The intergenerational consequences of chronic malnutrition, starting with mothers and their children, account for a significant proportion of infant deaths, cognitive disability, and reduced productivity in adulthood. Therefore, having nutritional knowledge throughout pregnancy is crucial for better risk assessment of undernutrition and healthy pregnancy outcomes. The study examined whether trimester-specific nutrition education and awareness could significantly impact the relationship between maternal nutrition and birth outcomes and found that this association was stronger in women with higher levels of nutrition knowledge. As a result, a food-based approach that is both low-cost and high-nutrition can help meet the specific nutritional requirements of pregnancy, alter certain nutrients that target fetal metabolic vulnerabilities, or enhance fetal growth and development in the migrant population. The review explores recent research and discusses how nutrition literacy and knowledge influence pregnancy and birth outcomes, providing an overview of the current understanding of maternal nutritional trimester-specific needs and highlighting areas that still require further study. The findings emphasize the importance of considering diet diversity and peer support during pregnancy, considering the impact that nutrition knowledge has on pregnancy outcomes.","PeriodicalId":43030,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Child Health and Nutrition","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42014020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most common etiology of seizures was febrile seizure, followed by epilepsy. \u0000Conclusion: Seizures in children are not uncommon presentations with varying profiles in various regions of the world. Febrile seizures and epilepsy are the commonest cause of seizures in children.

This study aimed to assess the prevalence and determinants of undernutrition among children aged six to fifty-nine months in the Jashore and Khulna districts of southern Bangladesh. \u0000Methods: The random sampling technique was used to select 400 children of 6–59 months of age. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire and anthropometric measurements. The weight and height of children were taken using a digital weighing scale, measuring tape, and stadiometer following standard protocols. Children’s undernutrition was estimated by stunting, wasting, and being underweight. The logistic regression analyses were done to assess the factors associated with undernutrition. \u0000Results: The prevalence of stunting was 57% (95% CI: 52.1–61.8) which was positively associated with diarrhea, illiterate mothers, absence of sanitary latrine, and no antenatal care (ANC). The wasting prevalence was 13% (95% CI: 10.1–16.7) which remained directly associated with family size (≥6 members), low household income, and family planning methods. The rate of prevalence of underweight was 27.8% (95% CI: 23.6–32.3) which was significantly associated with illiterate mothers, low household income, family size (≥6 members), lack of pure drinking water, and complementary feeding started before six months. Stunting was more prevalent (74.7%) in the age group of 42–53 months compared to other groups, and boys (60.7%) were more stunted than their counterparts (52.9%). \u0000Conclusions: The magnitude of childhood undernutrition was high among the studied participants. Nutritional interventions should be implemented on the basis of significant factors in the local context to tackle this problem in Bangladesh effectively.","PeriodicalId":43030,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Child Health and Nutrition","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45221668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The surveyed school psychologists (n=48) informed they conducted more individual consultations and psychoeducation and fewer diagnostics than usual to address school students' changing needs in response to wartime. School psychologists felt more effective and involved with students when they believed they got enough support from colleagues and supervisors, learned crisis interventions, received clear guidance, and did not feel burnout. They appreciated current governmental guidance and felt their post-traumatic growth more when they were safe. After 1.5 months of the war, 43.8% of psychologists experienced burnout. At least a quarter needed additional education, psychological support, easily accessible supervision (especially short and rapid), and guidance for specific cases.","PeriodicalId":43030,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Child Health and Nutrition","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47131347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to assess the hemoglobin level (Hgb) and linear growth of children for baseline data for optional intervention. \u0000Methods: Community-based cross-sectional study was carried out among women and their paired children. A multistage sampling method was involved in selecting the study area and 1012 mothers/caregivers and their paired children. Interviewed, blood samples, and anthropometry data were collected and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 21.

A high proportion (76.7%, n=776) of women aged 20 to 35 years and 505 (59.9%) of women had an awareness of IDA. The mean Hgb concentration of children was 128.23g/L (+ 17.3), and 184 (18.4 %) of the children had anemia, which was higher (24.1%) among age groups 6 -23 months.
