“…Additionally, mothers only give their children food sources they know they will like and don't supplement their diet with other foods. Picky eaters and food skippers, for example, may be at risk for behavioural disorders as well as difficulties with growth and development (Lodhi et al, 2010;Sahiledengle et al 2022;Yazew et al 2022)…”

Objective: Malnutrition in children under five years old has been a public health problem for a long time. More than a third of all child deaths occur as a result of malnutrition. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of nutritional health interventions in improving knowledge, attitudes, and eating habits in malnourished children. Methods: A quasi- experimental design was adopted in this investigation. The size of the sample was 140. Participants were assigned in a random order of 1:1 (70 intervention and 70 control groups) in the area of the Seberang Padang Health Center. The intervention's effect was calculated using a difference in difference (DID) analysis. Results: The baseline findings revealed significant differences in sociodemographic (mother's age p=0.006; socioeconomic p=0.007; education p=0.002; occupational p= 0.011) and children's socio demographics (age: p=0.016; sex: p=0.042; birth weight: p=0.049; exclusive breastfeeding: p=0.001, immunisation status: p=0.001, infectious disease: p=0.001, vitamin A , attitude, and eating habits differed, indicating a significant increase in score from the baseline to the end line (knowledge: DID = 6.114, 95% CI = 5.556-6.673, p=0.001; attitude: DID =18.643, 95% CI = 17.043-20.242, p= 0.001; and eating habits: DID = 7.586, 95% CI = 6.556-8.615, p =0.001). Conclusion: The nutritional health intervention carried out for six months produced significant evidence of improved knowledge, attitudes, and eating habits in malnourished children. Policy planning and implications in Padang City, West Sumatera still need more focus on research that addresses child nutrition habit, as there is no research done in this area.

Background: An under-developed and fragmented prehospital Emergency Medical Services (EMS) system is a major obstacle to the timely care of emergency patients. Insufficient emphasis on prehospital emergency systems in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) currently causes a substantial number of avoidable deaths from time-sensitive illnesses, highlighting a critical need for improved prehospital emergency care systems. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to assess the prehospital emergency care services across LMICs. Methods: This systematic review used four electronic databases, namely: PubMed/MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, and SCOPUS, to search for published reports on prehospital emergency medical care in LMICs. Only peer-reviewed studies published in English language from January 1, 2010 through November 1, 2022 were included in the review. The Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (NOS) and Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklist were used to assess the methodological quality of the included studies. Further, the protocol of this systematic review has been registered on the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) database (Ref: CRD42022371936) and has been conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Results: Of the 4,909 identified studies, a total of 87 studies met the inclusion criteria and were therefore included in the review. Prehospital emergency care structure, transport care, prehospital times, health outcomes, quality of information exchange, and patient satisfaction were the most reported outcomes in the considered studies. Conclusions: The prehospital care system in LMICs is fragmented and uncoordinated, lacking trained medical personnel and first responders, inadequate basic materials, and substandard infrastructure.

BackgroundMore and more attention has been paid to the mental health of students in higher education. The Omicron outbreak has brought renewed attention to this vulnerable group.ObjectiveTo understand the prevalence and influencing factors of anxiety symptoms and depression symptoms of college students in a closed state.MethodsThis large cross-sectional study using data from a survey on the mental health of college students in Shanghai (China), conducted by using a stratified cluster random sampling method between March 15th and April 15th, 2022. To estimate results related to regional location, only data from students with Internet protocol addresses and current addresses in Shanghai were included. The main outcome was self-reported psychological distress (including depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and self-assessment of health), measured using the epidemiologic studies depression scale (CES-D), the Spielberger state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI) and self-rated mental health (SRMH), respectively. Moreover, the Simplified Coping Style Scale (SCSS) was also used to assess how participants coped with negative emotions.ResultsAmong 13,000 college students who completed the survey, 12,124 students were included in the final analysis, and the total effective rate was 93.3%. The prevalence of depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms were 14.1 and 9.8%, respectively. By using Multivariate logistics regression analysis, we found that being male and negative coping were risk factors for depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms, while positive coping, such as study or learning, were protective factors. Moreover, linear regression analysis showed that learning or study improved the overall mental health index by improving anxiety or depressive symptoms, and played a partial mediating role.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that a significant number of college students, especially boys, will experience emotional problems during the course of closed schools. Therefore, we need to give them proper attention and advise them to adopt positive coping strategies, such as learning or study, to resist bad emotions.
