It was never studied in the local setting despite the higher prevalence/incidence reported in other countries . Objectives: To determine effectiveness of an educational intervention to improve knowledge and attitudes to develop healthy dating relationships among undergraduates in selected state universities in Western Province Methods: This was done as a quasi-experimental study where an educational intervention was implemented to improve knowledge and attitudes to develop healthy dating relationships. Experimental and control groups were purposively selected from two different universities. The sample size calculated for each group was 65. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire at pre-intervention and six months post-intervention. The intervention comprised a lecture on “Dating relationships and dating violence” followed by discussions on case scenarios and a distribution of a booklet entitled “Healthy Relationships” among study participants. The control group was only given a lecture entitled “Time management, sexual and reproductive health and psychological well-being”. The effectiveness of the intervention between groups was calculated using chi-square test and within the group improvement using McNemar test. Results: Response rate was 91% (262/288) at the screening stage. There was a significant (p<0.01) improvement in good knowledge on dating violence and in favourable attitudes (p=0.001) on dating violence, gender stereotypes and gender roles, in the experimental group compared to the control group at six months post-intervention. Conclusions & Recommendations : The educational intervention conducted proved to be effective in improving knowledge and attitudes. Recommend the application of educational intervention among the university students to develop healthy dating relationships.","PeriodicalId":120205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the College of Community Physicians of Sri Lanka","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115396834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gunathunga","doi":"10.4038/jccpsl.v28i2.8471","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4038/jccpsl.v28i2.8471","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Moringa ( Moringa oleifera ) is a plant found in many regions. Its extracts, especially of leaves are a rich source of fibre, proteins and micronutrients including iron, thus potentially used for haematological applications including iron deficiency anaemia affecting approximately one-third of the global population. Objectives: To systematically review the effect of M. oleifera on haematological parameters Methods: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) guidelines were followed. PubMed, Cochrane library, Agricola, CINAHL and EMBASE databases were searched. Selection of articles were done in with three screening questions by two independent reviewers intervened by a third, resolving conflicts. Human studies on Moringa with relevant outcomes were included. Risk of bias assessment was done with Grading of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation (GRADE) Criteria. Heterogeneity was assessed and results were narratively synthesized without meta-analysis. Registration from International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (ID: CRD42020181432) was obtained. Results: Following de-duplication, there were 215 articles. Eight studies on M. oleifera leaf extracts, covering nine outcomes were included (four studies on children below 2 years and two each on pregnant women and reproductive & postmenopausal women). Among children under 2 years, mean improvement in haemoglobin level ranged between 0.31-2.6 g/dl, with a reduction of the prevalence of anaemia by 53% (95% CI=35.1, 72.0; p<0.001). Haemoglobin level among anaemic women in reproductive ages showed an improvement with a mean difference (MD) of 0.794 (SD=0.81) (p<0.05) in the interventional group and of 0.644 (SD=0.83) in the control group. Postmenopausal women showed a significant improvement of 17.5% in haemoglobin compared to baseline (p≤0.01). Two studies showed improvements in ferritin levels with an MD of 29.378 ng/mL (SD=42.48; p=0.012) among anaemic women and 31.9 (SD=23.8) among children under 2 years. One study showed an improvement in the MD of erythrocyte count (0.482; SD=2.26), hematocrit (0.947; SD=4.56), MCV (0.635; SD=11.22), MCH (1.312; SD=4.94), MCHC (2.459; SD=2.86) and RDW (1.4; SD=2.07) compared to the control group. Among the pregnant women, improvements in both MCH and MCV were statistically significant in the intervention group (p<0.05). Conclusions & Recommendations: Moringa leaf extracts as a natural supplement is seemingly useful for improving haematological parameters, especially the haemoglobin level among children and female adults.","PeriodicalId":120205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the College of Community Physicians of Sri Lanka","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121484160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
