“…Nutritional experiences as a child influence nutritional habits as an adult (Özlü et al, 2022). As a result, nutrition instruction should be ongoing, effective, and addressed at all family members (Qamar et al, 2022). It should encompass the following stages: education provision, knowledge acquisition, attitude formation, and behavior development (Christofaro et al, 2019).…”

This study was carried out to assess the role of stakeholders’ collaboration in the implementation of school feeding programme of twelve years basic education schools in Nyabihu District, Rwanda. The study utilized a convergent research strategy to collect both quantitative and qualitative data simultaneously. Questionnaires, interviews, documentations and observation were the techniques employed to obtain the primary data and secondary data. The population of the study comprised of 75 stakeholders. Census sampling was used and samples of 75 stakeholders were drawn. For collecting data, researcher organized well-structured questionnaire; data were edited and sorted for the next stage. The data were presented in statistical tables, with frequencies and percentages for classifications of responses by statistical package of social sciences (SPSS) for easier analysis and interpretation. Data from interview sessions was obtained from 4 chairpersons of school general assembly committees. Data from documentation was obtained from school records whereas data from observation were obtained before and during lunch periods. The results indicated that there is positive and significant effect on the role of parents’ engagement on the implementation of school feeding program in twelve years basic education schools (R=.979, p<0.05). To make implementation of school feeding program very successful, parents should make timely payments for their school food donations. To administer the school feeding program, parents should collaborate closely with school administration. Parents must participate in the school meal program rather than believing that it should only be funded by the government.

“…The COVID-19 pandemic has not only disrupted traditional face-to-face learning but also propelled a significant digital transformation in higher education globally, as evidenced by studies [1,2]. Simultaneously, healthcare and dietetic practices have shifted towards virtual platforms, including telemedicine/telenutrition and remote patient monitoring, indicating a broader trend towards digitalization [3,4].…”

Aim: The COVID-19 pandemic leads to a significant digital transformation in higher education and healthcare practices. This study aimed to investigate the level of digital competence, views and experiences, social media usage, and perceived barriers to digital communication among healthcare students. Method: Employing a mixed-methods approach, quantitative data were gathered through an online survey, while qualitative insights were gleaned from semi-structured questionnaire responses obtained during focus group discussions. A total of 143 nursing and midwifery students from Turkey, along with 54 dietetics students from various European countries, participated in the study. Results: A significant proportion of nursing (43.5%) and midwifery (55.2%) students advocated for integrating digital technology training into university curricula. Instagram has emerged as the predominant platform for sharing healthcare/nutrition information among students. However, concerns have been raised regarding the prevalence of “before/after” posts on social media promoting weight loss, which were identified as low-quality content by participants. Conclusions: These findings underscore the importance of integrating digital technologies and social media into healthcare, nutrition education, and practice. Additionally, there is a pressing need to establish professional and ethical standards for digital nutritional communication. By addressing these challenges, educators can better equip healthcare students to navigate the complexities of modern healthcare practices and enhance patient-care outcomes.

In parallel, healthcare and dietetic practice through telemedicine/telenutriton, hospital-at-home programs, and remote patient monitoring devices also moved to virtual (Cerrato & Halamka, 2021;Farid, 2020).…”

Covid-19 pandemic leads to a significant digital transformation on higher education and healthcare practices. This study aimed to investigate the level of digital competences, views and experience, social media usage and perceived barriers of digital commination for healthcare students, using a mixed method approach. One hundred and forty-three nursing and midwifery students from Amasya University (Turkey) and 54 dietetics students from European countries participated. The majority of nursing (43.5%) and midwifery (55.2%) students stated that “students should receive training at university about digital technologies in healthcare practice”. Instagram was the most frequently used social media communication channels to share healthcare/nutrition information. “Before/after posts” in social media to encourage weight loss were identified as low-quality posts by the students. Incorporating digital technologies and social media into healthcare/nutrition teaching and practice and establishing professional and ethical standards for digital nutrition communication is necessary.
