The call for "Working Together to Build a Community of Shared Future for Mankind" requires us to improve people's health across the globe, while global health development entails a satisfactory answer to a fundamental question: "What is global health?" To promote research, teaching, policymaking, and practice in global health, we summarize the main...

The new coronavirus outbreak gets everyone's attention. China's national actions against the outbreak have contributed great contributions to the world. China has been learning from practice for better reporting and is fast to adapt itself. In this article we discuss China's practice in public reporting and its implications to global health. Confir...

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and healthcare-associated infection (HAI) are among the biggest global public health challenges, and overlap widely. These infections cause significant morbidity and mortality, put pressure on health systems, and incur rising direct and indirect costs. Objective: This study analyzed the direct medical b...

The purpose of this study was to conduct a preliminary study to assess knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) associated with antibiotic use among medical students (MS) and non-medical students (NMS) at Kathmandu University, Nepal. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to 1223 students for a cross-sectional study. In total, 1222 questi...

Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are among the most serious public health problems and overall estimate indicates that at any point, over 1.4 million people are suffering from health care associated infection globally. According to the WHO report, the frequency of nosocomial infection is 10% in S...

Supplemental_material – Supplemental material for Doctors’ Job Satisfaction and Its Relationships With Doctor-Patient Relationship and Work-Family Conflict in China: A Structural Equation Modeling

We analyzed China’s current use of and microbial resistance to antibiotics, and possible means of reducing antimicrobial resistance. Interventions like executive orders within clinical settings and educational approach with vertical approaches rather than an integrated strategy to curb the use of antimicrobials remain limited. An underlying problem...

This study estimated the attributable direct medical economic burden of health care–associated infections (HAIs) in China. Data were extracted from hospitals’ information systems.

差错报告是组织发现差错的主要途径，员工差错报告意愿的影响因素是重要的研究议题。本文整合理性行为理论、自愿行为理论和工作设计理论，构建了一个包含个体因素（ 感知成本、感知收益）、情境因素（ 差错沟通气氛、任务相关性）、工作的差错特征（差错类型、差错容忍度）三类影响因素的概念模型。运用404份员工调査问卷的数据进行假设检验，研究结果表明：第一， 报告态度和主观规范均正向影响报告意愿，主观规范正向影响报告态度；第二，感知成本负向影响报告态度，感知收益正向影响报告态度，差错沟通气氛和任务相关性均正向影响主观规范； 第三， 知识型差错弱化感知成本对报告态度的负向影响， 差错容忍度强化任务相关性对主观规范的正向影响。

Third-grade hospitals in Beijing have been rapidly developing in capacity and scale for many years. These hospitals receive a large number of patients, and ensuring their efficient operation is crucial in meeting people's healthcare needs. In this context, a study of their relative efficiency and productivity would be helpful to identify the drivin...

Nitrogen-incorporated TS-1 zeolite (N-TS-1) was synthesized by direct calcining the as-synthesized TS-1 powder in NH3 flow at high temperature. Epoxidation of 1-hexene with dilute H2O2 over N-TS-1 was studied. The results showed that the catalytic activity and selectivity of TS-1 were greatly improved upon post-synthetic nitridation. A new TiOOH in...
