The Impact

<p>The impact of social influences on food choices in college settings is of great importance because students are vulnerable to new forming identities at this time. The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the degree to which social influences impact food choices in a sample of college students. A 22-item survey instrument was created to determine the extent to which students have experienced being influenced by others when making food related purchasing decisions. A total of 257 out of a 323 students invited (80% response rate) in 11 sections of a personal health course responded to the survey. The overwhelming majority of respondents were reportedly comfortable ordering whatever they wanted when in the presence of their friends (n=249; 97%). Students were more likely to feel pressure to make a healthy choice than an unhealthy choice if everyone else was (45.1% vs. 31.5%), but fewer felt this way when asked specifically if their friends were ordering (28.4% vs. 21%). Social influences surrounding food choices are a topic that has gained momentum recently, however more research needs to be conducted to determine the reasons why social influences affect certain college students especially in comparing healthy versus unhealthy food choices.</p>

The article deals with the practical implementation of competence approach in the educational process of medical educational institutions. The course of hygiene is of particular importance for the formation of medical and preventive competences of physicians of all specialties, as it affects a significant number of issues relating to the conservation and strengthening of public and personal health. The aim of this work is to analyze the research activities of medical students from the standpoint of forming of their health saving competence. Survey of 677 medical students of Moscow on various aspects of their lifestyle was conducted with the use of Google online survey forms. Work on the principle «equal to equal», when students conduct such research among their colleagues, is psychologically more comfortable for young people. Independent carrying out by students of a full cycle of scientific research is one of the ways to form the competences necessary for a future doctor. The consistency of the results obtained in a student research papers with those of other authors gives grounds for revising the number of training programs of higher medical education in order to fill them with practical content, contributing to the formation of medical and preventive competences of physicians of all specialties.

Background. Lifestyle behaviors have a significant effect on preventing and treating disease, yet there is minimal graduate medical training in lifestyle medicine (LM). LM stakeholders’ perspectives regarding components of a LM fellowship have been examined. However, the student perspective has not been studied. Methods. A cross-sectional study design analyzed medical student perceptions surrounding LM domains and educational experiences. A Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance and a Wilcoxon Rank-Sum Test were performed for each topic. Results. In all, 21 medical students completed the survey. All domains (nutrition, physical activity, behavior change, stress resiliency, and personal health), except smoking cessation, were rated as important or very important by at least 75% of the respondents (P = .002). The 4 highest-rated educational experiences, by at least 69% of respondents, included developing LM interventions and health promotion programs, clinical experiences, and teaching other health care providers about LM. Significant differences overall were found among the educational experiences (P = .005), with research and fund raising considered the least important. Conclusions. Medical students felt strongly about including nutrition, physical activity, behavior change, personal health, and stress resiliency as part of a LM fellowship curriculum. There was significantly less interest in smoking cessation. Desired experiences of students focused on delivery of LM.
