Objective:
To investigate electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use and its influencing factors among junior high school students of health promotion schools in Xihu District, Hangzhou City, so as to provide insights into school-based tobacco control.
Methods:
Grade 1 to 3 junior high school students of health promotion schools in Xihu District were recruited using a multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method from September to December, 2021. The participants' demographic features, e-cigarette use and exposure to tobacco advertising were collected using the Chinese version of the Global Youth Tobacco Survey, and the factors affecting the intention to use e-cigarettes were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
The 1 677 respondents included 875 boys (52.18%) and 802 girls (47.82%), and grade 1 to 3 junior high school students consisted of 33.93%, 35.00% and 31.07% of all respondents, respectively. There were 1 461 students that had heard of e-cigarettes (87.12%), 101 students with intention to use e-cigarettes (6.02%), and 24 current users (1.43%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified living in rural areas (OR=2.364, 95%CI: 1.442-3.875), having close friends that were smokers (OR=5.614, 95%CI: 3.404-9.258), having seen smoking via TV, video or movie in the past 30 days (OR=2.106, 95%CI: 1.259-3.523), having received free tobacco products (OR=3.887, 95%CI: 1.172-12.894), considering e-cigarettes as nicotine-free (OR=208.442, 95%CI: 55.713-779.856), and considering smoking making comfortable at party (OR=4.534, 95%CI: 1.853-11.090) as factors affecting intention to use e-cigarettes. There were 38.04% (638/1 677) of junior high school students with exposure to advertisements for e-cigarettes and related products, and stores, supermarkets, convenience stores, grocery, e-cigarette experience stores or offline retail stores were the primary places to contact e-cigarettes and related products.
Conclusions
The percentage of intention to use e-cigarettes was low among junior high school students of health promotion schools in Xihu District in 2021, and their intention to use e-cigarettes was mainly affected by close friends' smoking status and personal recognition.

Objective:To explore the application value of scenario simulation teaching combined with two-way evaluation in standardized training of pediatric nursing.Methods:A total of 34 trainees who received standardized training of pediatric nursing in The First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from March 2018 to March 2019 were selected as the control group, and another 42 trainees from April 2019 to July 2020 were selected as the study group. The control group used traditional teaching, and the study group used scenario simulation teaching combined with two-way evaluation. Theoretical examination and scenario simulation exercise examination were used to assess the theoretical knowledge and clinical practice ability of the trainees, and questionnaire survey was used to evaluate the satisfaction of the trainees with the teaching effect. SPSS 22.0 was used for t-test. Results:The scores of theoretical examination[(95.12±6.24) vs. (91.05±5.12)] and scenario simulation exercise examination (nursing practice skill operation ability, ability to combine theory and practice, clinical thinking and judgment ability, emergency handling ability, communication ability, humanistic care and professional learning ability, and work attitude) of the trainees in the study group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The satisfaction evaluation of the trainees in the study group with the teaching effect was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). Conclusion:Scenario simulation teaching combined with two-way evaluation can improve the theoretical knowledge, clinical practice ability, and teaching satisfaction of pediatric nursing trainees.
