Objective To understand the current the status of sexual knowledge, attitude and behavior in university students from three non-medical colleges and universities in Yunnan Province. Methods From September, 2022 to June, 2023, 1 170 college students from three non-medical universities in Yunnan Province were selected by multistage stratified cluster random sampling methods to conduct a questionnaire survey on their sexual knowledge, attitudes and behaviors, and descriptive methods were used to analyze their sexual knowledge, attitudes and behaviors. Results The awareness rate of emergency contraception within 72 hours was 22.2%, and the awareness rate of condoms for disease prevention and contraception was 65.6%. The awareness rates of PrEP and PEP were 49.2% and 39.3%, and the overall awareness rate of AIDS prevention knowledge was less than 90.0%. The overall awareness rate of sexual health and AIDS prevention knowledge among girls was higher than boys (P < 0.05) . 72.8% of the sampled population did not oppose premarital sex, and boys have a more open attitude towards sex than girls ( P < 0.05) . 18.9% of respondents have had sexual activity. Among those with a history of sexual behavior, 60.5% can correctly use condoms consistently, and 35.1% have more than two sexual partners. The sexual behavior of boys is higher than that of girls ( P < 0.05) . Among college students, 42.6% received sex education in junior high school, and 41.4% obtained sexual knowledge through the Internet. Conclusion College students lack sexual health knowledge, and their sexual attitudes and behaviors are relatively open. It is imperative for non-medical colleges in Yunnan Province to carry out comprehensive sex education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective To investigate the mental health status and its influencing factors among elderly hypertensive patients from Rural Areas of Chuxiong and Honghe Prefecture in Yunnan. Methods Multi-stage random sampling method was adopted to select elderly hypertensive patients from rural Yi ethnic areas in Yunnan. Questionnaires were used to collect their basic information and mental health status. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to explore the influencing factors of mental health among the elderly hypertensives. Results 21.82% (209/958) of elderly people with hypertension have poor mental health status in Chuxiong and Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan. Age of 80-89 years (OR = 2.395, P<0.05) and over 90 years (OR = 3.293, P<0.05), as well as physical disability (OR = 2.037, P<0.05), were risk factors for poor mental health. Compared with those who rated their economic situation as very difficult, rating as somewhat difficult (OR = 0.490, P<0.05), moderate (OR = 0.632, P<0.05) and relatively affluent (OR = 0.344, P<0.05), having a spouse (OR =0.655, P<0.05), received full concern from the offspring (OR = 0.411, P<0.05) and maintain good relationships with offspring (OR = 0.339, P<0.05) were protective factors. Conclusions The mental health status of elderly people with hypertension is relatively poor in rural areas of Chuxiong and Honghe Prefecture in Yunnan Province. Special attention should be paid to the mental health of older and physically disabled elderly hypertensives. Economic and mental support from children was crucially important in improving the mental health of elderly hypertensive patients in rural areas of Chuxiong and Honghe Prefecture in Yunnan Province.
