ABSTRACT
Objective@#To analyze the effect of breakfast nutrition quality on the satiety among young white-collar workers.@*Methods@#A total of 278 subjects were recruited from two cities, Shenyang and Chongqing, in June 2015. The inclusion criteria: white-collar workers aged 25-45 years involved mainly in office work, who did not experience major changes, and individuals who should follow the study protocol and sign the informed consent form. The study employed a three-phase crossover design trial. Each participant received nutritional-adequate breakfast, nutritional-inadequate breakfast, and no breakfast treatment on the basis of assignment to one of three sequences. The breakfast time was once a week and then changed, all participants underwent the tests for three successive weeks. At last, we compared the effect of participants to consume different nutritional quality on satiety sense and hunger sense.@*Results@#A total of 232 participants completed three successive breakfast intervention studies, the age of participants was (35.2 ± 7.9) years, comprised of 48.7% male (n=113). The numbers of participants of aged 25-35 year-old and aged 36-45 were 118 and 114, respectively. Satiety scores of nutrition-adequate breakfast group, nutrition-inadequate breakfast group and no breakfast group were 63.5±14.7, 53.1±10.2 and 36.4±7.2, respectively (P<0.05). In nutrition-inadequate breakfast group and no breakfast group, male subjects scored significantly higher than female subjects (50.9±10.5 vs 46.6±9.4, 35.2±8.3 vs 31.8±5.4) (P<0.05). And, participants aged 25-35 year-old. got satiety score significantly higher than aged 36-45 (51.3±11.0 vs 45.6±12.1, 34.1±6.8 vs 32.5±7.9), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The scores of hunger in the group of nutrition-adequate breakfast, nutrition-inadequate breakfast and no breakfast were 26.3 ± 8.0, 35.1 ± 11.2 and 57.3 ± 17.0, respectively (P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#The nutrition quality of breakfast affects the satiety of young white-collar workers. The better the nutrition quality of breakfast is, the higher the satiety score and the lower the hunger score become. Compared with women and participants aged 36-45 year-old, men and those aged 25-35 year-old get satiety sense more easily.
ABSTRACT
Most of the current experiments are obsolete and verified,the students are not interested in and the experiments are out of touch with the actual work.These are the common problems in the experiment teaching of occupational health and occupational medicine.By taking the students who majored in preventive medicine as the subjects,this study aimed to explore the effects of independent designed experiment teaching mode,which was based on dividing the groups before class,choosing the projects by students themselves,deciding the design of the program via the discussion of teacher and students and doing the experimental reports and sharing the experience.The results showed that,in the premise of the preliminary master of the theory and basic skills of occupational health and occupational medicine,carrying out independent designed experiments in the last three weeks of semester,to a certain extent,could arouse students' interest in learning,cultivate their abilities of independent thinking,practice,problem analysis and solution,and team cooperation.However,restricted by lack of teachers,inadequate equipment and high cost and other factors,this teaching mode is only suitable for small class.
ABSTRACT
There have been many studies that evidence the health hazards of sunlight exposure, but less study on sun safe intervention model, especially in China. Our aim was to evaluate the cognitive and behavioral effects of a peer education model-based intervention to sun safe in children. Cluster random control intervention was conducted in one district in Chongqing, China. Two primary schools, selected through stratified clustered sampling approach [two grades in each school, three classes in each grade] were designated as intervention [n=304] and control schools [n=305] randomly. 36 students, selected as peer educators in intervention group, were trained for one month. Educational activities such as discussions were organized by peer educator for one month. There was no sun safe education to participants in control school during the project period. The evaluation of changes of sun safe knowledge [the primary outcome], attitude and behavior [the secondary outcome measures] were conducted before intervention and at months of 0, 1 and 6 of the intervention to two groups using quantitative and qualitative methods. After the intervention, sun safe knowledge score which gained by the students from intervention group has been remarkably improved, compared to baseline survey [24.48 +/- 6.17 vs. 29.51 +/- 6.75] [P<0.001], and it kept this high level [29.02 +/- 7.96 and. 28.65 +/- 8.96], while control group students' scores have made no difference [P=0.410]. Most of students have changed their sun safe behavior after the intervention. Peer education program is somewhat effective in some dimensions for improving children's understanding of sun safe knowledge and behavior
ABSTRACT
Practicing and learning platform was preliminary established by teachers to explore the feasibility and availability of ‘ interest-oriented research team’ in promoting professional competence among public health students.Public health students interested in interest-oriented research were recruited.Through this platform,students can learn professional knowledge and conduct practice earlier and complete their study facing the society,community and public.After four years' practice and exploration,students indeed improved the abilities of researching and practicing,therefore,the training model of ‘interest-oriented research team’ needs promoting.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the health knowledge,and behavior of patients with diabetes,and the main factors affecting those aspects.Methods:A total of 102 diabetic patient were investigated with questionnaire covering knowledge,and behavior.Results:The health knowledge of the patients was partial and the behavior of the patients was not actualized ideally.The education received and times for attending the healthy lectures were the main factors affecting the knowledge and behavior.Conclusion:Comprehensive and systematic education is the valid way to advance the knowledge and improve the behavior.
