Abstract:
Dissipative structure refers to a self-organized and orderly structure that exists far from equilibrium.The human body,considered a classical example,generates negative entropy through the exchange of matter,energy,and information with the environment to counteract the increase in entropy.In this paper,we organized theories and related research on dissipative structure and entropy,discussing their significance in regulating various aspects such as the human body,cancer,aging,and more.By selecting the special population of pregnant women,focusing on the information dimension,developing the corresponding information exchange scale(Cronbach's α>0.9),and proposing the information exchange index,we preliminarily explored the influence of the dissipative structure's information dimension on pregnancy health.The results showed a negative correlation between the information exchange index and anxiety scores during pregnancy(r =-0.35,P<0.001),with an OR value of 0.26(95%CI:0.08～0.80),preliminarily confirming the feasibility of conducting empirical research based on dissipative structure theory.If further relevant empirical studies are conducted,it is expected that new disease prevention strategies will be developed and new theories and methods will be provided for the field of public health.
