Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition01:27

Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition

Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...
Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention01:26

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...
Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.
Foundations of Community Mental Health Programs
Central to the success of community-based interventions is the...
Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System01:26

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...
Nature and Nurture01:10

Nature and Nurture

Many human characteristics, like height, are shaped by both nature—in other words, by our genes—and by nurture, or our environment. For example, chronic stress during childhood inhibits the production of growth hormones and consequently reduces bone growth and height. Scientists estimate that 70-90% of variation in height is due to genetic differences among individuals, and 10-30% of variation in height is due to differences in the environments that individuals experience, such as differences...
Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II01:18

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 from...

Assessment of Child Anthropometry in a Large Epidemiologic Study

Published on: February 2, 2017

Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Public Policy

Background:

  • Millions of young children in low- and middle-income countries face developmental challenges due to nutritional deficiencies and lack of learning opportunities, often linked to poverty.
  • Existing interventions for nutrition or child development are often single-component and not implemented at scale.
  • There's a need for integrated, large-scale programs addressing both nutrition and child development in disadvantaged settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide rational and systems-based criteria for implementing large-scale, multi-component nutrition and child development programs.
  • To inform the design of programs that support children's growth, nutrition, learning, and responsive caregiving in disadvantaged environments.
  • To advocate for integrated approaches to early childhood development.

Main Methods:

  • The study proposes criteria informed by nurturing care concepts and implementation science principles.
  • Criteria include setting evidence-based goals, ensuring equity for vulnerable children, establishing program quality and accountability, fostering engagement, implementing outcome assessments, and ensuring sustainability.
  • A multi-component partner management team operating in a data-driven feedback loop is suggested for coordination.

Main Results:

  • The paper presents a framework with six key criteria for successful large-scale implementation: Goals, Equity, Quality, Engagement, Outcome, and Sustainability.
  • The proposed system emphasizes a coordinated, multi-sectoral approach.
  • Continuous data-driven feedback loops are integral to the management system.

Conclusions:

  • Implementing large-scale, multi-component programs for early childhood nutrition and development is crucial for improving child thriving.
  • Such integrated interventions can enhance human capital, leading to improved health, economic stability, and quality of life.
  • A call to action is made for the integration of nutrition and child development interventions to maximize benefits for children, families, and nations.
