Abstract Background The shortage of primary medical staff is an important issue in the management of health human resources, and it is also a problem that all countries in the world need to face together. Since 2009, China has implemented a new series of medical system reforms and the shortage and loss of primary medical staff have been alleviated accordingly. However, China has a large population and it is difficult to distribute health human resources evenly across regions. This study aimed to explore the current status of turnover intention and its relationship with psychological capital, social support, and job burnout, as well as how these factors influence turnover intention of primary medical staff in Anhui province, China. Methods Using structured questionnaires to collect data, including demographic characteristics, turnover intention, psychological capital, social support, and Chinese Maslach Burnout Inventory scale. A total of 1152 primary medical workers of Anhui were investigated. Data were analyzed by t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression model. Results Total scores of turnover intention, psychological capital, social support, and job burnout of subjects were 14.15 ± 4.35, 100.09 ± 15.98, 64.93 ± 13.23 and 41.07 ± 9.437, respectively. Multiple linear regression showed the related factors of turnover intention were age, job position, work unit, and scores of job burnout. Pearson correlation showed psychological capital and social support were negatively correlated with turnover intention, while the score of job burnout was positively correlated with turnover intention. Conclusion The improvement of psychological capital and social support and the reduction of job burnout may play an important role in reducing turnover intention of primary medical staff. Primary medical managers should strengthen the humanistic care for primary medical staff, optimize the incentive mechanism, and improve internal management of medical institutions for stability.

Abstract Objective: To date, there have been few studies on dietary supplement (DS) use in Korean children and adolescents, using nationally representative data. This study aimed to investigate the current status of DS use and its related factors, among Korean children and adolescents from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) data. Design: A cross-sectional study. Setting: Data from the KNHANES 2015–2017. Participants completed 24-h dietary recall interviews, including DS products that the subjects consumed. Participants: The study population was 4380 children and adolescents aged 1–18 years. Results: Approximately 2013 % of children and adolescents were using DS; the highest use was among children aged 1–3 years old, and the lowest use was among adolescents aged 16–18 years. The most frequently used DS was prebiotics/probiotics, followed by multivitamin/mineral supplements. Factors that were associated with DS use were lower birth weight in children aged <4 years; younger age, higher household income, regular breakfast intake and lower BMI in children aged 4–9 years; and regular breakfast intake and use of nutrition facts label in adolescents aged 10–18 years. Feeding patterns in infancy and having chronic diseases were not associated with DS use. Conclusions: We report that over 20 % of children and adolescents use DS. Nutritional education for parents and children about proper DS consumption is needed.

Originada por el Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Esto llevó a la creación de una vacuna que se presentó oficialmente en 1924 y que se conoce como Bacilo Calmette y Guerin (BCG), desde entonces se la ha utilizado. Sin embargo, ha habido numerosas investigaciones sobre su eficacia y otros factores relacionados que han mostrado desequilibrio. Varios países recomiendan el uso de esta vacuna en los recién nacidos, pero en el caso de Ecuador se ha dejado de recomendar su aplicación, a pesar de que no existan datos en relación a la eficacia de la vacuna en dicho país. Otros estudios demuestran que el conocimiento de las personas acerca de la enfermedad es muy pobre, permitiendo así que esta pueda propagarse con mayor facilidad, debido a que la persona infectada no conoce el tipo de sintomatología que la Tuberculosis genera. Este artículo tiene el objetivo de conocer el estado actual de la eficiencia y seguridad de la BCG mediante la revisión y análisis de artículos recopilados relacionados al uso de la vacuna y su eficacia en la población investigada. AbstractTB is the second leading cause of death from an infectious agent, disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It allowed the creation of a vaccine officially launched in 1924 and known as Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) used since then. However, there has been extensive research on its effectiveness and other related factors have shown an imbalance. Several countries recommend the use of this vaccine in infants, but in the case of Ecuador has failed to suggest its application, although there are no data regarding the efficacy of the vaccine in that country. Other studies show that the knowledge of people about the disease is destitute, thus allowing this could spread more quickly because the infected person does not know the type of symptoms that generates Tuberculosis. This article aims to identify the current status of the efficiency and safety of BCG through review and analysis of collected items related to the use of the vaccine and its effectiveness in the research population.

Unpaid Family Work

This study highlights foundation that women encompass – inside their houses as unpaid family work, as wage-earners to be found at the lowest position of income generating work and as care-givers. Here few questions could come to one’s mind that what is the extent of women’s responsiveness regarding work, of everyday jobs, of class and role? How do they differentiate themselves being dominated under weight of various roles? Or are they doubly demoralized by the patriarchal system? How this amalgamation of professions is made possible? The study illustrates field research seeking answers to these questions. The interviewing schedule created for this research included questions that aimed at obtaining personal data about the respondents, such as age, educational attainment, marital status, number of children, typology of work, etc. The data drawn from sample shows ability of self employed working women to balance their income generating work with their communal roles of food preparation, cleaning, caring, parenting and other domestic chores. Therefore, the vision that this research explores, deny the imagined characteristics of women as a male responsibility. These self employed women indeed are heads of their households. This timely study invites all concerned authorities, policy makers and governmental institutions to recognize this reality and consequently plan for the upcoming decades.

Zinc Nutrition

Objectives: To analyze the serum zinc nutrition status of the Chinese elderly, and to assess the risk factor for zinc deficiency. Methods: 3727 elderly people over 60 years old were randomly selected from 302 monitoring points in 31 provinces of China Adult Chronic Disease and Nutrition Surveillance (CACDNS) 2015. Blood samples were selected from the biological sample bank of CACDNS 2015 and the basic information were collected by questionnaires. The criteria of serum zinc deficiency recommended by the International Zinc Nutrition Consulting Group (IZiNCG) were adopted, and the related factors were also analyzed. Results: The median serum zinc concentration of Chinese elderly was 99.2 (84.3~118.7) μg/dL. The overall adjusted prevalence of zinc deficiency was 8.68%, with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 7.74% and 9.61%. Significant differences were found in different sex, age groups, Body Mass Index (BMI), residence region, race and education level in terms of serum zinc status in the elderly (p < 0.05). Participants who are males, aged above 70y, with BMIs of less than 18.5 kg/m2, living in rural areas, minority, and with the lowest income had a higher prevalence of zinc deficiency in the subgroups under different classifications. The risk of zinc deficiency in the elderly over 70y was 1.44 higher than those aged 60–69y (OR = 1.44, 95%CI 1.14–1.82), and the minority elderly has a 1.39 higher risk than Han nationality (OR = 1.39, 95%CI 1.01–1.91), while overweight/obesity and female elderly were at lower risk (OR < 1, p < 0.05). Conclusions: The overall prevalence of zinc deficiency in the elderly was highest in all adults in the CACDNS. It is recommended that the male elderly, over 70 years, and the minority elderly should pay more attention to the zinc nutrition status of their own.

Abstract Objective: To investigate the current status of children's sleep in Beijing and analyze the influencing factors that affect it. Methods:Using multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling, a total of 11420 children aged 3-14 in 7 districts in Beijing were included in the study. The Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) was used to investigate and analyze various factors influencing sleep. Multi-level model was used to analyze the relationship between PSQ score and related factors. Results: The average PSQ score of the children surveyed was 3.60 ± 2.69 points. If the score is greater than 7, it is considered that there may be sleep quality problems . The proportion of children with sleep quality problems was more than 8%. Multi-level model analysis results show that younger children have higher PSQ scores than older children. Boys have higher PSQ scores than girls. Conclusion: The sleep quality of children in Beijing is not optimistic. The PSQ score of preschool children is higher than school age children. It is recommended that parents pay attention to children’s sleep status and try to remove influencing factors.

Nowadays, the key to an organization’s success is the ability to assess its readiness to create and improve the processes underlying its strategy. Realizing the fact that knowledge plays important roles in attaining competitive edge and strategic goals, managers give much emphasis on Knowledge Management (KM). However, implementing knowledge management or knowledge-sharing projects in an organization require significant organizational prerequisites. Lacking proper infrastructures and prerequisites, not only make the knowledge management process unprofitable, but also it might incur harmful effects as well. To decrease such risks, it is proposed to introduce the readiness assessment, in order to gauge a company’s appetite for the work involved in implementing the knowledge management. In this research, critical success factors have been extracted from comprehensive literature reviews and they have been surveyed through a questionnaire, distributed among 130 knowledge management experts. Then, to validate the measurement of the multi-item constructs, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was used. Identifying effective variables and their grouping into related factors, the second questionnaire was employed for readiness assessment of an IT firm working in Iran. The final results were presented with Radar diagrams. Finally, promoting propositions were provided based on the firm’s current status.
