  • A Survey of Emergency Response Capability during Wenchuan Earthquake among College Students

    Objective To study the earthquake emergency response capability and post-earthquake psychological state of students after the Wenchuan earthquake. And also, to investigate the level of earthquake-related knowledge so as to provide basic information for enhancing the emergency response capabilities among college students. Methods We selected 1% Sichuan University students by convenience sample method and conducted the survey in person with a self-designed questionnaire. Results were analyzed with Epidata 3.0 and SPSS13.0 software. Results We distributed 527 questionnaires and 517 (97.27%) valid questionnaires were retrieved. Most college students had a good grasp of earthquake knowledge: 65.4% to 97.7% of the responders gave the correct answers, but only 12.77% said they had ever received earthquake survival training. 15.2% suffered from fear after the earthquake, 59.4% became uneasy, and 25.4% remained calm. Gender, grade, or major were not the factors influencing the psychological state of college students after the earthquake (P= 0.246, 0.216, and 0.406, respectively). Also, earthquake survival training did not influence the psychological state of college students after the earthquake (P=0.090). Psychological intervention after the earthquake was identified as an important factor that affected the psychological state of students (P=0.002). Conclusion College students have a good grasp of the basic knowledge regarding earthquake, but relevant survival training is far from sufficient. Universities should strengthen earthquake survival training, enhance the post-earthquake emergency response capacity of students, and carry out post-disaster psychological intervention directly following an earthquake. There is no significant difference in the mental status among students of different genders, grades, or professional backgrounds.

  • The Influence of Psychological Intervention on Immune Function and Psychological State in Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy after Radical Operation of Colorectal Cancer

    ObjectiveTo study the influence of psychological intervention on the immune function and psychological state in patients undergoing chemotherapy after radical operation of colorectal cancer. MethodSixty-four patients who underwent chemotherapy after eradicative resection of rectal cancer between August 2008 and August 2013 were randomly divided into control group and intervention group. Both the two groups of patients accepted conventional chemotherapy and nursing, while patients in the intervention group were also given psychological intervention. At the beginning of and 8 weeks after the therapy, self-evaluation of anxiety scale and depression self-rating scale were used to determine the psychological state (anxiety and depression) of patients in the two groups, and we evaluated the effect of psychological intervention. At the same time, the immune index and inflammatory cytokines were determined and compared between the two groups. ResultsBefore treatment, patients in both the two groups were accompanied by mild anxiety and depression. After psychological intervention, compared with the control group, anxiety and depression of patients in the intervention group were significantly alleviated (P<0.05). Before chemotherapy, patients in the two groups were not statistically different in the immune factor index (P>0.05). After chemotherapy, compared with the control group, natural killer cells, CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+, C-reactive protein, immunoglobulin (Ig) G, interleukin (IL)-10 level of the intervention group significantly increased (P<0.05), and IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha expression decreased (P<0.05). CD8+, IgA and IgM were not significantly changed (P>0.05). ConclusionsPsychological intervention can alleviate anxiety and depression and improve the immune function in patients who undergo chemotherapy after radical operation of colorectal cancer, which is an effective auxiliary treatment.
