Insights

This study co-designed a Reusable Learning Object (RLO) and infographic to boost caregiver understanding and use of responsive infant feeding, a key strategy for preventing childhood obesity.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Behavioral Science
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Responsive infant feeding is crucial for preventing childhood obesity.
  • Caregivers need evidence-based guidance on responsive feeding practices.
  • Existing resources for responsive feeding are limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To co-design a Reusable Learning Object (RLO) and infographic to enhance caregiver knowledge and application of responsive infant feeding behaviors.
  • To improve caregiver awareness and understanding of responsive feeding cues.
  • To support the implementation of responsive feeding into healthcare settings.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation and Behaviour (COM-B) model and the ASPIRE co-design approach.
  • Conducted four co-design workshops with caregivers and healthcare professionals (HCPs).
  • Employed content analysis for RLO development and formative/summative surveys for evaluation.

Main Results:

  • Co-designed a RLO and infographic for responsive infant feeding.
  • Gathered caregiver and HCP input to prioritize RLO content.
  • Evaluated RLO usability and impact on caregiver behaviors.

Conclusions:

  • The developed RLO and infographic can improve caregiver engagement with responsive feeding.
  • This intervention has the potential to be integrated into NHS care pathways for obesity prevention.
  • Findings will be disseminated to stakeholders and published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Obesity

The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a numerical value derived from a person's weight and height, used to categorize individuals into weight ranges. It is calculated using the formula: weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Obesity is a health condition characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue that poses health risks, often diagnosed with a BMI ≥ 30. This excess fat storage occurs when surplus dietary calories are converted into triglycerides and stored in...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...
