Abstract: Purpose: Among African Americans, breastfeeding rates are lower and obesity rates higher than other ethnicities in the United States. The objective of this systematic review was to examine the correlation between breastfeeding practices and childhood obesity rates among African Americans in the United States. Study Data Source and Eligibility criteria:The cumulative lndex to Nursing and Allied Health Literature(CINAHLI, pubMed, and Google Scholar were searched using the key words African Americans OR Blacks, Breastfeeding, Childhood 0besity OR overweight, andAdolescent obesity OR0verweight Twelve articles met inclusion criteria and are discussed. Results: No randomized controlled trials or meta-analyses were found. All studies were observational only. Eight studies found a protective effect of breastfeeding against childhood obesity among African Americans, whereas four other studies were inconclusive. Limitations: Only 12 studies met inclusion criteria for this review, and all studies included other ethnicities in addition to African Americans. More evidence is needed to effectively generalize the results to this population. Conclusions and lmplications: More research is needed on the topic, however, current research does suggest a protective effect of breastfeeding against childhood obesity in this high-risk population. Primary care providers and other healthcare workers need to address breastfeeding benefits and barriers among African American women across the continuum of care Link for e-copy: ้http://www.lww.com Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=25304 [article] Breastfeeding and childhood obesity among african americans : A systematic review [printed text] / Hess, Camber, Author ; Ofei, Agatha, Author ; Mincher, Alicia, Author . - 2016 . - p. 313-319.

Title : Cognitive Interviews for Validating the Family Nutrition Physical Activity Instrument for Korean-American Families With Young Children Material Type: printed text Authors: Park, So Hyun, Author ; Park, Chang Gi, Author ; McCreary, Linda, Author ; Norr, Kathleen F., Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.1-6 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Journal of Pediatric Nursing > Vol.36 No.5 (Sep-Oct) 2017 [10/18/2017] . - p.1-6Keywords: Childhood obesity. Family environment. Korean-Americans. Family Nutrition Physical Activity. Immigrants. Cognitive interview. Abstract: Purpose
Childhood obesity is a growing health concern for Korean-Americans (KA). The purpose of this study was to develop a culturally appropriate Korean-language version of the Family Nutrition Physical Activity (FNPA) instrument and evaluate its comprehensibility and cultural appropriateness of the FNPA for KAs.
Design and Methods
The FNPA was translated into Korean and cognitive interviews were conducted with 19 KA mothers in the Chicago metropolitan area.
Results
Overall, participants reported that the FNPA is easy to understand and said they had no difficulty answering items using a 4-point Likert scale. Six out of 20 items had minor revisions due to: items that were not specific enough, had confusing wording, or led to incorrect interpretations.
Conclusions
Cognitive interviews confirmed the cultural appropriateness of the translated FNPA in the KA context. It is crucial that child's age and cultural aspects of a child's household routines should be taken into consideration when the original FNPA is being used with culturally diverse populations.Link for e-copy: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-pediatric-nursing/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27391 [article] Cognitive Interviews for Validating the Family Nutrition Physical Activity Instrument for Korean-American Families With Young Children [printed text] / Park, So Hyun, Author ; Park, Chang Gi, Author ; McCreary, Linda, Author ; Norr, Kathleen F., Author . - 2017 . - p.1-6.

Title : Comparing Low-income Mothers' and Fathers' Concern for Young Children's Weight Material Type: printed text Authors: Vollme, Rachel L. V, Author ; Mobley, Amy R., Author Publication Date: 2018 Article on page: p.97-100 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Journal of Pediatric Nursing > Vol.37 No.6 (Nov-Dec) 2017 [03/29/2018] . - p.97-100Keywords: Pediatric obesity, Fathers, Weight perception, Body mass index, Preschool Abstract: Purpose
The objectives of this study were to compare the relationship of mother and father (1) perceived child weight and child body mass index (BMI) z-score, (2) concern for child's current weight and child BMI z-score, and (3) concern for child's future weight and child BMI z-score.
Design and Methods
This cross-sectional study included low-income mothers (n = 30) and fathers (n = 30) with a young child (3 to 10 years old) from the same household. Each parent completed select items from the Child Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ) with a trained interviewer. Child BMI z-score was calculated.
Results
There was a significant, positive relationship between fathers' perceived child weight and child BMI z-score (p = 0.006) and between fathers' concern for a child's future weight and child BMI z-score (p = 0.001) but not among mothers.
Conclusions
Cohabitating low-income parents of young children may have conflicting appraisals of their child's BMI z-score and concerns for their child's future weight, and low-income fathers may be more accurate and concerned about their children's weight.Link for e-copy: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-pediatric-nursing/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27633 [article] Comparing Low-income Mothers' and Fathers' Concern for Young Children's Weight [printed text] / Vollme, Rachel L.

Title : Falls After Ophthalmological Surgery Experience Among the Community-Dwelling Elderly in Japan Material Type: printed text Authors: Eto, Maki, Author ; Miyauch, Shinji, Author Publication Date: 2018 Article on page: p.1-9 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)

Abstract: Community-dwelling elderly are likely to fall even after ophthalmological surgery. To identify the association between falls and ophthalmological surgery and screening experiences among the community-dwelling elderly in Japan, a cross-sectional descriptive study examined 159 community-dwelling people aged ≥ 65 years about an extensive physical assessment, health status, experience of falls, and ophthalmic situations. In this city, the study identified an association between falls and both ophthalmological surgery experience and voluntary attendance at ophthalmic screening among the community-dwelling elderly. Japanese public health nurses should be a bridge between community-dwelling elderly and ophthalmologists in the community to promote attendance at ophthalmic screening.

Abstract: The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Healthy Families, a family-based community intervention, in improving the knowledge, self-efficacy, and health behaviors of overweight/obese children and their families as well as to explore the lessons learned. Results showed families who completed the program had significant improvements for children and parents in areas such as nutrition knowledge and self-efficacy in making healthy eating choices as well as participating in physical activity. Additionally, families reported decreasing their intake of sugar-sweetened beverages. Participating families and community partners provided valuable lessons for other communities seeking to implement a similar program.

Title : Implementation of a School Nurse-led Intervention for : Children With Severe Obesity in New York City Schools Material Type: printed text Authors: Schroede, Krista, Author ; Jia, Haomiao, Author ; Wang, Claire, Author ; Smaldone, Arlene, Author ; Metrics, PlumX, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.10-15 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Journal of Pediatric Nursing > Vol.35 No.4 (Jul-Aug) 2017 [09/04/2017] . - p.10-15Keywords: Childhood obesity, Nursing, School nursing, School health. Abstract: Purpose
The Healthy Options and Physical Activity Program (HOP) is a school nurse-led intervention for children with severe obesity. HOP was developed by experts at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and implemented in New York City schools beginning in 2012. The purpose of this study was to evaluate HOP implementation with the goal of informing HOP refinement and potential future HOP dissemination.
Design and Methods
This study entailed a retrospective analysis of secondary data. Analytic methods included descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon rank sum and Chi square tests, and multivariate logistic regression.
Results
During the 2012–2013 school year, 20,518 children were eligible for HOP. Of these, 1054 (5.1%) were enrolled in the program. On average, enrolled children attended one HOP session during the school year. Parent participation was low (3.2% of HOP sessions). Low nurse workload, low school poverty, higher grade level, higher BMI percentile, and chronic illness diagnosis were associated with student enrollment in HOP.
Conclusions
As currently delivered, HOP is not likely to be efficacious. Lessons learned from this evaluation are applicable to future nurse-led obesity interventions.Link for e-copy: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-pediatric-nursing/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27436 [article] Implementation of a School Nurse-led Intervention for : Children With Severe Obesity in New York City Schools [printed text] / Schroede, Krista, Author ; Jia, Haomiao, Author ; Wang, Claire, Author ; Smaldone, Arlene, Author ; Metrics, PlumX, Author . - 2017 . - p.10-15.

Title : Parents' Underestimations of Child Weight : Implications for Obesity Prevention Material Type: printed text Authors: Howe, Carol J., Author ; Alexande, Gina, Author ; Stevenson, Jada, Author Publication Date: 2018 Article on page: p.57-61 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Journal of Pediatric Nursing > Vol.37 No.6 (Nov-Dec) 2017 [03/29/2018] . - p.57-61Keywords: Childhood overweight, Childhood obesity, Parent perception of weight status, Health literacy Abstract: Purpose
Obesity prevention efforts may be ineffective if parents lack awareness of their children's overweight status.
This study examined the factors that predicted parents'underestimation of child weight status.
Design and Methods
Using a cross sectional design, researchers recruited children and parents in a local children's museum. Parents completed a demographic questionnaire, the Newest Vital Sign, and the Child Body Image Scale. Children's height and weight were measured to calculate child BMI. Random effects modeling examined the association between predictor variables (parent race/ethnicity, income, education, and health literacy, and child BMI percentile, gender, and age) and the dependent variable, parent underestimation of child weight status.
Results
Participants included 160 parents (213 children aged 7–12 years) representing a racially and ethnically diverse sample who were affluent, educated, and with 36.6% of parents assessed with limited health literacy. Although 45.1% of children were overweight/obese, only 7.5% of parents chose this weight status; 80% of parents underestimated the weight of their normal weight children, 96% underestimated their overweight children, and 72% underestimated their obese children. Parents were more likely to underestimate weight of older children and those under 81st percentile of BMI. No other predictors were significant.
Conclusions
Parent underestimation of child weight status appears to be a widespread phenomenon in this sample, regardless of race, ethnicity, income, education, and health literacy.Link for e-copy: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-pediatric-nursing/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27624 [article] Parents' Underestimations of Child Weight : Implications for Obesity Prevention [printed text] / Howe, Carol J., Author ; Alexande, Gina, Author ; Stevenson, Jada, Author . - 2018 . - p.57-61.

Title : Social Determinants of Overweight and Obesity Rates : Elementary School in a Predominantly Hispanic School District Material Type: printed text Authors: Santom, Richard, Author ; Huerta, Gabriel, Author ; Kark, Menuka, Author Publication Date: 2018 Article on page: p.8-12 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Journal of Pediatric Nursing > Vol.37 No.6 (Nov-Dec) 2017 [03/29/2018] . - p.8-12Keywords: Hispanics, Overweight and obesity, Social determinants, Elementary school Abstract: Objective
This study analyzes the social determinants associated with the overweight or obesity prevalence of 85 elementary schools during the 2010–11 academic year in a predominantly Hispanic school district.
Methods
A binomial logistic regression is used to analyze the aggregate overweight or obesity rate of a school by the percent of Hispanic students in each school, selected school and neighborhood characteristics, and its geographical location.
Results
The proportion of Hispanic enrollment more readily explains a school's aggregate overweight or obesity rate than social determinants or spatial location. Number of fast food establishments and the academic ranking of a school appear to slightly impact the aggregate prevalence rate. Spatial location of school is not a significant factor, controlling for other determinants.
Conclusions
An elementary school's overall overweight or obesity rate provides a valuable health indicator to study the social determinants of obesity among Hispanics and other students within a local neighborhood.Link for e-copy: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-pediatric-nursing/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27616 [article] Social Determinants of Overweight and Obesity Rates : Elementary School in a Predominantly Hispanic School District [printed text] / Santom, Richard, Author ; Huerta, Gabriel, Author ; Kark, Menuka, Author . - 2018 . - p.8-12.
