| Abstract |
An earthquake struck Ludian in Yunnan province of China on August 3, 2014, resulting in 3143 injuries, 617 deaths, and 112 missing persons. Our study aimed at estimating the quality of life and associated determinants among medical rescuers after Ludian earthquake. A cross-sectional survey was performed among personnel from three hospitals that assumed rescue tasks in Ludian earthquake. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA and stepwise linear regression analysis were used for data analysis. The mean scores on the physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) were 49.86 (SD = 6.01) and 35.85(SD = 6.90), respectively. Lower PCS in the aftermath of an earthquake was associated with non-military medical rescuers, elderly age, and being trapped/in danger while lower MSC in the aftermath of an earthquake was associated with non-military medical rescuers, young age, being female, being trapped/in danger and low education degree. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that medical rescuers are at risk for a lower HRQoL after exposure to Ludian earthquake. The results of this study help expand our knowledge of health-related quality of life among medical rescuers after the Ludian earthquake. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 June 2015.
All research outputs
#14,230,708
of 22,815,414 outputs
Outputs from Health and Quality of Life Outcomes
#1,130
of 2,159 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#135,698
of 263,904 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Health and Quality of Life Outcomes
#21
of 62 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,815,414 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,159 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.4. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 263,904 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 62 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% of its contemporaries.
