Objective To understand the current situation and motives of patients xeroxing medical records and the various factors affecting patients' right to know. Methods A cross-sectional survey was made on people who xeroxed medical records with self-made questionnaires and methods of descriptive analysis and stepwise regression analysis were then used to analyze 306 returned questionnaires. Results 98.37% of those surveyed showed approval for the procedures regarding the xeroxing of medical records; 98.04% felt satisfied with the hospital's medical records control; and the chief motives of patients xeroxing medical records were data keeping (28.57%) and medical insurance(27.12%). The current state of knowledge possessed by people xeroxing medical records about patients' rights was unsatisfying. Conclusion Patients' awareness of their right to xerox medical records and their satisfaction towards the hospital's medical records control are fairly high, and yet efforts still need to be made to step up propaganda among rural and elderly people.

Objective To understand physical and mental health status of children affected with AIDS and other children living in vulnerable families in a pilot county of the China /UNICEF AIDS Prevention and Care Project.Methods By random sampling,250 children of 0-17 years of age in a project county in Yunnan province were selected from 3 types of family:with family members affected with AIDS,with family members using illicit drugs,and poor family.Height were measured to all 250 children.Psychological questionnaire was used to interview 154 children over 6 years.Results There was no significant difference in height,but significant differences in psychological status among children from the 3 types of families.Among the children affected with AIDS,near 68% had difficulty or were indecisive in coping with problems in their daily life ;58% were worried about peer interaction;67% were relatively self-confident,which was lower than children affected by drug abuse,and the latter was 89%.Conclusion The mental status of children from the 3 types of family is different,and community care should be provided by considering the difference between them.
