The impact of continuous and intermittent supportive counseling on self-efficacy and continuation of breastfeeding in lactating women affected by COVID-19: a quasi-experimental trial

BackgroundPromoting exclusive breastfeeding can have a great effect in reducing the complications and mortality rate of mother and child.ObjectiveThe study aimed to compare the effects of continuous and intermittent supportive counselling on the self-efficacy and continuity of breastfeeding among Lactating mothers with COVID-19.MethodsThe study was a semi-experimental research method and was conducted on 73 mothers with COVID-19 who were hospitalized in Ayatollah Mousavi Hospital in Zanjan, Iran from May 2021 to April 2022. In the continuous counselling group, counselling was provided daily for 14 days, while in the intermittent counselling group, counselling was provided once a week for four weeks. Breastfeeding continuity was assessed based on the World Health Organization’s classification, and breastfeeding self-efficacy was measured using Dennis’ standard breastfeeding self-efficacy questionnaire (BSE) up to four months after delivery. The data were analyzed using chi-square tests, independent t-tests, paired t-tests, analysis of variance with repeated measures, and survival analysis (Kaplan-Meier) with a 95% confidence level.ResultsThe survival analysis revealed that the cessation of exclusive breastfeeding occurred in 17 cases within the continuous counselling group and in 22 cases within the intermittent counselling group. The rates of continuation for exclusive breastfeeding were 52.8% and 40.5% in the continuous and intermittent counselling group respectively. However, no statistically significant differences were observed in the continuation of breastfeeding and the trend of changes in the mean scores of breastfeeding self-efficacies between the continuous and intermittent counselling groups. Furthermore, comparing the change in breastfeeding self-efficacy scores between the one-month and four-month follow-ups within the continuous counselling group, a statistically significant increase was observed.ConclusionThe results indicated no difference in the effectiveness of continuous and intermittent counseling methods in improving breastfeeding continuity in women with COVID-19. Further research is needed to explore the long-term effects of different counseling approaches on breastfeeding outcomes during crises.Trial registrationThe study was registered on the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials website on 29/06/2021 with the registration code IRCT20150731023423N19.

The psychodynamic group counseling approach considers the intrapsychic and interpersonal dynamics within the group as the main focus of intervention. The main goal of psychodynamic group counseling is to explore and understand unconscious conflicts and underlying patterns of behavior. In psychodynamic group counseling, the counselor acts as a facilitator who helps group members explore unconscious conflicts and dynamics that may arise in group interactions. Through this process, group members are given the opportunity to explore their experiences, identify disturbing patterns, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. Psychodynamic group counseling methods can involve symbolic interpretation, mimicry analysis, and reflection on interactions between group members. Through discussion and reflection, group members can support each other and explore a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships with others. As such, psychodynamic group counseling can be a powerful tool in facilitating personal and interpersonal growth for individuals involved in the process. Through a deeper understanding of psychodynamic dynamics in a group context, group members can experience positive changes in their patterns of behavior and improve the quality of their relationships with others.

Effect of Lifestyle Counselling via a Mobile Application on Disease Activity Control in Inflammatory Arthritis: A Single-Blinded, Randomized Controlled Study.

Mobile applications (apps) are a resource for information on lifestyle and nutrition which are associated to improved outcomes in inflammatory arthritis. The aim of this study was to explore whether targeted lifestyle counselling via an app improves disease activity in arthritis patients. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) were randomized to 12 weeks of lifestyle counselling via an app (Mida, Midaia GmbH, Germany) pertaining to a healthy Mediterranean Diet, physical activity, and mental health. Disease activity was measured with specific instruments by a blinded physician and categorized (remission, low, moderate, high). Dietary adherence was assessed by the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MEDAS). Mixed effects logistic regression adjusted to baseline disease activity, age, and sex were calculated. Of 158 patients included (73% female, 53.3 ± 11.7 years), 74 were in the active counselling group (ACG). All showed improvement in low disease activity or remission. ACG patients had an odds ratio (OR) of 2.8 (95%-CI 1.1-7.2, p = 0.035), while OR in the control group was not significant OR = 2.1 (0.9-5.0, p = 0.097). The control group was less likely to reach a MEDAS >= 4 (OR = 0.16 (0.03-0.77), p = 0.02), while this was not seen in the ACG (OR = 0.54 (0.06-4.63), p = 0.6). Patients in the ACG showed a tendency towards improved adhesion to a Mediterranean Diet (MEDAS) (β = 0.35 (-0.05-0.74), p = 0.086). This tendency was not observed in the control group (β = 0.09 (-0.29-0.46), p = 0.64). Individualized lifestyle and dietary counselling via app may help to improve disease control in inflammatory arthritis patients.

Comparison of BMI changes in Japanese adults receiving face-to-face versus online counseling for specific health guidance: a noninferiority prospective observational study.

This study aimed to evaluate the noninferiority of online counseling over face-to-face counseling for specific health guidance (SHG). This prospective observational study was conducted using specific health checkup (SHC) and SHG data of individuals with health insurance in Japan. We analyzed data from 1431 participants who met the inclusion criteria, including those who underwent online or face-to-face counseling between April 1, 2020 and March 31, 2021, and received an SHC in the following year but no earlier than 90days after their first counseling session. Assessed variables comprised demographics, counseling methods, and SHC results, including baseline questionnaire findings and body mass index (BMI) at follow-up. We performed inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) using propensity scores, with changes in BMI as the objective variable and the counseling method as the explanatory variable. We set the noninferiority margin to 0.175, based on a previous study. The online and face-to-face counseling groups comprised 455 (31.8%) and 976 (68.2%) participants, respectively. The number of men and mean age were 214 (47.0%) and 49.9years (SD: 6.9years), respectively, in the online counseling group, and 491 (50.3%) and 51.1years (SD: 7.6years), respectively, in the face-to-face counseling group. IPTW using propensity scores revealed a regression coefficient of -0.014 (95% CI: -0.157 to 0.129) for the online group compared with the face-to-face group (P = .847). The CI was within the noninferiority margin. The effects of online counseling on BMI are likely noninferior to those of face-to-face counseling.

‘Counselling is not just providing information’: perceptions of caregivers and stakeholders on the design of nutrition and health counselling interventions for families with young children in rural Kenya

BackgroundGlobally, a fifth of the children continue to face chronic undernutrition with a majority of them situated in the Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC). The rising numbers are attributed to aggravating factors like limited nutrition knowledge, poor feeding practices, seasonal food insecurity, and diseases. Interventions targeting behaviour change may reduce the devastating nutrition situation of children in the LMICs.ObjectiveFor the co-design of a Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) intervention for young children in rural Kenya, we aimed to identify the experiences, barriers, facilitators, and preferences of caregivers and stakeholders regarding nutrition and health counselling.DesignWe employed a qualitative study design and used a semi-structured interview guide. The in-depth interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analysed using content analysis, facilitated by the software NVivo.SettingHealth and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) area in Siaya County, rural Kenya.ParticipantsWe interviewed 30 caregivers of children between 6 and 23 months of age and 29 local stakeholders with experience in implementing nutrition projects in Kenya.ResultsNutrition and health counselling (NHC) was usually conducted in hospital settings with groups of mothers. Barriers to counselling were long queues and delays, long distances and high travel costs, the inapplicability of the counselling content, lack of spousal support, and a high domestic workload. Facilitators included the trust of caregivers in Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) and counselling services offered free of charge. Preferences comprised (1) delivering of counselling by CHVs, (2) offering individual and group counselling, (3) targeting male and female caregivers.ConclusionThere is a disconnect between the caregivers’ preferences and the services currently offered. Among these families, a successful BCC strategy that employs nutrition and health counselling should apply a community-based communication channel through trusted CHVs, addressing male and female caregivers, and comprising group and individual sessions.

Relationships among locus of control, academic engagement, and achievement motivation in Chinese adolescents

Previous studies have revealed the effect of locus of control on academic engagement and achievement motivation, but the role that achievement motivation plays in the relationship between the other two variables for Chinese adolescents has remained unclear. We conducted two studies to explore this issue. In Study 1 we used standardized scales to measure locus of control (Internal–External Control Scale), academic engagement (Utrecht Work Engagement Scale–Student), and achievement motivation (Achievement Motivation Scale) among 1,811 middle school students. In Study 2 we intervened in the participants' achievement motivation by way of group counseling to further check the effect on their academic engagement. We randomly recruited 64 students from the same school for control and experimental groups and constructed a relationship model among the three variables of locus of control, academic engagement, and achievement motivation. Results demonstrated that intervention in achievement motivation can effectively enhance the academic engagement of middle school students.

We adopted a one-group pretest-posttest design for 20 bachelor’s novice group leaders. ""Group Counseling Leadership Scale"" was employed to measure participants’ group leadership before and after the course, and again three months later in a follow-up test. The results showed that the participants significantly improve in the group counseling competence in a stable and long-term manner. The performances of the five dimensions in group counseling competence were slightly different. Participants’ preparation skills before group counseling practicum showed significant growth (p < .001) and exhibited extended effects. Participants also showed significant growth in group process leading skills and professional code of ethics in group counseling (p < .05). However, participants showed no significant growth in leaders’ psychology, behavioral traits, and theoretical basis. This training course is indeed a significant help for the participants’ group leadership competence. In addition, the improvement of pre-group preparation skills had a long-term effect, and the total score of leadership competence did not drop in the tracking test. </p> <p>The suggestions are made in the study for the follow-up research: (1) For teaching the course, the group supervision hours may be extended or the group supervision can be combined with individual supervision; (2) for research, a mixed-methods research can be adopted. In addition to quantitative evaluation, qualitative research methods can be carried out for systematic analysis. As such we can clearly see the factors that promote the training effect of group counseling practice courses on novice leaders.</p> <p> </p>

Empowering Midwifery Students: Educational Intervention Based on Group Counseling for Clinical Stress Management

Background: Clinical education in medical sciences is highly stressful. Students face stressors not only related to the learning environment but also in the clinical setting. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the impact of group counseling on clinical stress management among midwifery students at a medical university in southeastern Iran. Methods: In this quasi-experimental interventional study, a before-after design was employed using the census method involving 48 midwifery students. A researcher-designed questionnaire was utilized to evaluate factors contributing to stress. The educational interventions were conducted in eight group sessions from November 2021 to February 2022 at Pastor Educational and Medical Hospital in Bam City, Kerman province. Data analysis was conducted using the MIC-MAC model, and statistical analyses included the paired sample t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient through SPSS. Results: Overall, mean scores of stressors decreased significantly after the educational intervention (P = 0.006). Before the intervention, the highest and lowest mean scores were related to "teacher role" (3.15 ± 0.84) and "student's personality" (2.18 ± 0.61), respectively. After the intervention, these subareas continued to have the highest and lowest mean scores of stressors, (2.73 ± 0.94) and (2.19 ± 0.66), respectively. All stressors showed a significant correlation with the total stress score after the intervention. Conclusions: The presence of stress management programs tailored to the specific needs of medical science students, both in academic and clinical settings, is crucial. These programs should prioritize enhancing communication skills between teachers and students, improving interpersonal relationships, and providing incentives to boost student self-confidence.

Nutritional counseling improves mortality and prevents hepatic encephalopathy in patients with alcohol-associated liver disease.

Nutritional counseling improves malnutrition, which determines the prognosis of patients with chronic liver disease. In this study, we investigated the effects of nutritional counseling on mortality and the risk of overt hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in patients with alcohol-associated liver disease. In this retrospective cohort study, we included 211 patients with alcohol-associated liver disease who visited Gifu University Hospital between August 2008 and June 2023. Patients were classified into two groups according to the frequency of nutritional counseling by a registered dietitian. The primary outcomes were all-cause mortality and overt HE. Propensity score matching analysis was performed to adjust for potential confounders. Among the patients (median age 67years; 88% men; and median Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score, 9), 86 (39%) were in the high-frequency (≥2) nutritional counseling group. The high-frequency group had a significantly higher survival rate (46% vs. 25%) and a lower incidence of overt HE (16% vs. 27%) at 5years than the low-frequency group. Nutritional counseling was associated with a reduced risk of mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 0.48; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.36-0.63) and overt HE (HR 0.64; 95% CI 0.42-0.99), independent of hepatocellular carcinoma and liver function reserve. After propensity score matching, nutritional counseling was still associated with a reduced risk of mortality (HR 0.34; 95% CI 0.19-0.59) and overt HE (HR 0.31; 95% CI 0.11-0.87). Nutritional counseling effectively improves mortality and prevents overt HE in patients with alcohol-associated liver disease, thereby proving essential for the management of these patients.

Abstract The first thousand days of life (1000 HPK) are very important in human growth and development. About 80% of the development of the brain and body organs occurs during the golden period (1000 HPK). Missing the opportunity to grow optimally during this period can cause stunting with long-lasting impacts. Education for mothers of toddlers includes improving nutrition, monitoring routine growth every month, and monitoring development regularly at least once every 3 months. The activity was carried out with the aim of increasing community knowledge about stunting in Oesusu Village, Kupang Regency in September 2023. Implementation used the "group counseling" method. Where, all communities are given counseling with the aim that they can understand, change their daily culture regarding the problem of stunting and all the causes and impacts related to the problem of stunting. The evaluation process was carried out before and after the activity to measure the abilities and changes in attitudes of 50 participants consisting of family mothers, posyandu cadres, and Oesusu Village officials, Kupang Regency regarding the counseling material. The pre-tesresults found that the majority (89.8%) of the counseling participants did not understand stunting, its causal factors and impact on children's growth and the quality of human resources. However, after confirmation of the results of the counseling, it was discovered that 100% of the counseling participants could understand and be able to answer questions about the counseling material. This means that it is still very important to continue providing education to the community, cadres and village officials in order to support efforts to accelerate stunting reduction. Keywords: community participation, clean and healthy living practices, prevention and management of stunting, Oesusu village, Kupang district
