Objective To explore the sleep quality and its influencing factors among the patients with schizophrenia of Hui and Han populations in the rural areas in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.MethodsTotally 296 patients with schizophrenia of Hui and Han populations in the rural areas were selected from 2 counties of Wuzhong and Zhongwei in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region by using cluster random sampling method.Self-made general information questionnaire was used to collect the demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients with schizophrenia.The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI) was used to evaluate the sleep quality.Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale(BPRS),Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA) were used to measure the psychotic symptoms,depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms,respectively.ResultsIn the rural areas,the incidence of sleep disorder in the patients with schizophrenia of Hui and Han populations was 84.5%.The influencing factors of sleep disorder in the patients with schizophrenia in the rural areas were age(B=0.055,P=0.012,OR=1.057,95%CI:1.012-1.103),nationality(B=2.250,P<0.01,OR=9.485,95%CI:2.701-33.319),marital status(B=-1.506,P=0.003,OR=0.222,95%CI:0.081-0.605),course of disease(B=-0.003,P=0.089,OR=0.997,95%CI:0.993-1.001),the total score of HAMD(B=0.079,P=0.007,OR=1.083,95%CI:1.021-1.148)and the total score of HAMA(B=0.060,P=0.036,OR=1.061,95%CI:1.004-1.122).ConclusionSleep disorders are common and associated with multiple factors in patients with schizophrenia of Hui and Han populations in Ningxia rural area.In clinical practice,more attention should be paid to the identification and intervention of sleep disorders,so as to improve the sleep quality for the patients with schizophrenia.

Objective:To explore the effect of behavioral training of creative art therapy(CAT) on interpersonal communication in teenagers.Methods:Eighty teenagers were randomly divided into study group( n=40) and control group( n=40).The study group was received the behavioral training of CAT (12 times, each activity lasts for 120 min), and the control group did not take part in the behavioral training of CAT.The two groups were measured with self-esteem scale(SES), shyness scale(SS) and social anxiety scale for children(SASC) before and after behavior training.SPSS 17.0 software was used for statistical analysis, and t-test variance analysis and Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare the differences between groups or within groups. Results:Before and after behavioral training, changes in the SES total score (7.00(5.00, 9.75) vs 1.00(0, 2.00)), the SS total score (7.00(6.00, 12.75) vs 2.00(1.00, 3.00)), the SASC total score (5.00(2.00, 8.75) vs 0(0, 1.00)) and two factor scores (3.00(0.25, 5.00) vs 1.00(0, 1.00), 2.00(1.00, 4.00) vs 0(0, 1.00))in the study group were obviously higher than those in the control group( Z=-7.347, -7.338, -5.841, -4.122 and -5.393, all P<0.05).The score differences of the SASC total score ((7.19±3.82) vs (3.21±3.04)) and two factor scores ((4.00±2.23) vs (1.68±2.05), 3.00 (1.00, 5.00) vs 2.00 (0, 2.00)) of girls were significantly higher than those of boys in the study group ( t=-3.611, -3.398, Z=-2.111, P=0.001, 0.002, 0.035). Conclusion:Behavioral training of CAT can improve teenagers' self-esteem, relieve their shyness and social anxiety, as well as promote their interpersonal communication.

Objective:
To analyze the dynamic trend of caries prevalence of permanent teeth and DMFT in the 7-year-old primary school students of Han nationality from 1991 to 2014, and to provide a basis for the development of caries prevention measures for children and adolescents.
Methods:
A total of 100 652 students from the 7yearold age group of 30 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in 1991, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2014 from Physical Fitness And Health Surveillance Of Chinese School Students were selected. DMF% and DMFT were used as indicators to analyze the change trend of caries prevalence of permanent teeth and DMFT in different groups of 7-year-old primary school students of Han nationality in the past 25 years.
Results:
During the 25 years, the DMF% of primary school students in 7 years old group showed an overall U-shaped development trend. DMF% was 7.9% in 1991, lowest at 3.2% in 2005, and 5.2% in 2014. The DMFT basically showed a steady fluctuation trend. DMFT of rural girls were higher than the other three groups.
Conclusion
In view of the serious caries problem among primary school students aged 7 in China, it is necessary to continue to improve oral health strategies, strengthen the publicity of prevention and treatment of caries and oral health education, increase the input of oral health resources in rural areas, reduce the prevalence of caries and protect children’s oral health.
4.Mental health status of students with self reported learning disabilities in Beijing
Chinese Journal of School Health 2020;41(10):1547-1551
Objective:
Understanding mental health status of students with learning disabilities in Beijing to provide a basis for mental health promotion of students with learning disabilities.
Methods:
By means of random cluster sampling, 5 787 enrolled students in grade one and grade two of 11 public junior middle schools in Beijing were selected as the survey subjects. A self designed questionnaire was used to investigate the students’ learning disabilities and mental health status through anonymous self filling.
Results:
About 11.6% students self reported learning disabilities. The proportions of students with learning difficulty in mathematical reasoning and calculation were higher, 44.1% and 40.7% respectively. The reported rate of mental health problems was 38.3%. The top four of the 10 symptoms were obsessive compulsive symptoms, learning pressure, emotional instability and anxiety(2.19±0.77)(2.17±0.99)(2.09±0.90)(2.07±1.08). Compared with students without learning disabilities, students with self reported learning disabilities had poorer mental health status(OR=1.47), and learning disabilities were related to most factors of mental health. Different types of learning disabilities were associated with different mental health factors.
Conclusion
Mental health problems of students with learning disabilities are higher than that of students without learning disabilities. It is necessary to strengthen the mental health support for students with learning disabilities and improve their mental health.

Objective:To investigate the effect of art behavior intervention of yoga training on patients with insomnia comorbid depressive disorder.Methods:Totally 66 patients with insomnia comorbid depressive disorder were randomly divided into the study group( n=36) and the control group( n=30). All patients in two groups were given pharmacotherapy, while the patients in the study group were received art behavior intervention of yoga training for 20 times.Using self-made general information questionnaire to collect the patients' demographic and clinical characteristics.Polysomnography(PSG) was performed to measure objective sleep parameters.The Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI), Hamilton depression scale(HAMD) and Hamilton anxiety scale(HAMA) were used to measure subjective sleep quality, depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms at baseline and at the end of the interventions. Results:The score differences of pre-and post-intervention in the two group of PSQI total score((11.00±2.72) vs(9.00±2.22)), habitual sleep efficiency((2.02±0.81) vs (1.53±0.77)), daytime dysfunction((1.75±0.90) vs(0.96±0.85)), HAMD total score((12.19±6.25) vs(8.03±5.67)) and HAMA total score(13.00(8.25, 16.75) vs 7.00(5.00, 9.25))in the study group were obviously higher than those in the control group( t=3.220, 2.516, 3.595, 2.806, Z=-3.616, all P<0.05).
