Path Analysis of Health Literacy, Social Support, and Self-Efficacy on Decisional Conflict in Patients with Stable Schizophrenia by He X, Xie Z, Xia Z, Liu X, Wei Y, Yang Y

“…Path analysis was performed by constructing a structural equation model, and the mediating effect between variables was validated by the bias-corrected nonparametric percentile bootstrap method.Results: Health literacy, social support, and self-efficacy together explained 20.4% of the variance in decisional conflict. (1) Severe decisional conflict group accounted for 82% of overall patients with stable schizophrenia. (2) there were strong and significant negative relationships between decisional conflict and health literacy, social support, self-efficacy and each of their dimensions (r=− 0.14– 0.27, P< 0.01 or P< 0.05). (3) The path analysis showed that health literacy directly affects decisional conflict (β=− 0.282); additionally, health literacy indirectly affects decisional conflict through social support (β=− 0.319), self-efficacy (β=− 0.010) and through the chain mediating effect of social support and self-efficacy (β=− 0.008).Conclusion: Patients with stable schizophrenia have serious decisional conflict in China, and necessary interventions have to be made. …”

Indoor Soundscape Perception and Soundscape Appropriateness Assessment While Working at Home: A Comparative Study with Relaxing Activities by Jiaxin Li, Yong Huang, Rumei Han, Yuan Zhang, Jian Kang

“…Our findings demonstrate that working at home creates a more demanding acoustic context: participants perceived indoor soundscapes as significantly less comfortable and less full of content when working compared to relaxing (<i>p</i> < 0.001), with natural sounds becoming less noticeable (−13.3%) and distracting household sounds more prominent (+7.5%). Structural equation modelling revealed distinct influence mechanisms: while comfort significantly mediates <i>SA</i> enhancement in both activities, the effect is stronger during relaxation (R² = 0.18). …”
