Abstract Purpose: To explore the hope level and influencing factors of infertile women with first-time and repeated in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET).Methods: Patients were divided into First (first-time) and Repeat (≥2 cycles) groups, then questionnaire survey was conducted. The questionnaire included demographic information, Herth hope index (HHI) scale, Locke-Wallace short marital-adjustment test scale and social support rating scale. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the associated influencing factors with hope level.Results: A total of 298 IVF-ET patients were recruited in the study, including 150 (50.3%) in the first cycle and 148(49.7%) in the repeated cycle. The HHI score of the repeated cycle was significantly lower than that of the first cycle (34.4 ± 3.5 vs. 37.5± 3.7, P<0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that repeated IVF-ET and age was independently negatively correlated with HHI, with a standardized coefficient β of -0.895 and -0.223, both P<0.001. While high education level (P=0.002), high monthly income(P=0.020), high degree of short marital-adjustment test(P<0.001) and social support rating(P<0.001) were independently positively correlated with HHI.Conclusion: The infertile women with repeated IVF-ET have a low hope level. Maintaining a good marriage adjustment, establishing a good social support and relationship network, may effectively improve their hope level.

Abstract Purpose To explore the hope levels and influencing factors in infertile women undergoing first-time and repeated in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) cycles. Methods This study was a cross-sectional and convenient sampling study conducted among patients undergoing IVF-ET from January to June 2019. Patients were divided into first-time and repeated groups by the number of IVF-ET cycles, and then a questionnaire survey was administered. The questionnaire included demographic information, Herth hope index (HHI) scale, Locke-Wallace short marital-adjustment test scale and social support rating scale. Multiple linear regression was used to analyse the influencing factors associated with hope levels. Results A total of 298 IVF-ET patients were recruited for the study, including 150 (50.3%) in the first-time cycle group and 148 (49.7%) in the repeated cycle group. The HHI score of the repeated cycle group was significantly lower than that of the first-time cycle group (34.4 ± 3.5 vs. 37.5 ± 3.7, P < 0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that repeated IVF-ET and age were independently negatively correlated with HHI, with standardized coefficient β values of − 0.895 and − 0.223, respectively (both P < 0.001). High education level (P = 0.002), high monthly income (P = 0.020), high degree of short marital-adjustment test (P < 0.001) and social support rating (P < 0.001) were independently positively correlated with HHI. Conclusion Infertile women undergoing repeated IVF-ET have low hope levels. Maintaining a good marriage adjustment and establishing a good social support and relationship network could effectively improve their hope levels.

ObjectiveTo explore the level and influencing factors of frontline nurses’ post-traumatic growth (PTG) during COVID-19 epidemic.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted in February 2020 in three hospitals in China. The Post-traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) was used to investigate the PTG of frontline nurses. Data on related factors, including demographic characteristics and subjective variables, were collected. The Event-Related Rumination Inventory was used to assess rumination. Pearson’s or Spearman’s correlation was calculated for bivariate analysis. Independent sample t-tests or one-way analysis of variance and multiple linear regression analysis were used to examine the related factors.ResultsA total of 179 frontline nurses were recruited, and 167 were included in the analyses. The mean PTG score was 70.53±17.26. The bivariate analyses showed that deliberate rumination was modestly positively correlated with PTG (r=0.557, p<0.01), while intrusive rumination had a modest negative correlation with PTG (r=−0.413, p<0.01). Multiple linear regression demonstrated that working years, self-confidence in frontline work, awareness of risk, psychological intervention or training during the epidemic and deliberate rumination were the main influencing factors of PTG among frontline nurses and accounted for 42.5% of the variance (F=31.626, p<0.001).ConclusionsThe PTG of frontline nurses was at a medium to high level and was influenced by working years, self-confidence in frontline work, awareness of risk, psychological intervention or training and deliberate rumination. It is necessary to strengthen psychological guidance and training for frontline nurses and promote their deliberate rumination on epidemic events to improve their PTG.

Abstract Based on the factors affecting sports performance, from a more comprehensive and broad perspective, after consulting the literature, 52 factors that affect the outcome of football matches are selected, including technology, tactics, physical fitness and referees’ penalties. By watching the video of the game, 52 influencing factors of 200 games and 400 teams were counted. The original data was statistically processed with correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis, and the statistics of the 26 European Cup games were substituted into the winning formula. To verify the scientific nature and objectivity of the formula, we aim to ascertain the core factors in the winning factors of a football game and the quantitative relationship between these factors and the result of the game, so as to provide a certain reference for football training, game analysis and scientific research. The technical and tactical ability of individuals and teams is the core competitive ability factor that affects the result of the game; from a single factor, 15 factor indicators have a significant impact on the result of a football match; on the whole, 10 factor indicators have a significant effect on the result of a football match. In addition, there is a certain quantitative relationship between these influencing factors and the results of the game; empirical evidence shows that the football game winning formula has a certain degree of science and objectivity.

Background: The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has posed a severe threat to international health and the economy. Clinicians, the main staff involved in fighting against the pandemic, are under great pressure. However, relevant mental stress studies are lacking at present. Objectives: This study aimed to explore the mental stress level and its influencing factors among Chinese pediatricians under the outbreak of COVID-19, aiming to provide a certain theoretical basis for relevant psychological intervention among medical staff. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 352 in-service pediatricians were selected from nine hospitals in Jiangsu province, China, in February 2020. The online survey was performed to collect general information. Meanwhile, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scale were employed for assessment. Afterward, the stress level and influencing factors among pediatricians were analyzed through descriptive analysis, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis. Results: The mean score of PSS-10 showed moderate stress on the whole. Pediatricians from outpatient and emergency departments had significantly higher perceived stress than those from other departments. The perceived stress was significantly associated with age, educational level, professional title, work experience, and physical condition. Stepwise multiple linear regression showed that age, professional title, and physical condition had a linear relationship with the individual’s perceived stress. Besides, Pearson correlation analysis indicated that perceived stress was associated with anxiety level and sleep quality. Conclusions: Under the outbreak of COVID-19, pediatricians suffer from relatively high levels of mental stress. The influencing factors include education, age, professional title, work experience, and physical condition. Typically, the anxiety level and sleep quality are correlated with the mental stress among pediatricians.

For the first time in Italy, thanks to the contributions of Rodolfo Benini, Statistics became an autonomous discipline, finally released from economical, demographical and social sciences to which was still assimilated. The rigor and the technical refinement of his analysis justify the importance attributed to his statistical contributions, and support the fact that he has been recognised by Corrado Gini as the first round Italian statistician. Starting from the interpretation by Marcello Boldrini of his «tre mirabili opere di sistemazione», I will deepen three of the main themes linked to the statistical methodology addressed by Benini: multiple linear regression, indexes of attraction and repulsion and the distribution of economical variables. I will conclude discussing his relationship with Pareto, whose law Benini first verified on income and later extended to other economical variables.

BACKGROUND. The course and outcomes of primary IgA nephropathy in children are variable. Early therapy for high-risk individuals can help to delay the development of end-stage renal disease.THE AIM: to analysis of risk factors for progression and outcomes in children with IgA nephropathy, taking into account clinical and morphological data at the onset and during follow-up.PATIENTS AND METHODS. A retrospective study of 75 children was carried out; the median follow-up was 28 months. The median age of onset was 9.1 years. Patients were divided into 2 groups: 1st – patients with idiopathic IgA nephropathy (n= 53), 2nd – patients with Shenlein-Henoch purpura (n = 22). The diagnosis of primary IgA nephropathy was morphologically confirmed in all patients. Nephrobiopsy data were classified according to the Oxford scale (MEST-C score). The age of onset and first-time admission, the level of proteinuria and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) at the onset, at 12 months, at the end of follow-up, mean arterial blood pressure, MEST-C score, medication before nephrobiopsy were investigated. Progression was determined as a decrease in GFR less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2. Outcomes were assessed by absence/presence of remission. We provided a search for factors influencing GFR at the end of the follow-up. Data analysis was performed using Student's t-test, Mann-Whitney, χ2, Fisher, linear regression model, binary logistic regression.RESULTS. Unlike adults, the predictive value of the MEST-C score in children has not been proven and is not associated with a decrease in GFR <60 ml/min/1.73 m2. GFR at the end of follow-up was lower in the idiopathic IgA nephropathy group than in group 2. The use of multiple linear regression predicts GFR on average after 28 months of observation.RESULTS. Unlike adults, the predictive value of the MEST-C scale in children has not been proven and is not associated with a decrease in GFR <60 ml/min/1.73 m2. GFR at the end of follow-up was lower in the idiopathic IgA nephropathy group. The use of multiple linear regression predicts GFR on average after 28 months of observation.CONCLUSIONS. The influence of morphological factors on the outcome and course of IgA nephropathy has not been proven. The level of GFR at the onset, mean blood pressure, and the age of the first-time admission turned out to be independent variables, which made it possible to identify children with an expected decrease in GFR less than 90 ml/min /1.73 m2 to the group of specific outpatient follow-up.
