: Food insecurity affects people of all ages, in every area which nurses work or volunteer. The U.S. Department Agriculture describes food as the lack "consistent, dependable access to adequate for active, healthy living." health effects include, but are not limited to, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, low birth weight, depression, and anxiety. is associated with single parenthood, socioeconomic status, having three more children, educational attainment, being a member racial ethnic...
Environmental justice (EJ) is the concept that all people and communities, regardless of their race socioeconomic status, are entitled to enjoy an equally clean environment resources. Communities where residents face environmental injustice a higher risk being exposed hazards due race, ethnicity, status called EJ communities. The purpose this manuscript provide example nurses' involvement in observation, assessment, intervention community using community-based participatory research (CBPR)...
Pregnancy is a particularly vulnerable time for exposure to indoor air pollutants, such as formaldehyde (FA), which linked spontaneous abortion, congenital malformations, and premature birth.To determine personal FA during pregnancy, identify the relationship between levels potential residential sources of FA.The study sample consisted 140 pregnant women recruited from obstetrical clinics in Huntsville, Alabama. Formaldehyde was measured by vapor monitor badges. Questionnaires were...
Abstract Objective Globally, indoor and outdoor pollutants are leading risk factors for death reduced quality of life. Few theories explicitly address environmental health within the nursing discipline with a focus on harmful exposures. The objective here is to expand National Institutes Health Symptom Science Model include concepts endotype (causative pathway) exposure. Design Meleis’ research theory strategy refinement was used. Research workshop proceedings, expert consensus, panelist...
In the United States, there are more than 120,000 nail salons in which workers could be potentially exposed to a number of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) used various procedures. Measuring exposure field is time-consuming and very expensive. The purpose this study was estimate VOC levels proximity through simulating application process some popular polishes laboratory chamber. worst-case scenario defined as worker's during polish one set fingernails every 15 minutes for an 8-hour shift...
Although humans spend a majority of their lives in indoor environments, air quality is immensely understudied, compared to ambient air. Here, we show the first long-term measurements household PM concentrations southeastern United States, for one year (May 2019 through April 2020) covering COVID-19 hard-lockdown period (March and 2020). Particle size distributions between 0.25–35 µm were measured with low-cost sensor, which does not utilize hazardous chemicals radiation sources ideal...
Abstract Environmental justice (EJ) means socially and economically disadvantaged communities citizens are entitled to an equally clean environment resources enjoy. EJ mostly located close polluters such as Superfund sites, coal‐fired power plants landfills more likely be exposed higher levels of environmental hazards than the U.S. population on average. It is often a difficult task identify in without using specific screening tools. Therefore, goal this manuscript introduce public health...
Falls among the older adults (64+ years old [YO]) are considered public health issues. However, fall prevention in middle adulthood (age 45-64) has received less attention. We studied associations between number of falls and fall-related injuries indicators for socio-demographics, chronic diseases, difficulties conducting activities two age groups, 45-64 YO 64+. In this secondary data analysis, we used Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) 2018 data. The study showed respondents...
Unmanned aircraft systems, commonly referred to as drones, are emerging a possible solution for medical emergencies and health care in remote areas. Drones small aircraft; some enough fit the palm of hand, but they can be much larger. must registered with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA, 2021) if weigh more than 0.55 pounds, cannot 55 pounds including payload. These look like helicopters four eight rotary wings vertical lift landings. used primarily search rescue missions transport...
Sexuality education is essential for children and adolescents to make better choices regarding their sexual well-being. Parents, teachers, healthcare providers are not always comfortable talking school-age about sex, making sexuality a concept of interest be explored. The purpose this paper explain the in school-aged adolescents.
Background The utilization of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in healthcare presents an innovative and effective approach for the delivery emergency medical supplies to rural communities. Providing students with opportunities work UAS prepares them embrace novel technologies their future careers. Caring individuals living communities those substance abuse disorders are critical components current education. Intervention This simulation ready-to-use describes learning exercise (SLE) developed...
ABSTRACT Health care–associated infections ( HAI s) cost billions of dollars annually in the United States and cause patient morbidity mortality. There is increasing evidence that environmental surfaces OR setting, including anesthesia work areas, can harbor pathogens lead to s. Patient‐care equipment used routinely , such as electrocardiograph wires, blood pressure cuffs, pulse oximetry probes, monitor cables, become contaminated with during surgical procedures; without proper cleaning...
