ObjectiveTo explore family care and its influence on the life quality of schizophrenia patients. MethodsBetween September 2011 and March 2012, 101 schizophrenia patients were investigated with Questionnaire of Family Care and Quality of Life Inventory and were divided into two groups in order to compare their life quality. According to the scores of Questionnaire of Family Care, 56 subjects were in support group and 45 subjects were in control group. ResultsAmong the 101 patients, 55.45% had good family care and 44.55% had not. In the support group, there was no significant correlation between family care and life quality in the first month and the third month (r=0.023, P=0.894; r=-0.072, P=0.587), while there was a significant correlation between family care and life quality in the sixth month (r=-0.322, P=0.032). In the control group, there was no significant differences in the score of family care and life quality in the first, third and sixth month (r=0.021, P=0.893; r=0.114, P=0.482; r=1.863, P=0.226). ConclusionLong-term family care is significantly correlated with the life quality of schizophrenia patients. If schizophrenic patients get more poor family care, they will have lower life quality. It's important to create a good and comfortable environment for the patients.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of internet game addiction among middle school students. Methods Students from a certain district in Sichuan between September 2022 and March 2023 were included as participants. Basic information such as gender, age, whether the subjects were only children, place of residence, parental education, and subjective economic status were investigated. The nine-item Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-short form was used to investigate whether participants had internet game addiction, and the Berkman-Syme Social Network Index was used to evaluate the participants’ social level. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to conduct multivariate analysis to explore the influencing factors of internet game addiction. Results A total of 594 questionnaires were distributed, and 592 valid questionnaires were ultimately obtained. The detection rate of internet game addiction was 12.0%. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender (t=−8.281, P<0.001), age (t=3.211, P=0.001), subjective economic status in the region (t=2.025, P=0.043), and social level (t=−4.239, P<0.001) were the influencing factors of online game addiction. Due to the P value was close to the set test level (0.05), subjective economic status in the region was not considered an influencing factor of internet game addiction. Conclusion Teenagers with male gender, older age, and lower social skills are more likely to develop addiction to internet games.
Objective To investigate the level and influencing factors of perceived HIV stigma and discrimination among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Methods By using convenience sampling method, 123 patients were recruited from the department of infectious diseases in a tertiary hospital in Chengdu from April to May in 2017. Berger HIV stigma scale was used to measure the level of perceived HIV stigma. Results The mean score of Berger HIV stigma scale was 113.72±17.890, which revealed a middle to upper level. Among the four subscales, the score of disclosure concerns (3.07±0.462) was the highest, while the score of negative self-image (2.70±0.494) was the lowest. Multiple regression analysis showed that gender and self-perceived health status were the influencing factors of perceived HIV stigma. Conclusions The level of perceived HIV stigma among PLWHA is from middle to upper level. Female gender and poor self-perceived health status are associated with a higher level of perceived HIV stigma. Individualized interventions are required in order to reduce the level of HIV stigma.
Objective To explor the influence of the hospital-community-family mental rehabilitation mode on the quality of life of patients with schizophrenia. Methods We selected 101 patients diagnosed as schizophrenia according to ICD-10, who were hospitalized in mental health center of the West China Hospital and took part in rehabilitation voluntarily after discharge. Those patients were randomly assigned to two groups. Hospital-community-family mental rehabilitation mode intervention was applied to the patients based on inpatient rehabilitation in the trial group (n=52), while inpatient rehabilitation alone was applied in the control group (n=49). The total score of quality of life, psycho-social dimension, motivation and energy dimension, score of mental disability and social function, and family social care index were recorded. Then, statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 17.0 software. Results After 3 months and 6 months, the trial group had lower scores of the total score of quality of life, psycho-social domain, and motive and energy dimension than those of the control group (Plt;0.05). After 6 months, the trial group had lower scores of mental disability and social function (Plt;0.05) but a higher score of family social care index (Plt;0.05). The scores of WHO-DSA II and SQLS were positively correlated, while the scores of APGAR and SQLS were negatively correlated. Conclusion The integral mode of hospital-community-family mental rehabilitation effectively improves the quality of life of patients with schizophrenia, which also positively improves patients’ rehabilitation.
