Health promoting lifestyle in educational setting: an intervention study in the universities

The "health promoting universities" strategy has gained popularity and a presence in the higher education system, particularly in universities. It is imperative for higher education establishments to prioritize the promotion of health within their student body and academic community. By safeguarding and boosting students' wellbeing, a strategy centered on encouraging healthy lifestyles has the potential to boost the university's contribution to health improvement and offer significant value to the community. Universities have the power to improve health promotion through community service and to make policies in this area through research and teaching. In order to investigate student behavior in relation to the standard aspects of the healthpromoting lifestyle profile, this project will undertake an intervention study involving 150 students with the goal of promoting a healthy lifestyle. A pretest and post-test control group design was employed in this investigation. The health-promoting lifestyle standard profile II questionnaire was the research instrument, and descriptive statistics and inference were employed for analysis at the .05 significant level. The outcomes demonstrated a noteworthy impact on the implemented measures. This study's findings indicated that interventions in learning environments successfully raised student behavior linked to a healthy lifestyle and its components.

Leveraging epidemiological data for the development of interventions to promote healthy nutrition and physical activity among adolescents from disadvantaged backgrounds

Abstract ePro-Schools is a public health initiative designed to promote healthy nutrition and physical activity among adolescents from socially disadvantaged backgrounds using a targeted e-health intervention to be deployed in the school context. A central theme of ePro-Schools is its robust cross-sectoral collaboration, involving stakeholders from academia, healthcare, education, and local communities. This cooperative approach not only enhances the intervention’s relevance and efficacy but also ensures its cultural, social, and economic adaptability to the needs of the target population. The project embodies a truly interdisciplinary effort, integrating insights from epidemiology, behavioural science, public health, and digital technology to innovate and improve health promotion strategies. This presentation will explore how data from epidemiological studies, such as the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study, are used to support the development of the ePro-Schools intervention. Utilizing high-quality epidemiological data, the project identifies key determinants of physical activity, dietary habits, and sedentary behaviour amongst adolescents growing up in low-SES contexts, allowing to craft tailored strategies to promote healthier lifestyles within this vulnerable population.

Family characteristics, Basic Sanitation trought Health promotion moderating in prevention Dengue in Dom Alexo, Dili 2024

Timor-Leste is one of the countries with a high incidence of dengue fever (DHF), especially during the rainy season. Until now, there is no specific effective treatment for dengue virus, so prevention is an important step in reducing the spread of this disease. This study aims to determine the relationship between family characteristics and basic sanitation with DHF prevention through the moderating variable of health promotion in Dom-Aleixo Administrative Postu, Dili Municipality, in 2024. The research method used was descriptive quantitative with a cross-sectional approach. The study population included all heads of households in Dom-Aleixo Administrative Postu, with a total of 122,699 households, and the sample taken was 100 households. The data analysis technique used Pearson Product Moment, and took into account research ethics. The results showed that there was a moderate relationship between family characteristics and DHF incidence (r = 0.413). When moderated by health promotion, this relationship became stronger (r = 0.548). In addition, basic sanitation showed a very strong association with DHF incidence (r = 0.686), and this association remained very strong when moderated by health promotion (r = 0.545). Overall, the combination of family characteristics and basic sanitation moderated by health promotion had a very strong association with DHF incidence (r = 0.693). This study implies that health promotion plays an important role in strengthening the relationship between family characteristics and basic sanitation with DHF prevention, and that improving health promotion can be an effective strategy in reducing DHF cases in Timor-Leste.

The link between fear of disease progression and health promotion behaviors in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome (OSAHS): the mediating role of social support

ObjectiveThis study aims to assess the levels of social support, fear of disease progression (FOP) and health promotion behaviors in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), and to examine the associations between FOP, social support, and health promotion behaviors in OSAHS patients, with a focus on exploring the mediating role of social support. The findings aim to provide insights for enhancing health promotion behaviors among OSAHS patients in China and to offer a theoretical foundation for healthcare professionals in devising intervention strategies to promote health behaviors in individuals with OSAHS.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 307 patients diagnosed with OSAHS in Jinzhou City, Liaoning province. The survey instruments utilized included the Demographic Characteristics Questionnaire, Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), Fear of Disease Progression Scale (Fop-Q-SF), and Health-Promoting Lifestyle Scale (HPLP II). Pearson correlation analysis was employed to assess correlations, while multiple linear regression and structural equation modeling were utilized to explore potential mediation effects.ResultsIn the OSAHS patient population, FOP (r=-0.55, p<0.001) and social support (r = 0.60, p<0.001) were found to be significantly correlated with health promotion behaviors. In the mediated effects model, social support was identified as a partial mediator in the association between FOP and health promotion behaviors among OSAHS patients, accounting for 59.00% of the total effect.ConclusionFOP demonstrates a direct relationship with health promotion behaviors in patients with OSAHS, with social support playing a mediating role in this connection. Healthcare professionals are advised to underscore the significance of social support in promoting the health of OSAHS patients to mitigate FOP and consequently improve health promotion behaviors.

LEVELS OF PAIN AND INDEPENDENCE OF DAILY ACTIVITIES (ADL) ON OSTEOARTHRITIS PATIENTS

Patients with osteoarthritis will experience pain and limitation of motion which has an impact on difficulty in performing activities of daily living (ADL). Patients with these conditions also require recovery after total knee replacement surgery to restore normal physical, psychological, social, habitual and daily life activities. This study aims to determine the description of pain levels and independence of activity daily living (ADL). This study uses a descriptive design. The population of this study were all total knee replacement patients, 37 samples were selected using purposive sampling. The results showed that a total of 49.7% experienced severe pain and 84.6% of respondents had activity daily living (ADL) activities that were not independent. Nurses are needed to help improve the health status of ostheoarthritis patients so that the patient's quality of life can be maintained optimally. Avoid diseases that can aggravate and can fulfill daily needs independently. Health agencies need to further improve health promotion regarding the maintenance of independence and efforts to overcome pain levels in ostheoarthritis patients

Magnitude of Transfusion Transmissible Infections and Associated Factors Among Blood Donors at the Woliso Blood Bank, Oromia, Ethiopia: Across-Sectional Study

&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Background: &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;Blood transfusion is an effective treatment for saving millions of lives, even though transfusion-transmissible infections are the major problem. The prevalence of transfusion-transmissible infections varies between different geographical populations. This study aims to assess the prevalence of transfusion-transmissible infections and associated factors among blood donors at Woliso Blood Bank, South West Shewa Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia. &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Method: &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;An institutional-based cross-sectional study design was conducted. A structured and pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect data through a face-to-face interview. The data was entered in Epi Data version 3.1, and exported to STATA version 17.0 for data cleaning and analysis. A binary logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with outcome variables. Odd ratios along with the 95% confidence interval were used to present the finding and statistical significance was reported with a p-value of 0.05. &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Results: &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;The overall prevalence of transfusion-transmissible infections was 9.5% (95% CI 6.3-12.9%). Participants without formal education [AOR=4.84; 95% CI= 1.09, 21.46], unprotected sexual intercourse with multiple partners [AOR=4.77; 95% CI= 1.38, 16.44], and participants with a lower frequency of blood donation [AOR=2.85; 95% CI: 1.16, 6.99] were significantly associated with transfusion transmissible infections. &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Conclusions: &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;The prevalence of transfusion-transmissible infections was high in this study area. Educational level, unprotected sexual intercourse with more partners, and a number of blood donations were found to be independent predictors of transfusion-transmitted infections. Blood banks and regional health offices should work to mobilize the community and improve health promotion through prevention and control considering the associated factors identified.

DETERMINANTS OF STUNTING INCIDENTS IN SOUTHWEST ACEH

In Southwest Aceh, stunting is still in the vast category compared to other districts/cities in Aceh Province. Although various strategies have been implemented by the local government so that the percentage of stunting incidents can be reduced, these efforts are currently not running optimally. This research aims to determine the causes of stunting in children in the Southwest Aceh Regency. In general, this research is helpful as a reference framework to reduce the incidence of stunting for childbirths, especially in the Southwest Aceh Regency. This research uses a quantitative type of research with a case-control design. The population in this study were all toddlers in Southwest Aceh Regency, totalling 3,477 respondents. The sampling method used simple random sampling, with the number of samples in this study being 90 cases and 90 controls. The results of the study showed that there was the most dominant relationship between the mother's low education (OR=5.67; 95%CI=0.87-37.10; p=0.070), the mother's second pregnancy and the birth interval of the first child &lt;2 years (OR =14.79; 95%CI=3.97-55.10; p=0.0001), father's height &lt;162 cm (OR=6.53; 95%CI=0.86-49.71; p =0.070) and use of insect repellent (OR=6.43; 95%CI=1.70-24.25; p=0.006). A mother's second pregnancy with a birth interval of &lt;2 years is the most dominant factor in the incidence of stunting in Southwest Aceh. So it is hoped that the BKKBN, in collaboration with local health officials, the Health Service, Community Health Centers in Southwest Aceh, as well as village midwives in Southwest Aceh, will improve health promotion performance by providing education about family planning so that it can increase public knowledge about the importance of spacing pregnancies.

HUBUNGAN TUGAS KESEHATAN KELUARGA DENGAN MANAJEMEN DIRI KLIEN HIPERTENSI DI PUSKESMAS SILO 1 KABUPATEN JEMBER

The role of the family is very important in carrying out family health duties for family members who carry out hypertension self-management. Apart from the family, the role of health workers is to carry out strategies for pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment. The Health Promotion model is a non-pharmacological strategy that must be implemented by health workers. This research is to determine the relationship between family health tasks and self-management of hypertensive clients at the Silo 1 Health Center, Jember Regency. This research design uses a correlational cross sectional approach, the population is 454 hypertensive clients, the size used is 213 hypertensive clients, the sampling technique uses simple random sampling, data analysis uses the Spearman Rank test. Tested using the family health task questionnaire and HSMBQ. Based on the research results, most of the family health tasks were in the quite good category, numbering 159 people (74.7%) while hypertensive clients who had quite good self-management were 172 respondents (80%). Analysis of the relationship between family health tasks and self-management resulted in a p value = 0.012 with r = 0.172 so that H0 was rejected, which means there is a significant relationship between family health tasks and self-management of hypertensive clients. The results of this study can be a basis for health workers, especially those who focus on hypertension health problems, to make efforts to improve health promotion.

Scoping review of free evidence summary sources available online, relevant to occupational therapists working with children/youth, and families

Purpose Evidence-based practice is a professional standard for occupational therapists, but limited time, resources and knowledge challenge its implementation. This study aims to identify what free evidence summary sources (FESS) can be found through a simple online search, related to child/youth interventions surrounding cerebral palsy (CP), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), developmental coordination disorder (DCD), mental health or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (MH/ADHD). Evidence summaries share research in concise, time-efficient manners. Design/methodology/approach An internet-based scoping review was conducted between February 2022 and July 2022, using Google, and known evidence summary producers. Evidence summaries meeting the inclusion criteria were located and catalogued. Type of agency, target audiences, purpose and distribution of evidence summaries related to diagnosis were identified for each FESS. Findings Ten FESS were found, which produced 113 intervention-focused evidence summaries within the past 10 years. These FESS were aimed at a variety of target audiences: service providers, service users, parents/families, researchers and commissioners, and were produced primarily by non-profit/charity organisations (6 of 10) who were trying to fill a gap in evidence. Forty-eight evidence summaries were related to ASD, 34 to CP, 29 to MH/ADHD and two to DCD. Originality/value A catalogue of FESS that exist online was produced, to support evidence-based practice for paediatric occupational therapists with limited resources, and may support improved health promotion and informed decision-making for service users. No consistent framework for FESS evidence summaries exists at this time.

Self-management in patients with adult spinal deformity: a best practice implementation project.

The prevalence of adult spinal deformity (ASD) has increased in recent years. Patients often have to live for a prolonged period from the onset of the condition, up until the need for surgical treatment. Self-management plays a crucial role in disease progression and prognosis. This project aimed to promote evidence-based practices for the self-management of patients with ASD. This project was guided by the JBI Evidence Implementation Framework project and was conducted in the orthopedic department of a tertiary care hospital in China. A baseline audit was conducted to evaluate current practice against best practice recommendations. Barriers were identified and, after the implementation of improvement strategies, a follow-up audit was conducted to assess project effectiveness. A comparison between the baseline and follow-up audits revealed a significant increase in nurses' compliance with best practices (rising from 0%-64% to 97.7%-100%) in the following areas: improved health promotion behaviors by nurses in self-management of ASD patients; acquisition and application of communication skills with patients; increased availability of educational materials in the ward; and establishment of conservative treatment follow-up instructions for patients. For patients, the Visual Analog Scale of pain decreased from (2.72 ± 1.67) to (1.90 ± 1.14), the Oswestry Disability Index decreased from (49.96 ± 16.49) to (39.83 ± 18.97), self-management behaviors improved from (10.84 ± 4.31) to (19.52 ± 6.31), and maximum isometric muscle strength in the standing position increased from (179.48 ± 91.18)N to (250.03 ± 91.50)N, all with statistically significant improvements (p <0.05). For nurses, the knowledge questionnaire score improved from (34.83 ± 24.16) to (82.00 ± 11.11) (p <0.05). This project helped ASD patients improve self-management, alleviated their clinical symptoms, and improved nurses' knowledge of best practices. Future audits will be conducted to review long-term project outcomes. http://links.lww.com/IJEBH/A193.

Knowledge and Attitude of Patients Attending Primary Health Care (PHC) or Family Medicine Clinics About Periodic Health Assessment.

Background This study assesses the awareness and perceptions of periodic health assessments (PHA) among patients at primary health care (PHC) and family medicine clinics. Despite PHC's importance in preventive health, previous research indicates a significant gap in the public's knowledge and routine practice of PHA, potentially affected by various demographic factors. Materials & methods A cross-sectional approach was employed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with data gathered via self-administered questionnaires from 382 participants. The survey focused on socio-demographic information, knowledge about PHA, and attitudes towards it. Statistical analysis explored the influence of demographic and clinical factors on individuals' knowledge and attitudes. Results Findings showed that 300 (78.5%) participants had engaged in routine medical examinations, displaying substantial knowledge of PHA. Nevertheless, issues like healthcare accessibility and provider availability were identified as the major barriers, affecting 125 (32.7%) and 84 (22%) participants, respectively. The overall attitude towards PHA was positive, especially among individuals with chronic conditions, emphasizing its perceived benefits in health management. Conclusion The research underscores a generally positive attitude and fair knowledge level regarding PHA among the studied population, alongside significant barriers to participation. Targeted interventions that address these barriers and capitalize on the positive attitudes may enhance PHA uptake, promoting better health outcomes. This study contributes to the understanding of public engagement with PHA, offering insights for improving health promotion and disease prevention strategies.

History of Risky Pregnancies and Failure of Exclusive Breastfeeding in Indonesia

The coverage of exclusive breastfeeding for infants in Indonesia still needs to be higher compared to the national target (80%). Low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding is a risk factor for various nutritional problems in toddlers. The causes of failure of exclusive breastfeeding are multifactorial, including risky pregnancy. This study aims to determine the association of risky pregnancies with the failure of exclusive breastfeeding using national data from the 2017 Indonesian Health Demographic Survey (IDHS) with a cross-sectional design. The study sample that met the criteria was 6,689 mothers with children aged 6-23 months. The independent variable is risky pregnancy (parity, pregnancy spacing, age during pregnancy), and the dependent variable is the failure of exclusive breastfeeding. Data analysis using multivariate logistic regression. The results found that only 26.2% of exclusive breastfeeding practices. Risky pregnancy is associated with the failure of exclusive breastfeeding. Mothers with too much parity risked 1,195 times, mothers with primiparous parity risked 1,716 times, too close birth spacing risked 1,210 times, and too young mothers were 1,267 times more likely not to exclusively breastfeed than mothers who had normal pregnancies after controlling for the area of residence. It is necessary to improve health promotion programs to the public regarding the importance of offering exclusive breastfeeding to infants and improving fertility characteristics.

Chinese parents' intention to vaccinate their 0-5-year-old children with the EV-71 vaccine against hand, foot, and mouth disease and willingness-to-pay.

This study aimed to determine the intention and willingness-to-pay (WTP) of Chinese parents/guardians to vaccinate their children with the EV-71 vaccine. Knowledge levels about hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) and the EV-71 vaccine were also investigated. A cross-sectional, self-administered online survey was conducted between November 2022 and March 2023. A stratified multi-stage random sampling method was used to recruit parents/guardians of children aged 0-5 years in southeastern China. A total of 3,626 complete responses were received. The mean knowledge score of HFMD was 9.99 (±4.23) out of a total of 14 points. The majority of the participants reported a somewhat willing intent (58.8%), followed by an extremely willing intent (28.9%). Participants who did not consider the EV-71 vaccine expensive (OR = 2.94, 95%CI 2.45-3.53) perceived that the EV-71 vaccine is effective (OR = 2.73, 95%CI 1.52-4.90), and a high knowledge level of HFMD (OR = 1.90, 95%CI 1.57-2.29) had the highest significant odds of having an extremely willing intent to vaccinate their children with the EV-71 vaccine. The median (interquartile range [IQR]) of WTP for the EV-71 vaccine was CNY¥200/USD$28 (IQR CNY¥100-400/USD$14-56). The highest marginal WTP for the vaccine was mainly influenced by the perceived high cost of the vaccine. Those participants who did not consider the EV-71 vaccine expensive had more than 10 times higher odds of vaccinating their children (OR = 10.86, 95%CI 8.49-13.88). Perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, and perceived barriers were also significant influencing factors in the highest marginal WTP. The findings demonstrate the importance of improving health promotion and reducing the barriers to EV-71 vaccination. Therefore, it is important to improve health promotion and reduce the barriers to EV-71 vaccination.

Patient Experience Pre-Implementation of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Protocol: A Qualitative Investigation.

This study explores the experience of adults undergoing major abdominal surgery pre-implementation of an Enhanced Recovery after Surgery program at a tertiary hospital in Melbourne, Australia, to enhance health promotion in Australian hospitals. Patients who were undergoing major abdominal surgery and who consented to participate were recruited in this study. Patients were chosen based on an inclusion-exclusion criterion. In-depth, semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted by telephone and transcribed verbatim by the primary researcher. Thematic analysis was used and synthesised into five inductive themes. Eighteen participants aged between 51 and 82 years were interviewed. Codes were categorised into inductive themes: 1) preparedness for surgery; 2) communication; 3) aftercare; 4) expectations of surgery; and 5) overall experience utilising an iterative process. The following themes and subthemes emerged from the qualitative synthesis. Patients undergo a variety of experiences throughout the perioperative care period. Patient care and experience may be improved through increased access to patient engagement, information and communication, use of multimedia and teach-back method, optimization of the hospital environment and through providing adequate planning and support on discharge. Evidence of barriers to enhancing patient surgical experience can be used to guide the implementation of Enhanced Recovery after Surgery protocols in Australian hospitals and therefore may limit its generalizability. This will improve health promotion as these findings provide valuable insights into integrative methods that can be considered to be important for achieving person-centred care. This knowledge can be useful in clinical practice, implementation and education programs for ERAS.

Anemia in Pregnant Women and Its Determinants: A Cross-Sectional Study at Ummu Hani Mother and Children's Hospital, Purbalingga Regency

Anemia in pregnant women is still a global problem, almost half of all pregnant women throughout the world experience anemia. Ummi Hani Mother and Children Hospital is one of the referral hospitals for mothers and children in Purbalingga that provides the antenatal care service. This research aimed to identify the determinants of anemia in pregnant women at Ummi Hani Mother and Children Hospital, Purbalingga. This research was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design. The total sample was 100 pregnant women. Data sources were obtained from medical records, parturition registers, and cohorts of pregnant women at Ummi Hani Mother and Children Hospital. Primary data collection used a structured questionnaire. Bivariate analysis used chi square and/or Fisher exact, and multivariate analysis used logistic regression. This research found that 51% of pregnant women suffered from anemia. The results of multivariate analysis showed that educational level (p value=0.002; OR=5.07; 95% CI=1.79-14.37) and employment status (p value=0.045; OR=2.73; 95% CI=1.02-7.29) were determinants of anemia in pregnant women. This research highlights importance of improving health promotion regarding dangers of anemia and prevention measures such as consuming nutritious and varied foods at affordable prices which is focused on groups of low-educated and unemployed pregnant women.

Personality traits as protective factors of dementia development.

We aimed to analyze the association of the Five-Factor Model with the epidemiological classification of dementia. Cross-sectional design with data collected from the first wave of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSI-Brazil) cohort study, the largest longitudinal study on aging in Brazil. Data gathered from the ELSI-Brazil provided the foundation for demographic and health-related variables (gender, age, education, lifestyle, etc.), mental health indicators, and items associated with personality traits. Logistic regression models were conducted with personality traits as predictors of dementia. The psychoindicator optimism was the only protective factor associated with dementia (p=0.006). The other variables were not significant predictors in this sample. Optimism, as a dispositional variable related to personality factors (conscientiousness and neuroticism), emerges as a target variable possible to be developed in preventive longitudinal psychosocial interventions, based on theoretical and empirical evidence of learned optimism, to improve health promotion and self-care throughout life. The data from this study contribute to the advancement of research and to efforts of strengthening services and professional qualification for health and care practices, focused on protective factors, crucial to the global agenda for dementia care and research.

Awareness and practices in preventing maternal iron deficiency among pregnant women living in urban slum areas in Makassar City, Indonesia.

During pregnancy, the body requires more complex nutritional intake. Therefore, problems with fulfilling nutrition during pregnancy occur often. One of the most common nutritional problems in pregnancy is iron deficiency anemia, the most widespread micronutrient problem and the most difficult to overcome worldwide. This study aimed to determine awareness and prevention behavior associated with the incidence of iron deficiency in pregnant women living in urban slum areas. This was a cross-sectional study. The data collection used KoboToolbox, an Android-based tool. Iron status was examined by serum ferritin level assay using ELISA at the Microbiology Laboratory Unit of Hasanuddin University Hospital. The prevalence of pregnant women who experienced iron deficiency was 78%. The logistic regression analysis showed that poor awareness (AOR = 3.03, CI 95% 1.26-7.29, P = 0.013) and practices in taking iron enhancers (AOR = 2.85, CI 95% 1.18-6.92, P = 0.020) became the main factors associated with iron deficiency among pregnant women. Poor awareness and practices regarding consuming iron enhancers increased the risk of iron deficiency among pregnant women living in urban slum areas. Iron deficiency is a major health concern for pregnant women, especially those living in slum settlements, which must be addressed. A more optimal healthcare system for pregnant women may reduce the incidence of iron anemia in pregnancy by improving health promotion and optimizing healthcare services.
