Unhealthy Eating

The promotion of children’s healthy eating is a key public health priority. However, children’s food consumption is a complex phenomenon with several contributing factors, and there is a call to continue developing comprehensive models with several variables acting simultaneously. The present study aimed to examine the role different motivational-related variables (e.g., self-regulation, self-efficacy) may play in children’s consumption of healthy and unhealthy foods. To address this goal, data were collected in a sample of 242 fifth and sixth graders with access to both healthy and unhealthy foods at home. A path model was conducted to analyze networks of relationships between motivational-related variables and children’s healthy and unhealthy eating. The gender variable was included as a covariate to control its effect. The data showed that self-regulation for healthy eating mediates the relationship between the predictor variables (i.e., knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy) and the type of food consumption (healthy and unhealthy). Current data contribute to understanding the complexity behind food consumption by providing a comprehensive model with motivational-related factors associated with both healthy and unhealthy eating. The present findings are likely to help inform the development of early preventive interventions focused on the promotion of healthy eating.

Purpose – The aim of this paper is to study the extent of change in parents' fruit and vegetable consumption during a period when their children participate in a school-based healthy eating intervention. Design/methodology/approach – A total of 256 12-year-old Danish schoolchildren took part in a text-message feedback intervention promoting fruit and vegetable consumption. One parent of each child filled out self-administered questionnaires at three points during the 40-week study period. In the questionnaire, stated consumption, perceived influence factors on their consumption and self-efficacy and self-regulation were measured. Findings – Only half of the parents stated that they met the “five a day” target. These parents reported good availability of fruit and vegetables in their household, high consumption among their friends and frequent exercise and they were characterised by high self-efficacy levels. Stated consumption increased during the period of the intervention targeted at their children. Parents that reported an increase had, at the start of the intervention, reported low levels of consumption, lack of encouragement to eat healthy at their workplace and lower autonomous self-regulation. Research limitations/implications – The consumption data is limited to self-report. Practical implications – The results indicate that parents can be influenced indirectly by school-based interventions targeted at their children. Future interventions should include the family with the intent to support positive interaction that might further promote and sustain healthy eating habits. Originality/value – The study considers the possible effects school interventions targeting children may have on the immediate family, an aspect generally overlooked in school-based health initiatives.

Tuberculosis Multidrugs Resistance (TB-MDR) merupakan masalah serius di Indonesia. Selain memiliki risiko penularan yang tinggi, TB-MDR mempunyai banyak hambatan dalam pengobatan, baik lama pengobatan, jumlah obat yang banyak, dan efek samping yang buruk. DHal ini menjadi penting mengidentifikasi perilaku pencegahan penularan pada pasien TB-MDR beserta faktor yang melatarbelakanginya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi perilaku penderita TB-MDR dalam mencegah penularan beserta faktor yang melatarbelakanginya. Penelitian deskriptif korelasional ini melibatkan seluruh pasien TB-MDR yang sedang menjalani pengobatan fase intensif hingga November 2014 di Rumah Sakit Hasan Sadikin sebanyak 61 orang. Data karakteristik responden, perilaku dan faktor-faktor yang melatarbelakanginya dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner. Data yang terkumpul dianalisis secara deskriptif dan dihubungkan satu sama lain (independent t-test, one way annova, dan Pearson Correlational test). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa lebih dari setengah responden berpendidikan SMA (54,1%), berjenis kelamin laki-laki (60,6%), tipe MDR gagal pengobatan kategori 1 & 2 (60,7%), berusia < 44 tahun (68,9%), sebagian besar menikah (75,4%) dan berpenghasilan di bawah UMR (81,9%), serta mengeluhkan efek samping berupa mual (90,1%). Lebih dari setengah responden (57,4%) melaporkan perilaku pencegahan penularan yang baik. Perilaku pencegahan penularan ditemukan berhubungan secara bermakna dengan jenis kelamin (p = 0,01), perceived benefit (p = 0,02), cues to action (p = 0,00), dan self efficacy (p = 0,006). Akan tetapi, tidak ditemukan adanya hubungan yang bermakna antara perilaku pencegahan dengan data demografi (usia, satatus pernikahan, tingkat pendidikan, dan penghasilan) maupun tipe MDR (p>0,05). Hal ini menjadi penting bagi tenaga kesehatan untuk memperkuat faktor tersebut sebagai upaya meningkatkan perilaku pencegahan transmisi/penularan TB.Kata kunci: Faktor, pencegahan penularan, TB-MDR. Prevention Behaviors and Its’ Contributing Factors among Patients with Multi-drugs Resistance Tuberculosis (MDR-TB)AbstractMulti-drugs Resistance Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a serious health problem in Indonesia. Beside the risk of transmission, the treatment of MDR-TB encounters some obstacles namely lengthy medication, multiple drugs and adverse side effects. Therefore, it is important to identify patients’ prevention behaviors and its contributing factors. This study was aimed to identify MDR-TB patients’ prevention behaviors and its’ contributing factors. This descriptive correlational study involved all (61 patients) of MDR-TB patients who received intensive medication until November 2014 in Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital. Demographic and health characteristics data, as well as behaviors and its related factors were collected using questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive analyses and correlational test (independent t-test, one way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation test). The results showed that more than half of respondents were male (60.6%), MDR with failed medication type 1 & 2 (60.7%), age less than 44 years old (68.9%), mostly married (75.4%), had income less than minimum standard (81.9%), and experienced nausea as the medication’s side effect (90.1%). Additionally, more than half of respondents (57.4%) reported good prevention behaviors. These behaviors significantly related to female gender (p = 0.01), perceived benefit (p = 0.02), cues to action (p = 0.000), and self-efficacy (p = 0.006). However, there was not any significant relationship between the prevention behaviors and demographic data (age, educational level, marital status, and income) or between the behaviors and patients’ medication categories (p > 0.05). Generally, MDR-TB patients in this study performed good preventive behaviors and it was related to their perceived benefit, cues to action, and self-efficacy. Therefore, it is important for healthcare professional to empower these identified factors in order to minimize the MDR-TB transmission.Key words: Factors, MDR-TB, prevention behaviors.

Purpose Healthy eating behaviour in adolescence may be negatively affected by lack of self-regulation. The purpose of this paper is to discuss strategies for regulating eating behaviour as formulated by adolescents themselves. Design/methodology/approach Self-regulatory strategies were elicited with concept mapping, which is a group-based method. Three meetings were conducted with each of four school classes in Denmark. Participants in the 12-15-year age group were recruited for the study. At the first meeting, participants had to complete the phrase “Things I can do to ensure my healthy eating are: […]”. At the second meeting, participants had to group the statements. At the third meeting, the results were discussed with participants. Findings The results suggest that adolescents’ knowledge about healthy and unhealthy eating is in line with the official guidelines provided by health organisations. Adolescents made 142 statements about things they could do to ensure healthy eating; the statements were grouped by adolescents, and 12 strategies were formulated: following nutrition recommendations, developing own rules, making healthy deals with oneself, ensuring the right balance and regularity of food intake, awareness: remember to eat healthy, thinking of consequences, good advice for shopping and cooking, seeking help from parents, influencing family and others, avoiding temptations, replacing unhealthy food with a healthier option and reducing the amounts of unhealthy food in diet. Practical implications Focusing on improving adolescents’ self-regulatory skills in the domain of eating behaviour is a promising approach in developing future interventions. Originality/value The present article explores self-regulatory strategies for eating behaviour in adolescence and discusses their relevance.

The Genome-based Mexican (GENOMEX) diet is a strategy for preventing and managing obesity. Emotion and eating behavior in the context of a nutrigenetic intervention have not been thoroughly studied. We aimed to explore the influence of the GENOMEX diet on emotions, self-efficacy, and rewarding behaviors in unhealthy eating among subjects with risk factors for obesity-related chronic diseases. Twenty-eight subjects included in the six-month GENOMEX intervention answered questions regarding emotions that influence food consumption. Additionally, the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and the Reward-based eating drive scale (RED) were applied. In the study, minimal, mild, moderate, and severe depression were present in 46.4%, 39.3%, 10.7%, and 3.6%, respectively. RED did not change, but it correlated with a higher intake of fats (r2 = 0.684, β = 2.066, p = 0.003). Mood influenced unhealthy eating in 71.7% of subjects, and 76.9% experienced binge episodes triggered by anxiety. Sugars were the most consumed foods during binge episodes (42.2%). Both low self-efficacy levels and binge episodes were associated with high consumption of unhealthy foods. After the intervention, 10.7% of subjects reported a high level of self-efficacy. In conclusion, a culturally acceptable and genetically compatible regional Mexican food diet reduced negative emotions and unhealthy eating while increasing self-efficacy.

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.
