Objective:To develop a scientific and practical questionnaire for general practice residents, and to conduct multidimensional and comprehensive evaluation of the quality of general practice teaching clinics.Methods:A preliminary draft of the questionnaire items was formulated based on a literature review and in-depth interviews. The Delphi method was employed to conduct two rounds of consultation with 14 experts. Following revisions, a convenience sampling method was used to invite general practice residents from three standardized residency training bases to test the reliability and validity of the questionnaire.Results:The questionnaire consisted of 23 items, covering the three dimensions of preparation, implementation process, and comprehensive evaluation of the teaching clinics. The response rates for the two rounds of the expert consultation were both 100.00%, with expert authority coefficients of 0.89 and 0.90, respectively. The overall Cronbach's α coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.93, and the correlation coefficients between each item score and the total score were all >0.30. Structural validity analysis revealed that three common factors were extracted from the questionnaire, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 77.89%. Conclusions:The General Practice Teaching Clinic Quality Evaluation Questionnaire for Residents developed in this study demonstrates high reliability and validity. The questionnaire provides a scientific basis for the standardized assessment of teaching quality in general practice clinics. By incorporating resident feedback on the teaching process, the questionnaire promotes the development of a teaching clinic quality improvement mechanism focused on residents and plays a significant role in enhancing the teaching capabilities of supervising physicians in clinics.

Objective:To investigate the association between different socioeconomic status (SES) levels and the incidence of sensory impairment (SI) in the Chinese population.Methods:This study adopted a prospective cohort design, utilizing data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) collected in July or August 2011. Participants who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were followed up every 2-3 years until the onset of SI or the end of the follow-up period (August 2018). Based on educational attainment and annual per capita household expenditure, participants were classified into four SES groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high SES. Logistic regression was employed to analyze the relationship between different SES levels and the incidence of SI.Results:A total of 7 415 participants were included in the study, with a mean follow-up duration of 4.9 years. A total of 3 644 cases of incident SI were recorded (49.1%). Compared with the high SES group, the risk of developing SI was progressively higher in the upper-middle SES group ( OR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.03-1.96), lower-middle SES group ( OR=1.83, 95% CI: 1.29-2.60), and low SES group ( OR=2.04, 95% CI: 1.42-2.94) ( P for trend<0.001). Conclusions:SES is closely associated with new-onset SI. Enhancing SES may help reduce the risk of developing SI.

Objective:To explore the application effect of the BOPPPS[bridge-in(B), objective(O), pre-assessment(P), participatory learning(P), post-assessment(P), Summary(S) ]model combined with scenario-based teaching in out-of-school first aid training for school-aged children, aiming to offer insights for relevant educational practices.Methods:A quasi-experimental study was conducted. Using cluster sampling, 131 school-aged children participating in Wuhan first aid summer camp from July to August 2024 were selected as participants. Among them, 65 children enrolled in July 2024 were assigned to the control group and received training using traditional teaching methods, while 66 children enrolled in August 2024 were assigned to the experimental group and underwent training designed with the BOPPPS model integrated with scenario-based teaching according to the time of entry into the camp. After the training, theoretical exam scores, learning process evaluations, and training satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results:The control group included 31 boys and 34 girls, aged (9.32 ± 1.83) years; the experimental group included 34 boys and 32 girls, aged (9.71 ± 1.73) years. After the intervention, the total scores of theoretical examination, learning process evaluation, and training satisfaction in the experimental group were (90.27 ± 4.41), (42.79 ± 1.39), and (21.43 ± 2.41) points, respectively, which were higher than those in the control group (82.05 ± 6.29), (38.85 ± 1.91), and (19.54 ± 3.02) points, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=6.94, 3.15, 4.16, all P<0.05). Conclusions:This out-of-school first aid training for school-aged children leveraged the professional expertise of a tertiary grade A hospital′s pediatric department. The integration of the BOPPPS model with scenario-based teaching effectively enhanced the first aid competencies of school-aged children and improved their satisfaction with the training.

Endodontic diseases are a kind of chronic infectious oral disease.Common endodontic treatment concepts are based on the removal of inflamed or necrotic pulp tissue and the replacement by gutta-percha.However,it is very essential for endodontic treatment to debride the root canal system and prevent the root canal system from bacterial reinfection after root canal therapy(RCT).Recent research,encompassing bacterial etiology and advanced imaging techniques,contributes to our understanding of the root canal system's anatomy intricacies and the technique sensitivity of RCT.Success in RCT hinges on factors like patients,infection severity,root canal anatomy,and treatment techniques.Therefore,improving disease management is a key issue to combat endodontic diseases and cure periapical lesions.The clinical difficulty assessment system of RCT is established based on patient conditions,tooth conditions,root canal configuration,and root canal needing retreatment,and emphasizes pre-treatment risk assessment for optimal outcomes.The findings suggest that the presence of risk factors may correlate with the challenge of achieving the high standard required for RCT.These insights contribute not only to improve education but also aid practitioners in treatment planning and referral decision-making within the field of endodontics.
