“…We assessed depression using the Chinese version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) scale, a self-report depression scale for research in the general population [34]. Participants were asked to indicate the frequency of symptoms on a 4-point scale (0=less than a day; 1=1 to 2 days; 2=3 to 4 days; 3=5 to 7 days) within the last week.…”

Web-Based Intervention for Physical Activity and Fruit and Vegetable Intake Among Chinese University Students: A Randomized Controlled Trial

et al. 2017

BackgroundAmple evidence demonstrates that university students are at high risk for sedentary behaviors and inadequate fruit and vegetable intake (FVI). Internet-based interventions for multiple health behavior appear to be promising in changing such unhealthy habits. Limited randomized controlled trials have tested this assumption among Chinese university students.ObjectiveOur objective was to test the efficacy of an 8-week Web-based intervention compared with a control group condition to improve physical activity (PA) and FVI in Chinese university students. The intervention content was based on the health action process approach, and developed on the basis of previous evidence from the Western hemisphere. We evaluated self-reported data including PA and FVI, stages of change for PA and FVI, and motivational (risk perception, outcome expectancies, self-efficacy), volitional (action planning, coping planning, social support), and distal (intention, habit) indicators for PA and FVI, as well as perceived mental health outcomes (quality of life, depression).MethodsIn a randomized controlled trial, we recruited 566 university students from one university in the central region of China during their general physical education class. After random allocation and exclusion of unsuitable participants, we assigned 493 students to 1 of 2 groups: (1) intervention group: first 4 weeks on PA and subsequent 4 weeks on FVI, (2) control group. We conducted 3 Web-based assessments: at the beginning of the intervention (T1, n=493), at the end of the 8-week intervention (T2, n=337), and at a 1-month follow-up after the intervention (T3, n=142). The entire study was conducted throughout the fall semester of 2015.ResultsSignificant time ⨯ group interactions revealed superior intervention effects on FVI; motivational, volitional, and distal indicators of FVI; and PA behavior changes, with an effect size (η2) ranging from .08 to .20. In addition, the overall intervention effects were significant for stage progression to the action group from T1 to T2 in PA (χ21=11.75, P=.001) and FVI (χ21=15.64, P=.03). Furthermore, the intervention effect was seen in the improvement of quality of life (F3,492=1.23, η2=.03, P=.02).ConclusionsThis study provides evidence for the efficacy of a Web-based multiple health behavior intervention among Chinese university students tested with different outcome variables. Future research should address the high dropout rate and optimize the most effective components of this intervention.Trial RegistrationClinicaltrials.gov NCT01909349; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01909349 (Archived by WebCite at http://www.webcitation.org/6pHV1A0G1)

“…Among all of the questionnaires above, IPAQ-C, quality of life, and depression had been well developed and validated in Chinese versions in previous studies [25,33,34]. The English questionnaires addressing motivational, volitional, and distal indicators of behavior change were translated into Chinese by a bilingual researcher.…”

“…Those measures not available in Mandarin were translated using standard translation and back-translation procedures. 16 The survey also included questions that assessed the availability of family members to assist with HIV care and caregiving support provided as well as details about the patients' relationships with their caregivers, including frequency of contact, living arrangement, and type of care received. Adherence was assessed by using the Simplified Medication Adherence Questionnaire (SMAQ), a six-item patient self-report measure, which has shown strong reliability.…”

China is experiencing a rapid increase in the incidence of HIV infections, which it is addressing proactively with broad implementation of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Within a cultural context extolling familial responsibility, family caregiving may be an important component to promote medication adherence for persons living with HIV in China. Based on 20 qualitative interviews with persons living with HIV and their family caregivers and a cross-sectional survey with 113 adults receiving HIV care at Beijing's Ditan outpatient clinic, this mixed-methods study examines family caregivers' role in promoting adherence to ART. Building upon a conceptual model of adherence, this article explores the role of family members in supporting four key components enhancing adherence (i.e., access, knowledge, motivation, and proximal cue to action). Patients with family caregiving support report superior ART adherence. Also, gender (being female) and less time since ART initiation are significantly related to superior adherence. Since Chinese cultural values emphasize family care, future work on adherence promotion in China will want to consider the systematic incorporation of family members.

“…Lin (1989) used the CES-D as the basis for a new scale to form the Chinese Depressive Symptom Scale and also reported that the CES-D scale is a valid instrument for Chinese research when compared to quality of life factors. Rankin et al (1993) claimed the CES-D scale has good internal consistency reliability to diabetic Chinese in San Francisco.…”

Article History KeywordsPsychological strain Suicidal ideation Chinese young people Background: In China, suicide is one of the major causes of death among adolescents and young adults. Various factors affect suicidal ideation. Aim: The current study examined how psychological strains affected suicidal ideation. Method: A questionnaire survey study was conducted in a Chinese university, with a large sample of 979 undergraduate students. The multiple linear regression analysis was used to exam the possible risk factors for suicidal ideation. Results: Grade, religion, course attendance, appearance self-evaluation, depression, social support and psychological strains measured by differential values strain and relative deprivation strain were significantly associated with suicidal ideation. Conclusions: Chinese young people' psychological strains were predictors of suicidal ideation with the important demographic variables controlled for. Contribution/ Originality:This study is one of very few studies which have investigated the association between psychological strains and suicidal ideation among Chinese young people. It revives an understanding that psychological strains especially measured by differential values strain and relative deprivation strain were significantly associated with suicidal ideation.
