Early childhood plays a key role in the formation of healthy habits and the establishment of health literacy. Nonetheless, there are only a few research studies focusing on the health literacy level of children under the age of eight. The aim of our systematic review is to explore empirical research on health literacy related to early childhood. The research was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA protocol. This systematic review examines 12 studies published between 2013–2022. Results show that research focuses on different domains of health literacy for children. In relation to children’s food literacy, children understand the relationship between health and nutrition and they realize the health impact of obesity. The habits connected to oral health are strongly associated with parents’ knowledge of and behaviours around oral health. Results related to health care situations show that children are able to be actively involved in decision-making processes in connection with their health. Exploring young children’s health literacy is essential in order to be able to plan health promotion interventions, embedded into early childhood education. Picture-based messages or story-based messages supported by illustrations can help measure health literacy in early childhood and can support the formation of health literacy.
According to our earlier researches -stating that on the one hand in the career competency of the examined subjects, out of the Core Job Dimensions present in the Hackman-oldham Job Characteristic Model, only Meaningfulness (task significance) contributed significantly to inducing favourable Personal and Work outcomes, and on the other hand, among the components of the Sense of Coherence, portrayed as a health and well-being factor in Antonovsky's Salutogenic Model, it was Meaningfulness that had a preeminent role -we asked the question: to what extent can this positive effect of Meaningfulness be further generalized? That is, regarding women in Hungary who choose a healthcare career, whether Meaningfulness felt within their job motivates them with a significant enough force to be a counter-effective factor to job abandonment (especially frequent in Hungary), to persevere despite the difficult circumstances. From a methodical point of view, we completed a quasi-case study in the circle of 158 female students taking healthcare courses and 79 women working in healthcare for at least five years. As control groups we used the age-and sex-standardized random samples of non-healthcare students as well as workers. Here, Meaningfulness within the Sense of Coherence proved to be the significant factor for staying in the healthcare profession. Practical conclusion of the research: during the training in healthcare courses, an emphasis has to be laid upon developing the Sense of Meaningfulness in the person, by means of establishing life-career models, personal career design, and creating the chances of a healthier lifestyle.Keywords: meaningfulness, salutogenic approach, sense of coherence, nurse education, manageability, comprehensibility, paramedical training, nurse turnover, female students, female employee
Lifecourse nutrition encompasses nourishment from early development into parenthood. From preconception and pregnancy to childhood, late adolescence, and reproductive years, life course nutrition explores links between dietary exposures and health outcomes in current and future generations from a public health perspective, usually addressing lifestyle behaviours, reproductive well‐being and maternal‐child health strategies. However, nutritional factors that play a role in conceiving and sustaining new life might also require a molecular perspective and recognition of critical interactions between specific nutrients and relevant biochemical pathways. The present perspective summarises evidence about the links between diet during periconception and next‐generation health and outlines the main metabolic networks involved in nutritional biology of this sensitive time frame.
Both the COVID epidemic and increasing innovation have led to the growing involvement of robotic caregivers in nursing services. With the potential revolution in the computational power of artificial intelligence, Metzler et al. (2016) and Locsin (2017) have envisioned a future in which robots could become true professional collaborators of nurses. However, one of the main criticisms of the development of such skilled robots is that nurses seem to have very limited (or no) say in the development of robots for nursing (Archibald and Barnard, 2018;Eriksson et al., 2017). This may be explained by the limited expertise of nurses and the limited research on robotics. Glasgow et al. (2018) argued that nurses are missing critical opportunities to be involved in the design and development of future technology that could dramatically improve patient care. Even though nurses have historically been excluded from high-level decision-making, Robert (2019) affirmed that nurse participation in the design and deployment of telehealth robots is critical for the best use of the technology. Studying nurses' attitudes towards nursing robots is key because understanding nurses' preferences
An adequate level of health literacy is essential for clear communication between patients and health care workers. The internationalization of universities is increasing in the field of health care. The aims of our research were to measure (1) the level of health literacy and its correlation among university students and (2) the relationship between the different instruments measuring health literacy. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the 2020/2021 academic year. The questionnaire included questions on sociodemographic status, study data, health status, and health literacy level. According to the HLS-EU-Q16 health literacy questionnaire, more than half of the students had a limited HL level in disease prevention (52.4%) and health promotion (58.4%) subindexes. Nationality was found to be an influencing factor (p < 0.001). According to the NVS, 80.1% of the students had an adequate HL level. A significant correlation was found between the results and nationality (p = 0.005). None of the Chew questions demonstrated a correlation with nationality (q1 p = 0.269, q2 p = 0.368, q3 p = 0.528). Nationality is a key factor in the level of subjective and functional health literacy. We need to measure both types of levels to see the real results.
Összefoglaló. Egészséges terhességben mintegy két literrel nő a vér mennyisége. A vérvolumen növekedésének elmaradása, de extrém mértékű növekedése is súlyos következményekkel szövődhet. Ma már nem kétséges, hogy a praeeclampsia, mely a várandósság második felében magas vérnyomás és proteinuria együttes megjelenése, nem egységes kórkép. A korai kezdetű (34. hét előtt jelentkező), hypovolaemiával járó praeeclampsia placentaris eredetű, melyben az endothelium sérülése vezet a magas vérnyomásért és szervkárosodásokért felelős vasoconstrictióhoz és microthrombosisok megjelenéséhez. Magzati sorvadás, oligohydramnion alakul ki a lepényi elégtelenség miatt. A kórkép végső stádiumában magzati elhalás, eclampsia, lepényleválás várható. Az állapot kezelésében rendkívül korlátozottak a lehetőségek; a cél, körültekintő monitorizálás és az állapot stabilizálása mellett, várakozás a magzati tüdő érettségének fokozódása érdekében. A késői kezdetű, nagy perctérfogattal járó praeeclampsia anyai betegség: ebben az obesitasnak kockázati szerepe van, mivel önmagában is hajlamosít fokozott folyadék-visszatartásra, magas vérnyomásra és mérsékelt endothelkárosodásra. A kezdeti lábszár-, majd generalizálódó oedema mellett nemritkán jelentkezik magas vérnyomás és az esetek egy részében proteinuria is, mely ekkor már megfelel a praeeclampsia kritériumának. A magzat súlya normális vagy átlag feletti. Az extrém fokú folyadékretenció, valószínűleg a parenchymalis pangás miatt, asciteshez, eclampsiához, lepényleváláshoz vezethet. A hypervolaemiával járó praeeclampsia kezelésében a diuretikus furoszemidkezelés ígéretesnek tűnik. Orv Hetil. 2022; 163(17): 663–669. Summary. During normal pregnancy, blood volume increases by nearly two liters. Distinctively, the absence and also the extreme extent regarding the volume expansion are likely accompanied with serious conditions. Undoubtedly, preeclampsia, defined as the appearance of hypertension and proteinuria during the second half of pregnancy, is not a homogenous disease. The early onset which begins prior to the 34th week, is characteristically a hypovolemia-associated form and depicts the placental origination, in which endothelial damage leads to hypertension and organ damage due to vasoconstriction and microthrombosis. Fetal blood supply progressively worsens due to placental insufficiency. The outcome of this condition often leads to fetal death, eclampsia, or placental abruption. Management is confined to a diligent prolongation of pregnancy to accomplish improved neonatal pulmonary function. The late onset form, associated with high cardiac output, is a maternal disease, in which obesity is a risk factor since it predisposes individuals to enhanced water retention, hypertension, and a weakened endothelial dysfunction. Initially, low extremity edema oftentimes progresses to a generalized form and frequently results in hypertension. In several cases proteinuria appears. This condition entirely meets the preeclampsia criteria. Fetal weight is normal or frequently over the average. It is very likely, the increasing parenchymal stasis will lead to ascites, eclampsia, or placental abruption. During the management of this hypervolemia-associated preeclampsia, the administration of diuretic furosemide treatment seemingly offers promise. Orv Hetil. 2022; 163(17): 663–669.
