This article explores how IPE with dietetic interns in training has influenced views and practices of pediatric dentists after graduation. Surveys were e-mailed to 189 alumni who graduated from New York University College of Dentistry's Post Graduate Pediatric Program from 2009 to 2018. Of the 67 surveys received, 44 (23%) were completed. Most alumni found the information learned through IPE relevant to residency (90%) and current practice (84%). Ninety percent of respondents agreed pediatric dental visits should include nutritional counseling. This study supports the positive value of IPE in oral health care and education.","PeriodicalId":48681,"journal":{"name":"Topics in Clinical Nutrition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42258651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 224 staff nurses working in 3 university hospital intensive care units were surveyed. Enteral nutrition practice was measured on the basis of Korean guidelines on EN nursing. The mean scores for EN practice was 4.02 ± 0.46 (range: 1-5). The presence of hospital guidelines and department protocols was associated with improved practice. In multiple regression analysis, the greater the level of awareness, the better the practice of EN. The results suggest that nursing practice may be improved by developing and providing guidelines and protocols, offering education, and increasing the level of awareness of EN.","PeriodicalId":48681,"journal":{"name":"Topics in Clinical Nutrition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44927676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fussy eaters showed negative eating behaviors in general (P < .05). The mean scores of prompting and encouragement to eat were significantly higher among non–fussy eaters (P < .05). Food fussiness scores were negatively correlated with dietary diversity scores (rs = −0.178, P < .05) and positively correlated with parental emotional feeding (rs = 0.114, P < .05). In addition, strictly controlled feeding was positively associated with FF scores (β: .115; 95% confidence interval: 0.041-0.251) and each unit increment in instrumental feeding decreased the risk of FF by 90% (odds ratio: 0.104; 95% confidence interval: 0.037-0.295).

Seventeen HPN patients older than 18 years were visited twice weekly by a competent home infusion nurse, and QOL tests were performed over a 2-year period. The patients were evaluated regularly for signs of catheter-related infections and other complications. The catheter infection rate was found to be 1.23 per 1000 catheter-days, and QOL scores remained stable.

Among the equations, Mifflin-St Jeor had the highest correlation (r = 0.435), but Bernstein (66.7%) and Owen (56.3%) were the most accurate equations. According to Bland-Altman analysis, the lowest bias and the highest explanation were obtained with the Bernstein and Owen equations.
