Objective: to describe the prevalence and reasons for omission of nursing care, according to the perception of nursing professionals working in a teaching hospital. Method: a cross-sectional study was carried out with 267 professionals from ten hospitalization units. Data were collected by the MISSCARE-Brasil instrument. Descriptive statistics and Pearson’s Chi-square or Fisher’s exact tests were used to compare differences in the prevalence of omission among professional categories. Results: among the elements of nursing care, the highest prevalence of omission consisted in: to sit up the patient out of bed (70.3%), ambulation three times a day (69.1%), and participation in the discussion of the interdisciplinary team on patient’s health care (67.2%). The most frequent reasons were: inadequate number of staff (85.4%), inadequate number of staff for providing care or in administrative tasks (81.6%), and unexpected increase in the number and/or greater severity of patients (79.8%). Nurses reported major omission than nursing technicians/auxiliaries in four elements of care (p<0.05). Conclusion: according to our study, there is high prevalence of omission of nursing care elements from the professionals’ perspective. Factors related to human and material resources were more reported as causes for such omission.

Abstract- We aimed to define Metabolic Syndrome (METs) from different viewpoints to determine the most appropriate method that could be used for early METs' diagnosis in general population and treat them immediately. This study was an analytic cross-sectional study which was conducted on 725, twelve year-old-girls and boys from Rasht city in Iran. METs was defined based on 7 different methods. Data were reported by descriptive statistics (number, percent, mean, and standard deviation) and analyzed by Cohen's kappa coefficient correlation and chi-square in SPSS version 19. The highest and lowest percentages of METs were obtained by DE Ferranti (17.5%) and viner et al., (0.8%) methods, respectively. Results showed that viner et al., had the highest degree of agreement with NCEP ATPIII and the lowest with DE Ferranti. Furthermore, De Ferranti showed the highest degree of agreement with NHANESIII and the lowest with Viner et al., According to results, the identification of the cut off points of obesity could help to promote public health care.

Background. The aims were to characterize the prevalence of hypertension (HTN) and explore its associations in the northern mountainous. Methods. We carried out a cross-sectional study in two communes in Chiem Hoa district, Tuyen Quang province, between June and November 2017. All subjects at the age of 18 years and over currently living in two communes. The usage of the descriptive statistics was to characterize the HTN prevalence. We used the univariate and multivariate models of logistic regression to determine the prevalence and related factors of HTN. Results. There were 319 people with overall HTN in the total of 675 participants. Among people with HTN, there were 101 ones with isolated systolic hypertension (ISH). The proportion of HTN among the Tay ethnic group was 47.6%. The factors related to HTN included group, body mass index (BMI), low physical fitness, and waist-hip ratio (WHR). These factors as well as the ethnicity were significantly associated with ISH. Conclusions. Two communes of Chiem Hoa district in Tuyen Quang province had a high prevalence of HTN. Age, BMI, WHR, and physical activity were the risk factors of overall HTN and ISH. In particular, ISH was affected by ethnicity.

Energy drinks are becoming increasingly popular in India. There is a need to understand the extent of consumption and perceptions among consumers. There are no studies in India in this direction. This study aimed to assess the perceptions and practices related to consumption of energy drinks among consumers. A cross-sectional study was conducted among students (n=132) and employed persons (n=48) of 13–40 yrs age, who were purposively selected using snowballing technique. Only those who have ever consumed energy drinks were included as subjects. Those consuming at least twice a month were categorized as frequent consumers. A pretested and pre-coded questionnaire with open-ended (5) and closed-ended questions (26) was administered in interview mode. Descriptive statistics and chi-square test were used for analysis. Frequent consumers were more among students (47%) than in working group (14.6%). Significantly (p&lt;0.05) higher number of participants from high socio-economic groups (71%) reported higher consumption of energy drinks than their middle and low-income counterparts. A majority (53.3%) were introduced to energy drinks by their peers. Participants mostly consumed energy drinks when hanging-out with friends (56.1%), during parties (43.3%), when they feel tired (36.1%) and during performance (28.8%). Consumers were using energy drinks for taste (64.4%), flavour (60.6%), and to feel energetic (57.2%). Frequent consumers (53.3%) assume that energy drinks give extra energy. Considering that there are hardly any studies in India in this direction, the study provides information that even frequent consumers of energy drinks were unaware that energy drinks are caffeinated beverages and their knowledge about health benefits/effects was varied and scanty. Most of them perceive that energy drinks provide ‘extra energy’ and are ‘beneficial’ to health. This myth should be dispelled.

Abstract The aim of this study was to verify sleep hours and associated factors among Brazilian and Spanish students. A cross-sectional study with students aged 11 to 16 years-old was carried out in Paranavaí, Brasil (n = 264) and Cáceres, Spain (n = 233) between 2013 and 2015. Sleeping hours were verified regarding time in minutes, sleep in weekdays, weekends and after lunch/Siesta. All data were checked for normality by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-square test (X2) and Odds Ratio estimates were used (p < 0.05). High prevalence in both groups of sleeping 8 hours or more a night at the weekend. The prevalence of sleeping on weekdays, > 8 hours, 6 to 8 hours and < 6 hours among Spanish and Brazilian students, respectively. Nearly a quarter of each group responded that makes the siesta. Spanish students had 3 times higher chance to sleep < 8 hours a night in weekdays, among students from 14 to 16 years old and among the underactive. At the weekends the chance of sleeping < 8 hours is 2 times greater among the Spanish students. Simple guidelines could help so that sleep habits do not affect school development, such as practicing physical activity regularly, sleeping at least 8 hours a night, avoid excessive access to technology at night.

AbstractBackgroundMalaria still remains a major killer of children under-five, claiming the life of one child every two minutes globally. More than 78% of deaths among children under-five in Africa are as a result of malaria infection. Despite the several interventions to reduce malaria and anaemia, the disease remains a global public concern as more children continue to die. This study assessed the prevalence and trend of malaria and anaemia in children under-five years from 2012 to 2016.MethodsWe conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study among children under-five with malaria and anaemia who received care at the hospital in Jasikan town, Ghana from 2012 to 2016. Data were extracted from the children’s ward admission and discharge registers. We computed descriptive statistics to describe the data. STATA version 14 was used to carry out the analyses.ResultsOut of 30082 malaria cases, 835 were with anaemia from 2012 to 2016. This study demonstrated an overall proportion of malaria with anaemia as 0.028 (28 per 1000 malaria cases). Year 2014 recorded the highest proportion (38 per 1,000 malaria cases) of malaria with anaemia cases in the district. Overall, prevalence rate of malaria and anaemia cases separately was found as 61.5% and 4.4% respectively from 2012-2016. Children within 24-35 months’ age group contributed the highest (28.3%) and 0-11 months accounted for the lowest (12.9%) malaria with anaemia cases. Majority of malaria with anaemia cases 531 (63.6%) occurred in the rainy season from June to July.ConclusionThere is a high prevalence of malaria with anaemia cases among children under-five from 2012-2016. Age and seasonal variation were found to be predictors of an increase in the prevalence of malaria with anaemia.

Distal Interphalangeal

Background:Distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint involvement is a feature of both psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and hand osteoarthritis (OA), and nail-changes are features seen both in PsA and nail psoriasis patients without joint involvement (PsO). In both PsA and OA, ultrasonography (US) is used to quantify DIP joint inflammation.Objectives:To explore disease-specific US-detected characteristics in the DIP-joints and extensor tendon entheses in patients with DIP-joint OA, PsA, PsO with nail involvement, and healthy controls (HC).Methods:In PsA, PsO, OA and HC US examination of DIP joints 2-5 and the extensor tendon were performed. The US images were scored for DIP joint grey-scale synovitis, DIP joint Doppler, osteophytes and erosions (grade 0-3) and presence/absence of enthesitis and peritendonitis of the extensor tendon according to OMERACT standards. Prevalences were calculated on all included fingers (i.e. four fingers per participant), and differences in prevalences were tested using Chi-square statistics.Results:Fifty PsA patients (44% females; mean age: 55y), 13 PsO patients (38% females; mean age 54y), 12 OA patients (100% females, mean age 71y), and 29 HC (52% females, mean age 48y) participated. The prevalences across the diagnosis groups are shown in figure 1, and the distribution of US outcomes was significantly different (highest Chi-square P-value: 0.0127). The PsA group had the largest prevalence of extensor tendon enthesitis (45.5%), peritendonitis (15%), and DIP joint erosions (11%), but also exhibited a considerable prevalence of osteophytes (46%). In the PsO group, the most marked findings were synovitis (33%) and enthesitis (35%). The OA group had the largest prevalence of DIP joint synovitis (67%) and osteophytes (88%) but also 25% prevalence of enthesitis. 24% of the HC group had a grade 1 synovitis.Conclusion:This cross-sectional study found significant patterns of US findings distributed dependent on the underlying condition. PsA patients were mainly differentiated by the presence of extensor tendon enthesitis and peritendonitis. A high prevalence of enthesitis and synovitis was seen in patients with DIP joint OA. The high prevalence of enthesitis in PsO is consistent with a preclinical phase of PsA in this group.Disclosure of Interests:Jørgen Guldberg-Møller Speakers bureau: Novartis, Ely Lilly, AbbVie, BK Ultrasound, Marius Henriksen: None declared, Mikael Boesen Speakers bureau: Image Analysis Group, AbbVie, AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, Esaote, Glenmark, Novartis, Pfizer, UCB, Lene Dreyer: None declared, Karen Ellegaard: None declared, Marie Skougaard: None declared, Christine Ballegaard: None declared, Ai Lyn Tan: None declared, Richard Wakefield Speakers bureau: Novartis, Janssen, GE, Lars Erik Kristensen Consultant of: UCB Pharma (Advisory Board), Sannofi (Advisory Board), Abbvie (Advisory Board), Biogen (Advisory Board), Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Amgen, Biogen, Bristol-Myers Squibb,Celgene, Eli Lilly, Gilead, Forward Pharma, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, MSD, Novartis, Pfizer, and UCB Pharma
