From 1998 to 2005, 83% of those having bariatric surgery in the 18 to 45-year-old age group were women. Reproductive implications are ideally addressed when surgery is planned, including the possibility of increased fertility after surgery, appropriate contraception, and the interval from surgery to pregnancy. Maternal and neonatal outcomes post bariatric surgery have generally been found to be positive and are often improved over those seen in obese women without a history of bariatric procedures. However, surgical complications have been reported, as well as nutritional deficits. Some studies have suggested an increase in small for gestational age (SGA) newborns and increased cesarean section rates, while others have not found these relationships. Neonatal complications have also been reported. Pregnancy care for women with a history of bariatric surgery includes screening for and managing nutritional deficits, careful assessment to rule o...","PeriodicalId":55589,"journal":{"name":"Bariatric Nursing and Surgical Patient Care","volume":"7 1","pages":"75-82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1089/BAR.2012.9977","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60819900","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}

Teams and collaboration are key words put forth by legislators and by accrediting bodies. There are barriers to the actualization of these recommendations in the form of health-professional scopes of practice, which vary in many instances from state to state. Further, health professionals are taught about their specific scope of practice and seldom about those of others. The lack of understanding regarding interprofessional scopes of practice creates ethical issues for collaborative practice in bariatric team care. Bariatric team composition is clearly defined by the National Institutes of Health and others, a recognition that the patient population of care has complex health needs. The aim of this paper is to discuss the driving policy forces that advocate for interprofessional care and to exam the ethical issues that emerge for bariatric team practice.","PeriodicalId":55589,"journal":{"name":"Bariatric Nursing and Surgical Patient Care","volume":"7 1","pages":"93-96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1089/BAR.2012.9986","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60820447","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}

To that extent, patient safety and current healthcare dilemmas have become the focus of lively debate. Although important, the focus of this debate tends to be short sided. More and more occupational health experts are suggesting nursing injuries affect the nursing shortage and therefore threaten all aspects of patient care including safety. In fact, on October 7, 2011, the Governor of California signed into law California Assembly Bill 1136. This cash-strapped state recognized the threat nurse injuries place on the nursing shortage and ultimately patient safety. This article briefly describes current legislative attempts to address nursing injuries and the status of the nursing shortage, and argues that this shortage is unique in a number of ways.

While there are many factors which must be addressed to combat the prevalence of obesity, increasing physical activity is an important modifiable behavior. To determine if text messaging can be used as a communication tool to promote the adherence to daily physical activity guidelines in adults, a literature review was conducted. Methods: Five databases were searched using the search terms of text messaging*, and MeSH subheadings of cellular phones, health promotion, and health behaviors. Databases were searched from the year 1950 to present, although this topic is more relevant to this century. The literature search produced 37 articles from Medline, 68 articles from CINAHL, 8 from Cochrane, and 42 from PubMed databases. Titles were then reviewed to screen out duplicates and to verify topic relevancy.

As the rates of obesity continue to rise, so in turn does the rate of weight loss surgery. While surgery is proven to achieve significant and long-term weight loss, not all patients sustain this weight loss. The causes for relapse are variable, and there have been no consistent findings in the literature to suggest specific causes for this recidivism. This paper seeks to explore a theoretical framework and apply research from the cravings and addiction field to suggest a potential future area of study in which cravings and binge eating may be worthwhile for study in patients to identify patterns of susceptibility to weight regain after weight loss surgery. It is proposed that cognitive processing theory of craving will improve prediction of the successful treatment of obesity through bariatric surgery, using models that have been studied in the drug and alcohol abuse population.","PeriodicalId":55589,"journal":{"name":"Bariatric Nursing and Surgical Patient Care","volume":"7 1","pages":"25-29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1089/BAR.2012.9994","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60820145","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}
