The Influence of Age, Regional Context, and Measurement Tools on Children’s Creativity
This meta-analysis investigated creativity differences between urban and rural children, examining the moderating effects of age, regional context, and measurement tools. Studies were systematically selected based on explicit inclusion criteria, which required peer-reviewed publication between 2003 and 2023, clear operational definitions of urban and rural populations, and the use of standardized or validated measures of creativity. Analysis of 2…
Enhancing local identity learning and affective effectiveness through augmented reality
This study pioneers the integration of augmented reality (AR) with reality puzzle games to enrich local cultural understanding and enhance the sense of place. By merging AR’s interactive capabilities with the narrative depth of geography, we offer an innovative approach to experiential learning. Our research demonstrates how AR can transform the learning experience, making local history and culture more engaging and memorable for learners. Throug…
Calf circumference has a positive correlation with physical performance among community-dwelling middle-aged, older women
Introduction Sarcopenia and frailty are well-known public health problems in middle-aged and older people. Calf circumference (CC) is a representative anthropometric index that may be useful for screening sarcopenia. Physical performance, assessed by hand grip strength and gait speed, measures sarcopenia and frailty. This community-based, cross-sectional study was conducted in Guishan District, Taoyuan City, between April and October 2017 to inve…
The Relationship between Atherogenic Index of Plasma and Obesity among Adults in Taiwan
Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), a novel biomarker, is associated with cardiovascular diseases and obesity. The main aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between AIP and obesity among Taiwanese hospital employees. A total of 1312 subjects with an average age of 42.39 years were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. AIP was calculated as log10 (TG/HDL-C). All subjects were divided into three groups according to AIP tertiles. C…
Children's exposure to secondhand smoke at home before and after smoke-free legislation in Taiwan
The proportion of children exposed to SHS at home in Taiwan declined substantially from 2005 to 2009 after smoke-free legislation, and fell further by 2013, irrespective of SES and household compositions. Still, inequality in SHS exposure at home by SES and household composition warrants future research
Explaining selected health behaviors in a national sample of Taiwanese adults
Extant research provides little evidence about how health literacy, self-efficacy and health locus of control are related to each other in affecting health behaviors. The purposes of this study were to examine the associations among health literacy, self-efficacy and health locus of control and how the three factors are related to health behaviors using data from a national survey of Taiwanese adults. The analysis showed moderate correlations amo…
The impact of smoke-free legislation on reducing exposure to secondhand smoke
The 2009 smoke-free policy reduced the SHS exposure for non-smokers. However, this impact on home SHS did not persist after 2009, and the effect of protection was unequal across gender and SES groups. Thus, further enforcement of smoking restrictions would be needed to reduce the risk of SHS exposure and improve protection against SHS risk among parts of the population with lower socioeconomic status
Health literacy, health status, and healthcare utilization of Taiwanese adults
Low (inadequate and marginal) health literacy is prevalent in Taiwan. High prevalence of low health literacy is not necessarily indicative of the need for interventions. Systematic efforts to evaluate the impact of low health literacy on health outcomes in other countries would help to illuminate features of health care delivery and financing systems that may mitigate the adverse health effects of low health literacy
Changes of the prescription of hormone therapy in menopausal women
The WHI report caused a substantial decline in the use of MHT to treat menopause-related symptoms in Taiwan. It was found to exert most of its influence in patients with higher educations, physicians with specialties other than gynecologists and obstetricians, and academic medical centers
Public opinion regarding earmarked cigarette tax in Taiwan
Smoking status and economic factors determine the attitude and potential responses of people toward the cigarette tax. Taiwan's five NT-dollar earmarked tax for cigarettes may have only a limited effect upon the reduction in cigarette use
National Health Insurance, Physician Financial Incentives, and Primary Cesarean Deliveries in Taiwan
Objectives. Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Program (NHI) was implemented on March 1, 1995. This study analyzed the influences of the Case Payment method of reimbursement for inpatient care and of physician financial incentives on a woman’s choice for primary cesarean delivery. Methods. Logistic regressions were used to analyze 11 788 first-time deliveries in a nonprofit hospital system between March 1, 1994, and February 29, 1996. Results. Af…
