surveying the immediate supervisors of 187 project managers working for general and specialty contractors in the United States. Principal component analysis was used to develop a single performance construct from seven performance criteria.FindingsThis construct was used to organize the project managers into the categories of top, above-average and below-average performers. According to the findings, top-performing project managers have well-rounded skills in the areas of leadership, communication, technical proficiency and overall job knowledge.Practical implicationsThe outcomes of this study can help construction organizations focus their talent-development programs on the skills most associated with PMs being top performers.Originality/valueThis study provides construction organizations with a comprehensive performance-measuring construct to focus their talent-development programs on the skills most associated with top-performing project managers. Researchers can use this study as a foundation for further understanding how performance is related to various construction professions.

Development of Literary Competence Through a Semiotic Approach and Technological Resources

Currently, literary competence is scarcely addressed in secondary education teaching. Therefore, the objective of this study was to design a didactic proposal to improve literary competence through a semiotic approach and technological resources in secondary school students of an educational center located in the city of Lambayeque. The research was quantitative, non-experimental and descriptive-propositive design. The instrument used was the "Likert scale to evaluate literary competence", which was applied to a sample of 32 fifth grade students, selected by non-probabilistic sampling. As a result, it was obtained that the students presented low levels of achievement, since 100% of them only evidenced beginning processes. In response to this problem, a didactic proposal for the comprehension and production of narrative discourse was designed and validated from a semiotic perspective using ICT resources. We conclude on the importance of the contributions in the area of communication, which can integrate didactics with technology, contributing to the pedagogical processes for current generations and educational systems of the globalized world.

Anti-resonance fiber propagating 86 orbital angular momentum modes with high purity for a long distance

Future advances in information transmission technology require better capacities for fiber optics communication. As a new degree of freedom, the orbital angular momentum (OAM) has attracted extensive attention in the field of mode division multiplexing. Herein, an anti-resonance fiber (ARF) is designed with three different materials, SF11, LaSF09, and SiO2, for the negative curvature tube. Systematic analysis and optimization are carried out to determine the number of layers of the negative curvature tubes in the cladding, the number of second-layer cladding tubes, and thickness of the annular area. The finite element analysis software COMSOL is utilized to calculate the effective refractive index difference, dispersion, limiting loss, and other characteristics. The ARF can stably transmit 86 OAM modes in the wavelength range between 1.2 and 2.0[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m, and the minimum refractive index difference is greater than [Formula: see text], which effectively reduces the mode abridgment. The nonlinear coefficients of the HE[Formula: see text] mode and the OAM purity of HE[Formula: see text] mode are 0.34[Formula: see text]km[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]⋅[Formula: see text]W[Formula: see text] and 99.43%, respectively, thus facilitating stable transmission of OAM modes for a long transmission distance. The anti-resonance fiber has significant application potential in long-distance network information transmission, relay communication, and other communication areas.

Integrating the business of oncology during oncology fellowship: An ASCO State of Cancer Care in America (SOCCA) study of professional preparedness and practice expectations among medical oncology fellow physicians in training between 2013 and 2023.

48 Background: The current healthcare climate calls for a deep understanding among physicians on the business side of medicine. Oncology fellows entering clinical practice face key issues related to the business of cancer care, prompting us to explore the preparation from fellowship training for those financial competencies that factor into day-to-day practice. Methods: All fellows taking the 2023 ASCO Medical Oncology In-Training Exam (ITE) were invited to participate in a post-exam survey which included items on perception of preparedness for future practice and expected practice setting. Respondents answering one or more survey items are included in this analysis. Practice setting expectations were compared to findings from the 2013 post-ITE survey (n=1536). Descriptive statistics and Chi-squared tests comparing responses by fellowship year and exam years are presented. Results: Overall, 2184 (97%) of 2231 fellows taking the 2023 ITE participated in this post-ITE survey study, including 704 in their first, 807 in their second, and 673 in their third year of fellowship. Overall, in areas of communication, most felt adequately prepared by their program: communicating with patients about treatment options (98%), multidisciplinary care coordination (97%), electronic records or other healthcare tech use (95%), staying up to date on changes in oncology (95%), and practicing cultural humility (92%). However, in areas on business of oncology, a greater proportion felt under- or unprepared; specifically, 30% of fellows felt unprepared or unsure about discussing the cost of medical care with patients, 35% on obtaining prior authorization, and 45% on participating in alternative payment models. Compared to 2013, the expected practice setting of the 2023 fellows remained unchanged with subsets anticipating an academic practice (62% in 2023 vs 61% in 2013), non-academic practice (hospital/health system or physician/independently owned; 32% in 2023 vs 34% in 2013), government/regulatory (2%), industry (&lt;1%), or other setting (3%). Conclusions: While nearly all oncology fellows reported high levels of preparedness for certain essential components of patient-centered multidisciplinary practice, over a third felt unprepared or underprepared to navigate domains under the business of oncology. These findings highlight the opportunity to augment oncology fellowship training to include financial competencies of clinical practice and care, which collectively form the foundation of cancer care.

Design Considerations of Time-Interleaved Discrete-Time Beamformers Toward Wideband Communications

Efficient exploitation of wide bandwidth data communication requires antenna array providing high gain across all frequency components for both transmit and receive equipment. In contrast to the frequency-dependent phased array, true-time-delay (TTD) arrays are appealing yet insufficiently investigated alternative for both fast initial access (IA) process and wideband directional data communications. In this brief, the mathematical relationship of delay before and after the frequency conversion is first discussed, which lays a foundation of the TTD beamformed system followed by a step-by-step design procedure and its tradeoff. Finally, system-level analysis is presented to estimate the minimum interleaving factor and silicon area for both IA and data communications associating the circuit design tradeoffs. The three-part analysis aims to provide a quick starter guide to design a TTD array.
