Abstract Background: First aid provided in public places is life-saving when unexpected emergencies, such as cardiac arrests occur. Security guards who constantly patrol public places can perform or assist cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in cardiac arrest situations if they are appropriately trained. However, little is known about the status quo of the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of CPR among the security guards in China .Aims: This study aims to investigate the current status quo and explore the influencing factors of the KAP of CPR among security guards, and provide guidance for developing CPR training programs for them in China.Methods: We conducted a convenience sampling on the security guards from 2 tertiary hospitals, 1 airport, 16 commercial buildings, 10 supermarkets and 14 residential complexes in China. Data was collected from the questionnaire about the KAP of CPR given to the security guards enrolled. Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors of the KAP of CPR.Results: The total scores of each element, the knowledge on CPR among security guards was (25.72±12.31), attitude (31.99±3.94), practice (20.89±4.54), and the total score (78.60±14.70). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that, the workplace of security guards, previous occupations, previous exposure, training and performance of CPR, age, and educational background were the main factors affecting the KAP of CPR of the security guards (all of the P values <0.05).Conclusions: The KAP of CPR among the security guards in Shanghai needs further improvement. The training and intervention program should combine their cultural background, educational background and other influencing factors to improve the level of CPR and first aid ability of security guards.

To investigate the knowledge-attitude-practice (KAP) score in diabetes patients living in urban China regarding Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) and explore the influencing factors, this national survey recruited diabetes and prediabetes patients in 40 hospitals across 26 provinces in China. A self-designed questionnaire was used to collect the data and assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding MNT. Logistic regression was used to explore the factor influencing KAP scores. A total of 6441 diabetes patients (mean age: 60.02±13.14 years) completed this survey. The mean glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level was 8.12±2.12%, and the control rate of HbA1c (HbA1c < 7.0%) was 38.92%. Of the total, 53.56% had received MNT education. Over half of the patients had a poor total KAP score as well as poor K, A, and P scores. Patients with higher KAP scores had higher control rate of HbA1c (P<0.05) but lower levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose (2h-PG). Gender, occupation, residence, education level, and MNT education could influence the KAP scores (P<0.05). This study showed that diabetes patients in urban China generally had poor understandings and practices related to MNT. Patients with higher KAP scores exhibited better control of blood glucose.

Diabetes Mellitus is chronic disease affecting the people of all age groups around the globe. It is a very common disorder which causes high levels of sugar in the blood stream. High levels of blood glucose can damage the tiny blood vessels in our heart, eyes, kidneys and nervous system. Diabetes is fast gaining the status of a potential epidemic in India with more than 62 million diabetic individuals currently diagnosed with the disease. Invasive method is the most common method used to measure the blood glucose level which involves blood loss and pain. In the proposed proposal, a novel device has been designed to measure and monitor the blood glucose levels non-invasively. This device measures the blood glucose by spectroscopy technique using Red laser, in which the red laser shows better transmission and linearity when it passes through the blood. It measures the glucose value by detecting refractive index of transmitted light which is based on the principle of Snell’s law. The device will be further designed and fabricated in the form of a band to monitor blood glucose continuously.

Overall Performance

In this issue of Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology, Baumstark et al. evaluated the analytical performance of a bench-top laboratory glucose analyzer (SUPER-GL) intended for replacement for the YSI2300-STAT analyzer, that served for several decades as a comparator method in clinical and analytical studies of blood glucose monitoring systems (BGMS). The authors concluded that the SUPER-GL’s overall performance is comparable to that of YSI2300-STAT, and has the potential to be a candidate comparator analyzer. However, the question is if we need to recommend as a “comparator method,” a specific device, that measure glucose using the same analytical method with most BGMS. In this analysis we present our point of view hoping to generate a discussion on the necessity for such a replacement.
