Systematic Development

ObjectivesThis article describes (1) the systematic development of the intervention and (2) the assessment of its feasibility (in terms of relevancy, suitability, satisfaction and added value).MethodsThe intervention was developed based on the first four steps of the Intervention Mapping and Knowledge Transfer Scheme processes. Subsequently, a qualitative research based on a one-group post-test cross-sectional design was conducted. Eight retired professional footballers underwent the developed intervention and its feasibility (operationalised in relevancy, suitability, satisfaction and added value) was assessed by means of a questionnaire and interview.ResultsAn After Career Consultation (ACC) was developed with a focus on five main domains: (1) detraining from professional football; (2) remission of osteoarthritis; (3) promotion of healthy lifestyle; (4) preventing mental and cognitive health problems; and (5) employment and education. The ACC relies on three components: (1) raising self-awareness about potential physical, mental and social health problems after a career in professional football; (2) medical examination (60 min) with thorough medical history and general physical examination; and (3) follow-up during 3 months (if necessary) about optimal skills and strategies to empower physical, mental and social health and quality of life. The relevancy, suitability, satisfaction and added value of the ACC were positively evaluated by the retired professional footballers.ConclusionThe ACC was developed with a focus on five main health-related domains. The feasibility of the ACC was positively assessed by retired professional footballers, while the suggestion was made to repeat the ACC in the initial years after football retirement.

Abstract Background 20 to 30% of university students consistently report attention-related health problems (studenthealthcheck), such as depression, a less healthy lifestyle (e.g. alcohol/ drugs, sleep, etc.) or adhd. Students are healthcare avoiders and as such ideal candidates for eHealth. To sort out their attention problems, increase their knowledge and guide them to solutions, howtostayfocused.org/ has to be scientifically evaluated. Methods A qualitative study was conducted in 2019 at the Student Health Service of the UvA. A prototype eTool and interview guide were developed in accordance with CeHRes, contextual background and value specifications for attention-related issues. Semi-structured cognitive interviews were administered to students before, during and after completion of the Etool (i.e. think aloud method) (N = 9; 5 female; mean age 23.5) concerning its' system, content and service quality. (audio recorded, transcribed verbatim and thematically analyzed). Results They were triggered to conduct the test and appreciated the personal advice that advanced the acceptance and confirmation of their complaints. the system: User-friendliness, lay out and abundance of information were appreciated. Improvements included technical errors, too much text provision, low visualizations, unclear navigation.the content: Although appreciative of the content, improvements included experience stories, study tips, information clarity.the service quality: Self-sufficiency has added value. (perceived usefulness) Soon after the launch of the eTool, it was used about 1000 times. Conclusions An eTool to address, clarify and analyze attention-related health problems among university students is considered of added value to meet their self-sufficient ways. They appreciated the personal advice from the test for the acceptance and confirmation of their attentional complaints. These results are of value for the development of other health-related web-based innovations for students. Key messages eHealth is a suitable way to address (attention-related) health problems that are common in university students, who are typically healthcare avoiding. The eTool contributes to prevention in the sense that university students may identify their attention-related health problems at an earlier stage and prevent aggravation of their complaints.

Major Health Problem

Obesity is considered to be a major health problem throughout the world. Factors contributing to obesity include increased intake of calorie dense foods and physical inactivity. Teachers represent one of the most important, large and growing sector of workforce in many countries. The objective of the present study was to determine risk of obesity among female school teachers along with various factors and health problems associated with it. A descriptive cum cross-sectional survey was conducted among 500 female school teachers. Anthropometric measurements such as height, body weight and waist circumference were measured. BMI was calculated and blood pressure was recorded. Results indicated that 43.2% of the teachers had Grade I obesity, 20.4% had Grade II obesity and 6.6% had Grade III obesity thereby indicating obesity as a significant health problem among teachers. Factors such as age, waist circumference, intake of junk foods, physical inactivity and BMI were significantly associated with obesity. In addition, health issues such as hypertension and arthritis was also found to be associated with obesity. The study therefore recommends the need to promote healthy lifestyle for school teachers that can be achieved through appropriate health education and interventional measures.

Background: Nursing educators should train nursing students to pursue physical, psychological, spiritual, and social health promotion. The purpose of this study was to explore relationships between nursing students’ meaning of life, positive beliefs, and well-being. Methods: A cross-sectional correlational study with a quantitative approach was adopted. Purposive sampling was used. A total of 170 nursing students voluntarily participated in this study. A 56-item questionnaire was used to examine nursing students’ meaning of life (1-25 items), positive beliefs (1-11 items), and well-being (1-20 items). The content validity index (CVI) of the study questionnaire was established as 0.95 by seven expert scholars. The reliability values for the three parts of the measure were as follows: meaning of life, Cronbach’s α 0.96; positive beliefs, Cronbach’s α 0.93; and well-being, Cronbach’s α 0.95. Percentages, frequencies, means, SDs, Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance by rank, Spearman’s rank correlation, one-way analysis of variance, Spearman’s rho correlation, and regression analysis were used for the data analysis. Results: Nursing students had the following mean scores: meaning of life with 4.02 (SD 0.56); positive beliefs with 3.92 (SD 0.62); and well-being with 3.95 (SD 0.57). The results indicate that for all nursing students, meaning of life was positively correlated with positive beliefs, r=0.83 (P<.01); similarly, all nursing students had positive beliefs that were positively correlated with meaning of life, r=0.83 (P<.01). In the results of the study, the nursing students’ background, meaning of life and positive beliefs explained 63% of the variance in well-being (Adjusted R2 squared =0.63, F=33.41, P<.001). Conclusions: Nursing students’ sense of meaning of life and positive beliefs may impact their well-being. Therefore, nursing educators can promote meaning of life and positive beliefs to nursing students as a way to increase their well-being for physical, psychological, spiritual, and social health promotion.

Family Types

In Africa, the structure of the family is changing rapidly. The effects of this change on mental health remain unknown. This study investigated the extent to which different family types (intact, single-mother, and multiple) predict mental health problems in young adults in Botswana (N = 264, mean age = 21.31, SD = 2.40). In a cross-sectional design, the study sampled students registered at various faculties at the University of Botswana. The revised symptoms checklist (SCL-90-R) was used to assess symptoms of mental health problems (depression, anxiety and hostility). Binary logistic regression analyses were performed to obtain odds ratios (ORs) and 95 per cent confidence intervals (CIs) of mental health problems for mother-only and multiple family types relative to the intact family type. Compared to the intact family type, single-mother (OR = 2.34; 95% CI: 1.21, 4.51) and multiple family types (OR = 1.56; CI: 0.88, 2.78) were associated with an increased risk of depression. For anxiety, the ORs were 2.27 (CI: 1.18, 4.38) and 1.10 (CI: 0.56, 1.82) for single-mother and multiple family types respectively. For hostility, the ORs were 2.60 (CI: 1.34, 5.04), and 0.79 (CI: 0.44, 1.42) for single-mother and multiple family types, respectively. Family types predict mental health problems in young adults and therefore the interventions to mitigate the effects should consider family backgrounds and the ramifications of family types for treatment and care.
