Foodborne diseases are manifested through a wide array of symptoms, such as gastrointestinal disorders, diarrhea, and vomiting, which are most common. Failure in the treatment of such diseases could cause damage to the joints, nervous system, kidneys, and heart [5]. On the other hand, if appropriate measures are not taken to control foodborne diseases, these disorders spread quickly, affecting a larger number of individuals [6].According to the estimates of the Centers for Disease Background: Proper food management during food preparation and maintenance is essential to reducing foodborne diseases. The theory of planned behavior (TPB) is commonly used for the examination of health behaviors. No research has assessed the effectiveness of TPB in predicting food safety behaviors in Iran. The present study aimed to examine food safety behaviors based on the TPB. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 220 women in Yazd, Iran in 2018. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire consisting of items on food safety behaviors and TPB constructs with confirmed reliability and validity. Data analysis was performed in SPSS version 21.0. Results: A significant, positive correlation was observed between food safety behaviors and all the TPB constructs (r = 0.15-0.38; P < 0.05). In addition, intention was significantly correlated with food safety behaviors (r = 0.35; P < 0.001), and 27% of the behavior variance was explained by the TPB constructs. Perceived behavioral control was the strongest predictor (β = 0.3; P < 0.001), and 31% of the intention variance was explained by the TPB constructs. Subjective norm was considered the strongest predictor (β = 0.41; P < 0.001). Conclusion:The TPB could be used as a framework for the educational interventions aimed at health observance in food preparation.

Background Upper gastrointestinal cancers (UGICs) are increasingly prevalent. With a poor prognosis and significant longer-term effects, UGICs present significant adjustment challenges for individuals with cancer and their informal caregivers. However, the supportive care needs of these informal caregivers are largely unknown. This systematic review of qualitative studies synthesises and critically evaluates the current evidence base on the experience of informal caregivers of individuals with UGIC. Methods A Joanna Briggs Institute systematic review was conducted. Searches were performed in four databases (MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Embase, CINAHL) from database inception to February 2021. Included studies explored experiences of informal caregivers of individuals diagnosed with primary cancer of the oesophagus, stomach, pancreas, bile duct, gallbladder, or liver. Studies were independently screened for eligibility and included studies were appraised for quality by two reviewers. Data were extracted and synthesised using meta-aggregation. Results 19 papers were included in this review, and 328 findings were extracted. These were aggregated into 16 categories across three findings: (1) UGIC caregiver burden; UGIC caregivers undertake extensive responsibilities, especially around patient diet as digestion is severely impacted by UGICs. (2) Mediators of caregiver burden; The nature of UGICs, characterised by disruptive life changes for caregivers, was identified as a mediator for caregiver burden. (3) Consequences of caregiver burden: UGIC caregivers’ experiences were shaped by unmet needs, a lack of information and a general decline in social interaction. Conclusions The findings of this review suggest the need for a cultural shift within health services. Caregiving for UGIC patients is suggested to adversely affect caregivers’ quality of life, similarly to other cancer caregiving populations and therefore they should be better incorporated as co-clients in care-planning and execution by including them in discussions about the patient’s diagnosis, treatment options, and potential side effects.
