How can you be sure your patients understand the health information you pass on to them? By focusing on health literacy, doctors, nurses and other clinicians can better help patients comprehend complex health information-something of critical importance given today’s transformative healthcare environment.
Pugos Nutrition for Protection of Malnutrition among Children IIJSRJournal
Malnutrition in early childhood is linked to deficits in the cognitive development of children. Stunting in children delays school enrolment and is found to be associated with grade repetition and a higher dropout in primary school children. Children who suffered from early malnutrition were also found to have greater behavioural problems. Deficiency of micronutrients such as iron, iodine and zinc is associated with a lower attention span, poor memory, mental retardation and poor school achievement.
Continuous low nutritional intake combined with poor access to healthcare is likely to impact on children’s psychological development in terms of attentiveness, emotional expression, motivation, learning ability and school performance. Nutrition is interconnected with the environment, psychological health, health and education. Considering these issues separately results in an incomplete understanding of poverty and a reduced ability to ameliorate problems.
Malnutrition must be considered alongside other factors in childhood development. Psychosocial stimulation received by the children seems to make a significant contribution in alleviating the effects of malnutrition. Several studies show that nutritional supplementation when combined with stimulation has substantial benefits for cognitive development.
Children who experience under nutrition are also likely to grow up in an under-stimulated social and psychological environment and it is the complex interaction between these factors that causes cognitive deficits. Since it is difficult to unravel the complexity of the mechanisms and sift out the effect of psycho-social stimulation, it is difficult to establish the existence of a causal relationship between under-nutrition alone and cognitive development of children. The present Article Reviews the role of Malnutrition among children in India & its impact on their cognitive development.
The ICF concept of health provides perspectives on people’s lives through the lens of functioning. This view of health promotes an integration of a patient’s body functions
and structures, activities performed in daily life, and the personal and social roles that constitute their participation in life situations.
Service providers (health, education, welfare) engaged in the habilitation process have varied disciplinary language, training and culture that all emphasize certain
domains of patient’s functioning over others. However, adoption of the ICF allows that all members of a clinical team are motivated to improve their patient’s functioning
within a common conceptual approach. This can be used to describe the different goals of intervention, negotiate priorities and communicate among different disciplines
and with patients and parents.
The ICF has potential to improve communication and collaboration (through its universal concepts and language) among health professionals working within multidisciplinary teams in research and practice to impact health outcomes for patients. Thus, it is timely for clinicians and trainees working in health-related fields to incorporate its framework into practice and research. It is hoped that professional programs will model our approach to develop similar courses within their professional curriculum to build capacity for application of the ICF. Education and training through a combination of peer support and mentorship for health professionals in the use of the ICF could assist with facilitating its uptake.

Core Communication Competencies in
Patient-Centered Care
Abstract: Effective communication between the patient
and nurse is an essential requirement for nursing practice
and for patient-centered care. Nursing faculty that teach
in undergraduate and graduate nursing programs play
a signiflcant role in preparing the nursing workforce to
communicate effectively and provide patient-centered care.
Patient-centered care, interprofessional collaboration, and
informatics are necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes
for nurses across educational levels in order to meet the
needs of patients, and improve the quality and safety of the
health care system environment. The focus of this article is to
provide information on core nursing competencies for effective
communication and to discuss communication tools used in
patient-centered care, interprofessional collaboration, and
informatics.
Key Words: Communication, Nurse, Patient-Centered Care,
Interprofessional Collaboration, Informatics
In the last decade the Institute of Medicine (IOM) hasreleased reports that address quality and safety in healthcare systems, health professions and nursing (IOM, 1999,
2001,2003a, 2003b, 2010). A core component of quality care
is patient-centered care. Patient centered care is care based on
a partnership between the patient, their families, and the health
care provider that is focused on the patient's values, preferences,
and needs. Effective communication between the patient and
health professionals is an essential requirement for patient-
centered care (IOM, 2001). Furthermore, health professions
education should include core competencies in patient-centered
care in order to meet the needs of patients and the changing
health care system (IOM, 2003a). Nursing faculty play a
significant role in preparing the nursing workforce to provide
patient-centered care and to communicate effectively. Patient-
centered care, interprofessional collaboration, and informatics
are necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs) for pre-
licensure nurses and nurses returning for graduate education in
order to communicate effectively and to improve the quality and
safety of the health care system environment (Cronenwett, et
al., 2007; Cronenvvett,et al.,2009; Massachusetts Department of
Higher Education Nurse of the Future Competency Committee,
2010)). This article will synthesize core nursing competencies
The ABNF Journal
for effective communication and patient-centered care and
discuss communication tools used in patient-centered care,
interprofessional collaboration, and informatics. Existing
communication competencies from nursing and health
professional resources are interrelated and important for
nursing faculty in curriculum development, and it is equally
important for nursing students to comprehend the concept of
communication when providing patient-centered care.

Health care needs of returning military and their families
Deployment, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), balancing family with long work hours are all part of an everyday military life. Mental, physical and social changes occur on a daily basis, affecting the health care needs of our military. However, events and issues like these can affect veterans and their families throughout their lives, even though they deserve the best, veterans can be neglected. From personal experience, military life is unique. A community within a community, fighting for our nation’s best interest. This paper reflects how we as nurses can be the best advocate for them.
Health Care Needs
Looking at health needs of veterans and their families, they can be physical, psychological or psychosocial. Physical includes combat injury which links closely with psychological concerns including PTSD and substance abuse: drugs and alcohol (
Spelman
, Hunt, Seal &
Burgo
-Black, 2012). Psychosocial effects the family directly, including marital, financial instability and social isolation. Together all these have a significant impact on the everyday life, and the reorientation from deployments and adjustment back into the community (
Spelman
et
al
., 2012).
Nurse Advocate for Military
Nurses are in the
frontline
of health care. Therefore, nurses are in the critical position to speak out and be the best advocate for our clients (Laureate, 2012). However, providing safe and high-quality health care is a collaboration effort, working in unity with other health care professionals and administrators (
Milstead
, 2016). The American Nurses Association (ANA) operates in unison with the Veterans Health Administration and the Department of Defense as advocates to improve veterans’ health care needs. Another valuable advocacy agency is Mental Health America; with over 200 associates in 41 States, they provide both current and former military with information to prevent the stigma related to mental health issues like PTSD and addiction, assisting in the reintegrating into family life (Mental Health America, 2016). With nurses working in unison with organizations like these, promotes success for implementing and changing public health policy.

5. How Can IPE…
Help us empower
patients/clients/consumers to build
their health literacy
Create more effective, efficient
healthcare services?
Produce health and human service
professionals who provide
patient/client/consumer centered care?
6. Through IPE, students can learn
to:
Collaborate to ensure effective
education of
patients/clients/consumers
Decrease medical errors that
frequently occur from lack of
communication/lack of coordination
Learn to see each other as resources
and as professionals who have
different contributions to make
That together, IP teams can
accomplish more than any 1 discipline
alone
7. Example: Interprofessional
Collaboration on the Run
University of British Columbia
Well developed series on interprofessional
education covering comprehensive aspects
Interprofessional Collaborative Learning series
Covers key issues including role
clarification, collaborative leadership and shared
decision-making, team functioning, and conflict
management.
Videos on key topics bring home important
issues, including health literacy levels and how the
provider and system can make a difference.
8. Example: Interprofessional
Collaboration on a Global Level
Thomas Jefferson
Rwanda Health University Project (est. 2005)
and Healing
sends interprofessional teams to Rwanda to
meet the health needs of refugees.
Health literacy goals include training Rwandan
professionals in health & hygiene and educating
people about nutrition & HIV/AIDS.
One example of how interprofessional
collaboration & health literacy can be used
together to address global health inequalities.
