Continuing Education Articles Included in CJP.

For more than a decade the health education profession has used the seven responsibilities, outlined from the 1978–1988 Role Delineation Project, as the foundation for credentialing, curricular structure in professional preparation programs, and continuing education. The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent to which the seven responsibilities and corresponding competencies were addressed in continuing education articles found in the professional literature. The method included using the Health Competency Assessment form to code responsibilities and competencies found in all continuing education articles (n=148) published between 1997 and 2000. The census of articles was found in four peer-reviewed journals and on web sites that published such articles for Certified Health Education Specialists. All articles offered for continuing education contact hours were selected and divided equally among the five researchers to read and evaluate (interrater reliability Pi=0.76 − 0.87). Results were tabulated and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results indicated that the responsibilities are not addressed uniformly in the continuing education articles. Responsibilities I (assessing needs) and IV (evaluating programs) were most frequently addressed. Responsibility VI (acting as a resource person) was addressed in the literature the least often. As a result of this study it can be concluded that competencies are not addressed uniformly in continuing education articles. Based on the study's findings it is suggested that editorial boards of professional journals may want to clarify the role of their respective journals in continued professional development of their readers.

This study investigated optometrists’ attitudes and self-reported practice behaviors towards omega-3 fatty acids for eye health, and knowledge and understanding of their potential risks and benefits. An anonymous online survey was distributed to optometrists in Australia and New Zealand. Questions included practitioner demographics and practice modality; self-reported practices and recommendations relating to diet, nutritional supplements, and omega-3 fatty acids for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and dry eye disease (DED); and practitioner knowledge about omega-3 fatty acids. Of 206 included surveys, most respondents (79%) indicated recommending for their patients to consume omega-3 fatty acids to improve their eye health. Sixty-eight percent of respondents indicated recommending omega-3-rich foods for AMD management, while 62% indicated recommending omega-3 supplements. Most respondents (78%) indicated recommending omega-3-rich foods or supplements for DED. For DED, recommended omega-3 supplement dosages were (median [inter-quartile range, IQR]) 2000 mg [1000–2750 mg] per day. The main sources of information reported by respondents to guide their clinical decision making were continuing education articles and conferences. In conclusion, optometrists routinely make clinical recommendations about diet and omega-3 fatty acids. Future education could target improving optometrists’ knowledge of differences in the evidence for whole-food versus supplement sources of omega-3 fatty acids in AMD. Further research is needed to address uncertainties in the evidence regarding optimal omega-3 dosage and formulation composition in DED.
