Authors: Yilin Ren , Kequn Chu , Fengshu Zhu 
Published: July 2023

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to translate the Athletes’ Received Support Questionnaire (ARSQ) for Chinese athletes and examine the reliability and validity of the ARSQ with Chinese subjects.MethodsIn this study, we conducted a forward-backward translation of the ARSQ and used data collected from Chinese athletes to perform exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. A total of 580 Chinese athletes completed the formal ARSQ for the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), while 230 athletes participated in the preliminary survey. Of the 580 athletes, 571 provided valid questionnaires for assessing validity and reliability. Additionally, we assessed test–retest reliability using data from 200 participants randomly selected after 1 month. The criterion measurement used in this study was the Social Support Rate Scale (SSRS).ResultsResults of the exploratory factor analysis showed that the Chinese version of the ARSQ with 22 items had four-dimensional structures including emotional support, esteem support, information support, and tangible support. CFA showed that the Chinese version of the ARSQ had adequate structural validity (χ2/df = 2.315, CFI = 0.971, GFI = 0.902, NFI = 0.959, AGFI = 0.878, RMSEA = 0.064, SRMR = 0.032). Cronbach’s α coefficient, McDonald’s omega coefficient and the test–retest reliability were 0.956, 0.957, and 0.953 for the total scale.ConclusionThe study provides evidence in support of construct (factorial) validity, convergent validity, internal-consistency and test–retest stability for the use of the ARSQ among Chinese athletes in the Jiangsu and Shandong Provinces, China. However, it is important to note that the conclusion is delimited to the current context, and further studies are needed to verify and promote the applicability of the ARSQ in other regions and sports projects.
On the outcomes of teacher wellbeing: a systematic review of research
Authors: Dreer Benjamin 
Published: July 2023

IntroductionTeacher wellbeing is a growing area of research that has seen a steady increase in publications in recent years. The subsequent need to synthesize and structure this existing research has been articulated and addressed by a handful of systematic research reviews. However, no previous reviews have examined the potential outcomes of teacher wellbeing as a primary theme.MethodsFollowing the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, this review has identified and evaluated the studies investigating the possible outcomes of teacher wellbeing. A keyword search identified 397 records. After the records were screened, 44 research studies analyzing data from over 76,990 teachers were included in this in-depth analysis; the concepts, methods and findings of these studies were examined.Results and discussionThe results of this review highlight the significant relationship of teacher wellbeing with several factors and desirable outcomes, including teachers' sleep quality, teacher retention, teacher–student relationships, and student outcomes. However, only a few of the included studies employed methodologies that support causal interpretations of these effects. In light of the present findings, this paper offers three main recommendations to support future progress in this field.

Published: July 2023

BackgroundThe Odor Awareness Scale (OAS) is a questionnaire that assesses individual differences in awareness of odors in the surrounding environment, which has been shown to be associated with affective symptoms in recent researches. To further research, A Chinese version of the OAS needs to be introduced.ObjectiveTo investigate the factor structure and validate the psychometric properties of the OAS.MethodsA total of 978 participants from college were randomly allocated into two groups for exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), respectively. Additionally, the study entailed item analysis and scrutinized internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, and concurrent validity. Test-retest reliability was assessed by having 214 participants complete the OAS twice at a one-week interval. Concurrent validity was measured using the Body Odor Sniffing Questionnaire (BOSQ), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), and the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20).ResultsEFA identified three factors that best fit the data: odor sensitivity, odor impact, and odor attention. CFA validated a second-order factor model, yielding good fit indices: χ2/ Df = 2.326, RMSEA = 0.052, CFI = 0.911, TLI = 0.900, SRMR = 0.053. The final version of the OAS comprised 27 items and exhibited a commendable internal consistency reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.913), and a good test-retest reliability, as evidenced by the high Pearson correlation coefficient (r = 0.940) and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC = 0.940). The OAS was significantly correlated with BOSQ (r = 0.416), GAD-7 (r = 0.155), and TAS-20 (r = −0.081).ConclusionThe Chinese version of the OAS demonstrated robust reliability and validity, rendering it a valuable instrument for evaluating odor awareness in the Chinese population.

BackgroundSedentary behavior (SB) is highly prevalent among university students and has increased during COVID-19 pandemic. As SB is associated with negative health outcomes, appropriate prevention measures in the university setting are needed.ObjectiveThis pilot study aimed at investigating the effects of videos using different message strategies to interrupt SB in the collective of university students during online lectures.MethodsDuring online lectures, university students (N = 96) were shown one of three videos on the interruption of SB. The videos differed in their message strategies with regard to evidence type (statistical vs. narrative) and vividness (static vs. animated images). Demographics, health variables (SB intentions, SB attitudes) and selected media reception variables (identification, homophily, counterarguing) were examined as possible influence factors on the interruption of SB evoked by watching the video.ResultsApproximately half of the students interrupted sedentary behavior during watching the videos and students of the older age group (cut-off: median = 22 years) interrupted SB significantly more often (p = 0.046). The interruption of SB was predicted by SB intentions (p &lt; 0.05). Identification with characters significantly predicted the intentions to reduce SB (p &lt; 0.001), with a large effect of the overall regression model (R2corr = 0.47).ConclusionConsidering the increased digitalization in general and restrictions due to COVID-19 pandemic, videos seem to be a useful tool to interrupt SB among university students during online lectures. Narrative formats could facilitate the intention to reduce SB, which in turn could have a positive impact on the interruption of SB. However, further research on effective communication and message strategies is needed.

BackgroundThe cancer screening rate in the working population is very low in China. Information-motivation-behavioral skills (IMB) model has been applied to elucidate screening behavior for various chronic diseases but has not been investigated in analyzing cancer screening behavior. This study aimed to examine factors influencing cancer screening behavior and their linkages based on the IMB model.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in Shanghai, China from August to October 2021. Data were obtained through an anonymous questionnaire. Predictive relationships between variables in the IMB model and cancer screening behavior were evaluated. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was constructed to demonstrate the utility of the IMB model.ResultsAmong the 556 participants included in the analysis, 34.4% of participants had ever done a cancer screening. The construct validation analysis supported that the measure items included were acceptable. SEM found that knowledge of cancer warning signs and symptoms (β = 0.563, p &lt; 0.001) and cancer screening behavioral skills (β = 0.264, p = 0.003) were related to participation in cancer screening, whereas cancer screening motivation was not directly influenced the participation in cancer screening (β = − 0.075, p = 0.372).ConclusionThe cancer screening rate was found to be lower than expected in the working population. The IMB model could be used to make decisions in implementing behavioral interventions to participate in cancer screening among the Chinese working population. Enhancing the knowledge of cancer warning signs and symptoms and strengthening behavioral skills should be focused on to improve participation in cancer screening.

BackgroundVaccines are vital health commodities that need an appropriate supply chain system. They could be transported, stored, and used at appropriate temperatures. The purpose of this study was to assess vaccine cold chain management practices in primary health centers offering an expanded program of immunization (EPI) in Bahir Dar, Northwest Ethiopia.MethodsA self-reported and actual practice observational cross-sectional study was conducted at primary public health centers in the Bahir Dar city administration from August 15 to 30, 2021. A simple random sampling method was used to select study participants. An interview-administered questionnaire and direct actual practice observation were used to collect data. The data was entered into the Epi-data 4.6 program and analyzed using SPSS version 25. Participants’ knowledge, storage and transport conditions, IPLS management, and vaccine cold chain management practices were examined using independent samples t-tests and one-way ANOVA tests.FindingsA total of 50 respondents from ten health centers were enrolled in the study. Most of the EPI service providers had good knowledge (60%) and good practice in vaccine storage and transport (74%). However, more than two-thirds (68%) of EPI service providers had poor integrated pharmaceutical logistics system (IPLS) management. Only half (50%) of the health centers had good actual vaccine cold chain management practices. Higher educational background, longer work experience, and receiving training and supervision in EPI services, IPLS management, and vaccine inventory management resulted in higher knowledge, storage and transport management, IPLS management, and vaccine cold chain management practices.ConclusionAlthough most EPI service providers in an interview assessment reported having good knowledge and good vaccine storage and transport management, only half of the health facilities followed the standard. Stakeholders are recommended to play a vital role in improving practices related to EPI services.

IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic and recent international crises including the Russia-Ukraine conflict have resulted in significant disruptions along multiple segments of the Caribbean’s agri-food system, thus compromising regional food security. These impacts are still ongoing with the potential to worsen. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of sociodemographic factors on consumers’ knowledge of food security along with their attitude, and perception towards the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on household food security in the Caribbean Small Island Developing States.MethodA cross-sectional on-line survey was conducted between January 1 and November 30, 2021. The sampled population included consumers from nine Caribbean countries (Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Jamaica, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines). Survey data were analyzed using Chi-square, one way analysis of variance, and univariate logistic regression.Results and discussionA total of 237 consumers participated in the survey. Consumers were generally knowledgeable about food security and had favorable attitudes and perceptions of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on household food security. Significant associations (p&lt;0.05) and significant differences (p&lt;0.05) were obtained for consumers’ knowledge, attitude and perception among the sociodemographic variables assessed. The results suggest that there were different levels of vulnerability to food insecurity associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly among economically vulnerable households. Policies that support disadvantaged households and ensure adequate employment opportunities are important to support Caribbean consumers throughout and post the COVID-19 pandemic recovery.
Building relationships back into the food system: addressing food insecurity and food well-being

Published: July 2023

IntroductionFailures of the current food system sit at the core of the multitude of crises by being the root framework for both consumption choices and food production. Low-income households are disproportionately affected by these failures, impacting their food security and access to healthy and sustainable foods. Community-supported agriculture (CSA) is a bottom-up response towards an agri-food system transformation by providing an alternative food system based on agroecologically grown food that is sold locally and rooted in social values. Alongside other food citizenship movements and alternative food networks (AFN), CSAs are driven by the vision to develop a democratic, socially and economically just, and environmentally sustainable food system. Yet, low-income households are underrepresented in the CSA community.MethodOur paper presents findings from a co-produced intervention between the research team, four CSA farms based in Wales, United Kingdom and two food aid partners that sought to identify ways to improve the accessibility of CSA memberships for food-insecure households. Thirty-eight households received a weekly veg bag for a period of 2–4 months. We interviewed 16 household members at the project start and end of the harvest season. Building on the food well-being framework, we investigate impacts of a CSA membership on food-insecure households.ResultsWe found that CSA membership holistically improves food well-being, through strengthening producer-consumer relationships, increasing availability of healthy foods, helping people to care for their own and their families well-being, and building place-based food capability and literacy.DiscussionThis paper supports wider narratives that call for systematically prioritizing interventions that promote overall food well-being, which can lead to sustainable and just food systems with positive outcomes for financially excluded, food insecure households in localized AFNs.

Authors: Hurni Yannick , Huber Daniela 
Published: July 2023

ObjectiveThis study aimed to determine the feasibility of performing omentectomy by transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) for surgical staging of ovarian and high-risk endometrial malignancies.MethodsThis descriptive study was realized in a non-university hospital in Switzerland. Eighteen patients with suspicious adnexal masses or high-risk endometrial cancer underwent surgical staging comprising infracolic omentectomy by vNOTES between May 2020 and April 2023.ResultsPatients underwent oncological surgical staging for suspicious adnexal masses in 14 cases (77.8%) and high-risk endometrial cancer in 4 cases (22.2%). vNOTES omentectomies were performed in all patients without complications. Associated procedures included salpingo-oophorectomy (94.4%), hysterectomy (55.6%), peritoneal biopsies (33.3%), pelvic sentinel lymph node biopsies (22.2%), and appendectomy (5.6%). The median time to perform omentectomies was 9 (4–13) min. All oncological staging were completed by vNOTES. No significant intraoperative complications occurred. We observed 1 case (5.6%) of postoperative fever probably associated with vaginal cuff infection (Clavien-Dindo grade II).ConclusionsThis study demonstrated the feasibility of performing vNOTES oncological staging requiring complex extrapelvic procedures such as infracolic omentectomy, supporting its potential role for managing gynecological malignancies such as ovarian and high-risk endometrial cancers. However, before expanding this approach outside study settings, strong evidence of its feasibility, practical benefits, and long-term oncological outcomes are needed.

Objetivou-se utilizar modelos de regressão não linear para avaliar a curva de crescimento de cordeiros. Para isso, foram utilizados dados referentes ao peso e idade de 70 cordeiros mestiços Dorper x Santa Inês nascidos entre os anos de 2016 a 2019. O sistema de produção era intensivo e semi-confinado. Os dados dos animais foram ajustados por meio dos modelos não lineares Brody, Von Bertalanffy, logístico e Gompertz. Para comparar o ajuste dos modelos foram utilizados os avaliadores de qualidade do ajuste: quadrado médio do erro (QME), coeficiente de determinação (R2) e porcentagem de convergência (%conv). As curvas de crescimento foram feitas por ajustes individuais. Todas as análises foram realizadas utilizando o software RStudio, versão R 4.1.2. O modelo Logístico foi o que melhor estimou o parâmetro a (peso adulto) com 48,09 kg, enquanto os demais superestimaram a realidade biológica do parâmetro. Da mesma forma, apresentou o maior valor referente ao parâmetro k (taxa de maturidade) com 0,0219. Todos os modelos obtiveram coeficiente de determinação (R²) superior a 96%. O modelo de Von Bertalanffy apresentou o menor QME (1,61), seguido de Gompetz (2,27), Logístico (2,76) e Brody (3,36). O modelo Logístico obteve a maior percentagem de convergência de dados (87,14%), seguido de Gompertz (71,43%), Von Bertalanffy (35,71%) e Brody (10%). Portanto, o modelo logístico apresentou o melhor ajuste perante os demais com R² adequado, baixo QME, alta porcentagem de convergência e valor assintótico adequado, não tendendo a superestimar o peso adulto.
