Abstract:

Purpose: This study was conducted on nurses from The Sheba Medical Center. The purpose of the study was to investigate nurses’ evaluation of the importance of a nutrition assessment, (b) nurses’ knowledge of nutrition care and (c) nurses’ evaluation of the quality of nutrition care in their department. Design: The study was a quantitative correlational study performed in a university-affiliated, teaching hospital. Methods: Data were collected via a digital questionnaire through head nurses, from 203 nurses and analyzed by frequencies, means and Pearson correlations, independent t-tests, oneway ANOVA and stepwise such as the ability of patients to feed themselves, chew and swallow, multiple linear regression were performed to determine predictors observing whether a patient finishes a meal and offering assistance of nurses’ responses where needed. Findings: Importance of nutritional assessment is positively and significantly correlated to knowledge of nutritional care and quality of nutritional treatment. Female nurses’ knowledge is significantly higher than male. Senior nurses’ knowledge is higher than less senior nurses. Nurses who participated in emergency care training have a significantly higher level of knowledge than nurses who did not participate in this course. Knowledge of nutritional care is not significantly correlated to quality of nutritional treatment. It is important to introduce the role of nurses regarding nutritional care within their departments to doctors and dietitians, as well as involving them in building the intervention course. Conclusions: These findings highlight the importance of checking the quality of nurses’ educational knowledge and improving it through an intervention with specified training surrounding knowledge regarding nutrition, including learning and training.

Abstract:

Purpose – This paper aims to examine the effects of professional job experience on the lifestyle and dietary habits of participants who have studied food science and nutrition and acquired a dietitian license. The dietary habits of students of departments of food science and nutrition have been reported. However, no study has compared the dietary habits of graduates with and without actual clinical experience. Design/methodology/approach – In total, 206 participants who graduated from the department of food science and nutrition of a university located in Tokyo between 1975 and 1984 completed a questionnaire on food and nutrient intake and lifestyle habits in 2011. Findings – Total fat and SFA intake adjusted for energy intake or frequency of snack and fast food intake differed among participants with and without experience as dietitians, indicating that dietitian experience influenced the dietary habits of participants for approximately 30 years after graduation. Nutritional knowledge and skills acquired during attendance at a dietitian school are effective in maintaining favorable behavior for a long time. However, nutritional knowledge and skills were enhanced by later professional experience. Originality/value – The refining effect of clinical experience appears to contribute to the maintenance of daily dietary habits and health. Professional experience can contribute to the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases not only personally but also for other people in terms of public health nutrition or nutritional education.

Abstract:

Tuberculosis remains a widespread social disease, both in Russia and in the Republic of Buryatia. According to the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Buryatia, the region ranked 8th according to tuberculosis morbidity in 2017 in the Siberian Federal district. It was preceded by the Republic of Tuva, Irkutsk, Novosibirsk, Kemerovo regions, Altai territory, Omsk region, and Krasnoyarsk region. The Republic ranked 18th among all the federal entities of the Russian Federation. Tuberculosis remains one of the top 10 mortality factors in the world. The disease affects various organs, a fairly easy mode of infection, and a long treatment period. Therefore, it requires an intensive medical treatment and a high-calorie diet provided by nutrition departments of medical institutions. The present paper features the experience of nutrition departments of the Republican Clinical Tuberculosis Dispensary, i.e. the aspect of food production for a certain population group. The research defines the critical control points of the technological stage of production, taking into account the existing risks and maximum permissible values. The authors developed some elements of the HACCP program in the form of maps and block diagrams of each stage of the technological process. The research results make it possible to create a quality management program based on the principles of HACCP fat nutrition department of the Republican Clinical Tuberculosis Dispensary.

Abstract:

Background: Highly plate waste in hospitalized patients has become a problem in Hospitals’ nutrition service department, this causes adding treatment time for patient’s recovery and making the hospital service inefficient.Objectives: This research strives to develop a set of recommendations to improve the nutrition department service quality by reducing plate wastes in hospitals. Methods: This research uses a cross-sectional approach. The constraint causing analysis is done by observing dominant waste in each menu’s component and conducting FGD with the management team, nutrition department, and other related departments. The research population is 3000 plates.Results: One of the success indicators in the hospital’s nutrition services is less than 20% of plate waste. It was found that 26,65% or 327 of 1230 observed plates have more than 20% plate waste. The constraint was set with low scale value, food’s aroma, with 2,7 which make food’s aroma as a first priority problem to solve.Conclusions: The solution recommendation about constraint causes was sent to the nutrition department and hospital directors to review the hospital’s policies and SOP. The improvement can be focused on the hospital’s internal policies, Standard Operating procedures, employee competencies, obedience to set procedures, and also chefs and cooks skill

Abstract:

Abstract Associations between different forms of malnutrition and environmental conditions, including water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), contribute to poor child health, nutritional status and physical growth. The primary responsibility for the provision of water and sanitation, as a basic service and human right, lies with the State, as such, a number of stakeholders are involved. Despite relatively high levels of WASH infrastructure coverage in South Africa, enteric infections and stunting remain high for a middle-income country. The aim of this study is to elucidate the landscape of WASH in South Africa in relation to nutritional status of children under the age of 5 years in the South African, Gauteng and City of Johannesburg contexts. The authors detailed the national and provincial public sector departments and through purposive sampling proceeded to map the various departments and associated policies that are responsible for the provision of WASH facilities, as well the nutritional status of children. Of the six policies identified for review, three mentioned WASH, nutrition and children; however, none explicitly linked WASH to nutritional status in children. An in-depth review and analysis of these three crucial policy documents was conducted. Finally, a set of expert interviews were conducted and a consensus development conference convened, with experts at the intersection between WASH and nutritional status. The authors found that the public sector would benefit from better integration of the concept of WASH into their policy, planning and implementation frameworks. The WASH sector should emphasize the role in which WASH plans consider the impact of WASH on the nutritional status of children. The various public sector departments involved in WASH service provision, and other WASH stakeholders, including community-based organizations, non-governmental organizations and intergovernmental organizations, should be involved in the decision-making of the nutrition sector.

Abstract:

The aim of the work. To analyze the prevalence of nosocomial pneumonias (NP) in surgical and therapeutic departments and determine the nurses’ knowledge on the problem of preventing hospital pneumonia. Materials and Methods. In order to determine the nurses’ level of knowledge on the problems of preventing nosocomial pneumonia, a questionnaire was developed and applied, which included 20 questions with answers. Results and Discussion. The prevalence of hospital pneumonia in the departments of the therapeutic and surgical profiles is high. The incidence of NP in the surgical department is predominant in males, among the risk factors in which tobacco smoking prevails. In females with NP, the main etiological factors include poor nutrition and obesity. Comparing the level of nurses’ knowledge in therapeutic and surgical departments it was found that nurses of surgical department have shown better knowledge of NP identifying and epidemiology. Nursing stuff of both profiles has poor knowledge about pathogens of NP. The most problematic for nurses of both departments is the issue of preventing NP in case of various surgical interventions during preoperative period. Conclusions. The results of the surveys with this questionnaire can be used to focus educational programs on NP prevention.

Abstract:

Background.This work was constructed in order to assess the nutritional and functional status in hospitalized elderly and to study the associations between them and sociodemographic variables.Methods.200 elderly patients (>65 years old) admitted to Internal Medicine and Neurology Departments in nonemergency conditions were included. Comprehensive geriatric assessments, including nutritional and functional assessments, were done according to nutritional checklist and Barthel index, respectively. Information was gathered from the patients, from the ward nurse responsible for the patient, and from family members who were reviewed.Results.According to the nutritional checklist, 56% of participants were at high risk, 18% were at moderate risk of malnutrition, and 26% had good nutrition. There was a high nutritional risk in patients with low income and good nutrition in patients with moderate income. Also, there was a high nutritional risk in rural residents (61.9%) in comparison with urban residents (25%). Barthel index score was significantly lower in those at high risk of malnutrition compared to those at moderate risk and those with good nutrition.Conclusions.Hospitalized elderly are exposed to malnutrition, and malnourished hospitalized patients are candidates for functional impairment. Significant associations are noticed between both nutritional and functional status and specific sociodemographic variables.

Abstract:

AbstractObjective:Adequate and appropriate nutrition education is expected to contribute towards preventing risk of child stunting and maternal overweight/obesity. Understanding women’s information-seeking behaviours is an important key step for health professionals and departments of health in order to improve the development of optimal and targeted nutrition education during pregnancy. This study investigated the experience of Indonesian women in seeking and receiving nutritional information during pregnancy and its relationship to women’s socio-demographic and pregnancy characteristics.Design:An online cross-sectional study.Setting:Malang City, Indonesia.Participants:Women who had given birth within the past 2 years (n 335).Results:All women in this study sought or received food and nutrition information from multiple sources, including social and health professional contacts and media sources. The women frequently discussed nutrition issues with their family, particularly their husband (98·2 %) and mother or mother-in-law (91·6 %). This study identified four groups of sources based on women’s search habits. Women from high socio-economic strata were more likely to discuss food and nutrition issues or received nutrition information from obstetricians, their family or online sources (adjusted R2 = 26·3 %). Women from low socio-economic strata were more likely to receive nutrition information from midwives, health volunteers or Maternal and Child Health books (adjusted R2 = 14·5 %).Conclusions:A variety of nutrition information sources needs to be provided for women from different socio-economic strata. Involvement of family members in antenatal nutrition education may improve the communication and effectiveness of young mothers’ dietary and nutrition education.

Abstract:

College students’ prosperity advancing and harming behaviors are vital and include numerous parameters as eating and healthy habits. The activities of 185 undergraduate Saudi female university students from departments of Home Science Education (n=82) and Kindergarten (n=103), faculty of Education, UMM AL-QURA University, Makkah, Saudi Arabia were reported. Data was collected using self-administered questionnaires. Students in departments exposed to information on proper nutrition and healthy behavior through their learning period at university. Researcher compared differences between students of both departments on eating of breakfast, junk foods, fruits, vegetables, sweets and soft drinks; and healthy habits as brushing teeth, sleeping hours, smoking, sports, engagement in physical activity, duration spent watching TV and interacting on social media. Data were collected from April to October 2019 and compared. Results showed that students in the Department of Home Science Education had significantly higher levels of body mass index (BMI) (P= 0.002), total body weight (P= 0.002) using unpaired student "t" test, significantly higher increase of body weight since beginning of university study (P =0.026), spent significantly more free time watching TV per week days (P =0.013), spent significant more free time on social media at days of week (P =0.002); significantly higher chances of eating supper with their parents (P =0.004) and significantly more sleeping hours (P =0.005) versus those in Kindergarten Department. Skipping breakfast and snack pattern were common among Saudi university students. This study showed insignificant difference in other health related behaviors between students of Home Science Education and Kindergarten departments as eating breakfast during the week (P =0.293), days of eating breakfast (P =0.547), eating fast food during week (P =0.195), days of eating fast food (P =0.666) and bowel problems (P =0.109) using Chi-Square test. There was insignificant difference in fast foods intake (P =0.195), engagement in physical activities (P =0.163), intake of vegetables (P =0.370) and fruits (P =0.876) between students in both departments using Chi-Square test. Results indicated that behaviors to health-related habits are bad among female students of both Home Science Education and Kindergarten departments and this may be due to the fact that students living alone had more difficulties in adapting to healthy diets. These habits require more than having only knowledge about nutrition. A health program is required to elevate awareness and increase good behavior habits among students of Faculty of Education at UMM AL-QURA University, Makkah, Saudi Arabia as they are the future teachers.

Abstract:

Athletic departments in colleges and universities are beginning to recognize the role a sports nutrition professional plays in providing both clinical nutrition services to athletes and nutrition education programs to teams, coaches, and trainers. Traditionally, sports nutritionists have been viewed as capable of counseling athletes toward improved nutrition behaviors for improved performance outcomes. More globally, a sports nutritionist at a major university can develop and implement nutrition education programs for athletes that can be implemented in alternative situations to effect the greater student body. Menu changes in dining facilities, expanded dining hours, and campus workshops on eating disorders, weight gain, or weight loss are examples of programs created by a university sports nutritionist.

Abstract:

To determine the prevalence of nutritional risk in surgical departments and to evaluate the impact of nutritional support on clinical outcomes. The nutritional risk in different surgical diseases and the different way of nutritional support on clinical outcomes in patients at nutritional risk remain unclear. Hospitalized patients from general surgical departments were screened using the Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS) 2002 questionnaire on admission. Data were collected on nutritional risk, complications, and length of stay (LOS). Overall, 5034 patients were recruited; the overall prevalence of nutritional risk on admission were 19.2%. The highest prevalence was found among patients with gastric cancer. At-risk patients had more complications and longer LOS than nonrisk patients. Of the at-risk patients, the complication rate was significantly lower and LOS was significantly shorter in the nutritional-support group than in the no-support group (20.9 versus 30.0%, P < 0.05). Subgroup analysis showed reduced complication rates and LOS only in patients with gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) cancer. Significantly lower complication rates relative to nonsupported patients were found among patients who received enteral nutrition or who received support for 5 to 7 days, or daily support entailing 16 to 25 kcal/kg of nonprotein energy. Different surgical diseases have different levels of nutritional risk. The provision of nutritional support was associated with a lower complication rate and a shorter LOS for gastric, colorectal, and HPB cancer patients at nutritional risk. The improper use of nutritional support may not improve outcomes for at-risk patients.

Abstract:

Purpose: Patient satisfaction with hospital food enhances consumption and adequate intake of nutrients required for recovery from illness/injury and maintenance of health; accordingly, the nutrient content of the menu must balance patient preferences. This study of Ontario hospital foodservice departments collected data on current practices of analyzing the nutritional adequacy and assessing patient satisfaction with menus, and it explored perceptions of priority issues. Methods: Foodservice managers/directors from 57 of 140 (41%) hospitals responded to cross-sectional in-depth telephone interviews. Deductive analysis of responses to open-ended questions supplemented quantitative data from closed-ended questions. Results: The hospitals without long-term care facilities (LTCFs) assessed regular (58%), therapeutic (53%), and texture-modified (47%) menus for nutritional adequacy. This differed from hospitals governing LTCFs where there was a higher frequency of assessment of regular (75%), therapeutic (75%), and textured-modified (66%) menus. Most departments (86%–94%) obtained patient satisfaction feedback at the departmental/corporate levels. Many identified budget and labour issues as priorities rather than assessing menus for nutritional adequacy and patient satisfaction. Conclusions: Hospital menus were not consistently assessed for nutritional adequacy and patient satisfaction; common assessment methodologies and standards were absent. Compliance standards seem to increase the frequency of menu assessment as demonstrated by hospitals governing LTCFs.

Abstract:

Abstract An epidemiological study was performed over a single day in France in 28 centers in 24 distinct cities, with, as a primary endpoint, an overview of the nutritional status and nutritional care of cancer patients over 18. This study involved 2068 patients (879 female, 1189 male), 100 investigators and 86 clinical departments, including hematology departments with 419 patients corresponding to 21% of the studied population either hospitalized or ambulatory. Among the total population for patients aged from 18 to 74 and patients over 75 years old, the body mass index (BMI) was 18.5 for 12.2% and 25.9% of cases, 18.5–25 for 50.7% and 36.4%, ≥25 for 37.2% and 37.7%. Weight loss since diagnosis of the malignant disease was between 0 and 5% for 33% of cases, 5 to 10% for 19%, 10 to 15% for 13%, 15 to 20% for 9%, > 20% for 10%. The nutrition risk index (NRI) was <83.5 for 22.5% of cases implying high risk of complications during hospitalization, between 83.5 and 97.5 for 37.3% with moderate complication risk and > 97.5 for 40.2% with no risk of complications. Among 1903 patients evaluated, 39% of patients presented severe malnutrition estimated by a BMI ≤18.5 (18–74 years) / BMI ≤21 (≥75 years) or a weight loss ≥10% of initial weight before hematological malignancy diagnosis. When we considered the performans status (PS), there was a correlation between PS and malnutrition with 14% of malnourished patients for PS 0 (n=388), 31.4% for PS 1 (n=560), 52.3% for PS 2 (n=451), 54.6% for PS 3 (n=249) and 65.3% for PS 4 (n=124). Among 377 patients who presented a hematological malignancy, 1/3 of them (34%) presented severe malnutrition (37% for females and 32% for males), as measured by BMI+weight loss. The prevalence of malnutrition was particularly high in patients harboring lymphoid malignancies: 48% of ALL patients (n=31), 39% of B- and T-NHLs (n=108), 36% of myeloma patients (n=69), 44% of CLL patients (n=16) and 13% of Hodgkin’s disease patients (n=15). This is probably related to the addition of steroids in most of the standard chemotherapy treatments used in these malignancies that worsen the malnutrition already induced by the tumor. However, in myeloid malignancies severe malnutrition was observed in a quite large proportion of patients as well: 25% severe malnutrition of AML patients (n=118), and 11% for CML patients (n=9), and 55% (other, n=11). Among all the severely malnourished patients, 35.3% of patients did not receive any nutritional support and 34.1% were re-nourished (30.5% unknown). In the cancer patients harboring hematological malignancies (n=143) who received nutritional support, 25.9% had enteral nutrition, 39.9% parenteral nutrition, and 53.8% oral supplements with 65.2% compliance. This one-day epidemiological study points out that one third of the cancer patients harboring hematological malignancies present severe malnutrition that may favor infectious complications, impair the dose-intensity of chemo-radiotherapy, prolong intervals between chemotherapy courses, and alter the quality of life of patients. It underlines the absolute requirement for optimal nutrition care in these patients.

Abstract:

We explored the association between maternal nutrition knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) values in children with rickets in Xinjiang, People’s Republic of China. We recruited 514 mothers with children (<2 years) from pediatric outpatient departments. We determined general status of families, maternal nutrition KAP, and 25(OH)D values in 212 children with rickets, with doctors using “Prevention and Treatment Program for Infant and Young Children Rickets” and “Application Guideline for Vitamin D and Bone Health in Adult Chinese (2014 Standard Edition)” to identify. We then assessed the associations between nutrition KAP and 25(OH)D values. The 25(OH)D values were positively correlated with maternal nutrition KAP scores. Factors influencing rickets included per-capita monthly dietary expenditure and spousal education level. Factors associated with nutrition practice included maternal education level, gestational vitamin D level, and nutrition knowledge. Augmented maternal nutrition KAP may improve 25(OH)D levels in children with rickets to a normal range.

Abstract:

The idea of physical anthropologists working in private industry may be new to many academicians who have either been trained or hold positions in traditional anthropology departments. Historically, new anthropology Ph.D.s have been encouraged by their mentors to compete for the few available teaching/research positions at colleges and universities. A job in the ivory tower is perceived by academicians to be the ideal or only desirable career path for anthropologists. However, according to the National Academy of Sciences, the percentage of Ph.D. behavioral scientists (including anthropologists) employed in private industry more than doubled from 1977 to 1991. Undoubtedly, this trend will continue. Based on the present status of academic employment, particularly for anthropologists, careers in private industry are becoming viable and rewarding alternatives.

Abstract:

Background: Hospital malnutrition, usually secondary to various diseases and their treatments, is an important problem in our clinical practice. For its proper assessment, it is crucial to use a nutritional alert system, such as the CONUT (COntrol NUTrition) program; this tool uses 3 analytical parameters: serum albumin, total cholesterol, and total lymphocyte count. Objective: The current study assessed the results of the implementation of this program in the University Hospital Ramón y Cajal. Methods: The CONUT program has been used in the University Hospital Ramón y Cajal since 2013. This retrospective study, throughout 2016, was conducted in the Central Laboratory of Chemical Biochemistry at the University Hospital Ramón y Cajal. All blood tests with serum albumin, total cholesterol, and total lymphocyte count were studied. The degree of malnutrition was assessed using the scale of normal (=0), mild (=4), moderate (=8), and severe (=12). Results: In 2016, there were 405406 analytics performed in the laboratory of University Hospital Ramón y Cajal. The CONUT tool was applied to 3.64% of them (14741 analytics). In the outpatient setting, the highest malnutrition index comprised patients from the liver transplant consultation department, followed by the cardiology, rheumatology, and oncology departments. With inpatients, the hematology, cardiology, and endocrinology departments showed the most severe malnutrition index. Conclusion: The CONUT system seemed to provide useful information about the cohort of the studied hospital. The results showed that 94% of the patients were not classified with malnutrition, there was no gender predilection, and they were younger than the rest. Patients with more severe malnutrition were usually older and male.

Abstract:

Poland is the country where a first scientific institution under the name of Human Ecology (HE) had been established. It took place in 1960 in the National Research Institute of Mother and Child. In 1969 this institution was moved to the Institute of Ecology of the Polish Academy of Sciences under the name of Laboratory of Human Ecology then changed into the Department of Human Ecology. In the middle of the 60s, the Laboratory of Human Ecology and Paleopathology was created in the Department of Mediterranean Archaeology of the Polish Academy of Sciences. In the 70s the Department of Hygiene and Human Ecology existed in the College of Physical Education in Katowice. HE is the main interest of the Department of Human Populational Ecology, Institute of Anthropology of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. Since 1999 the Division of Human Ecology within the Department of Biology and Human Ecology exists in the Academy of Physical Education in Wrocław. In 2000 the Department of HC in the Institute of Ecology of the Polish Academy of Sciences was canceled and then in 2001, the Unit of EC in the Faculty of Christian Philosophy of the Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University was created. Within this Unit, two Chairs were formed: Human Biology and Cultural Anthropology. The first one contains three Departments: 1. Auxology and Gerontology; 2. Genetics of Human Population and Demography; 3. Public Health and Nutrition. The second Chair has two Departments: 1. Ethnology and Anthropogeography; 2. Urban and Space Planning.

Abstract:

Competitive athletes have goals to optimize performance and to maintain healthy body composition. Sports nutrition is a component of training programs often overlooked by student-athletes and their coaches. The purpose of this study was to examine student-athletes’ sports nutrition knowledge across sex, class level, team, and completion of prior nutrition coursework. Participants included 123 mid-major Division I university student-athletes (47 females and 76 males) from baseball, softball, men’s soccer, track and field, and tennis. The student-athletes completed a survey questionnaire to determine adequate sports nutrition knowledge (mean ≥ 75%). The overall mean sports nutrition knowledge score for the student-athletes was 56.9% which was considered inadequate sports nutrition knowledge (mean < 75%). Only 12 student-athletes achieved adequate sports nutrition knowledge score of 75% or higher. There were no differences by sex, class level, team, and completion of prior nutrition coursework. Student-athletes’ inadequate sports nutrition knowledge may place them at nutrition risk, lead to impaired performance, and affect their lean body mass and energy levels. Athletics personnel should not assume student-athletes have adequate sports nutrition knowledge. Athletic departments may make available a board certified Sports Dietitian or Registered Dietitian and offer classroom or online courses facilitating student-athletes to optimize nutrition knowledge and behaviors.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the impact of immunisation service integration to nutrition programmes and under 5-year-old paediatric outpatient departments of primary healthcare centres in Rumbek East and Rumbek Centre counties of South Sudan.DesignRetrospective intervention study.SettingThree primary healthcare centres in Rumbek East county and three primary healthcare centres in Rumbek Centre county of Lakes state in South Sudan.ParticipantWe extracted the data for the uptake of pentavalent vaccine (first, second and third dose) given to children aged between 6 weeks and 23 months from immunisation records for January–June 2019 before immunisation service integration and July–December 2019 after immunisation service integration from the District Health Information System 2 website to estimate the immunisation uptake ratios and drop-out rates.ResultsThe uptake of the first dose of the pentavalent vaccine improved from 61% to 96% (p<0.001) after immunisation service integration into the nutrition programmes of the primary healthcare centres in Rumbek Centre county. The uptake of the second pentavalent dose improved from 37% to 69% (p<0.001) and for the third pentavalent dose from 36% to 62% (p<0.001), while the drop-out rate reduced from 57% to 40% (p<0.001). While in Rumbek East county, the uptake of the first dose of the pentavalent vaccine improved from 55% to 77% (p<0.001) after immunisation service integration into the under 5-year-old paediatric outpatient departments. The uptake of the second dose improved from 36% to 62% (p<0.001) and for the third dose from 44% to 63% (p<0.001), while the drop-out rate reduced from 40% to 28% (p<0.001). Children were 23% more likely (RR 1.23, 95% CI 1.12 to 1.36, p<0.001) to be immunised with the first dose of the pentavalent vaccine on immunisation service integration into the nutrition programmes of primary healthcare centres of Rumbek Centre county in comparison to integration into under 5-year-old outpatient departments of Rumbek East county.ConclusionIntegration of immunisation service delivery to nutrition sites and children’s outpatient departments improved the immunisation coverage and decreased drop-out rates in the Rumbek East and Rumbek Centre counties of South Sudan. This evidence of positive impact should encourage the stakeholders of the Expanded Programme on Immunisation to focus on the sustainability and scale-up of this intervention to other counties in South Sudan, as logistically as possible.

Abstract:

In June 2009, the Association of Mexicans in North Carolina (AMEXCAN), a leading Latino grassroots organization based in Pitt County, North Carolina, received funding from the Pitt Memorial Hospital Foundation to implement the project "Community Health Advisors Promoting Healthy Nutrition and Physical Activity in the Latino Community" (henceforth the Promotora [Promoter] Project). The goals of the project were to train a group of seven women from the Latino community (henceforth promotoras) to promote healthy nutrition and physical activity and to develop a model of community health outreach relying on the trained promotoras' own natural social networks. The project was designed, implemented, and evaluated through a university-community partnership involving AMEXCAN and university faculty from the Departments of Anthropology and Nutritional Sciences, the College of Nursing, and the School of Social Work, all authors of this paper. Students from these academic units were involved through curricular and non-curricular service learning activities. The project derived from a previous collaboration between AMEXCAN and the anthropology faculty, whose goal was to promote diabetes prevention through a series of informative workshops in local churches.

According to the federal law «Formation of a system for motivating citizens to a healthy lifestyle, including healthy eating and giving up bad habits» (or «Strengthening public health») which is a part of «Demography» National project, there is a work needed for healthy food’s popularization including the development and realization of unique educational programs dedicated to rational and balanced nutrition. The aim of the investigation is a discussion of approaches to implementation target educational healthy nutrition programs. The scientific and educational centers of healthcare institutions and Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare scientific organizations took part in developing the academic programs. Eight target programs were designed such as for preschool children, for pregnant and lactating women; for persons over working age; for persons with an increased level of physical activity; for the population working in hazardous and challenging working conditions; for people living in regions with specific environmental factors (micro-and macronutrients insufficiency, climate conditions). The development of interaction between particular departments of regional executive authority that take part in regional programs for implementing federal law «Strengthening public health» ministries or departments of the education and healthcare system is needed for reaching declared goals for the were educating the population on relevant knowledge and skills. The distribution of health nutrition educational program’s materials should be started among pupils in educational organizations considering the children’s physiologically determined learning ability. The projected difficulties can be the next: staff insufficiency in Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare local authorities and organizations; lack of creativity during the choosing of using methods; the passivity of other ministries and departments; insufficient technical equipment in educational organizations; psychological resistance to innovations.

Abstract:

Background and objective: Bacterial multidrug resistance is particularly common in Gram-negative bacilli (GNB), with important clinical consequences regarding their spread and treatment options. The aim of this study was to investigate the trend of multidrug-resistant GNB (MDR-GNB) in high-risk hospital departments, between 2000–2015, in intervals of five years, with the intention of improving antibiotic therapy policies and optimising preventive and control practices. Materials and methods: This is an observational, retrospective study performed in three departments of the most important tertiary healthcare unit in the southwestern part of Romania: the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), the General Surgery Department (GSD), and the Nutrition and Metabolic Diseases Department (NMDD). MDR was defined as acquired resistance to at least one agent in three or more antimicrobial categories. Trends over time were determined by the Cochran–Armitage trend test and linear regression. Results: During the study period, a total of 2531 strains of MDR-GNB were isolated in 1999 patients: 9.20% in 2000, 18.61% in 2005, 37.02% in 2010, and 35.17% in 2015. The most significant increasing trend was recorded in the ICU (gradient = 7.63, R² = 0.842, p < 0.001). The most common MDR-GNB in the ICU was isolated from bronchoalveolar aspiration samples. Concerning the proportion of different species, most of the changes were recorded in the ICU, where a statistically significant increasing trend was observed for Proteus mirabilis (gradient = 2.62, R2 = 0.558, p < 0.001) and Acinetobacter baumannii (gradient = 2.25, R2 = 0.491, p < 0.001). Analysis of the incidence of the main resistance phenotypes proportion identified a statistically significant increase in carbapenem resistance in the ICU (Gradient = 8.27, R² = 0.866, p < 0.001), and an increased proportion of aminoglycoside-resistant strains in all three departments, but more importantly in the ICU and GSD. Conclusion: A statistically significant increasing trend was observed in all three departments; the most significant one was recorded in the ICU, where after 2010, carbapenem-resistant strains were isolated.

Abstract:

Metabolic diseases in China have been on the rise during recent decades. To investigate dietary glycaemic load (GL) and its correlation with the prevalence of metabolic diseases in hospitalised Chinese adults, we analysed the total energy and macronutrient intakes in 1040 patients. Dietary GL was calculated based upon glycaemic index (GI), carbohydrate content and daily intake of individual foods. Dietary patterns at different dietary GL levels and the distribution of dietary GL were analysed in patients from the internal medical departments v. those from surgical departments. Height and weight were measured using a standardised protocol. The present study results demonstrated that in hospitalised adults, 95·5 % of dietary GL came from cereals. Average GL was higher in male patients than in female patients, and was higher in patients from surgical departments than in patients from medical departments. Patients with lower dietary GL consumed inadequate carbohydrates and excessive fats, and therefore had a higher prevalence of overweight and obesity. Dietary GL analysis may be helpful to nutrition assessment and rational diet intervention in hospitalised Chinese patients.

Abstract:

The aim of the study was to determine the current practices of nutritional support among hospitalized patients in nonspecialized hospital departments.Materials and Methods. During an observation period of 2 months, a surgeon and a gastroenterologist designated in each of the two departments concerned, not “specialized” in nutritional assistance, have treated patients in which nutritional support seemed necessary. Assessing the degree of malnutrition of the patient, the therapeutic decision and the type of product prescribed by the doctors were secondarily compared to the proposals of a structured computer program according to the criteria and standards established by the institutions currently recognized.Results. The study included 120 patients bearing a surgical disease in 86.7% of cases and 10% of medical cases. 50% of the patients had cancer. Nutritional status was correctly evaluated in 38.3% by the initial doctors’ diagnosis—consistent with the software’s evaluation. The strategy of nutrition was concordant with the proposals of the software in 79.2% of cases.Conclusions. Despite an erroneous assessment of the nutritional status in more than two-thirds of cases the strategy of nutritional management was correct in 80% of cases. Malnutrition and its consequences can be prevented in nonexperienced nutritional teams by adequate nutritional support strategies coming from modern techniques including computerized programs.

US public health dietary advice was announced by the Select Committee on Nutrition and Human needs in 1977 and was followed by UK public health dietary advice issued by the National Advisory Committee on Nutritional Education in 1983. Dietary recommendations in both cases focused on reducing dietary fat intake; specifically to (i) reduce overall fat consumption to 30% of total energy intake and (ii) reduce saturated fat consumption to 10% of total energy intake. The recommendations were an attempt to address the incidence of coronary heart disease. These guidelines have been reiterated in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans since the first edition in 1980. The most recent edition has positioned the total fat guideline with the use of ‘Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges’. The range given for total fat is 20%–35% and the AMDR for saturated fat is given as <10%—both as a percentage of daily calorie intake. In February 2018, the Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion announced ‘The US Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services currently are asking for public comments on topics and supporting scientific questions to inform our development of the 2020–2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans’. Public comments were invited on a number of nutritional topics. The question asked about saturated fats was: ‘What is the relationship between saturated fat consumption (types and amounts) during adulthood and risk of cardiovascular disease?’ This article is a response to that question.

Abstract:

Abstract Objectives Objective of the research is to provide a reasonable model of new meals designing for hospitals food departments. Methods On summarizing the information presented in a wide spectrum of special scientific literature, after assessing it from the perspective of practical adaptability, the original model for new dietary meals designing was presented. The model was tested in the two biggest clinical hospitals of Lithuania, then a patient survey was conducted and appropriate decisions were made. Results The model consists of the following key components: research and assessment of the patients’ needs (customs, traditions or hobbies), processing survey results (generalization of them in order to identify unified and general trends for the different groups of population and health disorders), selection and adaptation of appropriate resources according to the nature of the patients disease (according requirements of the dietary nutrition), choice of suitable processing procedures correspondingly a sufferings of the patients, calculation of the portion size (amounts of an ingredients), planning of the quality (decoration, components arrangement, equipment selection), technology description and approval by head of the department. The model was tested in Kaunas clinical hospital. Patients aged 60–70 in the pulmonology department were interviewed about nutrition. Patients had to assess quality in 10 points system. Freshness of the salads was only 7,45, although freshness was checked very carefully. By the model we found, crispness of any food always adds to the impression of freshness. So salads (beets, carrots, parsnips, celery, etc.) were supplemented with dried vegetable ingredient after conformity assessment of products’ energy value. Patients evaluated the new created meal very positively. Conclusions Use of the model reduces the failure chance and affect the decisions of new dietary meals creation. Application of the suggested model will allow food production departments in hospitals to be consistent in new dietary meals creation and increase the likelihood of their patients’ success of recovery. Funding Sources Any funders had no role in the design of the study; in the collection, analyses, or interpretation of data; in the writing of the manuscript, and in the decision to publish the results.

Abstract:

AbstractObjectives:To assess factors affecting competency development of the Australian public health nutrition workforce and investigate competency development intentions, barriers and self-reported training needs.Design:Cross-sectional study using self-administered mail- or email-delivered questionnaire.Setting and subjects:Two hundred and forty practitioners working in designated community and public health nutrition positions in the Australian health system.Results:An 87% questionnaire response rate was achieved. The profile of the sample included female practitioners (95%) within the age range of 26–45 years (67%), from dietetic backgrounds (75%) and employed in state health departments as community dietitians/nutritionists (52%) or public health nutritionists (32%). Only 14% had completed higher degree qualifications but most (80%) reported an intention to do so in the future. Entry-level dietetic education was considered by most respondents (57%) to be inadequate preparation for public health nutrition practice but considered it had utility as a precursor for public health nutrition competency development because of its strong grounding in nutrition knowledge, basic research skills and problem-solving. On-the-job learning was the most prominent competency development influence reported by this workforce. Flexibility in teaching and learning approaches is needed to facilitate workforce participation in further competency development. The main competency development needs focused on analytical and policy process competencies; however, there was a general need expressed for competency development across many competency areas.Conclusions:These data provide intelligence to inform public health nutrition workforce development, particularly that relating to continued professional development amongst the existing workforce.

Abstract:

Background: Energy metabolism speeds up during pregnancy that requires pregnant women to have extra amount of nutritions. Provision of education on nutrition during pregnancy is an effort to prevent and tackle malnutrition.Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of education using modification module towards nutritional intake during pregnancy in Kendari, IndonesiaMethods: This was Quasi Experimental study with pre-post design. There were 4 groups in this study, which were: 1) The group that received educational intervention using a modification module from the MHC book of the Department of Health, 2) The group that received educational intervention using MHC book of the Department of Health, 3) The group that only used modification modules from MHC book of the Department of Health, and 4) The group that only used the MHC book of Department of Health. The intervention was given for 6 months. Seventy eight of 4-months pregnant women were selected in this study. Data were collected by using 24 hours food recall instrument, and questionnaire adopted from Child and Maternal Nutrition Survey’s Questionnaire of Faculty of Public Health, Hasanuddin University. Data were analyzed by using Wilcoxon test and Kruskal Wallis test.Results: Results showed there was an effect of education by using the module modifications to the intake of nutritions during pregnancy. Increased nutrient intake was higher in pregnant women using a module class modifications.Conclusion: Education affects nutritional intake of pregnant women. Changes in nutritional intake was higher in group 1 (education modules with modifications), compared with the education group MCH handbook. It is suggested that mothers should improve the nutrition during pregnancy for the better growth of the fetus, composition and metabolic changes in the mother's body.
