RESUMO
Background@#Majority of recent deaths in the Philippines were attributed to noncommunicable diseases. While adequate consumption of fruits and vegetables can potentially decrease the burden of some of these noncommunicable diseases, health promotion and education interventions have also shown to increase the fruit and vegetable intake that will help prevent certain heart diseases and cancer.@*Objective@#This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a self-management intervention on psychosocial variables and fruit and vegetable intake (FVI) of public school teachers in Negros Oriental, Philippines.@*Methodology@#The study utilized the Solomon Four Group Design. The psychosocial variables were derived from Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory and Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behavior. FVI was measured using a food frequency questionnaire. An assessment of interaction between the intervention and pretest, group comparison tests, and nested ANOVA approach was performed.@*Results@#Teachers from 44 schools were included in the analysis; 112 were in the intervention group and 116 in the control group. Results indicate no significant interaction between treatment and pre-test group (F[1,224]=0.15, p=0.703) and no significant differences in the psychosocial variables scores and FVI of the intervention and control groups (p=>0.05). Significant findings in two of four psychosocial variables, particularly diet-related attitude (t=2.412, p=0.009) and knowledge regarding the recommended FVI (Fisher's exact test p=0.010), and mean FVI (t=1.898, p=0.031) were only found using data from the posttest-only intervention group who were able to attend the lecture-workshop and control group. Conclusion: The study found no evidence of pretest sensitization. There was insufficient evidence to conclude that there were differences in FVI and psychosocial variables of the intervention and control groups postintervention.

Objective To evaluate the effect of using"metronome"to guide chest compression in the new nurse training of cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR). Methods From 2015 to 2016,385 new nurses were enrolled and randomly by random number table divided into four groups based on Solomon four-group design:control group 1(96 nurses),sudy group 1(89 nurses),control group 2(104 nurses) and study group 2(96 nurses),Control group 1 and control group 2 accepted normal training plus "chest compressions operation formula" training,study group 1 and study group 2 got "metronome" guiding based on the frequency training.Control group 1 and study group 1 took a baseline test before the training started,while control group 2 and study group 2 didn't.Four groups took part in an operational test after the seven days of training. Results There was no statistical difference between the baseline test scores of control group 1 and study group 1(P>0.05).After the training,the score of study group 1 was 93.4±3.5, which was significantly higher than 91.6 ± 4.7 of control group 1(t=-2.870, P<0.01).Through covariance analysis,after removing the impact of the baseline test score,the score of study group was statistically significant higher than that of control group 1 (F=7.33, P=0.007).Furthermore,there was no statistically significant interaction between the baseline test score and training method (P>0.05).Meanwhile,after training,study group 2 scores was 93.5±3.5,which was statistically higher than 92.1±4.0 of control group 2(t=2.670,P=0.008).Control group 1 were combined with control 2 to form control group,as well as study group 1 with study group 2 to form study group.A comparison between these two new groups indicates that the new study group surpasses the new control group with lower error frequencies in the position,depth and frequency of external cardiac compression (t=4.701 8, 12.488 9, 11.993 9, P<0.05).In addition,the study group also showed a better performance, when taking into consideration of the region and skills of compression and the observation of complexion,while there was no statistical difference between the error frequencies in these three aspects of these two new groups(P>0.05). Conclusions In the CPR training of new nurses,using a 100 times/min"metronome"can help new nurses grasp the accurate compression rates and depth, improve the overall quality of this procedure,making it a simple and effective training method,which is worthy of popularization.
