The Development of a Nutrition Education Program for Low-income Family Children by applying the Social Cognitive Theory and Health Belief Model / 대한지역사회영양학회지

OBJECTIVES: Based on individual and environmental characteristics of low-income children, we developed a nutrition education program for school-aged children from low-income families according to effective use in social welfare centers. METHODS: We conducted in-depth group interviews to assess program needs in 28 participants, 10 low-income school-aged children and 9 of their care givers, 9 social workers and 9 care-givers. Theoretical backgrounds of our program were heath belief model and social cognitive theory considering motivation, action and environment characteristics. RESULTS: Based on the findings of this qualitative study, we developed major program themes and contents. Five selected key themes were 'balanced diet', 'processed food', 'food hygiene and safety', 'Korean healthy traditional diet', and 'family cooking' to induce changes in dietary behaviors. Main findings of in-depth group interviews included 'child's active participation', 'simple and easy to understand messages', and 'environmental constraints' such as a lack of child care at home, limited budget of social welfare centers, and less qualified educators for nutrition and health. Each lesson was constructed as a 1-hour program particularly emphasizing activity-based programs, including cooking and teamwork exercises. Program contents in each session consisted of activities that could induce outcome and value expectations, self-efficacy, perceived benefits, and barriers and cues to actions regarding diet behavior. CONCLUSIONS: We developed a nutrition education programthat is rarely available for low-income children in Korea, considering theoretical bases. Further studies are needed to validate our program.

Research on doctor intention and patient demand of doctor-patient knowledge transfer based on cognition theory / 中华医院管理杂志

Objective To compare the differences between doctor knowledge transfer willingness and patient knowledge transfer demand,and propose matching behavior model of Doctor-Patient knowledge transfer.Methods Useing empirical analysis through questionnaire survey,tests and verities investigate data's reliability,validity.Significant test of the differences between doctor knowledge transfer willingness and patient knowledge transfer demand is conducted with ANOVA,and the detail relationship is conducted by comparison of the average values.Results Patient knowledge transfer demand is much higher than doctor knowledge transfer willingness.What' s more,this paper divides content of Doctor Patient knowledge transfer into four kinds:high doctor intention-high patient demand,high doctor intention-low patient demand,low doctor intention-high patient demand,low doctor intention-low patient demand.Conclusions Mismatching of doctor knowledge transfer willingness and patient knowledge transfer demand is the main reason of medical information asymmetry.Doctor-Patient knowledge transfer strategies are suggested based on the performance features of the four groups.
