Mindful self-care and mental well-being of university health educators and professionals in Hail Region, Saudi Arabia.

Psychological stress is a familiar occurrence as it is linked with a sense of lack of control when up fronted with uncertainty. The study examines the mindful self-care practices of health educators and professionals in various domains and determines their relationship to the self-perceived level of mental well-being. The study employs the quantitative descriptive approach. It was conducted in the Hail region in the academic year 2020-2021 and was participated by 91 respondents from various colleges. Self-care practices and mental well-being of health educators and professionals were determined using the Mindful Self-Care Scale and the Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale. Pearson correlation (2-tailed) was performed to assess the significant relationship between self-care behavior and mental well-being. Post-hoc test for correlation was conducted between the mean rating for each variable for self-care behavior and the mean rating for mental well-being. This was tested at an appropriate probability value of 0.01 and 0.05. The overall mean for self-care behaviors of the respondents was 3.96 (SD 0.81) while the overall mental well-being score was 51.90 (SD 8.0). This was considered as average mental well-being, not indicative of possible/clinical depression. A significant relationship exists between the overall rating for self-care behavior and the overall rating for mental well-being (r = 0.661, P value < 0.001). Furthermore, with a correlation score of 0.661, the two variables have a moderately strong and significant positive relationship. The study affirmed the relationship between mindful self-care behaviors and mental well-being. Engaging in self-care practices regularly and frequently can develop one's well-being.

Innovative safety education method for architectural faculties to promote a culture of prevention in line with a “Vision Zero approach”

Investigation on The Current Situation of Health Education Policy Implementation and Research on Development Countermeasures

According to my country's "Health Education and Health Promotion Work Plan Outline", health education is a planned, organized and systematic social education activity, so that people can consciously adopt behaviors and lifestyles that are beneficial to health, and eliminate or reduce the impact of health risk factors, disease prevention, health promotion, quality of life, and evaluation of educational outcomes. The core of health education is to educate people to establish health awareness, to urge people to change unhealthy behaviors and lifestyles, and to develop good behaviors and lifestyles to reduce or eliminate risk factors that affect health. Health education should start from primary school, and different depths of health education and education courses should be offered in different school stages, so that students can form a complete social person with physical health, sound personality and mental health, and they are all-round development workers. This paper analyzes the implementation of health education in universities, middle and primary schools through the method of literature, finds out its existing problems, and puts forward countermeasures and suggestions to provide a theoretical basis for improving school health education.

Analysis and Exploration on the Integration of Mental Health Education into College Physical Education Practice.

In order to understand the mental health status of contemporary college students, the research team of “College Students' psychological quality training” conducted mental health examination on nearly 6000 Chinese college students from 23 colleges and universities across the country. The results showed that about 16.51% of Chinese college graduates had serious mental health problems. The results of several recent studies on the mental health status of college graduates across the country show that the accuracy rate of mental behavior examination among college graduates across the country is about 16%, and the rate of people with unsound psychology or in a state of mental sub-health is higher, and there has been a psychological poverty group among college students. A large number of educational facts and scientific research have confirmed that sports are one of the most effective ways to promote students' physical and mental development, and it can be said that there is a very close relationship between college sports and the physical and mental health of college graduates. In order to promote the organic combination of college mental health education and college physical education, the research results will be based on in-depth investigation and understanding of the current situation of college students' psychological development under the new situation, and a systematic study of the relationship between college graduates' physical, sports, mental health knowledge, and psychological level. This paper establishes a theoretical model for the organic combination of mental health education and physical education in colleges and universities, and provides specific countermeasures for integrating psychological teaching into college physical education courses, providing a theoretical basis and reference for developing college physical education courses and improving psychological teaching.

Application of data mining technology in college mental health education

In order to improve education and teaching methods and meet the “heart” needs of college students in the era of big data, this paper analyzes the application of data mining technology in college mental health education, and introduces database technology and decision tree algorithm to support college mental health work. This process verifies the feasibility of this kind of system with the help of an example. Using the test standards outlined in this document, 1.5 previous test tasks were completed within the timeframe. During the system test, the error rate was 14% and the number of tests was 7%.However, the error rate in the development stage is 11%, which is lower than 19% of the old version. The error rate in the acceptance stage is 14%, which is lower than 5% of the old version. That is to say, most of the errors were found in time in the system analysis and design stage. 14% of the problems found in the development stage are basically small problems in the interface display, which do not need major changes. However, the old version also includes design defects found in the development stage, and only large-scale rewriting of the involved modules. In the research process, the work of mental health in Colleges and universities has been promoted. At this time, the law of psychological changes of college students has been summarized. Therefore, the support of data mining technology can better meet the needs of mental health education in Colleges and universities.

Teaching Quality of College Students’ Mental Health Based on Mathematical Programming Algorithm

During the evolution of the twenty-first century, the increase in people’s material life level has also brought an increase in mental stress. For college students, not only need to bear heavy academic pressure, but also face the market competition after entering the society. Therefore, the psychological fitness instruction for undergraduate students has become an inseparable part of college education. However, in the current stage of mental health education, the quality of teaching is often difficult to guarantee. For the purpose of promoting the in-depth implementation of mental health education in colleges and universities and improving teaching effectiveness, one needs to analyze the quality of teaching in great details and understand the factors affecting the quality of teaching. In this paper, the mathematical programming algorithm is used to analyze the quality of college students’ Psychological Wellness Instruction. It deeply studies the development status of psychological wellness training and the basic composition and algorithm principle of mathematical programming algorithm. It integrates it into the practice of teaching quality analysis on the basis of linear regression algorithm theory. The experimental results show that the highest confidence interval of teachers’ teaching organization, cognitive level, and students’ participation level in the mental health course has reached more than 80.00%. This shows the importance of these three factors to the improvement of teaching quality. In order to enhance the quality of college students’ psychological wellness training, it is necessary to innovate the form of classroom organization and the degree of interaction between students and the classroom.

An innovative safety education method for architectural faculties to promote a culture of prevention in line with a “vision zero approach”

Occupational safety and health (OHS) education in universities has an important role in developing and improving safety cultures in the workplace. Safety education is essential for improving necessary OSH skills, culture and knowledge, so do architects, urban planners, interior architects whose duties are regarded as the design, planning and execution of construction projects in high-risk sectors. As a consequence, there has been increasing recognition that safety education courses in the architecture faculties should have participative learning methods and resources. In order to increase preparedness for any potential future health crises parallel to the “Vision Zero” approach in work-related deaths, a new EU Strategic Framework was announced by the European Commission. The course described and proposed here aimed to raise awareness about OHS by teaching risks related to working environments, basic issues, basic legislation within the scope of OHS. It also aimed to cover professional liability with respect to OHS, and risks and hazards in the construction sector, as well as helping participants to analyze and evaluate the risks in workplace. This article’s primary objective is to identify an innovative safety education model of the “occupational health and safety course” with a “Vision Zero” approach.

An Analysis of COVID-19 Lock-Down Panic Buying Motivators Among Undergraduate Students

ObjectivesThe main goal of the study was to investigate decision-making patterns of undergraduate college students in circumstances that lend themselves to panic-buying (e.g., mandatory lock-down scenarios). A secondary aim of the study was to highlight possible differences in thinking between those who felt they successfully prepared for these scenarios (specifically considering barriers such as financial stability), and those who feel they did not. MethodsA cross-sectional, web-based survey was completed by 200 undergraduate students enrolled at Louisiana State University in early 2021. The 30-item survey assessed sample demographics, comfort, finances, COVID-19 diagnosis, and further, the degree to which 16 literature-driven panic-buying elements resonated with participants. ResultsThe majority-white (79.6%) sample fell into two buying mindsets. One (n = 98) is nutrient-content oriented (i.e., fresh not frozen, long shelf life, only what is available for their diet). A smaller subset (n = 65) shared nutrient concerns and further shopped to feel in control. The white students had significantly higher financial means (p = .022) and higher comfort (p < .001) than the Black students, to shop for food during COVID-19. ConclusionsWhen college students are faced with purchasing food in a pandemic, there is a large focus on nutrient content when shopping. It is important to reinforce that students know how to find healthy foods that fit their diet. To better enable students to obtain nutritious foods, college health educators should help build good shopping habits while acknowledging that not all students have the same means to acquire what is needed.

Research on identifying psychological health problems of college students by logistic regression model based on data mining

Abstract With the popularisation of education, the number of college students is increasing day by day, and there are also more students with psychological health problems. Whether students’ psychological abnormalities can be detected in time is one of the main problems faced by colleges and universities at present. Adopting digital technology to mine, collect and analyse the data generated by psychological health education in colleges can effectively solve the dynamic development of students’ psychological health problems. Therefore, in this paper, the psychological health problems of college students are identified and classified by establishing an improved logistic regression model. The behaviour characteristics are quantified and the differences are combined according to students’ relationships with their classmates, life rules and economic conditions. The test results show that the regression effect of the model is excellent, which can identify college students’ psychological health problems and improve the intervention and treatment of educators on students’ psychological problems.

Analysis of Students' Sports Exercise Behavior and Health Education Strategy Using Visual Perception-Motion Recognition Algorithm.

This study aims to explore the future development path of the college health education and health education's impact on students' sports exercise. Specifically, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm is combined with intelligent robotics technology to acquire and analyze students' sports exercise behaviors. As a result, a new development model is formulated for college health education. First, it explores students' sports exercise and health education situation in Chinese higher institutions and uncovers the underlying problems. Then it puts forward the corresponding modification suggestions. Second, the AI algorithm and the Kinect sensor-mounted intelligent robot capture the human skeleton features to obtain smooth skeleton joint points data. At the same time, a visual perception human motion recognition (HMR) algorithm is established based on the Hidden Markov Model (HMM). Afterward, the proposed HMM-based HMR algorithm is used to recognize students' sports exercise motions by analyzing human motion skeleton images. The experimental outcomes suggest that the maximum reconstruction error of the HMR algorithm is 10 mm, and the compression ratio is between 5 and 10; the HMR rate is more than 96%. Compared with similar algorithms, the proposed visual perception HMR algorithm depends less on the number of training samples. It can achieve a high recognition rate given only a relatively few samples. Therefore, the proposed (AI + intelligent robot)-enabled HMM-based HMR algorithm can effectively identify the behavior characteristics of students in sports exercise. This study can provide a reference for exploring college students' health education development path.

Research on Mental Health Education Model of College Students under the Background of Internet.

The psychological education of college students, as the most active group in cyberspace, tends to be diversified, and they will inevitably face various psychological puzzles and conflicts. In order to improve the effectiveness of mental health education in colleges and universities in the network age, colleges and universities use the network platform to build online education mode, which has achieved initial results. This paper analyzes the development status of college students' mental health education in the Internet age, studies its existing problems and challenges, explores its future development trend, expounds the advantages of developing it, and puts forward the main strategies for strengthening it. In order to meet these challenges, college teachers should improve their cognition, constantly explore and develop in practice, actively introduce modern information technology, and give full play to the role of campus culture, so that mental health education can be smoothly carried out in schools.

How to Optimize Tuberculosis Health Education in College Under the New Situation? Based on a Cross-Sectional Study Among Freshmen of a Medical College in Guangxi, China.

BackgroundChina is a country with a high burden of tuberculosis (TB), and students are the high-risk group for TB. The enrollment scale of colleges has increased dramatically due to the advancement of the enrollment expansion system of Chinese colleges. Consequently, this has brought severe challenges to TB prevention and control in colleges. In 2017, a new TB control guide for schools was issued in China, which included the 8 core knowledge of TB. The target of the overall awareness rate on TB among population was “≥85%,” which was proposed by the “13th Five-Year” National TB Control Plan in China. The cognition of the 8 core knowledge of TB in the new guide among college students is crucial to achieve this target, but few studies on this have been reported. Based on the abovementioned new situation and the new guide, this study aimed to investigate and analyze the cognition, attitudes, and health education needs on TB among freshmen of a medical college in Guangxi province, and discuss how to optimize TB health education in colleges in China.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among freshmen of a medical college in Guangxi, China. A self-designed questionnaire was used to conduct an on-site questionnaire survey. The data was entered in Epidata 4.4.2.1 and was analyzed using SPSS version 25.0. Including descriptive statistics and t-test, and the criterion for statistically significant difference was p < 0.05.ResultsA total of 583 freshmen responded to the survey questionnaires. Regarding cognition about the 5 related knowledge of TB, 551 (94.5%) freshmen knew about the predilection site of TB, while 333 (57.1%), 328 (56.4%), 257 (44.1%), and 201 (34.5%) freshmen knew about the pathogen, the policies about free treatment, the designated hospitals, and the World TB Day, respectively. Regarding cognition on the 8 core knowledge of TB, the overall awareness rate among the freshmen is 73.3%(3,420/4,664); the awareness rate of the knowledge that “guarantee adequate sleep, reasonable diet, and strengthen physical exercise can reduce the incidence of TB” among them was the highest at 88.7% (517/583); and the awareness rate of the knowledge that “coughing or sputum expectoration occurred for more than 2 weeks should be suspected of infecting TB and seeking medical treatment in time” among them was the lowest at 47.5% (277/583). Whether students received health education on TB (T = 4.267, p = 0.000) and whether students heard of TB (T = 3.739, p = 0.000) are the main factors of cognition. Five hundred sixty-two (96.4%) and 565 (96.9%) freshmen were willing to learn and tell others about the knowledge of TB, respectively. Three hundred seventy (63.5%.) freshmen, the highest amount, were willing to accept TB health education in the forms of “website, Weibo, and WeChat.”ConclusionThe cognition on the 5 related knowledge of TB among freshmen is unbalanced, and the overall awareness rate of the 8 core knowledge of TB among freshmen still needs to be improved. Freshmen who have not heard of TB and have not received TB health education before enrollment are the key intervention groups. It is recommended that institutions make full use of modern multimedia technology, continuously optimize the health education forms, implement precise policies, and strengthen the theoretical and practical health education on TB from the initial entry of freshmen into colleges.
