“…As a result, with the same frequency of media use, urban elderly had higher levels of self-efficacy to improve health literacy than rural ones. Some previous studies discussed the urban-rural gap of self-efficacy (55) and the moderating effect of urban-rural residency (56), which was similar to our findings.…”

ObjectivesThe influence of media use on health literacy among urban and rural elderly has been unknown in China. This study aims to examine the association between media use and health literacy and to explore the mediating role of self-efficacy and the moderating role of urban-rural residency.MethodsBased on the cross-sectional study of the Psychology and Behavior Investigation of Chinese Residents (PBICR) in 2022, a total of 4,070 Chinese old people aged 60 years and above were included. We adopted the simplified New General Self-Efficacy Scale (NGSES) and the simplified Health Literacy Scale-Short Form (HLS-SF) to measure self-efficacy and health literacy. Media use was measured using a self-administrated questionnaire.ResultsResults showed that Chinese urban elderly had a higher frequency of media use than rural ones in the aspects of social activities, self-presentation, social action, leisure and entertainment, information acquisition, and business transactions through media (P < 0.001). Among all participants, self-presentation (B = 0.217, 95% CI: 0.040, 0.394), leisure and entertainment (B = 0.345, 95% CI: 0.189, 0.502), and information acquisition (B = 0.918, 95% CI: 0.761, 1.076) were significantly associated with health literacy. Self-efficacy partially mediated the effect of media use on health literacy (Bindirect = 0.045, 95% CI: 0.032, 0.058), accounting for 18.37% of the total effect. Urban-rural residency (B = 0.049, 95% CI: 0.024, 0.075) moderated the relationship between media use and self-efficacy significantly.ConclusionThe urban-rural gap in health literacy requires more attention. The promotion of media use and self-efficacy may play a role in eliminating health disparities.LimitationsAs a cross-sectional study, it could not establish cause-effect relationships.

“…Regionally, we found that the prevalence of high blood pressure in urban areas was significantly higher than in suburban areas, which may be related to the higher consumption of fried and high-sugar foods leading to a higher probability of obesity in urban areas, [ 22 ] greater academic pressure in urban areas relative to suburbs, [ 23 ] and relatively less greenery and more severe air pollution in cities. [ 24 ] In terms of gender and age, the prevalence of high blood pressure showed a rapid upward trend after the onset of puberty, with greater fluctuations, especially among females, which is consistent with the results of Ye et al [ 25 ] We believe that this is related to the significant differences in hormone levels between childhood and puberty.…”

There is growing evidence that the prevalence of high blood pressure is increasing, and it may have serious consequences. However, research on the prevalence and influencing factors of high blood pressure among primary and secondary school students is still relatively scarce. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of high blood pressure among primary and secondary school students in Shenyang, in order to provide scientific evidence for the prevention and management of this disease. From April to May 2020, 4892 students aged 7 to 17 years were selected as the survey subjects, and on-site physical measurements and questionnaire surveys were conducted. The prevalence of high blood pressure was described. Restricted cubic spline was used to analyze the dose-response relationship between sleep duration, BMI and the risk of high blood pressure. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors. Multiplicative and additive models were used to analyze the interaction between sleep duration and BMI. The results showed that the overall prevalence of high blood pressure among students aged 7 to 17 years in Shenyang was 9.9%, with a higher prevalence in females than males (12.1% vs 7.9%) and in urban areas than suburban areas (11.8% vs 7.7%). The prevalence was lowest in students with normal weight (8.3%) and highest in those who were obese (12.5%). The prevalence fluctuated to some extent among different age groups, but overall, it increased with age, with the lowest prevalence in primary school students (7.0%), 11.4% in mild school students, and the highest prevalence of 14.3% in high school students. Multivariable analysis showed that the risk of high blood pressure in female students was 1.90 times higher than that in male students (95% CI: 1.54–2.35), and the risk in suburban areas was 0.65 times lower than that in urban areas (95% CI: 0.52–0.81). Students with a BMI ≥ 21 kg/m2 had a 1.58 times higher risk than those with a BMI < 21 kg/m2(95% CI: 1.28–1.96), while those with a sleep time ≥ 8 hours had a 0.80 times lower risk than those with a sleep time < 8 hours (95% CI: 0.65–0.99). Exercise can significantly reduce the risk of high blood pressure, while using electronic devices for more than 0.5 hours significantly increases the risk of high blood pressure. BMI and sleep duration have no interaction effect on the risk of high blood pressure. To reduce the prevalence of high blood pressure, students should reduce the use of electronic devices, ensure adequate exercise, maintain a reasonable weight, and ensure sufficient sleep.

“…This study's demographic consists of university students enrolled in educational institutions located in the Chinese city of Shangrao. In the Shangrao region, these students represent a diverse cross-section of individuals pursuing higher education in a variety of disciplines and academic levels (Lin et al, 2022). The population of 6,579,714 students, consists of graduate students from various faculties and departments, each contributing unique perspectives and experiences to the communicationfocused study (Cucas, 2022;Guest et al, 2020).…”

At present communication ability of counselors is more important for students to have a smooth education period in university life. The current study aimed to identify the exploration and reflection on the communication ability of university counselors from China. This study applied a mixed-mode research method. For thesis development, the current study has conducted a pilot study on the measurement scale reliability and tests the measurements of this research. Based on the mixed-mode pilot analysis this study has identified that every variable has strong consistency. Regarding the communication abilities of Chinese counselors, role play, involvement, academic challenges, psychology, and self-efficacy are among the significant findings uncovered by the mixed-mode pilot analysis. Future research and practice in the fields of education, personal development, and decision-making may be influenced by these insights.
