农村老年人心理健康状况的调查分析

随着经济的发展和社会的进步 ,人口老龄化已经成为当今世界人口发展的一种必然趋势。因此 ,老龄问题日益受到关注。研究老年人的心理健康状况及其影响因素对如何提高老年人的生活质量具有重要的指导意义。国内已有一些学者对老年人的心理健康状况进行了研究[1- 7] ,但研究的对象主要是城市老年人 ,关于农村老年人的心理健康状况的研究极少。因此 ,本文想就这一问题作些探讨。1　对象与方法1.1　对象在湖州市所辖三县三区各抽取 9个行政村 ,每个行政村随机抽取 13～ 14个年龄在 6 0岁以上 (包括 6 0岁 )的老年农民进行调查 ,其中有 16人资料…     

Why did persons invited to train in cardiopulmonary resuscitation not do so?

All citizens (N = 22066) aged 16 to 65 of a medium-sized Belgiantown were personally invited to CPR training sessions held intheir neighbourhood. 1152 responded by attending a trainingsession. Those who did not so respond were surveyed (randomsample N=600) for reasons of their not coming. The sample fittedwell with census data for gender, age and suburb location butnot for job, because retired persons and women at home wereover represented. 123 persons did not want to answer the questions. 116 personssaid they were already trained in CPR, 276 said they would accepton a future occasion and 82 said they would not. Three personsdid not answer this question. There was no discrimination for job, gender and suburb locationbetween those who did and did not accept a future training opportunity,nor was the existence of a heart patient among relatives. Theolder the person, the less inclined was that person to participatein CPR training (age effect x² = 17.17, d.f. = 9, P<0.05).The 276 who accepted future training, chose their workplace(221) and/or their social meeting place (club etc.) as the placewhere this future training should be held. We suggest that CPR training is well accepted and that the trainingopportunities should be given at places of work and social gatherings.

Scanning and synthesizing Canadian policies that address the school-to-work transition of youth and young adults with disabilities

BackgroundDisability faced by a young person can impact the school-to-work transition and shape health and well-being over the life course. Unique barriers to entry and advancement within the labor market that are relevant to young people with disabilities underscore the need for tailored policy-level supports.ObjectivesTo examine and describe policies that support the school-to-work transition of young people with disabilities in Canada.MethodsA scan of policies which focused on the school-to-work transition of young people with disabilities across Canada was conducted between June 2019 and January 2020. Searches were completed within federal, provincial and territorial policy portals. Each policy relating to employment participation of people with disabilities was summarized. Policies that focused on the school-to-work-specific were synthesized using Bemelmans-Vidic, Rist and Vedung's policy tool framework.ResultsA total of 36 policies were identified by our scan that focused on the employment of people with disabilities. Only five policies explicitly addressed the school-to-work transition. All existing policies were implemented at the provincial level and aimed to promote entry into employment. The synthesis of policies revealed that financial policy tools were primarily used to incentivize employment, provision of workplace accommodations, or the development and implementation of job readiness programs.ConclusionOur analysis of federal, provincial and territorial policies in Canada uncovered a limited number of policies that specifically support the school-to-work transition. Addressing these policy gaps can increase the inclusion of young people with disabilities in the labor market.     

“In the Bible Belt:” The role of religion in HIV care and prevention for transgender people in the United States South

Within the United States South, the socio-religious norms that shape life for many residents may have public health implications. Drawing from 12 key informant interviews, this study explores the role of religious institutions in HIV care and prevention access among transgender people of color in Southern cities. Findings suggest that while religious anti-transgender stigma is pervasive, the regional importance of faith-based beliefs and institutions necessitates targeted faith-based initiatives for the population. Broadly, findings suggest regional environments may demand interventions that negotiate historically marginalizing relationships between at-risk groups and dominant cultural institutions.     

Trajectories of Violent and Nonviolent Behaviors From Adolescence to Early Adulthood: Does Early Puberty Matter,and, If So,How Long?

PurposeIt is well known that pubertal timing affects adolescents' externalizing behaviors, but it is unknown if this effect lasts into adulthood. This study assessed if and when the early maturation effect wanes, specifically in two domains of externalizing behaviors: nonviolent and violent behaviors.MethodsUsing data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) that include age-appropriate items of violent and nonviolent behaviors assessed from ages 11–30 over four waves (N = 4,255), we conducted a series of longitudinal growth curve analyses to evaluate the effect of pubertal timing on the trajectories of nonviolent and violent externalizing behaviors for males and females.ResultsCompared to later maturing male peers, early maturing males reported significantly elevated overall externalizing, nonviolent, and violent behaviors throughout adolescence, but became indistinguishable from on-time and late-maturing counterparts in young adulthood. Similarly, early maturing females showed higher levels of overall externalizing and nonviolent behaviors than later maturing counterparts, but no effect of pubertal timing was seen on the trajectories of violent behaviors. However, early maturing females' overall externalizing and nonviolent behaviors also became indistinguishable from on-time and late-maturing females after adolescence.ConclusionsThese findings clarify the differential effect of early maturation on nonviolent and violent behaviors, especially in females, and highlight the short-lived nature of the effects of early pubertal timing.     

Determinants and Consequences of Adolescent Fatherhood: A Longitudinal Study in Ethiopia,India, Peru,and Vietnam

PurposeAdolescent parenthood is a major challenge in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, the vast majority of the evidence has focused on adolescent motherhood. Little is known about adolescent fatherhood in LMICs. The aim of this study was to examine the determinants of early fatherhood and its consequences on a range of outcomes among adolescent males.MethodsThis study used three waves of longitudinal data from the multicountry Young Lives cohort study, specifically following a sample of 1,779 adolescent boys at ages 15, 19, and 22 years in Ethiopia, India, Peru, and Vietnam. Individual fixed effects models were conducted to investigate the sociodemographic determinants of adolescent fatherhood and the consequences of adolescent fatherhood on males' education, health, psychosocial well-being, and time use outcomes.ResultsThe results indicated that lower educational attainment, absence of the adolescent's mother and father from the home, larger household size, and poverty increased the likelihood of becoming an adolescent father by age 22 years. The results revealed that becoming an adolescent father was associated with a higher likelihood of school dropout, being overweight, smoking, greater internalizing problems, and less time spent on leisure activities and more time spent on caregiving responsibilities.ConclusionsHighlighting the experiences of young men as adolescent parents in LMICs, findings underscore the importance of prevention strategies to delay early parenthood for adolescent boys and multicomponent interventions to support young fathers and their unique health, socioeconomic, psychosocial, and behavioral needs.     

Factors Contributing to Delay in Driving Licensure Among U.S. High School Students and Young Adults

PurposeMore teens delay in driving licensure (DDL). It is conceivable they miss Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) safety benefits. We assessed prevalence, disparities, and factors associated with DDL among emerging adults.MethodsData used were from all seven waves (W1–7) of the NEXT Generation Health Study (W1 in 10th grade [2009–2010]). The outcome variable was DDL (long-DDL [delayed >2 years], intermediate-DDL [delayed 1–2 years] versus no-DDL), defined as participants receiving driver licensure ≥1 year after initial eligibility. Independent variables included sex, urbanicity, race/ethnicity, family structure, parental education, family affluence, parental monitoring knowledge, parent perceived importance of alcohol nonuse, and social media use. Logistic regressions were conducted.ResultsOf 2,525 participants eligible for licensure, 887 (38.9%) reported intermediate-DDL and 1,078 (30.1%) long-DDL. Latinos (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.5 vs. whites) and those with lower affluence (AOR = 2.5 vs. high) had higher odds of intermediate-DDL. Latinos (AOR = 4.5 vs. whites), blacks (AOR = 2.3 vs. whites), those with single parent (AOR = 1.7 vs. both biological parents), whose parents’ education was high school or less (AOR = 3.7 vs. bachelor+) and some college (AOR = 2.0 vs. bachelor+) levels, and those with lower affluence (AOR = 4.4 vs. high) had higher odds of long-DDL. Higher mother’s monitoring knowledge (AOR = .6) was associated with lower odds of long-DDL, but not intermediate-DDL.ConclusionsSome teens that DDL “age out” of protections afforded to them by GDL driver restrictions. Minority race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, urbanicity, and parenting factors contribute to DDL. Further study of these factors and their individual/collective contributions to DDL is needed to understand potential unintended consequences of GDL, particularly in more vulnerable youth.
