Objective:To summarize the application of digital health technology in swallowing rehabilitation for patients with head and neck neoplasms.Methods:Following the scoping review framework of Arksey and O'Malley, literature on the application of digital health technology in swallowing rehabilitation for patients with head and neck neoplasms was electronically retrieved from databases including the Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, IEEE Xplore, China Biology Medicine disc, Wanfang Data, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. The search period was from database establishment to August 5, 2025.Results:A total of 21 articles were included. Types of head and neck neoplasms included oropharyngeal cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, oral cancer, tongue cancer, laryngeal cancer, hypopharyngeal cancer, and others. The application forms of digital health technologies involved virtual reality technology, telemedicine systems, interactive mobile health APPs/digital health platforms, and wearable devices. Interactive mobile health apps/digital health platforms were currently the most widely adopted form, with some applications integrating wearable devices for physiological data monitoring. The main components of the intervention included guiding swallowing training methods, training monitoring/supervision and feedback, swallowing function screening/assessment, and health education.Conclusions:The application of digital health technology in swallowing rehabilitation for patients with head and neck neoplasms is still in its early stages, but its advantages in enhancing rehabilitation accessibility and promoting patient adherence have already begun to emerge. Nevertheless, it also faces challenges such as limited user-friendliness, insufficient personalized feedback, and a lack of humanistic care. It is necessary to further explore and develop personalized, precision-oriented intelligent swallowing rehabilitation systems tailored to the specific needs of swallowing rehabilitation for head and neck cancer patients. High-quality clinical studies should be conducted to validate long-term efficacy, thereby providing intelligent solutions for clinical nursing practices in swallowing rehabilitation for these patients.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(6):802-805
Objective:
To analyze the implementation status and challenges of sex education in special education schools, so as to provide a scientific basis for formulating effective promotion strategies.
Methods:
From November 2023 to January 2024, a census survey was conducted among 120 in service teachers from 7 special education schools in Luzhou. The questionnaire covered the current status of sex education in schools, teachers attitudes and knowledge toward sex education, and their coping methods for students inappropriate sexual behaviors.
Results:
About 77.5% of teachers reported having provided sex education to students, but 93.2% indicated a lack of specialized sex education textbooks for special children, 90.4% reported no full time teachers for sex education, and the methods of sex education were relatively limited (50.0% mainly based on lecture method). Nearly 95.8% of teachers held a positive attitude toward sex education, with 98.3% supporting its implementation. Only 26.7% of teachers demonstrated a good grasp of sex education knowledge, with the best understood topic being "recognition and protection of private parts" (21.6%). When dealing with students inappropriate sexual behaviors, the active response rate of teachers was 23.9%, with the highest active response rate observed for "intentionally hugging or kissing the opposite sex" (39.7%).
Conclusions
The special education schools in Luzhou lack comprehensive sex education curricula, teaching materials and full time teachers, sufficient knowledge among teachers, and adequate proactive responses to students inappropriate sexual behaviors. Greater emphasis should be placed on sex education for special children, including the training of dedicated teachers, to provide comprehensive and high quality sex education services for special children.
