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...

Cross-Sectional Research

11.3K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Nutrition Science
  • Social Work Education

Background:

  • Food insecurity (FI) is a significant public health issue.
  • Understanding current training gaps is crucial for effective intervention.
  • Health professions students need adequate preparation to address FI.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the current state of food insecurity (FI)-related training.
  • To evaluate nutrition/dietetics, public health, and social work students' experiences and confidence in addressing FI.
  • To identify areas for improvement in FI education.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional online survey of 306 students across 12 US universities.
  • Assessed course-based and extracurricular FI experiences.
  • Measured confidence levels and analyzed open-ended responses on FI definitions and impactful activities.

Main Results:

  • Most students (80.6%) reported FI coverage in coursework.
  • The average confidence to address FI was 2.2 ± 0.48.
  • Students suggested more application-based learning and skills training.

Conclusions:

  • Health students generally possess a foundational understanding of FI and high self-reported confidence.
  • Findings highlight the need for enhanced FI training resources.
  • Future educational strategies should focus on practical skills and competency development.
