الوصف: Abstract Background Co-infection with HIV is a strong risk factor for cervical cancer development. It is unknown whether women with HIV in Guangxi, China are utilizing currently available cervical cancer screening services, what barriers they face, and if they are aware of their increased risk of developing cervical cancer. Methods Using a cross-sectional design, we administered a survey to women with HIV aged 21–65 years from August to October 2019 in Guangxi, China. A 100-item survey was designed in English and translated into Chinese. We assessed knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about cervical cancer and cervical cancer screening, identified potential barriers and facilitators of cervical cancer screening programs for women with HIV, and assessed potential risk factors for cervical cancer. Results A total of 101 participants completed the survey. The median age of participants was 38 years (IQR 34.5–44 years). Forty-seven percent of the women had been screened for cervical cancer at least once. The mean score was 5.6 out of 9 (95% CI 5.3–6.0) on the knowledge about cervical cancer and screening and 6.3 out of 10 (95% CI 5.9–6.6) for cervical cancer risk factors, respectively. Facilitators of participating in cervical cancer screening included trust and openness to healthcare workers having conversations about female health concerns. Barriers identified in our study included knowledge gaps in cervical cancer risk awareness and cervical cancer screening awareness, including the lack of knowledge of available cervical cancer screening services. Women with HIV in Guangxi are under-screened for cervical cancer. Conclusion When designing tailored cervical cancer screening programs for women with HIV in Guangxi, educational programs to address existing knowledge gaps will be needed to increase screening uptake in this high-risk population.

الوصف: Factors affecting independence in basic and instrumental activities of daily living have been established in older adults, but not centenarians. The purpose of this study was to examine the state and factors affecting activities of daily living independence in centenarians who resided in Guangxi Province, China. A cross-sectional design was used. Activities of daily living, physical activity, mobility, and physical performance were measured by the Population Study of ChINese Elderly study instruments, and demographics and cognition were assessed. Of the 228 participants, 57% were independent in basic activities of daily living and 5.7% in instrumental activities of daily living. Stepwise regression showed physical activity, cognition, calf circumference, and self-reported health were associated with basic activities of daily living. Physical activity, mobility, cognition, and physical performance were correlated with instrumental activities of daily living. In conclusion, the Chinese centenarians showed impaired instrumental activities of daily living but mostly maintained basic functioning. Physical activity and cognition were associated with activities of daily living independence.

الوصف: Purpose: To assess perceived barriers to and facilitators of cervical cancer screening in women with HIV in Guangxi, China. Methods: Using a cross-sectional design, we administered a survey among women with HIV aged 21-65 years from August to October 2019 in Guangxi, China. A 100-item survey was developed in English and translated into Chinese. Age criterion was concordant with the cervical cancer screening recommendations. We assessed knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about cervical cancer and cervical cancer screening, identified potential barriers to and facilitators of cervical cancer screening programs for women with HIV, and assessed potential risk factors for cervical cancer. We conducted descriptive data analyses with the collected responses. Results: A total of 101 participants, on average 39.5 years old (IQR: 34.5-44 years old), completed the survey. The mean CD4 cell count was 705 cell/µl (IQR: 493-854 cell/µl). 47% of the women had been screened for cervical cancer at least once. The mean score was 5.6 out of 9 (95% CI 5.3-6.0) on the knowledge about cervical cancer and its screening and 6.3 out of 10 (95% CI 5.9-6.6) on cervical cancer risk factors, respectively. 84% of women agreed that cervical cancer is a life-threatening disease, but only 49% agreed that they were at risk for cervical cancer. Facilitators of participating in future cervical cancer screening among women with HIV in Guangxi included family support for related healthcare, trust and openness to conversations with health workers on female health concerns, and convenient transportation. The barriers included knowledge gaps in health awareness, cervical-cancer-related information, and available cervical cancer screening services. Conclusion: Women with HIV in Guangxi are potentially under-screened for cervical cancer. Designing future cervical cancer screening programs targeting women with HIV in Guangxi should address the knowledge gaps to increase screening uptake and improve outcomes in this high-risk population.
