Objective: To explore the status quo of anxiety and its influencing factors among rural residents in Hunan Province during the coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic, and to provide an effective basis for prevention of and intervention for anxiety symptoms among rural residents.Methods: Convenience sampling was used. An online questionnaire was distributed to Hunan rural residents through the questionnaire star platform from February 26–29, 2020. The general data and anxiety of Hunan rural residents were investigated, and the data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0.Results: The mean Self-Rating Anxiety Scale score of 179 rural residents in Hunan was 40.93 ± 9.36. Based on the cutoff criteria, 32 residents had anxiety, including 26 with mild anxiety, five with moderate anxiety, and one with severe anxiety. The detection rate of anxiety was 17.88%. Self-rated health status, level of concern about the epidemic, and self-rated impact of the epidemic on one's life were the factors influencing the anxiety score of rural residents in Hunan (P < 0.05).Conclusion: During the coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic, the detection rate of anxiety in rural residents in Hunan was higher than that of the general population in China. The relevant departments should pay attention to the mental health of rural residents and implement targeted mental health prevention and intervention measures during the epidemic situation.

The paper industry is a traditional industry with extensive consumption of resources and energy and more pollutant discharge. This industry is closely related to production and life activities. Under the general requirement of “to step up conservation of the Yangtze River and stop its over development,” the paper industry in the Yangtze River Economic Belt should urgently undergo green transformation and development. Based on the undesirable slack-based measure model, spatial gravity center, Kernel density function, Theil index, and panel model, this study examines the green development efficiency and its influencing factors of the paper industry in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2001 to 2016. Results showed the following: (1) from 2001 to 2016, the green development efficiency of the paper industry in the Yangtze River Economic Belt had been steadily improved, but the overall efficiency value is not high, which has a great potential for improvement. The green development efficiency of the paper industry in the Yangtze River Economic Belt presents the regional differentiation law of gradient increasing in the upper, middle, and lower reaches. (2) According to the gravity center trajectory, the efficiency center of the green development of the paper industry in the Yangtze River Economic Belt is located in the middle reaches of Hunan Province and Hubei Province and moves to the southwest. This case indicates that the green development efficiency of the paper industry in provinces and cities in the southwest has been improved. (3) The regional differences in the green development efficiency of the paper industry in the Yangtze River Economic Belt show the characteristics of narrowing fluctuations. The regional differences are the primary sources of the difference in the green development efficiency of the paper industry. (4) The enterprise scale, science and technology investment, and industrial structure have significant positive effects on the green development efficiency of the paper industry in the Yangtze River Economic Belt. On the contrary, environmental regulation and foreign investment intensity have significant negative effects. However, the above factors have different effects on the green development efficiency of the paper industry in the upper, middle, and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

Abstract Background: Respiratory disease is now the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. They simultaneously impact public health at the population level and also cause great financial distress for families . Understanding the distribution of diseases and the Current Curative Expenditure (CCE) can provide a basis for policy decisions and interventions. This study analyzed the status of respiratory diseases spending using data from “System of Health Accounts 2011” (SHA 2011) to provide health policy advice to Hunan Province, China, and insights for other more developed areas in China. Methods: Data were collected by multi-stage stratified random sampling approach and the medical expenses of patients with respiratory diseases were calculated based on the SHA 2011, including the dimensions of institutional resource flow and service function. Regression analyses were conducted to identify influencing factors of hospitalization expenses. All analyses were conducted using software SPSS 25.0. Results: The CCE for Respiratory diseases in 2017 was 215.42 billion Chinese yuan (CNY), accounting for 15.94% of total expenditure on health in Hunan Province, China. Children aged 0-4 and elderly aged 60-69 spent the most on the treatment for such diseases. Length of stay, age, and institution level were the three most important factors affecting hospitalization expenses. Conclusions: The CCE of respiratory diseases is extremely high, with problems related to treatment efficiency and equity. It is essential to expand health insurance coverage, establish hierarchical medical system, and reduce curative expenditure.

ObjectiveThis study was designed to investigate the status of diabetes information acquisition and its influencing factors among patients, 60 years and older, with pre-diabetes in rural China.DesignThis is a cross-sectional study.SettingThe survey was conducted in 42 rural communities in Yiyang City, Hunan Province, China.ParticipantsA total of 461 elderly with pre-diabetes participated in this study, and 434 of them completed the survey (434/461, 94.1%).Outcome measuresInformation on sociodemographic and diabetic information-seeking behaviours were assessed through the structured questionnaires and described by percentages, mean±SD. The influencing factors of diabetes information acquisition were analysed using multiple linear regression analysis.ResultsThe average score of diabetes information acquisition in the subjects was 8.39±11.28. The most popular and trusted source of diabetes information for the subjects was doctors. The level of information acquisition not only declined as the age progressed (95% CI −3.754 to −0.143) but also proved lowest among subjects with less than 1 year of education (95% CI 0.756 to 4.326). In addition, the level of information acquisition among elderly individuals with pre-diabetes, but with no history of hyperglycaemia, was lower than among those with a history of hyperglycaemia (95% CI 3.398 to 11.945).ConclusionsThese data indicated that the lack of ability to acquire diabetes information in elderly with pre-diabetes was common in rural China. Improving the ability of rural residents to access information should be incorporated into rural diabetes prevention efforts, especially for the elderly with pre-diabetes with low education and no history of hyperglycaemia.Trial registration numberChiCTR-IOR-15007033; Pre-results.
