The Effects Of 24r, 25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 And 24s, 25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 On Phosphate Transport In Vivo, Yu Meng
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
This research studied the effects of the two isomers of 24,25(OH)2D3 on phosphate absorption in vivo to increase our understanding of the effects of 24,25(OH)2D3 on phosphate transport in vivo, and its two isomers. The current work demonstrates that 24R,25(OH)2D3 is capable of decreasing phosphate absorption after a 1h injection in vivo and 24S,25(OH)2D3 can increase phosphate absorption after a 5h injection, but this stimulation disappears at time points after 5h.
Since 24,25(OH)2D3 is made in vitamin D-replete animals, the observation that 24R,25(OH)2D …

Development Of An Instrument Measuring The Perceived Attributes Of Using A Healthy Diet Innovation, Holly Ann Federico Huye
Dissertations
The Lower Mississippi Delta (LMD) is a rural region that is rich in agricultural resources but is one of the most impoverished areas in the US. Prior research has indicated LMD adults as having higher rates of obesity and diet-related chronic diseases as compared to US adults. While the need for dietary intervention in the LMD is evident, the first step in designing effective interventions is the assessment of one’s perceptions of dietary behaviors. The purpose of this research was to develop a valid and reliable instrument to assess individuals’ perceived attributes of using a healthy diet. Using the Diffusion …

A Formative Evaluation For A Food Choices Intervention In A Mississippi Delta Community: A Focus Group Of Rural African American Adolescents, Jovan Chantrell Eugene Williams
Master's Theses
A needs assessment should be conducted to plan effective interventions. This study used a qualitative research approach to examine the eating patterns, food purchasing and preparation skills and practices, barriers and facilitators of dietary change, social and contextual influences on food choices, and preferences for communication and presentation channels and styles of low-income rural African American adolescents. Seven focus groups were conducted with a total of 33 participants, 21 girls and 12 boys, aged 13-18. Adolescents were grouped by age and gender. A moderator, who was trained in focus group methodology, conducted the session using a focus group discussion guide …
Latent Growth Modeling Of A Nutrition And Physical Activity Intervention, Alicia Dea Sample
Latent Growth Modeling Of A Nutrition And Physical Activity Intervention, Alicia Dea Sample
Dissertations
The health, economic, and social impacts of physical inactivity and unhealthy dietary patterns are quite significant and evidenced by the fact that only 3-4% of American adults follow all the dietary advice recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA; Kohatsu, Robinson, & Torner, 2004), and specific subpopulations, including the rural South, are affected even more drastically (McCabe-Sellers et al., 2007). Furthermore, the majority of the people in the United States do not currently meet recommended amounts of physical activity (PA) and have not since the mid 1980s (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [USDHHS], 2008). To address the …

Improving Patient Satisfaction In A Hospital Foodservice System Using Low-Cost Interventions: Determining Whether A Room Service System Is The Next Step, Vanessa A. Theurer
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
A survey was used to assess patient foodservice satisfaction at an acute care hospital. Results were then used to identify the lowest scoring areas of foodservice. Low-cost interventions were implemented to address the areas of needed improvement. Patient satisfaction was reassessed by re-issuing surveys. Group T-tests were used to compare the results of the baseline and follow-up surveys (P
Curricular Competencies Related To Cultural Competence For The Education And Training Of Registered Dietitians, Tegan Jean Medico
Curricular Competencies Related To Cultural Competence For The Education And Training Of Registered Dietitians, Tegan Jean Medico
Masters Theses
Increasing demographic diversity, persistent health disparities, and ongoing efforts to reduce health care costs have made cultural and linguistic competence in the United States health care system a premier concern. Integral to improving cultural competence in health care is providing health professionals with adequate education and training in cultural competence. For this reason, there has been increasing attention paid by academia across health-related disciplines and by national organizations and governmental health agencies to delineating what cultural competence in education and training entails. Though a multidisciplinary body of literature on developing curricula related to cultural competence for health professionals exists, still …

Relationship Between Nursing Home Size And Their Dietetic Support Effort, Kyla Bacon
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
Background: While nursing homes in Oklahoma are required to utilize a Registered Dietitian (RD) or Qualified Nutritionist, there are no specifications for minimum utilization. Objectives: Investigate how Oklahoma nursing homes determine RD utilization and whether a relationship exists between resident census and RD availability. Design: Questionnaires focused on RD work patterns were sent to 150 Oklahoma nursing homes.
Results: Nursing homes with a resident census of 50, 51-100, and 101 employed a RD for approximately 7. 9, 7.3, and 56.3 hours/month, respectively. The RD is the primary decision maker in determining hours worked, followed closely by corporate staff and governmental …
An Examination Of Oral Fed Post-Trauma Patients For Calorie And Protein Consumption As A Percentage Of Estimated Needs, And How It Impacts Length Of Hospital Stay And Wound Healing, Jamie Marchio
UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Due to rising costs of healthcare, clinicians are responsible for decreasing costs by providing care that moves the patient from injury, to recovery, to discharge within a matter of just a few days. The Registered Dietitian is responsible for the nutrition assessment and nutrition diagnosis, nutrition prescription and plan, and for monitoring the patient to achieve nutritional repletion within this short time frame. Concerns for patients who require nursing staff and caregivers for feeding are evident, especially when increased demands are being placed on the nursing staff. This study aims to determine whether or not “feeder patients” are at a …

The Relationship Of Preschool Children's Television Viewing, Food/Brand Recognition/Recall, Weight Classification, And Parent's Knowledge Of American Academy Of Pediatrics' Recommendations Of Daily Television Viewing, Patricia Marley Howell
UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The prevention of childhood obesity during the formative years is necessary because dietary patterns influenced by parents are developed early. A major obstacle to healthy feeding patterns in children is television advertising. The study tested three hypotheses. 1) Preschool children ages two to five years who watch more television are able to recognize/recall more food brands than those who view less television. 2) An increase in food brand recognition/recall in preschool children is associated with an overweight classification based on calculated Body Mass Index. 3) Children of parents who are unaware of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommendations for …
Pilot Study: Barriers To Whole Grain Consumption Among Diabetics Of German Heritage, Nicole Erickson
Pilot Study: Barriers To Whole Grain Consumption Among Diabetics Of German Heritage, Nicole Erickson
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
Whole grains play a cost-effective role in the treatment and prevention of type 2 diabetes, yet consumption remains well below recommendations. This pilot study showed that nonfamilial environmental factors have a strong influence on whole grain consumption among type 2 diabetics of German descent. Dietary records and grain questionnaires were used to probe subjects’ knowledge of the benefits of whole grains, reasons for grain preferences, and actual consumption. For this population (n=18), mean whole grain consumption ( = 48±30 g/d = 3±2 servings/d) was much higher than the national average (μ ≤ 1 serving/d). Misunderstanding of labels negatively influenced whole …
