An Evidence Based Rationale for Health and Wellness Coaching as a Complementary Certification in Undergraduate Health Education.

Health and wellness coaching (HWC) is an effective intervention for many chronic lifestyle diseases. Chronic diseases represent a majority of our severe national healthcare burden. Yet, HWC certification programs vary in delivery method and degree awarded. The purpose of this paper is to provide an evidence based rationale for HWC as a complementary area of study to non-licensure granting, undergraduate health degrees in higher education. A comprehensive review of the literature related to the efficacy of HWC was completed. In addition, the national program directory was mined for descriptive data for approved HWC programs. Given the growing body of support for HWC as an effective intervention, we recommend that institutions deliver HWC curricula as an academic minor for undergraduate students in non-licensure granting health-related degrees to position graduates for entry level careers in HWC. Evidence from the successful deployment of an undergraduate program in HWC supports our contention that HWC be delivered as an academic minor in support of lifestyle health and wellness education. In doing so, the field can offer HWC in a way that is widely accessible to the undergraduate population, while providing a mechanism for direct employment as a professional health and wellness coach.

Advances in pulmonary rehabilitation for children with bronchial asthma. / æ”¯æ°”ç®¡å“®å–˜æ‚£å„¿è‚ºåº·å¤ä¸´åºŠç ”ç©¶è¿›å±•.

Bronchial asthma is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness. With the development of the whole-life-cycle health concept, the focus of treatment for bronchial asthma in children has gradually shifted from pharmacological control to an integrated management model of functional rehabilitation and pharmacological assistance. As a non-pharmacological integrated approach, pulmonary rehabilitation plays an equally important role in the management of childhood asthma as pharmacological treatments. Breathing techniques such as Buteyko breathing, pursed lip breathing, diaphragmatic breathing training, threshold-pressure inspiratory muscle training and yoga breathing can improve lung function indicators such as forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), peak expiratory flow (PEF) and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) in children. Comprehensive pre-exercise assessment, development of exercise prescriptions, and implementation and evaluation of exercise effects can improve physical fitness, neuromuscular coordination, and self-confidence of children with asthma. The comprehensive interventions of health education, psychological support and nutritional intervention can improve the compliance and effectiveness of rehabilitation training. This article reviews the research progress on respiratory training, physical exercise, and comprehensive interventions in the pulmonary rehabilitation of asthmatic children, to provide theoretical basis and practical guidance for the scientific and rational management of pulmonary rehabilitation of asthmatic children in clinical settings.

Advances in pulmonary rehabilitation for children with bronchial asthma / 浙江大学学报·医学版

Bronchial asthma is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness. With the development of the whole-life-cycle health concept, the focus of treatment for bronchial asthma in children has gradually shifted from initial pharmacological control to an integrated management model of functional rehabilitation and pharmacological assistance. As a non-pharmacological integrated approach, pulmonary rehabilitation plays an equally important role in the management of childhood asthma as pharmacological treatment. Studies have shown that breathing techniques such as Buteyko breathing, pursed lip breathing, diaphragmatic breathing training, threshold-pressure inspiratory muscle training and yoga breathing can improve lung function indicators such as FEV1, FVC, PEF and MVV in children. The comprehensive pre-exercise assessment, the development of exercise prescriptions, and the implementation and evaluation of exercise effects can improve the physical fitness, neuromuscular coordination and self-confidence of children with asthma. The comprehensive interventions of health education, psychological support and nutritional intervention can improve the compliance and effectiveness of rehabilitation training. This article reviews the research progress on respiratory training, physical exercise and comprehensive interventions in the pulmonary rehabilitation of asthmatic children, to provide theoretical basis and practical guidance for the scientific and rational management of pulmonary rehabilitation of asthmatic children in clinical settings.

Nurse-led interventions in the prevention and treatment of overweight and obesity in infants, children and adolescents: A scoping review.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Nurses are well-placed in primary care, school and community settings to identify and manage paediatric overweight and obesity. This scoping review examined what types of nurse-led interventions have been undertaken for the prevention, treatment and management of obesity and overweight in infants, children and adolescents. DESIGN: Scoping review. DATA SOURCES: CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Embase, MEDLINE, ProQuest Central, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global, and Scopus. Searches were undertaken from inception to 2019. METHODS: Database searches and handsearching were used to identify academic and grey literature, such as scientific reports and university theses and dissertations, on nurse-led interventions undertaken in school, primary health care and community settings. Studies focused on addressing overweight and obesity in children and adolescents, for studies published from 1999 onwards. Studies included focused on experimental and quasi-experimental research that implemented interventions, and described new practice or change in practice. RESULTS: 117 references encompassing 83 studies or programs were selected for inclusion. 16 trials were analysed descriptively, and 67 trials were analysed descriptively and quantitatively. The analysis structured intervention settings and outcomes using the socioecological model, encompassing intrapersonal, interpersonal, community, organisation and policy factors. Studies included were clinically heterogeneous for intervention setting and multicomponent strategies. Education for nutrition, physical activity and behaviour change was the most common strategy used, and nutrition and physical activity knowledge most consistently improved after intervention. Nursing roles focused on education; counselling and behaviour change in primary care; advocacy in school and community environments; and implementing policy in child care settings. Fifty-four studies received financial or resource funding and support to implement the study. On sustainability, seven programs and two research studies were ongoing at time of writing. CONCLUSIONS: While the clinical heterogeneity of studies makes synthesis of outcomes complex, it demonstrates the breadth of nursing interventions to address paediatric overweight and obesity. Incentives that encourage routine health promotion, upskilling of nurses, and embedding food and nutrition education into the school curricula, are suitable strategies that support nurse-led interventions against paediatric obesity. REGISTRATION NUMBER: Not applicable. Tweetable abstract: Scoping r/v - what interventions are led by nurses to address paediatric obesity? 83 studies investigate nurses' work in school, primary health, community care.

Conhecimento sobre paralisia cerebral em crianças por parte das mães atendidas em uma unidade básica de saúde / Knowledge of child cerebral palsy by mothers assisted in a basic health unit / Nivel de conocimiento de madres atendidas en una unidad básica de salud sobre la parálisis cerebral de sus niños

A paralisia cerebral infantil é uma disfunção neuromotora resultante de encefalopatia não progressiva. É relevante o impacto da doença dada a repercussão na criança, na família e na sociedade. Ainda não se tem um fator determinante para tal agravo, mas sabe-se que a hipoxemia e a isquemia cerebral concorrem para essa disfunção. Algumas medidas que visam prevenir a doença podem ser tomadas no período perinatal. O objetivo com o trabalho foi avaliar o conhecimento e fontes de informações a respeito da paralisia cerebral infantil. Mães cadastradas pelo Programa Saúde da Família (PSF) "Viver Melhor", do município de Diamantina-MG, foram selecionadas e, em seguida, foram realizadas entrevistas utilizando questões norteadoras semi-estruturadas voltadas para o problema. Após a transcrição das falas, os discursos foram agrupados em três eixos temáticos: conhecimento sobre paralisia cerebral, fontes de informação sobre a doença e papel dos serviços de saúde na prevenção da paralisia cerebral infantil. Os resultados indicaram que as ações educativas precisam ser ampliadas mediante a remodelação de práticas profissionais, incremento de políticas públicas e melhoria dos serviços ofertados à gestante no período perinatal.

Child cerebral palsy is a neuromotor disorder resulting from non-progressive encephalopathy. The impact of the disease is significant because of its effect on the child, family and society. The main cause is not yet known, but it is known that hypoxia and cerebral ischaemia contribute. Some measures to avoid the disease can be taken in the perinatal period. The objective of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and sources of information about Child Cerebral Palsy. Mothers enrolled in the "Viver Melhor" Family Health Program in Diamantina, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, were selected and interviewed using semi-structured questions about the problem. After the speech was transcribed, the discourse was grouped around three themes: knowledge about cerebral palsy, sources of information about the disease and the role of health services in the prevention of child cerebral palsy. The results indicated that education initiatives must be widened through redesigning professional practice, increasing public policies and improving services provided to women in the perinatal period.
