The purpose of this study was to modify the Gladys Block Food Frequency Questionnaire (GBFFQ) in both content and format customizing it to the ethnic needs of a specific group of South Asian immigrants residing in the United States. The three steps involved were: (1) standardizing preparation methods of core foods selected from those identified as core foods of the study group using a 24-hour dietary...
Hospital foodservice departments have experienced higher than desirable turnover rates for at least twenty years. This study was designed to determine if the turnover rates were related to, or effected by, status of training programs. A randomized sample of 400 hospitals was chosen from a national listing to be surveyed for this information. The 28-item double pilot-tested survey was addressed to...
Forty-four overweight subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus were enrolled in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind trial of pharmacologic induction of weight loss. All subjects received intensive nutrition counseling, an exercise prescription, instruction on behavioral management, and were randomly assigned to fenfluramine 20mg three times daily and phentermine 37.5mg daily (n=23) or dual...
Participation in competitive athletics is associated with social pressures and performance anxieties that may increase the risk of eating disorders. Psychometric instruments routinely used in the general population may not accurately estimate eating disorders in the female athlete. Recognizing the need for a screening instrument to distinguish between those behaviors which are essential to athletic...
A third grade reading level knowledge test concerning the dietary fat and cholesterol level of foods and the role of these substances in the development of coronary heart disease was administered to 1,242 third grade students from various socioeconomic backgrounds. Utilizing the results of this test a 10 lesson heart healthy curriculum was developed; the purpose of the curriculum was to increase the...
Moving from a manual, paper process for documenting in the medical record to a computerized process is a major adjustment for caregivers also faced with changes imposed by the differences in presenting and handling data through electronic means. The disciplines involved in the interdisciplinary assessment process are Dietetics, Nursing, Respiratory Therapy, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy,...
Distance education is a new technology that can be utilized for bring programs to those who may be unable to participate in AME due to time constraints, lack of financial support or other obligations. In 1997 the AME held in Boston, Mass. had approximately 8700 attendees which represents 7.7% of the total membership of ADA.Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service developed a distance education...
Eating disorders commonly develop during adolescence. In order to devise a prevention/education program, it is necessary to assess the presence of eating disordered behaviors in this population. The Kids' Eating Disorders Survey (KEDS) was used to gather data on body dissatisfaction, exercise and eating habits and restricting/purging behaviors. School and health professionals administered the self-report...
Clinical pathways have historically been used to aid in continuity and standardization of medical treatment. They can also be useful tools for monitoring patient status to improve overall outcome of care. A retrospective record review (n=68) evaluated the presence of a clinical pathway in the outpatient record and the accuracy of its completion. In addition, the time from diagnosis until receiving...
The wellness component of an enhanced collaborative program between two hospital facilities uses a team approach including a registered dietitian, an advanced nurse practitioner, a health promotion director and collaborating physician. As a part of the first phase of implementation of the employee health and wellness program, a wellness screening was conducted on over 600 employees. Nursing students,...
After fifty years of Soviet rule, the country of Latvia is undergoing widespread change as it seeks to redevelop its government, economy, and healthcare system. The demands of the population have exceeded their resources, both financial and material. The American International Health Alliance (AIHA), in a partnership with a large Midwestern healthcare facility, sponsored a community health promotion...
The purpose of this study was to assess using a survey questionnaire the lifetime prevalence of several eating- and weight-related behaviors in medical, dental, and nursing students. The sample included 109 students: 59% were female, 67% were single, 84% were Caucasian, and average age was 26.5 years. The results indicated that the prevalence rates of food restriction, exercise, self-induced vomiting,...
Benchmarking is a continuous, systematic, management process for measuring work processes, products, and services for the purpose of organizational comparison and improvement. Benchmarking has been used in business and industry since the early 1980's, but has just recently become more common in foodservice operations. Benchmarking is a useful management tool for foodservice directors to use in leading...
The Information Technology Department and the Nutrition and Dietetics Department combined forces to create an unusual adaptation of Internet newsgroups. Special computer configurations enabled researchers to establish nine newsgroups accessible to students via the World Wide Web. Students (n=450) enrolled in an introductory nutrition course were assigned to a newsgroup. Upper-class nutrition students...
A computer-based simulation system (CPSS) was developed to include three realistic scenarios of patients with cardiovascular disease. Beginning dietetic interns used either these simulations or an alternative computer tutorial (NCPT) during their internship orientation. During the subsequent eight weeks of clinical rotations, interns were evaluated weekly by their clinical preceptors. Performance...
Until April, 1997 no nutrition services were available for individuals with HIV and AIDS within a 26 county rural area. Anorexia, poor oral intake, mucositis, emotional stress, opportunistic infections, increased energy and protein requirements, and side-effects of treatment place these individuals at high nutritional risk. Rural health care brings additional burdens which include lack of access to...
It is well documented that malnutrition increases the risk of morbidity and mortality in dialysis patients. At North Iowa Mercy Dialysis Center, a three month baseline study concluded that 46% of the patients were identified at nutritional risk (indicated by albumin less than 3.5mg/dl).Based on these results, a 15 month multidisciplinary Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) project to improve nutritional...
Breast-feeding is encouraged to optimize the health and nutrition of newborn infants. In addition, breast-feeding may impact maternal postpartum weight loss and subsequent body composition. In our study height, weight, waist and hip circumferences were measured in 141 white women between the ages of 25 and 50, from which body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratios (WHR) were calculated. Percent...
Fifty-five dietetic interns from eight different programs used three computer-based simulations of patients with cardiovascular disease during the orientation phase of the internship. Users were asked to assess each patient and develop a nutrition care plan. The simulations included a medical record and other information typically available for a newly hospitalized patient. A main menu of eight choices...
