Educational models of infant and young child feeding among prenatal and postnatal women during the COVID-19 pandemic (January 2020-January 2023): A scoping review.

Infant and young children feeding (IYCF) practices, particularly for infants and young children <2 y old, became increasingly challenging during the COVID-19 pandemic. Several studies have discussed various educational models in the pre-pandemic period, most of which were conducted in person. The last reviews on IYCF interventions were conducted in 2020 and were relevant to pre-pandemic contexts. Thus, there is a need to review IYCF interventions to inform educational models adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to describe the IYCF educational models proposed during the COVID-19 pandemic. For this relevant literature, we searched PubMed, SCOPUS, EBSCO, ProQuest, Sage Journals, and Wiley Online Library. Thirty-five literature sources were screened, and 7 data sources were included for data extraction and analysis. Many studies on the IYCF educational models focused on exclusive breastfeeding and early initiation of breastfeeding; there was only one study on complementary feeding, and no research was found on continued breastfeeding. Four studies found no significant differences in the intervention given. Three studies had a significant effect, one had in-person meetings, and two consisted of WhatsApp discussions. Most IYCF educational models from the pandemic context comprised online education, whereas WhatsApp was the most popular media used. Future researchers may develop these findings to design research on a larger scale and for a longer period, especially on complementary feeding and continued breastfeeding based on IYCF indicators.

Effect of Early Mobilization on Hip and Lower Extremity Postoperative: A Literature Review.

Introduction: The incidence of fracture and surgery of the hip and lower extremities is still high. Long postoperative bed rest can potentially increase the incidence of various complications that may increase patients' morbidity and mortality rate after hip and lower extremities surgery. This literature review aimed to identify the effects of early mobilization on hip and lower extremity postoperative. Methods: Search for articles on several databases such as ProQuest, ScienceDirect, CINAHL, Medline, Wiley Online, and Scopus, using the Boolean operator tools with "AND" and "OR" words by combining several keywords according to the literature review topic, with inclusion criteria of those published in the last three years (2019-2021), using a quantitative design, written in English and full-text articles. A total of 435 articles were obtained, screened, and reviewed so that there were 16 (sixteen) eligible articles. Results: There were 11 (eleven) effects of early mobilization, that is, shorter the length of stay, lower postoperative complication, lower the pain, increase walking ability, increase quality of life, decrease the rate of readmission, decrease mortality rate, lower the total hospitalization cost, higher number of physical therapy sessions prior to discharge, increase in satisfaction, and no fracture displacement or implant failure. Conclusion: This literature review showed that early mobilization is safe and effective in postoperative patients to reduce the risk of complications and adverse events. Nurses and health workers who care for patients can implement early mobilization and motivate patients to cooperate in undergoing early mobilization.

Health Professionals Perception of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery: A Scoping Review.

PURPOSE: The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program is currently poorly implemented by healthcare workers. Furthermore, several inhibiting and supporting factors for this implementation have been discovered to influence healthcare workers' perception of the program. This study aims to investigate the perception of healthcare workers regarding the ERAS program. DESIGN: A scoping review in a systematic manner. METHODS: A systematic search was performed using six databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, SCOPUS, EBSCO, Proquest, and Sage Journals, from August 2011 to August 2021. The data was extracted using an excel worksheet, and the results obtained were presented descriptively. FINDINGS: This study selected a total of 10 articles, where both qualitative and quantitative methods were used to discuss the perceptions of healthcare workers about ERAS. CONCLUSIONS: Based on this study's findings, not all healthcare workers have a good perception of ERAS. The implementation of ERAS is often hindered by several factors, including resistance to change and lack of knowledge about the program. However, good teamwork and support from hospital management can support the program's implementation.

The Attitude of Health Care Workers on Enhanced Recovery After Surgery for Cesarean Delivery: A Scoping Review.

OBJECTIVE: Previous systematic reviews have found that the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol for cesarean delivery can vary from one study to another, and the attitudes of health care professionals regarding ERAS methods and the implementation of the ERAS for cesarean delivery remain unclear. We aimed to identify the attitudes of health professionals toward ERAS in the context of cesarean delivery. DATA SOURCES: Systematic searches were conducted in 6 databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCO, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, and Sage Journals from September 2010 to September 2020. STUDY SELECTION: A total of 4 articles were selected for analysis. All articles use survey methods and present health professional attitudes toward ERAS for cesarean delivery. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS: Data were extracted using Excel spreadsheets. The results obtained are presented descriptively. CONCLUSION: This review illustrates that there are many ERAS protocols that health care professionals have not yet implemented for cesarean delivery. Policymakers can use this knowledge to inform the promotion of the ERAS protocol for cesarean delivery.

The Influence of Social Isolation on the Preventive Behaviors for Non-Communicable Diseases in Community-Dwelling Older Adults in Japan.

This study aimed to examine the relationship between one's physical status related to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and social isolation, and to identify lifestyle behaviors for the prevention of NCDs associated with social isolation among community-dwelling older adults in Japan. A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate lifestyle behaviors for NCD prevention associated with social isolation in Japanese adults aged 60 years and above in a community setting. Out of 57 participants, 17.5% were not socially participative, 66.7% hardly ever, 29.8% sometimes, and 3.5% often felt loneliness. Non-social participation and loneliness were negatively related to the frequency of vegetable and fruit intake. Additionally, loneliness was positively associated with one's duration of smoking and current smoking habits, and negatively associated with the frequency of moderate-intensity activities, with marginal significance. Those with non-social participation or loneliness were less likely to eat a healthy diet and live a smoke-free lifestyle. The findings of this study suggest that a mutual health support system in the community and the development of community-based approaches for the prevention of NCDs among Japanese older adults are needed.

Behaviors toward Noncommunicable Diseases Prevention and their Relationship with Physical Health Status among Community-dwelling, Middle-aged and Older women in Indonesia.

We aim to clarify the behaviors toward noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) prevention focusing on lifestyle-related diseases and physical health status and examine their relationship among community-dwelling women in Indonesia. This cross-sectional study included women aged 45 years and older. Data were collected through an interview using a structured questionnaire; the following parameters were also measured: height, weight, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), handgrip strength, and 10 m gait speed. This study found that the majority of women adopted one or more healthy behaviors to prevent NCDs, while few women practiced comprehensive behaviors. Age, satisfaction with house income, living alone, social support, social participation, and household decision making were the determinant factors for behaviors toward NCDs prevention. A high prevalence of underweight (26.4%), overweight (31.9%), obesity (5.6%), high systolic blood pressure (SBP) (62.5%), and low muscle strength (54.2%) were frequently observed. Eating well-balanced meals, avoiding fatty foods, and undergoing blood cholesterol testing had significant correlations with physical health status. It is concluded that the activities at Posyandu Lansia (health village posts for older adults) are necessary to help women with unhealthy eating behaviors and lower physical activity and unawareness of health checkups to maintain focus and to develop a more practical approach to NCDs prevention.

Sex Education in Children and Adolescents With Disabilities in Yogyakarta, Indonesia From a Teachers' Gender Perspective.

Children and adolescents with disabilities (CAD) frequently engage in inappropriate sexual behaviors. In Indonesia, the need for sex education for CAD remains unclear. This study investigated teacher attitudes toward providing sex education in special schools to clarify the gender differences among teachers providing sex education. Questionnaires were sent to 180 teachers. The response rate was 72.2%. Eighty-three percent of responders were Muslim. Our findings revealed that teachers in special schools considered sex education to be important. However, the number of sex education contents was limited, and female teachers were more positive about teaching sex education than male teachers. Equally, female teachers taught a greater number of sex education contents than did male teachers. These findings were consistent with reports from developed countries although cultural and religious background differed from those of Indonesia. Sex education for CAD was accepted by teachers in Indonesia; however, materials and tools for education should be developed further.

Change in contraceptive methods following the Yogyakarta earthquake and its association with the prevalence of unplanned pregnancy.

BACKGROUND: This study was conducted to examine access to contraception and change in contraceptive methods before and after the disaster in Bantul area, and to evaluate the prevalence of unplanned pregnancy. STUDY DESIGN: In total, 450 married women participated. Questionnaires, which included participants' background, contraceptive methods, difficulties in accessing contraceptive method, and unplanned pregnancy, were completed. RESULTS: Within 1 year of the disaster, the percentage of participants who used injections and implants tended to decrease, while the percentage of participants who used pills tended to increase. Use of coitus interruptus significantly increased after the disaster. The prevalence of unplanned pregnancy was significantly higher in a group of participants who had difficulty accessing contraceptive methods compared to a group that did not. CONCLUSIONS: Health personnel should not only actively deliver contraceptive methods in a disaster situation but also educate couples to prevent unplanned pregnancy.
