Linking Perceived Risk of Public Health Emergency to Psychological Distress among Chinese College Students: The Chain Mediation Role of Balanced Time Perspective and Negative Coping Styles

Background:With public health emergencies(PHE)worldwide increasing,the perceived risk of PHE has been one of the critical factors influencing college students’psychological distress.However,the mechanisms by which the perceived risk of PHE affects college students’psychological distress are not clear.The study’s purpose was to investigate the mediation roles of deviation from a balanced time perspective(DBTP)and negative coping styles between the perceived risk of PHE and psychological distress.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to survey 1054 Chinese college students with self-reporting.Data was collected using the Public Risk Perception Scale(PRPS),the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory(ZTPI),the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire(SCSQ),the PHE Anxiety Scale,and the Chinese version of the Patient Health Questionnaire(PHQ).The associations between the perceived risk of PHE,DBTP,negative coping styles,and psychological distress were clarified using the correlation analysis.Additionally,the mediating roles of DBTP and negative coping styles between the perceived risk of PHE and psychological distress were investigated using a structural equation model.Results:The findings revealed low to moderate correlations between the variables studied.Students’perceived risk of PHE was a positive predictor of their psychological distress(b=0.219,p<0.01).DBTP and negative coping styles played chain mediation roles between them with the effect being 0.009 and a 95%Boot CI of[0.003,0.023].This chain mediation model had an excellent fit index(χ^(2)/df=4.732,CFI=0.973,TLI=0.930,RMSEA=0.048,SRMR=0.047).Conclusion:These findings showed how the perceived risk of PHE affected college students’psychological distress.Specifically,these results suggested that improving students’mental ability to switch effectively among different time perspectives depending on task features and situational considerations and reducing their negative coping styles might be effective ways to promote their mental health.

HIV/AIDS related perception and behavior: A comparative study among college students of different majors in China

Objective:In order to carry out proper education and intervention of AIDS based on different features and demands of different majors,this study aimed to compare the difference of college students from six majors in China in the aspects of AIDS-related knowledge,attitudes and behaviors.Methods:A questionnaire survey was carried out among 18,644 students in 30 colleges/universities from 9 provinces of China,who were recruited through stratified cluster sampling.AIDS-related knowledge,attitude,condom-use intention,self-efficacy and sexual behavior of these students were investigated.Results:AIDS-related knowledge level of students majoring in education was the lowest while that of medical students was the highest as well as highest self-efficacy of condom use.Students of music or fine arts had the strongest intention to use condoms,while the students majoring in education had the weakest.The sexually active percentages of male students from different majors ranked as follows:music or fine arts(29.5%),minority nationality(12.2%),science&tech(10.9%),medicine(10.6%),educationmajor(10.0%),and liberal arts(8.2%).Among female students,the rank was music or fine arts(11.0%),science&tech(6.2%),education-major school(4.5%),minority nationality(4.5%),liberal arts(4.1%),and medicine(2.8%).Conclusion:It is urgent to enhance proper AIDS-related education and intervention based on the features and demands of students from different majors or universities,for example,to enhance comprehensive AIDS prevention education among students major in education and to increase behavioral skills to prevent sexually transmitted diseases among students from colleges or faculty of music or fine arts.

Frequency of presenting visual acuity and visual impairment in Chinese college students

AIM:To obtain the baseline data on presenting visual acuity(PVA)and evaluate the prevalence and associated factors for visual impairment based on PVA in 9070 Chinese college students.METHODS:The freshmen at a university in southern China,including 6527 undergraduate students and 2543 graduate students,were investigated for some sociodemographic characteristics and underwent routine medical examination,including measuring PVA,height,and weight.Visual impairment was defined according to the new World Health Organization criteria for blindness and visual impairment.RESULTS:In 9070 college students,the mean PVA in the better eye was 0.094±0.163 log MAR.The prevalence of visual impairment based on PVA was 2.7%.Only 38.3%college students had normal visual acuity[PVA equal to 0 log MAR(20/20)in both eyes].There were 69.8%of students wearing spectacles.Logistic regression showed that home region(non-Guangdong provinces,P<0.0001,OR=1.70)was risk factor for visual impairment while BMI(P=0.001,OR=0.92)was protective factor from visual impairment.Ethnicity(Han Chinese,P<0.0001,OR=3.17)was risk factor for wearing spectacles while age(P=0.01,OR=0.90)was protective factor from wearing spectacles.CONCLUSION:This study provides the baseline data on PVA and the prevalence of visual impairment in Chinese college students.Our analyses reveal that BMI and home region are associated factors for visual impairment based on PVA,while age and ethnicity are associated factors for wearing spectacles.

Chinese college students' understanding of Internet ethical issues: A survey of awareness

Purpose: This study examines Chinese college students’ awareness of ethical issues surrounding the use of information resources and the Internet and their attitude to these issues. Design/methodology/approach: A survey was conducted. Two hundred questionnaires were distributed to students of 9 universities at different levels in Tianjin, China; 171 were returned. Descriptive statistics were performed to analyze the data. Findings: The results indicate that Chinese college students usually ignored the negative influence of fake or pornographic or other indecent information, invasion of privacy and theft of confidential information, and violation of intellectual property rights. Although they could distinguish to some extent between ethical and unethical behavior, they were not concerned about others’ unethical behavior on the Web. The study also indicates that gender, age, academic major and expertise in using computers were related to the students’ awareness of ethical issues relating to the use of the Internet and their attitude to these issues.Research limitations: The sample is limited to the universities in Tianjin. A larger sample, which includes colleges and universities in the western or other developing areas in China, is needed to further validate our findings.Practical implications: The study helps educators and academic librarians better understand Chinese college students’ awareness of and attitude to ethical issues surrounding the use of the Internet. It thus could assist them in the improvement of information ethics education for college students.Originality/value: This study was one of the first empirical studies to investigate the factors influencing Chinese college students’ awareness of and attitude to Internet ethical issues.
