A Comparative study between Different Treatment Modalities of Floating Knee injury At Aswan University Hospital
Authors: Salman Mohamed , Gamal Ahmed M. , Ebrahim Ebeed Yassen , Refae Hesham Hamed
Published: March 2022

Purpose: The study aimed at presenting a comparison between the modalities of treatment different of floating knee injury at Aswan University Hospital.
 Materials and Methods:  This study is a prospective study including all of our 20 cases of floating knee injuries who were treated utilizing various treatment modalities at Aswan University Hospital between December 2018 and September 2019 with a follow-up period of 12 months
 Results: Based on the data analysis,  nailing is a better modality in floating knee injury (especially with diaphyseal long bone). Moreover, plating is a good choice for distal fractures, the external fixator is considered a choice for limb saving(as in popliteal ischemia, open fractures(OG3), and compartment syndrome).
 Conclusion: Management of floating knee injury is critical as floating knee injury is not like other fractures. Floating knee injuries are serious injuries with a high rate of complications. Besides being caused by high-energy trauma with extensive skeletal and soft tissue damage, they are also associated with potentially life-threatening injuries of the head, chest, and abdomen. There are multiple controversies in surgical management starting from choosing suitable fixation for each patient according to variable conditions.  Floating knee injury remains a challenging orthopedic problem in which regaining good knee function outcome is a major concern. Stable osteosynthesis to achieve rigid fixation and early mobilization should always be attempted.

An Assessment of the Effects of Climate Change Pattern on Food Security and the Coping Strategies of the Rural Communities in Monze District of Zambia
Authors: Mafwela Bornface
Published: March 2022

This research is based on ‘assessing the effects of the changing climate pattern on food security in Monze district of Southern province of Zambia’. Its main purpose was to investigate compatibility issues related to improved crop varieties and how resilient the local community of Monze district in Southern province of Zambia respond to shocks as a result of changes in climate pattern. The study was guided by the following main research question ‘What are some of the compatibility issues related to improved crop varieties and how do indigenous people respond to the effects of climate change in Monze district of Southern part of Zambia?’ Both primary and secondary data were employed to collect the data used for analysis to birth this thesis. Data was gathered using semi-structured interviews, focus group interviews, weight measurement of the U5s, and content analysis. Content analysis is a method of qualitative data analysis. Research participants included: key informants obtained from community leaders as well as officials from the Ministry of Agriculture & Cooperatives, Ministry of Lands and Natural resources, Ministry of National Planning & Budgeting under the department of Climate Change, women and men drawn from the emerging and small-scale farmers. Relevant literature from books, academic papers, journals, newspapers and the internet were used. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to interpret and further explain the facts on changing climate patterns and the security of food. The results show that the district of Monze has been experiencing severe climatic changes making the inhabitants to initiate other several coping mechanisms. On the other hand, the results show that the rural dwellers of Monze district continued for over 3 years experiencing fluid food security (not static) and that 83 percent of this rural district had their food nutrition compromised. This is because most of the rural communities rely more on rain fed agriculture for survival, and in times when food was insecure, they opted to charcoal burning for sale, sending their children to other relatives in big cities for school, men marry several wives as cheap labour and opt to heavy drinking habits. Based on these findings, the study concluded that mean annual temperature and rainfall were not the main determinants of the rural household food security situation in Monze district. To deal with this contribution of effects of climatic change on food security, the study recommends that rural households begin to adopt other crops other than maize that can perform well under the prevailing climatic conditions. It is further recommended that the rural dwellers of Monze district should embark on other alternative ways of livelihoods and also consider running their agriculture enterprises as a business venture (typically for profit).

Authors: Jimenez Angela Corazon D. , Napa Noel Nathaniel , Dy Ching Bing–Agsaoay Dorothy
Published: March 2022

A 22-year-old male who came in contact with a high-voltage wire, with entry point at the head and exit points at the ankles, presented with flaccid paraplegia and loss of sensation of bilateral lower extremities with no radiographic abnormalities. Several burn-related medical complications arose during the admission, as well as episodes of demotivation. Bilateral below the knee amputation was done because of extensive burn injuries of the lower extremities. The rehabilitation management for a patient with multiple disabilities needed to be tailored depending on the limitations and needs of the patient at a certain point in time. Despite the challenges, satisfactory results were achieved, through telerehabilitation and employing a multidisciplinary team approach.
Clinical Utility of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Localizing Heterotopic Ossification of the Hip in a Patient with Chronic Burns: A Case Report
Authors: Manalili Lawrence G. , Dy Ching Bing-Agsaoay Dorothy O. , Leochico Carl Froilan D.
Published: March 2022

Patients with burns are predisposed to heterotopic ossification and contracture formation. While radiographs and bone scans are used to detect heterotopic ossification, musculoskeletal ultrasound can be used to diagnose and localize the lesion in patients with contractures. A 14-year-old girl with multiple contractures of the limbs from thermal burn injury sustained three years ago underwent in-patient rehabilitation in a sub-acute burn rehabilitation unit. Despite close monitoring and daily therapy sessions, the patient had minimal improvement in the range of motion of bilateral hips. Musculoskeletal ultrasound demonstrated hyperechogenic focus on the posterolateral aspect of the bilateral hips. This report documents the advantage of diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound in localizing and guiding the treatment of heterotopic ossification in a burn patient with contractures.

Published: March 2022

Introduction. This study was conducted with an objective to determine the ways librarians deal with fake news, as well as to assess the status of their news literacy skills in combating the fake news phenomenon. Method. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in public and private sector university libraries of Punjab, Pakistan. The study’s population comprised of university librarians working at the rank of an assistant librarian or above. Analysis. One hundred and eighty questionnaires were distributed in both print and online out of which 128 were returned (response rate 71.11%).Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied to report the data using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS-version 22). Results. Librarians ‘sometimes’ determine the authenticity of news story e.g., ‘check it from other sources in case of doubts.’ The responses for all the eleven statements relating to news literacy skills ranged between 3.05 to 3.36 on a five-point Likert type scale, indicating that respondents ‘somewhat’ agreed with their perceived news literacy skills. Conclusions.University librarians are not fully acquainted with the aspect of news trustworthiness on social media, which affects their news acceptance and sharing behaviour. They also have a moderate level of conceptual understanding of news literacy.
Integrating models and integrated models: towards a unified model of information seeking behaviour
Authors:   Simmons University, Agarwal Naresh Kumar
Published: March 2022

Introduction. There has been a proliferation of information seeking models and theories, each incorporating different viewpoints, concepts, and terminology. While there have been prior attempts at integration, they have all focused on different facets of information seeking behaviour. Method / Analysis. In this paper, I integrate models and frameworks in information seeking behaviour. I considered three groups of models: those that emerged in the 1980s and the 1990s; those from the year 2000 onwards; and integrated models. I mapped the important elements in the chosen models to each other. The unified subset of these elements was then used to create the unified model. Results. I arrive at tables comparing the common elements in different models, a unified model of information seeking behaviour, and examples of propositions derived from the model. The unified model was finally extended to include information behaviour, other than seeking and searching. Conclusions. The unified model should contribute to theory development by drawing attention to the common features and functions of elements in various models. The process of mapping could help researchers synthesise models and create a meta-model, and also serve as a methodological move of taking the work of a theorist and mapping other models to it. The unified model will help system designers view user needs, context, and their information seeking behaviour as central to building context-aware systems.

Published: March 2022

Introduction. Recommender systems are extensively deployed to provide online users with advisory services, and the design of recommender systems' functional features has received substantial research attention. The social aspects of such system interactions, however, have been less explored. Furthermore, measuring user satisfaction, though natural in a business environment, is often challenging for recommender systems research. Method. This study provides the first empirical test of an adaptation of the information system success model in the context of recommender systems. Additionally, the dual-coding theory argument was introduced to examine the model. Analysis. Based on the proposed model, two presentation types are compared. An experimental design is used and a questionnaire is developed for analysis. Results. The experiment's results have shown that the recommender system designed on the basis of the dual-coding theory is better than the traditional recommender system in all aspects. Conclusions. Perceived usefulness and the user satisfaction have a significant positive relationship both with continued intention to use and continued intention to provide.

Yeni Medya Ekseninde “Siborg Yabancı”ya Yönelik Kavramsal Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: Özselçuk Simge
Published: March 2022

Yeni medya, birçok kavramı olduğu gibi, sosyoloji literatüründe önemli bir yere sahip olan yabancı toplumsal tipini de dönüşüme uğratmıştır. Değişen dünyanın yeni iletişim ortamında dünya, küresel bir köye evrilirken sınırlar ortadan kalkmış, aşina olduğumuz kategoriler de başkalaşım geçirmiştir. Modern dönemin geleneksel söyleminde sınırları ihlal eden bir anlam taşıyan “yabancı” kategorisi, iletişim alanında yaşanan teknolojik gelişmeler sonucu sınırların muğlak hale gelmesine yol açmıştır. Bilgisayar vasıtasıyla dolayımlanan özne, yeni iletişim ortamı olarak adlandırdığımız siber mekân üzerinde melez bir kimlik kazanmıştır. Feminist kuramcı Donna Haraway’in post-hümanist bir yaklaşımla kavramsal temele oturttuğu sibernetik organizma, günümüz dünyasında her türlü kategorik zıtlıkları geçersiz kılmakla kalmamış, aynı zamanda bu çelişkilerin sentezlenmesine ve Simmel'in "yabancı" toplumsal kategorisinin bir adım ileri taşınmasına imkân tanımıştır. Bu çalışmada, yeni iletişim teknolojilerinin yol açtığı bedensizleşme sonucu siber mekânın yersiz-yurtsuz dijital göçebelerinin siborg yabancı haline dönüşmesi, kaynakların derlenmesi yöntemi ile kavramsal olarak incelenmiştir. Yeni iletişim ortamında siborg bir görünüm kazanan yabancı, uluslararası literatür bağlamında yeni bir kavram olmakla birlikte ulusal literatür ve iletişim sosyolojisi açısından ilk kez bu araştırma kapsamında irdelenecektir. Siborg yabancı kavramı, gerek iletişim gerekse sosyoloji bilimleri üzerine araştırmalar yapan her akademisyen için heyecan verici bir çalışma alanı sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, Web 4.0 olarak tanımlanan yeni iletişim çağının bize sunduğu farklı iletişim biçimlerini anlamak, yabancı kategorisinin siber mekânda yaşadığı dönüşümü yeni medya bağlamında değerlendirmek, ulusal literatüre yeni bir kavram kazandırmak ve sonraki çalışmalar için kaynak bir metin oluşturmaktır.

Published: March 2022

The issue of domestic violence is neglected in current medical practice and the diagnosis associated with it thus escapes the attention of medical professionals. In this case report, we demonstrate rare and typical diseases of abused women, which should become warning signs for physicians (red flags) and lead them to screen domestic violence and intervene early. Failure to recognize domestic abuse as the cause of chronic health problems leads to lasting consequences and economically and personally burdens the health care system. Healthcare professionals of all specialties encounter abused women during their clinical practice and can thus actively participate in the prevention of domestic violence. However, it is women of reproductive age who are most at risk, so educating gynecologists and obstetricians on this issue is crucial. The aim of this article with a case study is to demonstrate the syndrome of a battered woman, its recognition and the possibility of immediate and brief intervention. Key words: chronic subdural hematoma – domestic violence – postdural puncture headache

A Novel Idea for Protection Against Battery Induced Fire Hazard in Electric Vehicles
Authors: Omkar Prabhakar Pawar  , Dr. Mrityunjaya Kappali  , Sanjeeth P. Amminabhavi
Published: March 2022

Of late a major drive is happening to shift to electric vehicles (EV) across the globe. Obvious reasons for this are the advantages such as no carbon pollution at the vehicle end, ease of control, economic running, etc. However, there are some issues also which need to be taken care of. One of them is the fire hazard induced by battery on board of the EV directly affecting the safety of the passengers and the vehicle itself. There are several incidents of such accidents reported. In an incident in China, which took placed in BYD e6 electric taxi, three occupants lost their life [6].Such incidents demotivate the potential customers and affect adversely the expected shift towards EV’s from the prevailing IC engine driven vehicles. The economic success of electric vehicle depends on the safety factor of the electric vehicle [7]. In this context, this paper proposes a novel method to provide protection against battery induced fire accident in EV’s. The proposed method detects occurrence of fire hazard and protection is provided by extinguishing the fire or for bigger fires, ejecting the battery itself physically out of the vehicle. The paper presents the design details. A prototype was also built and tested to demonstrate the proposed method, the test results of which are encouraging.

SÍNDROME DE HELLP: UMA ABORDAGEM TEÓRICA
Authors: Santos Emilly Raquel Dos
Published: March 2022

Introdução: A síndrome de HELLP é uma forma grave de transtorno hipertensivo gestacional, definida classicamente pela presença de hemólise, elevação das enzimas hepáticas e plaquetopenia durante a gravidez. Objetivo: O objetivo é apresentar as principais características da síndrome de HELLP, incidência, exames laboratoriais utilizados para o diagnóstico, complicações e tratamento. Material e métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica, com abordagem descritiva, de pesquisa em bancos de dados SciELO e PubMed. Resultados: A síndrome de HELLP desenvolve-se em 1 a 2 casos para cada 1000 gestações e ocorre com taxa de 20% na pré-eclâmpsia grave e eclampsia, sua importância reside no elevado índice de mortalidade materna e fetal. Essa síndrome geralmente é manifestada no terceiro trimestre da gestação, mas pode ocorrer também após o parto ou em idades gestacionais inferiores a 28 semanas. As gestantes portadoras dessa síndrome, têm como principais sintomas a dor abdominal, cefaleia frontral, náuseas, vômitos, perda de apetite e os escotomas visuais. A síndrome pode evoluir para algumas complicações maternas, como acidente vascular hemorrágico, quadro de coagulação intravascular, insuficiência renal e edema pulmonar. Para o diagnóstico precoce, deve-se realizar investigação laboratorial de maneira sistêmica nas mulheres com pré-eclâmpsia, eclampsia e/ou dor no quadrante superior direito do abdômen. Os principais exames laboratoriais solicitados para diagnóstico da síndrome de HELLP são de contagem de plaquetas, alterações eritrocitárias com icterícia ou bilirrubina total sérica associado a elevação de HDL, concentração de AST/TGO e/ou ALT/TGP. O objetivo inicial no tratamento da síndrome HELLP é a estabilização da gestante em conjunto com a avaliação fetal e, quando necessária, a indução do parto. Deve-se controlar a hipertensão grave e prevenir o quadro de convulsões através do uso de medicações adequadas. O parto é o único modo de cessar os efeitos da doença, entretanto, nem sempre está prontamente indicado, visto que em alguns casos a conduta conservadora pode ser realizada em benefício do feto. Conclusão: A síndrome de HELLP está relacionada a grande morbimortalidade materna e perinatal, desta forma, é de fundamental importância o diagnóstico oportuno da doença, através dos exames laboratoriais citados no texto.
ALTERAÇÕES DE MARCADORES BIOQUÍMICOS DECORRENTES DO USO ABUSIVO DE COCAÍNA ISOLADA OU ASSOCIADA AO ÁLCOOL
Authors: Silva Raisa Barbara Broggio
Published: March 2022

Introdução: A dependência química caracteriza-se por um problema de saúde pública que atinge todas as classes da população. O uso isolado ou associado de substâncias psicoativas tem aumentando significativamente nas últimas décadas, sendo responsável não apenas por desordens comportamentais, mas metabólicas. A cocaína é uma droga extraída da planta Erythroxylon coca, de onde também se produz outras drogas como a merla, crack e oxi. Trata-se de uma droga estimulante do sistema nervoso central, lipofílica, que quando associada ao álcool gera um metabólito altamente tóxico denominado cocaetileno. Objetivo: Relacionar as principais alterações enzimáticas e lipídicas decorrentes do uso abusivo de cocaína e bem como sua associação com o álcool. Material e métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura de caráter descritivo e exploratório utilizando como base os estudos publicados em português nos últimos dez anos nas plataformas SciELO, LILACs e Google Acadêmico. Resultados: O uso isolado de cocaína demonstra alterações significativas no aumento de triglicerídeos e redução nos níveis de colesterol total e HDL. A avaliação das aminotransferases demonstrou um aumento de ALT e a diminuição de AST. Evidenciou-se que o uso concomitante de cocaína e álcool promoveu a redução nos níveis de triglicerídeos, HDL, ALT e Colesterol Total o aumento da Gama-GT. Durante a abstinência, foi constatado a permanência das alterações desses marcadores bioquímicos, incluindo alterações da Gama-GT, o que pode sugerir uma “cicatriz” metabólica. Os estudos não relataram alterações nos níveis de LDL. Conclusão: O uso de cocaína isolada ou em associação ao álcool além de representar um problema de saúde pública por resultar em danos a níveis psicossociais e promover intoxicação, gera danos hepáticos graves, refletindo significativamente no perfil lipídico e enzimático que podem perdurar por tempo indeterminado, sendo necessário novos estudos destes marcadores no período da abstinência.
Demons, sorcerers, and witches
Authors: Valente Michaela
Published: March 2022

Wier’s demonological thought centred around the primary role given to the
devil and the demons, with an accurate discussion of demonology past and
present: from the Malleus Maleficarum to the Malleus daemonum. Drawing
upon these primary considerations, Wier distinguishes the category of
magicians, who he considered responsible for their own actions, from
the category of witches, who were physical and moral victims of demonic
action. On philological, legal, philosophical, and medical grounds, Wier
maintained that witches needed to be re-educated and not punished
with capital punishment, whereas magicians, and especially poisoners,
warranted more severe punishments. Wier systematically addresses all
salient issues, from the pact with the devil to metamorphosis.

Published: March 2022

This chapter’s title comes from Fantastic Voyage (1966), a Cold War–era
movie in which a miniaturized American submarine enters the body of
a Soviet-bloc defector in order to save his life by removing a blood clot
in his brain. Beginning with that fusion of brain and mind, the chapter
ponders this book’s two main observations: first, that brainfilms assume
the ideology of the cerebral subject as a visual and narrative resource,
but nearly always question or problematize it in their plots; second, that
the body persists in spite of the relative disincarnation operated by the
reduction of self to brain and that the medium of cinema has functioned
as one of the most powerful modern reminders of humanity’s essentially
embodied nature.
“A New Visible World”: Developing a Visual Vocabulary for the Microscopic
Authors: Doherty Meghan C.
Published: March 2022

This chapter uses Robert Hooke’s Micrographia to examine the intersection
of visual conventions in portraiture with the viewing of the microscopic
world. In the “Preface” to Micrographia, Hooke asserted that he had discovered
“a new visible World” through the help of newly invented optical
devices. Before the publication of Micrographia there was little visual
consensus about how best to display this new microscopic world. For
Hooke, accuracy was produced through repeated looking and drawing with
continued reference to the visible world. Hooke was aided by the visual
vocabulary developed by engravers for translating a three-dimensional
world into a two-dimensional representation of it, and his awareness of
these conventions is what set his illustrations apart from his predecessors.
“Nearly Resembling the Live Birds”: Collecting and Collating for the Reformation of Natural History
Authors: Doherty Meghan C.
Published: March 2022

This chapter examines the plates in Francis Willughby’s Ornithology and
unearths the sources used by the engravers to produce plates that nearly
resembled the life, to use John Ray’s phrase. While Ray asserted he was
not repeating textual error put forth by his predecessors, such as Gessner
and Aldrovandi, he used their illustrations as the basis for his own as
well as drawings of live and dead birds that he collected. By uncovering
the original sources for the illustrations, this chapter argues that greater
value was placed on recognizable, printed images than on drawings collected
by the author. This conclusion leads to a larger argument about
the perceived truth-content of printed natural historical images in the
seventeenth century.
Coup and Anti-Coup
Authors: Grimm Jannis Julien
Published: March 2022

The military coup was a constitutive event. It triggered political subjectivation
processes both within the Islamist camp and within the coalition
of players who had asked for Mursi’s deposition. This chapter shows how
the coup virtually dichotomized Egypt’s political arena. This new societal
division cut across the formerly salient division between the people and
the regime by pitting an alliance of civic and state forces against an
equally variegated coalition of anti-coup forces. In this contest, both
sides articulated competing conceptions of legitimacy to discredit their
respective opponents and lionize their allies. They thereby unwittingly
conditioned alliance-building, authorities’ means of responding to protest
as well as how the public would come to evaluate the contending players
and their actions and goals.
Destruction I: Energy
Authors: Stapleton Erin K.
Published: March 2022

The first destruction outlines the relationship between what I refer to
as ‘operations of destruction’ and the economic and experiential basis
of energetic expenditure, which establishes the relationship between
destruction and experiences of sovereignty. This is achieved by first
examining Bataille’s ‘general economy’ more closely, before comparing
models of sovereignty, heterogeneity and experience. Bataille’s sovereignty
is defined in comparison to other philosophical, political and religious
uses of the term, including in the characterization of Egyptian and Christian
mythology, as well as Carl Schmitt’s ‘state of exception’ and Walter
Benjamin’s ‘sovereign violence’. The relationship between sovereignty and
aesthetics is then established through the introduction of Gilles Deleuze’s
simulacrum to the representative order of destruction.

"So you're the one getting this gift? Lucky you!

Someone who knows you has visited the museum.

They searched out things they thought you would care about, and they took photos and left messages for you."

This is the welcoming message for the Gift app, designed to create a very personal museum visit. Hybrid Museum Experiences use new technologies to augment, expand or alter the physical experience of visiting the museum. They are designed to be experienced in close relation to the physical space and exhibit. In this book we discuss three forms of hybridity in museum experiences: Incorporating the digital and the physical, creating social, yet personal and intimate experiences, and exploring ways to balance visitor participation and museum curation.

This book reports on a 3-year cross-disciplinary research project in which artists, design researchers and museum professionals have collaborated to create technology-mediated experiences that merge with the museum environment.
Action Research as a Method for Reflective Practice in Museums
Authors: Mortensen Christian Hviid , Olesen Anne Rørbæk , Malde Sejul , Løvlie Anders Sundnes
Published: March 2022

In this chapter we propose action research as a vehicle for reflective
practice and organisational learning. We consider organisational learning
essential to getting the most out of the digital opportunities and challenges
that museums are currently facing. We show how the GIFT action research
process functioned as a cross-organisational community of practice (COP)
with participants from 10 museums in Europe and USA. The COP provided
a safe space for reflection on museum practice for museum professionals
and resulted in a set of recommendations on novel ways of working. These
ways of working are illustrated with examples from our process. Finally,
we discuss some barriers for engaging in action research, embedding
learning and sustaining COPs.
Data-Driven Visiting Experiences
Authors: Benford Steve , Darzentas Dimitri , Bodiaj Edgar , Tennent Paul , Martindale Sarah , Cameron Harriet , Spors Velvet
Published: March 2022

Data is seen as the ‘new oil’ that drives the digital economy, and museums
are no exception to this. We investigate how data captured from hybrid
museum experiences can become a resource for designers, for museums,
and for visitors in their understanding of a museum and a museum visit.
We ground our discussion in three complementary case studies: Analysing
visitors’ movements in a touring virtual reality exhibition called Thresholds;
analysing their gifting behaviours in the Gift app; and capturing data
about how designers used our Visitor Box cards.
Evaluation
Authors: Back Jon , Spence Jocelyn
Published: March 2022

This chapter gives an overview of methods and tools for evaluating hybrid
experiences in a museum context, and in general, what is gained by doing
studies of visitor experiences. It offers strategies for the why, what, who,
where, when, and how of conducting evaluations. This includes goal-setting
for multiple stakeholders, formative studies, analyses, and ethics. The
strategies cover both quick-and-dirty methods as well as in-depth studies.
Remediating, Reframing and Restaging the Museum
Authors: Waern Annika , Løvlie Anders Sundnes
Published: March 2022

The final chapter of the book draws some perspective back to the first
chapters, focussing on how hybrid museum experiences may also challenge
museums in unforeseen ways. We charter the ways in which a
hybrid museum experience can change the way a museum is experienced.
Depending on context and the reasons for introducing a hybrid experience,
these changes can be seen as design opportunities, but they may also
challenge the expectations of stakeholders, including both museum
professionals and visitors. In order to make informed design choices in a
design project, it is important to be critically aware of these expectations.

Diet and Physical Activity Behaviors of Families Receiving Maternal and Child Health Services: The Perspective of the Home Visitor
Authors: Miller Sydney , Shirazipour Celina , Fata Holmes Aimee , Salvy Sarah-Jeanne , De la Haye Kayla
Published: March 2022

Women and children enrolled in federally funded home visitation services are at an increased risk for unhealthy diet and physical activity patterns. Home visitors have a privileged relationship with their clients and hold a unique perspective of the multilevel influences surrounding these behaviors. This study explored the question: “What are the home visitors’ perspectives and experiences with their families’ diet and physical activity behaviors?”. Home visitors enrolled in a larger trial were invited to participate in focus group sessions (n=13). Topics covered their clients’ constraints and capacity building opportunities for healthful diet and activity practices. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The home visitors discussed key influences of diet and activity, and three overarching themes were identified: (1) Acute periods of crises and mental health issues; (2) The role of the mother within the family; and (3) Support and barriers within mothers’ broader social network. The themes identified in this study highlight the complex, multidimensional influences on the dietary and physical activity patterns of these families, and pinpoint key areas of opportunity for intervention.
