1.Investigation of the current status of radiation protection in veterinary diagnostic and treatment institutions in Liaocheng City, China
Chinese Journal of Radiological Health 2025;34(4):494-499
Objective To systematically assess the current status of radiation protection in veterinary diagnostic and treatment institutions in Liaocheng City, identify weaknesses in management, and provide a basis for standardizing veterinary radiological diagnostic and treatment. Methods A census-based design was employed. Data on radiation protection management, occupational health, and diagnostic and treatment practices were collected using standardized questionnaires. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2024 involving all 47 veterinary institutions equipped with radiological diagnostic and treatment devices in Liaocheng City. Results All 47 institutions were equipped with X-ray radiography units (no CT scanners), with 23.4% using medical-grade equipment (including 5 second-hand units). None of the institutions implemented the “three-synchronization” system, 12.8% lacked radiation protection records, and 21.3% failed to declare occupational disease hazards. Compared with veterinary clinics, veterinary hospitals demonstrated significantly superior performance in three key radiation protection metrics: the proportion of radiology staff receiving radiation protection training (100% vs. 50.0%), individual dose monitoring compliance (92.3% vs. 55.3%), and occupational health examination rate (100% vs. 39.5%) (all P < 0.05). Moreover, 87.2% of institutions allowed pet owners to remain in the examination room, of whom only 68.1% wore protective gear, and all institutions reported radiation exposure to the limbs of animal restrainers. Staff demonstrated inadequate knowledge of radiation protection. Although all radiation protection tests met standards, the median radiation level from medical-grade equipment (0.48 μSv/h) was significantly higher than that from veterinary-specific equipment (0.15 μSv/h). Conclusion Veterinary diagnostic and treatment institutions in Liaocheng City exhibited a pattern of “hospitals superior to clinics”. Prominent issues included compliance risks associated with second-hand equipment, radiation exposure to non-occupational personnel (owners and restrainers), and insufficient radiation protection knowledge. Recommendations include strengthening oversight of equipment sources, promoting specialized animal restraint devices, standardizing procedures for pet owner presence in examination rooms, and implementing targeted training programs.

Objective:To understand the current situation of nurses in 52 hospitals in China on mastery of knowledge about skin injury in the elderly based on the background of mixed-mode homogenization training.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 1 067 nurses from 52 hospitals in China were selected as the research objects in January 2021. A self-designed questionnaire on knowledge of skin injury in the elderly was used to investigate the nurses through the questionnaire star and univariate analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors. A total of 1 067 questionnaires were distributed and 1 067 valid questionnaires were recovered, and the effective recovery rate was 100%.Results:The knowledge scores of pressure injury, incontinence-associated dermatitis, skin tear and xerosis cutis among 1067 nurses were (95.66±7.37) , (95.65±9.15) , (91.37±15.45) and (87.67±15.91) , respectively. The results of univariate analysis showed that hospital grade was the influencing factor of nurses' knowledge score of pressure injury, skin tear and incontinence-associated dermatitis ( P<0.05) , educational background was the influencing factor of nurses' knowledge score of skin tear ( P<0.05) , professional title was the influencing factor of nurses' knowledge scores of pressure injury, incontinence-associated dermatitis and xerosis cutis ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Hospitals at all levels need to strengthen the theoretical and practical knowledge training for nurses on skin xerosis and skin tear in the elderly, especially for nurses with primary titles and lower education in grassroots hospitals.
4.Haze weather health protection behavior and associated factors in adolescents
Chinese Journal of School Health 2022;43(3):367-371
Objective:
To investigate adolescent haze weather health protection behavior, and to provide scientific basis for behavioral intervention and health guidance for adolescents in haze weather.
Methods:
From June 2015 to April 2016, 1 025 adolescents were selected from 22 classes in two middle schools of Baoding City, Hebei Province, by stratified cluster sampling method. General information questionnaire and the Brief Haze Weather Health Protection Behavior Assessment Scale Adolescent Version (BHWHPBAS AV) were used. Multiple linear regressions were conducted to explore factors affecting adolescent haze weather health protection behavior. Different models were used to confirm associations between influencing factors and BHWHPBAS AV scores.
Results:
Adolescents had a low overall score of BHWHPBASAV (45.81±13.16). The score rate of self adjustment after haze weather was the highest (64.54%). The score rate of obtaining relevant knowledge before haze weather was the lowest (50.28%). Compared with adolescents in urban area, rural adolescents had a lower BHWHPBAS AV score ( β=-3.20, P <0.01). Compared with students (living with parents), those living without parents had a lower BHWHPBAS AV score ( β=-4.16, P =0.01). Compared with students never receive physical examination,those had received physical examination during the past years had a higher BHWHPBAS AV score ( β=4.44,5.66,9.04, P <0.01). Compared with students with no knowledge of respiratory system diseases, those with moderate to sufficient knowledge had a higher BHWHPBAS AV score ( β=9.34,12.19,P <0.01). These associations were stable and consistent.Multiple linear regression analysis showed that residence, residence with parents, physical examination and knowledge of respiratory diseases were the relevant factors of BHWHPBAS AV score ( P <0.05).
Conclusion
Adolescent haze weather health protection behavior level is low and is affected by many factors. Cooperation should be strengthened to conduct behavioral interventions and health guidance on haze health protection for adolescents, so as to promote healthy growth of adolescents.
