RESUMO
Objective To know the status of nutrition education of community medical staff and analyze its association with nutrition intervention consciousness and behaviors.Methods Three representative districts including Xiacheng,Gongshu and Westlake were selected and 846 community medical staff was involved in this study.Questionnaire investigation was applied to collect the information from mainly three aspects including training,consciousness and practice.Logistic stepwise regression analysis and Cochran -Mantel -Haenszel test were used.Results Most of the community medical staff was female (78.49%).78.95% of the staff had received the training of nutrition knowledge and its main influencing factor was working time.The Association was observed between the nutrition training and the preparation of nutrition consultation. The more training received,the higher self -assessment would be (P <0.05 ).Meanwhile,as the types of training increased,the awareness and attitude of medical staff was improved remarkably,such as knowing risks of unhealthy dietary,asking the dietary habit of the patients routinely,and advising patients to establish a good dietary habit to their children (all P <0.05 ).Nutrition training also had a positive association with nutrition intervention behavior ,such as implementing more measurement of blood pressure, weight, and blood cholesterol for community outpatients, communicating with them in the importance of balanced diet and proper nutrition,and giving weight loss suggestion to obese patients (all P <0.05).Conclusion Training on nutrition knowledge and intervention skills of community medical staff should be emphasized and reinforced in the future,in order to promote the effect on chronic diseases prevention of community -based intervention strategies.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effect of workplace intervention programs related with health-promoting lifestyles among community medical staff members in the communities of Hangzhou city.Methods Three representative districts including Xiacheng,Gongshu and Westlake were chosen and all the community medical staff was involved in the study.Questionnaire survey was applied to collect the information from all the community medical staff.Three aspects including 1,environmental support and policies on healthy lifestyles 2,lectures and activities related to healthpromoting programs provided,and 3,peer effect on health promotion,were studied.Chi square test and logistic stepwise regression analysis were applied.Results Intervention strategies on smoking,diet and physical exercises were analyzed respectively.It was indicated that none of the lectures,regulations or individual counseling regarding smoking cessation was associated with the decrease of smoking behavior.Medical staff that taking part in the lectures on balanced diet showed higher frequencies of vegetable/fruit intake,with the frequencies of vegetables/fruits consumption on 4 or more days/per week appeared 1.74 times more than that in the control group.As for the physical exercise intervention was concerned,the peer effect was found to be obvious.Medical staff that taking exercise with colleagues tended to do more exercises with frequency in taking moderate or high intensity exercises 5 or more days/per week as 1.62 times than that of the control group.Data also indicated that regardless of intervention programs on diet or on physical activities,the combination effect could statistically improve the healthy behavior on diet or physical exercise.Conclusion Intervention programs on both balanced diet and physical exercises were preliminarily found to be associated with enhanced health promotion behavior for workplace health promotion strategies but need to be verified through further intervention studies of the same sort.
