The association between exposure to a radio campaign on nutrition and mothers’ nutrition- and health-related attitudes and minimal acceptable diet of children 6–36 months old
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a radio campaign involving serial 10-minute drama episodes, 10-minute on air discussion of each episode by trained community health workers and 30-minute phone-ins from listeners in improving mothers’ nutrition- and health-related attitudes (HNRAs) and children’s minimum acceptable diet (MAD). Design: A two-arm quasi-experimental trial with a pre-post design was used to quantify the effect of a radio ca…
The Effect of Pain Resilience on Experimental Pain Experience Across Different Stimuli
OBJECTIVE: Pain resilience, one's ability to maintain behavioral engagement and adaptively regulate cognitions and emotions despite intense or prolonged pain, has been shown to protect against negative pain-related outcomes in experimental settings. A weakness of this research, and much of experimental pain research in general, has been the lack of rationale behind the selection of noxious stimuli, which can activate different nociceptive fibers.…
Hyperventilation as a Predictor of Blood Donation–Related Vasovagal Symptoms
OBJECTIVE: Most of the research on vasovagal reactions has focused on the contributions of cardiovascular activity to the development of symptoms. However, other research suggests that additional mechanisms like hyperventilation may contribute to the process. The goal of the present investigation was to examine the influences of cardiovascular and respiratory variables on vasovagal symptoms. METHODS: This study was part of a randomized controlled…
Telephone-Administered Motivational Interviewing Reduces Risky Sexual Behavior in HIV-Positive Late Middle-Age and Older Adults
Psychometric Examination of the Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness/Spirituality Among College Students
Resurgent interest in the relations between religiousness/spirituality (R/S) and health is evident in the scientific literature but much of the research fails to capture the proposed multidimensional nature of R/S. This problematic situation is compounded by the existence of a plethora of measures mostly lacking substantial empirical or even theoretical support. The Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness/Spirituality (BMMRS) was develope…
The Relationship Between Blood Pressure and Cognitive Performance in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III)
OBJECTIVE: The present study examined the relationship between blood pressure and cognitive performance in 2727 healthy men and women between the ages of 20 and 59 years who participated in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III). METHODS: Participants were selected from a subsample of 5662 NHANES III respondents who completed an initial home interview, a medical examination, and a series of computerized cognitive …
Distraction Reduces Self-Reported Physiological Reactions to Blood Donation in Novice Donors With a Blunting Coping Style
OBJECTIVE: Vasovagal reactions experienced by some blood donors (eg, faintness, lightheadedness, and dizziness) have been shown to be related to a decreased likelihood of future blood donations. This study evaluated the efficacy of audiovisual distraction as a means of reducing self-reported physiological reactions in first-time blood donors. Because interventions that are consistent with an individual's preferred coping style have been shown to …
