女子学生の健康度と生活習慣に関する調査

The stress that is one of these causes becomes a big social problem; the reason is that stress gives bad influence for mind and body of children. Research on various types of stress is being conducted from a wide range of perspectives, and there are many reports dealing with students in school education settings. The aim of this study, therefore, was to analyze health reactions and tendencies in lifestyle habits of students in different faculties and departments at a general women’s university, to identify the causes of the results, and obtain basic data required for individual physical and psychological health promotion. Analysis of the results showed a tendency for health levels and lifestyle habits to differ according to department. Physical activity waned, and it was predicted that when specific female physical complaints were added, the situation of stress would become long drawn out, further fostering feelings of oppression and fatigue. It is important for the maintenance of physical and mental health that students themselves look at the causes of their stress, revise their own lifestyle habits, and endeavor to overcome the biological reaction to stress. Furthermore, on the psychological front, it is necessary to heighten emotional self-control and to try to ensure smooth human relations with the support of specialist. That is, it seems that the important factors in maintaining physical and mental health are being aware of one’s own stress and achieving and maintaining improved lifestyle habits

競技スポーツにおける受傷経験がメンタルヘルスに及ぼす影響

In a precedent study, it is suggested that the player at the period of rehabilitation received a psychological stress by the influence of sport-related injury. Given the psychological influence by sport-related injury, as well as appropriate treatment of the field of medical science, the decrease of a psychological stress is important for the early healing and a return to play. Therefore this study was aimed at structure basics document for social support by clarifying the influence that injury experience gave the mental health of the player. We has conducted an opinion survey of 130 university students, on the psychophysical condition at the time of the injury of high school days and the consciousness investigation of the rehabilitation period. Furthermore, we tried comparison analysis by sex and injury, analyzed a tendency of each mental health. As a result, occurrence mechanism of the stress at the time of injury and psychological sex difference became clear. The man who experienced injury had appealed for complaint by the influence of physical high stress. While the female person experienced injury had much physical complaint peculiar to woman, there was little mental complaint. From these results, it seems that the experience that got over adverse circumstances in rehabilitation promoted mental growth

Titanium and Germanium used by athletes are said to alleviate pain and relax muscles. In a precedent study，Titanium seals are said to improve athlete’s fundamental motor ability. In a previous study，titanium seals were placed on university rhythmic gymnasts to ascertain psychological and physical effects. Improvements in parameters such as fundamental motor ability were seen in athletes who highly valued the use of titanium seals but no changes were seen in athletes who gave the seals a low evaluation. The former group had experienced alleviation of pain and freer and easier movement through the use of titanium seals and the information functioned as a suggestive effect. In pharmacological studies，the placebo effect must be taken into account when assessing drug efficacy to gain objectivity and scientific reliability. Psychosomatic interactions affect cognitive assessment in the cerebral cortex influence various biological functions，resulting in different biological reactions. In the field of sport science，cognitive assessment of the placebo effect is believed to be related to psychological factors based on personalities and traits. In the present study，titanium，germanium and dummy were applied in the same shape and manner to assess the placebo effect on university students and investigate individual differences in cognitive assessment

呼吸法によるストレス低減の試み : 女子学生を対象に

In the present age, mechanization of the labor form and complication of the human relation became a cause of critical stress. As countermeasure, various stress coping is practiced. When the stress is prolonged, it is influenced for eating habits and rhythm of the life, various symptoms in the mind and body appear. This becomes the factor which induces a new stress. These are making mind and body produce distortion, and cause an illness of the heart. Therefore, a modern\u27s quality of life is reduced. In the precedence research, the effectiveness of relaxation training method mainly on breathing and muscular relaxation has been verified. This training is reduced of the stress, raised the function of natural healing, and it recovers the health of the mind and body. However, even if it recognizes the training effect enough, for the man of today who is obliged to a busy life, reservation of training time is difficult. Therefore, the practice method which can be enforced in a short time is also indispensable in the intervals of work or studies. Then, this research aimed at examining the effect of the short program using the breathing method which is the base of yoga or mental training aiming at reduction of stress

女子学生生徒を対象としたストレスコーピングに関する研究

In the present age, learning environments of school has changed. Space for the play ground has vanished because of urbanization and urban renewal, lifestyle has changed over to unsocial and the connections of human relations have decreased. Such a change affects mind and body. These changes cause bullying, school refusal, social with draw, depression, withdrawal, indifference. The stress that is one of these causes becomes a big social problem ; the reason is that stress gives bad influence for mind and body of children. When the stress is prolonged, it is influenced for eating habits and rhythm of the life, various symptoms in the mind and body appear. This becomes the factor which induces a new stress. These are making mind and body produce distortion, and cause an illness of the heart. Therefore, a modern\u27s quality of life is reduced. Based on such a present status, I paid attention to breathing method as means to reduce stress. The effectiveness of breathing method is demonstrated in many precedent studies. However, there are few studies that considered a student to be an investigation subject. Breathing method is based on yoga breathing. It promotes the blood circulation and stabilizes an autonomic nervous system. In addition, it promotes activity of the internal organs. It that is to say leads to reduction of stress. Therefore I used breathing method as stress coping and inspected the effect. A purpose of this study is to contribute to reduction of stress and improvement of Quality of Life

スポーツ傷害における情動的反応の傾向 ―性差に着目して―

In recent years, many problems related to sports injuries have been reported, among them suggestions of the tremendous burden and serious stress placed on an athlete’s psychology by receiving an injury. In addition to physical pain, pessimistic feelings of regret, anxiety, frustration, and inferiority occur, and occasionally render long term rehabilitation inevitable, ending an athlete’s lifestyle without being able to return to competitive life. According to a report published by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology （1996）, the incidence of sports injury among high school students is over 60％. However, a previously reported survey of female students at sports universities（ 2008） demonstrated that 90％ of athletes had in fact experienced injury. Furthermore, the results of the Diagnostic Inventory for Mental Health Pattern revealed that nearly 30％ of those who had experienced sports injury were of the“ fatigue-type” demonstrating the exhaustion stage of stress, while nearly 20％ were of the“ struggling-type” representing the stress resistance stage. If these stages are prolonged, they can impose a severe stress burden, affecting the efficacy of rehabilitation and possibly delaying recovery. These findings show that while correct medical treatment should be received as a matter of course, it is also necessary to simultaneously consider reducing psychological stress in order to achieve early recovery for sports injury and a return to competition. Therefore, the present study aimed to clarify the effects of injury on athlete psychology and to establish basic data to achieve early recovery

Why Are Outcomes Different for Registry Patients Enrolled Prospectively and Retrospectively? Insights from the Global Anticoagulant Registry in the FIELD-Atrial Fibrillation (GARFIELD-AF).

Background: Retrospective and prospective observational studies are designed to reflect real-world evidence on clinical practice, but can yield conflicting results. The GARFIELD-AF Registry includes both methods of enrolment and allows analysis of differences in patient characteristics and outcomes that may result. Methods and Results: Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and ≥1 risk factor for stroke at diagnosis of AF were recruited either retrospectively (n = 5069) or prospectively (n = 5501) from 19 countries and then followed prospectively. The retrospectively enrolled cohort comprised patients with established AF (for a least 6, and up to 24 months before enrolment), who were identified retrospectively (and baseline and partial follow-up data were collected from the emedical records) and then followed prospectively between 0-18 months (such that the total time of follow-up was 24 months; data collection Dec-2009 and Oct-2010). In the prospectively enrolled cohort, patients with newly diagnosed AF (≤6 weeks after diagnosis) were recruited between Mar-2010 and Oct-2011 and were followed for 24 months after enrolment. Differences between the cohorts were observed in clinical characteristics, including type of AF, stroke prevention strategies, and event rates. More patients in the retrospectively identified cohort received vitamin K antagonists (62.1% vs. 53.2%) and fewer received non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (1.8% vs . 4.2%). All-cause mortality rates per 100 person-years during the prospective follow-up (starting the first study visit up to 1 year) were significantly lower in the retrospective than prospectively identified cohort (3.04 [95% CI 2.51 to 3.67] vs . 4.05 [95% CI 3.53 to 4.63]; p = 0.016). Conclusions: Interpretations of data from registries that aim to evaluate the characteristics and outcomes of patients with AF must take account of differences in registry design and the impact of recall bias and survivorship bias that is incurred with retrospective enrolment.

Risk profiles and one-year outcomes of patients with newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation in India: Insights from the GARFIELD-AF Registry.

BACKGROUND: The Global Anticoagulant Registry in the FIELD-Atrial Fibrillation (GARFIELD-AF) is an ongoing prospective noninterventional registry, which is providing important information on the baseline characteristics, treatment patterns, and 1-year outcomes in patients with newly diagnosed non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). This report describes data from Indian patients recruited in this registry. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 52,014 patients with newly diagnosed AF were enrolled globally; of these, 1388 patients were recruited from 26 sites within India (2012-2016). In India, the mean age was 65.8 years at diagnosis of NVAF. Hypertension was the most prevalent risk factor for AF, present in 68.5% of patients from India and in 76.3% of patients globally (P < 0.001). Diabetes and coronary artery disease (CAD) were prevalent in 36.2% and 28.1% of patients as compared with global prevalence of 22.2% and 21.6%, respectively (P < 0.001 for both). Antiplatelet therapy was the most common antithrombotic treatment in India. With increasing stroke risk, however, patients were more likely to receive oral anticoagulant therapy [mainly vitamin K antagonist (VKA)], but average international normalized ratio (INR) was lower among Indian patients [median INR value 1.6 (interquartile range {IQR}: 1.3-2.3) versus 2.3 (IQR 1.8-2.8) (P < 0.001)]. Compared with other countries, patients from India had markedly higher rates of all-cause mortality [7.68 per 100 person-years (95% confidence interval 6.32-9.35) vs 4.34 (4.16-4.53), P < 0.0001], while rates of stroke/systemic embolism and major bleeding were lower after 1 year of follow-up. CONCLUSION: Compared to previously published registries from India, the GARFIELD-AF registry describes clinical profiles and outcomes in Indian patients with AF of a different etiology. The registry data show that compared to the rest of the world, Indian AF patients are younger in age and have more diabetes and CAD. Patients with a higher stroke risk are more likely to receive anticoagulation therapy with VKA but are underdosed compared with the global average in the GARFIELD-AF.
