Evaluating the Effectiveness of Community-Delivered Hearing Rehabilitation and Health Education Intervention on Social Isolation and Functioning Among Chinese Adults With Hearing Impairment: Protocol for Randomized Controlled Trial

Unaddressed HI often leads to significant withdrawal from the social domain of life and poor performance of functioning in society.

Psychometric Properties of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale in Individuals With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Protocol for a Systematic Review

Anxiety is also reported to cause dyspnea at earlier stages of COPD [12,13], and both disorders are associated with decreased physical functioning and deteriorated health-related quality of life [14,15]. The assessment and timely interventions for these symptoms is essential, as anxiety and depression are associated with increased mortality, COPD exacerbations, hospitalizations [16,17], and medical costs [18].

Information Extraction Framework for Disability Determination Using a Mental Functioning Use-Case

In this paper, we propose a framework for the advanced application of NLP methods to identify, extract, and organize functioning information to inform the decision-making process applied to assessing functioning and disability. While the framework is applicable to mental and physical functioning use cases alike, this paper focuses on mental functioning.

New Path to Recovery and Well-Being: Cross-Sectional Study on WeChat Use and Endorsement of WeChat-Based mHealth Among People Living With Schizophrenia in China

Participant functioning was assessed using the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scale to measure a person’s psychological, social, and occupational functioning on a hypothetical continuum of mental health illness ranging from 1 to 100 [32], with examples provided for each 10-level interval. This 1-item scale, with higher scores indicating better functioning, has been widely used in clinical assessments and has satisfactory psychometric properties [33,34].
