ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To investigate the influencing factors behind the follow-up compliance of patients with low/no phenylketonuria (PKU) for special medical use, in order to provide a basis for regulating the follow-up of PKU patients and ensuring the effectiveness of special diet treatment. 【Methods】 A survey was conducted on PKU patients treated in Urumqi Maternal and Child Health Hospital for over 1 year, from January 2010 to December 2020. Interviews and questionnaires were conducted with their caregivers to collect and analyze the current status of PKU patients undergoing special diet treatment, and to identify the influencing factors behind their compliance with follow-up treatment. 【Results】 Patients who had received neonatal disease screening, neonatal gene diagnosis, and maternal Down′s screening during pregnancy had better compliance, with statistically significant differences (χ2=5.753, 10.993, 9.189, P<0.05). PKU children with parents who had a college education or above showed significantly higher adherence to special diet treatment (χ2=8.321, 7.415, P<0.05). PKU children with parents having a fixed occupation also showed higher compliance, with a statistically significant difference (χ2=20.626, 7.895, P<0.05). Patient age, interval of buying special diet, number of blood samples sent and enrollment of normal age, all had a significant impact on the follow-up compliance of PKU patients with special diet (χ2=19.443, 8.090, 69.482, 12.001, P<0.05). 【Conclusions】 PKU is a treatable genetic metabolic disease. Strengthening health education, formulating standardized follow-up plans and procedures, and improving follow-up treatment compliance are crucial in enhancing the treatment and follow-up effectiveness of PKU patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To assess the levels of self-compassion, psychological resilience, and academic adjustment of undergraduate students in a military medical university, and analyze their influencing factors and interactions.Methods:A total of 341 undergraduate students were selected by convenience and purposive sampling in a military medical university from April to May, 2022 for surveys with the General Information Questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Self-Compassion Scale, the Chinese version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Academic Adjustment Scale for College Students. The collected data were analyzed through univariable analysis and multiple linear regression analysis to determine the influencing factors. AMOS 23.0 was used for path analysis.Results:The scores of self-compassion, psychological resilience, and academic adjustment of the students were at slightly high levels, with a significant positive correlation between one and another ( r s=0.580-0.611, all P<0.001). The influencing factors included professional identity, the level of received support, grade, time spent in student clubs, and the plan of postgraduate study (all P<0.05). The standardized direct effect of self-compassion on academic adjustment was 0.285 ( P=0.001), and the sum of the standardized mediating effects of psychological resilience and professional identity on self-compassion and academic adjustment was 0.314 ( P=0.001). The total mediating effect accounted for 52.42% of the total effect. Conclusions:The levels of self-compassion, psychological resilience, and academic adjustment of undergraduate students in the military medical university are influenced by multiple factors. Relevant departments should pay attention to specific populations and take targeted measures to increase the students' self-compassion, psychological resilience, and academic adjustment.
