This chapter illuminates how the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou University Traditional Chinese Medicine used WeChat social media platform and mobile phone technologies as a mode health during initial COVID-19 period from January 2020 through 2021. The utilises interviews conducted with hospital's doctors, nurses, pharmacists who went to Hubei province work in temporary treatment centres; insights one authors, is member Hospital's publicity department; discourse analysis official microblog. phones were indispensable that both primary information delivery systems public communication at Hubei's centres. These contributed stronger ties between medical staff their colleagues patients chat video functions. microblog also provided for hospital inform local population about viral epidemic, government reacted situation, could protect themselves. account's Wisdom programme was computerise several services, contributing safer contactless experiences. counter-epidemic efforts labelled war on virus warrior heroes white. Mobile account positively impacted safety populations staff's response epidemic.

Background Diverse measures have been carried out worldwide to establish Alternative Care Facilities (ACFs) for different ends, such as receiving, curing or isolating patients, aiming cope with tremendous shock in the urban medical system during early passage of COVID-19 epidemic. Healthcare workers always felt anxious and stressed multiple major public health emergencies facilities. Some active improve healthcare workers' perceptions, temporary training, workflow improvement, supplementary facilities, were proved insufficient several past emergencies. Therefore, this study aims analyze contributing factors perceptions ACFs pandemic, which can help find an innovative path ensure their health, well-being work efficiency. Method This paper conducted semi-structured in-depth interviews world's first batch who worked through a qualitative based on Grounded Theory. The interviewed from Heilongjiang, Shandong, Fujian, Hubei provinces, one four built Wuhan. results are obtained three-level codes analyses interview recordings. Results affecting perception epidemic situation be summarized into five categories: individual characteristics, organization management, facilities equipment, space design, internal environment. categories composition further divided endogenous exogenous factors, jointly affect ACFs. Among them, characteristics belong primary conditions, while other decisive conditions. Conclusion clarifies analyzes mechanism each factor. It is posited that passive strategies promising solution protect efficiency, reduce operation stress We should train multidisciplinary professionals future enhance collaborations between engineers. To sum up, broadens new horizons research optimization finds paths alleviating adverse

The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has had a significant impact on human life. Hybrid ventilated hospitals have emerged as multi-zone sites, necessitating ventilation strategies to mitigate viral concentration. This paper integrates infiltration and exfiltration (MIX) model natural ventilation, spatial flow factor (SFIF) pollutant concentration analyze the inter-zonal impact. Results indicate that elevated outdoor temperature corresponds an increased influence rooms corridors. Adopting mechanical in diminishes room pollutants corridors but exerts minimal other rooms. Mechanical air supply reduces interaction between corridors, reduction is most when wind direction same stairwell orientation. do not affect upstream source corridor. When speed below threshold, recommended; for reaching this exhaust volumes should be adjusted regarding speed. study reveals corridor window openings exert disparate effects under conditions. All findings offer valuable insights selecting hybrid hospitals, with aim mitigating COVID-19 transmission.

Backgrounds: Existing studies on the treatment of emergency infectious diseases have primarily focused pathogen and human immune system. However, health is intricately connected to environmental factors, this interaction becomes particularly during large-scale public emergencies. Few examined impact spatial differences in microenvironment rehabilitation rate patients with Omicron variant infection. Objective: This study employs causal inference statistical methods analysis investigate how hospital affects COVID-19 a mobile cabin hospital, so as provide scientific basis for arrangement hospitals. Design: Observational study. Methods: used clinical information 6291 admitted Shanghai, from April 9 May 9, 2022, pandemic. Exploratory data fixed-effects regression were conducted understand whether around patients’ beds impacted their rehabilitation. Results: The results indicate that condition affected by microenvironment. Both mean minimum CT values surrounding show significant positive correlation patients. further distance vent is, more speed Conclusion: These findings offer valuable insights bed allocation, stratification management, ventilation management hospitals
