The essence of ensuring universal nutritional health lies in achieving a balance between the growing demand for nutritional health and the supply of adequate and balanced nutritional services. This paper learns and draws on the ideological theory and methodological support of evidence-based science, optimizing practices, reevaluations, monitoring risks, producing evidence and cultivating talents so as to enable the interdisciplines of evidence-based nutrition and develop in a localized way and gain optimal timeliness, quantity and quality.
Knowledge translation (KT) provides a paradigm to bridge the gap between knowledge and practice, which has critical instructive significance for health promotion. This article expounds on the connotation of KT by comparing it with similar terms. Next, it introduces three kinds of common KT theoretical models, including process models, determinant frameworks, and evaluation frameworks. Finally, its application and experiences in health promotion are summarized to provide references for the ongoing health promotion in China.
Objective To investigate the current status of health promoting lifestyle in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients and to explore its correlation with chronic illness resource utilization. Methods Patients who underwent outpatient MHD in the Hemodialysis Room of the Department of Nephrology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University between January and March 2023 were selected. Patients were surveyed using the General Information Questionnaire, Chronic Illness Resource Survey, and Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-Ⅱ Revise. Results A total of 158 patients were surveyed. MHD patients scored 103.37±18.52 on health promoting lifestyle, and 68.95±14.14 on chronic illness resource utilization. The Pearson correlation analysis results showed that there was a positive correlation between the chronic illness resource utilization and the total score of health promoting lifestyle in MHD patients (r=0.765, P<0.001), as well as scores in all dimensions (P<0.05). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the main caregivers being parents [non-standardized partial regression coefficient (b)=8.150, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.804, 15.497), P=0.030], weekly dialysis times [b=10.701, 95%CI (2.787, 18.615), P=0.008], and chronic illness resource utilization [b=0.936, 95%CI (0.800, 1.072), P<0.001] were influencing factors for health promoting lifestyle. Conclusions MHD patients have an average health promoting lifestyle, and ideal chronic illness resource utilization. Hemodialysis nurses can take targeted measures to enhance chronic illness resource utilization and health promoting lifestyle in MHD patients, which can further improve the quality of life of MHD patients.
ObjectiveTo identify factors and strategies for the sustainability of evidence-based health promotion programs. MethodsThe articles related to program sustainability factors and strategies were retrieved from the CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, PubMed, and Web of Science database. The search period for English literature was from June 19, 2018, to December 3, 2024, while no start date was set for Chinese literature, with the same end date. Three researchers independently screened studies based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria and subsequently extracted the basic characteristics from the included studies. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify the sustainability factors and strategies from the included studies. ResultsA total of 65 articles were included in the scoping review. Through thematic analysis, 23 factors were identified and classified into six categories: program characteristics, organization characteristics, human resources, material resources, community resources and policy resources, along with 44 strategies grouped into six categories: programming strategies, collaborative strategies, capacity-building strategies, resource mobilization strategies, communication and dissemination strategies, and evaluative strategies. ConclusionThe sustainability factors and strategies identified in this study exhibit conceptual and structural alignment with existing frameworks and strategy sets in implementation science. Concurrently, by incorporating a full life-cycle perspective, this study delineates context-specific factors and strategies tailored to the unique requirements of sustaining programs over time, thereby contributing to a more nuanced understanding of program sustainability and offering practical guidance for strengthening the longevity of evidence-based health promotion programs.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the current prevalence, key determinants, and prevention strategies of childhood obesity in China. MethodA retrospective review of recent domestic and international literature and policy documents related to the epidemiological trends, health impacts, risk factors, and intervention strategies for childhood obesity was conducted, supplemented by national surveillance data and clinical practice updates. ResultsThe prevalence of childhood obesity in China had been rising continuously over the past four decades, with particularly high rates observed among primary school children and boys. Recent trends showed a “provincial reversal” and an “urban-rural reversal”. The complex interplay of factors at the family, school, and societal levels contributed to the high-risk environment for obesity. China had developed a relatively comprehensive policy framework for obesity prevention and control and was promoting a three-tier prevention strategy. Clinically, pharmacological and surgical interventions were being gradually adopted, and traditional Chinese medicine also showed potential. However, challenges remain, including limited health insurance coverage. ConclusionsChildhood obesity has become a significant public health issue in China, threatening national health and social development. Future efforts should focus on enhancing intersectoral governance, improving early intervention capabilities, expanding health insurance support, and standardizing clinical practices. A multi-level, multi-pathway integrated prevention and control system is essential for effectively curbing childhood obesity under the Healthy China strategy.
