ABSTRACT
This paper interviewed a case of patient with gender dysphoria via a bio-psycho-social approach. The client, a 21-year-old college student of male sex, had been into female dressing since the age of ten. As an adult, he became increasingly convinced that he should become a woman and began taking hormone therapy in secret and on an irregular basis. He felt himself trapped in a cycle of anxiety and distress, due to the concerns about the side effects of hormone therapy, and the practical problems regarding the impact on his academic and career arrangements, as well as the ways to explain himself to his parents. Through a remote psychiatric consultation, therapists provided targeted interventions based on the bio-psycho-social model.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of long-term walking exercise on the health status of low-labor-intensity population under long-term walking exercise.Methods A total of 100 volunteer teachers from universities in Beijing were enrolled.After physical examination,they were randomly divided into control group and observation group.The observation group regularly carried out corresponding encouragingactivities and recorded the daily number of steps.The corresponding indexes were measured again after 450 days.Results 45.24% participants in the observation group got more than 75% participation rate.The lower the participation rate,the lower the average daily steps (P < 0.05).The fasting blood glucose,systolic blood pressure,LDL and total cholesterol were lower than other groups in the group participation rate <25% (P <0,05).The body mass index,systolic blood pressure,fasting blood glucose,total cholesterol,ratio diabetes and hypertension in low activities group (< 7 500 steps/day) were lower than those in other groups (P < 0.05).Conclusions Walking exercise can achieve good long-term persistence with constant feedback.For those who are older and whose initial indicators are higher,participation rate and exercise volume are more likely to be better under the guidance of encouragement.Persisting long-term walking exercise can help reduce blood pressure and blood lipids.
