Introduction: Education and vocation are crucial to one’s identity. The current study aimed to see the association between educational identity and career identity development among Chinese PE students. The mediating effect of self-efficacy on educational identity and career identity was explored. Further, the study intended to see the moderating role of gender for the mediating effect of self-efficacy between educational identity and career identity development. Methods: A total of 369 (age range= 16– 22) Chinese PE students were recruited as participants in the study. There were 180 (48.8%) males and 189 (51.2%) females in the sample. Hayes process model 58 was applied to develop a moderated mediation model. Results: The results reported that there was a significant positive association between educational identity with self-efficacy and career identity. However, self-efficacy was not related to career identity. Further, self-efficacy did not play a mediating role between educational identity and career identity development. On the other hand, gender significantly moderated the mediating effect of self-efficacy between educational identity and career identity development. Discussion: The study suggests that individuals who have a strong sense of educational identity are more likely to possess higher levels of self-efficacy and a clearer understanding of their career goals. However, it is notable that self-efficacy did not directly impact career identity, suggesting the presence of other factors influencing this aspect of identity formation. Interestingly, moderating role of gender suggests that the influence of self-efficacy on career identity development may vary depending on one’s gender, highlighting the importance of considering gender-specific factors in career-related interventions and counseling programs. The practical and theoretical implications of the study are discussed. Implications: The practical implications of this study suggest the importance of educational identity, the need for comprehensive career counseling interventions, and the consideration of gender-specific factors. The theoretical implications contribute to identity development theory, mediation and moderation frameworks, and cross-cultural research on career identity.

Objective: In the context of rising concerns about the psychological well-being of college students in China, this study explores the predictive effects of mindfulness, core socialist values, and self-enhancement on their psychological health. These factors are of particular interest due to their relevance to emotional regulation, social support, and self-perception, which are critical in a rapidly changing social environment. Methods: The study involved 487 college students from colleges in Yunnan Province. Participants completed the Core Socialist Values Scale, Mindfulness Scale, Comprehensive Psychological Health Assessment Questionnaire (including Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, Depression Anxiety Stress Scales, and Satisfaction with Life Scale), and Self-enhancement Strategy Questionnaire. Data were collected through online questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS 27. Results: Correlation analysis showed significant positive correlations between mindfulness and psychological health (r = 0.50, p < 0.01), and between core socialist values and psychological health (r = 0.29, p < 0.01). No significant correlation was found between self-enhancement and psychological health (r = -0.03, p > 0.05). Regression analysis indicated that mindfulness significantly predicted psychological health (adjusted R² = 0.24), and core socialist values also significantly predicted psychological health (adjusted R² = 0.08). The regression model combining mindfulness and core socialist values predicted psychological health more significantly (adjusted R² = 0.26). Conclusion: The results indicate that both mindfulness and core socialist values significantly predict the psychological health of college students, while self-enhancement does not. Mindfulness promotes psychological health by enhancing self-awareness and emotional regulation, while core socialist values enhance it by strengthening social support and value identification. These findings provide a theoretical basis for psychological health interventions for college students, suggesting the combined use of mindfulness practices and values education to promote psychological health.

Introduction: This study aims to investigate the effects of different lifestyles, health conditions, and environmental factors on insomnia through a multifactor comprehensive analysis based on data from patients in China. Methods: The study consists of two parts: Study 1 used interviews to collect information on living habits, health conditions, and sleep environments from 97 individuals with poor sleep. Study 2 employed a questionnaire survey method to analyze insomnia-related data from 300 patients. Results: Using Spearman correlation analysis and binary logistic regression analysis, the study identifies significant correlations between insomnia and factors such as age, sleep environment, sleep habits, tea drinking, coffee drinking, night snacking, and watching videos before bed. An increase in age significantly correlates with a decrease in insomnia incidence (B = -0.34, p<0.01); A good sleep environment (B = 1.23, p<0.01) and regular sleep habits (B = 1.03, p<0.01) can significantly reduce the risk of insomnia; Conversely, drinking tea (B = -0.68, p<0.05), drinking coffee (B = -0.94, p<0.05), night snacking (B = -1.15, p<0.01), and watching videos before bed (B = 1.46, p<0.01) significantly heighten the risk of insomnia. Discussion: This study mainly investigates the impact of various factors like lifestyle habits, health conditions, and sleep environment on insomnia. Study 1, through interviews and subsequent analysis, identified 24 factors that might relate to sleep; Study 2, through surveys and analysis, found that age, sleep environment, sleep habits, tea drinking, coffee drinking, late-night snacking, and watching videos before bed formed a valid logistic regression prediction model for insomnia. Implications: This study supports the comprehensive effects of multiple factors on insomnia and underscores the importance of optimizing living habits and environment to enhance sleep quality. Future research may consider further investigating the effects of different factors on insomnia and exploring interventions and treatments for insomnia.

Objective: This study addresses a critical challenge in healthcare: the proven clinical efficacy of integrated exercise therapy and Tui Na contrasts sharply with its limited accessibility for the general population. To address this critical gap in healthcare accessibility, this study aims to theoretically construct and assess the feasibility of a novel “community-based boutique studio” operational framework. Methods: We constructed the operational model using the Business Model Canvas framework, integrating theories from sports-medicine integration and community economics. We then conducted a multi-dimensional feasibility assessment using PEST analysis to evaluate the macro-environment and SWOT analysis to assess the model's internal and external factors. This evaluation covered market, operational, financial, and policy dimensions. Results: The proposed “community-based boutique studio” model establishes a small-scale, community-embedded, and high-quality service system within a “15-minute living circle.” Its distinctive feature is dual-mode service provision system, combining standard in-clinic sessions with flexible home visits. The feasibility analysis confirms the model's strong potential, demonstrating advantages in: precise market positioning, clinical synergy from the integrated protocol, financial sustainability through a light-asset structure, and strong alignment with national policies like “Healthy China”. Key implementation strategies include: designing modular service packages, systematically training dual-competency professionals, and establishing comprehensive risk management protocols. Conclusion: The community-based boutique studio model is a viable and innovative solution that enhances the accessibility and long-term commercial sustainability of integrated exercise therapy and Tui Na services. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers and entrepreneurs implementing the "Healthy China" strategy and provide a replicable framework for community-based health service innovation.

Amid growing concerns about mental health issues in higher education, understanding determinants of college students' subjective well-being has become crucial. While existing research establishes connections between psychological factors and well-being, the specific mechanisms linking physical fitness perceptions with mental health outcomes remain underexplored. This study explores the influence of physical fitness self-efficacy on college students' subjective well-being, highlighting the mediating role of physical activity and the moderating effect of gender. Using the "Physical Fitness Self-Efficacy Scale," "Physical Activity Level Scale" (PARS-3), and "Subjective Well-Being Questionnaire," data were collected from 455 students (Age 19.13±1.32) in Yunnan Province, China, and analyzed using SPSS 27.0 and Process 4.2. Results showed significant gender differences in physical fitness self-efficacy, physical activity, and subjective well-being, with physical activity mediating 20.86% of the effect (The results support that physical activity plays a partial mediating role between physical fitness self-efficacy and subjective well-being). Notably, gender moderated this relationship, as the study found that physical fitness self-efficacy and physical activity predict subjective well-being in both male (ΔR² = 11.40%, mediating effect 11.93%) and female university students (ΔR2 = 14.40%, mediating effect 23.66%), with exercise behavior showing a stronger mediating role in females. These findings extend social cognitive theory by demonstrating gender-specific pathways through which physical self-perceptions translate into well-being outcomes. And the study suggests the importance of promoting physical fitness self-efficacy and physical activity to enhance college students' subjective well-being, with gender-specific intervention strategies recommended.
