Untangling the relationship between early adversity,placement breakdowns,and obesity in a secure adolescent developmental disorder service: A cross-sectional study

BackgroundObesity is a growing global health concern, and those with a developmental disorder are at particular risk. Elevated levels of childhood trauma, placement breakdowns and obesity have been documented in the developmental disorder population, yet their relative associations remain unclear.ObjectiveA previous study (Morris et al., 2020) highlighted a high prevalence of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and obesity in adolescents with developmental disorders residing in a secure inpatient setting. The current cross-sectional study sought to further explore the prevalence of placement breakdowns and its relationship with Body Mass Index (BMI) in this sample.MethodsSecondary analysis was conducted on existing data for 34 adolescents, aged 10–17 years at admission, held in a secure mental health hospital developmental disorder service in the United Kingdom (UK) under the Mental Health Act.ResultsAlmost half of participants had experienced a placement breakdown (47.1%), the majority of whom typically experienced multiple breakdowns (M = 3.94, SD = 2.14). Placement breakdowns significantly predicted BMI and had a predictive effect that was independent to and above that of ACEs.ConclusionsPlacement breakdowns significantly contribute to risk for obesity, above that explained by early adversity. Those who have experienced placement breakdowns have a greater risk for obesity, irrespective of their level of exposure to ACEs. A history of previous placement breakdowns may act as a red flag for obesity.

上海市预防接种工作人员疑似预防接种异常反应监测认知和报告影响因素

目的了解上海市预防接种工作人员疑似预防接种异常反应(Adverse events following immunization,AEFI)监测的知识和态度以及影响AEFI报告的因素。方法采用方便抽样在上海市所有459个预防接种门诊选择预防接种工作人员开展问卷调查,分析AEFI监测知识得分(满分6分)和态度,采用多因素Logistic回归分析AEFI报告的影响因素。结果1379名调查对象的AEFI监测知识平均得分为3.30±1.31分;认为开展AEFI监测有必要、报告AEFI是自身职责、AEFI监测是额外工作负担的调查对象分别占98.84%、92.75%、30.38%。69.62%的调查对象近1年报告过AEFI;社区接种门诊、免疫规划专职人员、近1年接受过AEFI培训、AEFI监测知识得分高的调查对象报告AEFI的比例高[OR(95%CI):19.55(14.16-26.98)、1.95(1.45-2.64)、3.14(1.76-5.59)、1.91(1.38-2.63)]。结论上海市预防接种工作人员AEFI监测知识水平不高,对AEFI监测存在一定认识误区;需加强AEFI监测培训,进一步提高其AEFI报告意识。     

Adverse Childhood Experiences and Suicidal Behaviors Among Youth: The Buffering Influence of Family Communication and School Connectedness

PurposeThe main objectives of this study were to determine (1) whether family communication and school connectedness offer protection against suicidal behaviors in the presence of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs; direct protective effect) and (2) whether family communication or school connectedness buffer the association between ACEs and suicidal behaviors (interacting protective effect) on the multiplicative and additive scales.MethodsData were obtained from a western state's 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey that included 5,341 middle school and 4,980 high school participants. Generalized linear models were used to estimate whether family communication and school connectedness offered direct protection against suicidal behaviors or buffered the association between ACEs and suicidal behaviors using adjusted prevalence ratios and corresponding 95% confidence intervals.ResultsFamily communication and school connectedness offered direct protection against suicidal behaviors in the presence of ACEs (a 1-unit higher score was associated with a 32%–42% lower prevalence of suicidal behaviors for middle school youth and a 27%–39% lower prevalence of suicidal behaviors for high school youth). There was evidence that family communication and school connectedness buffered the association between ACEs and suicidal behaviors on the multiplicative scale.ConclusionsThe findings provide support for the development and implementation of interventions that build family communication and school connectedness to reduce suicidal behaviors. Furthermore, screening for trauma and suicidal behaviors is warranted.     

强化护理在儿童急性白血病鞘内注射中的应用效果

目的探讨强化护理在儿童急性白血病鞘内注射治疗中的应用效果。方法选取2019年5月至2020年6月于中国科学技术大学附属第一医院西区行鞘内注射治疗的90例急性白血病患儿作为研究对象,按照入院时间将其分为A组(45例)与B组(45例)。A组采用常规护理方法,B组采用强化护理方法。比较两组的不良反应发生情况、家长满意度、护理质量。结果B组不良反应发生率低于A组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);B组家长总满意度高于A组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);B组护理质量高于A组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论采用强化护理模式可缓解患儿鞘内注射治疗不良反应,减轻患儿痛苦,促进治疗顺利完成,提高家长满意度,改善护理质量,应用效果较好。

基于预防接种异常反应补偿的山东省卡介苗淋巴结炎经济负担测算

目的了解山东省卡介苗(BCG)淋巴结炎经济负担情况。方法以2011年5月至2019年12月山东省304例申请省级补偿的BCG淋巴结炎病例为对象,收集患者基本情况、预防接种相关情况、门诊(住院)病历和收费票据等相关资料,对其直接经济负担(包括直接医疗费用和直接非医疗费用)、间接经济负担和总经济负担进行测算,比较不同特征病例经济负担的差异。结果304例BCG淋巴结炎患者月龄的M(Q1,Q3)为3(2,4)月,其中男性239例(78.6%),淋巴结破溃71例(23.4%),手术227例(74.7%)。单纯门诊、单纯住院和门诊后住院病例分别占25.7%(78例)、7.2%(22例)和67.1%(204例)。贴现后单例直接、间接和总经济负担的M(Q1,Q3)分别为9910(5713,16074)、2081(1547,3122)和12262(7694,18571)元。直接医疗费用占直接经济负担的89.4%,直接经济负担占总经济负担的84.9%,80.0%病例的总经济负担仅占其补偿金额的20.0%左右,只有2.3%的病例总经济负担占补偿金额的60.0%以上。单纯住院和门诊后住院病例的直接、间接和总经济负担高于单纯门诊病例,手术病例的直接、间接和总经济负担高于非手术病例,淋巴结未破溃病例的直接和总经济负担高于破溃病例(均P<0.05)。结论山东省BCG淋巴结炎病例经济负担受诊疗方式的影响,且以直接医疗费用为主。     

Personal protective equipment related skin reactions in healthcare professionals during COVID‐19

Since the outbreak of COVID‐19 pandemic, clinicians have had to use personal protective equipment (PPE) for prolonged periods. This has been associated with detrimental effects, especially in relation to the skin health. The present study describes a comprehensive survey of healthcare workers (HCWs) to describe their experiences using PPE in managing COVID‐19 patients, with a particular focus on adverse skin reactions. A 24‐hour prevalence study and multi‐centre prospective survey were designed to capture the impact of PPE on skin health of hospital staff. Questionnaires incorporated demographics of participants, PPE type, usage time, and removal frequency. Participants reported the nature and location of any corresponding adverse skin reactions. The prevalence study included all staff in intensive care from a single centre, while the prospective study used a convenience sample of staff from three acute care providers in the United Kingdom. A total of 108 staff were recruited into the prevalence study, while 307 HCWs from a variety of professional backgrounds and demographics participated in the prospective study. Various skin adverse reactions were reported for the prevalence study, with the bridge of the nose (69%) and ears (30%) being the most affected. Of the six adverse skin reactions recorded for the prospective study, the most common were redness blanching (33%), itchiness (22%), and pressure damage (12%). These occurred predominantly at the bridge of the nose and the ears. There were significant associations (P < .05) between the adverse skin reactions with both the average daily time of PPE usage and the frequency of PPE relief. The comprehensive study revealed that the use of PPE leads to an array of skin reactions at various facial locations of HCWs. Improvements in guidelines are required for PPE usage to protect skin health. In addition, modifications to PPE designs are required to accommodate a range of face shapes and appropriate materials to improve device safety.
