Abstract Objectives The objective of this study was to develop self-efficacy scale for “combining the five types of food groups” for fifth and six grade children in sports clubs and their parents. Methods This was cross-sectional study. The subjects were one hundred fifth and sixth grade Japanese boys who belonged to two soccer clubs and their parents. Children assessed their dietary consumption for a week, and both children and parents examined self-efficacy about “combining the five types of food groups”. Dietary consumption was based on the five types of food groups, that is “shushoku(grains)”, “shusai(protein)”, ” hukusai(vegetables)”, fruit, dairy. Six and seven self-efficacy items were set for children and their parents. Each response was rated on a five-point Likert scale. Players were asked the following question: “How sure are you that you eat a meal that combines the five food groups in the following situations?” There were 6 responses. Parents were asked the following question: “How sure are you that you always prepare a meal that combines the five food groups for your children in the following situations?” There were 7 response items. Results No items had a bias score of more than 50% in the sports players, and three items were excluded in the analysis of the parents. Result of the exploratory factor analysis, four items were selected for players and four for their parents. Self-efficacy scores were Cronbach's alpha scores were 0.77 for players and 0.81 for their parents, which confirms sufficient reliability. The number of answers for the selected self-efficacy items were totaled as self-efficacy scores. Children's self-efficacy scores were significantly associated with “hukusai”. Parents’ self-efficacy scores were significantly all types of food. Conclusions These findings suggest that self-efficacy scale of combining five types of food groups could be evaluated for fifth and sixth grade children who belonged to soccer clubs and their parents.

Core Components

Objective: Reproducibility is a cornerstone of scientific advancement; however, many published works may lack the core components needed for study reproducibility. In this study, we evaluate the state of transparency and reproducibility in the field of Psychiatry.Methods: An observational, cross-sectional study design was used. From a random sample of 300 publications in PubMed-indexed psychiatry journals, two researchers extracted data in a duplicate and blinded fashion using a piloted Google Form. For this study, we included publications from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2018. The publications were evaluated for indicators of reproducibility and transparency, which included the availability of materials, data, protocol, analysis script, preregistration, open access, financial conflicts of interest, funding sources, and pre-registration in an online repository. Results: Our study identified 158 journals meeting the inclusion criteria and 90,281 publications from within the timeframe. Of the 300 randomly sampled, 4 were inaccessible, resulting in a final sample of 296 publications. Of the 296, only 107 (36%) were publically available online. Regarding reproducibility, 17 publications gave access to necessary materials, 4 provided an in-depth protocol, and 1 contained the raw data required to reproduce the outcomes.Conclusions: Currently, researchers in the field of Psychiatry do not adhere to practices that promote reproducibility and transparency. Change is therefore needed. This study presents a reference point for the state of reproducibility and transparency in psychiatry literature, and future assessments are recommended to evaluate progress.

Abstract Objectives The Healthy Food Palm (HFP) was developed based on the culture and eating habits of Saudi Arabians to preserve and enhance nutrient adequacy and improve health by emphasizing foods and food groups that attenuate the risk of chronic diseases. Limited work has been done to assess the diet quality of Saudi Arabians based on the HFP. Therefore, our objective was to assess adherence to the guidelines among Saudi Arabians. Methods A total of 612 Saudi males and females, aged 18 and above, were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Demographics and social eating practices were obtained using an online questionnaire. Anthropometric measurements including height, weight, and waist circumference of all participants were also obtained. We applied the HFP recommendations for intake of eight food groups using 24-hour dietary recall (24HDR) and developed a scoring system to assess the adherence of the participants to this dietary guideline. The scoring was based on those that met the guidelines (within recommended range) and those who did not meet the guidelines (below and above recommended range). Two 24HDR were initially obtained from the study subjects. However, only 248 (41%) completed the second 24-hour recall. Since the % agreement in adherence to the food groups for both recalls was high (77%), we used the first recall. Descriptive statistics were obtained for all socio-demographic factors, health characteristics, and the participants’ adherence to HFP. Results Our results showed that overall level of adherence to HFP is 26%. For the vegetables, dairy, fruits, grains, water, protein and sugar groups, the majority of participants reported intake below the recommended range (98%, 91%, 88%, 88%, 78%, 62% and 54% of subjects respectively). For the fat group, most subjects (98%) met the recommended intake. When compared to the males, the intake of females was lower than the recommended range. Other groups with intake lower than the recommended range were undergraduate students, single individuals, and those with a normal BMI. Conclusions In this study, the results show that Saudi Arabians do not adhere to HFP. Educational interventions should be planned to improve diet quality. Funding Sources No funding sources.

Food consumption survey is an essential parts of nutrition surveys. It helps to determine the type and quantity of food consumed, assessing the balance of the diet, the relationship between nutrient intake and health, diseases, and economic status, culture society... There are many methods to investigate food consumption. 24-hour food record is a method that record all food consumed by the subject during previous 24 hours. Using this method in chidren helps to assess the their diet to see if it responses the demand in order to have proper nutrition. Objectives: 1. Calculating the number of each food groups consumed within 24 hours of children 1 to 5 years in Phuoc Vinh ward, Hue City; 2. Assessing the quality of their diet and some related factors. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was implemented on 200 pairs of children aged 1 to 5 and parents or caregivers living in Phuoc Vinh ward, Hue city and some related factors. Results: 82% of the children’s diets covered 4 food groups. Prevalence of glucide, protein, lipide out of the total energy intake were 44.1%, 19.5%, 36.3% respectively within group of 12-<48 months and 50%, 19.5%, 30.6% respectively within group of 48-<72 months. Total energy and protein intake were higher than demanded (p <0.05) while glucide and lipide were lower than demanded (p <0.05). Economical status of family was significant associated with variety of food (all 4 food groups) in the diet of children (p <0.05) and total energy consumed (p <0.05). Conclusion: The children did not have proper nutrition so further research need to be implemented to have suitable interventions. Key words: 24 hours food records, children aged 1 to 5, Hue city.

Career adaptability is an important resource for dealing with career transitions such as the transition from university to work. Previous research emphasized the importance of focusing on career adapt-abilities instead only on general career adaptability. The aim of this research was to investigate whether career adaptability can be conceptualized as a bifactor model and whether general and specific dimensions of career adaptability have a relationship with job-search self-efficacy of graduates. In an online cross-sectional study, 667 graduates completed the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale and Job Search Skill and Confidence Scale. The CFA analysis showed that the bifactor model of career adaptability had a good fit where general factor explained most of the items’ variance. The SEM analysis revealed that general career adaptability and the specific factor of confidence positively correlated with job-search and interview performance self-efficacy. Control only correlated with interview performance self-efficacy. Neither concern nor curiosity showed a significant relationship with job-search and interview performance self-efficacy.

AbstractThe overarching objective of this study was to assess learning satisfaction among students and to determine whether online-learning self-efficacy was associated with online learning satisfaction during the emergency transition to remote learning. This cross-sectional study involved a survey distributed to 22 Saudi Arabian universities. The survey used in this study consisted of an online learning self-efficacy (OLSE) questionnaire and an electronic learning (e-learning) satisfaction questionnaire. A total of 1,226 respondents voluntarily participated in and completed the survey. Students in medical fields made up 289 (23.6%). A Kruskal–Wallis H test and a chi-square test were used to compare the student’s satisfaction based on the educational variables. Spearman’s correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were performed to assess the association between self-efficacy and satisfaction. The findings revealed degrees of satisfaction ranging between high satisfaction and dissatisfaction. The majority of students (51%) expressed high satisfaction, and 599 students (49%) reported experiencing a low level of satisfaction with e-learning. A comparison of groups with low and high satisfaction scores revealed a significant difference in the OLSE. High satisfaction was positively correlated with the OLSE domains: time management, technology, and learning. The OLSE regression analysis model significantly predicted satisfaction. It showed that the model, corrected for education level and grade point average of the students, significantly predicted e-learning satisfaction (F = 8.04, R2 = 0.59, p = .004). The study concluded that students’ satisfaction with the e-learning experience is influenced by e-learning self-efficacy. The study’s findings lead to the practical implications and identify the need to improve the remote learning, time management and technology self-efficacy to enhance students’ satisfaction.

Abstract A validation study of an interviewer-administered, seven-day semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (7-d SQFFQ) was conducted in Bangladeshi rural preschool age children. Using a cross-sectional study design, 105 children from 103 households were randomly selected. For the SQFFQ, a list of commonly consumed foods was adapted from the Bangladesh national micronutrient survey 2011–12. The data on the actual number of times and the amount of the children's consumption of the foods in the preceding 1 week were collected by interviewing the mothers. The intake was compared with two non-consecutive days 24-h dietary recalls conducted within 2 weeks after the SQFFQ. Validity was assessed by the standard statistical tests. After adjusting for the energy intake and de-attenuation for within-subject variation, the food groups (cereals, animal source foods, milk and the processed foods) had ‘good’ correlations between the methods (rho 0⋅65–0⋅93; P < 0⋅001). Similarly, the macronutrients (carbohydrate, protein and fats) had ‘good’ correlations (rho 0⋅50–0⋅75; P < 0⋅001) and the key micronutrients (iron, zinc, calcium, vitamin A, etc.) demonstrated ‘good’ correlations (rho 0⋅46–0⋅85; P < 0⋅001). The variation in classifying the two extreme quintiles by the SQFFQ and the 24-h recalls was <10 %. The results from Lin's concordance coefficients showed a ‘moderate’ to ‘excellent’ absolute agreement between the two methods for food groups, and nutrients (0⋅21–0⋅90; P < 0⋅001). This interviewer-administered, 7-d SQFFQ with an open-ended intake frequency demonstrated adequate validity to assess the dietary intake for most nutrients and suitable for dietary assessments of young children in Bangladesh.

To analyze the correlation between functional health literacy (FHL) and self-efficacy (SE) in people with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Cross-sectional study was conducted among September and October 2019, with 196 people with type 2 diabetes. Data were collected using the Functional Literacy in Health instrument (B-TOFHLA) and the Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale for Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DMSES). Bivariate analysis was used to verify the relationship among the constructs. Most diabetics showed an average B-TOFHLA score of 74.75, considered adequate, and self-efficacy of 4.07, high. The association between SE and FHL in the bivariate analysis found no statistical significance ( p > .05), in the same sense as the B-TOFHLA score and the DMSES domains ( p > .05). Constructs were not related to each other in terms of skills arising from judgments and decisions with motivational confidence by the investigated audience.

Abstract Rural communities have shown marked increase in metabolic syndrome among young people, with physical inactivity as one of the main contributing factors. This study aimed to determine factors associated with physical inactivity among male and female rural adolescents in a sample of schools in Malaysia. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 145 students aged 13–15 years. Data on socio-demographic, health-related, and psychosocial factors (perceived barriers, self-efficacy, social influences) were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Anthropometric measurement was taken to generate body mass index (BMI)-for-age, while physical activity (PA) level was assessed using pedometers. The mean steps per day was 6251.37 (SD=3085.31) with males reported as being more active. About 27% of the respondents were either overweight or obese, with more females in this group. There was no significant difference in steps among males and females (p=0.212), and nutritional status (BMI-for-age) (p=0.439). Females consistently scored higher in most items under perceived barriers, but had significantly lower scores in self-efficacy’s items. Males were more influenced by peers in terms of PA (p<0.001) and were more satisfied with their body parts (p=0.047). A significantly higher body size discrepancy score was found among females (p=0.034, CI –0.639, –0.026). PA level was low and almost one-third of the respondents were overweight and obese. Female students faced more barriers and had lower self-efficacy with regards PA. Based on the findings, it is recommended that interventions focus on reducing barriers while increasing support for PA. This is particularly important in improving the health status of the youth, especially among the females.
