Evaluation of the Effectiveness of MOOC-based Flipped Learning in College Mental Health Curriculum

Background and Aim: The flipped classroom redefines psychological health education by using technology for independent study before class and engaging in interactive and applied learning activities in class. Thus, two research objectives were proposed: (1) To compare the difference in the effectiveness of the new MOOC-based flipped learning on students' learning outcomes compared to traditional teaching in undergraduates’ mental health curriculum. (2) To explore students' attitudes to new MOOC-based flipped teaching methods. Materials and Methods: This study was designed as a pretest and posttest trial. The sample was 60 freshmen from two Sichuan University classes allocated to two groups using purposive samplings: group 1 for traditional learning, and group 2 for flipped learning. The performance test and semi-structured interview were employed in this study as research instruments. Both groups' pretest and posttest scores were obtained for learning outcome comparison. The students' attitudes to the new teaching methods were obtained through semi-structured interviews. Results: The mean pretest and posttest scores in group 1 were 58.87 and 82.17 respectively, while in group 2, they were 58.67 and 86.53 respectively. The mean improvement in knowledge score was significantly higher in group 2 (M=27.87, SD=3.14) compared to group 1 (M=23.30, SD=1.69). The level of statistical significance was P < .001. The results of the semi-structured interviews indicated that almost all participants had very positive opinions regarding flipped learning based on MOOCs. Conclusion: The research demonstrates that MOOC-based flipped learning increases the student learning effectiveness to obtain better score performance and make it worth promoting.

Psychological Study on the Influence of Physical Exercise on College Students’ Anxiety

This study aims to explore the impact of physical exercise on the anxiety level of college students. We collected physical exercise data and anxiety self-assessment results from college students of different grades, genders, and ages from multiple universities in Guangdong Province through a questionnaire survey. The study used standardized scales to evaluate participants’ physical exercise types, frequencies, intensities, and anxiety levels. The data analysis results showed that there is a significant negative correlation between college students’ physical exercise and anxiety level, that is, the more frequent and intense the physical exercise, the lower the anxiety level. In addition, there are differences in the effect of different types of physical exercises on anxiety relief, with aerobic exercises such as running and swimming showing more significant anxiety-relieving effects. The research results provide valuable references for psychological health education and anxiety intervention strategies in universities and suggest promoting physical exercise to effectively alleviate college students’ anxiety.

Exploring the Effectiveness of Psychological Health Education for College Students under the Background of Course Ideology and Politics

Due to social progress and technological development, China is entering a period of diverse cultural development. However, this diverse cultural development has also had some negative impacts, such as the worship of materialism and hedonism. College students are young, have limited social experience, and have weak self-restraint abilities, all of which can lead to an imbalance in their mentality and loss of thought. To better promote their mental health growth and further improve the quality of talent cultivation, we should strengthen our concepts, improve teaching methods, and integrate ideological and political education into the curriculum in mental health. In this way, we can integrate and interact with both. This article aims to explore how universities can closely link mental health with college students, and how to improve their psychology through this approach, making it more targeted in practical work.

Health literacy and self-management among middle-aged and young hypertensive patients: a parallel mediation effect of illness perception and self-efficacy.

Hypertension is increasingly prevalent among young and middle-aged populations in rural China, accompanied by suboptimal self-management. Given that this population forms the backbone of the labor force, enhancing their self-management capabilities is crucial for improving overall population health. Studies indicate that individuals with good health literacy are more likely to effectively manage their health. Grounded in the health literacy skills framework, a model was constructed in this study to examine the impact of health literacy on self-management among young and middle-aged hypertensive patients in rural China. Meanwhile, the mediating roles of illness perception and self-efficacy were also verified. Using a multi-stage stratified random sampling method, 338 patients were recruited to participate in the study. Structural equation modeling was utilized to establish the relationship model, and bootstrap tests were carried out to examine the mediating effects. The average self-management score was 70.45 ± 11.36. Health literacy exhibited a positive correlation with self-management (standardized β = 0.372, p < 0.001). The mediating effects through illness perception and self-efficacy were 0.040 and 0.236, constituting 6.68 and 39.31% of the total effect, respectively. Illness perception and self-efficacy serve as parallel mediators amid the association between health literacy and self-management. Implementing psychological counseling and health education is imperative for augmenting self-management competence and cultivating an adaptive coping mentality.

Influencing factors on the psychosomatic health of medical staff since the normalized stage of COVID-19 in mainland China.

During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)pandemic, there were under-recognized and unaddressed psychosomatic health problems among medical staff. The purpose of this study was to investigate their psychosomatic status. An online questionnaire was performed to the medical staff of major hospitals in Jinan in January 2023.

Finally, we analyzed the influencing factors for their psychosomatic status. The psychological health of the medical staff was poor, and the level of stress perception was intense, accompanied by obvious psychosomatic symptoms. Regression analysis indicated that age, gender, frontline involvement, work experience, marriage, presence of disease history and COVID-19 infection history were risk factors for psychosomatic symptoms, while education, frontline involvement and presence of disease history were risk factors for stress feeling. Medical staff often showed obvious psychosomatic symptoms and intense stress. Psychological health education and intervention should be given in order to improve their working quality.
