Debugging Strategies for Parents' Educational Anxiety in the Transition from Kindergarten to Primary School--Based on the Theory of Mature Forces

Due to the rapid growth of the economy and society,the burden of social security has been increasingly escalating,resulting in a continuous rise in parenting stress among certain groups of parents.On one hand,these parents aspire for their young children to grow through play;on the other hand,they are acutely aware that early childhood education constitutes the foundational stage of basic education and serves as the commencement phase of lifelong learning.Thus,they recognize the importance of emphasizing early childhood education.Therefore,preschool education has been given important significance.Parents place particular emphasis on education during this stage.They actively leverage their educational,financial,and social advantages to create favorable educational resources and opportunities for their young children.However,to a certain extent,this exacerbates educational anxiety among a segment of parents.Despite the implementation of various governmental measures,it appears that these initiatives have not fundamentally addressed parental educational anxiety at its root.This study employs interview techniques and literature review methodologies to gain a profound understanding of parental educational anxiety during the transition from early childhood to primary education.By integrating Gesell's Maturation Theory,this research aims to scientifically explicate the developmental patterns of children.Consequently,it endeavors to enable non-professional parents to adopt a"professional"perspective in their approach towards early childhood education.

Acceptability of Physical Examination by Male Doctors in Medical Care:Taking Breast Palpation as an Example

In this study,we conducted an investigation among medical workers,patients and college students concerning their acceptability of breast palpation performed by male doctors（hereinafter referred to as “acceptability”,or “the examination”,respectively,if not otherwise indicated）,to get the information about their acceptability and reasons for accepting or declining the examination among the three population. A questionnaire investigation was conducted in 500 patients with breast diseases,700 students of medical colleges,and 280 medical workers working in hospitals. The subjects were asked to choose between two options： accept or do not accept（the examination）. The subjects were asked to fill out the questionnaire forms on free and anonymous basis and the questionnaire forms were collected on spot,immediately after completion. The questionnaires collected were coded,sorted out and checked. Data of the eligible questionnaires were input into Epidata software and analyzed by SPSS. Upon the establishment of the database,the intra-group data were tested by utilizing χ2 test. Among 1480 questionnaires,1293（90.41%） questionnaires were retrieved. Our results showed that 56.78% of patients reported that they could accept breast palpation by male doctors. About 59.66% of medical staff expressed their acceptance of the examination,but only 35.03% of students said the examination. On the basis of this study,we were led to conclude that the examination is not well accepted by different populations,and therefore,（1） medical professionals and administrators should pay attention to the gender-related ethics in their practice and the feeling of patients should be respected when medical examinations involve private or sensitive body parts;（2） to this end,related departments should be properly staffed with doctors of both sexes,and this is especially true of the departments involving the examination or treatment of private or sensitive body parts;（3） health education should,among other things,include helping female patients to overcome the fear and anxiety in such examinations. This is of great importance since some women may miss the opportunity to get timely diagnosis.
