Abstract

Context: Adolescence is a period of transition and is associated with the risk of many nutrition and health-related problems. Teachers and grass root level health service providers i.e., multi-purpose health workers, being the key stakeholders, are expected to provide them nutrition and health guidance. Aims: To assess nutrition and health guidance to adolescents by their school teachers and multipurpose health workers. Settings and Design: It was a cross-sectional study conducted in rural block in the field practice area attached to Department of Community Medicine, Pt BD Sharma PGIMS Rohtak (India). Materials and Methods: All the multipurpose health workers (males and females) [i.e., MPHW (M and F)] who were working in the study area i.e., those posted at the sub-centers, Primary Health Centers, or Community Health Centers for more than 6 months were included in the study. For selecting the teachers, 4 large schools with strength of more than 250 students (2 Girls and 2 Boys Senior Secondary Schools) were randomly selected by simple random sampling. All the teachers who were teaching the standards 9 to 12 in those schools were also enrolled in the study. Thus, the study population comprised of 49 and 94 such workers and teachers, respectively. Data were collected with the help of predesigned, pre-tested, and semi-structured schedules by interviewing the study subjects. Statistical Analysis Used: Proportions, chi square test, Fisher exact test Results and Conclusion: Only 58/94 (61.7%) and 40/94 (42.6%) teachers stated to have provided guidance on substance abuse and HIV/AIDS/STDs/RTIs/Menstrual hygiene, respectively. Surprisingly, 35/49 (71.4%) workers provided guidance on nutrition and anemia to the adolescents, whereas only 10/49 (20.4%) and 11/49 (22.4%) workers provided the guidance on substance abuse and HIV/AIDS/STDs/RTIs/Menstrual hygiene, respectively.

Jhajjar(哈里亚纳邦)农村地区教师和多用途保健工作者向青少年提供营养和健康指导的模式
背景:青春期是一个过渡时期,与许多营养和健康相关问题的风险有关。教师和基层保健服务提供者,即多用途保健工作者,作为关键的利益攸关方,应向他们提供营养和健康指导。目的:评估学校教师和多功能卫生工作者对青少年的营养和健康指导。环境和设计:这是一项横断面研究,在附属于社区医学系的农村地区进行,Pt BD Sharma PGIMS Rohtak(印度)。材料和方法:所有在研究区域工作的多用途卫生工作者(男性和女性)[即MPHW (M和F)],即在分中心、初级卫生中心或社区卫生中心工作超过6个月的人员纳入研究。在教师的选择上,采用简单随机抽样的方法,随机抽取4所规模较大、学生人数在250人以上的学校(2所女中,2所男中)。所有在这些学校教授9至12年级标准课程的老师也都参加了这项研究。因此,研究人群分别由49名工人和94名教师组成。通过访谈研究对象,采用预先设计、预先测试和半结构化的时间表收集数据。结果与结论:分别只有58/94(61.7%)和40/94(42.6%)的教师表示对药物滥用和艾滋病毒/艾滋病/性病/生殖道感染/月经卫生进行了指导。令人惊讶的是,35/49(71.4%)的工作人员为青少年提供营养和贫血方面的指导,而分别只有10/49(20.4%)和11/49(22.4%)的工作人员提供药物滥用和艾滋病毒/艾滋病/性病/生殖道感染/月经卫生方面的指导。
