This descriptive research using the relational screening model aims at examining the controllable variables that affect students' exam success. In this research, the problems of whether the time spent by the students with their families, having a study desk or room at home, having a library at home and the time spent on digital screens affect student success. The research study group consists of third- and fourth-grade students from 20 primary schools in various provinces of Turkey, selected by a convenient sampling method in the years 2020-2021. Variables with the achievement evaluation exam were prepared by the field teachers for the student's exam scores and controlled by the expert teachers. The data obtained in the research were analyzed assisted by the SPSS program with descriptive and logistic regression analysis. The research results concluded that students who have a room or a desk at home, have a library at home, spend quality time at home with their family in the evenings, and feel happy at home can increase student success in primary schools.

The Relationship

BACKGROUND Adolescence is a risky stage for internet addiction and social phobia. Internet addiction is a major public health problem, especially among adolescents. OBJECTIVE The study was conducted to determine the frequency of internet addiction and social phobia, to evaluate the relationship between them among high school students in Eskişehir. METHODS The study is a cross-sectional study conducted on high school students studying in Eskişehir during the 2017-2018 academic year. In the study, two stage cluster sampling method was used according to settlement units and school types. The study group consisted of 3353 students who are found in selected schools for sampling and agreed to participate in the study. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the independent variables associated with social phobia and internet addiction. RESULTS In the study, the prevalence rates of internet addiction, social phobia, internet addiction and social phobia among the students was 13.8%, 8.7% and 2.7% respectively. Logistic regression analysis shows that internet addiction can be predicted by family type, tool for connecting to internet, age of first internet use, time to access the internet after waking up in the morning, total duration of internet use, self-limitation on the use of the internet and social phobia. CONCLUSIONS Internet addiction and social phobia are important health problems which are found to be related to each other in adolescents. Prevention and intervention studies should be planned about social phobia and internet addiction. CLINICALTRIAL 80558721/G-312

Abstract Background Idiopathic scoliosis (IS) affects patients’ quality of life, yet there have been few reports of its morphology and epidemiological study in the southeast region of China. The aim of this study is to access the curve characteristics, prevalence, and factors associated with IS in Chaozhou city. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed in 2018, in which scoliosis screening was conducted among 5497 primary school students in Chaozhou city. Then, a case-control study based on the screening involving 2547 children was followed for the exploration of the associated factors. The questionnaires covering demographic characteristics, postural habits, cognition and self-sensation of scoliosis, and physical conditions were addressed for the investigation. ORs with 95%CIs were calculated based on logistic regression analysis to evaluate the factors associated with scoliosis. Results The prevalence of IS among primary school students was 6.15% in Chaozhou city, with 4.04% for males and 8.71% for females. The average Cobb angle was 15° (range 8 to 37°). Multiple logistic regression analysis suggested that female (OR=2.45), BMI (OR=0.67), having myopia (OR=1.49), self-sensation of scoliosis with symptoms (OR=5.52), insufficient sleep time (OR=2.65, 3.33), and less exercise time (OR=7.09, 7.29) were significantly associated with IS. Conclusions The prevalence of IS among primary school students in Chaozhou was at an average level, and it was significantly higher in females than in males. Lower body mass, having myopia, insufficient sleep time, and lower physical activity were associated with IS.

Background: The Fire and Disaster Management Agency of Japan launched a population-based cohort study of patients suffering from OHCA in 2005. However, more detailed data on each OHCA case may be required to determine any confounders present in each area to prevent locally occurring OHCA. Methods and Results: The Council for School-Based Screening Programs of the Kyushu Medical Associations started to obtain data of each case of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) <20 years of age from school boards, school physicians, and local fire departments in the Kyushu area in 2012 using a questionnaire. The questionnaire asked information used in the Utstein form and more detailed situations about OHCA cases. In logistic regression analysis, age, sex, the location of OHCA (at home or not at home), the timing of OHCA (during sleep or not during sleep), the presence of resuscitation, and the use of an AED were used as dependent variables. Sixty-seven cases of OHCA were obtained in 2002 and 2003. The prevalence of OHCA in each Prefecture corresponded to 0.29 to 4.17 per 100,000 subjects (Okamoto et al. Circ J, 2013), indicating that less than half of the annual cases in Kyushu area were obtained. Of 67 cases of OHCA, 20, 7, 13, and 27 cases occurred in those aged 0, 1-5, 6-12, and 13-18 years, respectively. Of 40 cases of OHCA that occurred at home, 37 (93%) were fatal. Among 20 infant cases, 16 (80%) occurred during sleeping. Of 27 young adolescent cases, 5 were found dead in the bath. In logistic regression analysis, OHCA occurring at home was a sole predictive factor for death (p=0.000, 95% confidence interval: 4.4-73.1). Conclusions: To improve the prevalence and outcome of OHCA cases in the pediatric population, information on resuscitation should be provided to parents. New strategies for sudden infant death during sleeping should be examined, such as electrocardiographic screening at 1 month old (Schwartz PJ, et al. Circulation, 2009: Yoshinaga M, et al. Circ Arrhythm Electrophysiol, 2013). Bathing is at high risk of OHCA, not only in the elderly population, but also in the young population.

Background. Obesity and cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders are an increasingly common problem worldwide, also in the developmental age population. Inhibiting this process requires identifying risk factors that can be modified. Objective. The aim of the study was to identify the conditions of the occurrence of overweight and obesity in the Lodz youth at school age. Materials and methods. The survey was conducted in 2008-2012 among school students attending primary and secondary schools in the four districts of Lodz (city in Poland). The study involved 622 students aged 12-18: 309 girls (49.7%) and 313 boys (50.3%). The BMI index was calculated based on anthropometric measurements (mass, body height) and was interpreted on the basis of centile charts of Lodz children (overweight ≥ 85-95 centile; obese ≥ 95 centile). Youth health behaviors were analyzed based on a questionnaire of an original interview modeled on the HBSC (Health Behavior in School-aged Children) study. The obtained results were subjected to statistical analysis (single- and multi-factorial logistic regression analysis). Results. An excess of body weight was found in 23.5% of the examined youth. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, the factors significantly affecting the occurrence of overweight or obesity were: non-eating dinner (daily or sometimes, OR = 1.98); not eating fruit and vegetables every day (OR = 1.57), multi-hour passive relaxation time (use of TV, Internet, OR = 3.08) and low physical activity (OR = 1.76). Conclusions. Intensive promotion of a healthy lifestyle - increasing the awareness and knowledge of schoolchildren, encouraging proper eating habits and active leisure activities - can significantly affect the reduction of obesity risk factors. Health education is required at school for children, as well as for parents and teachers.

Antenatal care is a service provided to pregnant women to monitor, support maternal health and detect mothers whether normal or problematic pregnant women. According to the WHO, globally more than 70% of maternal deaths are caused by complications of pregnancy and childbirth such as hemorrhage, hypertension, sepsis, and abortion. Based on data obtained from the profile of the North Sumatra provincial health office in 2017, in the city of Padangsidimpuan in 2017 the coverage of ANC visits reached (76.58%) and had not reached the target in accordance with the 2017 Provincial Health Office strategy plan (95%). This type of research was an observational analytic study with a cross sectional design. The population in this study were independent practice midwives who were in the Padangsidimpuan, the sample in this study amounted to 102 respondents. The technique of collecting data used questionnaires and data analysis used univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis with logistic regression analysis. Based on bivariate analysis showed that there was a relationship between facilities, knowledge and attitudes of independent midwives with compliance with the standards of antenatal care services with a value of p <0.05. The results of the study with multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the factors associated with the compliance of independent midwives in carrying out antenatal care service standards were attitudes with values (p = 0.026).

Abstract Background Postanesthetic shivering is an unpleasant adverse event in surgical patients. A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug has been reported to be useful in preventing postanesthetic shivering in several previous studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of flurbiprofen axetil being a prodrug of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug for preventing postanesthetic shivering in patients undergoing gynecologic laparotomy surgeries. Method This study is a retrospective observational study. I collected data from patients undergoing gynecologic laparotomy surgeries performed between October 1, 2019, and September 30, 2020, at Kumamoto City Hospital. All the patients were managed with general anesthesia with or without epidural analgesia. The administration of intravenous 50 mg flurbiprofen axetil for postoperative pain control at the end of the surgery was left to the individual anesthesiologist. The patients were divided into two groups: those who had received intravenous flurbiprofen axetil (flurbiprofen group) and those who had not received intravenous flurbiprofen axetil (non-flurbiprofen group), and I compared the frequency of postanesthetic shivering between the two groups. Additionally, the factors presumably associated with postanesthetic shivering were collected from the medical charts. Intergroup differences were assessed with the χ2 test with Yates’ correlation for continuity category variables. The Student’s t test was used to test for differences in continuous variables. Furthermore, a multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to elucidate the relationship between the administration of flurbiprofen axetil and the incidence of PAS. Results I retrospectively examined the cases of 141 patients aged 49 ± 13 (range 21-84) years old. The overall postanesthetic shivering rate was 21.3% (30 of the 141 patients). The frequency of postanesthetic shivering in the flurbiprofen group (n = 31) was 6.5%, which was significantly lower than that in the non-flurbiprofen group (n = 110), 25.5% (p value = 0.022). A multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that administration of flurbiprofen axetil was independently associated with a reduced incidence of postanesthetic shivering (odds ratio 0.12; 95% confidence interval, 0.02-0.66, p value = 0.015). Conclusions My result suggests that intraoperative 50 mg flurbiprofen axetil administration for postoperative pain control is useful to prevent postanesthetic shivering in patients undergoing gynecologic laparotomy surgeries.
