Objective To investigate the effective, economic and viable long-term mechanism of Sichuan college students’ social practice. Methods A questionnaire was designed to investigate the students from North Sichuan Medical College and other 7 colleges in Sichuan province randomly. A secondary research of China students social practice status was combined and the results of Sichuan and other areas were compared. Results A total of 2 200 questionnaires were issued, of which 1 920 effective ones were taken back with the recovery rate of 87.27%. The most common forms of social practice were social investigation (47.5%), public welfare labor (42.3%), novitiate/internship (38.7%); the most interesting contents of social practice were social morality education (54.79%), credit morality education (53.07%), professional skill education (51.88%), and near 80% college students thought the contents had close relationships with their major. College students hoped that the contents could combine their job-hunting, characteristics of their major, local economy, and needs of social development. The social practice department they wanted to go most was public welfare or civil service departments (43.7%), corporations (27.8%), and government bodies (19.2%). The most difficult thing was to get connected with target department, shortage of fund, empty topics, hard-to-determine practice projects (44.1%), and lack of teachers’ guidance (43.6%). Degree of satisfaction from the students was moderate. Compared with other universities, social practice of Sichuan undergraduate students had broader coverage and was more closely related to students’ majors with more attention on the combination with moral education and employment. Conclusion Sichuan college students have higher expectations of social practice. However, the range and the time of actual participation are limited. The students are not very satisfied with status of social practice. The social practice of Sichuan college students should give prominence to the local features, be close to the students and serve the local place, strengthen the construction of practice bases, and establish effective systems of teacher training, funding, principle security mechanism and evaluation system.
Objective?To study the existent dietary hygiene behavior and attitude among college students and to provide references for further education and management. Methods?A self-designed dietary hygiene-related questionnaire based on the KAP (knowledge-attitude-practice) model was conducted in Sichuan University students, with a method of proportionate sampling classified by sex, grade, and major. Results?College students’ hygienic habits were not good enough. It indicated that only 7.8% of the students were concerned about Hygiene License and 30.7% of them held that tableware should be sterilized before using. Besides, only 21% of the students washed hands before meals, 14.9% believed that a health certificate was required for foodservice employees, more than 80% students may buy food on stalls sometimes. Conclusion?A majority of students have requirements for hygienic situations while dining, but they do not know clear specific health standards. A number of students are not used to washing hands before dining. Moreover, lack of hygienic awareness is emphasized when they are facing food with potential safety problems. It is very necessary to strengthen health education and to improve hygienic behaviors in college students.
Objective To study the earthquake emergency response capability and post-earthquake psychological state of students after the Wenchuan earthquake. And also, to investigate the level of earthquake-related knowledge so as to provide basic information for enhancing the emergency response capabilities among college students. Methods We selected 1% Sichuan University students by convenience sample method and conducted the survey in person with a self-designed questionnaire. Results were analyzed with Epidata 3.0 and SPSS13.0 software. Results We distributed 527 questionnaires and 517 (97.27%) valid questionnaires were retrieved. Most college students had a good grasp of earthquake knowledge: 65.4% to 97.7% of the responders gave the correct answers, but only 12.77% said they had ever received earthquake survival training. 15.2% suffered from fear after the earthquake, 59.4% became uneasy, and 25.4% remained calm. Gender, grade, or major were not the factors influencing the psychological state of college students after the earthquake (P= 0.246, 0.216, and 0.406, respectively). Also, earthquake survival training did not influence the psychological state of college students after the earthquake (P=0.090). Psychological intervention after the earthquake was identified as an important factor that affected the psychological state of students (P=0.002). Conclusion College students have a good grasp of the basic knowledge regarding earthquake, but relevant survival training is far from sufficient. Universities should strengthen earthquake survival training, enhance the post-earthquake emergency response capacity of students, and carry out post-disaster psychological intervention directly following an earthquake. There is no significant difference in the mental status among students of different genders, grades, or professional backgrounds.
Objective To investigate the psychological state of college students in the areas affected by the Wenchuan earthquake. Methods A total of 562 college students were selected by stratified random cluster sampling. A self-designed questionnaire as well as Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) were used for survey. Results The SDS scores (46.16±11.95) and SAS scores (34.60±6.50) of the college students were significantly higher than those of the national norms (Plt;0.001), while the SSRS scores (40.46±8.76) were lower than those of the national norms (Plt;0.001). The scores of SSRS and its three dimensions were positively correlated with the SAS scores and were negatively correlated with the SDS scores. Conclusion The college students in the areas affected by the Wenchuan earthquake suffer from anxiety and depression disorders. Good social support is one of the important measures to maintain their mental health.
Objective To explore the mental health status of college students in the Xining region. Methods A total of 1 875 college students were surveyed by the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ).Results Out of the 1 875 college students, 21.5% had at least one item scoring more than 3. Compared with the normal samples, college students scored significantly higher on SCL-90 indicating that the students had worse mental health. Significant differences were noted in the dimensions of EPQ between college students and the normal samples. The total score of SCL-90 was found to be significantly related to four factors, namely neuroticism, family economic status, school and nationality. Conclusion The mental health status of college students in Xining region is lower than that of the normal population, and factors of neuroticism, family economic status, school and nationality are related to their mental health.
Objective To investigate the use of the mental health service by college students and the main factors which influence this. Methods A stratified sampling study was conducted among 2 800 students from 5 of the top 100 colleges (as ranked by Internet). All five were located in Southwest China. The students were surveyed by the Questionnaires of Mental Health Service for College Students. Results We retrieved 2 760 (98.58%) questionnaires. Of these, 11.2% of the students (310/2 760) used the mental health service before entering college. 13.6% (376/ 2 760) used mental health service after entering college, of these, 78.5%(295/376) broke off. The mental health service was needed by 32.7% (902/ 2 760), but they did not seek it. When college students considered the mental health service, 65.8%(1 815/2 760), were concerned about the ability of the service organizations to provide professional help, 48.4% (1 336/2 760) were concerned about the service cost, 47.9% ( 1 312/2760) were concerned about the convenience of the service and 38.0% (1 049/2 760) were concerned about social cultural factors. Conclusion Currently, few college students use the mental health service. The main factors influencing the use of the mental health service by college students are the professional ability of the service organizations, the nature and severity of the student’s psychological problems, and the convenience and cost of the mental health service.
ObjectiveTo investigate the recognition of cold in pharmacy college students. MethodsInvestigation on the recognition of cold, treatment and anti-cold drugs were carried out by questionnaires among 158 pharmacy college students from March to July, 2013. ResultsThe annual cold frequency was mainly between once and twice in these students. The cold therapy cost in a year was between 10 and 50 Yuan, and the treatment cycle of cold was mainly between 3 and 7 days. The students were familiar with the inducement and symptoms of cold, but they didn't get adequate message of non-chemoprophylaxis methods on cold. The students knew anti-cold drugs mainly by pharmacist in drugstores, doctors and advertisements. Traditional Chinese Medicine decoction and Chinese and Western medicine mixture were their favorite drug types, and capsule, tablet and oral solution were their favorite dosage forms. ConclusionIt is necessary to strengthen college students' ability to recognize and treat cold correctly by comprehensive measures.
ObjectiveTo analyze the impact of disaster prevention and preparedness education courses on college students’ awareness, actions and abilities of disaster prevention and preparedness, so as to provide a reference for the establishment and optimization of disaster education-related courses in colleges.MethodsStudents who took the optional course “Disaster Preparedness Education” of Sichuan University in the fall semester of 2019 to 2020 were included. Questionnaires were issued before and after the course to compare the differences in awareness, actions and abilities of disaster prevention and preparedness of college students before and after the course. We also analyzed the differences between college students of different genders and college students of different grades.ResultsFinally, 148 college students were included. After the course, college students’ awareness scores (9.24±0.61 vs. 6.11±0.52), action scores (6.89±0.70 vs. 2.65±0.58) and ability scores (33.73±1.61 vs. 18.55±1.88) of disaster prevention and preparedness were improved compared to those before the course, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Before the course, boys’ disaster prevention and preparedness awareness score was higher than that of girls (6.48±0.56 vs. 5.23±0.44), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); there was no significant difference in the scores of actions or abilities of disaster prevention and preparedness between boys and girls (P>0.05). After the course, there was no statistically significant difference in any of the scores between boys and girls (P>0.05). Before and after the course, there was no statistically significant difference in any of the scores between the senior college students and the lower college students (P>0.05). College students’ overall satisfaction with disaster preparedness education was relatively high, with the highest scores for teaching methods and assessment methods.ConclusionDisaster preparedness education courses have a positive effect on improving the comprehensive qualities of college students’ disaster preparedness awareness, actions, and abilities, but it is necessary to attract more college students to participate and increase the scope of the course.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the detection rate of sub-health status of Chinese college students. MethodsThe CNKI, WanFang Data, CBM, VIP, PubMed, EMbase and Web of Science databases were searched to collect cross-sectional studies on the detection rate of sub-health among Chinese college students from inception to February 1, 2023. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data and evaluated the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 17.0 software. At the same time, GIS technology was used to analyze the spatial distribution of the detection rate of sub-health status of college students in China. ResultsA total of 44 articles were included, with a total sample size of 63 435 cases, including 29 255 cases of sub-health status. The results of meta-analysis showed that the detection rate of sub-health status of Chinese college students was 51.2% (95%CI 44.1 to 58.4). The temporal distribution showed a gradual decrease in the detection rate of sub-health states among college students between 2016 and 2020, with a rebound after 2020. The detection rates of sub-health states among college students in different regions and survey instruments varied significantly, with 74.1%, 61.8%, 58.4%, 56.1%, 47.0%, 42.3% and 21.6% in Southwest, Northeast, South, North, Central, East and Northwest China, respectively. The detection rates of sub-health states among college students in Jilin, Sichuan and Hebei provinces were the top 3, and Shanxi province had the lowest detection rate. ConclusionThe detection rate of university sub-health status in China is high, and the detection rate decreased significantly from 2016 to 2020, with a rebound trend in recent years, and there are differences in the detection rate of university sub-health status in different regions and survey instruments. Due to the limitation of the quality and quantity of the included studies, the above findings need to be verified by more high-quality literature.
