Musculoskeletal injury survivors’ resiliency: A systematic review

BackgroundMusculoskeletal traumas are on the rise in the United States; however, limited studies are available to help trauma providers assess and treat concerns beyond the physical impact. Little is understood about the psychological, social, and spiritual factors that protect patients from adverse effects after a physical trauma or their experiences with each factor afterward.ObjectiveThis systematic review was conducted to investigate and review advancements in research related to risk and resiliency factors experienced by survivors of traumatic musculoskeletal injuries. The use of biopsychosocial-spiritual (BPS–S) framework and resiliency theory guided the analysis.MethodsResearchers reviewed 1003 articles, but only seven met the search criteria. Due to the complexity and uniqueness of traumatic brain injuries, studies on that target population were excluded.ResultsOf the seven articles reviewed, three identified psychological protective factors that protect against negative health outcomes; three identified negative psychological, social, or spiritual outcomes; and none investigated social or spiritual health.ConclusionsThere are significant gaps in the literature surrounding risk and resiliency factors related to the BPS-S health of musculoskeletal injury survivors.     

Improving health care for disabled people in COVID-19 and beyond: Lessons from Australia and England

COVID-19 has exacerbated pre-existing difficulties children and adults with disability face accessing quality health care. Some people with disability are at greater risk of contracting COVID-19 because they require support for personal care and are unable to physically distance, e.g. those living in congregate settings. Additionally, some people with disability have health conditions that put them at higher risk of poor outcomes if they become infected. Despite this, governments have been slow to recognise, and respond to, the unique and diverse health care needs of people with disability during COVID-19. While some countries, including Australia, have improved access to high-quality health care for people with disability others, like England, have failed to support their citizens with disability. In this Commentary we describe the health care responses of England and Australia and make recommendations for rapidly improving health care for people with disability in the pandemic and beyond.     

Associations of social capital with binge drinking in a national sample of adults: The importance of neighborhoods and networks

BackgroundWhile considerable research on adult binge drinking has focused on social influences, the potential role of social capital has been largely overlooked. This study examines the role of social capital, assessed in terms of both neighborhood and social network characteristics, in understanding adult binge drinking.MethodsAdults ages 30–80 were randomly drawn from the RAND American Life Panel and completed an online survey (analytic sample n = 1383). The main predictor variables were neighborhood cohesion, neighborhood order, and social network density. Associations of social capital with past month binge drinking (any, number of days) were examined, controlling for demographic characteristics.ResultsZero-inflated negative binominal regression analysis indicated that any binge drinking was more likely among adults who lived in highly ordered neighborhoods and who had denser social networks but was negatively associated with neighborhood cohesion. However, binge drinking was more frequent among those who lived in neighborhoods lacking order and who had sparser social networks, but had no association with neighborhood cohesion. Age was not found to moderate associations of social capital with binge drinking.ConclusionsGiven that the associations of social capital with adult binge drinking behavior appear to differ by level of influence and type of drinking behavior, there is a need to gain a more nuanced understanding of these complex associations, including the mechanisms through which they operate.     

Association of Social Behaviors With Community Discharge in Patients with Total Hip and Knee Replacement

ObjectivesUnderstand the association between social determinants of health and community discharge after elective total joint arthroplasty.DesignRetrospective cohort design using Optum de-identified electronic health record dataset.Setting and ParticipantsA total of 38 hospital networks and 18 non-network hospitals in the United States; 79,725 patients with total hip arthroplasty and 136,070 patients with total knee arthroplasty between 2011 and 2018.MethodsLogistic regression models were used to examine the association among pain, weight status, smoking status, alcohol use, substance disorder, and postsurgical community discharge, adjusted for patient demographics.ResultsMean ages for patients with hip and knee arthroplasty were 64.5 (SD 11.3) and 65.9 (SD 9.6) years; most patients were women (53.6%, 60.2%), respectively. The unadjusted community discharge rate was 82.8% after hip and 81.1% after knee arthroplasty. After adjusting for demographics, clinical factors, and behavioral factors, we found obesity [hip: odds ratio (OR) 0.81, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.76–0.85; knee: OR 0.73, 95% CI 0.69–0.77], current smoking (hip: OR 0.82, 95% CI 0.77–0.88; knee: OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.85–0.95), and history of substance use disorder (hip: OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.50–0.60; knee: OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.53–0.62) were associated with lower odds of community discharge after hip and knee arthroplasty, respectively.Conclusions and ImplicationsSocial determinants of health are associated with odds of community discharge after total hip and knee joint arthroplasty. Our findings demonstrate the value of using electronic health record data to analyze more granular patient factors associated with patient discharge location after total joint arthroplasty. Although bundled payment is increasing community discharge rates, post-acute care facilities must be prepared to manage more complex patients because odds of community discharge are diminished in those who are obese, smoking, or have a history of substance use disorder.     

健康管理背景下慢性病社会问题

我国社会进程的急速变迁使得居民的疾病模式以及健康行为均发生了较大的转变,各种疾病的危险因素不断增加导致慢性病发病率不断上升,同时也使得慢性病危险度有所增加,目前我国慢性病发病出现了逐渐年轻化趋势,疾病对患者的危害也在不断加剧,不仅影响患者的生理、心理健康,还会导致其生活质量下降,同时还可能加重患者的家庭负担和社会负担,因此开展慢性病相关研究具有十分重要的现实意义和理论意义。该文以健康管理为背景,对慢性病健康管理构建中的社会问题和文化意义进行了梳理,以明确健康管理在社会经济发展以及人生进程中的作用和意义,以加强民众对慢性病防治的了解,提升慢性病管理质量,改善慢性病患者的病情和生活质量,同时也为慢性病防治提供新种学术依据。

社科领域期刊作者贡献声明政策的调研与建议

【目的】 对国内外社科领域期刊作者贡献声明(Author Contribution Statement,ACS)政策进行调研,为国内社科领域期刊编辑部制定和完善ACS政策提供借鉴和参考。【方法】 调研国内外社科领域期刊网站上发布的ACS政策,调查内容包括:是否有ACS强制性要求及理由;提交ACS的时间与方式;ACS呈现形式;写作格式;ACS要素术语等。【结果】 在国外的17个社科领域内,都有期刊制定并实施了ACS,而ACS在我国社科期刊中没有得到普及。782种CSSCI收录的社科期刊中只有18种期刊有ACS政策,占比仅2.3%,涉及的领域包括中国文学、考古学、新闻学与传播学和图书馆、情报与文献学。国外期刊采用自由文本和采用CRediT受控词汇的期刊约各占一半。国内社科期刊都是采用自由文本表述形式,没有采用CRediT受控词汇表述方法。国内期刊ACS政策存在ACS表述较为简单、没有规定提交时间与方式、呈现形式不统一、写作格式不统一等问题,可从建立分层ACS政策、鼓励作者提交ACS,采用CRediT贡献分类法为基础规范表达ACS,与ORCID建立关联3个方面进行补充完善。【结论】 我国社科期刊很少制定实施ACS政策。建议社科期刊编辑部采用分层政策来推广实施ACS,采用规范的作者贡献要素术语,提高作者贡献的透明性和可获取性。     

Coping With Stress Through Texting: An Experimental Study

PurposeTexting is used by many adolescents and has the potential to improve well-being, as youth can reach out for support immediately after experiencing a stressful situation. Many studies have examined whether texting is associated with well-being, but few have used experimental designs, preventing causal claims.MethodsIn this experimental study, 130 adolescents (M_age = 12.41) participated with a same-gender friend whom they texted regularly. Both adolescents completed a task that elicited stress and then engaged in one of the following randomly assigned activities: texting their friend, watching a video on a cellphone (passive-phone condition), or sitting quietly (no activity condition). Participants reported their mood and stress levels after the stress task and again after the activity. Heart rate variability was measured throughout.ResultsParticipants who texted their friend reported higher moods (b = ?.80, standard error [SE] = .24, p < .001, η_p² = .09) and lower stress at the end of the study than those in the no activity condition (b = .51, SE = .25, p = .046, η_p² = .04) and higher moods than adolescents in the passive-phone condition (b = ?.74, SE = .25, p = .004, η_p² = .08). No differences were noted between the passive-phone and no activity conditions. There were no differences in heart rate variability between the three conditions. The effects of texting on mood, self-reported stress, and heart rate variability did not differ by gender.ConclusionsBoth boys and girls may benefit from texting a friend after experiencing a stressful event.
