Optimal Foraging00:48

Optimal Foraging

14.4K
How animals obtain and eat their food is called foraging behavior. Foraging can include searching for plants and hunting for prey and depends on the species and environment.

Self-Schemas

36.7K
In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Maslow's Theory of Basic Human Needs01:28

Maslow's Theory of Basic Human Needs

3.5K
Maslow's hierarchy is described with the help of a pyramidal shape. The most fundamental needs, physiological needs, are at the bottom of the pyramid.
Physiological needs such as hunger, thirst, sex, physical comfort, and survival are at the bottom of the pyramid. These are the components that are necessary to sustain life. Once the first level of needs has been met, the second level arises.
Safety needs include stability and predictability. Protection and freedom from danger are all a part...

Metabolic States of the Body: Fasting and Starvation01:24

Metabolic States of the Body: Fasting and Starvation

3.5K
During the initial hours of fasting, the body uses up its glycogen stores as an energy source. Once these glycogen reserves are depleted, the body begins breaking down stored triglycerides and structural proteins. During this stage, glycerol becomes a key substrate for gluconeogenesis, while free fatty acids undergo beta-oxidation to provide energy for tissues, such as skeletal muscle. In the fasting state, the body spares protein breakdown as much as possible to conserve muscle and structural...

Primary Motives: Hunger and Thirst

1.8K
Hunger and thirst are fundamental physiological drives crucial for maintaining homeostasis and ensuring the survival of both humans and animals. These drives are regulated through complex interactions between the brain, hormones, and sensory receptors.
Hunger arises when the brain detects changes in the body's nutrient levels, including glucose, lipids, amino acids, and hormones such as ghrelin and leptin. The hypothalamus plays a central role in hunger regulation. The lateral hypothalamus...

Overview of Protein Metabolism01:21

Overview of Protein Metabolism

4.9K
Proteins are broken down into amino acids during digestion. Unlike fats and carbohydrates, which are stored for later use, proteins are not. Instead, amino acids are either used to produce ATP through oxidation or contribute to the creation of new proteins for the growth and repair of the body. Any surplus amino acids from the diet are converted into glucose or triglycerides rather than excreted.
Amino acids play various roles in the body once they are absorbed into cells. They are restructured...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Public Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Food insecurity affects 48 million Americans, posing significant public health challenges.
  • Documented associations between food insecurity and adverse health outcomes necessitate nursing intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a concept analysis of food insecurity.
  • To propose a theoretical model of food insecurity relevant to nursing practice.
  • To discuss the implications of food insecurity for nursing practice, research, and health promotion.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was performed using Scopus and MEDLINE databases with the term "food insecur*".
  • Searches were expanded to include government websites and popular media for a holistic understanding.
  • Iterative concept analysis was conducted using the established Walker and Avant methodology.

Main Results:

  • Food insecurity is characterized by uncertain or insufficient food access, inability to maintain a healthy diet, and dissatisfaction.
  • A novel theoretical model, adapted from the Socio-Ecological Model, conceptualizes food insecurity across individual, community, and societal levels.
  • The model identifies multiple points for potential nursing intervention within each layer of food insecurity.

Conclusions:

  • Nurses have a critical role in combating food insecurity.
  • There is a significant, yet unrealized, potential for nursing to impact food insecurity.
  • The proposed conceptual model, 'Food Insecurity Within the Nursing Paradigm,' offers a framework to guide nursing actions.
