Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(9):1262-1265
Objective:
To understand the indoor light at night (LAN) exposure intensity during sleep among children and adolescents in Shanghai, so as to provide a basis for exploring potential health risks and formulating effective interventions.
Methods:
From April to December in 2024, a total of 628 students in grades 4-7 were recruited from three schools in Shanghai. A portable illuminance meter was used to measure LAN for one week, and participants recorded their sleep time. The Kruskal-Wallis H- test was used for comparison between groups, and the error bar chart was used to show the trend and variation range of average LAN exposure intensity in different sleep periods.
Results:
The indoor LAN exposure intensity of children and adolescents in Shanghai was [2.4(0.8, 5.9)lx] during sleep, and 28.8% of children and adolescents were exposed to indoor LAN≥5 lx. There was no significant differences in indoor LAN exposure intensity between boys [2.4(1.0, 5.9)lx] and girls [2.3(0.7, 5.9)lx] ( Z=-0.86, P > 0.05 ). The indoor LAN exposure intensity of primary school students [2.9(1.1, 6.6)lx] was higher than that of junior high school students [1.0(0.3, 3.1)lx] ( Z =-5.87), and indoor LAN exposure intensity of students in the main urban area [3.2(1.1, 7.8)lx] was higher than that of rural students [1.6(0.5, 4.3)lx] ( Z =-5.23)(both P <0.05). The indoor LAN exposure intensity showed an overall decreasing trend during sleep of children and adolescents ( tau=-0.81, P =0.02), with a slight increase before waking up.
Conclusions
Indoor LAN exposure intensity among children and adolescents in Shanghai is generally high, especially among primary school students and students living in the main urban area. Health policy and education should be strengthened to reduce the impact of LAN on children and adolescent health.

Objective:To summarize the content and effects of exercise interventions for stroke survivors, providing references for medical and nursing personnel in formulating exercise intervention plans for these patients.Methods:Literature on exercise interventions for stroke survivors was searched in databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science up to May 1, 2023. Data extraction and summarization were conducted on the included literature.Results:Twenty-two articles were included in the review. The exercise types for stroke survivors primarily involved aerobic and resistance training; the intensity was mainly moderate to high; the frequency was mostly 3-5 times per week, with each session lasting 30-60 minutes; and the duration of interventions ranged from as short as two weeks to as long as one year. Exercise interventions improved stroke survivors' functional mobility, quality of life, cardiopulmonary function, mental state, cognitive function, fatigue, sleep, and compliance to varying degrees.Conclusions:Exercise interventions have achieved positive outcomes in stroke survivors. In the future, medical and nursing personnel can incorporate patient preferences into exercise intervention plans while ensuring patient safety to promote rehabilitation.

Objective:To conduct an overview of systematic reviews on the safety and effectiveness of early mobilization in stroke patients.Methods:Systematic reviews of early mobilization in stroke were electronically searched on China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, VIP, Chinese Biology Medicine, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, Embase, and the Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Health Care Center Database. The search period was from database establishment to May 2023. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening, data extraction, and methodological quality evaluation of the included literature, as well as evidence summary and grading.Results:A total of 10 systematic reviews were included. The methodological quality evaluation showed that one article was of medium quality, two articles were of low quality, and seven articles were of extremely low quality. The evidence quality evaluation indicated that there were three pieces of high-quality evidence, 17 pieces of medium-quality evidence, 21 pieces of low-quality evidence, and 17 pieces of extremely low-quality evidence.Conclusions:Early mobilization is beneficial for improving the daily living ability and limb motor function of stroke patients, reducing the incidence of complications, shortening hospital stay, and enhancing their walking ability in the short term. However, the quality of evidence in the systematic review is relatively low, and further improvement is needed in the research design of early mobilization intervention measures to provide strong support for clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the current status and influencing factors of physical activity (PA) among stroke survivors. Methods A total of 203 stroke survivors were selected as the research subjects using convenient sampling method. General information questionnaire, Stroke Self-efficacy Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale, Modified Rankin Scale, International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Long Form, Fatigue Severity Scale, and European Five-Dimension Health Scale were used for questionnaire survey. Based on the health ecological model, hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of PA among stroke survivors. Results Using metabolic equivalents (MET) to quantify energy expenditure, the weekly PA energy expenditure of 203 stroke survivors was 693.0 (0, 1 386.0) MET. The results of hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis showed that personal traits (stroke staging), behavioral characteristics and psychology (Modified Rankin Scale score, fatigue severity, stroke recovery self-efficacy), and interpersonal networks (perceived social support-friend support dimension) were the main influencing factors of PA among stroke survivors (

Objective:
To investigate the effects of physical activity (PA) intensity and sedentary behavior (SB) on calcanues bone mineral density (BMD) in preschool children, so as to provide a basis for rationalizing the daily physical activity of preschool children to promote bone health.
Methods:
A total of 673 pre school children aged 3-6 years from nine kindergartens in Pingxiang City, Ganzhou City and Yingtan City of Jiangxi Province, were selected from September to December 2021 by using the whole stratified cluster random sampling method. The PA levels and SB were measured by using a three axis acceleration sensor, and left calcanues BMD was measured by an ultrasound bone densitometer. Multiple linear regression was used to explore the effects of changes in PA on calcanues BMD in pre school children of all ages.
Results:
Of the 673 preschoolers surveyed, 498 (74.0%) achieved an average of ≥60 min of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) per day, there were 265 boys (71.2%), and 233 girls ( 77.4 %). The difference between genders was not statistically significant ( χ 2=2.77, P >0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the BMD test of the calcaneus bones of preschoolers by gender ( Z=0.42, P >0.05). The difference in BMD results of pre school children with 3, 4, 5 to 6 years was statistically significant ( H=2.65, P <0.05). Correlation analysis revealed a negative correlation between SB duration and calcaneus BMD ( r =-0.13), and a positive correlation between low intensity physical activity (LPA) duration, MVPA duration, and calcaneus BMD ( r =0.14, 0.25 ) ( P <0.05). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that SB duration negatively correlated with calcaneus BMD, whereas LPA and MVPA duration positively correlated with calcaneus BMD ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
MVPA duration is positively correlated with the growth of BMD in the heel bone and negatively correlated with SB. The kindergartens can adjust their curricula according to the physical and mental developmental characteristics, gender and age differences of pre school children, increase the time of outdoor activities, and reduce the sedentary time to promote the bone health of young children.

Methods The medical records of registered tuberculosis patients in Liaoning Province from 2016 to 2022 were collected from the "Tuberculosis Information Management System" in the "China Disease Prevention and Control Information System" subsystem. Statistical analysis was performed for sputum coating, sputum culture, and molecular biology testing. Results From 2016 to 2022, a total of 152 778 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were registered in Liaoning Province. The detection rate of sputum smear microscopy was 98.03% (149 775/152 778), the detection rate of sputum culture was 20.72% (31 661/152 778), and the detection rate of molecular biology testing was 20.21% (30 737/152 778). From 2018 to 2022, the rate of molecular biological detection showed an increasing trend (χ2trend=7 104.466, P<0.01), while from 2016 to 2021, the detection rate of sputum culture showed an increasing trend, with statistical significance (χ2trend=3,068.701, P<0.01). The sputum smear detection rate showed a downward trend(χ2trend=689.913, P<0.01). . There were significant differences in the results of sputum smear microscopy, sputum culture, and molecular biology testing, as confirmed by the McNemar test (P<0.01). The positive rate of pathogenic academics increased from 26.27% in 2016 to 51.55% in 2022, showing a yearly upward trend (χ2trend=5 262.863, P<0.01), with significant differences between each year (χ2=5 686.935, P<0.01). Among pulmonary tuberculosis patients with positive pathogenic microorganisms, the proportion of sputum smear-positive cases decreased from 94.32% to 52.36%, showing a downward trend (χ2trend=5 010.104, P<0.01). The proportion of culture-positive cases increased from 5.68% in 2016 to 12.83% in 2022, showing an upward trend (χ2trend=122.501, P<0.01). In Liaoning Province, molecular biology testing has been carried out since 2018, and the proportion of molecular biology-positive cases increased from 11.51% to 34.81%, showing an increasing trend (χ2trend=1 969.326, P<0.01). The number of positive patients in molecular biological tests in municipal hospitals accounted for 18.69% (8 386/44 778) of etiological positive patients, while the number of positive patients in county-level hospitals accounted for 13.61% (2 439/17 924) of etiological positive patients, with significant differences (χ2=231.594, P<0.01). Conclusions The implementation of molecular biology testing for tuberculosis in Liaoning Province is one of the main measures to improve the positive rate of etiology, and it helps to diagnose tuberculosis patients timely and accurately

Objective:To explore the influence of head nurse empowerment on nurses′ voice behavior and the mediating and moderating effects of nurses′ job crafting and proactive personality.Methods:A total of 805 nurses from the 4 grade A hospitals in Shandong province from February to March 2022 were selected by convenience sampling method, the Nurse Managers′ Empowering Behavioral Scale For Staff Nurses, Job Crafting Scale, Voice Behavior Scale and Proactive Personality Scale were used for cross-sectional survey. The mediating effect was analyzed by SPSS 26.0 and Process 3.4 macro.Results:The total score of nurses′ perception of head nurse empowerment was (4.01 ± 0.57) points, the total score of nurses′ job crafting was (4.19 ± 0.66) points, the total score of nurses′ voice behavior was (4.12 ± 0.62) points, and the total score of nurses′ proactive personality was (6.07 ± 0.90) points. Head nurse empowerment, nurse job crafting, voice behavior and proactive personality were positively correlated with each other ( r values were 0.483-0.824, all P<0.01). The mediating effect of job crafting was 0.541, accounting for 86.4% of the total effect; proactive personality had a positive moderating effect on the first half path of the mediation model ( ? R 2=0.163, P<0.01). Conclusions:Head nurse empowerment influenced voice behavior of nurses directly and indirectly through the mediating role of job crafting, proactive personality can moderate the effect of head nurse empowerment on nurse job crafting. It is suggested that the head nurse appropriately delegate power to the nurses and actively authorize them, identify nurses with high proactive personality, stimulate their job remodeling and voice behavior, and improve the quality of nursing work.

Objective:To study risk factors and clinical outcomes of nosocomial infection (NI) in extremely premature infants (EPIs).Methods:From January 2017 to December 2021, EPIs admitted to NICU of our hospital were retrospectively studied. The infants were assigned into NI group and non-NI group. The NI group were further assigned into survival group and death group. Single factor analysis was conducted using chi-square test, t-test and non-parametric test. Multiple logistic regression was used to analyze risk factors of NI and death.Results:A total of 115 cases were enrolled, including 67 (58.3%) in NI group, 54 in survival group and 12 in death group. One case gave up treatment. 48 cases were in non-NI group. 81 episodes of nosocomial infections occurred in NI group and the case infection rate was 70.4% (81/115). 48 cases (41.7%) had late-onset sepsis, 14 (12.2%) neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis, 13 (11.3%) pneumonia, 1 (0.9%) urinary tract infection and 1 (0.9%) thrush. Hemodynamic significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) and long duration of parenteral nutrition were independent risk factors for NI in EPIs ( P<0.05). The incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) (100.0% vs. 70.8%) and mortality (17.9% vs. 2.1%) in NI group was higher than non-NI group ( P<0.05). Septic shock was an independent risk factor for the death due to NI. Conclusions:The incidence of NI in EPIs is high. hsPDA and long duration of parenteral nutrition are independent risk factors for NI in EPIs. EPIs with NI have high incidence of BPD and mortality and septic shock is an independent risk factor for death.
