Nutritional status impacting academics among school children in selected schools of North Chennai
Authors: A Bhooma Devi , M Revathy 
Published: August 2023

Abstract

Background:
Though numerous variables affect academic performance in children, one of the primary underlying causes is poor nutrition. Nutritional status determines how the body develops, how the mind works, and how one behaves and hence should be given sufficient priority in growing children. The likelihood of acquiring type 2 diabetes is becoming more common in children and adolescents with poor nutrition and unhealthy eating habits.

Aim:
This study aimed to determine the nutritional status of girls and boys studying in grade 9 and the influence of nutritional status with respect to achievements in academics.

Materials and Methods:
This was a descriptive study done based on the permission obtained in a private school located in North Chennai. The sample of 210 children of grade 9 was selected based on their academic performance, socioeconomic status, age, type of school, sex, family size (siblings order), and parent’s educational status randomly. Data were collected in the form of questionnaire to understand the impact of nutritional status influencing academic achievements.

Results:
Of the 210 participants studied, the nutritional status among boys and girls was perceived differently (P < 0.01). The nutritional status with respect to parental education and sibling order also had a significant difference (P < 0.01). There was a positive correlation between academic achievement in the quarterly and half-yearly exams and the nutritional status of the students.

Conclusions:
The study report clearly indicates that there is a relationship between the nutritional status of the children and their academic achievement. The nutritional status of children has also an impact on their risk of developing diabetes.

ABSTRACT.
Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) and Schistosoma mansoni infections are common parasitic infections in sub-Saharan Africa. Their distributions vary across altitudes in Ethiopia. Hence, ongoing updates of infection risk factors and prevalence data are necessary for successful intervention. A school-based, cross-sectional study was conducted from October to December 2019 involving 530 schoolchildren who were recruited by systematic random sampling from Amhara Regional State. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on sociodemographic, geographical and environmental factors. Stool samples were collected and processed by Ritchie’s and Kato Katz techniques. Data were entered into EpiData and analyzed using SPSS. Descriptive statistics were used to compute prevalence, and logistic regression was used to assess factors associated with STHs and S. mansoni infections. Variables with P < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Among 530 schoolchildren, 169 (31.9%) and 78 (14.7%) were infected with STHs and S. mansoni, respectively. The prevalence of STHs (40.2%) in the semi-highlands and S. mansoni (30.4%) in the lowlands was high. Infrequent shoes wearing, exposure to soil, not washing vegetables before eating, and living outside in lowland areas were significantly associated with STHs infections (P < 0.05). Schoolchildren who fetched water to irrigate fields, swam in rivers, and lived in lowland areas were significantly associated with S. mansoni infection (P < 0.05). In conclusion, prevalence rates of STHs and S. mansoni infections differed across altitudes in Amhara Regional State. Therefore, current control strategies including deworming and provision of clean water and education on sanitation and hygiene should be intensified and adapted to the local context.

Background Although allopathic (MD) and osteopathic (DO) students have similar curricular requirements, little is known about differences in MD and DO preparedness for obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) residency.
Objective To assess differences in experiences and confidence of MD vs DO students who matched to OB/GYN.
Methods This cross-sectional survey study was open to all fourth-year medical students who matched to OB/GYN in the United States in April 2021. The survey included demographic data, clinical experiences, confidence (5-point sliding scale), and a 11-item knowledge test. Survey responses were compared to assess for disparities in experiences and confidence.
Results Survey response rate was 72.0% (1057 of 1469) students matched to OB/GYN postgraduate year 1 positions. Of the 871 MD and 175 DO responding students, MDs were more likely to have clerkships ≥6 weeks (78.1% vs 15.4%; P&lt;.001) and a home sub-internship (92.0% vs 53.4%; P&lt;.001). DOs reported more hands-on experiences with procedures (MD median=35 [20-35] vs DO median=40 [25-65]; P=.002). There was no difference in self-reported confidence in knowledge, technical skills, or having a realistic sense of internship, and no difference in baseline knowledge test scores. DOs felt less confident about their medical school preparation (aOR 0.40; 95% CI 0.25-0.66; P&lt;.001) and were more likely to perceive inequity of residency preparation (aOR 1.88; 95% CI 1.18-3.00; P=.002).
Conclusions MD students matched to US OB/GYN residency programs reported longer clerkship and more home sub-internships, while DO students reported more hands-on experiences. Despite reporting similar confidence in knowledge and skills, DO students felt less prepared for internship.

Background Prior literature demonstrates internal medicine residents have suboptimal competence in critical appraisal. Journal clubs are a common intervention to address this skill, but engagement and critical appraisal skill improvement are variable.
Objective We evaluated journal club engagement and critical appraisal skills after implementation of a gamified format.
Methods This was a single-arm study, conducted from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, involving internal medicine residents at 2 US programs. Residents participated in a 12-month gamified journal club that sorted residents into 2 teams. Residents attended an orientation followed by 6 to 10 monthly, hour-long competitions. In each competition, a subset of the resident teams competed to answer a clinical prompt by critically appraising an original article of their choice. A chief medical resident or faculty member moderated each session and chose the winning team, which received a nominal prize of candy. The primary outcome was engagement, measured by a 7-question survey developed de novo by the authors with Likert scale responses at baseline and 12 months. The secondary outcome was critical appraisal skills assessed by the Berlin Questionnaire.
Results Sixty-one of 72 eligible residents (84.7%) completed both engagement surveys. Residents reported statistically significant improvements in most dimensions of engagement, including a higher likelihood of reading articles before sessions (posttest minus pretest score -1.08; 95% CI -1.34 to -0.82; P&lt;.001) and valuing time spent (posttest minus pretest score -0.33; 95% CI -0.55 to -0.11; P=.004). Critical appraisal skills marginally improved at 12 months (posttest minus pretest score -0.84; 95% CI -1.54 to -0.14; P=.02).
Conclusions Our study demonstrates a gamified journal club was associated with improvements in engagement and minimal change in critical appraisal skills.

Background Residents must understand the social drivers of health in the communities they serve to deliver quality care. While resident orientation provides an opportunity to introduce residents to social and structural drivers of health, inequity, and care delivery relevant to the patient population in their new communities, many graduate medical education orientation curricula do not include this content.
Objective To report the development and implementation of a novel, patient-centered health equity orientation curriculum, including initial feasibility and acceptability data as well as preliminary self-reported outcomes.
Methods The curriculum was developed by academic faculty in collaboration with institutional and local health equity champions. Content centered on the history of inequities and racism within the local communities and included didactic presentations, asynchronous video, and virtual site visits to community resource groups. The curriculum was administered to all 2021 incoming Vanderbilt University Medical Center medical and surgical residents (N=270) over 2 half-days, both in-person and via Zoom. Data were collected anonymously via pre- and post-surveys.
Results A total of 216 residents (80% response rate) provided pre-survey response data, but only 138 residents (51.1%) provided post-survey data, including self-reported demographics (eg, underrepresented in medicine status) and level of agreement with 10 competency-based statements coded as pertaining to knowledge, skills, behaviors, or attitudes (KSBAs). Primary outcomes included improvement in residents’ KSBAs from pre- to post-survey. The greatest increases in percentages occurred with content that was specific to local history and population.
Conclusions In a class of incoming residents, this study demonstrated feasibility, acceptability, and pre-post curriculum improvement in self-reported KSBAs when addressing health equity issues.
