Manifestations of and factors influencing posttraumatic growth among Chinese Crohn's disease patients: a qualitative exploration.

This qualitative study aims to explore the manifestations of posttraumatic growth among Chinese patients with Crohn's disease from a cultural perspective and to identify the factors influencing it. A descriptive qualitative research method was used. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 19 patients with Crohn's disease from several hospitals in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, and the China Crohn's and Colitis Foundation. There were five key manifestations of posttraumatic growth experienced by Chinese patients with Crohn's disease: improving interpersonal relationships, enhancing personal strengths, changing life priorities, expanding possibilities and gaining religious faith. Posttraumatic growth among patients was predominantly influenced by individual factors, the disease condition and social support. The findings regarding the manifestations of and factors influencing posttraumatic growth in Chinese patients with Crohn's disease are consistent with those in previous studies in patients with chronic diseases. However, our study underscores the multifaceted impact of Chinese cultural characteristics on posttraumatic growth among Crohn's disease patients. These findings can offer valuable guidance for future complex interventions and relevant clinical studies conducted within the Chinese population.

The association between leisure activity and mental health in the older adults in China: amazing Guangchangwu.

Since the mental health of older adult is an important topic in the aging society, the main purpose of this study is to understand the mental health status of the older adult in China under different conditions. More importantly, although people generally believe that leisure activities can improve mental health, the impact of these activities on older adult has not yet been fully discussed. Hence, this study further explores that what kind of leisure activity is associated with mental health of the older adult given different conditions. We conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire survey to explore the relationships of various leisure activities on mental health among older adults under different demographics. This study used the Geriatric Depression Scale short forms scale (GDS-15) to assess the mental health of older adults. Based on a sample of 2,006 participants, both two-sample t-test and ANOVA were adopted to analyze the characteristics of mental health among specific subsamples. Our findings indicated that older adults generally have higher mental health scores if they do not have chronic diseases, live with other family members, or reside in urban. First, three leisure activities including walking, Guangchangwu, and hiking have positive associations on mental health for older adults with chronic diseases. Second, the older adults living alone engaged in Guangchangwu or hiking significantly associated with their good mental health. Finally, only Guangchangwu has a significantly positive associated with the mental health of rural older adults. Based on our results, the government and healthcare planners can better allocate limited resources under different conditions to promote certain leisure activities, which are helpful to enhance the mental health of older adults. Guangchangwu is an activity that meets the characteristics of Chinese culture, so we further conclude that it is significantly associated with the good mental health of older adults in China.

Development and validation of the geriatric apathy scale: Examining multi-dimensional apathy profiles in a neurodegenerative population with cultural considerations

BACKGROUNDApathy is a common motivational deficit in neurodegenerative diseases, but lacks a culturally sensitive tool accounting for ethnic Chinese culture's impact on motivation initiation. This study developed and validated the Geriatric Apathy Scale (GAS), comprehensively incorporating cultural nuances, setting diagnostic cutoffs, and examining apathy's multi-dimensional aspects in a neurodegenerative cohort. METHODSThe 16-item GAS was developed by considering ethnic Chinese cultural characteristics and conducting a literature review. The study involved 296 participants, comprising 113 with Parkinson’s disease (PD), 66 with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and 117 healthy controls (HC). All participants completed the GAS, Apathy Evaluation Scale (AES), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15), Mini-Mental State Examination, and Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). RESULTSThe GAS showed good internal consistency (r = 0.862) and test-retest reliability (r = 0.767). It correlated moderately with the AES (r = 0.639, p < .001), weakly with GDS-15 (r = 0.166, p < .01), and negatively with ADLs (r = −1.19, p < .05). Clinical diagnosis cutoff scores were identified at 15.5 for PD (sensitivity: 0.789; specificity: 0.693) and 12.5 for AD (sensitivity: 0.821; specificity: 0.632). Noteworthy disparities were observed in the Cognition and Social Motivation dimension, with elevated severity in both PD and AD compared to HC (p < .01). Interestingly, within-group comparisons revealed greater apathy severity in the Cognition and Social Motivation dimension for PD (p < .001) and AD (p = .001) versus Emotional Response and Expression and Spontaneous Behavioral Activation. CONCLUSIONSThe GAS, a psychometrically validated scale, assesses apathy in neurodegenerative populations, accounting for ethnic Chinese culture's influence. It establishes clinical cutoff points and explores the multi-dimensional nature of apathy.

Experimental and numerical study on seismic performance of steel semi-rigid joints equipped with SMA bars and friction dampers

To reflect and inherit the characteristics of ancient Chinese architecture and regional culture, the Chinese antique building (CAB) imitating ancient Chinese timber building has been constructed using contemporary steel materials. These buildings mostly deploy steel rectangular-shaped beams and circular cross-sectional columns, which normally exhibit typical premature yielding fractures at the beam ends under seismic actions, as well as weak energy dissipation capacity and significant residual deformation. A steel semi-rigid joint equipped with SMA bars and friction dampers was proposed to improve the seismic performance and recoverability of CABs. The proposed joint aims to achieve the purpose of "self-centering during minor to moderate earthquakes" and "high energy-dissipating capacity under severe earthquakes" for CABs. Compared to simple semi-rigid joints, the energy dissipation of joints with friction dampers improved, while the joints equipped with the shape memory alloy (SMA) bar-friction damper coupling devices exhibited significant increases in yield displacement, strength, and overall stiffness, along with remarkable reduction in residual deformation. Based on the test observations, a numerical model was constructed to parametrically optimize the structural design of the damage-controllable steel semi-rigid joints equipped with SMA bars and friction dampers. The research results shall provide a theoretical basis for the proposed joint in engineering applications of steel antique buildings.

Sexual experiences of postmenopausal women in China: a qualitative study.

Sexual dysfunction is common among postmenopausal women and can have a significant negative impact on quality of life. This study aimed to explore perceptions, experiences, and coping strategies related to sex among postmenopausal women in China. We used phenomenologic qualitative methods in this study. On the basis of purposive sampling and the data saturation principle, 21 volunteers from a community cohort study were selected for semistructured interviews. The data were analyzed and themes were extracted. Thematic codes pertaining to sexual experiences and coping strategies were defined and assessed in this study. Four themes and 12 subthemes were extracted from the interview data. The sexual concepts were relatively conservative for most of the Chinese women; the majority experienced physical and psychological distress with respect to sex, although negative and positive psychological experiences were described. The women often passively accepted and adapted to negative changes to their sex lives during the postmenopause period. This study highlights the importance of and need for effective dissemination of sexual health-related knowledge and the opening of appropriate communication channels. By using a qualitative approach, this study provides individuals with the opportunity to describe their cognition and attitudes toward sexuality. Limitations include limited generalizability, as is true for most qualitative research. Additionally, the study is based solely on the female perspective and cannot fully reflect the sex life of couples. The sexual experiences of our respondents exhibited distinct Chinese cultural characteristics. The interviews show the importance of paying attention to postmenopausal women's sexual health and providing relevant professional support and guidance to improve women's overall health-related quality of life.

Study on the Subtitle Translation of Anime Film Goodbye Monster from the Perspective of Skopos Theory

In recent years, China's film and television industry has flourished, and domestic cinemas have released a variety of high-quality movies with different themes. Among them, anime films adapted from Chinese mythological stories are particularly popular with overseas audiences, with Goodbye Monster being one of them. The major feature of these anime films is their rich Chinese cultural elements and distinct national characteristics. Through these film and television works, traditional Chinese culture can be spread overseas, making it an important channel for China's external promotion. For these expressions of the films rich in Chinese cultural characteristics, translators need to handle them appropriately in order to help overseas audiences understand the cultural connotations and achieve cultural exchange between China and foreign countries. This paper employs Vermeer's Skopos theory to study and analyze the subtitle translation of the anime film Goodbye Monster, aiming to provide a reference for future translations of Chinese anime films.

The Critical Reflections on Chinese Students Stereotypes

This article analyses the critical thinking of previous studies from various perspectives on the stereotypes of Chinese students. It focuses on three aspects: What are the earlier stereotypes of Chinese students from numerous international scholars? What do they regard as the reasons for these stereotypes, and what are their respective attitudes? What are the new in-depth views of scholars on these stereotypes, and what initiatives have been proposed to improve the stereotypes of Chinese students? These questions are answered in the following main body section. Through the analysis and summary of scholars findings, it is found that stereotypes of Chinese students can be mainly related to learning styles and traditional Chinese cultural characteristics. The cause of stereotypes primarily comes from the influence of cultural differences between China and the West and the lack of understanding of Chinese education. The scholars critical views on Chinese students stereotypes are mainly about the internal and external environmental influences on Chinese students and the consequences of stereotypes. Therefore, this paper contributes to future research on improving Chinese students stereotypes in the context of international education.
