Background:The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified health care worker burnout and increased their engagement with social media. However, it remains unclear whether social media is beneficial in mitigating burnout among primary health care workers (PHWs). Objective:This study aims to report the prevalence of burnout among Chinese PHWs and investigate the relationship between social media use, specifically WeChat Moments usage, and burnout, with a focus on urban-rural differences. Methods:Our nationwide cross-sectional survey was conducted between May and October 2022 and included 3769 PHWs. Burnout was assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey, and WeChat Moments usage was self-evaluated. Weighted data were used to report the prevalence of burnout nationwide and in urban and rural areas. Multivariate logistic regression and subgroup analyses were used to examine the association between burnout and WeChat Moments usage frequency, highlighting differences between urban and rural PHWs. Results:Urban PHWs reported a higher prevalence of burnout compared with their rural counterparts (212/1200, 17.6% vs 351/2569, 13.7%; P=.004). Overall, the frequency of social media use was negatively associated with the prevalence of burnout. With the inclusion of covariates, those who sometimes used WeChat Moments experienced a statistically significant protective effect compared with those who never used WeChat Moments in the fully adjusted model (odds ratio 0.570, 95% CI 0.348-0.933; P=.03). The association between social media use and burnout was more statistically significant in urban settings than in rural settings (urban: all odds ratios and 95% CIs <1, and all P<.05; rural: all P>.05). Conclusions:Urban and rural differences in burnout prevalence were observed among PHWs, with urban practitioners experiencing significantly higher prevalence. This study also found that increased social media use was associated with a lower likelihood of experiencing burnout, but the association did not always exist. In terms of overall burnout, the relationship between social media use and burnout was statistically significant only in urban areas. Our findings underscore the urgent need for policy makers and health care institutions to prioritize interventions addressing burnout among PHWs, particularly in underresourced and high-stress settings. Local governments could pilot platforms with moderation, allowing PHWs to showcase their work progress to the communities they serve, thereby strengthening trust and reducing emotional exhaustion. Our research also suggests that social media interventions may be particularly effective in urban settings. These findings offer actionable insights for other low- and middle-income countries navigating similar challenges. International bodies (eg, the World Health Organization) should develop digital health guidelines specific to low- and middle-income countries to help policy makers balance the benefits and risks of social media.
Primary health-care workers (PHWs) managed increased workloads and pressure during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study conducted a national survey examining burnout among PHWs at the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, and identifies related factors. By doing so, it addresses the gap in understanding the burnout situation among PHWs at a national level, taking into account urban-rural disparities. We conducted a nationwide cross-sectional survey of PHWs in China from May to October 2022, covering 31 provinces. The MBI-HSS was used to measure overall burnout and emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and reduced personal accomplishment (PA). We used multivariable logistic regression to identify risk factors, and subgroup analyses to identify differences between rural and urban areas. 3769 PHWs from 44 primary health-care institutions completed the survey. Overall, 16.6
Objective: To explore"1+1+1"family-doctor double contract service, to let people get real benefits, and to provide the community residents with general medical service from health to health rehabilitation which cover the whole life cycle. Methods: Changfeng Community Health Service Center actively explored the "1+1+1" family doctor double contract service, which was to further deepen the service in line with international standards on the basis of family doctor service mode. Through choosing the representative of the neighborhood committee, determining the pilot family, and selecting outstanding family doctor, the contracted services were implemented, the work processes detailed, and quality services provided. Results: Through carrying out the 1+1+1 family doctor double signing service work, we improved the level of family doctor diagnosis and health management, promoted degraded diagnosis and treatment, and made the awareness rate of residents' health knowledge higher and meanwhile made it convenient for patients to seek medical treatment, but also improved the rate of health, participation rate of activities, medical compliance and satisfaction of health knowledge among residents. Conclusion: The family doctor double contract service pilot work has not only standardized the medical service work of the family doctor team, promoted the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment, strengthened health management, but also been beneficial to the improvement of the whole population medical service level.
Nocturnal hypertension is highly prevalent among Chinese and Asian populations, which is mainly attributed to high salt intake and high salt sensitivity. Nocturnal hypertension increases the risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, independent of daytime blood pressure (BP). However, it can usually be detected by 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring, rather than routine office or home BP measurement, thus is often underdiagnosed in clinical practice. Currently, no specific guidance is available for the management of nocturnal hypertension in China or worldwide. Experts from the Chinese Hypertension League summarized the epidemiologic and pathophysiologic characteristics and clinical phenotype of nocturnal hypertension and provided consensus recommendations on optimal management of nocturnal hypertension, with the goal of maximally reducing the cardiovascular disease risks. In this consensus document, 24-h ABPM is recommended for screening and diagnosis of nocturnal hypertension, especially in the elderly, patients with diabetes, chronic kidney diseases, obstructive sleep apnea and other conditions prone to high nocturnal BP. Lifestyle modifications including salt intake restriction, exercise, weight loss, sleep improvement, and mental stress relief are recommended. Long-acting antihypertensive medications are preferred for nocturnal and 24-h BP control. Some newly developed agents, renal denervation, and other device-based therapy on nocturnal BP reduction are evaluated.
The standardized residency training of general practice is a complex project, the functional departments of the training base should play an active role for its management.

Background and Objectives Serum uric acid (sUA) level has been reported to be associated with arteriosclerotic cardiovascular risk, yet remains poorly defined in Chinese type 2 diabetes patients. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate gender differences in the association between sUA level and arteriosclerotic cardiovascular risk in Chinese type 2 diabetes patients. Methods The cross-sectional study was conducted in six community health service centers in Shanghai, China from December 2014 to December 2016. A stratified random sampling method was used to recruit participants. From a total of 3977 type 2 diabetic patients, 2537 were included for the analysis of the association between sUA level and arteriosclerotic cardiovascular risk. Clinical and biochemical data were obtained from participants. Arteriosclerotic cardiovascular risk was evaluated by the ten-year risk profile for arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The associations between sUA level and arteriosclerotic cardiovascular risk were assessed via multiple logistic regression. Results Of the 2537 participants, the average sUA level was 317±77umol/L in men and 294±73 umol/L in women, and 54.8% (1391/2537) of participants had high ten-year risk of arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), which was ≥20%. High ten-year risk of ASCVD odds ratio was increased by 1.596 (95% CI, 1.113–2.289, p for trend 0.004) comparing fourth to first quartiles of sUA in women. However, no significant association was found between sUA and high ten-year risk of ASCVD in men. Conclusion This community-based study indicated that sUA levels were independently associated with high ten-year risk of ASCVD in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus, but not in men.

AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of the Spring Seedling Project‐Zhaotong program, a novel continuing medical education program, to improve the knowledge and skills of rural doctors in China.DesignAn uncontrolled single‐group pre‐ and post‐intervention design based on quantitative and qualitative methods.SettingZhaotong is a prefecture‐level city located in Yunnan, China.ParticipantsA total of 1866 country doctors practising in Zhaotong were enrolled.InterventionsThe Zhaotong program consisted of three stages: remote education, workshops conducted in Zhaotong and field training in Shanghai.Main outcome measuresThe effectiveness of the remote education and Zhaotong workshop stages was assessed based on differences between pre‐ and post‐training test scores. Qualitative comments were collected to assess the experience of country doctors following the Shanghai field training stage.ResultsIn total, 1866 country doctors (46.9% males; mean age: 38.2 ± 9.2 years) participated in the program. The average score of the post‐training test was higher than that of the pre‐training test, both online (P < .001) and offline (P < .001). In regard to the Zhaotong workshops, with the exception of incisions/suturing, the average scores of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, gynaecological examinations and child growth/development were improved after training (P < .001). Qualitative analysis showed that Shanghai field training enhanced understanding of general practice, with the majority of country doctors indicating that they would apply what they learned in daily practice.ConclusionThis study introduced an comprehensive form of continuing medical education for rural doctors in Zhaotong and proved the effectiveness of this program and also provided a reference point for the future development of continuing medical education.
Objective:To survey the status of antihypertensive therapy knowledge and hypertension management among general practitioners in community health centers (CHCs) in China.Methods:Based on the eastern, western, southern and northern regions of the country, 350 CHCs were selected from 11 cities across the country with stratified sampling method for study sites, and one general practitioner was selected from each CHC. The questionnaire survey was conducted from March 12 to April 20, 2018 among 350 participants. The content of the questionnaire included the proportion of hypertensive patients in the consultation, treatment target rate, antihypertensive drugs and protocol, the medication compliance, follow-up, blood pressure self-measurement, and the impact of hierachical medical system on CHC.Results:Total 350 valid questionnaires were recovered. The survey showed that: (1) Among the patients treated by general practitioners, 46% (30%, 60%) were hypertensive patients including 41% (40%, 55%) with primary hypertension and 42% (40%, 50%) with secondary hypertension; 72% (60%, 80%) of the patients had comorbidities, including dyslipidemia, diabetes, and coronary heart disease. (2) Western medicine was the main antihypertensive treatment [90% (82%, 100%) ], calcium channel blockers were the most commonly used antihypertensive drug [46%(30%,60%)], the therapeutic protocol was mainly single agent [35% (25%, 50%) ]or free combination [50% (40%, 60%) ]; the stable(9.1±0.8), long-acting (9.0±0.9) and high standard reaching rate (8.1±1.1) antihypertensive drugs were first considered, and the standard reaching rate of hypertension treatment was 61% (50%, 75%) . (3) The regular follow-up rate, adherence to blood pressure self-test rate and long-term regular medication rate was 60%(50%,70%), 51%(40%,70%) and 65%(50%,70%), respectively. The factors affecting patients′ compliance were history of cardiovascular diseases (8.4±1.1)and patients′ cognition of disease(8.3±1.1). General practitioners believed that the positive effects of the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system include helping to establish a closer relationship with patients [62.6% (219/350)] and improving patient compliance for community preferential reimbursement policies[58.6% (205/350) ]. The challenges faced by CHC included higher patient expectations [52.8% (185/350)] and increased outpatient visits [52.6% (184/350)]. Insufficient diagnostic equipment [68.3% (239/350)], inadequate dispensing [52.3% (183/350)] and other issues restricted the development of CHC, and the clinical competence of general practitioners [51.7% (181/350)] need to be improved.Conclusion:Patients with hypertension account for about half of the total number of visits in community health service centers, and most of them are comorbid with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases or risk factors. The long-term treatment compliance and self-management of blood pressure need to be further improved.
2020年冬春之交的新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情中,基层全科医生全力参与流行病学调查、患者的诊断和治疗、公众教育及社区抗疫指导,使人们再次聚焦全科医生及时、快速、长期、持续的医疗照顾.但此过程中也暴露出推进适当转诊、分诊和维持有效的分级诊疗体系依然挑战重重.笔者认为,新冠肺炎之役充分体现了全科医学在分级诊疗和公共卫生中的重要作用,全科医生的职业素养和专业能力至关重要,应将更多资源投入到全科医学的毕业后教育,在全国范围内广泛培养合格的全科医生.由此引发相关的思考和建议:(1)医学人文教育应与专业教育相结合,重视医学史的系统教育;(2)加强全科医生基层医疗服务能力的培养;(3)优化培训方式,适当延长毕业后医学教育的社区实践时间.
Objective:To assess the concept and clinical practice of general practitioners in community health service centers (CHCs) on the use of antiplatelet drugs (APD) to prevent cardiovascular diseases(CVD).Methods:Based on the eastern, western, southern and northern regions of the country, 350 CHCs were selected from 11 cities across the country with stratified sampling method for study sites, and one general practitioner was selected from each CHC. The questionnaire survey was conducted from March 12 to April 20, 2018 among 350 participants. The content of the questionnaire included the situation of CVD patients, application of APD in primary/secondary prevention of CVD (schemes and regimes), the prescription concept of APD, and influencing factors.Results:Total 350 valid questionnaires were recovered. The survey showed that among all patients general practitioners routinely took care, 46% (30%, 60%) were hypertensive patients; 96.6% (338/350) of the general practitioners said that they had carried out primary prevention, mainly for patients with hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia or carotid artery plaque, and 34% (20%, 45%) of the patients had taken primary prevention drugs; the use of APD only accounted for 47% (35%, 60%) , among which 87% (80%, 95%) was aspirin. The main impediments were lack of awareness of disease from patients[ (8.0±1.4) points] and lack of awareness of primary prophylaxis from general practitioners[ (7.3±1.4) points]. The survey also showed that 28% (20%, 35%) and 17% (10%, 20%) patients were diagnosed as coronary heart disease and stroke, respectively; 83% (80%, 95%) of patients with coronary heart disease or stroke used APD for secondary prophylaxis; for coronary heart disease patients, 82% (70%, 95%) taking aspirin or clopidogrel, 18% (5%, 30%) taking aspirin and clopidogrel for 11 months; for stroke patients, 85% (80%, 95%) taking aspirin or clopidogrel, 15% (5%, 20%) taking aspirin and clopidogrel for 9 months. Compared with clopidogrel, aspirin had a relatively high score for clinical experience (8.3±1.1) and reasonable cost of treatment (8.3±1.3) .Most coronary heart disease patients (68%±15%) and stroke patients (70%±17%) took APD regularly. The lack of knowledge of disease [(8.4±1.1) points] and awareness of regular medication [(8.2±1.2) points] were the main factors affecting compliance of patients.Conclusion:The use of APD in primary prevention of CVD for general practitioners is insufficient, and there is still a big gap between the standardization and the practice in secondary prevention; in particular, the selection of APDs and treatment course should strictly follow the guidelines.
