Objective :
To investigate the behavior problems and influencing factors of school-age students from the third to the sixth grade in Zhongshan,and to provide evidence for early intervention of behavior problems in children.
Methods :
According to the proportion of population in urban area and township in Zhongshan,students of Grade Three to Six from eight primary schools(three in urban area and five in township)were recruited by stratified sampling method. The behavior problems in children were assessed by the Conners Parent Symptom Questionnaire(PSQ). Sociodemographic information,family discipline and so on was investigated by a general questionnaire. The influencing factors for behavior problems were analyzed by a logistic regression model.
Results :
A total of 2 292 questionnaires were issued,and 2 236 valid questionnaires were recycled,with an effective rate of 97.56%. The positive rate of behavioral problems was 11.72%. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors for behavior problems were females(OR=1.594,95%CI:1.170-2.171),birth asphyxia(OR=2.372,95%CI:1.320-4.261),main family discipline(laissez-faire:OR=3.326,95%CI:1.450-7.630;doting:OR=3.244,95%CI:1.867-5.638;autocratic:OR=2.609,95%CI:1.584-4.296,mixed:OR=2.313,95%CI:1.669- 3.207),less than four hours per week for father-child communication(OR=1.551,95%CI:1.052-2.286),negative life events(OR=2.188,95%CI:1.448-3.308),living in township(OR=2.031,95%CI:1.330-3.102),academic performance (average:OR=2.786,95%CI:1.868-4.156;poor:OR=6.665,95%CI:3.236-13.727;very poor:OR=25.068,95%CI:5.786-108.617);the protective factors were occupation of mother as civil servants or professional personnel(OR=0.449,95%CI:0.238-0.844)and higher grades(Grade Five:OR=0.496,95%CI:0.339-0.727;Grade Six:OR=0.468,95%CI:0.309-0.710).

Asian Nursing Research 2020;14(3):137-143
Purpose:
Elder self-neglect is a global public health issue and should be taken seriously at large. Nurses,usually working directly with elderly patients, have a better understanding of what factors may causeelder self-neglect. In this qualitative study, we explored the influencing factors of elder self-neglect fromthe perception of nurses in the context of Chinese culture.
Methods:
Face-to-face, in-depth interviews were conducted from November 2018 to December 2018.Purposive sampling was used. Twenty one participants recruited from eight geriatric wards of a generalhospital located in Wuhan were interviewed. A content analysis of qualitative nature was performed toanalyze the data.
Results:
Our conceptual model illustrated the findings based on the three themes of the conflict betweenpersonal recognition and social judgment, the choice between current needs and individual beliefs, aswell as the compromise between insufficient abilities and limited resources.
Conclusion
Nurses together with family members and social workers can help older adults improvetheir awareness of self-neglect to bridge the gap with social judgment, learn to focus on their own needs,as well as seek as much support as possible. Nurses should also respect the autonomy and selfdeterminationof elder self-neglecters because self-neglect is related to older adults' values. Furthermore,larger studies are needed to quantitatively test and refine the model.
