Abstract:

As part of the undergraduate curriculum, the Faculty of Kinesiology at the University of New Brunswick (UNB) requires all students to take an undergraduate course in physical activity, health and wellness in their third year of study. This capstone course allows students to integrate concepts from their program regarding physical activity, fitness, and wellness. While students have anecdotally indicated that this course has improved their knowledge of health and wellness, this data had not been quantitatively assessed previously. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the cours

Abstract:

Psychiatric disorders, particularly substance use disorders, are an impactful and highly prevalent public health concern in youth from low-income neighborhoods (YLINs). Indeed, prevention and intervention programs for mental health disorders that have evidenced improvements in youth from general population are not well integrated into community resources of YLINs and appear to be a poor fit for YLINs. Along this vein, experts have indicated there is an immediate need to empirically refine existing evidence-based mental health programs to be less stigmatizing, more culturally sensitive, relevan

Abstract:

Background: Teacher wellness affects teaching performance and students’ academic achievement; hence, teacher wellness matters and should be a concern to educational researchers and practitioners. There are several teacher wellness approaches, but no one of them specifically focuses on a Sports-based Physical Activity programme. Objective: To evaluate the effects of a Sports-based Physical Activity programme on teachers’ relatedness, stress and motivation towards physical activity. Method: Middle school teachers ( n = 32) volunteered to participate in the research as programme participants ( n

Abstract Introduction The electronic health record (EHR) has created additional administrative burdens on providers to perform data entry while trying to engage with the patient during the health care visit. Providers have become frustrated and distracted with the documentation requirements which further hindered connectivity, and communication with the patient. The utilization of medical scribes in the outpatient clinical setting was a strategy shown to enhance patient and provider interaction, decrease clinician’s administrative tasks, and promote satisfaction among providers and patients.

Abstract:

Recent government guidelines suggest that simply increasing physical activity, regardless of mode, leads to improved health profiles. This study examined the relationship between amount of work-related physical activity of United States Forest Service (USFS) workers and 12 indicators of health and fitness. Subjects were 110 USFS workers recruited from 8 separate USFS ranger stations in the Pacific Northwest. The associations between work-related physical activity and indicators of health and fitness indicated the 63 workers who were physically active on the job displayed better overall health

Abstract:

Research has connected sedentary lifestyles with numerous negative health outcomes, including a significant increased risk for mortality. Many health care professionals seek ways to help clients meet physical activity guidelines recommended by the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, the World Health Organization, and the American College of Sports Medicine in order to promote active lifestyles and improve overall wellness. Hiking is a cost-effective intervention that encourages people to be physically active while spending time in nature. Time in nature can lead to health benefi

The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to examine the effects of a motivational interviewing intervention to improve whole-person lifestyle and reduce cardiovascular disease risk profile. A sample of 111 adults with type 2 diabetes and/or hypertension was recruited from a primary care physician practice. The intervention was facilitated by a program specialist trained in motivational interviewing.

ABSTRACT This article considers concerns about the presence and phrasing of questions on physician licensing applications related to mental health, substance abuse, and leave from practice. These questions may discourage physicians from seeking appropriate treatment due to fear of stigmatization, public disclosure, and career effects related to licensing or credentialing concerns. Accessible and affordable resources and programs are needed to allow physicians to seek treatment in a non-punitive, confidential manner.

Many studies have shown that physical exercise improves multiple sclerosis (MS) symptoms, including cognition, fatigue, bowel and bladder function, depression, and overall quality of life. However, the pathophysiologic mechanisms responsible for these symptomatic changes remain elusive. Exercise offers a likely path for addressing progressive MS, nervous system repair, and as a wellness approach for people with MS. We as a community need to work toward gaining information to establish an evidence-based exercise prescription for people living with MS.

When examining food systems in contemporary, industrialized, and globalized nations such as the United States, there is a quantity over quality cultural mind-set driven by capitalism. This creates an environment in which consumer desires for convenient lifestyles run high, mainly focused on the production of food and individual financial gain rather than the food systems as a whole. This approach neglects the overall outcomes in health, wellness, health disparities, and the sustainability footprint associated with consumption. Food is more than just food.
