BackgroundAnxiety symptoms have become a public health issue affecting the physical and mental health of the elderly population. Mental health literacy is a predictor of anxiety symptoms in the elderly. Currently, there are limited studies on the pathogenic mechanism between the two. Exploring the relationship and mechanism between mental health literacy and anxiety symptoms among the elderly is of great significance for improving the mental health level of the elderly. ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of mental health literacy on anxiety symptoms in the elderly, and to analyze the role of insomnia in this process, in order to provide references for the formulation of prevention and intervention strategies for anxiety symptoms in the elderly. MethodsFrom August 2021 to December 2022, a total of 10 650 older adults aged 60 years old and above were selected from a city in Sichuan Province using a multistage stratified sampling method. Participants completed the self-compiled demographic questionnaire, the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 item (GAD-7), and the National Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire (NMHLQ). Spearman correlation analysis was adopted to examine the correlation between the scores of the scales. Model 4 in SPSS 27.0 plugin Process 4.1 was employed to test the pathway of insomnia between mental health literacy (and its various dimensions) and anxiety symptoms. ResultsAmong the participants, 9 609 cases (90.23%) completed the valid questionnaire survey, and 1 680 cases (17.48%) were found to have anxiety symptoms. The total score of the NMHLQ for the elderly, as well as the scores of the knowledge, awareness, and skills dimensions, were negatively correlated with the GAD-7 score and the ISI score (rs=-0.506–-0.054, P<0.01), and the ISI score was positively correlated with the GAD-7 score (rs=0.666, P<0.01). Insomnia served as the mediating pathway between the mental health literacy and anxiety symptoms, with an indirect effect value of -0.210 (95% CI: -0.227–-0.193), accounting for 54.97% of the total effect. Insomnia was the mediating pathway between the mental health literacy knowledge and anxiety symptoms of the elderly, with an indirect effect value of -0.161 (95% CI: -0.178–-0.144), accounting for 52.61% of the total effect. Insomnia played a mediating role in the relationship between the awareness of mental health literacy and anxiety symptoms, with an indirect effect value of -0.323 (95% CI: -0.342–-0.302), accounting for 76.36% of the total effect. Insomnia was the mediating pathway between the mental health literacy skills and anxiety symptoms of the elderly, with an indirect effect value of -0.172 (95% CI: -0.187–-0.159), accounting for 53.75% of the total effect. ConclusionThe dimensions of mental health literacy, knowledge, awareness and skills of the elderly not only directly affect anxiety symptoms, but also indirectly influence anxiety symptoms through the pathway of insomnia.[Funded by Medical Research Project Plan of Sichuan Province (number, S23049)]

Objective:To explore the current status of perceived vulnerability and its influencing factors among parents of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) .Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select 220 parents of children with T1DM from the diabetes care and consultation outpatient clinic at Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University, from June to November 2023. The parents were surveyed using a general information questionnaire, the Parental Perceived Vulnerability Scale, the Family Care Index, and the Parental Illness Uncertainty Scale.Results:A total of 220 questionnaires were distributed, with 192 valid responses. The total score on the Parental Perceived Vulnerability Scale was (13.91±5.39), the total score on the Family Care Index was (5.39±2.73), and the total score on the Parental Illness Uncertainty Scale was (75.36±17.34). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that whether the child was an only child, family monthly income per capita, parents' religious beliefs, family care level, and illness uncertainty were significant influencing factors for perceived vulnerability ( P<0.05), explaining 36.5% of the variance. Conclusions:Healthcare professionals should pay more attention to parents who have only children, have lower family income, and do not have religious beliefs. Interventions aimed at improving family care levels and reducing illness uncertainty may help decrease the perceived vulnerability among parents of children with T1DM.
