“…While, the extended care intervention is mainly carried out Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine [23]. Gao et al also demonstrated that, as for the infants undergoing enterostomy, their parents received WeChatassisted health education and had better nursing ability and less psychological burden, which was helpful to reduce complications of infants, such as mucosal oedema and allergic dermatitis [24]. As we all know, the risk of premature birth is mainly concentrated in the growth retardation and restriction of PIs [25,26].…”

Objective. WeChat-based extended care has been widely applied in clinical practice such as preoperative assistance in children with congenital heart disease and children with ventricular septal defect. In this study, we aimed to explore the impacts of WeChat-based extended care on the growth and development of preterm infants (PIs) and the nursing satisfaction of their family members. Methods. From June 2019 to August 2021, 85 PIs and their mothers were selected as the research participants. Among them, 46 pairs receiving WeChat-based extended care were served as the WeChat group, and 39 pairs receiving routine extended care were taken as the control group. After 6 months of intervention, the two groups of PIs were compared in terms of physical development, IQ, and neurological and gastrointestinal functions. For mothers, their psychological states were assessed after intervention using the self-rating anxiety/depression scale (SAS/SDS), and the nursing satisfaction was counted. Results. After nursing intervention, better physical and IQ development of PIs were observed in the WeChat group compared with the control group ( P < 0.05 ). The WeChat group also had notably reduced level of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and s100β protein related to nerve function than that in the control group and exhibited significant higher levels of serum gastrin (GAS) and motilin (MTL) associated with gastrointestinal function ( P < 0.05 ). Besides, the WeChat group presented lower SAS and SDS scores and higher nursing satisfaction than the control group in delivery women ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. WeChat-based extended care can effectively improve the growth and development and various physical functions of PIs. At the same time, it is helpful to improve maternal psychological states and nursing satisfaction of delivery women, which is worth of clinical application.

Background Imported malaria cases remains a key health concern, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Providing accurate health information is important to improving people’s awareness of malaria. WeChat is an excellent social media tool for health information dissemination, especially during the pandemic. This study explored the effect of malaria knowledge dissemination via a WeChat public account. Methods A questionnaire for data collection was constructed using the online survey tool Sojump. Questionnaires were sent to users who followed the Jiangsu institute of Parasitic Disease WeChat public account during the National Malaria Day 2021 period. A small incentive (WeChat Red Packet) was distributed to everyone who answered the questionnaire correctly on time. Results A total of 13,169 valid questionnaires were collected during the China National Malaria Day period. Questions in which participants focused mainly on information pertaining to themselves, such as infection, symptoms, and epidemic areas, reached highest accuracy (above 90%). Questionnaires were submitted through smartphones and most of them were completed during the period of 4 days from April 23 to April 26, 2021 when a WeChat Red Packet was offered. The accuracy of responses was related to bolded words and location and number of knowledge points that were shown at the beginning of the questionnaire. The number of users of the WeChat public account in question increased from 5961 to 12,339 in just 4 days of the activity. Conclusion A WeChat public account is a convenient and accessible tool for spreading malaria-related health information to the public. Distribution of incentives (Red Packets) can effectively increase public attention to popular science and health information and activities.
