BackgroundAnxiety exists as a prevalent psychological problem among college students nowadays, which brings negative influence on their normal life. Mobile phone addiction and loneliness both have an impact on college students' anxiety. However, the acting path of loneliness between mobile phone addiction and anxiety requires further exploration. ObjectiveTo analyze the relationships among mobile phone addiction, loneliness and anxiety in college students, and to explore the acting path of loneliness between mobile phone addiction and anxiety. MethodsOn December 21, 2023, 1 400 college students from a university in Henan Province were selected, in accordance with the simple random sampling method, for investigation of this study. Questionnaire survey was conducted by using several scales including Mobile Phone Addiction Tendency Scale (MPATS), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and University of California Los Angeles-Loneliness Scale (UCLA-LS). Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the correlation between the scores of each scale above, and SPSS macro program Process 3.3 was used to test the mediation effect. ResultsA total of 1 239 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective recovery rate of 88.50%. The MPATS score of college students was positively correlated with both SAS and UCLA-LS scores (r=0.474, 0.387, P<0.01), and UCLA-LS score was positively correlated with SAS score (r=0.541, P<0.01). The indirect effect of loneliness between mobile phone addiction and anxiety was 0.160 (95% CI: 0.118~0.173), accounting for 33.97% of the total effect. ConclusionMobile phone addiction can positively predict anxiety among college students, and loneliness may act as the mediation path between mobile phone addiction and anxiety among college students.

Objective:To explore the mediating role of psychological resilience between work stress and sleep quality in psychiatric nurses.Methods:From April to August 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 457 psychiatric nurses working in three psychiatric hospitals in Henan Province as the research subjects. The survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), the Chinese Nursing Stressor Scale (CNSS), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between psychological resilience, work stress, and sleep quality among psychiatric nurses. SPSS 26.0 software was used to analyze the data, and Process macro program and Bootstrap method were used to test the mediating effect.Results:Among 457 psychiatric nurses, the total scores of the Chinese version of CD-RISC, CNSS, and PSQI were (58.89±13.27), (78.02±14.31), and (8.04±3.46), respectively. Pearson correlation showed that work stress was positively correlated with sleep quality ( r=0.703, P<0.01). In contrast, work stress was negatively correlated with psychological resilience ( r=-0.413, P<0.01), and psychological resilience was negatively correlated with sleep quality ( r=-0.712, P<0.01). Psychological resilience partially mediated the relationship between work stress and sleep quality, with a mediating effect value of 0.051, accounting for 30.0% of the total effect. Conclusions:Psychological resilience partially mediates the relationship between work stress and sleep quality in psychiatric nurses. Nursing managers should attach importance to and enhance the psychological resilience of psychiatric nurses, regularly relieve stress, improve sleep quality, and enhance the physical and mental health of nurses.

Objective:To explore the effects of childhood trauma and its subtypes on the severity of depression in patients with depression, and the mediating role of coping style.Methods:The self-administered general information questionnaire, Hamilton depression scale(HAMD), the Chinese version of childhood trauma questionnaire, and trait coping style questionnaire were used to survey 87 patients with depression from October 2020 to August 2022.SPSS 26.0 was used for descriptive and correlation analyses, AMOS 24.0 statistical software was used for structural equation modelling, PROCESS 4.1 macro program was used for mediating effect analysis, and Bootstrap method was used for mediating effect testing.Results:(1)The HAMD score of depressed patients was (33.32 ± 8.18), the total childhood trauma score was (40(34, 52)), with the subscale scores of emotional abuse(8(6, 12)), physical abuse(5(5, 6)), sexual abuse(5(5, 6)), emotional neglect(12(9, 17)), physical neglect(8(6, 10)), respectively.The score of positive coping style was (25(19, 31)), and negative coping style was (35(30, 37)).The HAMD score was positively correlated with emotional abuse, emotional neglect, physical neglect, total childhood trauma score, and negative coping style ( r=0.31-0.56, all P<0.01), and negatively correlated with positive coping style ( r=-0.35, P<0.01). (2) Positive coping style had no mediating effect between childhood trauma, emotional abuse, affective neglect subtypes and the severity of depression. The negative coping style played partial mediating roles between childhood trauma, emotional abuse, emotional neglect subtypes and the severity of depression, accounting for 23.24% (0.135/0.581), 33.94% (0.299/0.881) and 23.62% (0.227/0.961) of the total effect, respectively. Conclusion:Childhood trauma and its subtypes of emotional abuse and emotional neglect can not only directly but also indirectly through negative coping styles affect the severity of depression in depressed patients.

BackgroundDepression is a kind of disease with relatively high suicide risk, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients and their families, and brings a great burden to society. Antidepressants in western medicine are effective, but the improvement of depressive symptoms is relatively limited by single use, and the combination of two antidepressants may increase the risk of adverse reactions in patients. The rational use of Chinese patent medicine and western medicine may play a complementary role, and the safety of Chinese patent medicine is high. ObjectiveTo explore the early clinical efficacy of fluoxetine combined with Shugan Jieyu capsule in the treatment of depression, and to compare the differences in efficacy, safety and influence on heart rate variability between fluoxetine combined with Shugan Jieyu capsule and fluoxetine alone, so as to provide references for clinical medication of depression patients. MethodsFrom December 2015 to June 2016, 64 patients who met the diagnostic criteria of depression in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) who were hospitalized in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University were selected as the research objects, and were randomly divided into the combined medication group and the fluoxetine group with 32 patients in each group. Patients in both groups were treated with fluoxetine, while patients in the combined medication group were treated with Shugan Jieyu capsule on this basis. Patients in both groups were assessed with Hamilton Depression Scale-24 item (HAMD-24), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) before treatment, and were assessed with HAMD-24 and Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS) at the end of the 2nd, 4th and 6th week of treatment, and HRV was analyzed again at the end of the 6th week of treatment. ResultsThe study ultimately included 60 patients with depression, with 30 cases in the combination therapy group and 30 cases in the fluoxetine group. At the end of the 2nd, 4th and 6th week of treatment, the HAMD-24 score of the combined drug group was lower than that of the fluoxetine group (t=-2.677, -3.960, -4.432, P<0.05 or 0.01). Compared with before treatment, the 24-hour mean standard deviation of normal RR intervals (SDNN), normal low frequency (nLF) and normal high frequency (nHF) in the combined treatment group were higher at the end of the 6th week (t=-73.970, -31.878, -38.721, P<0.01), but significant lower in LF/HF (t=3.525, P<0.01). At the end of the 6th week of treatment, the total effective rate of the combined treatment group was higher than that of fluoxetine group, and the difference was statistically significant (86.67% vs. 70.00%, χ2=18.764, P<0.01). At the 2nd, 4th and 6th week of treatment, there was no significant difference in the number of adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05). ConclusionCompared with fluoxetine alone, Shugan Jieyu capsule combined with fluoxetine may be better in clinical efficacy and improvement of heart rate variability in patients with depression, without increasing adverse reactions.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and cognitive function of 3 new antiepileptic drugs Oxcarbazepine (OXC), Lamotrigine (LTG) and Levetiracetam (LEV) in children with self-limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (SeLECTS).Methods:This was a prospective study.A total of 98 children with SeLECTS who were treated in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from January 2014 to June 2020 were divided into OXC group, LTG group and LEV group according to the applied therapeutic drugs.Video electroencephalograph (EEG), Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) and event-related potentials (ERPs) of the children were collected before treatment and 48 weeks of treatment.Clinical efficacy and impact on cognitive function among the 3 groups were compared.Results:(1)Efficacy: There was no significant difference in the effective rate of seizure reduction after treatment among the 3 groups( χ2=0.808, P=0.668). There was no significant difference in EEG remission rate among the 3 groups( χ2=0.763, P=0.683). (2)Cognitive function: ①Intragroup comparison of WISC findings showed that the full scale score (FIQ) and verbal intelligence quotient (VIQ) were significantly enhanced, and the scores of comprehension, vocabulary, arithmetic, decoding and spelling subtests were more significantly enhanced in OXC group after treatment (all P<0.05). In the LTG group, FIQ, VIQ and operational intelligence quotient (PIQ) were significantly enhanced after treatment (all P<0.05), and the subtest scores of comprehension, vocabulary, arithmetic, mapping and layout were significantly enhanced (all P<0.05). In LEV group, FIQ, VIQ and PIQ were significantly enhanced after treatment (all P<0.05), especially the increase in the VIQ, and the scores of vocabulary, understanding, similarity, arithmetic, decoding and puzzle subtests were significantly enhanced (all P<0.05). Pairwise comparison of WISC findings showed that there were no significant differences in the FIQ, VIQ, PIQ and subtest scores before treatment among the 3 groups (all P>0.05). After treatment, the arithmetic and decoding scores of OXC group were significantly higher than those of LTG group (all P<0.05), which were comparable between OXC group and LEV group (all P>0.05). The PIQ and the scores of mapping and layout in LTG group were significantly higher than those of the other 2 groups (all P<0.05). The LEV group had higher scores in vocabulary, comprehension and spelling than those of the other 2 groups (all P<0.05), which had higher decoding scores than those of the LTG group (all P<0.05). No significant differences were found in decoding scores between LEV and OXC group (all P>0.05). Higher VIQ and FIQ were detected in LEV group than those of the other 2 groups (all P<0.05). ②Intragroup comparison of ERPs showed that the latency of LEV group after treatment was significantly shorter than that before treatment ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between the other 2 groups before and after treatment (all P>0.05). Pairwise comparison of ERPs showed that before treatment, there were no significant differences in P300 amplitude and latency among the 3 groups (all P>0.05). After treatment, the latency of LEV group was significantly shorter than that of the other 2 groups ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the amplitude between the 3 groups before and after treatment ( P>0.05). Conclusions:(1)In the treatment of SeLECTS in children, OXC, LTG and LEV have reliable and equivalent effects.(2)OXC, LTG and LEV have protective effects on cognitive function in children with SeLECTS.After treatment, LEV provides the strongest protective effect on FIQ, and the protective effect on VIQ is equivalent to OXC, but better than LTG.LTG is superior in protecting spatial perception and PIQ.

Objective:To explore the latent categories of child neglect and its influencing factors, and to investigate the relationship among different categories, personality trait and self-efficacy, as well as the moderating effect of different categories.Methods:A total of 558 middle school students in Xinmi were investigated by the child neglect scale, the Eysenck personality questionnaire, and the general self-efficacy scale. Mplus 7.0, SPSS 26.0 and PROCESS v3.5 softwares were used for latent profile analysis, binary Logistic regression analysis, independent samples t-test and moderating effect test. Results:(1)Children were divided into "high-risk group" (21.3%(109/551)) , "low-risk group" (78.7%(402/551)). (2)The occurrence ratio of the high-risk group increased by 33.4% every one year in age( B=0.288, OR=1.334, P<0.05). Middle school students who live with their grandparents were more likely to be in the high-risk group( B=0.822, OR=2.275, P≤0.05). (3)The scores of extraversion, lie and self-efficacy in high-risk group((51.803±9.877), (46.860±6.552), (23.321±5.448)) were significantly lower than those in low-risk group((54.341±10.521), (48.981±6.548), (24.933±4.961)) ( t=2.262, 2.998, 2.945, all P<0.05), and the scores of neuroticism and psychoticism((58.316±1.880), (56.536±10.663)) were significantly higher than those in low-risk group((48.731±12.371), (49.850±9.562)) ( t=-7.235, -6.314, both P<0.001). (4)The latent categories of child neglect played a moderating role between psychoticism and self-efficacy ( B=-0.111, P<0.05). For the low-risk group, psychoticism had no significant predictive effect on self-efficacy( B=-0.032, P=0.223), for the high-risk group, self-efficacy showed a significant downward trend with the increase of psychoticism( B=-0.143, P=0.002). Conclusion:Child neglect can be divided into two potential categories, which have a moderating effect on the relationship between psychoticism and self-efficacy of high school students.

ObjectiveTo investigate the status and influencing factors of medication adherence in patients with severe mental disorders in Zhengzhou, so as to provide references for the formulation of prevention and treatment measures for severe mental disorders. MethodsFrom March to June 2021, a stratified multistage cluster sampling method was applied to select 342 patients from the National Information System for Severe Mental Disorders in Zhengzhou. The general demographic data of patients were collected via self-designed questionnaire, and the medication status was investigated, then the influential factors were summarized. The differences in influential factors of medication adherence were compared between the medication adherence group and the medication non-adherence group. Thereafter, Logistic regression analysis was applied to explore the factors influencing medication adherence. ResultsA total of 320 patients were included in the final analysis, altogether 76.56% of patients (n=245) complied with medication. The differences between patients in the medication adherence group and those in the medication non-adherence group were statistically significant in terms of residence, occupation, and outpatient chronic disease reimbursement (χ2=14.015, 7.502, 13.106, P<0.05 or 0.01). In the questionnaire of influential factors on medication adherence, there were statistically significant differences in the scores of lack of insight, stigma and drug-related factors between the two groups (Z=7.588, 2.379, 2.893, P<0.05 or 0.01). Outpatient chronic disease reimbursement was a protective factor for medication adherence (OR=2.727, 95% CI: 1.320~5.634, P<0.01), while rural residence (OR=0.465, 95% CI: 0.221~0.977, P<0.05) and lack of insight (OR=0.398, 95% CI: 0.286~0.553, P<0.01) were risk factors for medication adherence. ConclusionPatients with severe mental disorders in Zhengzhou have a high rate of medication adherence, moreover, the outpatient chronic disease reimbursement, lack of insight and residence may be influencing factors for medication adherence in patients with severe mental disorders.

ObjectiveTo investigate the P300 evoked by Stroop Color Word Task in children with emotional neglect, and to explore their implication for inhibition control. MethodsA cluster sampling was conducted for the first grade students of a middle school in Sanmenxia City, Henan Province. The students from 3 classes were assessed by standard Raven reasoning test and Child Neglect Scale (CNS), and a total of 147 eligible students were screened out. Children were divided into the emotional neglect group (n=40) and the control group (n=40) according to the 27% before and after the score of CNS emotional neglect factor. Both groups completed the Stroop Color word task, and EEG data were collected to compare the response time, accuracy, amplitude and latency of P300 between the two groups. ResultsThe CNS total score and the scores of safety neglect, communication neglect, physical neglect and emotional neglect factors in the emotional neglect group were significantly higher than those in control group (t=15.003, 4.301, 11.495, 4.803, 23.957, P<0.01). The average reaction time in the incongruent task of emotional neglect group was significantly longer than that in the control group [(879.02±101.52) ms vs. (756.93±113.91) ms, t=5.061, P<0.01]. Under incongruent task, the average amplitude of P300 in emotional neglect group was lower than that of the control group [(3.97±1.12) μV vs. (8.71±1.24) μV, t=-17.976, P<0.01]. The average latency of P300 of emotional neglect group was longer than that of the control group [(361.81±39.69) ms vs. (301.35±33.67) ms, t=7.346, P<0.01]. ConclusionUnder incongruent task, children with emotional neglect had longer response time, longer latency and lower amplitude of P300, which suggested that children with affective neglect may have inhibition and control disorder.
