Read More BACKGROUND: The identification of parental health knowledge related to obesity and overweightstatus in children is an important area. Its importance relates to understanding gaps in knowledge thatcan be used to create targeted intervention and prevention strategies to improve the managementof child’s weight.AIM: There is a growing awareness of the potential health risks associated with increased childhoodweight. It is currently unclear how well the public understands these risks and if understanding islinked to improvement in obesity or overweight levels in children. This review focused on determiningif the current research is available to describe parental knowledge and whether it is connected toimproved outcomes in the child’s weight status.METHODS: The search for original research articles published between 2003 and 2018 involvedsix databases, including CINAHL, EBSCOhost, PubMed, PsycINFO, Psychology, and BehavioralSciences Collection, and OneSearch. The OneSearch database is a comprehensive search enginethat allows simultaneous searching of the entire library category and results that are ranked byrelevance to the search terms. The terms used included for the keyword search in each databaseincluded: “knowledge” or “awareness,” “health risk” or “consequence,” “obesity” or “overweight,”and “weight” or “body mass index,” “child,” and “parent” or “parental.” A content analysis of includedarticles was performed to synthesize available literature into a review.RESULTS: This review included nine articles dealing specifically with parents of children and theirknowledge levels. As there was limited information about if child’s weight status connected to parentalknowledge, an additional seven articles addressing how knowledge affects weight at any age wasexamined. The findings for parental knowledge and its effect have mixed results and varying methodsof measurement.CONCLUSIONS: While some studies have indicated the importance of knowledge, it is difficult toestablish a reliable connection due to the limited examination of this subject. This is, therefore, anunderexplored area that needs further study.

Read More BACKGROUND: Caregiver stress is harmful to the health of both caregivers and people living withAlzheimer’s disease or other dementias. The present study was conducted to assess stress and itspredictors of people living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias’ caregivers.METHODS: The present descriptive, analytical, cross‑sectional study was conducted in December2017–June 2018 in Isfahan, Iran. Data were collected by interviewing 99 caregivers had atleast 6 months of experience caring for a patient diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, throughquestionnaires developed by the researcher. A convenience sample (easy access) of caregivers wasrecruited from calling the home of formally diagnosed with Alzheimer’s patient, that have registered ineducational hospitals affiliated to Isfahan University of Medical Sciences and psychiatrists’ office bothpaid caregivers (formal) and unpaid caregivers (family). All caregivers provided informed consent.The type and severity of the relationship between the dependent (stress) and independent variablewere assessed using Pearson’s and Spearman’s correlation coefficients, the independent t‑test, andthe multivariate regression analysis.RESULTS: The caregivers’ mean stress score was 25.4 ± 10.9 (range: 4–54). About 80% of thecaregivers were female. Age and stress score was correlated (P = 0.004), the mean stress score wassignificantly higher in female caregivers (P = 0.04), informal caregivers (P < 0.001), and significantlylower in the caregivers with previous experience of caring for Alzheimer’s patients (P = 0.02) or thoseintroduced by service companies (P = 0.005). Variables including the family relationship with thepatient (P = 0.01), kind of caregiving (P = 0.03), and previous experience of caring for Alzheimer’spatients (P = 0.04) were stronger predictors of the stress score.CONCLUSION: Stress is a challenge in promoting mental health among dementia caregivers.Providing social support with an emphasis on physical, mental, and social health is mandatory,especially for female and family caregivers, to promote stress management, mental health in thisgroup, and enable optimal and purposeful care.

Read More BACKGROUND: Women during menopause stages experience many symptoms, for which theylack enough knowledge to manage them. This study aimed to compare the effect of self‑directed andsupport group health education on the quality of life (QOL (and self‑care of postmenopausal women.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This field trial study was carried out with three groups. One hundredand eight menopause women were selected through convenient sampling method based on theinclusion criteria from three comprehensive health centers. Health centers were randomly assigned tosupport (n = 36), self‑directed (n = 36), and control groups (n = 36). In the self‑directed group, educationwas provided through educational package, and the control group received routine care from thehealth center. The support group received education through four group sessions by trained healthyvolunteers. Data were collected by menopause‑specific QOL and self‑care standard questionnaire.RESULTS: Immediately after the intervention, the mean scores of QOL in the self‑directedgroup, support group, and control group were 41.82 ± 7.61, 40.31 ± 4.80, and 48.17 ± 8.45,respectively (P < 0.05). In addition, the mean scores of self‑care were significantly differentbetween the self‑directed (40.67 ± 7.36) and support (36.50 ± 3.36) groups compared to the controlgroup (47.83 ± 8.47) (P < 0.05). After 1 month from intervention, QOL scores in the self‑directedgroup (40.67 ± 7.36), support group (36.50 ± 3.36), and control group (47.83 ± 8.47) were significantlydifferent (P < 0.05). In addition, the mean scores of self‑care were 64 ± 6.79 and 65 ± 8.32 in theself‑directed and support groups, respectively, compared to the control group (49.09 ± 9.43). Post hoctest (least significant difference) revealed higher effectiveness of the support group (P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONS: Results indicated QOL and self‑care in menopause women in self‑directed andsupport groups improved. However, the support group provided higher effectiveness. Therefore,we recommended paying more attention to the capabilities of healthy volunteers for the promotionof QOL in menopause women.

Read More BACKGROUND: Dental education can be a critical wellspring of stress among dental students,and studies have observed higher levels of stress among dental students than in the all‑inclusivecommunity. The present study aims to evaluate the perceived stress among dental undergraduatestudents, the sources of stress, and an association of perceived stress with sociodemographiccharacteristics and various stressors.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross‑sectional study was conducted among 380 undergraduatedental students (from 1st year to final year) in a private dental college, Kanpur. A self‑administeredquestionnaire was used to collect data regarding sociodemographic profile, perceived stress usingPerceived Stress Scale‑14, and academic, psychosocial, and environmental stressors. Data wereanalyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics‑Version 21 (IBM Corp. Released 2012. IBM SPSS Statisticsfor Windows, Version 21.0, Armonk, NY, USA: IBM Corp.).RESULTS: The mean perceived stress score was 30.25 ± 1.914. The median perceived stress scorewas 30. Statistically significant (P < 0.001) values were found for higher age group and year of studyingBachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) were important sociodemographic determinant of stress. Vastnessof academic curricula, frequency of examination (P < 0.05), and fear of failure/poor performancein examinations were important academic determinants of stress. High parental expectations andfamily problems were important psychosocial stressors. Accommodation away from home was animportant predictor of stress (P < 0.001).CONCLUSION: This study revealed that there are various sociodemographic (age and year of studyin BDS), academic (curricula, frequency of examination, and performance level) determinants andpredictors of stress (type of accommodation), along with psychosocial stressors (parental expectationand family problems). Dental colleges should develop stress management programs to promotegender and social equity and strategies to improve psychological support services. The stressmanagement programs reported either helped to reduce the number of stressors or enhance stresscoping skills, using relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, yoga, and stress managementprograms.

Read More INTRODUCTION: Maternal attachment to the fetus is an emotional bond and the unique relationshipof the pregnant woman to the fetus. Attachment is an important predictor of mental health. One ofthe psychological factors affecting mental health is resilience and hope. The purpose of this studywas to determine the relationship between hope and resilience with promoting maternal attachmentto the fetus during pregnancy.METHODS: This is a descriptive correlational study performed on 386 pregnant women referred tocommunity health centers in Isfahan‑Iran. The research instruments were standard questionnairesof Hope Snyder, Conor and Davidson Resilience, and maternal attachment to the fetus of Cranley.Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation test.RESULTS: The results showed that there is no significant relationship between the overall scoreof maternal attachment to the fetus and the total score of hope (P = 0.73). The overall score ofmaternal attachment to the fetus was positively and significantly correlated with hope subscales,including thinking (P = 0.004) and path (P = 0.047). The overall score of maternal attachment to thefetus was positively and significantly correlated with the overall score of resilience (P = 0.03). Therewas a correlation between the dimensions of maternal attachment to the fetus, including interactionwith the fetus (P = 0.003) and self‑sacrifice (P = 0.015). Maternal role acceptance (P = 0.001) waspositively and significantly correlated with hope thinking subscale. Self‑sacrifice (P = 0.027) anddifferentiation between self and fetus (P = 0.035) were positively and positively correlated with hopepath subscales. Self‑sacrifice (P = 0.03) and attribution to fetus (P = 0.001) had a significant positiverelationship with resilience.CONCLUSION: The results of this study showed that hope and resiliency are positively andsignificantly associated with maternal attachment to the fetus during pregnancy. Hope and resiliencyare positively and significantly associated with maternal attachment to the fetus, thus increasing theexpectation of pregnant mothers to increase their attachment to their fetus. As a result, they are payingmore attention to prenatal care, which can guarantee the health of their mothers and their babies.
