Association between domain-specific physical activity and mental health status after embryo transfer in IVF-ET-assisted pregnancy patients

Physical activity has been shown to impact mental health in in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) patients, but the relationship between domain-specific physical activity and mental health in this population remains unclear. In a cross-sectional observational study, 208 patients undergoing IVF-ET with long-term ovulation induction cycles were recruited from a reproductive center. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire and the symptom checklist 90 (SCL-90) were used to assess physical activity levels and mental health status, respectively. Analyses of variance and linear regression analyses were conducted to identify the relationship between physical activity and mental health. There were differences between different physical activity level in times of transfers, years of infertility, and times of abortions. Patients with high levels of physical activity had fewer symptoms than those with low levels of physical activity. Occupation, transport and household physical activity had significant negative correlations with the respective SCL-90 factor scores. Linear regression analysis revealed that occupation physical activity was associated with lower depression and anxiety, and transport physical activity and household physical activity were associated with lower obsessive–compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, and psychoticism scores. The study indicates that increased engagement in physical activity, specifically activities related to occupation, transportation, and household, may be associated with improved mental health among IVF-ET patients.

The relationship between typical dreams and mental health of residents in village-in-city

AimThis study aimed to explore the relationship between typical dreams and the mental health of residents in village-in-city. MethodsThis study used the Chinese version of the Typical Dreams Questionnaire and Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) to investigate the mental health status and typical dream themes of 1,190 residents recruited through random sampling from a village-in-city in Xi'an. Correlation analysis, t-test, and binary regression analysis were performed on the data using SPSS 24.0. ResultsThe five most frequent dream themes among residents in the village-in-city were "falling"; "school, teacher, study"; "being chased but not physically injured"; "enjoying delicious food"; and "repeatedly trying to do something," in the given order. The most frequent dream theme with negative SCL-90 factors was "falling" and with positive SCL-90 factors was "school, teacher, study." Typical dreams on different themes were significantly correlated with SCL-90 factors. The theme of "enjoying delicious food" was not significantly associated with most factors in SCL-90.

Analysis of scores of Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) questionnaire of 182 parents of children with spinal muscular atrophy: a cross-sectional study.

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a hereditary disorder characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophy in children. However, less attention is paid to psychiatric symptoms of SMA parents. Attention to the psychiatric symptoms of parents of SMA children can improve the comprehensiveness of family support for SMA children, which is beneficial to the rehabilitation of SMA children. Here, we conducted a survey on the psychiatric symptoms of SMA parents and analyzed its relevant factors, with an attempt to inform the psychological support for SMA parents. The Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) and a self-designed basic information (such as parent's gender, household area, place of residence, education background, etc.) questionnaire (in electronic questionnaire) were distributed to parents of SMA children aged 0-18 in a charity WeChat group sponsored by the Meier Advocacy & Support Center for SMA during the period from August 1 to August 31, 2021. Parents completed the electronic questionnaires by mobile phone or computer voluntarily. A total of 188 questionnaires were obtained, of which 182 were valid. Comparisons were performed with the SCL-90 adult norms as the standards. The potential correlations between the general data of SMA parents and children and abnormal factors in the SCL-90 for SMA parents were analyzed. The SCL-90 factors somatization (1.56±0.80, P=0.002), depression (1.78±0.98, P<0.001), anxiety (1.58±0.87, P=0.007), fear (1.39±0.74, P=0.003), and sleep and eating problems (1.67±0.87, P=0.014) of SMA parents were significantly higher than the national norms. Place of residence was correlated with sleep and eating problems (r=0.158, P=0.033). Increasing age [odds ratio (OR) =1.012, P=0.014] and continuous home-living status (OR =0.360, P=0.031) of SMA children increased the risk of depression in their parents, and the lack of rehabilitation management in SMA children increased the risk of anxiety of their parents (OR =0.409, P=0.038). Non-urban residence (OR =2.602, P=0.017) and poor physical health (OR =0.163, P=0.031) were the relevant factors for the increased risk of sleep and eating problems in SMA parents. SMA parents have a higher risk of developing psychiatric symptoms problems compared with the general population. Increasing age and the continuous home-living status of SMA children increase the risk of depression in their parents, and the lack of rehabilitation management increase the risk of anxiety in SMA parents.

Effect of Kangaroo Mother Care on the Psychological Stress Response and Sleep Quality of Mothers With Premature Infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of kangaroo mother care on the psychological stress response and sleep quality of mothers with premature infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).MethodsA randomized controlled design was used to recruit participants. The study recruited 126 mothers of premature infants in the NICU from January 2019 to January 2020. The participants were divided into the experimental and control groups according to the random number table method (63 mothers per group). The control group was managed with conventional premature infant treatment, nursing programme, and discharge education, whereas the experimental group was managed with a 4-week kangaroo mother care intervention. The psychological stress state and sleep status of mothers with preterm infants in both the groups were evaluated using the Symptom Check List 90 (SCL-90) and Assens Insomnia Scale (AIS).ResultsAfter the intervention, the total SCL-90 score and factor scores such as coercion, interpersonal relationships, depression, anxiety, hostility and additional factors, were lower in the experimental group than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The total AIS score and the items such as night waking, total sleep time, total sleep quality, daytime mood and daytime body function were lower in the experimental group than those in the control group (P < 0.05).ConclusionsThe Kangaroo mother care approach can relieve adverse psychological stress and improve the sleep status of mothers of NICU premature infants after mother-infant separation. It can be promoted and used in mothers of premature infants in the NICU to enhance physical and mental health.

The Prevalence of Psychological Symptoms in Pregnant Healthcare Workers (HCWs) and Pregnant Non-HCWs During the Early Stage of COVID-19 Pandemic in Chongqing, China.

Background: Studies showed that healthcare workers (HCWs) and pregnant women bore the burden of mental problems during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. While, few studies have focused on the psychological impact of COVID-19 pandemic on pregnant women who work at healthcare settings. This study aimed to investigate and compare the prevalence difference of psychological symptoms between pregnant HCWs and pregnant non-HCWs during the early stage of COVID-19 pandemic in China.Methods: A cross-sectional online survey with anonymous structured questionnaires was conducted from February 15 to March 9, 2020. A total of 205 pregnant women in Chongqing, China were recruited. The mental health status was assessed using symptom checklist-90 (SCL-90).Results: Our sample was composed of 83 pregnant HCWs (mean age = 29.8) and 122 pregnant non-HCWs (mean age = 30.8). The results suggested the prevalence of psychological symptoms (the factor score ≥2) among all pregnant women ranged from 6.83% (psychosis symptoms) to 17.56% (obsessive-compulsive symptoms). Compared with pregnant non-HCWs, pregnant HCWs reported higher prevalence of psychological symptoms in 10 factors of SCL-90. After controlling the confounding variables, multiple logistic regression demonstrated that pregnant HCWs experienced higher prevalence of psychological symptoms of somatization (18.07 vs. 5.74%, p = 0.006, aOR = 4.52), anxiety disorders (16.87 vs. 6.56%, p = 0.016, aOR = 3.54), and hostility (24.10 vs. 10.66%, p = 0.027, aOR = 2.70) than those among pregnant non-HCW.Conclusion: Our study indicated that pregnant HCWs were more likely to suffer from mental health distress than pregnant non-HCWs during the early stage of COVID-19 pandemic. It is vital to implement targeted psychological interventions for pregnant women, especially for pregnant HCWs to cope with distress when facing the emerging infectious diseases.

The effect of refined nursing intervention on patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis in the hemodialysis center during the COVID-19 epidemic

BackgroundThe outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia has exerted considerable psychological pressure on patients undergoing hemodialysis, resulting in unhealthy psychological emotions. Therefore, it is of great significance to carry out strict management and refined nursing intervention for patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis during the prevention and control of novel coronavirus. This study aims to analyze and discuss the effect of clinical refined nursing intervention on patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic.MethodsThis was a prospective cohort study. In this study, we used the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) or the Chinese adult SCL-90 norm to conduct nursing interventions for patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis to investigate the effect of clinical refined nursing intervention on patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis during the COVID-19 epidemic.ResultsThe scores for all the factors of SCL-90 of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis were higher than those of the Chinese SCL-90, and patients with a single factor score ≥ 2 had a higher level of depression and anxiety, with extremely significant difference (p < 0.01). The depression and anxiety of the patients were reduced after the intervention, and there was a statistical difference. Among the 172 patients, the results of both nucleic acid tests were negative.ConclusionDuring the COVID-19 epidemic, providing patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis with refined nursing intervention can regulate negative emotions, reduce related complications, improve their quality of life, and improve the nurse–patient relationship.

Evaluation of the mental health status of community healthcare workers during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly spread across China and many countries worldwide, and community healthcare workers at the front lines of disease control are under high physical and mental pressure. This study investigated the mental health status of community healthcare workers during the COVID-19 outbreak in Sichuan Province, China. This cross-sectional study, which was conducted from February 8 to 18, 2020, involved 450 healthcare workers in 18 community hospitals who had worked for more than 1 year. A self-designed demographic data questionnaire and Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) were provided to the participants through links and quick response codes. The respondents completed and submitted the questionnaires online. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze multiple factors related to the SCL-90 scores of these community healthcare workers in China. For the 450 community healthcare workers who completed the study, the median scores in each SCL-90 factor were lower than the Chinese norms, and 119 (26.4%) participants were SCL-90 positive. Among them, 178 participants were doctors and had the highest scores on most SCL-90 factors except for obsessive compulsiveness, hostility, phobic anxiety, and psychoticism (P < 0.05). The top 3 positive items for doctors working in the community were obsessive compulsiveness, others, and somatization, and those among nurses were obsessive compulsiveness, others, and hostility. Sex, type of workers, and occupational exposure risk to COVID-19 were independent risk factors for the mental health status of the community healthcare workers. Overall, the community healthcare workers experienced psychological problems during the COVID-19 outbreak in Sichuan Province, China. More attention should be paid to the mental health of these workers, and their mental status should be regularly assessed. Psychological interventions should be provided to those with serious mental problems through networks or telephone visits.

Mental health status of medical staff in the epidemic period of coronavirus disease 2019.

To explore the psychological status of medical staff in the epidemic period of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and to analyze its influential factors. A total of 373 medical staff from Xiangya Hospital and the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University were enrolled for this study. The General Sociological Data Questionnaire, Symptom Check-List 90 (SCL-90), and self-designed public opinion response questionnaire were used to assess general sociological data, mental health scores, and ability to respond to COVID-19 related public opinion information of medical staff. The mental health scores of medical staff with different general sociological data and public opinion information coping abilities were compared. Influential factors of mental health were analyzed. The average score of 10 factors in SCL-90 of 373 medical staff was less than 2 points. 14.21% medical staff had one or more factor scores more than two points, including 11.26% with terror symptoms, 7.77% with compulsive symptoms, and 5.63% with anxiety. The main sources of COVID-19 information for medical staff included WeChat, microblog, Jinri toutiao, TV and radio. 66.22% medical staff regularly verified information about COVID-19 through official websites or formal channels. A great deal of COVID-19 information in WeChat could make medical staff nervous (34.05%), anxious (30.29%), and insecure (29.22%). 68.63% medical staff sometimes were worried about getting infected because they knew information about COVID-19. Different departments of medical staff, getting cough or having a fever recently, and the degree of fear of infection had an impact on the SCL-90 score of medical staff, the differences were all statistically significant (all P<0.05). Stepwise regression analysis showed that the impact of COVID-19 information on their life in WeChat, getting cough or having a fever recently, insomnia-early caused by COVID-19 information in WeChat, different departments, and the degree of fear of infection COVID-19 were the influential factors for the mental health of medical staff (all P<0.05).
