A total of 1189 secondary school children (579 males and 610 females) aged 12- 14 years old were selected through a stratified multistage random sampling. All adolescents were measured for weight and height. Household socio-demographic information were self-reported by parents. Adolescents were classified as overweight or obese based on BMI-for age Z-score. Dietary patterns were assessed using a validated Iranian food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) included 121 food items. The principal component factor analysis (PCA) was applied to derive dietary patterns, and Logistic Regression (LR) was applied to examine the association between dietary pattern and adolescents BMI. The overall prevalence of overweight and obesity among the study population was 17.2% and 11.9%, respectively. The PCA analysis revealed the presence of two dietary patterns that were labeled as ‘Healthy dietary pattern’ (HP), and ‘Unhealthy dietary pattern’ (UP). LR analysis showed that HP was significantly associated with BMI (OR: 1.28, 95% CI: 1.124-1.47). Similarly, UP was significantly associated with BMI (OR: 0.861, 95% CI: .725-.968). In Iran, nutritional transition has taken place in the context of urbanization and has changed lifestyle, and dietary patterns. Policies must be formulated and circulated in the society to reach every family in the form of healthy dietary pattern.","PeriodicalId":89422,"journal":{"name":"Journal of nursing and healthcare of chronic illness","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82396566","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}

Methods: A descriptive with a cross-sectional approach was used in this study. Eligible participants were recruited from a convenience sample at nine school of nursing in Central Java, Indonesia. Survey were distributed to 1691 nursing students attend the class. The modification of “The Genetic Needs Assessment Survey” was used. There were 43 questions divided in 3 sections/ domains. The questionnaire covers 3 domain, including perceive knowledge of human principles and disorders; comfort regarding genetics; and educational methods of teaching genetic topics. Also, there were 4 demographic data including age, gender, semester grade, and previous degree have been assessed. Descriptive statistics were used to explain results from data collected. Results: There were 1635 nursing students participated in this study. The response rate was 96.7%. More participants feel confident when they choose “minimal knowledge” in terms of genetic (e.g., DNA - RNA structure and function). However, they also choose “no knowledge of this topic) to pattern inheritance terms. The majority of students were not familiar to genetic disease, for example trisomy 13, trisomy 18, trisomy 21, and Huntington’s disease. Students also stated that they feel more comfortable to learn about genetics through lecture, small group discussion, and roleplay. Conclusion: Nursing students’ knowledge concerning genetics still low. This knowledge will affect quality of nursing care given to the patient. Thus, genetics topic should be included in nursing curriculum at any level of education.","PeriodicalId":89422,"journal":{"name":"Journal of nursing and healthcare of chronic illness","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90823675","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 question to be asked is whether such an automatic negation of\u0000a new danger is positive, not only for the reason of the lost dignity, but also because of endangering community and\u0000environment. For a long while now we witness the results of low rating and significance of the occupational medicine.\u0000The traffic accidents and misuse of firearms have increased, as well as sudden deaths of young athletes at sports events,\u0000the number of work injuries and professional illnesses.

The purpose was to meet Medicare-mandated target goals in reducing readmission to 12%. The project investigates the gap between the time of discharge and transition of care. The improvement plan objectives are threefold: to increase retention of self-care activities utilizing the teach-back method while monitoring emergency room (ER) utilization and measuring benchmark assessment. This project aligns with one of the Institute of Medicine [IOM] six dimensions of patient-centered care. Findings: In the period of February 22 – March 22, 2018, ten subjects were enrolled in the project (N=10). Even though chi square analysis revealed no significant difference (x2 (1, N= 10) = 2.3746, p = .1233) in readmissions post intervention (See Appendix -T); APRN – led TOC demonstrated positive changes in teach back and reteach via leadership competences and clinical experience revealing overall improvement in trends. Discussion: There were ten participants in the pilot study (N=10). Out of these ten CHF patients one was readmitted in the 30-day period of the study. All subjects were carefully followed and monitored. Field assessment benchmark revealed that at one week 100% of all patients were retaining 90% or more of the self-care activities and maintaining appropriate priority tasks. There was no ER utilization and patients in the “yellow” zone knew what to do with a three-pound weight gain.","PeriodicalId":89422,"journal":{"name":"Journal of nursing and healthcare of chronic illness","volume":"154 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84779887","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 Healthcare and Technology Synergy (HATS) model represents a synergy between three major variables, patient, product and practice, with each one affecting and being affected by the other. These variables exist within a total healthcare environment and are applicable to research in the professions of allied health, medicine and nursing. Problem: To understand and review the use of the Healthcare and Technology Synergy (HATS) model in research and practice. Approach: Models that include products can aid in evidence-based research that is translatable to patient care, patient outcomes and cost effectiveness. Outcome: In the past 5 years, five countries (Australia, Canada, China, Ireland, United States) showed interest in the model, with 143 total views of the seminal article, and 5 research studies from medicine and nursing have used the HATS model. Conclusion: Patient, product, and practice are of paramount importance in many areas of research such as bloodstream infections, urinary infections, ventilator assisted pneumonia, safety, and patient and product outcomes. Using the HATS model can strengthen research outcomes, aid in the prioritization of research agendas, establish evidencebased practice guidelines, and help in evaluating patient care outcomes.","PeriodicalId":89422,"journal":{"name":"Journal of nursing and healthcare of chronic illness","volume":"73 1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87759936","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}

A formal preceptorship model is imperative within the healthcare facility to achieve a seamless transition to clinical practice. Such a model will reduce nurse turnover, stabilize the workforce, and ensure patient safety and delivery quality care. Preceptorship programs are vital components of the transition experience. Their significance is reflected in their role with the assigned nurse, the preceptor teaches pertinent information on the unit, supervises, and evaluates performance throughout the transition period.
