BACKGROUND:Gatekeeper policy, requiring a patient to visit a primary care provider first, and the patient needs to get his or her primary care provider's referral before seeing a specialist or going to a hospital, has been implemented in China for about ten years, and it is necessary to assess the patients' acceptance of gatekeeper policy and to explore the factors influencing patients' acceptance.METHODS:A cross-sectional study with 1162 respondents was conducted between July and September 2015 at four community health centers (CHCs) in Wuhan, China. Face-to-face interview was used to collect information on demographics, acceptance of the gate keeper policy and satisfaction with community health services. Patients' satisfaction with community health service was evaluated using the European Patients Evaluate General/Family Practice scale and binary logistic regression model was used to examine the factors influencing patients' acceptance of community health services as gate keepers.RESULTS:A total of 512 (43.06%) patients accepted gatekeeper policy. Mandatory reimbursement provision (OR: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.23-2.15), patient satisfaction with the aspects of medical care (OR: 1.92, 95% CI: 1.12-3.29) and organization of care (OR: 1.66, 95% CI: 1.05-2.62) were associated with acceptance of gatekeeper policy, after adjusting for potential confounders. Moreover, young people (OR: 0.35, 95%CI: 0.22-0.56) seemed to be more reluctant to accept the policy, when compared with the elder.CONCLUSIONS:Our study suggests that mandatory reimbursement provision greatly affects patients' acceptance of gatekeeper policy, therefore, the policy-maker should pay attention to the negative effect of its mandatory reimbursement provision on patients' acceptance of the policy. However, improving the aspects of medical care and organization of care will contribute to implementation of gatekeeper policy.
Epidemiological studies have clarified the potential associations between regular aspirin use and cancers. However, it remains controversial on whether aspirin use decreases the risk of cancers risks. Therefore, we conducted an updated meta-analysis to assess the associations between aspirin use and cancers.
OBJECTIVES:To assess the prevalence and factors associated with physical and nonphysical violence in a sample of general practitioners (GPs).METHODS:We used a cross-sectional design to collect data from December 2014 to March 2015 with a structured self-administered questionnaire from 1015 GPs in Hubei Province, Central China (response rate, 85.6%). We used a multivariable logistic regression model to identify the predictors associated with workplace violence toward GPs.RESULTS:Of the respondents, 62.2% of respondents reported exposure to workplace violence in the preceding year, including 18.9% and 61.4% who encountered physical and nonphysical violence, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis suggested that GPs who were male, at a higher professional level, and who had a lower average monthly income were more likely to experience physical violence. Male GPs, less-experienced GPs, and those with administrative responsibility were more likely than their counterparts to encounter nonphysical violence.CONCLUSIONS:This study shows that the prevalence of workplace violence against GPs is high in Hubei, China. Creating a prevention strategy and providing safer workplace environments for GPs should be urgently prioritized.
Observational studies suggest that shift work may be associated with prostate cancer. However, the results are inconsistent. The objective of this study is to quantitatively assess the association between shift work and the risk of prostate cancer. Relevant studies were identified by a comprehensive search of the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases to September 2017. We also reviewed the reference lists from retrieved articles. Observational studies that reported relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between shift work and the risk of prostate cancer were included. Linear and non-linear dose-response meta-analyses were performed. Fifteen studies with 16 independent reports involving 2 546 822 individuals and 10 715 patients with prostate cancer were included. The pooled adjusted RR for the association between ever exposure to shift work and prostate cancer risk was 1.23 (95% CI, 1.08-1.41; P < 0.001). A non-linear association of prostate cancer risk with duration of shift work was identified (P for non-linearity = 0.001). Subgroup analysis demonstrated a higher pooled RR of prostate cancer for studies among Asian populations (RR = 1.98, 95% CI, 1.34-2.93; P = 0.618). A positive association was observed in rotating shift groups (RR = 1.10, 95% CI, 1.00-1.26; P = 0.156), but not in other shift groups. Integrated evidence from this meta-analysis suggests that shift work is significantly associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer, and a non-linear association between duration of shift work and prostate cancer was found.
Objective To investigate the acceptance of gatekeeper system among patients with state medicine and to explore its influence factors. Methods Four community health service centers( CHCs)held by non - medical institutions of higher learning in Wuhan from July to November in 2015 were randomly selected,and 1 200 patients with state medicine and came to CHCs for medical treatment during this period were selected. The Questionnaire Survey of Community Residents designed by research groups was used in this study,and it mainly included patients' basic data,seeking health care behaviors,health condition,intention and cognition of gatekeeper system and evaluation of CHCs. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to explore the influencing factors of the acceptance of gatekeeper system among patients with state medicine. Results A total of 1 162 valid questionnaires were collected,and the effective response rate was 96. 8%. Of these,782(67. 3% )patients with state medicine were familiar with the gatekeeper system and 862(74. 2% )were willing to accept it. There was no significant difference in the acceptance rate of the gatekeeper system among patients with different gender,educational degree,family monthly income and self - rated health status scores(P ﹥ 0. 05);there was significant difference in the acceptance rate of the gatekeeper system among patients with different age,different annual visiting times,and whether patients understand the gatekeeper system,whether patients believed that the diagnosis and treatment level,the medical equipment or drugs supply of CHCs can meet the diagnosis and treatment requirement of common diseases,and whether patients are satisfied with CHCs services(P ﹤ 0. 05). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age,whether patients understand the gatekeeper system,whether patients are satisfied with CHCs services significantly influence the acceptance of the gatekeeper system(P ﹤ 0. 05). Conclusion The acceptance of gatekeeper system among patients with state medicine is relatively high, and it is feasible to implement gatekeeper system from the analyzing perspectives of patients. Age,whether patients understand the relevant policies of the gatekeeper system and whether they are satisfied with the CHCs services are its influencing factors. It is suggested to enhance propaganda work of gatekeeper system,improve patients' understanding of its connotation,and further improve community health services levels at the same time,so as to promote the full implementation of gatekeeper system.
The gatekeeper policy has been implemented for approximately ten years on a pilot population in China. It is necessary to assess the satisfaction of patients utilizing community health service (CHS) under the gatekeeper system. Our study showed that the cognition of gatekeeper policy was associated with four dimensions including doctor-patient relationships, information and support, organization of care, and accessibility (P < 0.001). One or more factors such as gender and self-perceived health scores also affected their satisfaction. General practitioners must be prepared to focus on these aspects of information and support, organization of care, and accessibility as indicators of potential opportunities for improvement. Additionally, policymakers can improve patients' satisfaction with CHS by strengthening their awareness of the gatekeeper policy.
A meta-analysis was performed to assess the association of coffee consumption with colorectal cancer and to investigate the shape of the association. Relevant prospective cohort studies were identified by a comprehensive search of the PubMed, Embase and Web of Science databases from their inception through August 2015. Either a random-effects model or fixed-effects model was used to compute the pooled risk estimates when appropriate. Linear and nonlinear dose-response meta-analyses were also performed. Nineteen prospective cohort studies involving 2,046,575 participants and 22,629 patients with colorectal cancer were included. The risk of colon cancer was decreased by 7% for every 4 cups per day of coffee (RR=0.93, 95%CI, 0.88-0.99; P=0.199). There was a threshold approximately five cups of coffee per day, and the inverse association for colorectal cancer appeared to be stronger at a higher range of intake. However, a nonlinear association of rectal cancer with coffee consumption was not observed (P for nonlinearity = 0.214). In conclusion, coffee consumption is significantly associated with a decreased risk of colorectal cancer at ≥ 5 cups per day of coffee consumption. The findings support the recommendations of including coffee as a healthy beverage for the prevention of colorectal cancer.
BACKGROUND:As a developing country with the world's largest population in a state of economic transition, reforms to China's health system, including community health services (CHS), are very complex and difficult. The aim of this study is to provide evidence and policy recommendations for the sustainable development of CHS for China, which could also be applicable to other developing countries.METHODS:A cross-sectional survey was conducted door-to-door and face-to-face in Wuhan city, central China with a sample of 1134 individuals aged 15 and older. The independent variables were duration of residence, previous treatment experience, familiarity with health staff, self-reported family economic status and health insurance. The dependent variables were views on the usefulness of CHS and willingness to use them. Sociodemographic variables and health status were used as control variables. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyse the influence of the independent variables on the dependent variables.FINDINGS:This study shows that 26.10% of participants reported that the CHSs are not useful and 37.74% reported they did not want to use their CHS. The results found 'familiarity with health staff' and 'previous experience of using services' had a negative influence on their views on usefulness of and willingness to use CHS.CONCLUSION:The aim of CHS to see 'minor illnesses treated in the community and serious illness treated in hospital' is not being fully realized. The key to increasing the use of CHS may be to enhance the quality of services and health staff. A policy pathway of targeting older residents and those with higher education levels as the priority population, and using these groups to encourage the rest of the community to seek minor services at CHS, may be an effective and sustainable development mechanism.

Emerg Med J. 2012; 29: 306-308 Crossref PubMed Scopus (59) Google Scholar ]. There are only a handful of studies on radiation safety knowledge among patients, and there is a lack of related studies on influencing factors. In addition, according to the bio-psycho-social medical model [ 17 Engel G.L. The need for a new medical model: a challenge for biomedicine. Science. 1977; 196: 129-136 Crossref PubMed Scopus (7568) Google Scholar ], the factors affecting disease need to be extended from the individual to society, and accordingly, this model must also be extended to the factors influencing patients' radiation safety. Furthermore, medical/hospital personnel must work together with patients and their accompanying family members to ensure the radiation safety of patients.
BACKGROUNDThe family, together with the individual and society, and the state and market are the three pillars of well-being and social security over the life course, with responsibility for the health of older adults.OBJECTIVEThe aim of current study was to explore the effect of intergenerational and intragenerational support on perceived health of older adults.METHODSA cross-sectional survey with 64.36% (1318/2048) response rate was conducted door to door in rural China with a sample of 1318 individuals aged 60 years and older. There were three sets of independent variables: intergenerational support from children as well as intragenerational spousal support and intragenerational sibling support, sociodemographic variables, and behaviour variables. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyse the influence of family member support on physical and psychological health.RESULTSAfter adjusting for potential confounding variables (sociodemographic variables and behaviour variables), it was observed that intergenerational support from children had a significant effect on the self-rated physical health and psychological health of older adults [odds ratios (OR) = 1.48, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.10-2.00; OR = 1.82, 95% CI: 1.36-2.44, respectively]. However, intragenerational support from spouse and siblings was not significant.CONCLUSIONThe importance of intergenerational support from children would suggest that family practice and health-related policy of older adults may need to be extended to their children. With the rapid development of global population movements, family practices need to pay attention to the changes of family support among migrant families.
