Objective To investigate the effect of psychological abuse in childhood on the personality of undergraduates with depression as well as its possible mechanism, and thus provide scientific evidence for the intervention of depression in undergraduates. Methods Particinants were 733 undergraduates from a university in Henan Province. They were surveyed with Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression scale (CES-D), childhood experience of care and abuse questionnaire (CECA. Q) and Eysenck personality theory (EPQ). Results the correlation between maternal antipathy and introversion-extroversion of personality;psychological abuse in childhood had apparently positive correlation with the depression in undergraduates (r = 0. 257, r = 0. 304, r =0. 243, P< 0. 01) and that of childhood maternal neglect to psychoticism (β = 0.206, P< 0.01) were positive and significant. The standard regression coefficients of paternal neglect to introversion-extroversion (β= -0. 143, P<0. 01)were negative and significant . The scores of childhood paternal antipathy and maternal antipathy explained that childhood paternal antipathy had indirect effect via adulthood neuroticism on the depression in undergraduates,furthermore, the indirect effect demonstrated 59.8% of the total effect. Conclusion This study suggests that the personality of undergraduates with depression is affected directly by psychological abuse in childhood, and adulthood personality may mediate the relation between childhood psychological abuse and adulthood depression.

Objective:To explore the latent categories of child security and analyze domain-specific roles of child neglect on security among children aged 10-13 years.Methods:From October to December 2019, the security questionnaire (SQ), child neglect scale (CNS) and Buss-Perry aggression questionnaire (BPAQ) were used to investigate 577 children aged 10-13 years. Mplus 7.0 software was used for latent profile analysis (LPA) to explore the latent categories of child security. SPSS 22.0 software was used for multinomial Logistic regression to examine the effects of different domains of child neglect on the child security categories.Results:(1) Child security was divided into three categories named "medium-slightly low-security subgroup (48.9%)" , "high-security subgroup (31.8%)" , and "inability control subgroup (19.3%)" (entropy = 0.90, Lo-Mendell-Rubin likelihood, and Bootstrapped likelihood ratio test, all P<0.01). (2) Child security(35.06±6.08, 51.49±4.99, 69.67±6.13, F=1 378.09, P<0.01), neglect(71.09±20.58, 59.96±12.90, 50.76±9.27, F=74.50, P<0.01), and aggression(54.31±15.23, 46.44±12.46, 34.19±12.61, F=90.95, P<0.01) were significantly different among the "medium-slightly low-security subgroup" , "high-security subgroup" , and "inability control subgroup" . (3)Compared with "high-security subgroup" , the proportion of children with poor parental relationship and low paternal education level were higher in the other two subgroups(all P<0.05), while the proportion of children in the fifth grade were lower(all P<0.05). (4)In " inability control subgroup" , safe neglect had no impact on security( B=0.01, OR=1.02, 95% CI=0.91-1.13, P>0.05), while physical neglect ( B=0.13, OR=1.14, 95% CI=1.01-1.28), affection neglect( B=0.14, OR=1.15, 95% CI=1.07-1.23), and communication neglect( B=0.15, OR=1.16, 95% CI=1.03-1.30) predicted the "inability control subgroup" (all P<0.05). Only communication neglect predicted the "medium-slightly low-security subgroup" ( B=0.16, OR=1.17, 95% CI=1.07-1.28, P<0.01). Conclusion:Security is heterogenous with three latent categories among Children aged 10-13 years. Child neglect plays domain-specific roles in different child security categories.

Objective:
To evaluate the current status of the primary and secondary schools’ teaching environment in China and associated factors,and to provide the support for making differentiated interventional stategies.
Methods:
Data regarding to information of the primary and secondary schools was obtained by random inspection from the National Health and Family Planning Commission in 2018. Chi-square test was used to compare differences of qualified rates between groups. Spearman correlation analyses was applied to examine the correlations among population density, per capita GDP and qualified rates.
Results:
Among the total of 37 531 schools, the overall qualified rate of teaching environmental sanitation of primary and secondary schools in 2018 was 59.1%. The qualifying rate in urban areas (60.3%) was higher than that of rural areas (59.4%) and towns (56.7%). Primary schools (59.8%) had higher qualifying rates than junior high schools (58.2%) and senior high schools (51.8%). In terms of each evaluation item, the qualifying rates of school furniture equipment including desks and chairs were the lowest, while the qualifying rates of dormitory ventilation ranked highest. Large variations among provinces were observed for the qualifying rates for school furniture equipment, as well as blackboard illumination. Those provinces with higher per capita GDP and higher population density had higher the qualifying rates for school furniture equipment.
Conclusion
The overall qualifying rate of Chinese primary and secondary schools’ teaching environment is low. Among all the evaluation measures, qualifying rates of dormitory ventilation are relatively good, while school furniture equipment needs to be improved. Notably, strengthened and targeted management should be applied to improve schools’ teaching environment in new era.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between psychological resilience and stigma, self-efficacy and self-esteem in patients with constipation after lower limb fracture surgery, and to determine nursing counter measures.Methods:A total of 102 patients who underwent lower limb fracture surgery in Jingdezhen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from April 2020 to March 2023 were convenience sampling selected as the study objects by a cross-sectional survey. They were divided into constipation group and normal group according to whether postoperative constipation was complicated. Baseline data, Psychological Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Social Impact Scale (SIS), General Self-efficacy Scale (GSES), and Pearson ′s method was used to analyze the correlation between CD-RISC score and SIS score, GSES score, and RSES score in patients with constipation. Results:Totally 102 survey subjects aged 18-75 (38.87 ± 6.83), including 57 males and 45 females. Postoperative constipation occurred in 37 patients, accounting for 36.27% (37/102). The average age, constipation secret history rate, postoperative analgesic use rate, CD-RIS, SIS, GSES and RSES scores of the constipation group were (50.74 ± 5.52) years, 72.97% (27/37), 62.16% (23/37), (42.11 ± 5.03) points, (59.78 ± 6.40) points, (22.74 ± 3.57) points, (20.15 ± 2.32) points, respectively. The normal group was (37.81 ± 7.45) years old, 40.00% (26/65), 41.54% (27/65), (78.43 ± 5.95) points, (36.10 ± 4.03) points, (28.26 ± 3.53) points, (27.05 ± 5.29) points, respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t values were 7.52-31.29, χ2 values were 10.27 and 4.01, all P<0.05). In the constipation group, CD-RISC score was negatively correlated with SIS score, and positively correlated with GSES score and RSES score ( r values were -0.869, 0.608, 0.582, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The incidence of constipation after lower limb fracture is high, and its psychological resilience is related to stigma, self-efficacy and self-esteem. Clinical nursing intervention is needed to improve the prognosis of patients.

Objective:To explore the association of gait speed and cognitive function of the community-dwelling elderly.Methods:From March to December 2021, a total of 1 172 Xinxiang community-dwelling elderly people were investigated by general information questionnaire, mini-mental state examination(MMSE), patient health questionnaire depression scale and 4.6 m gait test. The elderly were divided into five groups based on the quintile grouping of gait speed values, with Q1 group (≤0.76 m/s), Q2 group (0.77-0.88 m/s), Q3 group (0.89-0.98 m/s), Q4 group (0.99-1.11 m/s) and Q5 group (≥1.12 m/s). SPSS 25.0 statistical software was used for descriptive statistics, and binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the influence of gait speed and depression on cognitive impairment of the elderly.Results:The gait speed of community-dwelling elderly people was (0.92±0.22) m/s. The scores of MMSE in Q1-Q5 groups were (24.72±3.67), (26.63±2.90), (26.58±2.66), (27.01±2.45) and (27.18±2.35), respectively, and the cognitive function was significantly different among the five gait speed groups( F=27.92, P<0.05). The results of binary Logistics regression showed that compared with Q1 group, the OR value (95% CI) of cognitive impairment in Q2-Q5 group were 0.475 (0.253-0.893), 0.426 (0.219-0.828), 0.421(0.212-0.826) and 0.371(0.179-0.766), respectively, which indicated that fast walking speed was a protective factor for cognitive function. Old age ( OR=1.096, 95% CI=1.053-1.140) and depression ( OR=14.441, 95% CI=12.670-19.829) were risk factors of cognitive impairment. Conclusion:The gait speed is associated with cognitive function among community-dwelling elderly people, and faster gait speed is a protective factor for cognitive function.
