Objective:To explore the status quo of exercise rehabilitation attitudes and compliance in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and analyze the influencing factors, so as to provide evidence for improving the compliance of rehabilitation exercise in CABG patients.Methods:From January to August 2022, convenience sampling was used to select 228 patients with CABG in three ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Urumqi City as the survey subject. One month after surgery, a questionnaire survey was conducted using the General Information and Disease Information Questionnaire, the Questionnaire of Rehabilitation Exercises (QRE), the Chinese version of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for the Heart (TSK Heart), and the Chinese version of the Multidimensional Fatigue Symptom Inventory-Short Form (MFSI-SF-C). This study conducted a latent category analysis of rehabilitation exercise attitudes and compliance among CABG patients, and identified the influencing factors of their latent categories through Logistic regression. A total of 220 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective recovery rate of 96.49% (220/228) .Results:The fitting results of latent category analysis showed that the rehabilitation exercise attitudes and compliance of 220 CABG patients could be divided into 4 latent categories, which were respectively named as: excellent attitude-excellent compliance group, good attitude-single exercise group, moderate attitude-poor compliance group, poor attitude-poor compliance group. Logistic regression showed that education level, nationality, pain, exercise fear and fatigue were independent influencing factors for the latent categories of exercise rehabilitation attitudes and compliance in CABG patients ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Postoperative exercise rehabilitation attitudes and compliance in CABG patients have 4 latent categories, and patient education level, nationality, pain, exercise fear and fatigue are all factors that affect compliance. Medical and nursing workers should formulate targeted interventions based on influencing factors to improve the compliance of exercise rehabilitation in patients with CABG.

Objective:
To explore the association between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and adolescent alcohol use and to provide evidence for prevention and intervention.
Methods:
A total of 1 550 students from grades 6 to 8 in three public middle schools in a district of Shanghai were selected by stratified cluster sampling method. The baseline and follow up investigation were conducted by anonymous electronic questionnaire in mobile tablet from November to December in 2017 and 2018, respectively. The latent class analysis (LCA) was applied for the classification of ACEs, while the multivariate generalized estimating Equations (GEE) model was adopted to examine the association between ACEs and adolescent alcohol use.
Results:
The ACEs was divided into 3 classes by LCA: high exposure (8.97%), abuse and neglect (38.97%), low exposure (52.06%). The multivariate GEE model indicates the risk of alcohol drinking among adolescents in high exposure and abuse and neglect classes were significantly higher than their counterparts in low exposure class ( OR=2.65, 95%CI=1.72-4.07; OR=1.50, 95%CI =1.14-1.96, respectively).
Conclusion
The effect of ACEs on alcohol use may vary across different latent classes. Supportive childhood environment may contribute to decrease the risk of adolescent drinking behavior.

Objective:
To explore the relationship between gender role attitudes (GRA) and adolescent depression to provide evidence for the promotion of mental health among adolescents.
Methods:
A total of 1 549 students from grades 6 to 8 in three public middle schools in Jing an District of Shanghai were selected by stratified cluster sampling. The baseline and follow up surveys were conducted by anonymous electronic questionnaire on mobile tablets from November to December in 2017 and 2018, respectively. The GRA Scale and the Depression Scale were used to collect subjects attitudes towards traditional role assignment and power inequality between men and woman and depression in family and sexual relationships. The multivariate Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) model was adopted to examine the relationship between GRA and depression.
Results:
The mean score of the GRA Scale was (2.52±0.83) and (2.29±0.86), while the score of Depression Scale was (15.92±5.08) and (16.48±5.29), in the baseline and follow up survey, respectively ( P <0.05). After controlling the covariates of age, bullied experience, body image, social cohesion, etc., the multivariate GEE model indicated traditional GRA was significantly associated with a higher risk of depression among both boys and girls ( β boys =0.38, β girls =0.41, P <0.05).
Conclusion
Traditional GRA may increase the risk of depression in adolescents, suggesting that cultivating a positive and equal GRA among this population group may help to prevent depression.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2022;43(2):203-206
Objective:
To explore the prevalence of sexting among secondary vocational school students and to examine the correlation between sexting and mental health, so as to provide evidence for prevention and intervention on adolescents mental health.
Methods:
In April 2021, three secondary vocational schools from central urban area, outskirts and outer suburbs in Shanghai, among 1 580 students were selected by cluster sampling.
Results:
The proportions of students who received and who forwarded others private photos or videos were 11.96% and 2.78%, respectively. The proportion of students who sent others personal photos or videos was 2.54%. And the proportions of boys were higher than those of girls ( χ 2=45.89, 24.09, 6.66, P <0.01). The results of multivariable Logistic analysis showed that compared with those who had never sexted, students who had ever had any sexting were at higher risk of anxiety ( OR=2.40, 95%CI =1.59-3.61), depression( OR=1.86, 95%CI =1.25-2.75), non suicidal self injury intention ( OR=2.34, 95%CI =1.48-3.69) and suicidal intention ( OR=2.96, 95%CI =1.83-4.79)( P < 0.05 ).
Conclusion
There is a significant correlation between sexting and mental health among secondary vocational school students. The latent risks of sexting should be included in the curriculum of comprehensive sex education for teenagers to enhance their media literacy and decision making capability, so as to prevent sexual assault or abuse caused by sexting and promote sexual and reproductive health and as well as mental health of adolescents.
