“…According to traditional Chinese beliefs, ventilation and cold should be prevented for the mothers and children during confinement during childbirth. Therefore, we recommend that public media, especially online media, reinforce the publicity of COVID-19 prevention knowledge and skills [ 20 ], significantly improving people's prevention ability [ 21 ].…”

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the healthcare knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of primary caregivers of newborns with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during the pandemic in Chongqing, China, and analyze the influencing factors. Methods: The study included primary caregivers of COVID-19 newborns hospitalized in our institution from December 2022 to January 2023. A questionnaire survey was initiated to assess the caregivers' health-care knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors for COVID-19 and the influencing factors. The data were analyzed statistically. Results: A total of 195 caregivers were included, one for each infant with COVID-19. The questionnaire consisted of three dimensions. For the knowledge dimension, the top scoring items were wearing masks in public spaces (4.92 ± 0.087), strengthening hand hygiene (4.83 ± 0.164), and frequent ventilation in living environment (4.62 ± 0.331) in order; for the attitude dimension, the top three scoring items were wearing masks in public spaces (4.85 ± 0.353), strengthening hand washing and disinfection (4.72 ± 0.450), and regular ventilation (4.49 ± 0.501). For the behavior dimension, the top three were confidence in winning the challenge of the pandemic (4.71 ± 0.480), standardized wearing of masks in public spaces/confined spaces (4.68 ± 0.589), and high satisfaction with community epidemic prevention measures (4.67 ± 0.496). Among the influencing factors, fear of COVID-19 was the independent risk indicator for the caregivers' anxiety (OR = 38.085, 95% CI = 14.383-100.664) and fear of COVID-19 (OR = 8.170, 95%CI = 2.156-30.957) and fever (OR = 10.213, 95% CI = 1.972-52.892) were the independent risk indicators for depression. Conclusion: The study shows a key link between caregiver knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and neonatal COVID-19 infection, with a gap between knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. Caregivers, especially those dealing with premature infants, worried about mother-to-child transmission and experienced multiple births, face significant psychological stress during this phase of the pandemic.

“…During the COVID-19 pandemic, China implemented a drastic Zero-COVID strategy that involved social isolation measures such as home quarantine and restricted movement of people, causing psychological strain on isolated people (Z. Peng et al, 2023). To reduce the anxiety they feel when isolated at home, some informants turn to online activities.…”

The aging population is China’s most daunting challenge of the coming decades and has brought about profound consequences for Chinese society. Drawing upon the ethnographic work conducted in Guangzhou city from 2020 to 2023, the present study aims to show some most recent development regarding intergenerational reciprocity among older adults’ aging experience in urban China. The ethnographic accounts reveal the emergence of a concept termed “self-reliant elders” (省心老人), which represents a departure from traditional cultural norms that emphasize grandchild care as the primary source of psychological and economic well-being for the elderly. Instead, these individuals prioritize independence in their later years and actively seek alternatives to family care, such as engaging in social activities and pursuing employment, to maintain a sense of being cared for and to uphold their self-worth. Concurrently, they also invest efforts in fostering harmonious relationships with younger generations through family-oriented activities and online communication. As China faces the challenges posed by its aging population, it becomes crucial to implement practical measures that enhance access to elderly care resources and support the self-reliance of older adults in order to address the emerging trend of aging.

“…Combining the three important characteristics of the resilience system, namely "resistance, recovery, and adaptation", and based on the "National Emergency Plan for Public Health Emergencies", "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases", "Emergency Response Law of the People's Republic of China", and the Capability Assessment for Readiness (C.A.R) [17] for Emergency Management in the United States, and by analyzing previous relevant research [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29], grasping the connotation and characteristics of urban resilience, a comprehensive evaluation index system reflecting the emergency response capabilities of cities when facing public health emergencies was constructed. The evaluation indicators for urban emergency resilience are divided into two levels: criterion-level indicators, which include resistance, recovery, and adaptation capabilities, and indicator-level indicators, which are factors that reflect the criterion-level indicators, totaling 22 items as shown in Table 2.…”

In recent years, there have been frequent outbreaks of public health emergencies worldwide, especially resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, which has seriously affected social and economic development and people’s production and life. In order to avoid or minimize the harm caused by these emergencies to society and the public, this article constructs a resilience indicator system for urban emergency response capabilities based on resistance, adaptation, and recovery. We establish a dynamic model of urban emergency response resilience, select the infectious disease dynamics method as the index weight calculation method, analyze the correlations among various indicators and parameters of the urban emergency response resilience system, and conduct sensitivity analysis on the model parameters to determine the importance sequence of each model parameter. Combined with the fuzzy hierarchy analysis method, we evaluate the model and use the 2021 year-end epidemic in Xi’an as an example to evaluate the urban emergency response resilience level using the evaluation model. According to the maximum membership degree principle, the results show that the emergency resilience levels of Xi’an were “moderately strong”, “moderately strong”, and “strong” in the first, second, and third stages of the epidemic, respectively. The results demonstrate that the method proposed in this article can objectively reflect the current level of urban emergency resilience and provide some references and guidance for improving the resilience of urban emergency response to public health emergencies.
