Dietary Connections

52.1K
In biological systems, most metabolic pathways are interconnected. The cellular respiration processes that convert glucose to ATP—such as glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, and the citric acid cycle—tie into those that break down other organic compounds. As a result, various foods—from apples to cheese to guacamole—end up as ATP. In addition to carbohydrates, food also contains proteins and lipids—such as cholesterol and fats. All of these organic compounds are used...

Taste Buds and Receptors

5.6K
Gustation, or the sense of taste, is intrinsically linked to the anatomical structures located on the tongue. This organ's surface, along with the entirety of the oral cavity, is adorned with stratified squamous epithelium. Evident on the tongue are elevated structures known as papillae (singular = papilla), which house the mechanisms for the transduction of gustatory stimuli. Four distinct types of papillae exist, each identified by their unique morphological attributes: the circumvallate,...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

3.1K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Health Literacy

4.7K
Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Public Health
  • Nutrition Science

Background:

  • Food insecurity (FI) affects 13.5% of US individuals, hindering chronic disease management.
  • Limited research exists on FI educational interventions for medical students.
  • FI impacts overall health and patient ability to manage chronic conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of an FI educational intervention on preclerkship medical students.
  • To evaluate changes in learner knowledge of FI resources and screening questions.
  • To measure changes in student comfort with FI counseling and attitudes towards FI.

Main Methods:

  • A service-learning intervention was implemented with first- and second-year medical students.
  • The intervention included a 30-minute lecture, a case study, and a 3.5-hour service-learning activity at a food bank.
  • Student knowledge, comfort, and attitudes were assessed via surveys pre-intervention, immediately post-intervention, and 1.5 months later.

Main Results:

  • Medical students demonstrated increased knowledge of FI resources and screening tools post-intervention.
  • Confidence in assessing patients for FI improved immediately and at 1.5 months.
  • Students recalled specific resources like SNAP/EBT (45%) and WIC (21%), and their attitudes toward FI shifted.

Conclusions:

  • The FI educational intervention effectively increased medical students' knowledge and confidence in addressing patient food insecurity.
  • This intervention serves as a replicable model for training future physicians.
  • Equipping medical students with FI assessment skills is crucial for patient health and well-being.
