Research progress of nutrition literacy assessment for children and adolescents / 中国学校卫生

Abstract@#Children and adolescents are at an important stage in the development of eating habits and food skills. Nutrition literacy is inseparable from healthy eating behaviors and higher nutritional quality, and improving nutrition literacy is an important pathway to better nutrition. The paper summarizes domestic and international research on nutrition literacy from the perspectives of definition and assessment tools in children and adolescents. It is found that there is no universal definition of nutritional literacy. Adult nutrition literacy or with appropriate adjustments are widely used in children and adolescents, without taking into account the unique developmental characteristics and nutritional needs of children and adolescents; the measurement tools of nutritional literacy are diverse, and there is no unified assessment tools, so it is difficult to compare and analyze research findings and draw reliable conclusions. In the future, authoritative definitions, and standardized evaluation tools are in great need.

Evaluating the Occupational Health and safety Engineering Internship Course from the Perspective of Trainees: At Developing and Validating A New Tool

@#Introduction: The internship course is a very important part of each university course. The present study aimed at designing and validating a standard instrument for evaluating the internship course in the field of Occupational Health and Safety Engineering (OHSE) from the perspective of trainees. Methods: The dimensions and items of the tool were developed using the panel of experts, syllabus provided by the Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education, and literature reviews. Validity of the tool was assessed using face validity, Content Validity Ratio (CVR), Content Validity Index (CVI), and Impact Score (IS). Reliability was evaluated by test–retest reliability analyses and internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha coefficient). Finally, the internship courses were evaluated during three subsequent years (2016-2018) among 45 students of Shahroud University of Medical Sciences (SHMU) in Iran. Results: The final version of the tool contained five dimensions and 20 items. The CVI and CVR were 0.81 and 0.74, respectively. The ISs of all 20 items were above the minimum acceptable value (1.5). The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.79 and test-retest Pearson’s correlation coefficient was significant at 0.891 (p<0.001). The overall mean score of evaluation was estimated to be 3.81, which was acceptable. However, poor mean scores were obtained in “access to equipment and laboratory instruments” and “familiarity with job opportunities and internship” dimensions. Conclusions: The results of this study led to a valid tool for evaluating the OHSE internship course. This standard tool can be used to evaluate the perspective of OHSE trainees about the training period and use the results to correct the weaknesses and reinforce the strengths of the training programs.

GENERACIÓN DE SEÑALES SIMULADAS DE ECG ABDOMINAL A PARTIR DE UN MODELO ABDOMINAL 3D / GENERATION OF SYNTHETIC ABDOMINAL ECG SIGNALS FROM AN ABDOMINAL 3D MODEL

El electrocardiograma abdominal es una técnica de monitoreo promisoria para la vigilancia en el periodo prenatal, ya que presenta facilidad de adquisición y permite la supervisión materna y fetal simultáneamente. La separación de estas señales es complicada y no existe una forma estandarizada de evaluar la efectividad de algoritmos reportados en la literatura. Basados en un modelo de dipolo propagado en el abdomen materno tridimensional, el presente trabajo propone la implementación de un sistema de generación de señales de ECG abdominal, con características controlables de simulación de condiciones reales: interferencias, variabilidad de periodos cardiacos, número de canales, ubicación de electrodos y posición fetal. Con el sistema desarrollado se generaron 50 señales sintéticas de prueba que mostraron una correlación de 0,99 con respecto a valores esperados en la relación señal-interferencia, sin diferencias significativas en la regresión (p>0.05); mientras que el coeficiente de correlación para la relación señal a ruido fue de 0.87 con diferencias significativas en la regresión por debajo de los -20 dB (p<0.05). En conclusión, el sistema propuesto proporciona señales de ECG abdominal con condiciones similares a las de señales reales, lo cual facilita la adecuada evaluación de algoritmos de separación de ECG materno y fetal a partir del ECG abdominal.

Abdominal ECG is one of the most promising monitoring techniques for fetal surveillance in the antenatal period, as it presents easy availability and allows the maternal and fetal monitoring simultaneously. However, separation of these signals is complicated and there is no standardized way to evaluate the effectiveness of separation algorithms reported in the literature. Based on the dipole model spread through the three-dimensional maternal abdomen, this paper proposes the implementation of a system for the generation of abdominal ECG signals with controllable characteristics simulating real conditions by interference, heart period variability, number of channels , electrodes location and fetal position. Using the developed system, 50 synthetic test signals were generated and compared with desired values. Results showed a correlation of 0.99 with respect to expected values in the signal interference ratio, with no significant differences in the regression (p>0.05); while the correlation coefficient was 0.87 for the signal to noise ratio, with significant differences below -20 dB (p<0.05) in the regression. In conclusion, the proposed system provides abdominal ECG signals showing similar conditions to those of real signals, and comprises a tool that ensures proper evaluation of separation algorithms of maternal and fetal ECG from abdominal ECG.
