Introduction:The prevalence of overweight and obesity are in continuous increasement all over the world. The management of obesity focuses on physical activity and healthy diet. Aim:the present study aimed at studying the lifestyle pattern as determinant of overweight and obesity among young adults.Method:Abaseline assessment survey study designwas utilized to accomplish this study. Convenience sampling technique was used to recruit total number of 132 young adults, who were invited through World Wide Web (WWW) for globalization.Results:The study revealed high prevalence of overweight among 50.8% of participantsand obesity among29.6% of them. More than half of participants had poor knowledge score related to healthy diet and physical exercise. Significant relationship was found between participants' body weight and their level of knowledge and dietary lifestyle as predictors in regression modal. Conclusion: The prevalence rate of overweight and obesity among young adults was high. Young adults had a poor score level of knowledge related healthy diet and physical exercises. Majority of them had unsatisfactory lifestylepattern including dietaryand physical activity. Finally, it is recommended to develop and implement effective weight management intervention that is appropriate to young adults to adopt healthy lifestyle.
Background: Trauma-informed care includes a range of practices that build a culture of safety, healing, and empowerment. Burns' practices in pediatrics don't fully incorporate traumainformed care (TIC), as the nature, extent, and impacts of trauma are not understood. Nurses are uniquely positioned to provide trauma-informed care, as they care for children in a serious and complex healthcare setting. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of trauma-informed care educational program on nurses' knowledge and practices at the pediatric burn unit. Study design: A quasi-experimental research design using one group (before, immediately after, and 2 months follow-up) was used. Setting: The study carried out at the Pediatric Burn Unit at the Plastic, Reconstructive, and Burn Surgery Center at Mansoura University Hospitals, Egypt. Subjects: A convenience sample of (65) pediatric burn nurses were recruited in the study. Tools: Data were collected using nurses' knowledge structured questionnaire and Nurses' Self-rated competence scale. Results: The study revealed that there was a significant improvement in nurses' knowledge. All nurses showed incompetent score levels of practice before intervention. While the majority of them had a competent level of practice immediately and after two months of intervention. There were highly statistically significant differences in relation to most items of nurses' opinions regarding trauma-informed care before and after the educational intervention. Conclusion: Implementing an educational program about trauma-informed care effectively improved nurses' knowledge and practices about the importance of incorporating both medical and psychological care at the pediatric burn unit. Recommendation: Periodic trauma-informed care training for nurses is needed and should aim to build nurses competence in providing trauma-informed care in different health care sitting.
