Investigating the Relationship between Postural Abnormalities and Adolescent Musculoskeletal Pain Through Biostatistical and Orthopedic Approaches: A Cross-Sectional Biostatistical and Orthopedic Investigation
The development of postural abnormalities is now identified as a contributor to adolescents' musculoskeletal pain experience, although strong biostatistical evidence to support the association is sparse. This cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between postural abnormalities and musculoskeletal pain among 341 school-going adolescents (180 males, 52.8%; 161 females, 47.2%; mean age 14.25 ± 1.32 years) using a structured 20-item self-administered questionnaire combined with orthopedic assessment frameworks. Association of postural risk indicators with pain outcomes was analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, chi-square tests of independence and binary logistic regression analyses. Forward head posture was the most common postural abnormality (81.5%) and the overall prevalence of musculoskeletal pain was 78.9%, with a mean composite musculoskeletal pain score of 4.27/5. There was a moderate to strong correlation between the composite postural and pain scores (r = 0.646, p < 0.001), and the postural abnormality accounted for 41.7% of the variance in the pain scores (R² = 0.417). Taking the other extreme, high postural abnormality was significantly correlated with high pain classification as detected by Chi-square analysis (χ² = 47.79, p < 0.001). Logistic regression identified forward head posture (OR = 3.84), prolonged static neck posture (OR = 3.12), backpack overload (OR = 2.74), prolonged sitting (OR = 2.41), and hard pillow use/sleep posture (OR = 1.96) as independent predictors of high pain risk, while gender was not significant. These results suggest that postural deformities are modifiable and clinically relevant risk factors for adolescent musculoskeletal pain and justify incorporating early postural assessment, ergonomic education and physical activity programs that focus on postural improvements into school health promotion initiatives.

The Symbiotic Integration of Industry and Culture in Rural Development: A Case Study of Watermelon Industry and Cultural Practice in Jiadou Town, Guangling County, China
The in-depth implementation of the rural revitalization strategy has promoted rural development to enter a new stage of industrial and cultural synergy. Industrial revitalization provides material foundation for rural development, and cultural revitalization injects spiritual core into rural development. The symbiotic integration of the two is the key path to realize the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas. Taking Jiadou Town, Guangling County, Shanxi Province as the research object, this paper focuses on the development of its watermelon and melon characteristic industry and the cultural practice of the situational opera Doushan’s children’s skillful hands and spirits, and systematically analyzes the generation logic, practice path and internal mechanism of the integration of industry and culture symbiosis. The study found that Jiadou Town has laid the material foundation and cultural material through industrial development, and cultural innovation has fed back the promotion of industrial value and spiritual cohesion. It has constructed the integration mode of industrial foundation-cultural soul-symbiotic efficiency, and realized the multiple effects of industrial value-added, cultural prosperity and rural vitality improvement. The research provides practical samples and theoretical enlightenment for the coordinated development of industry and culture in rural revitalization.

Caregivers’ Care Needs for Advanced Cancer Pain Patients with Intrathecal Morphine Pump: A Mixed Methods Journey Mapping Study
Aim: This study aimed to explore the dynamic care needs and emotional experiences of caregivers during the perioperative and early post-discharge periods using a mixed-methods approach and patient journey mapping. Design: A mixed-methods design, qualitative in-depth individual interviews and integrating quantitative data analysis. Methods: A total of 17 caregivers of patients undergoing intrathecal morphine pump implantation participated in semi-structured interviews. Interviews were conducted across five key care phases: Pain Clinic (Decision-making Stage); Admission Day (Preoperative Preparation); Surgery Day/Pain Relief Treatment Implementation; One Day Before Discharge (Home Care Preparation); 1-2 Weeks After Discharge. Quantitative data were collected using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) and the Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale. We combined qualitative themes with quantitative data to build a full journey map. This map shows how the care needs, emotional ups and downs, and key contact points change over time for caregivers of advanced cancer pain patients. We also tracked caregivers' anxiety and burden levels across the five phases. Result: Caregivers' needs shift across the treatment trajectory. Anxiety and burden peak during the home care period after intrathecal morphine pump implantation. The main pain points are: fear of handling complications alone at home, and insufficient discharge instructions. On the flip side, caregivers feel relief and safety during hospital stays, largely because they trust the professional care. The journey map also reveals that limited home support and poor follow‑up services keep caregivers struggling. Conclusion: Caregivers of these patients have different needs at different stages. Nurses should focus on periods with high burden and high anxiety, offering tailored assessments and interventions. That would ease caregiver stress and improve end‑of‑life care quality. Patient or Public Contribution: No patients or public members were involved in designing, conducting, or reporting this study.
