Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(1):94-98
Objective:
To explore the chain mediating effect of regulatory emotional self efficacy and positive psychological capital on resilience and the mental health of college students.
Methods:
A total of 809 college students of Chaohu University were selected and were administered with the the Self report Symptom Invertory, Symptom Checklist,90 (SCL-90), Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Regulatory Emotional Self efficacy Scale (RES-C) and Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PPQ). Multiple linear regression analysis was performed, taking resilience, regulatory emotional self efficacy and positive psychological capital as independent variables and the mental health of college students as dependent variables, meanwhile test the intermediary effect.
Results:
Differences were found in resilience(3.52±0.55,3.27±0.42), regulatory emotional self efficacy(3.58± 0.59 ,3.32±0.57), positive psychological capital(4.74±0.77,4.49±0.76) and mental health(158.66±33.01,176.53±34.73) among college students with different sources(urban and rural)( t =55.82,39.22,21.28,-54.14, P <0.05). Resilience, regulatory emotional self efficacy and positive psychological capital were significantly associated with the severity of mental health of college students( R 2= 0.21, P <0.01). Regulatory emotional self efficacy and positive psychological capital played a significant chain mediating role between resilience and poor mental health( effect =-0.03, P <0.05), and the mediating effect accounted for 39.3% of the total effect.
Conclusion
The mental health of college students can be improved by strengthening levels of resilience and enhancing regulatory emotional self efficacy, and constructing positive psychological capital could contribute to the association between resilience and mental health.

Objective:
To explore the mediating role of depression in the association between life events and Internet addiction, and to provide evidence for the intervention of Internet addiction.
Methods:
A total of 3 536 students randomly selected from 3 vocational colleges in Anhui Province completed the questionnaire survey, which included adolescents’ demographic characteristics, the Young Internet Addiction Inventory, the Adolescent Life Events Scale, and the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale.
Results:
Of the 3 536 students surveyed, 427 were Internet addicts (12.08%), including 183 boys (14.89%) and 244 girls (10.58%). Negative life events were associated with depression and Internet addiction (r=-0.30,0.28, P<0.01); depression was mediated indirectly between negative life events and Internet addiction. There was statistical significance (a=0.30, b=0.13, P<0.01). Depression-mediated indirect effects accounted for 14.67% of the total effects.
Conclusion
Depression plays a mediating role in the relationship between negative life events and adolescents’ Internet addiction, suggesting that we can reduce the incidence of Internet addiction by reducing students’ depression through early psychological diagnosis and psychological quality training.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2019;40(9):1322-1325
Objective:
To explore the relationship between childhood sexual abuse (CSA) experience and sexual behavior among female nursing students and to provide a scientific reference for intervening sexual behavior for female nursing students.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 2 549 female students majoring nursing from four medical schools (one is a medical college and the other is medical junior college) by self-administered questionnaire. A questionnaire survey regarding demographic information, childhood sexual abuse, sexual behavior was conducted and multi-factor Logistic regression method was used to analyze the effect of childhood sexual abuse in different stages made on their sexual behavior.
Results:
Among 2 549 female nursing students, 143(5.6%) reported having had sexual intercourse, 141 reported having had sexual intercourse with the opposite sex, 6 reported having had sexual intercourse with the same sex, and 4 reported having sexual intercourse with both sexes. The report rate of sexual behavior of nursing students in undergraduate colleges (6.8%) was lower than that of junior college (3.9%), the second-grade nursing students reported the highest rate of sexual behavior (7.8%), the lowest in first grade (4.0%). Nursing students in good relationship with parents reported lowest rate of sexual behavior(P<0.05). Compared to those who had not experienced CSA, students who had experienced contacting or no-contacting CSA reported a higher percentage engaged in sexual intercourse(P<0.05). CSA in all types and different stages in childhood associated with higher risk of sexual intercourse among nursing students(P<0.05).
Conclusion
Childhood sexual abuse shows significant impacts on sexual behaviors during young adulthood, which warrants further attention to promote physical and mental health of college students.

XIE Guodie, HAN Azhu, CHEN Liru, SU Puyu
Chinese Journal of School Health 2019;40(8):1177-1181
Objective:
To summarize the existing cohort study evidence between adverse childhood experience(ACEs) and adolescent depression, to explore the influence of ACEs on adolescent depression, so as to provide evidence for the prevention of adolescent depression.
Methods:
Chinese and English literatures on the cohort study on the correlation between ACEs and adolescent depression published by WanFang, VIP databases, CNKI, CBM, PubMed and Web of Science were searched. We only selected orginal articles that their either reported on Chinese and English retrieval words of "adverse childhood experiences" "ACE" "abuse" "maltreat" "mistreat" "neglect" "bully" "bullying" "family dysfunction" "family violence" "adversities" "trauma" "victimization" "victim" "adverse events" "adverse experiences" "longitudinal" "follow-up" "prospective" "cohort" "depression" "depressive". Meta-analysis was performed on the literatures that met the inclusion criteria, and statistical analysis was conducted using Stata software.
Results:
Twelve references (11 in English and 1 in Chinese) were included in the Meta-analysis, and the results showed that ACEs were positively correlated with adolescent depression (pooled OR=1.75,95%CI=1.43-2.15). Among them, The effect of neglect was most prominent (pooled OR=2.42, 95%CI=1.31-4.46) while the influence of abuse was least strong (pooled OR=1.77, 95%CI=1.25-2.52). The pooled odds ratio associated with bully was 2.09 with the 95% confidence intervals from 1.38 to 3.16. The pooled odds ratio of boys is greater than girls(boys: pooled OR=3.77, 95%CI=2.31-6.15; girls: pooled OR=1.44, 95%CI=1.04-2.01). Funnel plot and Egger test suggested publication bias in the included literatures, and the sensitivity analysis indicated that the meta analysis results were relatively stable.
Conclusion
The adverse childhood exprience is positively associated with adolescent depression.Adolescent depression is strongly affected by neglected,and is least affected by abuse.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2020;41(4):498-501
Objective:
To explore the relationships between the characteristics of childhood sexual abuse and non-suicidal self-injury in nursing female college students.
Methods:
Two medical colleges and junior colleges were selected in Anhui province. A total of 2 549 female nursing students in grade 1 to 3 were asked to fill a questionnaire regarding sociodemographic information,childhood sexual abuse and non-suicidal self-injury.
Results:
The reported rate of non-suicidal self-injury among female nursing students in the past six months was 8.2%. Sexual abuse at any time during childhood (primary school or earlier,middle school and high school) increased the risk of non-suicidal self-injury among female nursing students (P<0.05). Exposure to sexual abuse in all three periods was associated with 5.04(95%CI=1.73-14.62) times odds ratio than that of those who not exposed to sexual abuse (P<0.01). Only contact sexual abuse and both contact and non-contact sexual abuse in childhood were correlated with nonsuicidal selfinjury among female nursing students [OR(95%CI)=2.21(1.48-3.29), 3.56(2.13-5.96)] (P<0.05). Two patterns of sexual abuse experiences were identified,including persistent sexual abuse (3.1%) and the other group is occasional sexual (96.9%). Persistent sexual abuse in childhood was correlated to higher risk of non-suicidal self-injury compared with occasional sexual abuse (OR=2.61,95%CI=1.35-5.05,P<0.01).
Conclusion
The occurrence periods,types and patterns of sexual abuse in childhood are closely related to non-suicidal self-injury in female nursing students.

GONG Chun, FANG Jiao, ZHANG Lei, SU Puyu, WAN Yuhui, TAO Fangbiao, SUN Ying
Chinese Journal of School Health 2020;41(6):815-820
Objective:
The study aims to examine the prospective association and sex differences of pubertal timing and tempo with behavior problems.
Methods:
Participants from two primary schools in grade 1-3 were selected through clustering convenience sampling method in Bengbu, Anhui Province was established since 2013 (T1), with informed consent, 2 084 students were recruited, and follow-up surveys were conducted in 2015 (T2), 2017 (T3) and 2019 (T4) respectively. Demographic information, non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), suicidal ideation, suicide plan, suicide attempt and externalizing symptoms were collected through questionnaire investigation, and pubertal development in boys and girls were evaluated by secondary sexual development (testicular volume for boys and breast development for girls). At T4, externalizing symptoms were evaluated by MacArthur Health & Behavior Questionnaire-Child (HBQ-C). Using SAS PROC NLMIXED to fit nonlinear growth model to estimate pubertal timimg and tempo. Puberty timing was classified into early, on-time, and delayed groups; and the puberty tempo into fast, average, and slow groups. Multivariable logistic regression model was used to analyze the predictive effects of modeling pubertal timing and tempo on multi-disciplinary behavior problems in adolescence boys and girls.
Results:
There were 1 909 people with complete baseline and follow-up questionnaires and puberty development information. Reported rates of externalizing symptoms, NSSI, suicidal ideation, suicide plan, suicide attempt and were 13.9% (265), 24.4% (466), 14.2% (271), 4.6% (88) and 2.3% (43) respectively. Logistic regression analysis results show that fast pubertal tempo increases the risk of externalization [OR(95%CI)=2.85(1.53-5.31) and NSSI [OR(95%CI)=2.11(1.22-3.65)] for boys, and the risk of suicide attempt [OR(95%CI)=2.99(1.07-8.35)] for girls. Slow tempo can reduce the risk of suicidal ideation and suicide plan for boys [OR(95%CI)=0.40(0.18-0.87), 0.07(0.01-0.67)], the externalizing symptoms and suicidal ideation for girls [OR(95%CI)=0.33(0.13-0.81),0.38(0.17-0.85)]. Early pubertal timing will increase the risk of suicide plan for boys [OR(95%CI)=3.60(1.04-12.43)], meanwhile late timing can reduce the risk of NSSI in girls [OR(95%CI)=0.39(0.19-0.80)].
Conclusion
The tempo of pubertal development may be a useful predictor of adolescent behavioral problems.
10.Interaction effects between childhood emotional overeating and polygenic influences on pubertal timing and tempo
Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(4):497-500
Objective:
To explore the interaction effects and possible sex differences in childhood emotional overeating and polygenic influences on adolescent pubertal timing and tempo.
Methods:
In March 2016 (T0), all participants were recruited from grades 1 to 3 from two primary school of Bengbu, Anhui Province using cluster sampling, and follow up surveys were conducted once per year (T1, T2, T3). Emotional overeating was assessed at T1 and pubertal development was assessed annually (breast Tanner stage in girls and testicular volume in boys). The nonlinear growth model was used to estimate pubertal timing and tempo. Polygenic risk scores were calculated based on 17 SNPs for early pubertal timing. Hierarchical linear regression was performed to examine the interaction effects between childhood emotional overeating and polygenic risk scores on pubertal timing and tempo.
Results:
The complete data of 896 children were analyzed, including 373 boys (41.60%) and 523 girls (58.40%). A total of 203 (22.7%) children reported emotional overeating behavior at T1. After adjusting for several variables including early life adversity, delivery mode, and birthweight, only emotional overeating was associated with accelerated pubertal tempo among girls with a high genetic risk (B=0.19, 95%CI=0.07~0.32, P<0.01), although there was no association with pubertal timing (B=0.14, 95%CI=-0.12~0.41,P=0.28). In girls with a low genetic risk and boys, no evidence was found to support interaction effects between childhood emotional overeating and polygenic influences on pubertal timing and tempo (P>0.05).
Conclusion
Emotional overeating was associated with a faster pubertal tempo in girls who had a high genetic risk of early pubertal development.
