    Objective To investigate the basic condition and psychological health status of children in rural areas of Xibaipo town in Hebei province, learn the psychological problems of the leftover children and their influencing factors, and provide scientific basis for the school and family education for the leftover children. Methods A questionnaire survey was performed on 446 middle and primary school students in Xibaipo town, and the self-designed questionnaire was applied to collect the basic condition, family condition and psychological health status of the children. EpiData 3.0 and SPSS 17.0 were used to perform data entry and data analyses, respectively. Results The survey displayed that the leftover children accounted for 43.5% of the total number of students. The negative emotion of leftover children was significantly ber than that of non-leftover children (χ2=12.484, Plt;0.001), especially for children with both parents living far away. The main factors affecting children’s emotion were their academic performance and whether they were left behind by their parents. Conclusion The psychological health status of the leftover children is poorer than that of non-leftover children, especially for children with both parents working outside and mothers working outside. Being left over and the academic performance are the factors affecting children’s mental condition. More attention should be paid to the physical and mental development of leftover children and vigorous efforts should be exerted to formulate corresponding policies and take countermeasures so as to promote healthy growth of children.

  • Investigation on the Quality of Life and Psychological Status among Patients after Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

    ObjectiveTo analyze the quality of life (QOL) and psychological status among patients having undergone cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). MethodsA total of 42 patients underwent CRT in our hospital during January 2011 to January 2014. All the patients were studied by MOS SF-36 scale and symptom checklist-90 (SCL-90) on overall QOL and psychological QOL, respectively. Another 42 healthy people in matched control group were also tested. ResultsThe QOL of patients after CRT was significantly lower than that of healthy subjects (P<0.05). The psychological status score, which was obtained by the examination of SCL-90, was significantly higher in patients after CRT than in the healthy population (P<0.05). The length of the disease course and leveling exercise tolerance are the influence factors for the QOL and psychological status in patients undergoing CRT. Gender does not make any difference between the two groups. ConclusionThe QOL of patients having undergone CRT is significantly lower than that of healthy people, and the psychological status score is higher. Medical staff need to pay attention to the mental illness (such as depression, anxiety and panic) of patients after CRT, especially in patients with long course of disease, and patients who fail to improve exercise tolerance or who are mateless. Psychological interventions can further improve the QOL of patients.
