Addressing social determinants is critical to achieving the End TB Strategy targets. However, the impact of tuberculosis (TB) programmatic indicators amenable to short-term interventions on TB incidence remains underexplored. We aimed to identify modifiable social determinants and evaluate their impact on TB incidence in different risk-specific areas. We compiled individual-level surveillance data on reported pulmonary TB (PTB) cases and county-level data on 12 social determinants between 2011 and 2018 across 108 counties in Shaanxi Province, China. A Bayesian spatiotemporal model quantified associations between PTB incidence rate and social determinants. Model-estimated relative risks (RRs; x-axis) and their annual percentage change (APC; y-axis) were integrated to construct an RR–APC plane diagram for classifying different risk-specific counties. Counterfactual analysis estimated potential reduction in PTB incidence rate if the referral and tracing percentage for PTB patients and suspected cases or the percentage of PTB cases confirmed bacteriologically in these counties were increased to 2018 provincial benchmarks. Five social determinants were significantly associated with PTB incidence rate. A 1
Expanding tuberculosis preventive treatment (TPT) for high-risk populations with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is a key component of the End TB Strategy. However, the high-risk population size is small, which may have limited impact on reducing TB incidence. We aimed to evaluate the health impact and cost-effectiveness of expanding TPT to key community-level population We developed a dynamic transmission model incorporating the effect of TPT and seasonal variations in TB incidence. The model was calibrated by monthly pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) case data during 2011–2018 from Shaanxi province, China, and validated by data in 2019. We first assessed the TB epidemic trend for seven expanding TPT strategies and sought the optimal TPT strategy that can reach the target of the End TB Strategy by 2035. Then, we calculated the incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER) of this optimal TPT strategy with five TPT regimens (isoniazid monotherapy with two different durations, rifampin monotherapy, and combinations of isoniazid with rifampin or rifapentine) over 2025–2050, compared with no TPT, from a health system perspective. A willingness-to-pay threshold of US 36,378 (three times the per-capita gross domestic product of Shaanxi province in 2023) was used. The optimal TPT strategy is implementing TPT for all WHO-recommended populations and individuals with LTBI aged ≥ 50 at the community level (starting in 2025 with full coverage within 1 year), which could reduce the PTB incidence rate to 1.83/100,000 by 2035, meeting the WHO target of a 90

Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is a major health issue in Northwest China. Most previous studies on the spatiotemporal patterns of PTB considered all PTB cases as a whole; they did not distinguish notified bacteriologically positive PTB (BP-PTB) and notified bacteriologically negative PTB (BN-PTB). Thus, the spatiotemporal characteristics of notified BP-PTB and BN-PTB are still unclear. A retrospective county-level spatial epidemiological study (2011–2018) was conducted in Shaanxi, Northwest China. In total, 44,894 BP-PTB cases were notified, with an average annual incidence rate of 14.80 per 100,000 persons between 2011 and 2018. Global Moran’s I values for notified BP-PTB ranged from 0.19 to 0.49 ( P < 0.001). Anselin’s local Moran’s I analysis showed that the high–high (HH) cluster for notified BP-PTB incidence was mainly located in the southernmost region. The primary spatiotemporal cluster for notified BP-PTB ( LLR = 612.52, RR = 1.77, P < 0.001) occurred in the central region of the Guanzhong Plain in 2011. In total, 116,447 BN-PTB cases were notified, with an average annual incidence rate of 38.38 per 100,000 persons between 2011 and 2018. Global Moran’s I values for notified BN-PTB ranged from 0.39 to 0.69 (P < 0.001). The HH clusters of notified BN-PTB were mainly located in the north between 2011 and 2014 and in the south after 2015. The primary spatiotemporal cluster for notified BN-PTB ( LLR = 1084.59, RR = 1.85, P < 0.001) occurred in the mountainous areas of the southernmost region from 2014 to 2017. Spatiotemporal clustering of BP-PTB and BN-PTB was detected in the poverty-stricken mountainous areas of Shaanxi, Northwest China. Our study provides evidence for intensifying PTB control activities in these geographical clusters.
BACKGROUND Although gestation and childbirth are progressive physical processes for most pregnant women, there are both physical and great psychosocial challenges throughout the process, which increase the sensitivity and vulnerability of women. Even for women with low-risk pregnancies, it is common to experience degrees of fear, especially for primipara women when faced with childbirth. During their first pregnancy, women may have no relevant health knowledge or experience with delivery and have difficulty identifying prenatal depression and other existing mental health factors; a fear of childbirth (FOC) may engender adverse outcomes for mothers and babies. Social support is a very important influential factor for prenatal depression. METHODS This study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional design. The participant cohort involved 609 primipara women (≥18 years old) who had received routine prenatal care and visited a tertiary care hospital in Xi'an. The participants completed structured questionnaires, including the 10-item Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), 12-item Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and 33-item Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire (W-DEQ), alongside contribution of information regarding their demographic characteristics. Descriptive and correlation analyses were adopted to verify the correlations among these variables. Multiple regression models were examined by the SPSS PROCESS procedure with bootstrapping to confirm the significance of the mediation effect. RESULTS The widespread prevalence of FOC in healthy pregnant women was 22.3% (WDEQ score ≥85). The mean scores of depression, social support, as well as FOC scores of participants were 9.50 (5.19), 70.91 (9.25), and 70.43 (20.88), respectively. Remarkable correlations were identified between pregnancy depressive symptoms, social support, and FOC. Results presented an indirect effect, indicating that the impacts of antenatal depression on FOC were mediated by social support. CONCLUSIONS Perceived social support played a mediating role between antenatal depression and FOC among healthy primipara women. Techniques and suggestions for boosting social support may be expected to have a positive impact on the depressive symptoms of pregnant women with FOC.
Aim Fear of childbirth (FOC) is an extreme state of anxiety, distress and worry about childbirth. Despite its common occurrence, the prevalence and risk factors for FOC are inadequately understood in the northwestern region of China. Purpose This study aimed to examine the prevalence and risk factors for fear of childbirth (FOC) in a cohort of pregnant women in northwest of China. Patients and Methods A total of 922 healthy pregnant women were included in this cross-sectional study. Participants filled out a questionnaire on socio-demographic characteristics, as well as the Childbirth Attitudes Questionnaire (CAQ), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and the Pregnancy Pressure Scale (PPS). Psychosocial factors were analyzed to determine their association with fear of childbirth. Optimal scale regression analysis was used to determine the risk factors associated with FOC. Results The mean score on the CAQ was 33.92 ± 10.17. A total of 72% of participants reported low to mild FOC. Six percent (n=51/922) and 22% (n=199/922) of pregnant women reported severe and moderate FOC, respectively. Based on optimal scaling regression analysis, the factors most strongly associated with FOC were residence, marital status, parity, gestational age, relationship with partner, pregnancy stress, social support and depressive symptoms. Conclusion This study indicates the high prevalence of FOC (70.3%, ranging from mild to severe) in healthy pregnant women in northwest of China. FOC showed a positive correlation with pregnancy-related stress and depressive symptoms and a negative correlation with social support. Screening for FOC and helping pregnant women identify a support system early in pregnancy could reduce a woman’s stress level and severity of depression.

For DR-TB patients, effective adaptation is crucial to prevent disease progression, improve health outcomes and decrease mortality. To date, there is no appropriate tool for evaluating the adaptation status of DR-TB patients. In this work, we aim to develop an adjustment scale for DR-TB patients (AS-DRTBP) and to evaluate its psychometric properties. Patients and Methods: The development of the AS-DRTBP was based on the theory of the Roy adaptation model (RAM). The scale was designed through a literature review, indepth individual interviews, a Delphi survey, and pilot testing. In total, 433 patients with DRTB were recruited to validate the instrument. The split-half reliability coefficient, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, and test-retest reliability coefficient were calculated to assess the reliability of the instrument. Content validity, construct validity and concurrent validity tests were applied to calculate the validity of the instrument. Results: The final AS-DRTBP consisted of four dimensions and 26 items. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, split-half reliability coefficient and test-retest reliability coefficient were 0.893, 0.954, and 0.853, respectively. The content validity index was 0.92. Four factors that explained 64.605% of the total variance were also further determined by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The CFA results showed that the fitting effect of the model was appropriate (CMIN/DF = 1.681, GFI = 0.832, AGFI = 0.799, RMSEA = 0.055, SRMR = 0.0684). The AS-DRTBP and adjustment scale had correlation in the total score, and the correlation coefficient was 0.355 (p<0.05). Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrate that the AS-DRTBP is a reliable and valid instrument formeasuring the adaptation status of patients withDR-TB, allowing health providers to comprehend the adaptive level of DR-TB patients and thus laying the foundation for interventions to help these patients achieve a physiologically, psychologically and socially optimal outcome.

The role of health literacy on tuberculosis patients has not been evaluated in China, in part because few special health literacy measurements exist. A three-step design process was used: (1) Scale construction: Based on the model of revised Bloom’s taxonomy, the item-pool was drafted from a literature review, focus group discussion, and in-depth interviews. In addition, a Delphi survey was used in order to select items for inclusion in the scales; (2) Pilot study: Acceptability and clarity were tested with 60 tuberculosis patients; and (3) Psychometric testing: Validity analysis includes content validity, construct validity, and discriminative validity. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, split-half reliability, and test-retest method were used to assess reliability. Finally, a receiver operating characteristic analysis was conducted to generate a cut-off point. The final scale had 29 items with four domains. The item level Content Validity Index ranged from 0.70 to 1.0, and the scale level Content Validity Index was 0.95. The mean score among the lowest 27% group was significantly lower than that those of the highest 27% group (p < 0.01), which supports adequate discriminant validity. Explanatory factor analysis produced a clear four-factor construct, explaining 47.254% of the total variance. Factor 1 and Factor 2 were consistent with read and memorize TB-related words; Factor 3 was associated with understand the meaning of the health education leaflets and examine if TB patients can apply the correct approach to correct context; Factor 4 was related to the ability of TB patient to calculate and identify what unspecified assumptions are included in known conditions. The confirmatory factory analysis results confirmed that a four-factor model was an acceptable fit to the data, with a goodness-of-fit index = 0.930, adjusted goodness of fit index = 0.970, root mean square error of approximation = 0.069, and χ2/df = 2.153. The scale had good internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Additionally, the receiver operating characteristic analysis indicated that the cut-off point for the instrument was set at 45 and 35. The Chinese Health Literacy scale for Tuberculosis has good reliability and validity, and it could be used for measuring the health literacy of Chinese patients with tuberculosis.
Aiming at the current needs of people's tourism and the difficulty in selecting tourist attractions,this paper propos?es an content-based Recommendations model based on user specific features for scenic spot. According to the specific features of us?er selection,the evaluation view set and user feature set are extracted from the set of self-built tourist attractions review data set, and the user feature set is generated by combining the specific features selected by the user,to avoid the problem of the sparse fea?ture of the new user,and then the Cosine similarity is calculated according to the comments and user features,and the item with high similarity to the user is recommended. The experiment shows that the research method based on the specific features and con?tent of the user is better than the common collaborative filtering recommendations in the accuracy rate and recall rate,and the PR and ROC curves are good. And content-based recommendations is user independence,transparency and new item problem have greater advantages. The limitation of this research is that content-based recommendations can not mine the potential interests of us?ers. The method has a good decision-making function for the tourist to choose the traveling target.
