Evaluation of the origin and educational quality of youtube videos on adrenaline auto-ınjectors.

Background. Guidelines highlight the pivotal role of adrenaline auto-injector (AAI) training. However, the standards of visual training platforms has not been determined. Our aim was to evaluate the reliability and quality of the AAI related videos on YouTube. Methods. After a search on YouTube about AAI, all videos were categorized into groups based on their origin and the aim of the content. The quality, reliability, understandibility, and actionability of the videos were evaluated using the Global Quality Scale (GQS), Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool Audovisiual (PEMAT-A/V), Quality Criteria for Consumer Health Information (DISCERN), and a modified DISCERN. In each video, the application steps of AAI were evaluated according to a scale of correct usage. Results. 107 YouTube videos in English were included. No significant difference in terms of views, likes, duration and uploading time was observed between the health and non-health groups whereas the GQS (p=0.001), DISCERN (total: p=0.02, and overall: p=0.094), modified DISCERN (p=0.001) scores were higher in the health group. It was found that scores tended to be higher in educational videos. AAI use was mentioned in 85% videos. The median number of mentioned steps was 6. Conclusions. YouTube is an effective platform for visual learning for the use of AAIs. Although the visibility of the videos is equal independent of the origin, the ones recorded by medical professionals seem to provide the most qualified and reliable information.

Sports nutrition knowledge translates to enhanced athletic performance: a cross-sectional study among Lebanese university athletes

PurposeAdequate nutrition knowledge forms the foundation for optimal physical health and performance. In Lebanon, there are limited studies on the effect of nutrition knowledge on the athletes’ performance. This study aims to evaluate university athletes’ nutrition knowledge status and to identify the factors predicting athletes’ performance.Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional survey was conducted among 384 university student-athletes, using a validated tool with modifications (Furber et al., 2017) to assess nutrition knowledge. The modified questionnaire includes seven subsections (vitamins and minerals, general nutrition, fluid, fat, carbohydrate, protein and sporting performance). Further, anthropometric measurements were taken; body composition was determined by the bioelectrical impedance analysis method. Handgrip strength, as an indirect measure of athlete performance, was assessed with the hand dynamometer. To measure the existence and degree of significance among different variables, Pearson correlation coefficients, χ2 and linear regression were used.FindingsThe health group had a higher level of nutritional knowledge, compared with the non-health group. The overall mean sports nutrition knowledge score for the student-athletes was 63.54%, which was considered inadequate sports nutrition knowledge (mean < 75%). Further, athletes’ performance was significantly predicted by the resting metabolic rate, lean muscle mass and weight.Originality/valueThe findings may help the university administration to implement a nutrition education program for athletes enrolled in non-health majors. Information gained serve to help dietetics professionals in Lebanon refine education strategies and sports clubs in universities to start to budget for hiring dietitians.

Higher Education students from health and non-health subject areas: aspects of oral health

ABSTRACT Objetive To evaluate whether the area of study of undergraduate students influences oral health knowledge, attitudes and practices, in addition to the use of dental services, self-reported oral morbidity, self-perception and impacts of oral health. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed, with a probabilistic sample of 681 students from the second semester of a Higher Education Institution, who were allocated into Health (H; n = 347) and Non-Health (NH; n = 334) groups, and answered a questionnaire encompassing their sociodemographic profile and aspects of oral health. Data were analyzed by Fisher’s Chi-Square/Exact Test (α = 5%). Results The majority of students were female (H = 70.0%, NH = 56.9%, p = 0.0004), single (H = 82.7%, NH = 76.0%, p = 0.0429) and did not work (H = 30.5%, NH = 37.7%, p = 0.0482). The groups differed in terms of receiving oral health guidelines from the media (H = 19.9%, NH = 13.8%, p = 0.0333) or from other health professionals (H = 25.6%, NH = 13.2%, p &lt;0.0001). Regarding the reasons for their most recent dental appointment, in the Health group “treatment” (42.9%) and “pain” (6.9%) prevailed, while for the Non-Health group “review, prevention or check-up” (41, 9%) and “extraction” (8.1%) (p = 0.0169) were the most prevalent. The Health group was more satisfied with their oral health, with less frequent reports of a self-perception of bad breath (H = 30.3%, NH = 38.3%, p = 0.0483). There was no association between self-perception and impacts on oral health (p&gt; 0.05). Conclusions The groups differed regarding the source of information on oral health, the reason for seeking and type of treatment, and the self-perception of bad breath, with the Health group reporting greater satisfaction with their oral health.

Comparison of health-promoting lifestyle behaviours between female students majoring in healthcare and non-healthcare fields in KSA.

ObjectiveUniversity students are considered to be at a critical stage of their lives. As members of the young generation, they tend to adopt unhealthy behaviours. These behaviours can adversely impact their health. Level of health promotion is a significant determinant of health status. This study compared healthy lifestyle habits of female university students enrolled in health-related (previously published) and non-health-related (present study) programmes in the KSA to identify variations and associations between such habits and demographic characteristics.MethodsA cross-sectional study, using the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II) questionnaire, was conducted on third- and fourth-year non-health profession female students (n = 411). The data were compared with previously published data on female health profession students (n = 249).ResultsA low overall HPLP-II score of 2.39 ± .358 with significant variation between the two groups was observed (p < .05). Significant correlations (p < .05) were found between the total and domain scores by demographic variables. The non-health group had significantly more frequent engagement in physical activity than the health group, who showed better health responsibility, spiritual growth, and interpersonal relation practices. Decline of spiritual growth in non-health group and poor stress management in health group were also found.ConclusionsLow overall HPLP-II scores in both groups, with the highest mean score in spiritual growth and lowest in physical health, reflect the current attitude of the young generation. The introduction of a ‘wellbeing and health curriculum’ with adequate support from the physical environment and a culture that promotes physical wellbeing is needed.

The THE INFLUENCE OF EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND ON THE KNOWLEDGE OF DRUG USES DURING FASTING IN SAMARINDA

At the time of fasting proper use of drugs is needed, because the schedule of taking different drugs will affect of the drug. Schedule for taking medication affects the fate of drugs in the body, because it needs to be careful in changing the schedule of taking medication. So it can be said that the need for knowledge of drug use during fasting. The aim of this study was found the influence of educational background, especially in the health and non-health fields on knowledge of drug use during fasting. This research was conducted by survey testing using Google Form, by submitting several statements regarding the knowledge of drug use during fasting which is listed in the KDUF (Knowledge of Drug Use during Fasting) questionnaire. The total value of the questionnaire is categorized into 3, namely low, moderate, and good. The results showed that the moderate knowledge category in the health group is 26% and non-health is 30%, while the knowledge category is good for the health group at 74% and the non-health group at 70%. The results of the statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between the background of health and non-health education (P&gt; 0.05). So it can be concluded that there is no difference in the influence of health and non-health education background on knowledge of drug use during fasting.

If you don't speak, your voice won't be heard

Although the national qualification requirements for the delivery of non-surgical cosmetic procedures state that only registered health professionals (e.g. doctors, dentists and nurse independent prescribers) can undertake accredited level 7 training (Health Education England, 2015; Industry Qualifications, 2017), academies for ‘aesthetic practitioners’, such as aUK Cosmetic Training and Cosmetic Couture, are promoting courses at this level, delivered by none other than beauty therapists.Whether publicly in the media or privately on closed forums, the number of shocking stories being reported about the harmed faces of vulnerable people is on the rise. Not even a month ago, an investigation following a 17-year-old girl who was pressured into having lip fillers hit the national headlines (Strick and Bentley, 2017). But the truth is, without legislation or a U-turn from the Government (though that is not unheard of these days!), this won't be the last we hear of unethical practice.The notion of Tom, Dick and Harry being able to inject without consequence or accountability is as frustrating to comprehend as ever. With emotive posts being published daily on social media by medical aesthetic practitioners, including nurses, I made my way to the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP) stakeholder meeting on 24 February expecting nothing short of fireworks. Sitting with my smartphone, ready to tweet live updates from the venue, I waited patiently for the event to start, keeping my eye on the door to see how many practitioners, medical regulator representatives and industry experts would come through. But by the time the Interim Chair's presentation had begun, only half of the seats were filled. Excluding myself and my fellow editors, I could only spot a handful of dedicated medical aesthetic practitioners. Not one doctor, nurse or dentist who expressed their anguish on social media turned up to tell their tale. And they were missed.If you are one of the hundreds of experienced aesthetic practitioners out there using evidence-based arguments to make crucial points on standards of care and patient safety, your voice needs to be heard offline as well as online. Those in power can choose to respond to you or neglect your concerns as they wish behind a computer screen, but when questions are asked in person, it is harder for them to be ignored.On page 160, cosmetic doctor Aarti Denning poses the question: ‘Why are we reinventing the wheel in medical aesthetics?’. She wants to know why voluntary registers have been appointed to take on responsibility for the regulation of medical aesthetic practice, and why this is not in the remit of existing regulatory bodies, such as the Nursing and Midwifery Council and General Medical Council.The next JCCP meeting will be on 13 April and the Council is open to hearing your thoughts and reservations ([email protected]). So why not clear your diary, go to the venue and ask those all-important questions playing on your mind? It might be your only chance.

The medical aesthetics sector continues to transition through a turbulent time

Minimal regulation in the aesthetics sector has made many aesthetic practitioners feel aggrieved about implications for patient safety. For some, the formation of the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners, which is inclusive of health and non-health groups, has added to this discontent. Sharon Bennett makes the British Association of Cosmetic Nurses' stance clear on non-health injectors

What can be done to challenge non-health groups practising aesthetics?

A group of aesthetic practitioners are collaborating to put an end to non-medics administering cosmetic injectable treatments in an attempt to educate and protect the public. At the moment, there are many grey areas surrounding the legislation that not only perplex the public, but also baffle health professionals. Lucy Hollands explores why beauty therapists should not be able to administer injectables

It has been a year of loss, dissonance and division

A number of our best loved and iconic names have gone: Bowie, Prince and Cohen had given us the soundtracks of our youth, and Rickman, Wilder and Wogan adorned our screens with their grace and wit. This Christmas, some of our favourite household names, BHS, Banana Republic and Austin Reed, are missing from the UK high streets. All this in one single year that will be marked down as a historic yet tumultuous one, when we went to the polls on a sunny June day to vote on a binary choice—‘in or out’ of Europe. That subsequent Brexit result has now opened up huge cracks and divisions in the UK and this dissonance has been compounded and reinforced by the recent election of Donald Trump in the US.We are also experiencing a loss in aesthetic nursing too and I am acutely aware that there is more division within the sector at this time than I have ever experienced in almost 20 years of practice. This time last year, my editorial in the Journal of Aesthetic Nursing, ‘A truly memorable year for aesthetic nursing’ (Barton, 2015), was written with optimism—aesthetic nurses from separate organisations had put aside their differences, coming together with one voice on patient safety at both the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and Health Education England (HEE) meetings. The future looked bright for aesthetics; however, today, 1 year on, sadly I do not share that very same optimism.Despite the regulation, registers and guidance introduced this year, there are deep, cavernous and gaping flaws opening up. There is also palpable resentment, a growing hostility and a ‘them and us’ culture developing within the non-health movement. The very public argument between the plastic surgeon and the beautician, as recently reported in the press, reflects this antagonism (Bartlett, 2016). The story left me really quite cold and patients may well have been baffled by it.Having attended a recent Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners meeting, the low level of understanding and analysis of the HEE guidance by those representing the non-health cohort was an enormous elephant in the room, and this continues to be sidestepped over, walked around and avoided. For those of you that don't know, I boycotted the HEE expert meetings—I believed the non-health groups should not be sitting at any ‘expert’ table joining those of us on mandatory registers, when they have no such systems in place, no codes of practice, and no supervision of their ‘practices’ that are ambiguous in nature, ill-defined and without an evidence base. Needless to say, I was dismissed with a ‘they are there anyway’, so we must be seen to be inclusive.At our 6th annual national aesthetic nursing conference on 20 January 2017, my colleague Lynn Warren will be presenting a keynote speech on whether beauty needs rejuvenating. I would say yes, it most certainly does. I didn't sign up for inclusivity with beauticians, hairdressers and those who study the mysteries of reiki when I first attended training on botulinum toxin and tissue expanders back in 2000; neither do I buy into the premise that patients will be any safer because beauticians are pledging to clean up the sector. Aesthetic nurses must now closely examine their relationships with the non-health and beauty sectors, and ask themselves why they are facilitating them through training and prescribing services, before this becomes even more ugly.

Willingness to Receive the Influenza A(H1N1) Vaccine and its Determinants among University Students during the 2009 Outbreak in Turkey.

The study aimed to determine the willingness to receive the Influenza A(H1N1) vaccine and its determinants in a large group of university students. This is a self-administered questionnairre based cross-sectional study. Students being educated at health and non-health faculties were invited to participate in this attitude survey. A total of 974 students were included in the study, of whom 51.3% (n=500) were in health related faculties. The rate of willingness to receive the Influenza A(H1N1) vaccine was 11.9 and 7.5% for health and non-health groups, respectively (p<0.05). For the health group, having been vaccined with seasonal influenza was a significant determinant of being willingness to receive the Influenza A(H1N1) vaccine (O.R [95% C.I.]), (O.R: 2.9 [1.5-5.6]) and to believe that the Influenza A(H1N1) vaccine prevents swine flu (O.R: 1.7 [1.09-2.8]). For the non-health group, the only determinant was to believe that Influenza A(H1N1) vaccine prevents from swine flu (O.R: 19.1 [5.7-64.1]) which found to be affected by confusing news in media. The public health professionals who will organize the efforts to improve the acceptability of Influenza A vaccines during influenza outbreaks should try to increase the vaccination rates of seasonal influenza. Information provided by the media should be organized in order not to cause fear and confusion, which was shown to decrease willingness and belief in the Influenza A(H1N1) vaccine.

Personal Care in an Impersonal Society

Paraphrasing Clemenceau, people have said that medical care is too important to be left to physicians, and this is certainly true. It is also true, however, for the law, architecture, and legal planning. They are all too important to be left only to the professionals. When we apply that concept of nonprofessionals to the debate about delivery of medical care, what do we really mean? I suspect we would find that the debate exists in sort of an intellectual isolation unit. If you look through the programs of symposia like this or do a content analysis of the Journal of Medical Education , you find that certain nonhealth groups have indeed been admitted to the discussion about medical care in the United States. There are economists by the dozens, politicians by the score, consumers by the handful, and private practitioners by the token (I am that token today). However, we do
