Filter by:This research focuses on the importance of preconception health care. In this research, an intervention was carried out providing health education regarding preconception nutritional preparation. Research methods used is a Quasi Experiment with the Non Equivalent Control Group method. Example used in this research were 100 prospective brides and grooms in Indonesia. The intervention group will be provided with education through a preconception nutrition education module and the brides health card, and the control group was given education using the brides health leaflet.
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of web-supported peer education on health beliefs, knowledge levels and breast self-examination in university students.
Background: Rabies is a fatal disease that can be avoided by treating animal bites promptly. Hence, post-exposure prophylaxis is critical. As a result, the National Rabies Control Program was approved under the 12th five-year plan in India. One of its strategies is to engage in Information, Education and Communication activities. Social media provides an opportunity for the quick and easy dissemination of research but is constrained by a lack of peer review and the risk of misinterpretation. The efficacy of a novel social media-based knowledge dissemination strategy for rabies prevention was tested in this study. Methods: An experimental study design was followed, wherein 144 preclinical medical students of Maulana Azad Medical College, Delhi, India were included in each control and test group. The test group was administered the intervention, which exposed the participants to health education material via social media across a span of 30 days. Participants' knowledge, attitude and practices were observed before and after the study duration.
Text can be written in multiple ways to mean the same thing; changing how a text is written can make it easier or harder to understand. How many concepts or ideas there are in a text, divided by the total number of words, is one possible way to determine how easy or hard it is to understand. This ratio is called idea density (ID). Varying ID has been shown to affect the speed at which a reader understands; it impacts certain people more than others, such as second language speakers. This effect may be of particular importance in an exam, where understanding a question in a limited time is key. In the UK, pharmacy students must undertake an exam set by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) to be registered as pharmacists. The exam involves pharmaceutical calculations and shows variable pass rates. This study aims to evaluate the impact of reducing ID in a pharmaceutical calculation test and will be conducted in 14 schools of pharmacy in the UK. All participants will take a GPhC style test. Then, participants will be divided into two groups of equal size; one group will undertake a second test with the same ID as the first, while the second group will undertake a test with a lower ID. Finally, the investigators will compare the second test scores between the two groups as cohorts and question by question, evaluating whether lowering ID has increased students' scores. If and effect is seen, ensuring that questions are written with a controlled ID may help ensure we are examining more fairly and allowing students with the requisite knowledge to pass.
Despite older adults being exposed to an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), they are generally underrepresented in cardiovascular prevention programmes. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of an integrated exercise and cardiovascular health education programme (HE programme) on community-dwelling older adults at risk of ASCVD.
The study consists of a theoretical and practical intervention based on the Back School. This intervention will be carried out over 8 weeks with a frequency of two sessions per week, for a total of 16 sessions of 45 minutes duration. Of all the sessions, 14 had a practical focus (strength and stretching exercises) and the other two had a theoretical focus (self-management techniques and pain neuroscience education). The clinical practice guidelines highlight the importance of neck pain prevention through exercise an education. There are previous studies of the effects of theoretical and practical programmes based on back school on the lumbar region but not on the cervical region.Therefore, the main aim of this innovative study is to to investigate the effects of a Back School based intervention on the prevention of neck pain and as secondary objectives to investigate the effects on neck flexor and extensor strength as well as scapular stability. The hypothesis is that this BS-based intervention would have positive effects on neck pain prevention, neck strength and scapular stability.

Of all the sessions, 14 had a practical focus (strength and stretching exercises) and the other two had a theoretical focus (self-management techniques and pain neuroscience education). In addition, they had an initial session and a session at the end of the of the intervention in which measurements of the different variables were taken (The Visual Analogue Scale; Neck Disability Index; Tampa Scale Of kinesiophobia).These variables will be measured on two occasions, at the beginning of the study and at the end of the intervention, an average of 2 months. The clinical practice guidelines highlight the importance of neck pain prevention through exercise an education. There are previous studies of the effects of theoretical and practical programmes based on back school on the lumbar region but not on the cervical region. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of a BS-based intervention on neck pain and functionality as well as kinesiophobia and quality of life in adults. The hypothesis previously hypothesised that this BS-based intervention would have positive effects on pain, functionality, kinesiophobia and quality of life.
Despite older adults being exposed to an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), they are generally underrepresented in cardiovascular prevention programmes. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of implementing an integrated exercise and cardiovascular health education programme (HE programme) on older adults at risk of ASCVD.
This research is a response to problems with Cardiovascular Disease in Colombia, where circulatory system diseases are the first cause of mortality in the adult population, making them a critical issue for the country. It is known that around 70% of cardiac arrests occur outside health institutions, generally at home or on public roads. To reduce these high mortality rates, international recommendations were issued to establish strategies to train the general population in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, especially school-age children. This constitutes a key stage for initiating learning. This condition significantly favors learning and preserving the acquired knowledge for the rest of their life. Based on the reasons above, this pilot project seeks to be the first approach at the national level to train second-grade elementary school children in Basic Life Support. This training will describing the step by step experiences of the participants, focusing on: project viability related to recruitment and follow-up, acceptability, the experience of participation from the educational community, and the effects of implementing the intervention on the knowledge and skills in the child population. A virtual protocol will be implemented (adapted to the current situation generated by the Coronavirus pandemic), and will be developed through didactic methodologies in three 60-minute educational sessions, during regular class hours.
The investigators aim to study whether education, in the form of three two-minute educational videos about COVID-19 vaccine development and dissemination, reduces vaccine hesitancy and increases intent to vaccinate. The investigators intend to use insights from this research study to develop a framework for video-based 'education prescriptions' that reduce vaccine hesitancy and increase intent to vaccinate across a number of infectious diseases. This may have wide-ranging impact: inform practice for health promotions and public health, as well as support infectious disease related work done by healthcare professionals (e.g. those working in travel medicine, where vaccination rates are also low).
